First Note [Action]

[markedviolin]

[There's just been a bunch of recently plugged-in games lately, hasn't there? One of the newest arrivals wandering around Game Central Station is this lovely lady. She hasn't been used much yet--after all, when a rhythm game has competition like DDR, it's not going to see much use starting out!

Of course, with such a big area, she's looking a little lost... Maybe she could use your help?]

Oh! Another rhythm game playable character...! I'm from Rhythm Thief. We were plugged in just last week, but I haven't ventured over this way until now...

[Hey, friends are always great!] My name is Marie. What's yours?

[kigaru]

[Shinta is so happy! The last guy he talked to was from an action game - man! He's so happy!]
I am Shinta Kikuchi, Marie-san! [He's bowing so much.] I came in today, so I have not heard of your game! But, it sounds fun! Unless you are really stealing rhythm.

[markedviolin]

No, no! Of course not! The main hero happens to be a thief and he makes use of an excellent sense of rhythm. Then again, excellent senses of rhythm are rather commonplace in my game.

Though, I suppose that would make sense, wouldn't it... [She laughs a bit.] It's a pleasure to meet you.

[kigaru]

No, no! In my game, us Ouendan must keep our sense of rhythm, or we cannot encourage the people we are meant to assist!
[...It doesn't make sense.]
Well, I suppose it is the players keeping their rhythm. I am Easy-Mode, so it is easier for I then my workmates and boss. It is... it is so nice to meet you, too! I was worried people would not befriend me, since my game is not in English...

[markedviolin]

[That's okay, half the stuff in her game doesn't make sense either.] In my game, nearly everything is based in rhythm...!

Just because your game isn't in English doesn't mean others shouldn't befriend you... How much have you seen of this area so far?

[kigaru]

Wooow! Maybe we should go there one night! [Shinta said, bowing once more.]
Oh, well, Sayonji-sempai said if we couldn't speak English, people would not like us here, because they would not understand us. But he is mean sometimes.

...I have not seen much, though! There is so much to see and look for, I did not know where to start!

[markedviolin]

Well, surely there would be people who could break the language barrier, so to speak...

Perhaps we should look around together? The more the merrier, as they say.

[kigaru]

O-Osu! [That's a yes, as Shinta stands up straight, looking derpy but serious. He'll encourage you to find places, and junk!]

[markedviolin]

[Encouragement is always good!] Let's go, then! Which way should we go first?

[kigaru]

[Shinta closes his eyes...]
That way! North!
[And offers out his hand.]

[markedviolin]

[And she'll gladly take that hand! Off they go~]
