Karin #250: Once I Put on the Dress
Player
That art exhibition was so amazing… Karin, thank you for inviting me!
Karin
Oh no, it was my pleasure! It was my first time going to a European art exhibition, too.
Player
Really? And here you had me thinking going to art museums was your hobby.
Karin
No, not at all. Actually, our little excursion was inspired by You.
Player
It was?
Karin
She's been reading a lot of books on the history of fashion lately, right? I saw the outfits in those paintings and got really curious about them.
Karin
I started to wonder what type of historical clothing would look good on me…or if I'd look really weird if I wore them nowadays.
Karin
Do you remember how I asked you at the museum about which outfits would look good on me?
Player
Oh, that's right, you did! Now I'm really interested in all the clothes we saw in the paintings too.
Karin
*Giggle* Up 'til now I just thought of them as pictures from some faraway country long ago, but because of You, I feel much closer to them!
Player
You're right. And I bet we can use them as inspiration for future performances too.
Karin
I think…you said you were interested in the coronation painting, right?
Player
Yeah. Everyone was wearing such elaborate costumes in this really solemn atmosphere. But what left the biggest impression was all the guests' happy faces.
Player
I guess they were all overjoyed with the birth of their new king?
Karin
Hmm, I see. A coronation…
Karin
Hey, what would you do if I were a princess?
Karin
I'd live as a princess in one of those huge castles with tons of history. Ooh, and I might even attend a coronation, too!
Player
If you were a princess?
Karin
Is it weird to think about stuff like this? I like imagining myself dressed up in a beautiful gown… Oh, but it might not look very good on me.
| Option 1: “I think it'd look perfect!” |
|---|
| Player No way! You're so mature, I'm positive an elegant dress like that would look amazing on you. You'd make a perfect princess. Karin What? Do you really see me that way? Player I'd be more than okay with a princess like you, Karin. |
| Option 2: “Want to try one on sometime?” |
| Player Instead of wondering, why don't you just try one on sometime? Karin Oh my. You say that as if I could just casually try one on. Player I'm pretty sure you're the type who won't be satisfied until she sees it with her own eyes, even though I know you'll look great in it. Karin *Giggle* You know me so well. In that case, we'll just have to come up with an opportunity to play dress-up. |
Player
I'm positive you'll look great, so I do wish you didn't feel so anxious about it.
Karin
You're that confident?
Player
I am! I'd even wager this milk tea I'm drinking now on it.
Karin
Thank you. Even if it's just flattery, I'm very pleased.
Karin
Although I'd be even more pleased if it weren't flattery.
Player
Hmm? Did you say something?
Karin
Nope, nothing at all! If you don't finish that milk tea fast, I'm gonna snatch it from you!
