Source: Second Anniversary Stream (42:50)
Characters: Cain, Nero, Owen, Shylock

Location: Manor Lounge (Night)

Shylock: Cain. You know of the coming anniversary, don't you? It's a very special day for not only us wizards, but the Sage, as well.

Cain: Of course. We've all been looking forward to it, and now it's right around the corner. Everyone here feels the same way, right? Nero? Owen?

Nero: Well... I mean...

Owen: What are you talking about? Anniversary of what? Oh, I know... It's the anniversary of a certain, virtuous knight who got done in all too easily and had his eye stolen from him, isn't it?

Cain: Jeez, I'm not talking about that. The anniversary's, you know, it's the special anniversary.

Nero: No, wait, hold up, don't just respond to something that crazy like it's nothing!? (Sighs)... Man, oh man... These guys are way too much... How'd this smorgasboard of people end up in a room together? And now they've got me mixed up in this.

Shylock: (Laughs) Must you crease your brow so?

To celebrate this special day, we special wizards shall gather at a special place.

And though we have some time before the hour of the anniversary, the minutes and hours we have now will not visit us again. That makes our time together very, very special indeed. We should set aside our worries and instead focus on enjoying the moment.

Cain: Hey, can't say I disagree with how Western wizards think.

And Nero's got a point— We do have a pretty unusual lineup here today, and that makes for great conversation. It means we can do all kinds of things only this combo of people can get done.

Nero: Dunno about "great" conversation, but...

Owen: Ne~ro.

Nero: AH!?

Owen: What's the most important thing you need if you want to have a special time?

Nero: Please don't just appear behind people all of a sudden...

Owen: You know, I'm starting to feel a special sort of restlessness... Like I want to mush everyone in this room into a pulpy-squishy mess and make them disappear.

Tell me, Nero. What's the most important thing you need to calm my restless heart?

Nero: A... special, sweet dessert?

Owen: Exactly.

Shylock: How wonderful. If Nero is going to be making his special, sweet confections, I wonder what I should prepare? I suppose a special, sweet cocktail might do, but I believe tea brewed from special tea leaves would suit special sweets that much better.

Cain: All right! Then I'll prep some special bacon and a special dance. Man, this is gonna be a special night!

Nero: The word "special"'s startin' to lose meanin' at this point...

Anyway, the anniversary's a ways away, so just what are we preppin' now for?

Cain: Isn't this special celebration practice for the anniversary?

Shylock: Precisely. We're doing all this to celebrate and enjoy this time while it still remains with us, yes?

Owen: All that pretense and so many words. What you really want is an excuse for senseless revelry.

Not that I mind so long as I get to have my sweets.

Cain: (Laughs) Well, when the actual day of the anniversary rolls around, we're gonna party so hard it'll blow today out of the water, so no need to worry about that.

Owen: Ohhh? Then do you want me to gouge out your other eye and give you another anniversary to celebrate?

Cain: Hey, of course not. On the big day, we're gonna have a party with the Sage, and—

Nero: Did you guys just pull the same gimmick twice!?
