Ai Ep. 24: Expand Your Imagination!
The theme for the Tabletop Game Club's movie is a Japanese-style romantic horror! A suspicious shadow sneaks into the peaceful village and chaos ensues! You and Ai decide to read the screenplay to write the perfect signature song.
Ai
Hey, listen up! I got a hold of the screenplay!
Player
Really?! Now we'll finally unravel the village's mystery!
Ai
*Chuckle* Looks like you're way more into this screenplay than I am!
Player
Come on, it's just like you said! I'm just dying to find out what happens next.
Ai
Oh yeah, for sure. It was all about love and peace at the beginning, but now I'm like, so scared of seeing that all fall apart…
Player
Exactly. The fact that what's normal has stopped being normal, and strange things are becoming the norm… It's just… You know?
Ai
Super scary, right? But the continuation of the story should solve a bunch of things! Let's get reading!
Player
Yeah!
[Fade in/out.]
Ai
Hey… Have you finished reading?
Player
I'm done. I haven't processed any of it yet, though…
Ai
Yeah, same…
Ai
Uh, do high schoolers write things like this?
Ai
It's pretty iffy whether things got sorted out in the end, you know what I mean?
Ai
I just felt so sorry for that vampire princess who was the final boss. You can't blame her, no matter how far she took things…
Ai
Hmm… I think I like the vampire princess the most.
Player
Me too. You know what? Maybe the vampire princess is the actual protagonist for this story.
Player
I mean…
[Fade in/out.]
Ai
Yeah, you might be right. Now that I think about it, that first scene is setting it all up… OHHHH! It all makes sense now!
Player
Then the theme for the song should focus on the vampire princess.
Ai
Uh-huh, I agree. I'll ask everyone in the Tabletop Game Club if we're all on the same page with our understanding of the story, just in case.
Ai
But, if we have it right… There's something I'm reeeeeeally worried about.
Player
What's that?
Ai
How exactly would a heartbroken, hopeless vampire princess sing?
Ai
I don't have a single ounce of that vampiric allure…
| Option 1: “Well…” |
|---|
| Player W-Well… Ai See?! I knew you'd think that too! Player I know what to do. Let's start with writing the lyrics first this time. I think we'll be able to pour our emotions directly into it that way. We can do this, Ai! Ai Urk… Ai Okay! I'll take the leap of faith! |
| Option 2: “Allure, huh?” |
| Player Allure, huh? Ai Hey, don't stare at me like that. I know the truth without needing you to spell it out for me… Player I know what to do. Let's start with writing the lyrics first this time. I think we'll be able to pour our emotions directly into it that way. We can do this, Ai! Ai Urk… Ai Okay! I'll take the leap of faith! |
