Episode 5-52: Virtual Game Play
Lecture Hall
Board Game Club’s Booth
Idia Idia	Ugghhh, there’s only two hours left until my research presentation… I’ve tried every technique under the sun to calm down, but it’s not working at all. For starters, why they heck do I have to take to the podium in person? That’s such a high hurdle. Wouldn’t a video chat with a digital avatar be just fine? My voice synth software is perfect, but could I really pull off typing up Q&A answers in real time without looking? While standing in front of people.
Grim Grim	There’s some guy sitting in the corner muttering to himself, y’know.
Riddle Riddle	…Idia, what are you doing over there?
Idia Idia	Buwaahhh! Professor Riddle! What’re you doing here?!
Riddle Riddle	Huh? Professor?
Idia Idia	Ah, n-n-nevermind. Just talking to myself.
Riddle Riddle	Are you all prepared to give your presentation on stage?
Idia Idia	Th-There’s no need at all for you to worry. Just take a look at this. Hee hee.
Riddle Riddle	Oh? Alright. There are so many topics within the area of magical tool engineering that you specialize in that are fascinating. I’m looking forward to your presentation.
Idia Idia	A-A-Anyway, I’m up to my eyes with last minute checks. If you’re looking to play board games then go find Ortho.
Ortho Ortho	Riddle Rosehearts. Trey Clover. Prefect. Grim. Hello to you! Welcome to the board game club exhibition booth! You can play a variety of board game booth new and old from all over the world here. On top of that, you can test out the magically powered game my brother made, VR Magical Sugoroku!
Trey Trey	What’s VR Magical Sugoroku?
Grim Grim	It definitely sounds fun, y’know!
Ortho Ortho	Put on the magic-powered VR goggles my brother developed… Then the wearer can enter the world of virtual reality. Roll the dice and advance around the game board and the players can take part in a bunch of virtual events. And of course, the dice is powered by an algorithm that makes sure every roll is random! There’s no way for you to use some special technique to get the number you want. Entrust your fate to the roll of the dice, then defeat monsters in the jungle… Or dig for oil in the middle of the desert, all while racing to the goal. That is the fresh and novel game, VR Magical Sugoroku!
Trey Trey	So is that really…a board game?
Choice 1: It’s a video game.		Choice 2: It sounds so fun!
Ortho Ortho	Oh, are you curious? Then please give it a try.
Trey Trey	Thanks. Unfortunately, we’re in the middle of going around to all the booths. I’ll come back later to give it the time it deserves.
Ortho Ortho	Oh really? That’s a shame. Then I’ll see you later!
Azul Azul	Well now, everyone, welcome to our board game club exhibition booth.
Riddle Riddle	Azul. Oh that’s right, you’re in the board game club too. I had thought that on an event day like today, that you’d be hard at work at Mostro Lounge.
Azul Azul	Come now, Riddle. I’m a student too you know. I plan to take part in the culture festival as a member of a culture club. For this event I made sure to make arrangements to get some people with excess free time... I mean members of the sports clubs. Besides the shop, we’ll also have people going through the stands at the different stages selling drinks to the audience. The centerpiece of this year’s culture festival will obviously be VDC happening on the purple stage.
Trey Trey	Whoa… You sure though this all through. I can learn a thing or two.
Azul Azul	Including myself as the dorm head and Jade as vice dorm head, there are many members of Octavinelle that belong to culture clubs. There is a good chance that the lounge will be flood with guests beyond what we’re able to handle.
Riddle Riddle	That reminds me, Jade created a club of his own and is running it all by himself, isn’t he? The mountain lovers’ association. He applied to host a booth this year. From the sound of the name, I thought it was a sports club, but it’s a culture club.
Trey Trey	By the way, what exactly does he do in that club?
Azul Azul	Who knows… I don’t know the details.
Grim Grim	That scary guy put it together, so I bet its activities are just as scary. He’s gotta be digging up freaky things on the mountain, and burying suspicious stuff, y’know.
Riddle Riddle	I could see Jade doing that. We should go see what his booth is like. I accepted his booth application, but he could be up to no good.
Azul Azul	Yes, you should go see what he’s doing. I’m sure he’d be delighted. I’m sure he’s swimming in free time since he’s all by his lonesome.
