Scanlation available shortly from Gantz Waiting Room. A little Google search should get you there. Enjoy. ---------------- 005 Soga: ...Who are you...//Who/Who are you?//Who are you...
006-007 Docs: Heart rate, breathing, blood pressure and cortisone levels decreasing. Dermal Electric Resistance in augmentation./What about cerebral activity?/We have high-rate, simultaneous emissions of alpha and theta waves from the frontal lobe towards the central sulcus.[tn: I have no way to tell if this actually makes any sense.]
008 Docs: Blood circulation is increasing in the right frontal lobe./And decreasing in the posterior parietal cortex.//10 minutes since inception of the meditative state./5 since deafferentation...//Guess he's about to break into the Land of Light.[tn: A possible reference to the show Ultraman. Hikari no Kuni (the Land/Country of Light) was an alternative name for his homeworld, the M78 Galaxy.]
010 Docs: Urgent report from the Control Center!/What is it?/We have a problem at the Drome./The system has frozen due to an overload. The safety valve has been triggered.//What? *clink* *bzum*
011 *eeeeeeeeeep* *peep peep peep peep* Docs: We have repeated occurrences of beta spindles! He's connecting to the Drome.//The Drome?

013 Gal: Kabu?
014 Gal: What's wrong, Kabu?/Hello. Kabu: Well...
015 Kabu: I have/that sort of feeling, like I'm being watched... Gal: Heh./Aren't you a thin-skinned one.//That thing over there, that's Buddha's Eyes./and the Third Eye-looking thing... well, it's just a symbol./Come on. Let's get going.[tn: The Swayambunath is a temple in Kathmandu (Nepal). Roughly speaking, it is to Hindu and Buddhists what Mecca is to Muslims or Jerusalem to Muslims, Christians and Jews. Predictably it's also a popular destination for pilgrimage. On the mound at the top of the structure (stupa) a pair of eyes representing Wisdom and Compassion is painted on each side, facing all four main directions. These eyes are what people (the Japanese, at least) refer to as "Buddha's Eyes". I found no such name in English (or even in French, for that matter).] Kabu: Let's get going, you say.../Aren't we already there? Everybody's on amp. Gal: We're wasting our time here. This floor's pretty much one big game center.
016 Gal: To them, meditation is just a pretext to have fun on a virtual playground.//Oh well... I must say, everybody falls for it at first, though. There are plenty of kinds of amps to go around, you see. Kabu: Plenty of 'em? Gal: Uh-huh... For example//You have those that fulfill your mundane desires, showing you the futility of it all. Dudes: Eegh./Ahaa... Gal: The cathartic ones, that let you expiate for all the things you're feeling guilty about.//Some guys even come with diapers on, but these are the crazy-prepared ones. Dude: Aaaahhh. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
017 Kabu: Huh... Gal: But that's just fluff for the purpose of drawing in customers. The center's inner citadel is upstairs. Kabu: Inner citadel? Gal: Group sessions./If this was an onsen, that'd be a large public bath. Dude: Uh. Uh. Uhuh. Kabu: Hey./You said everybody got stuck there at first.
018 Kabu: That means you too?/Diapers, and all. Gal: Idiot.//Only the guys do that. Kabu: So./What do girls do? Gal: ...........[tn: Let us not think too hard about that.:hahaha:] Kabu: Duh?/Why are you blushing? Gal: Forget about it. Dudes: Please follow me. Follow me.//Oooh.//Aaah. I see./This is me.//Oh-ho. *pew pew pew* *chirp chirp chirp*
019 Kabu: That's it?/That's the public bath...? Gal: That's right. The "Drome".//The Synesthesia Transzone. A common illusion created by all the participants./There, you will find a world that is a reflexion, and a projection of everybody's true selves.
