I. INTRODUCTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     As you probably already know, this is a FAQ for the confession booth that
gets built in your ship. It describes how to get it, the question's Keen asks,
and the confessions of each of the characters. Why would I write a FAQ on it?
Because I and many other people find this confession room incredibly amusing.
Some people may not have the time to sit there and go through all of the 
confessions, though, or may not be sure which confession belongs to which 
character. This is where the FAQ comes in.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. GETTING THE CONFESSION ROOM
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     To have the confession room built on your ship you need only do one thing,
and that is to recruit Keen. To get Keen you must simple bring Sigurd with you
to Middleport when you try to recruit them to your cause, or anytime afterwards.
Keen will be standing in a corner in the left on the dock screen. Speak to him
with Sigurd in your party and they will have a conversation and then Keen will
leave. After you finish your business in town go back to your ship and take
Sigurd out of your party. Re-enter Middleport and Keen should be in the same
spot and when spoken to he'll say that he'll join your group for 10,000 potch.
Pay up and he'll join. Once he joins you'll be able to find the confession
room on the 4th Deck in the back left.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. KEEN'S QUESTIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Keen welcomes and asks a series of questions to each person whom enters 
the room. He asks the same questions to each person, there is no variation, 
and they are as follows:

Question #1 : Would you secretly inform me about anyone on board this ship 
              who you think is causing problems?
Question #2 : Then, would you tell me what you think of (Hero)?
Question #3 : Finally, quietly confess the things you wish to atone for, or 
              all the things that you are thankful for.

After all of Keen's questions he gives you the choice on whether you find them
guilty or not.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. CHARACTER CONFESSIONS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The confessions of each character will be located in this section. They
will be listed in alphabetical order so it will be easy to search through and
locate the characters you wish to read. The format will be as follows:

+Character Name+
     - Reply to Question #1. (Questions are in Section III. for reference.)
     - Reply to Question #2. (Questions are in Section III. for reference.)
     - Reply to Question #3. (Questions are in Section III. for reference.)

And without further ado, let's hear some of these confessions...

----------------------------------------------------------------
Complete: 36

+Akaghi+
     - L-Let me think... like Mr. Ramada and Mizuki? Aren't those two afraid 
       of Mr. Cray? They cut their ties without a second thought... I'm worried
       to death that people are going to come after us.
     - That Rune... I don't want to be anywhere near it! But... I already said
       I'd lend a helping hand so that things would come to that...
     - ... The weapon I have is something Mr. Ramada gave me, but actually, I'm
       supposed to have one in each hand. But I lost one of them, WHen I told 
       Mr. Ramada, "It's easier to just use one." he replied, "I see." I'm sure
       Mr. Ramada definitely knows that I actually lost it. I still feel bad 
       about what I did.


+Aldo+
     - Ted... I think... I mean, he could be a little more friendly... with
       everyone. It's not like I'm saying this to badmouth him, it was just
       something that came to my attention...
     - Well, he's my lifesaver for taking me in when I was lost, so...
       I'm really grateful for him.
     - Something I want to atone for? I don't have anything, I don't think...
       Not right now.


+Axel+
     - That darn elf! Actually, it's no big deal. I-I don't think there's
       anyone in particular that I can't handle.
     - I don't know, he seems a little reserved. He could be more of a
       "take charge" kind of person.
     - Well... the other day, I was half asleep... and I grabbed onto
       Chiepoo thinking he was the blanket. I never thought he'd feel so
       good... but now, I feel so awful thinking about it.


+Bang+
     - Hmm? Well... I'm not really keen about Nay-Kobolds. My nose just gets
       really itchy when I breathe in their fur... I have nothing against them,
       but...
     - Oh... he's a funny person. He stares intently at the ball coming out 
       when playing the lottery. His eyes are just so serious...
     - Every so often, there are times when I only have white balls in there 
       for the lottery. Well, it won't be a problem as long as no one finds
       out, right?


+Bartholomew+
     - Why do you ask me that?
     - He is a man with a big heart to look after someone like me... heh...
       or maybe he's just eccentric.
     - I am grateful for all of this... if something happens to me... I intend 
       to leave this place before something that I may regret happens...


+Breck+
     - Oh, now that you mention it... there's a real annoying one...
       keeps yapping at me about taking a bath and stuff... my hygeine
       is my own damn business!!
     - Well, from Jango's perpective, he's probably a good underling. So, that
       means he's my underling too! See?!
     - What's that all about? Who do you think you're talking to, eh?


+Champo+
     - Problems? What... is that?
     - Mr. (Hero)? I know! He's Mr. Chiepoo's underling!
     - ... I don't really get it, but I'm not apologizing! Nalkul told me
       that you've lost if you apologize!


+Charlemagne+
     - Well, now, someone causing a problem? I do not wish to make such 
       backstabbing comments.
     - Ah, Mr. (Hero).... He is a wonderful person.
     - I was allowed on board this ship. How could I possible not be grateful
       for that!


