Mao's Battlebook: Entry 001 [voice/action]

[disasterroar]

[Mao is currently standing outside of the city hall, looking slightly confused. What is this place? How did he get here? ...He remembers founding a music box, but that’s it.

Not to mention, that this place is just weird. There’s no Gajumas around and it doesn’t even look like any city Mao has ever seen in Karegia.

But if it’s not Karegia, then where

[voice] 'sup. this is so late ahsjgh

[fonicpuppeteer]

I guess you're another new arrival, huh?

[voice]

[fonicpuppeteer]

Hmmm, maybe.

I think the only reason we're here is 'cause of that music box. Maybe it's cursed, or something!

[voice]

[disasterroar]

Cursed... A curse of spirit of Splendor maybe? ...But who knows, maybe the city is alive and it dragged us hear by its own! [Oddly enough, he looks quite amused with that idea.]

[voice]

[fonicpuppeteer]

It probably is! A lot of people talk about the city like it's a person, or something.

... Maybe it's just lonely.

[voice]

[disasterroar]

...Maybe.

But then what about the Locals? You think they're like... ghosts or something?

[voice]

[fonicpuppeteer]

Maybe they're ...

... ghosts of all the people that died when the city brought them here! And we'll end up Locals, too, if we stay here too long! [ She realizes she's spewing nonsense, of course. ]

[voice]

[disasterroar]

[It's totally fine with Mao! He'll just play along~]

You're probably right! And that means... we're all doomed! [If Anise could see his face, she would obviously notice he's smiling all the time while saying this.] But who knows, maybe something even worse will happen to us...?

[voice]

[fonicpuppeteer]

[ She is having fun with this!

And a gasp. ] Even worse?! What could be worse than being Locals, stuck here forever?!

[voice]

[disasterroar]

Ah, you don't know~? [Pauses for a moment, like he's think whether to tell her or not.] But, maybe it'd be better to not know? Even thinking about it is scary~

[voice]

[fonicpuppeteer]

[ Now you're just making her even more interested! ]

Whoa, whoa, what is it?!

[voice]

[disasterroar]

...Are you sure you want to know?

[voice]

[fonicpuppeteer]

Yeah, definitely! I have to know!

[voice]

[disasterroar]

...But still, I'm not sure if I should tell you this. You know, this is something really, really terrifying~

[voice]

[fonicpuppeteer]

[ She hesitates for a moment -- but only a moment! She really wants to know this now! ]

Really?! What is it! I can take it!

[voice]

[disasterroar]

Alright, alright. I'll tell you, but... [He pauses, then speaks a bit quieter.] not through the seal.

[voice]

[fonicpuppeteer]

[ A blink.

And she speaks a little quieter, too. She's really into this. ]

Where can you tell me, then?
