Dies Irae Switch Version Countdown (Tl'd by ZackZeal)

Reinhard:
"Brothers and sisters, what if I told you your entire life had been decided by fate? That victors were born for glory; that the defeated live only to serve? You live your life as it had been decided in advance, always reaching the same finale, unable to diverge, no matter what. What if I told you the universe was woven from such a cruel fabric?
I wonder how many among you experienced déjà vu from this oration of mine? In other words, I'm asking how many among you know of me?
Well, if you do not know me, no matter. I am not dready enough a man to torment newcomers.
That said, complete ignorance can bring upon problems. You should investigate the words "Dies Irae Pantheon" to some rudimentary extent.
Therein lies the cause for which we fight, the banner under which we gather.
Should you research into the gist of things,  you may inquire more deeply into my person. I do not mind.
Having come this far, our stories will one day surely mingle. Henceforth, the order of things matters not.
My life has already reached its end, and yet here I stand once again upon the stage. I will no doubt have you lend me your strength to overcome this peculiar situation.
So when the time comes, remember this:
I love all of creation.
Now then... How was it? Have you experienced that déjà vu...?"

Mercurius:
"Aaah, indeed. I see. My dear companion has already handled introductions.
You, and you, and you, as well. Such a gathering of familiar faces. Did you long to see me again that much?
Truly, to have such one-sided emotion directed at me can be unpleasant, but... it does save me the trouble of explaining things.
As you surely already know, this world is one where Gods subrogate one another. In other words, multiple gods fundamentally cannot coexist in the same age.
However, it seems that rule has since crumbled... Or perhaps there was some truth we were unaware of at work.
Either way, things being as they are, individuals who could never meet one another have all gathered in one place. Fascinating, is it not?
But being reunited with my beloved goddess is all I could ask for... I do intend to do anything she would wish for."

Marie:
"Hello! Do you all know who I am? Or is this our first meeting?
I think the others already explained this, but we've all finished our roles and retired. But for some reason, we've all been gathered here.
We're all anxious because we don't know how or why it happened, and we have this bad feeling about this... so we all discussed how we should approach this.
Well, it wasn't a very peaceful discussion... But that's probably to be expected, since they're all so distinctive people. Poor Ren had the worst of it, too.
So I would be really happy if you could find out what happened to us, and what's going to happen from now on.
No... I believe you deserve to know."

Ren:
"I swear, what kind of fucked up karma brought this on...
Not only do I have to meet these guys I never wanted to see again, I have to be acquainted with people who are just as annoying. And cooperate with all of them, on top of everything? This is some kind of bullying, I tell you. There's no way we could ever unite and work together.
But Marie looks resolved, and I did agree to this to begin with... Now that things have come down to this, it'd be convenient to stick around, for the sake of keeping watch over everything...
Aaah, sorry. This all turned into me bitching. Not that I'm trying to whine or anything, but I'd be happy if you understood my position in this whole mess.
Seriously, there isn't a single normal person here. In more ways than one, it's a gathering of bitter enemies.
And don't you dare say this looks like it'll be fun. I'm sure you won't be this complacent soon enough. So you better prepare yourselves. Having other other worldly-wise people on my side would be a bit comforting, you know?"

Hajun:
"Shut up... Be quiet... Stop spouting your pointless bullshit... All I want is to be alone... All I need to be complete is myself... so I don't need anything but myself...
I thought I had finally found true peace, but what the hell happened to me...?
Buzz off already... You stink, you little shits... Why do you touch me...?!
I need to cleanse myself... But I can't be bothered with you... I'll give you my shit, so you little shits can kill each other like the shits you are...
HAHAHAHA! SO THAT'S WHERE YOU WERE, YOU PIECES OF TRASH! DON'T CLING TO MY BODY, DON'T CRAWL OVER ME, DON'T TOUCH ME, STOP SQUEALING, YOU STINK YOU STINK YOU STINK YOU STINKKKKK!!!"