020 Gal: Since it's your first time, you need to go through calibration first, so you can have a chip made for you. | That chip works as a pass, with your brain's specificities memorized in it. Clerk: Is it your first time? Dude: Uh. Erm. Well. Gal: Then, all you need to do is insert the chip in your prescribed amp and dive in. Dude: Cali. Cabril[tn: The text uses the English word "calibration" directly, which maybe explains why the man's struggling to get it right. That or he's just high.] Clerk: You mean calibration. Well, Seat 14 is currently occupied. Gal: Well, you get the idea. Now since I'm already registered I'll be going right ahead and wait for you inside. Kabu: Hey./Wait up... What do you mean, "inside"? Gal: No problem./One you dive in I'll come looking for you.
021 Gal: Later, then.*crack* Kabu: .........//Heh./Here's a lively one.//She loves it.//Lo and behold. Such enthusiasm. Clerk: Indeed./Huhu./You'll come to enjoy it too. Kabu: Uh-huh.../Maybe, yeah. Clerk: There./Your seat is on the right, outside the tunnel. Number 15.
023 Voice: Drome./Drome./Drome./Drome./Drome./Drome./Drome. Drome./Welcome to the "Drome".//Eden/Eden/Eden./An Eden of meditation spun together by the participants' interconnected hearts and minds./Mind/Mind/Mind/Mind.[tn: 桃源郷 (tougenkyou) can also be translated as "Arcadia", "Shangri-La", and by extension "Utopia".]/Soul/Soul/Souls may act in concert in this place, working towards one another's spiritual elevation and thereby set their spirits free./Free/Free/Free/Free/Free/Free.[tn: WTF WTF WTF WTF.:hahaha:]
024 Voice: The Drome: The runway to evolution./Now your old shell will be stripped away from you./Fly! Fly to the Land of Light. Other voice: Complete/Complete/Complete/Complete
025 Voice: Calibration complete. Kabu: Yeah, yeah, that's right. | I love it. Yes I do. Voice: Take your microchip off the slot and make your way into the lounge.
026 Folks: .........Where.//Where is God?//In the Land of Light?//No. He's still on the way.//Really? I can't believe it. For real? Today's the day?//The time is upon us! The time to prepare and strive towards self-purification is now, this instant. Kabu: Haha... What the heck? They're not even on amps and they're still creaming themselves.//Or maybe they're high on something else. Hair: They worship the Living God.[tn: Hey! I don't remember asking for worshipers.:huh:]
027 Kabu: Uh... Hair: The Living God... A one-of-a-kind, transcendent being./Overwhelming in His radiance. They say those who are touched by His light experience ecstasy, along with total purification and the salvation of their souls...[tn: Salvation in the Buddhist sense of the term.] Kabu: .......... Hair: And the man shows up here at the Drome, from time to time.//Well... That's how the rumor goes, anyway. Never got to meet him personally. Kabu: Hewww... Hair: It's your first time here... isn't it? Kabu: Yeah... Fresh out of calibration./You been here for long? Hair: I've been coming and going for something like a couple of years, now./I forgot. My name's Imai Jun.//Even after two years the path remains unforgiving and salvation still lies very far, far ahead. Art: Image![tn: Pronounced like the French word, i.e "ee-maj". But I'll keep calling him "Hair": Shorter that way.]
028 Art: So you did come./What are you doing here? Hair: Hi, Arthur. How are you doing? Art: Nevermind how I'm doing. Just listen.//Andy said today was the day of Divine Advent./You know about 'em, don't you?/I mean, about Andy's precognition powers and how great they are./Huh? Hair: Uh-huh./That so, Andy?//Mh?/...Aaah.