+Desmond+
     - Someone as insignificant as I should not be commenting about such 
       things.
     - W-well... he has a tough job, but he does it without a word of 
       complaint, so I think he is amazing!
     - Well, everyone has worked equally hard so that we can live in comfort, 
       so... it is not really an apology, but I am always grateful, yes.


+Etienne+
     - Mr. Micky... He stated he would take care of the young Master, but he 
       barely works, just standing idly, I cannot condone that.
     - Sir (Hero)... he should show more compassion towards the young Master.
     - Currently... I am struggling to produce a more pleasant timbre. I am 
       hopeful that everyone's souls will be soothed by my performances.


+Funghi+
     - Oh... I suppose there is something I want to say to Mr. Konrad. He 
       always complains about my cooking. He says my cooking is too salty...
       I don't think that's true...
     - Oh, (Hero)? Hmmm... I think he must have it tough. He's been forced to
       carry all sorts of burdens.... even back when they were Knights, he
       stayed alone in some weird room, instead of at the dormitory... I
       wonder if that's what you call bad luck...
     - My expertise is cooking up tasty dishes! That's about it, I can't 
       express it in words.


+Gau+
     - Uga?
     - Ugaaaa!! Ugaaaaaaaa!! (Hero)! Strong!!
     - Uga?


+Jango+ 
     - Eh? Hmm... you know... that guy! That Desmond guy! He's always looking 
       at me like he's scared of me or something... I've seen mice braver than 
       him!
     - Eh? (Hero)? Well, he's not bad, I guess... I think he could make a 
       decent pirate. Hey, that just gave me an idea... it wouldn't be bad to 
       make him my underling, too! Hehehe...
     - Huh? Apologize? Me? Who do you think you're talking to?


+Jewel+
     - What? Someone problematic? Let me think... I know... the King of Obel!
       It's like, are you sure a king like that is acceptable? Do you ever
       wonder about that? Other than that, there's Ms. Elenor... because,
       you know, she always looks like she's angry, you know? Oh, there's
       also... (Keen interrupts) What? Aren't you going to let me finish?
     - Oh, (Hero)! Yeah, he's strong! But, he must be having a tough time in
       all sorts of ways...
     - Hmmm... something for me to be remorseful for? ... There isn't anything
       I can think of!!


+Katarina+
     - ...
     - When the Commander... of the Gaien Knights passed away... I could
       only... condemn (Hero)... even though the COmmander's death was not
       any fault of his... I just... I just wanted to turn my hatred against
       someone.
     - Glen, who was Commander of the Gaien Knights, is my... father... but 
       even the Commander himself did not know that he had a daughter by my 
       late mother... I had thought I would find the right opportunity to tell
       him of this... but it never came to pass... but it doesn't matter now.
       He'd surely be angered by a Vice Commander who only looks back on the
       past. From now on, I would like to be as much help to everyone as I
       can possibly be...


+Kate+
     - ...
     - ...
     - ...


+Lilin+
     - I don't really know. They're all good people.
     - He is a very good person.
     - I want to find my older sisters. I want them to get rid of the bad
       guys so we can hurry up and look for them.


+Lilon+
     - I don't know...
     - He let me on this ship. He let me see Lilin.
     - ...? What's atone?


+Lo Hak+
     - Let's see... I know! Him! Igor! We were managing the hot spring on
       Mordo in his place, but he actually got mad at us for some reason!
       And he's still holding a grudge now... Man, I wish something could
       be done about it, if I knew what it was.
     - Oh, The great leader of the (Army). He's fine! He's okay with me!
     - Huh? Apologize? Thank? Those words are just a tad outside my
       realm.


+Manu+
     - I hate people who use the stairs. If they didn't use them, maybe
       they'd appreciate the elevator more.
     - Well, he's a good person, don't you think?
     - Just the fact the he understands my research is wonderful. For now,
       I am satisfied just being given the privelege to build an elevator
       on the ship.


+Mitsuba+
     - I don't know... they're all good people.
     - (Hero)? Let me think... I had my guard down the other day, so I 
       carelessly lost, but I'd like to play with him again?
     - Hahahaha! Let's see... some time ago, Mr. Reinhold was reading
       something that looked like a letter, behind a building or something.
       I just happened to pass by, out of sheer coincidence, but... ever 
       since then, he apparently thinks that I "saw" that letter! And he
       does anything I tell him to. Man... hahahaha! This is a bad thing
       isn't it? But Mr. Reinhold is just so gullible! Hahahahaha!!!


+Nalleo+
     - Hmm... Daddy, I think... Oh! This is just between us, right? Daddy...
       pilfered a broiled fish again the other day and ate it at  night... 
       *sigh*
     - He's what I aspire to be! I want to become a strong pirate like Mr. 
       (Hero) in the future, too.
     - I still can't handle a sword properly, and I can't use magice well, 
       either... so I can't fight with everyone. I want to apologize to 
       everybody. I want to say that I'm sorry I'm not strong.


