Mari Ep. 19: Boost the Stage Production Too!
The stage production will be tweaked to match the choreography thanks to Riko's suggestion. You and the other members struggle to think of how to do this, but despite the stress, Mari is full of ideas that light the way.
Player
Hello.
Riko
Oh… Hello. Is it that time already?
Player
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Mari
Howdy! You're both early too, huh!
Yoshiko
The fallen angel Yohane descends! Today, I shall continue my quest to bring humanity down!
Riko
We can talk about bringing humanity down later. Right now there's something I want to talk to you all about.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
You want to change the theme of the live show?
Riko
Mari really brought up the quality of the choreography, right? It's livelier now, and it feels cooler, and even more mysterious in a Guilty Kiss way.
Riko
But I feel like that makes the rest of the production look lackluster in comparison. That's why I think we need to make some adjustments to match the choreography.
Player
I understand. You want the song, choreography, and stage production to all match so that you can give the best live show you can.
Riko
I wonder what would be the best way to change it. We still have some time to think before the show itself, but we can't afford to linger over it.
Player
You could try changing the color of the lighting. Though that ties into the song concept…
Yoshiko
No need to worry! I will receive an idea most fitting from the netherworld's undulations and solve our problem in a flash! Deities of music, heed my call!
Riko
I'd rather you called on the deities of stage production.
Mari
You don't need to think about it that hard.
| Option 1: “Why, do you have an idea?” |
|---|
| Player Why, do you have an idea, Mari? Mari I said as much earlier, didn't I? You have to put more of what you love into something if you want to make it great. That's how I whipped our choreography into shape! |
| Option 2: “But this is pretty important…” |
| Player Uh, but this is pretty important… We should give it some serious thought. Mari You said as much yourself. If you want to give the best live show that you can, then make sure that the song, choreography, and stage production all match. |
Mari
If the choreography is more dynamic now, then you can change other things so that they match.
Mari
Like, for example… Bam! A shower of petals from the sky!
Riko
A shower of petals? You want us to make it rain flowers?
Mari
Yes! Roses, gerbera daisies, carnations, whatever! Just make sure there are lots of different kinds! And pour them all down like WHOOSH in a big cascade!
Mari
Petals would work, or just having whole flowers rain down on us could be fun too! Ooh, and speaking of raining down… What about fireworks?!
Yoshiko
Fireworks?!
Mari
We could make one of the biggest flowers of all bloom in the night sky, then rain light down! We could fire off so many we wouldn't even need to light up the venue!
Mari
If we're gonna use fire, then I feel like we should use water too. Fountains! Waterfalls! We can have a shining, splashing paradise to go with the lighting! Fantastic!
Player
This is starting to feel less and less like a live show…
Riko
That's way too over the top! And besides, this live show is being held indoors. We can't have any fireworks displays.
Mari
Oh, is that right? Sparklers it is, then.
Riko
Mari, I swear… *Chuckle* Ahahaha!
Yoshiko
As expected of my little demon Mari! You are truly one of my highest-ranked minions when it comes to being outrageous!
Mari
It's quite the honor to receive such praise, Mistress Yohane! All right, then let's choose what sparklers to use! I have my eye on—
Riko
Wait a moment! No one said we were going to use sparklers!
Yoshiko
And if something must rain down upon us, let it be feathers! Black ones!
Mari
Whaaaat?! You don't want to use multicolored feathers? Like a rainbow!
Player
(Everyone was so stressed out, but Mari managed to change the mood completely. She's got a special talent for getting people around her to cheer up and have fun.)
