Creepy Voices

 **Lalafin:**It's almost that time again, but...!

 **Lalafin:**I've polished the Mega Rabbit Hammer nice and shiny, so I'm all set to be Rabbit Steel!

 **Lalafin:****(Rabbit)**
"Hah, I ain't afraid of no ghosts! Anything that shows up, the bodyguard of justice'll beat 'em black and—"

 **Aruru:**Ghosts?

 **Lalafin:**Eep!

 **Aruru:**Wow, now that's Rabbit Steel! You jumped so high, you could've jumped right over me!

 **Lalafin:**Arrrgh, don't scare me like that!

 **Aruru:**Ahaha, you just looked so serious, so I was wondering what was up...

 **Aruru:**Did you get that costume from the storeroom!? You wanna get some guerrilla Captain Twins up in here!?

 **Lalafin:**That's tempting, but no!

 **Lalafin:**The thing is... Lately, I've been hearing these creepy voices at night.

 **Lalafin:**Like, "hate," or "no escape," stuff like that!

 **Aruru:**What the heck? That's straight out of a horror movie!

 **Lalafin:**I know, right? Tsukasa's scared out of her mind, too... For two nights now, we've been huddling up in bed together.

 **Aruru:**Any other day, I'd be happy you're so close, but...

 **Lalafin:**Yeah... So today, I'm gonna get to the bottom of these voices!

 **Aruru:**Oh, I get it! That's why you're Rabbit Steel. 'Cause she can beat up anything...

 **Aruru:**By the way, have you talked to Shizuha-chan about it? She might have a good idea!

 **Lalafin:**Well, apparently she has her hands full, too.

 **Aruru:**Sh-She does...!?

 **Lalafin:**Hey, Shizuha! I've been hearing these weird voices at night, and—

 **Shizuha:**...

 **Lalafin:**Shizuha?

 **Shizuha:**Oh, sorry... I was just thinking about something.

 **Shizuha:**Is everything okay? Need to talk?

 **Lalafin:**N-No, I'm fine! It's nothing!

 **Lalafin:**...She's acting, like, different!

 **Aruru:**Yeah, it's not every day she spaces out.

 **Lalafin:**Right!? So I'm thinking, what if a ghost is haunting her!?

 **Aruru:**Hrrm... Now we really have to do somethi—

**????:**"What did you just say!?"

**Lalafin & Aruru:**Hyeep!?

 **Lalafin:**Th-That was...

 **Aruru:**Yeah! I've never heard that voice before in my life...

**????:**"Shout all you want. The dead won't come back to life."

**????:**"I told you. All there is to be found here is death..."

**????:**"Wh-What's gonna happen to us!? I don't wanna die like this!"

 **Aruru:**D-Die!?

 **Lalafin:**Aruru, what do we do!?

 **Aruru:**I don't know... But I'm gonna be Dorothy Ann! I just know Dorothy would—

 **Aruru:****(Dorothy)**
"Press boldly forward! Come what may, the waves will have our backs!"

Shining Sea Route

 **Lalafin:**A-Aruru? Shouldn't we turn on the lights in the hallway?

 **Aruru:**No, I heard lots of weird voices. We don't want them realizing someone's here... Let's go!

 **Lalafin:**O-Okay! But isn't this room—

***\*creak\*...***

 **Lalafin:**Huh!?

 **Aruru:**Shizuha-chan...?

 **Shizuha:****(Calm Man)**
"—I can't believe there's been another victim."

 **Shizuha:****(Scared Girl)**
"Is it really a curse after all!?"

 **Shizuha:****(Calm Man)**
"No, there's a human explanation for this. We still have time until morning. Whatever you do, don't leave this room..."

 **Shizuha:****(Rough Middle-Aged Man)**
"Are you out of your mind!? I'm going back to my room!"

 **Lalafin:**Ummm, uhhh, Shizuha...?

 **Shizuha:****(Old Woman Shaking Her Hair)**
"Oooooooh, it's the curse! The curse we all feared has come to pass!"

 **Aruru:**Uh-oh. Shizuha-chan's in a trance!

 **Shizuha:****(Old Woman Shaking Her Hair)**
"This is only the beginning... You have run afoul of the village's curse! Eeeeeeeeeheeheehee!"

