Psyren 10

GRAAAA!! Death to midnight raws!

edit: done. thx fxu for proof.

and this is just an extra note because i anticipate comments about it, but...I use Tavoo cuz the kana is distinctly different from taboo.
Still, the kanji means "forbidden race", so it really does lend itself to the latter. At least until we get more info, i'm sticking with the V.
Kind of a funny aside, wikipedia link here has an article on psyren, but the more i read it, it sounds like it was based on my transes lol. So that's no help in looking up tavoo.

01
white: Amamiya introduces the woman she calls teacher...
box: ...I don't care about Classical music, nor do I know a thing about it...

-I don't care...but...

-she's amazing...

-...Listening made me feel as if wars would cease if there were just more people like her...

CALL.10 - Matsuri's Story
bold: His special skill...is skateboarding?! Watch him bust a move! (t/n - as you can guess, i'm just being creative. the last part is an unimpressive "easily, [he] flies"...pretty blah)
Iwashiro Toshiaki

SUMMARY - Ageha returns to the present. That night, he falls ill with Psyren's "infection", getting a nosebleed and a high fever. A few days later, he's called out by Amamiya via telepathy. Now he's about to meet Amamiya's "teacher"...?

03
sfx: kinyu (clasp?)
-hm?

-How'd you like that, Sakurako--!!
-That concert was on me, celebrating your safe return home!

-Matsuri-sensei, amazing as always!!

-Ha ha ha, that's right!
-Aren't I amazing?

04
-She played a private concert just for Amamiya

-Yeah!! Amazing!!
-Ha ha ha! You're really enjoying yourself, aren't ya?

-Right there, I got to see
-many things for the first time

-...I guess classical music ain't that bad after all

05
-Ever heard of her? Yakumo Matsuri is a famous pianist, known all over the world!!
-She's always really busy traveling the world giving concerts!

-Oh...that so...?
-What's with that peppy attitude??

-A world-renown pianist? you mean that drunken biker chick!?
-Yo! Sorry to keep ya waiting! Had to change out of those clothes

-Oho!
-Lemme guess...Yoshina...I think...
-....uh...nice to meet you

-You got a handsome face, but
-Man, you're short

-YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S TOO TALL!
-HEY! ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME!?
no bubble: Huh? A scarf in June...?
no bubble: Well, it's cute!
no bubble: I'm just sensitive to the cold

06
-HOOOOOLD IT!!
-Ha..?!
-I finally found you, Yakumo!!

-You've got two interviews for magazines today! And one photo shoot! Your schedule is booked solid!
-So what the heck are you doing here!?

-So you finally showed! Here to lock me up again, manager Kikuchi...!?
-It's Akuchi!!
-I go where I want and do what I want to do! Like I care about some stupid schedule!
-As long as you're hung up on schedules you'll never get a girlfriend!
-I'm just doing my job!!

-Okay, then in exchange for letting me have some time to myself,
-I'll let you watch as I grope Sakurako here. Getting a good look?
-KNOCK IT OFF!!

-Don't tell me...you're planning to go drinking again, aren't you!?
-Look me in the eye! Hey!!

-Oh, so now you're trying to insult me? Is that how it is, Kikuchi?!
-Not at all! I respect you for your talent!

07
-I can't play the piano without a little booze~
-QUIT TALKING ABSURD!

-I'm busy having a meeting here with these people
-It's very important so GET OUT AND DON'T INTERRUPT!

-Did you make sure to call Asaga?
-Yeah. I told him to haul ass and get over here

-Don't worry, he will. People change a lot in 5 years, you know
-Look who's talking...

little sign: cut class
-'sup

08
-Yakumo Matsuri?
-Don't tell me that biker was her?!
no bubble: you got it
-She's just a tall freak

-My, it's crowded in here

-All this junk is in my way!

09
-Look out!!

-It's that strange power again!

-All righty! everyone gather round
-Let's have a chat about Psyren

-I see what you meant by freak
-told ya

-Let's see...oh yeah, let's start with who I am
-Better to get that out of the way

-I've traveled back and forth between Psyren long before you guys showed up. I'm a former Drifter (t/n - note. official term is psyren drifter but i feel this is redundant. i will capitalize drifter to indicate it's used as the term and not just a reg word)
-Basically, I'm someone who's already cleared Nemesis Q's game!

