Okage Chapter 2: Enter the Pink Hero and her Parasol
Okage Chapter 2 is under the cut! The usual warning and disclaimers apply. There are some odd typos in this chapter, but I've kept them as they are in the game, rather than fix them.
Okage Chapter 2: Enter the Pink Hero and Her Parasol
*After Ari leaves home to go subjugate the Fake Evil Kings as per Stan’s orders *
Tenel:
Stan: What’s the “Map o’Evil Kings” say?
That’s where we are headed for the time being.
What’s wrong with you,
slave Ari?
You still need
something from this pathetic village?
Julia: So you’re some macho tough guy,
now? You’re going further and
further away from my ideal.
I see what you’re trying to tell me.
You never really cared
about me. I was right to
say good-bye to you.
…
Bucher Fatty’s:
Butcher: Hey! Ari!
What’s happened to your adventure?
You’re homesick already?
Loitering Villager: Ahhhh,
it’s so good to have the bar open.
Hi, Ari,
you gonna go travelling?
When you come back,
bring back some
exciting stories!
Scared Guy: I’m really scared!
You know why?
In Madril, an Evil King’s appeared
in the underground waterway!
It’s causing all kinds of trouble!
Seriously scary!
Blacksmith’s:
Blacksmith Shop Owner: Hey Ari.
You’re setting off
for an adventure, huh?
Adventure always comes with danger.
There’ll be time when you need
to pick up your weapon and fight.
Whenever you acquire a strong
weapon, come drop by.
No, come see me immediately!
Ahhh, I need to train for combat.
That’s what I yearn for!
Bakery:
Bakery Woman: Oh dear! A gap has formed
in the stone bread oven
while we were closed!
Oh, Ari, I hear that
you’re off to travel.
Remember this.
A man should act with dignity!
Keep your chin up!
*The Bakery Woman has her eye
on the “Mere Pebble” which
Ari has! *
Bakery Woman: What? From your grandma?
This pebble for me?
*Ari has relinquished
the “Mere Pebble”!
Gave it to the Bakery Woman!*
Bakery Woman: Great, it fits in the gap perfectly!
Your grandma, she seems
senile, but she’s far from it.
She’s a mystery.
To show my thanks.
Take this.
*Ari has acquired “Bread Crust”!*
Bakery Man: I see, so you’re off to travel…
The little miss will miss you a lot.
Okay, here’s some advice from me.
Alright?
When you want to “show” somebody
what you have…
You need to “use” that
item you have
in front of that person.
Or else they won’t know what
you’re carrying.
Gulp Inn:
Gulp Inn Hostess: Phew, finally the Ringmaster’s left.
It’s a long way to his circus,
poor thing.
You didn’t know? The circus tent
is located way south of here.
Villager in Trouble: I’m really glad the water’s running now.
The trouble’s over, now.
Eh? I still look troubled?
But I was born this way.
Grrr.
Gossip Girl: Heh-heh.
I bet you could hear everything!
Say, do you wanna hang out
with me?
Pudgy Boy: Hey Ari!
You’re going off on a trip!
You look like you’ve changed some.
Don’t worry about Annie while you’re
away. She’ll be in good hands!
Count on me, brother-in-law!
Elder’s House:
Daughter of the Elder: Oh Grandpa,
talking about a secret society.
He’s like a little kid.
Elder: By the way,
don’t enter the room upstairs.
My granddaughter’s asleep there.
Let her rest.
Local Goof Off: Hey, you’re awesome!
You’re setting off
to travel soon, right?
On an adventure around the world!
Geez, look at me.
I ask a girl from work for a date,
and she tells me “Your Classification
is Class Lazy, Goof Off Type”.
No respect…(sigh).
Village Office:
Serious Looking Clerk: I get more work done
when the Manager’s not around.
Busy, busy, busy.
Competent Looking Clerk: This is strange.
A new “Classification List” has just
arrived today from Royal City, but…
Ari, your name is not
anywhere on the list!
