Mari #859: Mari's Hina Dolls

Mari

Welcome, welcome! Thanks so much for coming today.

Player

The pleasure is all mine. I've been looking forward to helping with the Hina doll decorations.

Mari

I'm glad to hear. Time to get those dolls ready!

Player

Yeah. Let's make some beautiful Hina dolls!

Mari

Well, we should start with altar assembly so the dolls have somewhere to go when they're ready.

Player

Sounds good! Uh, there's a lot of boxes in here. Where are the altars exactly…?

Mari

The altars are in the boxes over there. The dolls and accessories are in the boxes over here!

Player

Okay, let's just get all the pieces out of the box…ngh…

Mari

Wow! Seven-tiered altars don't mess around. Each part is HUGE!

Mari

Not to mention heavy. Nff…hrg!

Option 1: “Need help?”

Player

Need help? This thing is heavy, so we should probably carry it together.

Mari

Thanks! My arms were starting to hurt.

Option 2: “Slow down, Mari.”

Player

Slow down, Mari. You could hurt yourself. Let's carry it together.

Mari

Oh yeah, true. I'd be in trouble if I lost my balance.

Player

Okay, I'll take this side, so you take the other.

Mari

Gotcha! Now to put all this stuff together!

[Fade in/out.]

Player

Phew. All done with the altar.

Mari

Yep, now for the final boss… Decorating the Hina dolls!

Player

Okay! Umm…where should I start? There's so many dolls and accessories to choose from.

Mari

People usually work their way down from the top.

Mari

That way, you can drop a doll or accessory without damaging any decorations below.

Player

Makes sense. Okay, I'm ready whenever you are.

Mari

Mhm! Lemme just get the empress and emperor dolls out of the box. There!

Mari

Wow! They're beautiful!

Mari

I love the empress' kimono! It's so sparkly!

Player

Whoa, the empress' fan and all these accessories are so detailed. You can really tell how much skill went into making them.

Mari

Hey, did you know that these Hina doll decorations represent a wish for a happy wedding? That's why people put them up every year.

Player

I had no idea. Well, since I'm putting them up right now, I'd better start wishing.

Mari

Not without me, you won’t! Let's see… I wish for happiness with you!
