001 | Intro [Accidental Video]

[createswithink]

[The scene shows forest-covered valleys on one side, a picturesque ancient Japanese village on the other, and clear skies all around. A gentle breeze rustles the nearby plum trees; pink petals scatter lazily in the air. A blank scroll is spread out on a patch of grass, and a glowing green ‘bug’ jumps up and down around the paper

Ahahaha! It would seem this amusing nexus has decided to interrupt your work.

[createswithink]

I know that! Now, how do I get my painting back?

You didn't have anything to do--[Sees a gorgeous woman with sun-colored hair.]...Uh, I bet someone's just playing a joke. No need to worry about me, Lady!

[truthingold]

If it's a joke, it's a highly amusing one.

[createswithink]

Aaaand if the joke's on me, I'm glad that I got a laugh out of you!

...What makes you think it's not a joke?

[truthingold]

I believe parts of it are. This community exists to entertain by preying on the amusing misfortune of others.

[createswithink]

You gotta be pretty optimistic to get laughter out of the worst of situations!....And it's always good to laugh at yourself once in a while. [Mumbles.] S'pose I could just draw another valley.

I sure hope that this community has more amusement than misfortune, Miss...um...? Whatdijasayyournameswas?

[truthingold]

Hmmm, is there something that requires amusement and misfortune to be mutually exclusive?

I am Beatrice, the Golden Witch, master of Rokkenjima's night and a witch of Endless power.

[createswithink]

I guess it depends on the person.

That's an interesting title there, Miss Bey-a-...Bee-ah..[Fails at strange name.]..Oneesan.

I was about to ask what a Rokkenjima is, but don't worry about explainin' to me! [Waiiit for it.]

Okay, what's a Rokkenjima?

[truthingold]

How amusing, how amusing! The answer is simple: it's an island, my home territory.

[createswithink]

[He's not sure what's amusing, but he's happy when she smiles.]

A whole island as your home? I hope you don't get lonely.

[truthingold]

[MOSTLY THE WAY HE SAID HE DIDN'T NEED TO KNOW AND THEN ASKED. Silly Issun]

With this nexus in my grasp, boredom and loneliness are hardly concerns anymore.

[createswithink]

Remedy to boredom and solitude; sounds like this Duckie is a good thing overall. Everyone else seemed to be bothered by it.

[truthingold]

Only because they are far too closed-minded to appreciate what this place has to offer.

[createswithink]

That's a shame. It's good to keep an open mind, but sometimes hard to do so. I can understand.

[truthingold]

If only fools would realize they should be making the most out of this gift, not shunning it.

[createswithink]

Yeah that's right, Oneesan! This opportunity should be embraced!
