The gang is here at the night pool!
Christine: Ladies, gentlemen, and others! Welcome to the Theatorium Night Pool! Thrills! Chills! Fantasies! Phantoms! Enjoy the party!
Gang: !!
MC: Oh my god?
Barong: Om swastyasu! How about a welcoming drink?
MC: Cool thanks / what? / Hot waiter alert!
---
(C) Barong: Wow thanks, your flattery makes me want to give you more free stuff!
---
Barong: I'm Barong, this resort's part time hotelier, and om swastyasu is a Bali greeting. Welcome to the Entertainers' Portal! We got all sorts of stimulation for our guests, and if you tip me I'll promise you an even more exciting stay! I'm doing a dance show later. Come by and watch! Bye!
MC: So many lights / This is like a pleasure seeker's paradise / Debauchery?
Kengo: ...was Yurakucho always like this?
Ryouta: ...last time I was around I thought of the place as full of buildings and theaters.
Touji: This place is very surprising...how much did it all cost?
Shirou: I thought they were joking when I looked into this place and they said it was in the middle of a bunch of high rise buildings. What kind of investor invited you, MC?
MC: (shrug)
Gorozaemon: You'll just have to wait and see! Just like me since I don't know who it is, haha!
Kengo: WHERE DID YOU COME FROM
Gorozaemon: Nice, hiding and waiting was worth it!
Ryouta: You were here the whole time!?
Shirou: I didn't notice either...
Gorozaemon: Great reactions all around! Also I lied. I really only just got here.
Shirou and Ryouta: ...
Gorozaemon: Super sorry guys. Doing whatever I can to surprise people is just how I am.
MC: Huh.
Gorozaemon: Come on, don't sweat the small stuff! Have some fun here! Also, here's a pamphlet with a map of the place. I suck at navigating maps so I can't really be your tour guide.
Shirou: Seriously who invited us
MC: Oh right. Gorozaemon, what were you saying about guild errands!?
Gorozaemon: Awesome playing along. Don't worry about that, the party bigshot is going about greeting people and that'll take some time. You may as well hang around for a while until they come around.
Touji: Well...I'll go do my own thing then. A bunch of people from the police station have been invited, so I should go talk to them. Security is tight with all the rich people here. I doubt it'll be dangerous, but don't get into anything crazy.
MC: (whistle) / Don't look at me like that / (change the subject with a hug!)
(AB) Touji: You're not fooling anyone! Don't stick your nose into any trouble! I mean you will anyway, but for the record.
(C) Touji: No not in public, MC! You are acting too casual!
Touji: Ahem. Bye.
Kengo: I'mma do my own thing too! Lookie here on the pamphlet!
Ryouta: ...a battle stage on the water? That's a thing?
Kengo: Yep! It's a special stage for App players! I need to kick some ass!
MC: I wanna watch! / I'm not really into spectator fights / Fight me Kengo!
---
(A) Kengo: Yeah, you better come see me!
(B) Kengo: I'm not gonna push you to join. Come by and watch if you feel like it!
(C) Kengo: Hell yeah! We'll go all out against each other later!
---
Shirou: I'm going to split off too. I saw one of our allies at the private spa area, so now's a good time to go talk with them. Don't do anything crazy yet since we don't know who really invited us and why they did so. Call me if anything comes up!
MC: Worrywart! / You be careful too / Goodbye hug!
(A) Shirou: There's no too much worrying when it comes to you. Stay safe, okay?
(B) Shirou: Haha, wow you're worrying about me? I'll be fine. But thanks for worrying about me.
(C) Shirou: N-not in public! And people not minding isn't the problem! I'm not against it but... n-never mind, bye!
Ryouta: Looks like it's just you and me! ...except I have somewhere I wanna check out. A friend told me they got a bunch of famous dessert chefs here in the food court! You get how it is.
MC: Yep / Nope
Ryouta: I gotta check out all the desserts! And the other food too. Bye MC!
