Ruby Ep. 2: Ruby's Preference
You help Ruby finish up the costume alterations, but just when you think it's done, Ruby still doesn't seem satisfied with them. What could the issue be?
Player
Ruby, can I help you hem the skirts?
Ruby
No, I couldn't keep you so late.
Player
But you're staying late, too. It'll be faster if we work together.
Ruby
Thanks.
Player
Don't worry about it. I want to see everyone in the best costumes on stage, too. Now, if we're making it shorter, can I just cut it?
Ruby
Wait, we have to fold and iron the cloth to the point we want to hem it to.
[Fade in/out.]
Player
All done!
Ruby
Thanks for helping me.
Player
You're welcome. You helped me through most of it, though. Now I'm a lot better at hemming!
Player
You must feel great about how the costumes look now, right?
Ruby
Hmm…
Player
What, is something still bothering you?
Ruby
Actually, there's one more thing I wanted to adjust. We're not going to have to cut and sew or anything, though.
Ruby
I wanted to make something to accent it, like special accessories customized for everyone.
Player
Accessories? That sounds good. Everyone will look pretty with some jewelry shining in the spotlight!
Ruby
Yeah. I tried going to a bunch of craft stores, but I couldn't find anything.
Player
Did you try anywhere outside of Numazu?
Ruby
No, I'm scared to go too far. I looked up some places, but when it came down to it, I couldn't bring myself to go.
Player
Really. It takes courage to go somewhere new, huh?
Player
All right. How about we go together? Then we can split the fear of a new place in half!
Ruby
Are you sure? I don't want to make you work any more than I already have, though. You already helped me so much hemming the skirts.
Player
Oh, don't worry about it. I'm sure god made me forget my CD here so that I'd come back just to help you.
Player
Plus, after hearing all this I really want to see these costumes finished.
Player
So if it's not too much trouble for you, I'd like to tag along until the end.
Ruby
Okay. That'd be great.
Player
Yeah, it will be!
Ruby
I'm so happy! I've been wanting to make accessories for a while!
Player
Where should we go? What about the stores you looked up? Oh, before that, we have to decide what to make.
Ruby
How about brooches? Accessories on the upper body are easy to see, and they won't impede on dancing at all!
Player
That's a great idea! Brooches it is then! Let's make them great.