029 Hair: This is a new participant. His name is, uh... Andy: KAAAAATSU![tn: In Zen Buddhism, the cry of "Katsu" is uttered by those who achieve Enlightenment, or by a mentor seeking to shock his students into attaining it. Those who are familiar with the Narutoverse will no doubt recognize the word.]//You./You're a pumphead, you are. Here on rehab? Kabu: ......... Art: Oooh./The Third Eye! Kabu: Nah... Well. | I mean. Hair: Pft*doooong* Art: Oh./Got some new free spots!*doooong*
030 Art: 35...53.../Let's go. Look. That's four empty seats. Perfect.//Hurry up, Image! | You don't wanna miss out on the Living God, do you? Hair: Well, then./Shall we go? Kabu: From Imai Jun... to Image, is it......? Hair: Yeah./It's common practice to address people by their nicknames, around here.//Speaking of which, Arthur stands for Asada Masanari, and Andy for[tn: It makes more sense in Japanese, where "asa" and "Arthur" sound a lot more similar.] Kabu: Andou? Hair: Correct./Andou Hozumi.[tn: No reading tips are provided for the names, so I go for whatever sounds more likely.] Kabu: Pretty simple, isn't it. Hair: Yep. The names... Are just that. Names.//The name is by no means the person itself./The more you meditate, the more you find out it doesn't hold that much of a meaning... That anything would do fine. /From there...finding a suitable name pretty much comes naturally.
031 Hair: For all the fancy talk about names, however/you're still gonna need something people can call you by. So what will it be? Kabu: ........ Eeeer... Um... Hair: Haha... Sorry. That's my bad./Being asked to come up with a nick on such short notice must suck. Kabu: Heaven. Hair: Eh? Kabu: Heaven./That's my name. Hair: ...I see./Can't get any more spontaneous than that.//Alright, then Heaven./You just take that seat.//Put on your amp and insert the ID chip in its slot. The seat will take care of the rest and carry you to the Drome./Equipping these amps is not much of a change compared to those you'd buy at your local store.
032 Hair: The high, however is a bit different./Oh, well... Just dive in. You'll find out for yourself.//Well, I'm off. See you at the Drome./Have a nice trip! Kabu: .............*scratch scratch* Kabu: Have a nice trip, eh.........?//I think I've heard that one before. Somewhere.*clank*
035 Voice: Welcome to the Drome./Please attune a Form of your own to the Macroform at the dome's center.
036 *vvvvzzzzzzz/vzzzzzuuuummm* Voice: Please align your own Form/along with the Macroform.
037 Kabu: Align yourself this, attune yourself that. | But how am I supposed to go about it? Voice: You'll find a controller on the armrest, next to your right hand./Use it to add your own Form to the Macroform. Kabu: !
038 Kabu: Heh. | That was very kind of you.*click click* Kabu: Oooh./It's working. *beeeeep* Voice: Lock on./That's it for the controller.//Next, you need to visualize./Synchronize your Form's pulsations with those of the Macroform. Kabu: I see./That's the deal, isn't it...//Synchronize./Synchronize...*vzzuummm/vzzzzuuuum* Kabu: You make it sound so damn easy./It's not matching at all.
039 Voice: Your respiration is erratic./Breathe deeply. You'll want to resort to belly breathing. Kabu: Belly breathing.../(That's right...//This is no game shit./It's meditation.) *huff...* Kabu: (Still my heart...//Match)/Pheewww/(the pulsations...//No.//There's no point in trying to force a match to happen./What I need is to visualize........//Abandon yourself.)
040 Kabu: (Just let go. Abandon who you are./Give yourself to this thing...//Don't stay attached. That's what's important./That's right.../Don't let anything tie you down.........) *todom dom todo todom* Hair: ...the more you find out names don't hold that much of a meaning...*dom todom todom dom todom* Hair: That anything would do fine. Kabu: (Yeah.../That's right...)
041 *todom dom todom*[tn: As many times as necessary...] Kabu: (I am "It"./And "It" is "Me".) *TODOM*
042 *wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
043 *eeeeeeeeeep* *shwoooaaaaoooooong*
044 Kabu: Mh?
045 *chirp chirp chirp* *tic toc tic toc* *tic toc tic toc* *vvvvzzzun/vzzzzummm* Kabu: Mhhhh...*plic* Hair: Equipping these amps is not much of a change compared to those you'd buy at your local store.
046 Hair: The high, however is a bit different./Oh, well... Just dive in. You'll find out for yourself. Kabu: Duh? Hair: Well, I'm off. See you at the Drome. | Have a nice trip!*ding dong* Kabu: That scene....../I just saw it happen. *clank* Hair: Excuse me! | I'll just let myself in.//Hi there./Would this be your place?
