Mari #181: Party Manners
[Fade in/out.]
Player
I-Is this the right place? It is…right? Where's Mari?
Mari
Hello! Welcome! Thanks for coming all this way.
Player
Hey Mar… Whoooa! Mari, you look gorgeous!
Mari
Really? Thank you! I chose my favorite dress today since you were coming to my party, too. You look different from usual as well!
| Option 1: “Well, it's a party!” |
|---|
| Player W-Well, a party's a big deal! I can't just show up in my regular clothes. This might be a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Mari *Chuckle* It's not really a big deal. It's just a casual garden party with some close friends and family, so there's no need to be nervous. |
| Option 2: “I got a new outfit just for today.” |
| Player I actually bought a new outfit just for today. This is my first time ever picking out an outfit to wear at a party… Do I look okay? Mari That outfit really suits you! *Chuckle* It makes me happy that you went through all that effort. But you can relax now. Just sit back and enjoy yourself. |
Player
G-Got it!
Mari
Do you want something to drink? There's still a little time left until the party…
Mari
Oh, it looks like some other guests have arrived. I'm gonna pop over to greet them.
Player
Huh? Oh, uh, M-Mari!
Mari
Hello! Thanks for coming today! I'm so happy you're here.
Mari
Ah! It's so nice to see you again. I am glad you are all looking well. Yes, both my parents and I are fine as usual.
Player
Oh jeez… Oh man…
[Fade in/out.]
Mari
Ahhh, there you are! I thought you got yourself lost somewhere! What are you doing hiding out in this little corner?
Player
It's just… I don't think I fit in. Everyone here looks so glamorous!
Mari
You don't stick out in a bad way at all! You look absolutely fabulous today!
Mari
You always look great, but today you're particularly shiny! You're shining so brightly that even the sun is no match for you.
Player
R-Really?
Mari
Totally. Even if your table manners are a little off or if you accidentally take somebody else's glass or plate, your shiny power will get you through this!
Player
Wait, what?! There are table manners I need to remember?! I don't know the right order for the knives and forks or any of that stuff!
Mari
Don't worry! You shouldn't forget that you have me with you. I'll be there to back you up if anything happens.
Mari
Now let's stand tall, get out there, and have some fun!
Player
Mari! Thanks. You're right. I wanna have fun here with you too.
Mari
Yeah, that's the spirit! The winners in life are the ones who enjoy themselves! That's just the way the world works, right?
Player
Pretty sure that's not how it works in the slightest.
Mari
Oh, don't be like that. Come on, everyone's here now so I'm gonna get the party started. Pick up your glass.
Player
Okay!
Mari
Let's party until the sun comes up! Cheers!
