[The video cuts to Tsuzuru in his room at the inn with Mizuno, his kuda-gitsune familiar, around his shoulders. A notebook is on the bed next to him along with the books he grabbed at the library opened to different places. He pet his head as he waved at the camera.]

Hello, my name is Tsuzuru Minagi. I'm the scriptwriter for the Kaika Company our director posted about it earlier.

[Please come join us! We're a fun group!]

I'm currently brainstorming for our first play. I've been reading up on different tales in the library but I'm interested in any stories from your world. There are many people from different places that have different stories I'd love to hear about. You can also post them anonymously if that makes you more comfortable.

[If Kazunari was here he would tell him to do something entertaining at the end, but he has no idea what he would do so he waves to the camera instead.]

Hope to see some of you guys at the company soon. Thanks in advance for your help.

You feel like doing a classic? What was it called again? Something about a princess kissing a frog?

[nightwriter]

Oh I forgot the title, but it does sound familiar. I'm sure I can tweak it to work for us. Do you remember the rest of the story?

[whatsamada]

Yeah, I do! The frog turns out to be a prince! He needed a princess to kiss him so he can turn back human.

It's pretty simple but I'm sure the play can add in a few dramatic things to make it more interesting!

Maybe it can take place in outer space or something.

[nightwriter]

Oh yeah that one does sound familiar. It wouldn't be hard to add in something to make it a little more interesting

Outer space? Now that would be interesting a prince going through space to meet the princess that can help him turn back human, but he doesn't know which planet she's on.

I'm going to add this to my list of ideas. Would you be interested in seeing a play like that?

[whatsamada]

I wouldn't mind at all! Maybe we can even add in some ships or even some space pirates into the mix!

[Thank goodness this was over text because otherwise? Ken wouldn't even dare say this kind of thing out loud!]

I think everything would be better with pirates!

[nightwriter]

Now that sounds good! Ships and space pirates I should be able to do something with the space pirates.

[Tsuzuru could help but be reminded of one his little brothers.]

I did a pirate play before and everyone had a lot of fun. I'll definitely write it down for us to do in the future! Pirates are fun to write and space pirates would be really fun. Anything else I should add?

[whatsamada]

Robots should be involved too. It wouldn't be a sci fi space play without them.

[Why yes, this was getting to be over the top. Did he care? Not really, he wanted to see where this would go.]

[nightwriter]

[It's been awhile since Tsuzuru went over the top. He knows he can make something that Ken would enjoy, besides he wasn't home so it would be a good way for him to test out his skills.]

You're right, we definitely have to have robots involved. Now do we have the giant robots that you can ride or the robots that can walk around with other people?

[whatsamada]

Why not both? Wouldn't that make it more fun and exciting? And adds to the mystery of why they're being treated that way!

[Just saying.]

[nightwriter]

Done! We'll add in both! I can even add in a scene where the robots that walk around with people their own giant robot to ride. Anything else you wanted to add?

[He was gonna make this idea happen.]

[whatsamada]

I'm not too sure. I guess you can fill in the details and see where it'll go? I think that's what you're suppose to do as a writer, right?

[nightwriter]

Yes, while that's true I'm also writing a play for an audience that I'm up for suggestions. I'm going to fill in the blanks after I start writing, but it's always good to see what the audience would like to see too.

[whatsamada]

What have they suggested so far? Maybe I can add on to what they have said?

[Because he really wants to see some good story telling with robots!]

[nightwriter]

Let's see, I have Princess and the Frog story in space instead. Somewhere along the play either in the last part of the first act or the beginning of the second act where the robots end up meeting the space pirates. I have one suggestion that the princess is part of the space pirates then another one where the prince is one of the pilots of the giant robots where he meets the princess in space.

I'm going to add in the robots since that's also been suggested to me too. Another version is the robots and pilots of giant robots meet which starts the story of the Princess and Frog that way. I'll change and add things once I start writing, but those are some of the suggestions I have so far. If there's anything you'd like to add I'll add it!

[whatsamada]

[All the while as Ken was reading through this, he wondered if he could add anything more. While he wanted to, he didn't want to make it even more difficult for this writer.

But at the same time?]

I wonder if there can be some kind of epic war going on too. Like how long ago, there used to be some kind of peace between everyone but then something happened to change all of that?

[Ken what are you doing?]