**Lalafin & Aruru:**Eeeeeep...!

 **Lalafin:**What do we do, Aruru!? How do we turn Shizuha back to normal!?

 **Aruru:**Uhhh, uhhh, at a time like this...

 **Aruru:**An eye for an eye, a performance for—

 **Lalafin:**A performance!

 **Aruru:****(Dorothy)**
"There you are! So you're the Pirate Queen Captain Leona!?"

 **Lalafin:****(Rabbit)**
"Gadzooks, watch your tone! If you wanna talk to the boss, you'll have to go through her bodyguard, Rabbit Steel, first!"

 **Shizuha:**...Huh?

 **Shizuha:**Wh-What're Dorothy and Rabbit doing here?

 **Aruru:**Yippee, Shizuha-chan came back to us!

 **Shizuha:**I-I'm so sorry! I must have gotten lost in my acting again.

 **Lalafin:**Man, I thought for sure those voices were ghosts. Never would've guessed they were you all along!

 **Shizuha:**Ghosts...?

 **Shizuha:**Oh, no! I can't believe I scared you so bad...!

 **Aruru:**Ahaha, it's cool! It was a lot of fun in retrospect♪

 **Lalafin:**But anyway, what was that all about?

 **Aruru:**Were you practicing for an assignment or something?

 **Shizuha:**No, that was... Um.

 **Shizuha:**Have you two heard of let's plays?

**Lalafin & Aruru:**Let's plays...?

 **Shizuha:**Yes. It's when you record yourself playing a video game and upload it to the internet for the world to see.

 **Shizuha:**I've, um...started doing that recently.

 **Aruru:**Wow, cool!

 **Lalafin:**Wait, so when you were spacing out, you were thinking about your videos?

 **Shizuha:**Oh, that was something else. I was just...worried about my future.

 **Lalafin:**You mean your career path? Isn't it a bit soon for us to be thinking about that?

 **Shizuha:**Yeah... But since I have the time, I want to spend it thinking of as many options as I can.

 **Aruru:**Huh!? Aren't you gonna keep acting!?

 **Shizuha:**Of course. I'm not considering anything else. But there's all kinds of different actors, so I have a lot of choices, right?

 **Shizuha:**I'm having trouble figuring out where I stand... I started let's playing to try and take my mind off things.

 **Shizuha:**I like games, and I want to keep acting, so I thought about how to do both, and I came up with reading an old visual novel.

 **Lalafin:**Oh, so that's what all that was!

 **Aruru:**Mmm, at least there wasn't any ghosts, but... That sure is a pickle you're in.

 **Shizuha:**Yeah. But this has helped remind me how much I love acting.

 **Shizuha:**So if I just keep at it, I'm sure I'll find some kind of answer!

 **Lalafin:**Hey, Shizuha! Do you think—

 **Shizuha:**Yes, Lalafin?

 **Lalafin:**N-Nothing! Never mind!

 **Lalafin:**(...She was really amazing at doing all those different voices.)

 **Lalafin:**(I was gonna suggest voice work, but that's some serious business. I don't know if I can bring it up like it's nothing...)

 **Aruru:****(Dorothy)**
"—You'll be fine, Leona!"

**Lalafin & Shizuha:**...!!

 **Aruru:****(Dorothy)**
"You don't have to think about it alone. That's what we're here for!"

 **Lalafin:****(Rabbit)**
"Yeah! The shining sun, the whimsical wind, the indomitable sea... All of it'll take you to the horizon and beyond!"

 **Shizuha:****(Leona)**
"...You're right."

 **Shizuha:****(Leona)**
"There's more to the sea than what makes it scary. I've always known that."

 **Shizuha:****(Leona)**
"All right, I'll take flight higher than any seabird and seize the sun's gold—"

 **Lalafin:**(Yeah! We don't have to say anything. She'll be just fine!)

 **Lalafin:**(Shizuha is the Pirate Queen Leona... She'll find her answer. She'll find her future!)

 **Shizuha:**I wasn't expecting to play Leona again like this... Hee hee, I'm so giddy, I can't stop smiling!

 **Shizuha:**CTR uses the original Captain Twins as a base, rewritten from the ground up and changing some details.

 **Shizuha:**For instance, they rewrote the script to focus on Tsukasa. It's a familiar world, but still brand-new... I was so excited just reading it.

 **Shizuha:**That story is our very selves. That's why it's evolved. At this rate, in the next one, the ship will start flying and go to space!
