[00:11] Shar
    I hear you've submitted a thirteenth
    article to the Zodiac Precepts.
[00:16] Chu
    Yes.
[00:19] Chu
    Soon...
[00:20] Chu
    Soon, I will be able to destroy the cat.
[00:25] Chu
    I'm almost there...
[00:31] Shar
    Cat and rat...
[00:33] Shar
    The connection they share
    is one that nobody can undo.
[00:37] Shar
    But...
[00:58] [SONG] Title
    ETOTAMA
SIGN    A Long, Serpentine Fate
[02:28] Nya
    Where should we go next?
    What should we buy?
[02:31] Nya
    If we drag our feet, the day will
    be over before we know it!
[02:35] Takeru
    You're in an awfully good mood.
[02:37] Nya
    Well, yeah! I learned a
    lethal new technique!
[02:41] Nya
    I'm getting so much stronger,
    my own potential frightens me!
SIGN    Neko Masshiguran
[02:47] Shar
    Oh?
[02:48] Nya
    Hey, Shar-tan! What are you up to?
[02:52] Takeru
    What was that? I don't get it.
[02:56] Takeru
    You're into gardening, Shar-tan?
[02:59] Shar
    No. It's food for this little one.
[03:02] Both
    "Little one"?
[03:03] Shar
    Yes, this little one.
[03:04] Shar
    I have to feed it poison regularly.
[03:07] Takeru
    But that's just a hair ornament, isn't it?
[03:09] Nya
    Wait! So is this a poisonous plant?!
[03:11] Takeru
    No, that's a bay laure—
[03:14] Nya
    It's bitter! I'm dying! I'm dying!
[03:16] Shar
    That was a joke.
[03:17] Nya
    Which part was the joke?!
[03:20] Shar
    This isn't poisonous. It's a bay
    laurel to use for cooking.
[03:23] Nya
    Oh!
[03:25] Nya
    So this snake is just a fake, too, right?
SIGN    Chomp
[03:30] Nya
    Ow!
[03:31] Shar
    Be careful.
[03:32] Nya
    Too late for that!
SIGN    Hiss
[03:34] Shar
    This really is a venomous snake.
[03:36] Nya
    Seriously?!
[03:38] Nya
    What?
[03:41] Nya
    Hey! Why am I turning to stone?!
[03:43] Nya
    W-Wait! Takeru, do somethi—
[03:46] Shar
    Oh, dear.
[03:47] Takeru
    Nya-tan! Nya-tan!
[03:48] Takeru
    What do we do?!
[03:50] Shar
    She needs the antidote,
    or she'll be like that forever.
[03:53] Takeru
    No way...
[03:54] Takeru
    Where is the antidote?
[03:56] Shar
    Let us embark on a journey, then.
[03:58] Takeru
    Pardon?
[03:59] Shar
    A journey to obtain the antidote.
[04:02] Takeru
    Wh-What is...
[04:14] Shar
    It's the snake train.
[04:15] Takeru
    Snake... It's exactly what it looks like.
[04:17] Shar
    Now, let's go.
[04:21] Takeru
    A-All right.
[04:31] Takeru
    What is this place?
[04:32] Shar
    You're better off not knowing the details.
[04:35] Shar
    For a human like you,
    it's quite serpentine logic.
[04:40] Shar
    That was a pun using "serpent,"
    as in a snake—
[04:42] Takeru
    Yeah, you don't have to explain. I got it.
[04:45] Shar
    I see.
[04:46] Takeru
    So this goes to a place where we can find
[04:48] Takeru
    the antidote to return Nya-tan to normal?
[04:51] Shar
    It might be there, and it might not be.
[04:53] Takeru
    It might not?!
[04:54] Shar
    Just kidding.
[04:55] Takeru
    Which is it?!
[04:57] Shar
    Look there.
[04:59] Shar
    That's the Shrine of the Characters.
[05:02] Takeru
    Huh?
SIGN    Shrine of the
    Characters
[05:11] Shar
    We've arrived.
[05:12] Takeru
    And the antidote is here?
[05:13] Shar
    Since we're here,
    let's do some sightseeing.
[05:18] Shar
    Look. There's something over there.
[05:21] Takeru
    What's that?
[05:29] Shar
    Now, I'll explain.
[05:31] Takeru
    What?
[05:33] Shar
    Chu-tan.
[05:36] Shar
    She is a very scrupulous Eto-shin who
    addresses all things with sincerity.