You weren’t on the list
from the start.
Or is it that weird shadow of yours?
…I haven’t a clue.
This is just not right!
This doesn’t make sense!
Nameless Dwelling:
Annie: Oh, you’re back Ari.
You forget something?
Ari
how do you like travelling?
Find somebody you love?
Remember to give the
”Old Music Box” to somebody
you like! Good luck, Ari!
Grandfather: Ari.
Don’t forget.
While travelling the world
search for the parts of
the “Voice Recorder”.
I strongly suspect it is a
very important device.
I can’t help thinking that.
Grandmother: Uh huh, uh huh...
That’s right, honey.
Father: Oh, welcome back son.
This is good timing.
Look at this pen stand.
Isn’t it cool?
According to folklore, the ancient…
Namely, the ears of a bunny are…
…and created a newsletter…
…and…. thus…
Isn’t it unbelievable?
Mother: Oh boy. Welcome back Ari.
So, adventuring is fun isn’t it?
Next time bring back a
cute significant other that
you find on the journey home.
Circus Grounds:
Suspicious Guy: …Humph.
Congratulations. You’ve passed!
From now on, you are a member of
the “World Crypto Organization”.
The World Crypto Organization is
a great organization.
It “searches for the world’s
secrets through cyphers”.
We are playing…I mean studying
the creation and
decoding of cyphers.
Now we give you, the newcomer
the following command.
The cipher indicates a location
somewhere in Madril.
*Ari acquired “Cyphertext 2”! *
Suspicious Guy: Decode this one, newcomer.
You must live up to
the group’s expectations!
Cyphertext 2: “5:ownha
1:Knockth
4:sideoft
3:nthe
6:llofth
2:reetimeso
7:emachines.
*There is a glowing green Stone Circle on the circus grounds. Ari is transported to an outcropping surrounded by water, upon which are five other Stone Circles *
Woman in Black: Welcome to the Isle of
Wap-Wap (in monotone).
Also known as “Traveler’s Island”,
it connects to all over the world
from this stele (in monotone).
If you are to continue to travel,
you will have to frequent
this place (in monotone).
See you again,
if fate allows (in monotone).
The Island’s open to all
the world’s travellers (in monotone).
They can use the Island at any time,
in any situation,
as they see fit (in monotone).
On the road to Madril:
Wandering Painter: Hmmm. Drawing the landscape
around this river is pretty hard.
No, this perspective doesn’t work.
Oh no! I tried to erase it
with my finger and the canvas
became completely black.
Bread Crust is the best for erasing a
charcoal drawing…but I don’t have…
*The Wandering Painter has
his eye on the “Bread Crust” that
Ari has!*
Wandering Painter: Well, it’s Bread Crust.
Are you giving it to me?
Ari: Responses: -Give it to him.
-Don’t give it to him.
-Think about it more.
Wandering Painter: Thanks.
In return, I’ll give you
this Worn Brush.
*Ari has acquired “Worn Brush”!*
Wandering Painter: I travel all over the world
while painting.
This world is beautiful and peculiar,
and filled with surprises.
*As Ari goes to cross the bridge, a ghost appears in front of him *
Stan: Oh, here are some low class
evil beings like the ones in the
church I smashed for you.
But slave,
you should improve your skills.
Now slave, destroy the one there.
A true servant of mine should be
able to this easily. Now go!
Ghost: Boo…Boo…
*another ghosts appears behind Ari! He is cornered between the two ghosts!*
Ari: Responses: -Apologize profusely.
-Start some friendly banter.
-Give up.
*Ari fully apologized! That didn’t work at all! *
*As the ghosts advance upon Ari, a swordswoman runs up, destroying both ghosts with a single stab of her rapier*
Mysterious Woman: Wait a minute!
Haaaa!
*Now the threat is gone, the woman approaches Ari *
Mysterious Woman: Phew.
Recently, there are so many cruddy
ghosts around. Are you okay?
Ari: Responses: -Thank you!