10
-You beat it?!

-Yep!
-I say cleared because my card's value hit zero.
-Now I'm free from being called up by Nemesis Q

-So you must have gone to Psyren tons of times!
-What is that place!? What is Psyren?

-Woah, hold your horses! Your card holds all the answers to your questions
-Both of you have it with you, right?

-The card does?!
-Just take them out, you two!

-Well, truth is that there's a little trick to make it react
-Try holding the card up over your forehead

-There's nothing written on it in the first place...but okay...

11
-A number appeared!!
-48...you mean this is the value left on our cards?

-That's the secret

-Now read the back

WELCOME TO PSYREN
-You will become a participant (aka Psyren Drifter) in this game
-A Drifter is someone who makes a contract with Nemesis Q by their responses to the telephone exam
-The game will continue until your card's value is used up
-Always have this card on hand
-You are to talk to no one about Psyren except fellow Drifters (t/n - yes i know this is two lines, but hey, fits into one)
-Check the map at your starting point
-The tower is dangerous. Unless you're confident, don't go near it.
-Drifters who die will be turned to ash
bottom: Together with Nemesis Q...come leap through time
2nd line - Good luck to all Drifters traveling to change the future---

-W-what the...!?

12
- Only the people who are able to discover this hidden information
- Manage to survive the first round

-...makes a contract with Nemesis Q by their responses to the telephone exam...
-...Check the map...
-The tower is dangerous...don't go near it

-What the hell!! If everyone had known this from the start, then...!!

-Read that last line

-"Together with Nemesis Q...come leap through time. Good luck to all Drifters traveling to change the future---
big text: Change the future (t/n - this is actually cut off, just saying for anyone who wants to leave off letters)

13
-No F'ing way!!

-Leap through time!? You mean that's really the future?!
-What the hell happened then?
-Tell me! Why did Japan end up a wasteland!?

top left: I don't know.
bottom: I'm trying to find that out as well, even though I've already cleared the game

-Why is the future nothing but ruins?

-When does it happen? From what cause? What exactly happened in Japan?
-All of us have to find the answer to these questions!

14
-It was over two years ago that I first traveled to Psyren
-Back then, the urban myth about Psyren didn't even exist

-I traveled between the present and future many times

-To survive...and to solve the mysteries of that world...

-A big one being...those "Tavoo"!

15
-Where the heck did those monsters come from?

-No clue...
-But I'm sure the world's decay and the huge numbers of those monstrous things must be connected

-I encountered them many times
-Judging from my experiences back then,
-I got the impression that those things were created, made by something...or someone!
-created...!?

-The source of those Tavoo is somewhere out there!!
-A person...an organization...or even some other dimension...!

16
-I've decided to work together with Matsuri
-To unravel the central mysteries of Psyren! We must find out the source of the world's destruction!

-Sakurako...

-Right, sensei?

-Amamiya....

-There's still something you haven't told us about
-That "infection"

-You said to us...that we were already
-"infected" by something...
-What is it? Explain.

17
-Oh yeah, I forgot about that!
no bubble: Way to go, Hiryuu

-Thanks for bringing it up
-That's the other reason I brought you here today

-You got both a nosebleed and a fever, right?
-Yeah!
-EXACTLY!
-IT WAS AWFUL!!

-Okay, good...
-Then that means you have the ability to wield the power

-...what...?
-Is that that "Psy" you and Amamiya talked about?

-Bingo
-It's actually a power that everyone has, but just lies dormant

-We call it PSI

18
-There's something within the polluted atmosphere of Psyren
-that can awaken the regularly dormant section of your brain that controls PSI

19
-It is your greatest weapon against the Tavoo
-Starting today, you two are going to learn how to use it

-Become as strong as you can!
-While you still have time before your next battle

-Matsuri-sensei, I think you went a little too far
-Ah!!
bold: Ageha and Asaga now both have this power...!?

CALL.18/END
Next time: Matsuri explains the secrets behind the power of PSI!
