TAMAKI YOTSUBA / RABBIT HOODIE : PART 4
Mar. 30th, 2016 03:02 pm【TSUMUGI】: Oh dear, I hear screaming again.
【TAMAKI】: Manager what's this?
【TAMAKI】: Weren't we doing a birthday party like a graduation ceremony?
I came to the rented studio I was told to but there's a set in the middle of this dark room
【TSUMUGI】: Welcome, Tamaki-san.
I'm your navigator, Tsumugi!
【TAMAKI】: What're you saying...?
【TSUMUGI】: The formal-seeming birthday party was actually a fake!
Tamaki-san, your favourite things are games and snacks, correct?
【TAMAKI】: That's right but
【TSUMUGI】: Having received assistance from an event company, it's a simple setup but we've prepared a birthday quest for you, Tamaki-san!
【TAMAKI】: Seriously!? So Sou-chan was lying!?
【TSUMUGI】: By embarking through the dungeon and answering quizzes correctly, you'll be able to acquire regional King's Pudding, as well as King's Pudding goods!
【TAMAKI】: Incredible——!!!
【TAMAKI】: Incredible——————!!!!
【TAMAKI】:
【TAMAKI】:
【TAMAKI】:
【TAMAKI】: Then this set's a dungeon!? Incredible—! Can I look inside!?
【TSUMUGI】: Yes!
【TAMAKI】: Wait a minute
【TAMAKI】: This isn't a haunted mansion, is it...?
【TSUMUGI】: No, it's a dungeon!
I've heard that "it's a game where you enter a cave filled with monsters, and fight using puzzles and quizzes" from Sogo-san.
【TAMAKI】: I've got a bad feeling. . .
【TAMAKI】: Do I have to go in here or else?
【TSUMUGI】: It's a dungeon designed for you, Tamaki-san!
Clear it before the date changes and let's celebrate your birthday!
【TSUMUGI】: Gather your guts and begin the adventure, please!
【TAMAKI】: Got it. . .
【TAMAKI】: Here I go
【TSUMUGI】:
【TAMAKI】: !! Bl!
【TSUMUGI】: I can hear the screams even from all the way over here...!
It seems that you've encountered the monster at the first gateway.
【TAMAKI】: A bloodstained Yama-san came crawling out!
【TAMAKI】: I'm super scared——!!!!—! He's mumbling something!!
【TSUMUGI】: He's giving you a quiz!
If you answer correctly, you'll be able to acquire limited edition King's Pudding made with milk from Hokkaido!
【TAMAKI】: Yama-san's getting way too serious!
I want him to laugh! He won't laugh! I wanna see Yama-san's smile!!!
【TAMAKI】:
【TAMAKI】: I'm gonna leave!
【TAMAKI】: Who's holding the door shut!? I'm gonna kill 'em!!!!
【TSUMUGI】: It's Banri-san! LOL
【TAMAKI】: I got the quiz right just now!! I got it right! I got pudding! Turn on the lights!
【TSUMUGI】: Congratulations on breaking through the first gateway!
【TSUMUGI】: Oh dear, I hear screaming again.
Have you encountered the next monster?
【TAMAKI】: I'm getting attacked by a scarfaced Nagicchi!
Is that makeup!? I can see his molars through his cheek!
【TSUMUGI】: It took three hours for everyone to do their special makeup! Please take a closer look at it and appreciate it!
【TAMAKI】: A zombified beauty's too scary————!!!
【TAMAKI】:
【TAMAKI】: Sou-chan this isn't a monster!
It's a zombie!!!
【TAMAKI】: Zombies are ghosts!!!!!
【TAMAKI】:
【TSUMUGI】: Congratulations! It seems that you've gotten the correct answer!
You've acquired a pair of King's Pudding boxers!
【TAMAKI】: Aren't there any King's Pudding flashlights!?
【TSUMUGI】: Those haven't made into goods yet.
Ah! Another scream. But, it sounds as if someone else's was mixed in...?
【TSUMUGI】: Huh? Laughter...?
【TAMAKI】: Rikkun wwww
【TAMAKI】: When we bumped into each other, Rikkun got startled first www
【TSUMUGI】: Eeh! LOL
【TAMAKI】: But "this studio has the real thing, too, but they're just happily watching so it's alright"
【TAMAKI】: Are the sorts of extra things Rikkun's going and saying————!
【TAMAKI】:
【TSUMUGI】: Eh, there are real ones here!? In which area!?
【TSUMUGI】:
【TAMAKI】: Alright!!
【TSUMUGI】: Have you answered correctly?
【TAMAKI】: I got it right, and I got Rikkun as a hostage!!
【TSUMUGI】: A hostage!?
【TSUMUGI】: Huh!? Riku-san's scream!?
【TAMAKI】: Iorin grabbed onto his legs and Rikkun screamed!
【TSUMUGI】: Riku-san's being made to serve as a sacrifice, I see.... LOL
【TAMAKI】: Rikkun's being lectured by Iorin! LOL
I'm starting to get less and less scared!
【TAMAKI】: I'm getting told to give Rikkun back but there's no way I'm handing him over———!!!
I'm gonna keep him as my hostage and break through to the goal!!!
【TSUMUGI】: Then, I'll relay a message to you presently, Tamaki-san!
