All right, I'd like to kick off this meeting to discuss the play that will be Hanamaru's playwright and actress debut!
|
 Hanamaru |
Th-This is a temporary thing, zura! 1 +
|
 Shizuku |
Hanamaru, thank you for deciding to do this. Let's put on a great show together! 2
|
 Ruby |
I'll do anything I can to help you, Hanamaru! 3
|
| Hanamaru |
Thank you, Ruby. I'll do my best too, zura. 4
|
| Hanamaru |
I haven't done a play since our kindergarten school recital, but I do think it'll help me write the play if I'm performing in it too. 5
|
| Player |
All right, let's dive right into it. What kind of play should we do? What kind of plays have you done so far?
|
| Shizuku |
Mainly period pieces like Shakespeare. We've also done plays depicting the lifetimes of famous people from all over the world, and we've adapted fairy tales and other stories. 6
|
| Shizuku |
The upperclassman who wrote the scripts for us also wrote a completely original fantasy play that we put on as well. 7
|
| Ruby |
Completely original? Wow, whoever wrote that must've been amazing! 8
|
| Player |
Hmm. If we base it off an existing work, then the story is already complete. That makes it a little easier, but...an original story feels like it'd be really worthwhile too.
|
| Hanamaru |
I haven't read many plays, zura... I wonder if the school library has some. I'll have to check next time. 9
|
| Shizuku |
I'd be so thrilled if you fell in love with plays too! Let me know when you check them out. I'd love to hear your thoughts! 10
|
| Hanamaru |
Sure! Do you have any plays you recommend, Shizuku? 11
|
| Shizuku |
Mmm, that's a good question. They're all masterpieces, so it's really hard to narrow them down. But perhaps we could try by picking some famous ones. 12
|
| Hanamaru |
You mentioned Shakespeare before, and he's famous. For the classics, I can think of Molière and Corneille, while for fairy tales, there's like Maeterlinck's "The Blue Bird". 13
|
| Shizuku |
Right. We've also challenged ourselves to traditional Japanese performance art as well, like Noh and kabuki. The most recent one we did was Monzaemon Chikamatsu's... 14
|
| Hanamaru |
The Love Suicides at Sonezaki?! You put on a masterpiece like that, zura?! 15
|
| Shizuku |
No, we did a different one. 16
|
| Player |
It kind of feels like Hanamaru and Shizuku are in their own little world.
|
| Ruby |
Eek... 17
|
| Player |
Um... So after some discussion, I think we should go with an original play that's either a romance, an adventure, or a mystery!
|
| Shizuku |
All of those are three classic genres you can't go wrong with! 19
|
| Ruby |
Well, Hanamaru, which one do you think you could write the best? 20
|
| Hanamaru |
Hmmm... I'm not sure... I've never gone on an adventure, I've never been involved in any mysteries, and I've never been in l-love either... 21
|
| Player |
But you can use your imagination for a fair amount of it, right? There's tons of romance, adventure, and mystery tales out there! They can't all be 100% based on fact!
|
| Shizuku |
But I do think it would be pretty hard to write something entirely based on your imagination. It's easier to create if part of the story is based on your own experiences... 22
|
| Player |
That's a good point. In that case... Let's go get you some experience!
|
| Hanamaru |
What? E-Experience? 23 +
|
| Player |
Yeah! Let's fall in love, go on an adventure, and solve a mystery!