Gorozaemon: Wow all your lackeys ditched you? I could eat you up right here and none of them would know. Aren't they awful?
MC: They aren't my lackeys. We can have fun together or on our own. It's how we are in the Summoners.
Gorozaemon: You sure told me! Oh, did I upset you? Sorry, I didn't mean anything bad by that. It's in my nature to test people. Did I say that already? Whatever. Look! Pool! I'm off to get drinks, so go hang around over there. Flirting is all part of the summer experience. PSYCH!
Later
Branch time!
MC: Swim / Lounge
(Swim section)
Zabaniya: Arslan, couldn't we practice swimming elsewhere?
Arslan: What? You think this is practice?
Zabaniya: Yes. Why else would we be here?
Arslan: Is that why you looked so stuffy!? Your sincerity is a virtue, but this is a pool! Lighten up!
Zabaniya: Yes, it is. A rather overdecorated one at that.
Arslan: You did not just say that! Take a look around...
Zabaniya: Hmm...now that you mention it, not many people are swimming here.
Arslan: THAT'S your big takeaway!? Do you not see everyone enjoying themselves? Run around! Scream! Shake your booty!
Zabaniya: I'm sorry Arslan I can't.
Arslan: You can't just declare that! Just go with the flow more, like Nyarlathotep! ...where is he anyway? I thought he was around here, but I see someone else familiar around here.
MC: Hi / You're so stuffy Zabaniya!
(A) Arslan: Wow, MC! You were invited too?
(B) Zabaniya: Oh, MC. Am I that stuffy...?
Arslan: You could stand to relax more!
Zabaniya: I-I'm sorry. But I...
Arslan: Stop overthinking it! Just tell yourself that learning to relax is also a kind of training.
Zabaniya: Well in that case...
Arslan: Yes! YES! Just like that! Pool party!
MC: Yeah! / Uhh
Zabaniya: ...p-pool par...
Zabaniya: I'm sorry I can't do it! Please punish me!
Arslan: ...well I can't expect you to change that fast. This is gonna take a while. Alright, let's have fun here until you get it!
Zabaniya: H-how long? Wait, Arslan!
Arslan: Wanna come too, MC? I won't lose to that avatar of Garuda!
Zabaniya: Excuse us, MC.
(Lounge section)
Aegir: Hahaha, this place is gorgeous!
Dagon: Yes, the Shangri La architecture is fascinating. Is the party thrower from there? How many people did it take to build this large place in a few months?
Aegir: Hey, don't talk about work here! You're gonna waste my good mood!
Dagon: That's just my personal curiosity. I plan on having fun on this time off of course. I don't do well in the daytime, but the pool at night suits me perfectly.
Aegir: Heh. You took an invite from me, so you better have fun.
Dagon: You pushed that thing on me after crashing into my home and eating all my bread. ...hmm?
MC: Hi you two! / Older people charm!
(A) Aegir: Well look at the jewel that rolled my way!
Dagon: I never expected to run into you here. This is going to be a great day off.
(B) Aegir: Ooh, where you staring MC? Charmed by my jewel of a bod? I can give you a front row seat to look from.
Dagon: Don't go hogging all the spotlight, Aegir. I'm not that bad looking myself... does this please your eyes? It doesn't have to stop there.
Aegir: Whatever, you came at a good time MC!
Dagon: Yes, would you mind helping us with something? It's nothing that will take long.
Aegir: We got some massage oil for deep sea lifeforms specially made for the resort they gave us.
Dagon: It's likely a balm of some kind they give as an amenity. Very...fascinating smell. We'd like to try it, but I'd rather not rub it on for Aegir.
Aegir: I like being served. That's where you come in!
Dagon: Would you mind helping, MC?
Aegir: Wanna take in every nook and cranny of me?
Dagon: Hey, don't cheat to get ahead. I'm first.
MC: omg / hey wait I'm not ready / yessss (reaches out)
Aegir: ...HAHA.