047 Hair: Hum... That is quite a sight. Kabu: ............ Hair: Ah. Don't mind me.//I see. This is where you usually watch TV./Can I have the remote for a second? Kabu: ........ Hair: Thank you. *plic* Hair: This is what the Drome is supposed to look like, normally.../Natural, organic scenery. | Because quite a lot of people enjoy that sort of environment, you see.
048 Hair: So when I saw such an urban landscape popping out of nowhere/I thought maybe...... I should pay a visit. | You know, just to make sure. Kabu: Uh... Uh. Hair: You are confused, perhaps.//I can understand./Everyone is a bit surprised, the first time. | You hardly expected to have such vivid memories. Kabu: Memories...? Hair: When you dive for the first time/your unconscious brings back up some environment you're closely attached to, whichever place feels the most secure.//Yep. In other words, this room/acts as a buffer zone, so to speak. Before you can break into the Transzone proper. Kabu: Haha/Hahaha. Hair: Good./It's finally starting to sink in./Look.
049 Kabu: ! Hair: Your consciousness is opening up to the Drome./Why don't you take another step forward? Make your own way in? Art: Heeey./Hellooooo.//Get out, will ya./You can't shut yourself away forever. Hair: They're even calling us from the other side./Shall we go? Kabu: Hahahaha. Hahaha.
050 Hair: Welcome to the Synesthesia Transzone./Welcome to the "Drome"!//Hi, sorry for the wait. Art: Incredible. That went down pretty smoothly.
051 Art: You're taking it in pretty good, for a first-timer./You did have all that training from doing pumps. Maybe that's it. Hahaha... Hair: Oh yeah. We don't need this anymore. Kabu: Uh... Hair: I'll erase it. *peeeww* Hair: Now... this./Now to deal with this product of the industry...//How about...*clamp/clamp/clamp* *bffwwwooosshhh*
052 *sshhpaaaaaang* *clap clap clap* Hair: Bah... Anyone could pull these tricks, around here. | It's all about visualization. Art: Which is to say, the first goal of the Drome/is to imprint your conscious mind with what it truly feels like to turn your visions into reality. Hair: If you can return with that feeling into the real world/it can help you develop your psychic powers, so to speak. That's the idea, anyway.
053 Hair: There's something of a pitfall to it, though. Kabu: Whoa Angels: Ciao.♥ Newbie-san.[tn: In Italian, "Ciao" can mean "Hello" as well as "Goodbye".]//Come on. | Stop making fun of the new guys.//But they started it. Launching fireworks, and all. Hair: People who gain such powers/tend to remain caught up.//That's why, you ought to come to terms with the powers you get without them confusing you. | And that, my friend, is the true meaning of the Drome./Gaining power, then letting go of it all, as a base desire. | "Purification". Art: ...Well yeah. Sorry to butt in the middle of such an inspired talk | but thing is, speaking of base desires, the source of our desire comes today. Hair: Uh-huh. Art: There, look. Her influence even extends all the way here.
054 Hair: ...It can't be./Sally?[tn: Sally the Witch, I presume. An anime first run in 1966-67, and the first one to feature the magical girl theme.] Art: Righto. | She never manifested all the way here./This year's the first time, isn't it? Hair: Hey, come on!/Let's move it, guys! Kabu: Who's that? Art: A Witch. We call her Sally-chan. Hair: A Trickster Angel who lavishes dreams all around, with her powers beyond compare.[tn: Itazura Tenshi (Choppo the Mischievous Angel) is another vintage anime by Kyooka Sumiko, about... an angel who pulls pranks, unsurprisingly.]/You're a lucky man, Heaven. | You get to meet Sally on your first participation.
