Part 1Part 2

Actor	Thank you for today!
Izumi	Of course, no problem. I was able to learn so much myself, I really should be the one giving thanks!
Actor	You're help made the load a lot easier. Can I call you in case we need help next time?
Izumi	Totally! I would love to help out again some time!
	Hnnn? What's the racket over there about?
Actor	Oh, they're preparing for an autumn festival next weekend. We'll be helping them out with the set up and everything else.
Izumi	Ohh! That sounds like it'll be fun!
Actor	It sure is! There's so many stands and attractions to see every year, and it's a great time to experience.
	Ah yeah, another thing, one of your actors specialize in doing your hair and make up, right?
	Yeah, one of our members is also our makeup artist.
Actor	That sounds great. You see, there's this favour I wanted to ask...
Izumi	Hi, guys! I'm home.
Taichi	oh hey Izumi, welcome home!
Omi	Hehh, there's quite a variety of unique foods. They all look great for meal inspirations.
Azuma	You do have some experience helping out for a beach hut a while back, so I think it'd be nice trying to help for a food stand next time.
Taichi	Juza! Look at this! They'll be having a stand for seasonal sweets!
Juza	...Looks delicious.
Izumi	Is something up? All of you look excited.
Taichi	ehehe! We were just talking about this autumn festival that'll be held next weekend!
Izumi	I see, so you've already heard about it?
Juza	Yea.
Taichi	We were looking at the stands in advance!
Azuma	They also have some unique stands, too. Like a beauty salon and a stand for health foods.
Izumi	During a festival? I haven't experienced anything like that before!
Taichi	But they will be having the usual things too, like the ring toss, the shooting gallery, goldfish catching, and yo-yo fishing! I can't really decide which one I want to go to first!
Juza	Hmm... Sweet potatoes, pies, chestnut donuts, potato jelly..
Omi	AHAH, both of you are already struggling to choose, and the festival hasn't even started yet.
Izumi	This does look like it's going to be a big event!
Azuma	Are you going to be there too, Izumi?
Izumi	Actually.. hmm, I mean yeeaahhhh, but...
Azami	Hey, I'm home.
Izumi	Oh, Azami! Good timing!
Azami	Hnn? What's up?
Izumi	What do you think about face painting?
Azami	Face painting?
Izumi	There'll be an autumn festival this weekend, and you see, they have this face painting booth.
	One of the people helping for the festival asked me to see if you'd want to try helping out the stand. What do you say?
	Ehmm, I also heard that the customers for that booth will most likely be kids..
Azami	Ugh, kids, huh...
Taichi	It sounds cool! You should totally help out, Achan! Then I can get a face paint too!
	'Sides, what're you worrying about? You're quite a hit with the kids!
	When we went to help at my sister's kindergarten, she said she liked you so much and that she wanted to marry you when she grows up, remember?
	Hnnrg.. But I will never approve of that!
Azami	I-It's not as if I'll ever marry a child!
Juza	Hehh. That happened?
Azami	ehehe, I didn't think you'd have such an adorable fiancee.
Izumi	As I was saying, about the booth, I wont force you to join, if you want to turn the offer down that'll be okay too.
Azami	...
	It's okay, I'll help.

Actor	Thank you for helping out!
Azami	Sure thing.
Izumi	We're happy to help out!
Azami	Why did you have to tag along, anyway?
Izumi	Ahh, don't mind me. I'll just be looking after you! I also just wanted to see what you're like when you're working.
Azami	You really are a weird one. But I guess that fine. Just don't disturb.
Izumi	I won't! Thanks for agreeing to help out, Azami.
Azami	No biggie... Just taking the opportunity to get to try out face painting.
Girl a	...
Izumi	Uh, Azami? I think you have your first customer.
Azami	Hnn?
Girl a	...
Azami	...
	You here to get a face paint?
Girl a	Yea!
Azami	..Haahh. Okay, get over here.
Azami	There you go, you're all set.
Girl a	Wow, so cool! I'm a cat!
Azami	Be sure not to accidentally touch it and rub it off.
Girl a	Okay! Thank you mister!
Girl b	Wow! You look cute! I want one too!
Girl c	Mister, I want to have a face paint too!
Girl d	Yeah! Me too!
Azami	Okay, okay! I'll paint something on one at a time, so get in a line.
Izumi	(It's not as if I doubted Taichi, but boy was he rigt! Azami is popular among the kids.)
Azami	...Haahh.
Izumi	Great work out there, Azami! They all loved you!
Azami	Nobody gave me a heads up that I would be dealing with a swarm of children..
Izumi	(AHAHA. He does look pretty worn out, though I can see how proud he is of his work. I hope he enjoyed it.)
	You said you don't have any experience with face painting, but you did great with your work.
Azami	Yeah, I did have to work with some special effects makeup for our play Dead/Undead, so it's close enough.
Azami	...Would you perhaps want me to try painting something on you, too?
Izumi	Me?? But what if some new customers come in...
Azami	Ain't much of a crowd anymore, so it'll be okay. Or are you just not into these kind of things?
Izumi	Well... It's not like I would say that..
Azami	So it means you want to get your face painted. Okay then, sit here. What would you like?
Izumi	Ehmm.. A curry please!
Azami	Ugh, why did I even ask?
Izumi	Ehh, was curry not in the options?
Azami	No.. It's just... It's not as if you've heard of anyone ask for a curry face paint before.
Izumi	I dont think you get just how amazing curry really is! There's a variety of them, and are way more colorful than you thi--
Azami	Yknow? I'll just do whatever, so sit properly.
Azami	Okay, done.
Izumi	Aw, it's a flower! That's so cute! And the details are wonderful too!
	Thank you, Azami!
CHOICE 1: Why a flower? [+] Izumi Why did you paint a flower? Azami T-there isn't a particular reason. Just came to me that it would suit you. Izumi Aww... Thank you! Azami 'Sides, if we went home with curry painted on you, the others would only keep teasing you about it. Izumi You think so? I still really like the idea though..
CHOICE 2: Paint a curry next! [+] Izumi This looks cute, but I'd still prefer to have a curry painted. Then maybe you can place it near the flower over here. Azami That's too much. Flowers and curry together? Seriously? Izumi What's so wrong with it? I think it'll be a nice design...
Izumi	Come now, Azami! At least think about considering it for me? Please?!
Azami	Hey, don't get too close!
Izumi	Huh?
Izumi	(I'm sure we were a lot closer when he painted on my face...)
Taichi	Hey Achan! I want to get a face paint too!
Juza	Hey.
Banri	Yo. Heh, look atchu. You really doin face paintin.
Izumi	Oh hey, what brings you guys here?
Taichi	Juza and I wondered how Achan was doing, we wanted to stop by and say hi!
Banri	Just happened to see them on their way here.
Taichi	Yknow what? Why don't we all have our faces painted on and then explore around together some more?
Banri	Tch. Why do you think I'd want to walk around anywhere near this idiot?!
Juza	Back at you, jerk.
Taichi	Cmon, guys! Let's not fight during a festival!
Azami	Don't care what ya'll want to do next. Just come here and let me be done with this.
