Mari Ep. 23: At the Aquarium with Mari and Shioriko

What kind of training does Mari do to pull off great performances? You head over with Shioriko to see Mari with high hopes, but where does she end up taking you?

Mari

Today you're gonna have fun with me at Mito Sea!

Mari

You two have come all the way here so I gotta make sure we make some fun memories for you! Come on! The ticket window is over here!

Shioriko

Um… So does this mean I will be learning how to give a good performance…at the aquarium?

Player

I-I'm sure she's got some kind of plan! Let's go, Shioriko!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

It's a walrus! And it's huge!

Shioriko

Indeed, it is. I can't believe I get to see it so up close.

Mari

Its scraggly whiskers are just so cute! Oh, we locked eyes! Hello, little walrus! How are you?

Shioriko

I don't think it understands what you're saying…

[Fade in/out.]

Mari

Here's the section where they display all the fishies.

Shioriko

Wow! This is a massive viewing tank and it's filled with all sorts of fish!

Mari

It gets you all excited because it's like you're getting a peek inside the ocean, right? Can you tell which breeds of fish are in here?

Player

Um, uh…

Shioriko

There's a panel here with information about the fish, including their names. It's quite informative.

Mari

Nooo! You can't look at that, Shioriko! That's cheating!

[Fade in/out.]

Mari

Here's our next spot. It's one of the recommended attractions at this aquarium—the jellyfish kaleidoscope!

Shioriko

I see that it's a water tank filled with only jellyfish, just as its name suggests. It's also lit up and looks absolutely stunning.

Player

Watching the jellyfish sure is relaxing.

Mari

The way they sway and float is so soothing. I wish I could set up a jellyfish tank at home.

[Fade in/out.]

Shioriko

There's a dolphin statue here. The view is great and I'm sure that it would make for an excellent photo opportunity.

Mari

Let's take a photo to remember the moment! Okay, you two, smile!

Option 1: “Is my pose all blurry?”

Player

Yaaay! Wait, is my pose all blurry?

Mari

BAHAHAHAHAHA! You're all blurry and your eyes are half-open!

Option 2: “You snapped the shot too quickly!”

Player

M-Mari! You snapped the shot too quickly! I totally wasn't ready at all.

Mari

There's nothing wrong with that! I snapped a candid photo of you.

Shioriko

*Giggle*

Mari

Are you having fun, Shioriko?

Shioriko

Yes. I was confused at first, but I'm sure that learning about the environment Mari was brought up in and where she spent her time will be beneficial to me.

Mari

You really are always so serious, Shioriko. That's precisely why…

Shioriko

Precisely why what?

Mari

Never mind, it's nothing. Let's go see the penguins next! Oh, but first! The dolphin show!