+Oleg+
     - On this ship? I would say that King of Obel... he's a bit of a
       cheapskate. No, really...
     - He seems to have understood my research. Such people make me 
       happy, yes.
     - Let me think... I would be thankful if this conflict settles
       down soon.


+Ornan+
     - Mr. Desmond, I suppose... he seems to have taken an interest in Ms. 
       Louise,but... She seems rather bothered by it.
     - Hmm... I think he is trying his hardest. That's about it. There's 
       nothing that I particulary like or dislike.
     - ... If more people come join us. I think I may be able to get some 
       information about the woman I'm looking for as well. Yes... I would
       be thankful if everyone tried a little bit harder to help...


+Paula+
     - Th-Then, confidentially speaking... if I had to single someone out,
       it would be Mr. Chiepoo, I suppose... it seems when he is aboard the
       ship, all he ever does is either sleep or eat. Is that acceptable?
     - He is one of us.
     - Let me think... I suppose I must become even stronger. At this rate, I
       will end up being a liability to (Hero)... that is my worry.


+Perrault+
     - People with problems? I-if there's anyone like that, let me know right
       away! I'm hurting for good topics lately, so please!
     - (Hero)? The leader of the (Ship)... originally a Gaien Knight...
       wait, wait... that's not what you meant, right?
     - Let me think...... I was writing a novel in the newspaper and I got
       criticized by everyone for it...... that was depressing...


+Phil+
     - Mr. Tov, maybe? I work in the same room as him, but... he never responds
       to me. Even when I try talking to him. On top of that, he sometimes
       comes back with a response to it the day after or so... when I think of 
       how he might have spent all that time thinking of a response... it sort 
       of gets to me a little, too.
     - Hmm... I guess I'd like him to make more clothes. However, I do know how 
       much hard work it takes to gather the materials, let alone put them 
       together...
     - Once before, when I asked for a scale from Lilin, she got really mad at 
       me... since then she's refused to speak to me. Later, I heard that Lilin 
       and the others had been treated horribly by humans... I feel bad for 
       what she went through. I wish I could... talk to her and reconcile our 
       differences.


+Rakghi+
     - I'll tell you who... Ms. Louise. Ms. Louise was pulling out pieces
       of paper from the comment box and reading them! I think it was
       very wrong to do!
     - Yes, he's definately the leader of this ship!
     - My mother is always saying, "Let us be thankful for being 
       allowed on board this ship." So, I am grateful!


+Rene+
     - Ms. Louise... she says to come have fun at the saloon more often...
       but I didn't get on this ship to have fun or anything... still, I
       feel bad about refusing her offer. I'm in a bit of a bind.
     - Mr. (Hero)? I would like to go treasure hunting more often with him!
     - Um... I don't really have anything to say right now.


+Setsu+
     - On this ship? In that case, that would be Master Tov. To position that
       young man with the Rune so close to His Majesty's room... Just what is
       he thinking?!
     - I think he is a good young man, but... that is... if only he did not 
       have that rune.
     - His Majesty is always telling me that I am annoying him... if caring
       about him is such an annoyance to him, then he'll just have to put up
       with my pestering ways!


+Shiramine+
     - Hmmm... Sir (Hero), perhaps? THat man... I think he may be working
       himself too hard.
     - As I said earlier, perhaps he works too much... well, I'm not saying
       that it's necessarily a bad thing, but...
     - Hmm... Ugetsu... I am able to tell myself that I still have far to go
       because of him. I am grateful that I am able to spend my days on board
       this ship with him!


+Ted+
     - That's none of my concern... nor is it yours...
     - Well... he's doing quite all right, isn't he?
     - Nothing in particular... as long as no one bothers me, I'm fine.


+Tal+
     - Let's see... well, there's Chiepoo... he sells other people's stuff,
       you know.
     - Well, honestly, I think he's amazing. He's doing things I could never 
       do. But, despite all of that... I'm a better fisherman than he is!
       Heh, heh, heh!!
     - Hmm, let's see... with (Hero)... I haven't been able to help him much.
       I've been working hard, but recently, we've been getting strong 
       allies... I just hope I'm not becoming a burden.


+Tanya+
     - Uh, Ms. Agnes, I suppose? I don't think anything particular of her,
       but she seems to hate me. SHe should just tell me whatever it is
       that she wants to say to me... that is what I think.
     - Oh, Sir (Hero)? ... Nothing in particular. I would be happy if he
       brings the Old Books to me. That's about all, I think.
     - I am grateful for being allowed to store so many books. But, if I had
       more space, I would be able to store even more books!


+Tov+
     - ... No one should speak of such things.
     - I believe he is a man undetaking an incredible endeavor.
     - This ship... it seems it has a room that did not exist when it was 
       designed. I am most sorry about that.


+Yu+
     - Let me think... there are some among my patients, but... I cannot speak
       of my patients in a place like this. It's a doctor's obligation.
     - He may be pushing himself a little too hard... I think he should rest 
       his body more. It is not because he has the rune, but rather that
       he is working a bit too much.
     - Everyone has been good to me. And the Obel King is also a kind man,
       you know?