[05:40] Shar
    Her favorite food is a product
    stumbled upon around 4,000 BC
[05:44] Shar
    when cow milk stored in a bag made from
[05:45] Shar
    a sheep's stomach hardened due
    to the work of enzymes—
[05:47] Takeru
    Cheese, right?
[05:51] Shar
    She protects the southern Kanto region.
SIGN    Rat
[05:55] Shar
    Next is
SIGN    Ox
[05:56] Shar
    Mo-tan.
[05:57] Shar
    She is a pervert.
[06:01] Shar
    She's actually a vegetarian.
[06:03] Takeru
    No way! Never expected that!
[06:05] Shar
    She protects the Tokai region.
SIGN    Ox
[06:09] Shar
    Shima-tan has muscles ideal
    for hand-to-hand combat,
SIGN    Tiger
[06:12] Shar
    so she's on the heavy side.
[06:14] Shar
    Uh, is it okay to say that?
[06:15] Shar
    Her favorite things are liquor, snacks,
[06:18] Shar
    and the plate the snacks were on.
[06:19] Takeru
    She likes the plate?!
[06:21] Takeru
    So that's why she took my—
[06:22] Shar
    She protects the Kinki region.
SIGN    Tiger
[06:27] Shar
    Usa-tan is ten kilograms
    lighter than Shima-tan.
[06:30] Takeru
    Again, you shouldn't say that...
[06:33] Shar
    She protects Hokuriku.
SIGN    Rabbit
[06:37] Shar
    Dora-tan is an adequate C-cup.
[06:39] Takeru
    Hey!
[06:41] Shar
    She protects the Tosan region.
SIGN    Dragon
[06:43] Shar
    And when I say C-cup, I mean
[06:46] Shar
    the difference between the top and under—
[06:47] Takeru
    Next, please!
[06:50] Shar
    I protect the Chugoku region.
[06:52] Takeru
    That's it?
[06:53] Shar
    You should learn many things
    about me on this journey.
SIGN    Snake
[06:59] Shar
    Uma-tan is haunted by the
    unpleasant sound of her name.
[07:02] Shar
    Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit,
[07:04] Shar
    dragon, snake... snake...
[07:06] Takeru
    Oh, come on. Remember her.
SIGN    Horse
[07:09] Shar
    She protects the Kyushu region.
[07:11] Shar
    Mei-tan's greatest concern
    is her yearly shearing.
[07:14] Takeru
    Shearing?
[07:15] Shar
    Every hair on her body is shaved off.
[07:17] Takeru
    Please don't lie.
SIGN    Sheep
[07:20] Shar
    She protects Hokkaido.
[07:22] Takeru
    Can we get to searching for
    Nya-tan's antidote soon?
[07:26] Shar
    Key-tan protects northern Kanto,
    Piyo-tan protects Tohoku,
[07:29] Shar
    Inu-tan protects Shikoku,
    and Uri-tan protects Okinawa.
[07:32] Takeru
    Thanks for consolidating those.
[07:34] Shar
    You're welcome.
[07:35] Takeru
    When I see it this way,
[07:37] Takeru
    I can tell the zodiac really
    does protect all of Japan.
[07:40] Shar
    Exactly.
[07:41] Shar
    That's why we can't lose
    even one of the twelve.
[07:45] Shar
    It looks like the antidote isn't here.
[07:48] Takeru
    We haven't even looked for it...
[07:51] Shar
    Oh, dear. We need to hurry back,
    or the curator will appoint us.
[07:55] Takeru
    Okay, okay. Let's get going.
[08:01] Shar
    That was a close one.
[08:03] Takeru
    Um, this is a journey to
[08:06] Takeru
    get the antidote to fix Nya-tan, right?
[08:09] Shar
    Yes. It's not a recap
    episode, by any means.
[08:12] Takeru
    Recap... episode?
[08:14] Voice
    The next stop is the Shrine
    of the ETM12 Setting.
[08:18] Voice
    Shrine of the ETM12 Setting.
[08:29] Shar
    Don't touch this reflective water.
[08:31] Takeru
    Why not?
[08:33] Shar
    The water is difficult to animate.
[08:35] Shar
    They can't use as many
    cels in a recap episode.
[08:37] Takeru
    I'm sorry. I have no idea
    what you're talking about.
[08:41] Shar
    I'm going to give you a review
    of what the ETM12 is.