055 Dudes: Did you say Sally?/Sally's coming? Art: We should fly, maybe? Hair: You're right. But... Art: Yeah, I guess Heaven can't. Hair: I'm wondering about that. But it's just his first day, after all. Andy: Let's fly. Hair: Hold it, Andy. Heaven can't... Kabu: Wo/woa Andy: He can fly. Yes he can! Art: Andy's really serious about Sally, he is. Kabu: Whooooaaaaah. Hair: Aaah, crap.//Visualize, Heaven! | See yourself flying./Arthur, grab his arms. Art: Aye, Sir. Hair: Let's go. One, twooo
056 Hair: Three Art: Yahooooo.//Hahaaa. Yeaaah. Hair: Yes. That's it. | Keep visualizing./There you have it. | You're a genius at this, Heaven. Kabu: How large......../The Drome is quite something. Hair: Yep... Newcomers enter at the most remote section of the Drome, you see./We're getting closer to the central area, though.
057 Hair: Story goes, with the creation of the first neuro-amps, someone went to the utmost limits of their spiritual evolution./The Drome established templates out of this transcendant being's superior state of mind and converted them into a program... Art: In other words, that distinguished person is the one we call our Living God.//And that's why... if there's any truth to Andy's predictions/that God might well descend upon us wherever Sally-chan happens to be. Hair: I see. | That sounds plausible enough. Art: Ah. There. I can see it!
058 Hair: Whoops. | Wait up. Wait up!/Can't say I didn't expect it. We have a problem, folks. Kabu: A problem? Hair: Well... It's a lot more austere around here, usually./This place is meant to have a holy atmosphere about it.//Look. Over there./Around the fountain. The mood there is different from everywhere else, isn't it?
059 Hair: The Sacred Fount. | ...Right at the center of the Drome./So many veterans assembled there, visualizing as if their lives depended on it. | Yet they can't hold a candle to Sally in terms of power. Andy: Pfffffuh. Art: Ah. | Andy's laughing. Hair: Bwahahaha. Art: Good going, Sally. Kabu: Woops. Hair: Uh. Hey!//Fly, Heaven. Fly! Art: Visualize. Visualize. Kabu: Ah./Ah. *poof* Kabu: Uh?
060 Gal: Ya-hooooo.☆/Don't overdo it, guys. Boys: SALLY Art: -chan. Gal: Oh my. Kabu!//I didn't expect you to make it here so fast. Boys: Huh? Kabu: ...You?/You're Sally?
061 Monk: Accursed Witch./Foul disturbance unto the Drome...
063 People: It's been half a year, where have you been? | We thought you'd attained Salvation or something. Gal: Haven't had such a wild party in a long time. Hell yeah.//Today's festival day. People: Hey, you already done, Sally? Gal: Not yet. Just taking a break! Art: Still rocking as hard as ever, Sally-chan. Hair: For someone gone so long, it's really not showing. Gal: Yep... My intuitions have finally returned.//Well, I've got the basics down anyway. Hair: Gotta say I'm surprised, though./Can't say I expected you and Heaven to already know each other. Gal: Hm? Heaven?
064 Gal: Ah-hah.../You go by Heaven, then. | Hummm. Kabu: Tsk.//Shut up./Look who's talking, "Sally". Gal: I don't see where the problem is! I'm a witch. Kabu: Suuure. That explains it all. Gal: What kind of attitude is that? Andy: Um, excuse me./I have a question! Gal: Yes? Andy: Ahem. | Do you mind telling me what's going on?/Between you and Heaven, I mean. Kabu: Dealer and customer. Guys: UUUUUUH Art: And which is which, exactly?
065 Kabu: Well, I think it's pretty obvious./I'm the Gal: Clam it.//Let me clarify. Eeeeerm. He is | Well, he's a little brother of sorts, and a pain in the neck. Kabu: Heh. | Yeah, sure.//That's right! Since I'm already bothering you/A witch like you should be able to whip out a cold beer for me. Just like that. | My throat is parched up already. Hair: Well, Heaven, that's Gal: Why don't you make your own?/Everyone's a witch, here in the Drome. Kabu: Ah... Really. Gal: Really./Makes for some nice visualization training, don'tcha think? Kabu: Visualize, eh.../Visualize........ Alright.//(A mug with water drops on it./>Cold.</Real heavy./>Pale-ale.</With a lot of foam...[tn: If you know a thing or two about beer terminology, now's the time to show it. I could use the help.]
