Emu

Listen

Hehehehehe♪

Emu

Listen

I'm so glad they gave us permission to warn the guests about these thefts by putting on performances♪

Nene

Listen

Yeah, I'm glad the park gave us the green light too.

Tsukasa

Listen

Indeed!
But what are we going to perform...?

Rui

Listen

Well, we want everyone to understand what's been going on, so we'll want to do something that's short and simple.

Emu

Listen

Yup yup!
It's gotta be easy to understand above all else!

Emu

Listen

Oh, also... We need to try to remind them to stay calm if they do happen to run into the thief!

Nene

Listen

Stay calm, huh...?

Nene

Listen

Yeah, learning that people's things have been getting stolen would scare anyone...

Emu

Listen

Exactly. I know it's important to warn everyone about what's been going on, but I also want them to really enjoy their time here.

Rui

Listen

Hehe.
It's very like you to come up with such a wonderful idea, Emu.

Tsukasa

Listen

I agree.
We should do our best to not make them worry.

Tsukasa

Listen

So, something short, simple and easy to understand, but also fun and enjoyable...

Guests

Oh, did you hear?

Emu

Listen

Huh?

Guests

People's things have been disappearing.
And it's apparently been happening quite a lot lately.

Guests

Oh, really? That's pretty scary...

Guests

I even heard that someone's things got stolen just yesterday. What if it happens again today...?

Guests

What?!
Doesn't that mean the thief might be hiding in plain sight?

Emu

Listen

Oh...

Nene

Listen

People are already talking about it...

Rui

Listen

There isn't much anyone can do since word can spread so quickly like this.

Nene

Listen

Emu? Is something wrong...?

Emu

Listen

It's just...

Emu

Listen

I want those people to smile, you know...?

Emu

Listen

They came here wanting to have a fun time, so I don't want them to feel all sad and scared.

Tsukasa

Listen

Yes, I agree...
I feel the same way.

Rui

Listen

Hehe. Then, why don't we try doing a quick skit for them right here...?

Rui

Listen

We'll have to improvise, but I have a feeling that it'll make things feel more real.

Emu

Listen

Yeah! I'm in!

Emu

Listen

Let's do an improv skit that'll make them smile and laugh!

Nene

Listen

Hehe. Okay...
Let's give it a try.

Tsukasa

Listen

Then, let's quickly come up with some roles! Any ideas?

Emu

Listen

Then, I'll be the thief!
You play the victim, Nene, and Rui can...

Guests

Oh, these are so cute!
Wanna buy some as souvenirs?

Guests

Yeah, okay!
Oh, but we need to be careful since someone's been stealing everyone's things...

Guests

R-Right...!
Then, maybe we should buy these later.

Emu's Voice

Listen

“Hah hah hah!
I am the great thief, Emuemon Otori!
All of your possessions are mine, young lady!”

BGM: --:-- / --:-- Play

Guests

Wait, what?!

Sound Effect: Play

Nene

Listen

“S-Stop! Thief!”

Emu

Listen

“Do you honestly think anyone would stop after hearing that?! If you want your things back, then come get them!”

Sound Effect: Play

Guests

Oh, is this supposed to be a skit...?

Guests

I recognize them from the posters. They're a part of the cast for the show that they were supposed to do today.

Nene

Listen

“Wh-What do I do...?
I've already lost sight of her...”

Sound Effect: Play

Rui

Listen

“What's wrong? You seem very distraught.”

Nene

Listen

“Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Samurai, but my things just got stolen!”

Rui

Listen

“Wait, that's terrible.
Can you tell me what this thief looked like?”

Nene

Listen

“She was about this tall, but very fast...
Wait, that's her!!!”

Emu

Listen

“Oh no! You found me!”

Sound Effect: Play

Rui

Listen

“Freeze!”

Emu

Listen

“No! You aren't going to catch me so easily!”

Guests

Huh...?! She's coming this way!

Guests

Wh-What do we do...?!

Tsukasa

Listen

“Stop right there, thief! Did you really think you'd get away with this?”

Sound Effect: Play

Guests

Eep...!
Someone's coming from behind!

Emu

Listen

“No, you're that detective!
N-Not good!”

Tsukasa

Listen

“Heh. End of the line!
You're under arrest!”

Rui

Listen

“The life of a criminal is seldom a long one. Now, it's time for you to face the music!”

Emu

Listen

“Nooo!
A pincer move! I'm trapped!”

Guests

Haha. She's starting to panic!

Guests

I've never seen people do a skit so up close like this before. This is really fun.

Sound Effect: Play

Emu

Listen

“Grr...!
Th-There's nothing I can do!”

Emu

Listen

Anyway, everyone, the moral of the story is that you need to be very careful with your belongings!

Nene

Listen

If you happen to witness a theft in progress, be sure to ask a nearby ronin or detective wearing a staff badge for help.

Rui

Listen

We promise to continue doing our best to keep you smiling and laughing, so please try to stay positive.

Tsukasa

Listen

Now then, we hope you enjoy the rest of your time here at Hiori Jidaigeki Studio Park!

Sound Effect: Play

Rui

Listen

Nice work, everyone.

Nene

Listen

Phew...
We did that skit completely on the fly, but everyone seemed to really enjoy it.

Emu

Listen

Yeah! I really hope it helps keep their spirits up!

Tsukasa

Listen

Actually, I think it's already having a positive effect. Look...!

Guests

That was meant to be a warning about all the thefts we've been hearing about, right?

Guests

I think so. But I ended up laughing for most of it.

Guests

Me too. And the staff will help us if anything does happen, so let's just try to have fun...!

Emu

Listen

...!
Thank goodness!

Emu

Listen

(Things are just so much better when everyone's smiling like this...)

Emu

Listen

(I mean, this park's meant to be a place where they get to have fun.)

Emu

Listen

Alright, let's keep up the momentum and keep doing more of these skits!!!