SIGN    Zodiac Precepts
[08:45] Shar
    The ETM12 is carried out
[08:47] Shar
    according to the Zodiac Precepts.
[08:50] Takeru
    Zodiac Precepts?
[08:52] Shar
    Twelve rules established by the gods.
SIGN    Dragon
[08:58] Uri
    The Eto-shin Selection Festival,
    held once every sixty years,
[09:01] Uri
    where Eto-musume can attain the rank
    of Eto-shin with their own fists...
[09:04] Uri
    That's the ETM12!
[09:07] Uri
    For Nya-tan to become an Eto-shin,
[09:08] Uri
    she must defeat all twelve Eto-shin in
    battle while the ETM12 is in progress
[09:11] Uri
    and obtain all of their Sol/Lull Seals.
[09:20] Takeru
    If she loses her Sol/Lull Seal,
SIGN    Cat
[09:22] Takeru
    she can't participate in the ETM12, right?
[09:25] Shar
    Correct. Nor can she transform
    into Pretty Mode anymore.
[09:29] Nya
    Etotama! Sol/Lull Charge!
SIGN    Cat
[09:32] Takeru
    With stuff like this,
[09:33] Takeru
    they're usually larger and tougher-looking
    after they transform, right?
[09:37] Takeru
    So why do they get smaller?
[09:39] Shar
    It's a result of them being condensed.
[09:41] Takeru
    Condensed?
[09:42] Shar
    Sol/Lull from humans collects in
[09:45] Shar
    our Etotama, our souls,
[09:48] Shar
    and converted into our battle power.
[09:50] Shar
    It's when we're the most
    tightly-packed with power.
[09:53] Takeru
    Sounds kinda like 100%
    juice from concentrate.
[09:57] Takeru
    By the way, there are
[09:59] Takeru
    108 Eto-musume participating
    in the ETM12, right?
[10:02] Shar
    That's right.
[10:03] Takeru
    I've never met any other than Nya-tan.
[10:07] Shar
    All the other Eto-musume
[10:09] Shar
    were defeated by Chu-tan.
[10:13] Takeru
    Chu-tan is that strong?
[10:16] Shar
    Since the ETM12 of 2,000 years ago,
[10:19] Shar
    Chu-tan has been the most powerful,
    and the leader of the Eto-shin.
[10:23] Takeru
    Wasn't the ETM12 of 2,000 years ago...
[10:26] (Flashback) Dora
    It's true that the ETM12 of
[10:29] (Flashback) Dora
    2,000 years ago was a footrace.
[10:31] (Flashback) Shima
    And the twelve Zodiac gods chosen
    then were the current twelve.
[10:35] (Flashback) Takeru
    But that means the cat should hate the rat.
[10:39] (Flashback) Takeru
    Why does Chu-tan hate Nya-tan?
[10:43] Shar
    The connection between the cat and rat is
[10:46] Shar
    a complex, elaborate tangle.
[10:48] Shar
    If we tried to undo it by force,
    they would surely be torn apart and die.
[10:51] Takeru
    Is there something you know, Shar-tan?
[10:54] Shar
    Well,
[10:55] Shar
    I might know, or I might not know.
[11:00] Shar
    Oh, it's that time already?
[11:02] Shar
    Time to head for the next shrine.
SIGN    
    If an Eto-shin loses a Sol/Lull Seal battle,
    her Sol/Lull Seal will be transferred to the
    Eto-musume who defeated her.
    The Eto-shin may continue to participate
    in the ETM12 with a new Sol/Lull Seal.
SIGN    
    An Eto-musume who loses a Sol/Lull Seal battle
    against an Eto-shin will lose her own Sol/Lull Seal,
    and her right to participate in the current ETM12 will be revoked.
[11:19] Shar
    Incidentally, how do you...
[11:22] Shar
    How do you feel about Nya-tan?
[11:25] Takeru
    Huh?
[11:26] Takeru
    Actually,
[11:28] Takeru
    Shima-tan and Uri-tan both asked
    me the same thing recently.
[11:33] Takeru
    When I first met her,
    I had no idea what to do, but...
[11:35] Shar
    It seems...
[11:38] Shar
    That you are not so opposed
    to a recap episode anymore.
[11:41] Takeru
    What do you mean?
[11:43] Shar
    You just gave me a line that will
[11:45] Shar
    let us transition smoothly
    into a flashback scene.
