Ruby Ep. 1: After-School Secret

One day, you forget something in the Uranohoshi clubroom. When you go back to get it, you find Ruby working by herself, even as the sun sets outside.

Player

(The CD I just bought isn't in my bag. I think I left it in the CD player in the club room after listening to it with everyone.)

Player

(What should I do? Everyone is gone and the door is probably locked.)

Player

Wait, the light is on in the clubroom.

[Fade in/out.]

Ruby

Eeek?!

Player

Ruby?

Ruby

Wh-What are you doing here? I thought you went home!

Player

I forgot something. My CD… Oh, here it is! I knew it was here.

Ruby

Oh, you found it! That's good.

Option 1: “What about you?”

Player

What about you? What are you doing here all alone?

Ruby

Me?! I, umm. I forgot something, too.

Option 2: “Aren't you going home?”

Player

Aren't you going home? It's already dark outside.

Ruby

Oh, umm. I'll be here for a bit! I have, uhh, some…last-minute work to finish up for class.

Player

What's that behind your back?

Ruby

Nothing!

Player

Hmph.
…Oh hey, a UFO!

Ruby

What, where?!

Player

Fell for it!

Ruby

Ahh! No, that's not fair!

Player

Sewing stuff and…stage costumes? I thought you already finished this stuff. Do you need to work on it more?

Ruby

Well, I did finish it, but there was something bothering me that I wanted to fix.

Player

I think it's perfect, but what do you need to fix?

Ruby

I wanted to make the skirts a little shorter.

Ruby

The skirts will flutter more when we turn and be cuter that way.

Player

And you're going to do that for all nine members' skirts?

Ruby

Yeah. I only realized I wanted to change the length after I finished.

Player

Wait, have you done this before?

Ruby

Yeah. Costumes are important to the group, so I want to fix even the smallest detail to make everyone more appealing.

Ruby

If it looks like it's going to be a big adjustment, I always talk to everyone about it first.

Ruby

I thought I could handle it by myself, so I decided to sneak in here and finish it.

Player

I see. Well, it's not like you're completely redesigning it. They probably won't even notice.

Player

(Ruby has been adjusting Aqours' costumes up to the last minute this whole time.)

Player

(No one even compliments her on her work, but still… Ruby puts her heart and soul into Aqours' costumes.)
