[Route 29] Video/Action - Violet City

[dreamsofahero]

*So, what happens when a king, a mage, and a swordswoman return to the city after spending the afternoon on a pleasant dango picnic in a nearby meadow, only to find the aftermath of a half-baked Rocket scheme? Well, they are very, very confused, for one thing...*

Ah, it seems we've missed some some excitement... I don't suppose anyone could explain what happened here?

*And so we have one curious but confused king seeing if anyone else on the network knows what's going on :|a*

[looking around]

Whatever happened, it wasn't anything good.

[gee, thanks, Captain Obvious...]

[dreamsofahero]

Well, hopefully someone will know something about it.

[tearsofademon]

Hopefully. Ahh, I'm glad we missed out on something bothersome like this...

[dreamsofahero]

I hope everyone's all right, though...

[tearsofademon]

Yeah...

[toneless]

[GASPING]

What if something happened to the dango shop...!?

[dreamsofahero]

Perhaps we should go through the whole city to ascertain the extent of the damage...

[toneless]

... I suppose, given your current lack of subordinates, someone must do the deed.

[dreamsofahero]

Oh? But I can't trust just anyone to such an important task...

[toneless]

[...]

You owe me dango for this.

[dreamsofahero]

I'll leave the sector with the shop to you, then.

*is half-expecting her to just charge anything she buys to his name, anyway*

[toneless]

As long as Ryner does his fair share.

[By which she means more than her.

... And yeah, she's going to do just that.]

[dreamsofahero]

You think I would let him get away with any less?

[toneless]

Of course not. He does need the exercise, after all.

[dreamsofahero]

Indeed he does.

[toneless]

We wouldn't want his bones to turn to dust. Then he would eventually die and maggots would devour his body.

[dreamsofahero]

It would be terribly unfortunate to lose such a good source of labor, yes.

[toneless]

And then he wouldn't be able to buy me dango anymore.

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, that would be a tragedy indeed, wouldn't it?

Voice

[burntforhersins]

[A shocked gasp is his only response from this end for a long moment.]

When you find out, let me know. ...Please.

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, certainly.

Are you here in Violet City as well...?

[burntforhersins]

I was heading there. But now I'm not sure if I should go on or go back.

[dreamsofahero]

Well, it doesn't look like there's anything that would cause lasting damage, at least.

[burntforhersins]

You should be careful. Whatever caused it might still be around...

[dreamsofahero]

Don't worry, we'll keep an eye out.

[burntforhersins]

O-ok!

Is anyone hurt?

[dreamsofahero]

There doesn't seem to be so far, no, but we haven't had a chance to investigate the city yet.

Sorry for lateness! My computer died.

[burntforhersins]

I... hope that everyone's alright.

[A beat. Right. Politeness.]

Who are you?

It's fine~

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, my name's Sion Astal.

[burntforhersins]

Sion... Astal? What language is that?

[dreamsofahero]

Ah, the language of my world, I suppose.

[burntforhersins]

It doesn't sound like any language I've ever heard. ...But then I don't know many languages.

[dreamsofahero]

I hear that the people brought here are from all kinds of different worlds, so it would make sense if they have different languages, as well.

[burntforhersins]

True... Thinking about it, it's odd that I understand everyone here.

[dreamsofahero]

Though that's hardly the only odd thing about this place, really...

[burntforhersins]

Oh, I know... but it's the oddest part of it, as far as I've seen.