[11:48] Shar
    Though, we already threw in a
    few flashback scenes earlier.
[11:52] Takeru
    You're kidding!
[11:53] Shar
    You understand well how this should flow.
[11:55] Shar
    You're very clever.
[11:57] Voice
    The next stop is the Shrine of
    Reviewing the Story Thus Far.

[12:01] Shar
    We can stay on the train
    from this point on.
[12:01] Voice
    Shrine of Reviewing the Story Thus Far.
[12:04] Takeru
    Huh?
[12:05] Shar
    The snake train is about to molt.
[12:07] Takeru
    Molt?!
[12:08] Shar
    Just kidding.
[12:09] Takeru
    This is tiring...
SIGN    Shrine of Reviewing the Story Thus Far
[12:20] (Flashback) Nya
    Meow.
[12:23] (Flashback) Nya
    Did that excite you?
[12:26] (Flashback) Nya
    Did that lick excite you?
[12:29] (Flashback) Nya
    Why?!
[12:30] (Flashback) Nya
    How are you not excited after a run-in
    with a lucky licking situation like that?!
SIGN    Hmm...
[12:35] (Flashback) Takeru
    I see... So this is a lucky situation, huh?
[12:38] (Flashback) Nya
    Seriously?
[12:38] (Flashback) Takeru
    I don't really get it, but sorry
    I didn't meet your expectations.
[12:41] (Flashback) Nya
    Depressing!
[12:44] (Flashback) Nya
    Meow?
[12:45] (Flashback) Nya
    Meow! Onii-chan, you pervert!
[12:50] (Flashback) Nya
    Oh, Takeru-han! Do you feel better?
[12:54] (Flashback) Nya
    Where are you going?
[12:56] (Flashback) Takeru
    To buy food...
[12:57] (Flashback) Takeru
    and scout around.
[13:01] (Flashback) ---
    
[13:02] (Flashback) Takeru
    Add indecent exposure to the charges.
SIGN    Fidget
[13:06] (Flashback) Nya
    I wish I could jump into a hole!
[13:08] (Flashback) Takeru
    Here.
SIGN    Hole
[13:09] (Flashback) Nya
    Seriously?!
[13:11] (Flashback) Uri
    Pleased to meet you. I'm Uri-tan.
[13:14] (Flashback) Takeru
    So I might as well ask...
    Where'd you come from?
[13:17] (Flashback) ---
    From this hole.
SIGN    Hole
[13:19] (Flashback) Takeru
    I should've known...
[13:20] (Flashback) Takeru
    Where does that hole lead to?
[13:22] (Flashback) Uri
    The world of the gods.
[13:23] (Flashback) Takeru
    Gods?!
[13:24] (Flashback) Uri
    Sometimes.
[13:25] (Flashback) Takeru
    What do you mean, sometimes?
[13:26] (Flashback) All
    Fire!
[13:31] (Flashback) Takeru
    I might as well ask...
[13:32] (Flashback) Takeru
    You know all these people, right?
[13:35] (Flashback) Uri
    Yep, yep.
[13:36] (Flashback) Shima
    Nya-tan can't help that. She's got amnesia.
[13:39] (Flashback) Mei
    She's forgotten a lot of important things.
[13:43] (Flashback) Mei
    Poor girl...
[13:46] (Flashback) Nya
    Everyone working hard?
[13:48] (Flashback) Takeru
    Huh? What are the Eto-shin doing here?
[13:52] (Flashback) Nya
    They all work at this café.
[13:54] (Flashback) Takeru
    They work?
[13:55] (Flashback) Takeru
    Isn't Sol/Lull all they need?
[13:58] (Flashback) Usa
    Sol/Lull and money are
    two different things.
[14:01] (Flashback) Shima
    The more money you have, the better.
[14:03] (Flashback) Shima
    It never gets in the way.
[14:04] (Flashback) Shima
    Right, Shar-tan?
[14:06] (Flashback) Shar
    Yes.
[14:07] (Flashback) Takeru
    She's playing the stock market!
[14:09] (Flashback) Shar
    For me, it's a piece of cake.
[14:13] Takeru
    You're still dealing in stocks?
[14:15] Shar
    Yes.
[14:16] Takeru
    That seems difficult.
[14:17] Shar
    Even without doing anything extraordinary,
[14:19] Shar
    it's possible to gain
    extraordinary results.
