Saiyuki: Festival

Jan 05, 2009 18:05

At Goku's first festival, he tries to get Sanzo to win him a prize at the shooting game. And Hakkai gets a tiny bit... obsessive... about the goldfish catching

SotoNote: There are two conversations going on simultaneously, so I put Sanzo and Goku's (quieter in the background) in small text. Hopefully I closed all my tags (^_^;;


(Festival noises: drums beating, crowds murmuring, workers crying ‘welcome!’)
[Goku]: Wow! What is this? It’s kinda amazing!
[Hakkai]: (chuckles) This is your first festival, isn’t it Goku?
[Goku]: Yeah
[Gojyo]: Oh, then let me teach you the festival tricks. Festivals mean picking up chicks. And that means - ack!
(Pa! Sanzo’s fan hits Gojyo)
[Gojyo]: Ow!
[Sanzo]: So your head is in a festival 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
[Gojyo]: … Oh yeah! Festivals are a man’s life!
[Hakkai]: (chuckles)
[Goku]: Hey, hey, Hakkai! What’s that?
[Hakkai]: Ah, that’s the shooting game. You aim for the prize you want and shoot it with a pistol
[Goku]: Hmmmmmm…
[Sanzo]: No
[Goku]: Wh-what? I haven’t even said anything yet!
[Sanzo]: I said no
[Goku]: Wha- (sighs) (calculatingly) That’s okay… I doubt Sanzo could do it anyway. He always misses
[Sanzo]: Nn! ……. Did you say something?
[Goku]: Not really…
[Sanzo]: ‘Ch. Come!
(he stalks off)
[Goku]: Heh, got ‘im
(he follows Sanzo)
[Gojyo]: Sheesh. I can’t tell who the real brat is
[Sanzo]: Old man. Gimme 10 rounds
[Hakkai]: (chuckles) Oh, what’s wrong with that?
[Worker]: Sure thing. You’re sure determined, aren’t you guy
[Goku]: Sanzo, aim for that one! That one!
[Sanzo]: Be quiet. I’m concentrating
[Gojyo]: (stretches) Ah well, I guess that’s what a festival’s all about
(Pop! goes the toy gun)
[Worker]: Ah, you just missed it
[Hakkai]: That it is… Oh!
[Gojyo]: Huh?
[Goku]: Sanzo! Not that one, that one I said!
[Hakkai]: Goldfish catching…
[Sanzo]: Shut up!
(Pop! goes the toy gun)
[Worker]: Once again, nice try
[Gojyo]: Oh! I remember that! I’m really good at it
[Goku]: Aw man, you really suck at this
[Worker]: Oh, why don’t you give it a shot too?
[Hakkai]: Is that so? I’m rather good at it, myself
[Sanzo]: Shut up. I’ll show you…!
(Sanzo shoots in rapid succession)
[Goku]: S-Sanzo?
[Gojyo]: Oh, now you’re insulting the great Gojyo. Goldfish catching and picking up chicks use the same tricks. There’s no one who can beat me! Oh, that one, that one. You catch ‘em with that wafer-cup thing, yeah?
[Worker]: Wow, man that’s amazing (laughs)
[Hakkai]: That is unorthodox
[Gojyo]: … What?
[Hakkai]: Listen. Goldfish catching must be done with the paper pasted on the circular frame. There is no other way
[Gojyo]: Wha, uh, um…
[Hakkai]: Thinking that a wafer cup is strong against water is the belief of an amateur. It will quickly suck up water and become heavy, and that is no condition to catch goldfish in!
[Gojyo]: Hakkai…?
[Hakkai]: Endurance. This is definitely a vital point. There endurance of the paper once it is soaked in water… that is something to pay close attention to. With just a little consideration from the person using it, that paper frame can become the best net in the world…
[Gojyo]: … ummm…
[Hakkai]: Red goldfish leaping atop a silver-white net… Seeing them like that is like seeing a charming painting…! That’s right. Achieving that goal should be the sole purpose in mind when catching goldfish…
[Goku]: Hey! Hakkai! Gojyo! Help us out here!
[Gojyo]: Woah woah woah, Haka - Hakkai! Look, Goku needs help
[Hakkai]: What?
[Gojyo]: Ahh, with Sanzo’s arm, everything at the shooting game is tempting
[Goku]: Man, Sanzo’s really no goo - ow!
(He gets hit)
[Sanzo]: Shut up. I’m concentrating
[Hakkai]: Ah, well, I suppose that’s true
[Gojyo]: Ahh, man, festivals sure are great!
[Goku]: What’s your problem? You’re just really bad at this, Sanzo
[Sanzo]: Huh?
[Goku]: If you’re gonna keep missing, let me shoot!
[Hakkai]: Yes, they are. There aren’t many chances to come into contact with a goldfish catching champion, after all
[Gojyo]: (laughs nervously)
[Sanzo]: It’ll be the end of the world when a monkey shoots a gun!
[Goku]: It should already be the end since a Sanzo priest is shooting!
[Gojyo]: Aw, come on. Wait, how many shots’ve you guys done?
[Goku]: But Sanzo sucks so bad!
[Sanzo]: Do you want to die right here and now?
[Hakkai]: Sanzo… This… Do you plan to seriously attempt to take military control, rather than play a shooting game? If we had only used this money on goldfish catching…
[Goku]: Ah, I knew it, this isn’t normal shooting!
[Sanzo]: ‘ch…. Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
(Sanzo emphasizes his words with shots from his real gun)
[Worker]: Uh, hey, sir! P-please stop using real bullets…
END.