【TSUMUGI】: If you cry, onii-san will wipe your tears
【TAMAKI】: Says the guy who tried to make me cry!!!
【TSUMUGI】: That is all.
【TSUMUGI】: Do your best, Tamaki-san! You're very close to the exit!
【TSUMUGI】: Wah, an incredible scream!
Riku-san and Iori-san are screaming, too...?
【TAMAKI】: Yama-san and Nagicchi are coming up on us from behind!!
【TSUMUGI】: The timer's activated! The date will be changing very soon, Tamaki-san!
【TSUMUGI】: Suddenly, an all-the-more incredible scream!!
【TAMAKI】: Mikki came down from the ceiling!
【TAMAKI】: His eyes are totally white! Even though I really like Mikki's cute face!!!
【TSUMUGI】: I'm hearing scream after scream! Are you doing alright on gift acquisition?
【TSUMUGI】: It seems that you've succeeded at Mitsuki-san's quiz!
Congratulations on acquiring the Aomori limited edition apple-flavoured King's Pudding!
【TAMAKI】: Pale white arms just burst out from the wall!!!
【TSUMUGI】: Allow me to introduce them. It's the person who planned today's event!
【TAMAKI】: I'm gonna drag you out, you bastard——————!
【TSUMUGI】: Tamaki-san, there's no time!
Answer the quiz correctly and head for the goal!
【TAMAKI】: I used Rikkun as a hostage and got him to tell me the answer!!!

t/n:
1. regarding the title, 'dungeon' is written in katakanaglish so I think that we're meant to infer tamaki doesn't actually know what the word "dungeon" means in japanese, but I was too lazy to look up some sort of english equivalent so now it just looks like tamaki has never heard of d&d
2. I'm still exhausted but oh my god the amount of thought sougo put into planning tamaki's birthday has me so emotional evEN IF HIS S SIDE IS SERIOUSLY SHOWING but it's just like!! okay so not only did he somehow manage to throw tamaki off of his trail by pretending it was going to be a boring Not Tamaki Styled birthday party (or he figured out at the last minute Wait Maybe I Should Do Something More Fun and they're claiming the grad party was a front, but I am going to say that I think sougo actually planned to go all out from the beginning), but the actual party was!! so specifically lined up with what it was tamaki would have enjoyed (snacks and games and tangible rewards), and obviously something that was going to take a lot of planning and devotion (they rented out a frickin' studio and did all of the monster makeup and stuff), all for the sake of making it a fun experience for tamaki
NOT ONLY THAT BUT sougo also put his own hopes for tamaki into the setting by incorporating quizzes into the games, but he did it in a way that made them fun for tamaki, AND he also was really specific (or tried to be) about making sure they were all monsters and not ghosts (since tamaki is terrified of ghosts), but at the same time I want to think that it's almost like sougo's trying to encourage tamaki to face his fears? using monsters as kind of like the baby steps
also he had!!! i7 members doing all of the actual game hosting and stuff!!!! since they rented out a studio and everything they could have gotten actors to play the monsters and gone even bigger but instead they kept it in the family and had only the people tamaki was honestly close to involved, which reminds me of how even though it was really cute that he made the bowling lanes during mitsuki's birthday party, it kind of had... like, a lonely feeling? like tamaki didn't have anyone to play with even though like probably a couple dozen people came out for mitsuki's birthday party, so he took the empty plastic bottles everyone else had discarded and lined them uP and even though it's such an adorable image it's so sad sO JUST
KEEPING IT ON A LEVEL THAT TAMAKI COULD BE ENGAGED IS!!!!! SO IMPORTANT!!!!
3. ok but how ripped is banri if he can hold his own against tamaki musclehead yotsuba
4. I love this chat for so many reasons but I'm also terrified by how strongly tsumugi's S shows
5. tamaki's first line is '!!れ!' and his second one has the word '血まみれ' so I'm pretending that 'れ' comes from '血まみれ' and transliterating his first stuttered line accordingly but honestly
I have no clue
6. this is actually hilarious to me bc when I first saw the chat title 'tamaki's dungeon' before reading any of the chats I was like What the Heck why are you celebrating my son's birthday with a duNGEON (and it didn't help that it came right after the chat that was titled 'tamaki and his dad') but suddenly I am super appreciative of this 企画
7. either tamaki got ousama pudding swim trunks in april or he got ousama pudding underwear as some sort of elaborate psychological warfare on the part of either iori or sougo
8. [sougo voice] Welcome to my dark twisted fantasy
9. but did tamaki use riku as a hostage to get riku to tell him the answer, or did he threaten riku to get sougo to tell him the answer
10. btw riku seeing ghosts is A Thing that also got mentioned by him in part 2! he's talked about how he saw ghosts around the hospital all the time iirc
11. honestly I cannot blame riku for being startled because imagine running into a haggard tamaki yotsuba, out of breath and wild-eyed, his cat parka half-falling off, probably with like spare bloodstains and makeup on him from 1v1ing yamato and nagi,
I'm kinda sad we didn't get to find out what sort of monsters riku and iori were meant to be, (or sougo unless his concept was just "pale") but I'm guessing riku probably wasn't a very scary one if tamaki managed to take him hostage
【TAMAKI】: Manager what's this?
【TAMAKI】: Weren't we doing a birthday party like a graduation ceremony?
I came to the rented studio I was told to but there's a set in the middle of this dark room