[14:23] Shar
    As long as you follow the basic rules.
[14:25] Takeru
    Huh...
[14:28] (Flashback) Chu
    So this is where you are.
[14:33] (Flashback) Uri
    Chu-tan!
[14:34] (Flashback) Takeru
    Chu-tan?
[14:35] (Flashback) Uri
    She's the rat Eto-shin.
[14:38] (Flashback) Chu
    I will only destroy the cat clan.
[14:40] (Flashback) Dora
    If it gets dangerous, surrender right away.
[14:44] (Flashback) Shima
    Got that, idiot student?
[14:47] (Flashback) Dora
    What are you trying to do?
[14:49] (Flashback) Uri
    I'm going to intervene in the battle.
[14:51] (Flashback) Dora
    Intervene?!
[14:52] (Flashback) Shima
    Even if you're an Eto-shin, doin'
    somethin' that crazy will mess you up!
[14:55] (Flashback) Uri
    Still!
[14:57] (Flashback) Uri
    Nya-tan is my friend.
[14:58] (Flashback) Uri
    I can't just keep watching this!
[15:08] (Flashback) Chu
    You will exist no more!
[15:12] (Flashback) Nya
    Uri-tan!
[15:15] (Flashback) Uri
    Thank you for waiting.
[15:17] (Flashback) Uri
    Here's the cake you ordered, yep, yep.
[15:19] (Flashback) Takeru
    "Yep, yep"?
[15:24] (Flashback) Takeru
    Reincarnated?
[15:25] (Flashback) Uri
    Yes. Even if we die,
[15:27] (Flashback) Uri
    we reincarnate after a
    certain amount of time.
[15:31] (Flashback) Takeru
    What kind of system is that?
[15:32] (Flashback) Nya
    Exactly that kind of system, apparently.
[15:34] (Flashback) Usa
    It's the UTC,
[15:36] (Flashback) Usa
    Usa-tan Company's helicopter!
[15:39] (Flashback) Takeru

[15:51] Takeru
    Is Usa-tan Company really that amazing?
[15:55] Shar
    Oh, didn't you notice?
[15:57] Takeru
    Notice what?
[15:58] Shar
    All of these belong to the Usa-tan Group.
SIGN    All There Is to Know About Sesame Oil
[16:02] Takeru
    Huh?! That's what "UTC" was?
[16:05] Shar
    But as long as I follow the basic rules,
[16:07] Shar
    it may be a good time to sell.
[16:09] Takeru
    You own UTC stock?
[16:12] Shar
    I just sold it.
[16:13] Takeru
    Seriously?!

    Oh, right! You're the one I've heard of!
[16:54] (Flashback) Nya
    The one causing havoc everywhere right now,
[16:57] (Flashback) Nya
    the divine cold virus!
[16:59] (Flashback) Nya
    Wait! Cut it out already!
[17:01] (Flashback) Virus
    I'm sorry!
[17:09] (Flashback) Shima
    A kick-the-can battle.
[17:17] (Flashback) Shima
    At this rate, Chu-tan really will beat you!
[17:21] (Flashback) Shima
    Hurry up and surrender, Nya-tan.
[17:24] (Flashback) Shima
    Come with me to train and
    start over from scratch!
[17:27] (Flashback) Nya
    No!
[17:33] (Flashback) Nya
    Takeru produces such amazing
[17:37] (Flashback) Nya
    Sol/Lull because he is who he is!
[17:39] (Flashback) Nya
    I've forgotten a lot of things.
[17:41] (Flashback) Nya
    I don't even remember why I wanted to
[17:44] (Flashback) Nya
    join the zodiac in the first place, but—
[17:49] (Flashback) Nya
    Wh-When I'm with Takeru,
[17:52] (Flashback) Nya
    sesame oil tastes better,
[17:54] (Flashback) Nya
    hot baths feel nicer,
[17:56] (Flashback) Nya
    and breakfast and trips out of the
    house and everything else is fun!
[18:00] (Flashback) Nya
    It's because Takeru is with me
[18:02] (Flashback) Nya
    that I can give all I've got to making my
    dream of joining the zodiac come true!
[18:06] (Flashback) Nya
    He's not a battery!
[18:08] (Flashback) Nya
    I can believe that because he's Takeru!
SIGN    Cat
[18:50] Takeru
    Nya-tan's gotten stronger, huh?
[18:53] Shar
    You've been watching her, I see.
