Chapter 1: Starting Block

Male Doctor: Hmm… What do we do… According to today’s observation report…

???: …

Female Doctor: Mr. What do you plan on doing today? Next time we –

???: Whaaa???

MC: Hm?

Tom Collins: ah…ah… a dream…

MC: I’m sorry, Tom Collins. I saw you sleeping here so I thought I would cover you with a blanket, but I guess I startled you. I guess you were fine the way you were. It looks like you might have hurt your arm.. I can leave you alone if you’d like.

Tom Collins: …! I’m sorry! It was just a bad dream..

MC: Your face is pale.. are you okay?

American Lemonade: Hey, Tom Collins! Could you help me bring in the rest of the groceries?

Tom Collins: Interesting, don’t you think. This is almost like the first day you came here.

Kamikaze: Right? When we threw her that welcome party! I kind of want to do something like that again.

Long Island Iced Tea: How about we do an “end of your trial period,” and host an official welcome party?

Screwdriver: Today is going to be a meat festival! Kamikaze and I are going to put our all into this meal!

Gimlet: We also prepared a salad since it's bad to just eat meat. Let’s eat a lot tonight. We also added some herbs I found in the garden.

MC: Gimlet, you made a salad?

Mistia Rose: Gimlet only... provided… the ingredients. I was... the one who made it. Please eat as much as you'd like.

Dirty Mother: For everyone’s sake, I taste tested the food for poison, and we have no problem

Mistia Royale: Unfortunately, he ate half of everything

Kamikaze: Let’s stop this talking and take our seats. Let's make a toast tonight.

American Lemonade: Okay! I’ll be the one to make the toast tonight! Hmm.. okay? Does everyone have their glasses ready? I just want to say a few words. Congratulations… Cheers!

Everyone: Cheers!

Screwdriver: Okay, everyone, don’t be shy and eat and drink as much as you like! I prepared duck meat curry for us today

Kamikaze: It looks a bit tough, but I can guarantee it tastes amazing

Mistia Royal: Yum, it’s delicious. It’s so strange…. Even though it’s a woodsman’s meal…it has such a delicate flavor.

Dirty Mother: Can I drink the rest of this?

Gimlet: You shouldn't drink that much curry. Why don’t you treat yourself to one of my nutritional smoothies instead?

Seventh Heaven: Stop it! That thing has death written all over it!

Emerald Mist: Hey! Quit running around during dinner time! What are you? In elementary school?

Screwdriver: It’s entertaining having everyone be so lively together like this. Can’t we just let everyone enjoy themselves?

Emerald Mist: There’s a fine line between lively and noisy! This place isn’t a zoo for…. hey, what did you just put on my plate!?

Long Island Iced Tea: I didn’t put anything? Don’t you trust me?

Kamikaze: You’re spilling stuff on the floor

Dirty Mother: I’ve finished the appetizer. What’s the main course?

Sidecar: I thought it was obvious that this was the main course

Seventh Heaven: WHAT? You mean to tell me that while I was running away from the demon’s noxious blood, we ran out of the gnome’s holy water???

MC: This has been fun, but do you think we can hold off on the food for a minute?

Gimlet: Tom Collins, if you don’t hurry and eat, Dirty Mother is going to eat everything!

Kamikaze: You haven’t really eaten anything. Is there something wrong with the food?

Tom Collins: It’s not that… I had that dream again earlier.

Kamikaze: Ah, so you’ve lost your appetite then. Eat what you can and rest. We have that photo shoot tomorrow.

MC: (again?) Um.. you don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to, but everyone here.. you’re not human, right?

Gimlet: That’s right. We don’t age either. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t care about our health!

Long Island Iced Tea: Ah, perhaps, you’re interested in how our bodies work? Well, as for our body composition, we still have white blood cells and fibrinogen contained in –

MC: No, I got that… I want to hear about what makes you different from regular people. You know, things that affect your daily life.

Sidecar: Different from regular people? We really aren’t so different than everyone else. If there are any differences, they’d be small.

Screwdriver: If I was attacked by a wild boar, one night’s rest would replenish all my strength

American Lemonade: But that’s just you. Other than that, we have a short attention span.

Emerald Mist: No, that’s just something wrong with your personality. As for me getting knocked down… Ah, I guess there’s nothing I could really say.

MC: So if I throw water on you, you won’t disappear or turn into alcohol or anything would you?

Mistia Royale: If that were the case, then taking a bath would be trouble for us. We wouldn’t be able to relax even in our own bathtub.

MC: Right…. I’m sorry, I’ve been asking so many strange things.

Long Island Iced Tea: It’s fine! We welcome any interest you may have in us!

Dirty Mother: If there’s anything else you want to know, all you have to do is ask.

MC: Thank you, everyone. I’ll keep that in mind!