Dagon: Heh, sorry. I guess we overdid it. Someone else is waiting for you, correct? I can wait. I'm used to that.
Aegir: Nice reaction. I can admire you in hand next time!
Dagon: I'll invite you to somewhere private next time... look forward to taking our time together.
Branch convergence!
MC: So many familiar faces. Is Gorozaemon back yet? / Hang out some more. (go do the other branch)
Wrestler: Back off girl, the buff lion looked at me first!
Zo: H-hey, stop pulling on me!
Wrestler: You invited me with your starry eyes, didn't you?
Yasha: No he invited ME first! Those eyes made my heart go doki-doki...
Zo: No really, stop tugging me in opposite directions!
Zo: (Ugh, I know I look good but I can't just go looking at everyone. I know I'm the forward, aggressive type but it's rude to have a little bit of everything. I should be going after the BEST looking thing to get my fangs into and--) Hmm?
MC: (Nope)
Zo: Hey, there you are! I've been looking all over for you! Sorry I kept you waiting, let's get going!
Wrestler: B-b-but...!
Yasha: HEY! Where the hell are you going!?
Zo: Look at that! Let's go there!
MC: what / nooo don't pull on me!
Zo: (shut up and play along until we get to that pool!)
Later
Zo: Okay I think we lost them. Thanks. I'm...uh, call me Oz. You look tasty! What's your name?
MC: MC Fullname / GASP, a predatory playboy! / (stare)
---
(A) Zo: Nice to meet ya! Don't worry, I'll be gentle when it comes to it.
(BC): Zo: Hey, no need to be on guard. I'll be gentle when it comes to it. MC? Nice to meet ya.
---
Zo: Huh. I feel like I've heard your name somewhere before. Whatever.
MC: Were you flirting back there?
Zo: Well...sorta! I wanted to show my cowardly partner how lions behave.
Zo stares at MC with his DEEP, STARRY EYES.
Zo: ...hey MC, you wanna know how a lion lives and in the summer stars? Come with me then. It'll be exciting~. We'll start with having fun in the pool! In you go! (shove)
MC: WHAT (pulls Zo along)
Zo: Haha, cool fall. Now leggo...I just wanted to give you a little scare, but your face then was cute. Wanna play around somewhere? We can grab some grub first and decide after that! All you can eat meat at the food court! Cooked meat can be good too. Then we can go on the water slide or the battle area. So many options! You can leave it up to me, we'll have tons of fun! First, a drink...
Gorozaemon: Here you go.
Zo: Thanks. This is some good stu--WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AND HOW'D YOU GET SO CLOSE!?
Gorozaemon: Aww YES! I'm Gorozaemon. Nice to meet you!
MC: Where were you?
Gorozaemon: Super sorry, haha! I got lost looking for the drinks! And then I saw you. I had a resort guide help me find you. Anyways, is that your date?
MC: Total stranger / I just met him... / It was destiny~
(A) Zo: GODS I'LL EAT YOU FOR THAT! ...oh, it was a joke?
(B) Zo: Hey, don't make that face. We're gonna get to know each other real good after this.
(C) Zo: Nice! I'll sink my fangs right into you if you feel like it.
Gorozaemon: Haha, playboy alert! It's the smell of sweet, sweet romance! Oh wait right, I still haven't introduced this guy.
Heracles: I'm Heracles, part time staffer at this resort. I'm glad you reunited with no issues.
Zo: !?!?
MC: Long time no see! / Nice to meet you, stranger!
---
(A) Heracles: Indeed. I'm happy to see you again.
(B) Heracles: Pleased to meet you. I swear to do my best to make your stay enjoyable.
---
Zo: Y-you're Heracles...?
Heracles: Yes, is something the matter? You're shaking all over... actually have we met before?
Zo: OH NO I JUST CAN'T WITH THIS GUY, PARTNER (flump)
Heracles: Sir!? Sir!? Medic!