[18:54] Shar
    I believe Nya-tan trusts you.
[18:56] Takeru
    Trusts me? You think so?
[18:59] Shar
    By becoming involved with a human like you,
[19:02] Shar
    Nya-tan changed.
[19:04] Shar
    You changed, as well.
[19:07] Shar
    Lives change by becoming
    involved with other lives.
[19:11] Shar
    But those changes
[19:13] Shar
    may not always be for the better.
[19:18] Takeru
    Looks like we're done with the review.
[19:20] Shar
    Yes.
[19:21] Takeru
    Um... And the antidote...?
[19:23] Shar
    It wasn't here, it seems.
[19:25] Takeru
    You didn't even look for it, did you?
[19:28] Shar
    Let's search there next.
[19:38] Takeru
    What is this?
[19:40] Shar
    This is Nya-tan's shrine.
[19:42] Takeru
    What? This place?
[19:44] Shar
    It must be because her soul
    hasn't completely regenerated.
[19:49] Shar
    Oh?
[19:50] Takeru
    Sol/Lull? No, it's not...
[19:53] Takeru
    Nya-tan's... memories?
[19:56] Takeru
    What does this mean?
[19:58] Takeru
    If we take these back to Nya-tan,
[20:01] Takeru
    will she remember more?
[20:03] Shar
    Why would you make her remember?
[20:06] Shar
    Something sad may have happened.
[20:08] Shar
    Do you want to have a part in
    the things she's sealed away?
[20:13] Takeru
    I'm not a god or an Eto-musume,
[20:15] Takeru
    so maybe it's strange for me to say...
[20:18] Takeru
    But I'm the one able to support
    Nya-tan the most right now,
[20:21] Takeru
    aren't I?
[20:23] Shar
    When on a journey, everyone
    experiences meetings,
[20:26] Shar
    partings, and lessons.
[20:29] Shar
    And they halt the train at the stop
    they've found just for themselves.
[20:32] Shar
    I only wanted to see what stop
    you would find, Takeru.
[20:37] Takeru
    I want to see all of Nya-tan's
    memories here before I go back.
[20:41] Shar
    That's not possible.
[20:42] Shar
    This place will soon disappear.
[20:45] Takeru
    What?
[20:49] Voice
    Shar-tan's special curry is done.
[20:53] Shar
    It's finally finished.
[20:55] ---
    
[20:58] Takeru
    Wow. Looks tasty.
[21:00] Shar
    This curry is the antidote.
[21:02] Takeru
    You're kidding me!
[21:03] Shar
    It needs plenty of time to cook
    in order to undo petrification.
[21:07] Shar
    Oh... The bay leaves you
    grew are in it, too.
[21:10] Shar
    They should actually be removed
    before the roux goes in.
[21:13] Takeru
    Wait, you're not saying this whole journey
[21:15] Takeru
    was to kill time while the
    curry cooked, are you?
[21:19] Shar
    That may be, or it may not be.
SIGN    Stupid Outie
[21:25] Kid

    Oh, right.
SIGN    Snake
[21:34] Shar
    Here.
[21:35] Takeru
    Your Sol/Lull Seal?
[21:38] Shar
    A commemorative stamp.
[21:41] Shar
    Eat up.
[21:45] Nya
    Hot! That's hot!
[21:49] Nya
    It burned my tongue...
[21:50] Takeru
    Oh, good... You're back.
[21:52] Nya
    What happened?
[21:53] Takeru
    Look, Shar-tan gave me her Sol/Lull Seal.
[21:54] Shar
    Takeru...
[21:56] Shar
    If anyone can touch the
[21:56] Nya
    Seriously?! Why?!
[21:58] Nya
    Lucky! Give it to me, Takeru!
[21:59] Shar
    cat and rat's relationship, perhaps it's you...
[22:00] Takeru
    Hey, calm down a little. And no.
[22:02] Nya
    Don't say that!
SIGN    Next Time
[23:35] Shar
    The fortune for those of you born
    in the year of the snake...
[23:38] Shar
    Oh. There isn't one, really.
[23:39] Takeru
    Huh?
[23:40] Shar
    Your lucky item is a molted snakeskin.
[23:42] Shar
    Hang on. I'll take mine off.
[23:44] Takeru
    Whoa! Wait!
[23:45] Shar
    Just kidding.
[23:46] Takeru
    Next time: An Equestrian Fit for a Cat.