-Wow, you’re cool.
-Wanna have a cup of tea with me?
Mysterious Woman: Don’t just be impressed like that.
What an optimistic attitude!
Don’t walk around here
so vulnerable like that!
In addition,
you don’t even have a weapon…
I can’t believe it!
Hold on a sec!
Here, take this!
Fight against ghosts with this!
It’s a cheapie, but it’s
better than nothing!
*Ari acquired “Leftover Sword”!
Mysterious Woman: You are a boy, you should
not be such a sissy.
Okay? You got it?
Ari: Responses: -Thank you!
-Um…Can I have your name…
-You are pretty.
Mysterious Woman: Oh no! It’s already late!
I have to go now or he will…
I gotta go!
Ari: Responses: -Um, can I have your name…
-Um, can I have your dimensions…
-Goodbye.
Mysterious Woman: Pull yourself together, young boy!
See ya!
*The woman walks off *
Stan: Damn, I didn’t have time to appear.
By the way, what was it anyway!
You are a pathetic thing, slave.
Two lowly beings show up and
you cower like a troll.
Then you were saved by some
passing woman!
Oh well. Be grateful that my evil
hand is merciful to my servants.
I may render aid from time to time.
But you must still become stronger!
Discipline yourself by giving these
lower evil beings a thrashing!
We will have issues if you can’t
protect yourself. Don’t forget that
your shadow is important to me now!
Who is that woman on the bridge?
She blew in like she’s a
hero or something.
Whatever. Let her run off those
thighs. We have to get going.
Traveler: I saw it!
At the shore of a lake
further down south!
Soldiers were walking in line
guarding some incredible beauty!
She must be a Princess!
*There is a Strange Guy blocking the bridge Ari needs to cross to get to Madril *
Strange Guy: ……..
…….
……..
………..
…….
…Huh?
What? I am making an extremely
important observation now.
Do not disturb me.
……
……
…Hmm.
My past calculations projected that
my present calculations would show…
Nothing…! Huh? What is it?
Ari: Responses: -Excuse me?
-What are you observing?
-Have you taken root here?
Strange Guy: …Huh? What is it?
Uh-huh. You want to know who I am?
Ari: Responses: -Yes, please.
-Not really.
-I want to know when you’ll move.
Strange Guy: I am the famous ghost expert,
Gutten Kisling!!
My hobby is clipping toe nails.
Stan: Well, you have guts to speak your
name aloud in my presence.
I am Evil King Stan,
the lord of darkness & evil.
How do you do.
My hobbies are world conquest and
the harassment of fake Evil Kings.
Humph, see the difference.
I am a superior class of being.
Now get out of my way!
Kisling:…Ha, you’re still green.
A person like you who tells stale
jokes to any passerby wouldn’t
understand. My main concern is…
to construct a new paradigm by
hypothesizing the dichotomy
of the light wave/particle…
relationships to supradimensional
non-corporeal malicious existence
exuding into the observable planes…
And how it permeates corporeal ideas
of positive and negative morality and
its numerous permutations, through…
Ari: Responses: -Th, that’s enough.
-…I see!
-See the results of dictionary abuse.
Stan: Arrggh! No scientific babble!
Just get out of my way!
And take your theories with you!
Kisling: …based on that theory, in order to
establish a feasible hypotheses
to plot empirical data we must…
The retreating figure in the drizzling
rain, on a dark and cold road and
other metaphysical metaphors…
bending time and reality!
And there you have it!!
Cool, awesome, right on!
Gutten Kisling, that’s me!
Ha ha ha. So long!
Stan: ……
…….
*Kisling walks off *
Mysterious Woman: I am a mysterious woman.
I use mysterious words and
deal in mysterious arts.
Currently in Madril
there are two gangs.
There are involved in a terrible
conflict!
Please! Don’t go! It’s dangerous!
You are going anyway, aren’t you!
Oh no!
Signpost: Go no further west. Scary
ghost hangout in “Big Tree Hole”.
