## Level Summary

Thia and Toni arrive on Taurus. They discuss the planet's gothic styles and meet Runato, a CocoDoll who tells them they should talk to the Prince about finding Unit Members.

## Story

### Start

**Thia**: Here we are in Taurus! ...Huh? Is it night here?

**Toni**: No, it's noon. In Taurus, they have darkness all through the day. Because of that lots of the famous outfits here are in a dark, gothic style.

**Thia**: I can see why. The orange light leaking out of the windows gives the place a real spooky mood. Ooh, and look - aren't these Jack o' Lanterns they've set out cute?

**Toni**: The dim lighting is rather relaxing. It's not bad, I guess.

**Thia**: What's the matter, are you scared?

**Toni**: Of course not! It's just...you should maintain constant vigilance.

**Thia**: Okay... Hey, Toni. We can take a balloon ship from here to get to Gemini, right?

**Toni**: According to our information, it's not available right now. We'll need to take a detour.

**Thia**: I guess there's no hurry, then. We can take our time and find some new members.

**Toni**: Yes, we had to leave Libra in a hurry, so this will be a nice change of pace.

**Thia**: It's a shame we missed that chance before...but 'elegant' people probably wouldn't want to join us.

**Toni**: I don't know that. By the way Thia, what do you think about the outfits of the people around us?

**Thia**: In a word...they're really cool! Although they wear all black, their outfits still have personality. Wow! Look at her! Excuse me, would you like to join our Unit?

**Toni**: Hey, Thia! That's too sudden!

**???**: Oh yeah the punk-goth look's really popular with the young folk.

**Toni**: Wh-What the?! Horns?! Whoever you are, don't go sneaking up on people out of nowhere!

**Thia**: It's rare to see you get so nervous. Calm down, I don't think he meant any harm.

**Toni**: I...I know. I was just surprised...

**Runato**: Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm Runato, a CocoDoll from right here on Taurus.

**Thia**: ...So would you like to join us?!

**Runato**: Thank you for the offer, but I'm busy with something else right now. More than that, if you're a CocoDoll, how about greeting me with an outfit?

**Thia**: Of course! What kind of outfits do you like?

**Runato**: Well, since it's a greeting, how about we go with something friendly and accessible? Something **simple** that brings out the best of the material, with a **girly** twist. How's that sound?

**Thia**: I see, the right outfit for the situation... Okay, here I go!

### End

**Runato**: Thank you for the nice greeting. After the fashion check, I feel like I know you better.

**Thia**: Thanks, I learned something, too. Making an outfit's not just about what I want, I also need to think about what others are expecting. That's very important.

**Toni**: Yes. You need to consider the situation and the feelings of others. Thank you, Runato. You've taught Thia an important lesson.

**Runato**: No worries. It was a good use of my time.

**Thia**: Being a CocoDoll is great! It's so wonderful that my outfits can make people happy.

**Runato**: ... Maybe if you were here, he wouldn't have lost sight of what's really important...

**Thia**: Huh?

**Runato**: Oh, anyway, Thia. You're looking for new members, right? Maybe you should talk to the Prince.

**Thia**: You mean Taurus has a Prince instead of a Princess?

**Runato**: Yep. You should go find him. I'm sure he'll want to help. You may end up having a really wonderful encounter.
