Hanamaru Ep. 14: Selecting the Script's Theme
Now that you've experienced all the themes on offer, it's time to choose which one to write about. What will Hanamaru pick?
Player
There, now you've gotten to experience all three of the themes. Which do you think would be easiest to write about, Hanamaru?
Hanamaru
Well…
Shizuku
Go ahead, don't be shy. I'm sure whichever theme you choose will make for a beautiful script.
Ruby
Mystery, adventure or romance… I wonder how those stories would turn out if Hanamaru wrote them!
Hanamaru
…
Player
Did none of those themes spark any inspiration…?
Hanamaru
N-No, they did, zura! That's not it. It's just that they all seem so interesting…
Player
So then…you want to write them all? Wow! So all three of them resonated with you, huh?!
Hanamaru
Yeah. When we first brought up the themes, they all seemed like really distant worlds to me. I couldn't picture myself writing about them, so it was really scary.
Hanamaru
Thanks to all my experiences with you guys, though, I feel like those worlds are well within my grasp now.
Hanamaru
Now I'm full of ideas to write about all three of them!
Shizuku
Hanamaru…! I am so, so pleased to hear that!
Ruby
You only need to write one script though, don't you? You'll have to narrow it down to one theme to focus on…
Hanamaru
That's true. Which should I pick?
Player
Hmm. Why don't you just incorporate all three themes into one story?
Shizuku
Oh, that's a splendid idea! Stories usually are composed of several intertwined components, it's true.
Shizuku
You'll need to choose one theme to serve as the linchpin for the plot, but there's no reason you can't add in other elements as well. You should write all you wish to write!
Hanamaru
It's really okay to write about all of them, zura?!
Player
A story with mystery, adventure, and romance sounds like an incredible story to me!
Ruby
I want to read it right away! Though it's a play, so I guess I want to see it right away…? Either way, I'm excited!
Player
I'll help you out with the writing part too, Hanamaru. Let me know if you need me to find you any references or anything.
Ruby
I'll help too! Let's do this together, Hanamaru!
Hanamaru
Thanks, both of you. I'm gonna get this play written, zura!
Shizuku
Thank you so much, Hanamaru. Now, let's discuss the finer points of our agreement—your deadlines and so on. Writing, of course, is essentially data entry—
Together
What?
Shizuku
Is something wrong?
Hanamaru
Data…
Shizuku
Well, yes. I'd like you to e-mail your first draft to me upon completion.
Player
Guess we'll have to review her PC skills first…
Hanamaru
Zuraaa!
