Mari #68: Heart-Pounding Cruise
Player
Whoa, what a big ship. Is this what we're taking our lunch cruise on?
Mari
You got it! Now, here's your ticket! Let's go!
Player
I-I can really go on that ship?!
Mari
You sure can! Come on, you don't want to waste the ticket Papa gave you, do you? Let's go!
[Fade in/out.]
Player
(It looked really impressive outside, but it's super fancy on the inside, too. Gaaah.)
Mari
You okay? You're not seasick, are you?
Player
N-No, I'm fine!
Mari
Just relax, relax! If you're all stiff, you won't be able to taste the food!
Mari
Ah, the hors d'oeuvres​ are here.
Player
Wow, it looks so good! And it's presented so well! I almost feel bad about eating it.
Mari
Oh? Well, if you're going to be like that, should I help myself to your dish?
Option 1: “Maybe one piece of cheese!” |

Player Huh?! W-Well, maybe one piece of cheese! Mari Ahaha, I'm kidding. Now, let's eat up. |
Option 2: “N-No!” |
Player Huh?! N-No, don't… Mari You're wide open! This slice of ham is mine! |
[Fade in/out.]
Player
Wow! It's just sea in every direction! And the breeze feels great, too!
Mari
An everlasting blue sky! What perfect cruising weather!
Player
You're right about that. Thanks so much for inviting me today, Mari. The food was amazing, and the scenery is just so beautiful.
Mari
*Giggle* You're totally smiling now. Did the tension leave since you're full?
Player
Urgh. Well, that's probably true.
Mari
You were shivering like crazy before you got on board, too. And I remember you freaking out about what you should wear and worrying about seeming awkward. You were totally crying!
Player
B-But, I mean… Cruising's got this really-high class image, and I'd just make trouble for you if I did something out of ignorance!
Mari
That's what was going through your head?
Mari
We're friends, so you can take it a lot easier!
Player
I-I'll do my best!
Mari
Though it is pretty fun loosening that delicate heart of yours by whatever means necessary!
Player
Huh? Did you say something?
Mari
Nope, not a thing. Look, there's gulls flying!
Player
Where? Oh, there they are! Heyyy! Seagulls! Wonder if I can get a picture. Let me put my phone in camera mode, and… Hmm, I guess they won't stop for me.
Mari
Then how about you take a picture of us in front of the gulls? This day will be the anniversary of our first lunch cruise!
Player
Sure! Then let me change the camera direction, and… All right, here goes.
Mari
You've got to get closer to get into the frame. In close, like this!
Player
Guh! M-Mari, that's too tight! I can't push the button!
Mari
I'll push it for you. All right, smile! Say cheese!
