As I find that this place could use some entertainment, I think that it's time to host a radio drama over the journals! Hmm - would that make it a journal drama? . . .

For those who are not familiar with radios, I'm talking about a device that receives transmissions. Audience members listen to these radios to broadcasts of shows, programs, and others. However, we don't need those, since we have the journals!

Now, a radio drama is basically a play that you can listen to, and I think it would be fun to have one of those over here. As such, I am going to set one up! It's going to be mysterious and exciting! My plan is a cloak-and-dagger drama with romance, intrigue, and scandals everywhere!

If anyone has a proposal on a character they'd like to see in this drama, let me know at once - and if you'd like to audition for this character, then even better. ♥

Motochika-san, Mr. Ragna, Mr. Sinbad - I'm counting on you all! Ohohohohohoho!

Oh, but has anyone seen Anji-san? I feel as though this sort of thing would interest him . . . [She's looking for Ranma too, but she's not saying that out loud.]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[A radio drama, huh? That's not something Ragna would be personally interested in, but eh, whatever floats her boat. As long as she's having fun that doesn't involve setting islands on fire or otherwise destroying things...

... Wait a minute.]

Hey, stop right there! Why are you including me in that?!

[He doesn't remember agreeing to anything!]

I couldn't deny you the chance to get angry at everyone listening.

[And with that said, she burst out laughing.]

I think you'd make a funny narrator!

A voice-only play, huh? Sounds kinda interestin'.

I look forward to it. I could listen to your voice all day. Never been part of that whole "theatre of the mind" stuff.

[He'd get angry at them anyway─ hold on, that's not the problem here.]

Like hell I'm letting you make an idiot outta me in front of people! Don't even think 'bout it!

[Implying he's not making an idiot out of himself on a daily basis...]

[Sidestepping the radio drama stuff --]

I have looked and I cannot find him.

[He likes this voice function! He's more accustomed to writing, but he also likes the sound of his own voice.]

My dear, you had me at "romance." Should you require any assistance, I would be beyond thrilled to help out. If not, I shall simply wait to hear what you produce with bated breath.

...Man, you get busy with some weird stuff, Kodachi.

[And then Kodachi dangled from the ceiling upside-down over his head, thrusting a rose at his face. (Thankfully said rose was poison-free.)]

How is it making an idiot out of you when you're the one laughing at the audience?

[Logic, she has it.]

Are you really that shy?

[A smile.]

There are so many good storytellers in this place - why not combine their talents to make a truly memorable show?

[This is the same girl that put together a martial arts gymnastics team and headed them into victory. Kodachi definitely had no qualms about extorting the talents of others for her own pleasure . . .]

Do you have a character you want to see - or rather, hear - in this drama?

"Theater of the mind"? What are you talking about?

Mitsunari-san, what characters would you like to see in this drama?

[You can't sidestep it forever!]

Hmm - I suppose he must have gone visiting.

[The thought that he'd left wasn't first and foremost in her mind.]

[In that case, he should definitely audition so that he could hear more of his dulcet tones!]

Oh, so you enjoy romance in your stories! How nice to find a kindred spirit.

[A laugh.]

Your offer is most appreciated! I am Kodachi, the Black Rose. Ohohohohoho~! ♥

Well, we do have room for more cast members. What sort of character would you like to see? Are you interested in perhaps playing a character?

There are many long hours to kill while we're out at sea, after all!

[A laugh.]

What about you, Mr. Ace? What sort of character would you like to see in a radio drama?

Are you that bored?

[Is anyone else that bored to need this? Actually maybe they are, hiding and avoiding any trouble has to get boring sooner or later.]

Everyone seems to take it badly when I burn islands, so I suppose this is a better outlet.

Not everyone.

[Don't put him in the same sack as those, really.]

You should add a character that burns islands to your story, or places in general. Just to slap in the face those who take it so badly.

[That made her burst out into laughter.]

You're a wicked one, aren't you? [Said with fond amusement.]

I suppose an arsonist would be a colorful addition to a radio drama . . .

At the very least you would have a character that really knows how to make the plot get hot.

[He chuckles a bit.]

I don't really know anything about radio dramas, though, so I can't really offer much to that. I think my mother used to listen to them, but it's not as if I paid attention or remember much about that.

[It's mostly a supposition, actually. His mother didn't have friends and she didn't read or have any hobby that he remembers, she had to do something with her time, right? And he knows the radio was always on when she was at home, it's one of those auditive memories that he has, better than the visual ones.]

That is a terrible pun, Ikki-san, and you should be ashamed! [Except she was giggling so it was all good.]

It's really just a story or a play with a narrator and characters, so it's nothing that difficult to grasp. Would you like to audition for a part?

[Mitsunari, however...]

If he does not return, then he may have left this world.

[He's very deliberately ignoring the question.]

It's an old Earth term for what you're talking about. Radio entertainment. Where you have to use your own imagination to paint the picture, while people act things out.

Well... the only stories we got are from old legends and stuff. Not much romance or scandals goin' around.

I'm sure whatever you come up with will be all right.

Unfortunately, I don't hae enough shame for that.

[Besides, he's hearing that giggle. He's not going to apologize for a terrible pun that still makes laugh, he wasn't aiming for that anyway.]

Oh? I thought it was just one person narrating it all, like storytellers.

[Now the part about auditions makes sense.]

I'm not bored enough to do it, though if you really want to do this, I suppose you could try to convince me.

if you want to go full entertainment, why not other things as well. Like one would find on a radio station. Music, dramas, advice columns. Things like that.