066 Kabu: I did it.../Hey, I did it. *clap clap clap* Kabu: A beer./Cheeeeers.//Gulp//Gulp. Gulp.//Gulp//BWAAAAH//Hey, that didn't do anything at all./Feels like drinking air. | It just looks the part but it's not real! Gal: Yep.../An illusion.
067 Gal: Everything you create is just an illusion./I'll push it even further: even your thirst is an illusion./Because you don't have a real body in the first place. Kabu: ...My body./doesn't exist... Hair: You are confident in your own existence, aren't you?//This here is an illusion, however./In this, the Drome and real life are similar. Kabu: Similar...? Hair: When you entered the Drome | I assume you temporarily left any illusion of self behind. Kabu: Ah...
068 Hair: Yes... And you reconstructed a model of yourself once inside./Along with your room. *chirp chirp* *pew pew pew* *chirp* *flap flap flap* *peep peep peep* **gwooooooOOOOOSSSHHHH*[tn: Good luck sorting that out. :dizzy:]
069 *WOOOOOOOOOSSSHHH* Gal: Everyone has already learned something important the moment they entered the Drome. | But not everyone realizes it./Confused as they are by the Drome's magic. Dude: Heeeey, Sally. | You already done having fun?//They're making a comeback.
070 *DUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUDUN* Art: Duh. When did that happen? Hair: Oh-hoo... Monk: Unruly defiler unto this holiest of places./With our Spiritual Barrier of Compassion, manifestation of our Bodhicitta | we hereby confine and cleanse thee.[tn: "Bodhicitta" means "aspiration to Buddhahood".]
071 *gwooom* *zwooom* *zdum zum tudum*
072 *zbraaaooom* *crrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*
073 *fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh* Gal: ...Looks like our little chat is over. Hair: Yep... We showed an opening, and they jumped right into it. Art: Uh?/Hey, wait a minute. | I can't fly? Monk: Spare thine efforts... Whosoever standeth within our Barrier shalt be made powerless!/Ye shall now sink to the bottom of the earth. Art: Eeek.*crack*
074 Hair: Whoaaaah.*crack crack* Andy: It's crumbling away.*BROM* Gal: Fine. | If that's how you wanna play it, let's play it that way./Alright. Pay attention, Kabu.//No, I mean. Eeeerrrm/Heaven.*scratch scratch* Kabu: Bah, never mind that... Gal: What they want is a Utopia./Holy item, free of impurity, and all that jazz. | A diorama set for their meditation purposes, in other words.
075 Gal: I discard all that rubbish/in favor of letting yourself know that everything is an illusion.//This is the way I do things. | This is my awakening.//Sally-style meditation mode.*BOOOOOW*
076 *Bwooom* Monk: DESTROY *PSHAAAOOOOOOM*
077 *fwoosh fwoosh fwoosh* Monks: Humph.../Foolish girl. Art: Sally-chan... Dude: Sally..... Monk: You can't stop us......./It's too late, no matter how powerful you are.*fwoosh fwoosh* Monk: We are the Circle of Wisdom and Piety./Our Winds of Clarity and Pureness cannot be stopped. Gal: Go ahead./Keep going around all you like. *gwoosh gwoosh gwoosh* Monk: Mh?
078 Monks: Nuooooooaaah//Yaaaaaiiiiieeeee*gwoosh gwoosh gwoosh* Gal: Found an opening. *SWIPE* Monks: WHOAAAAH
079 *poof* People: Oooh./Oooooh.
080 Gal: Alright, everyone. The party continues./Mahariku Maharita/Yanbarayaaaaaaan.[tn: Sally the Witch's magic formula. Feel free to replace with "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo".] People: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH
081 Monk: Kh...*gwooosh gwoosh gwoosh* Monk: Damn you, Witch... We aren't done yet./I'm gonna kick you out of the Drome or die trying.//I'll see to it personally. Horse: This is unbecoming.. Monk: Uh. Horse: Resentment and bitterness, envy and jealousy.//These are the roots whence derive all conflicts./All these things are unfit for the Drome. Monk: Who/Who are you...?
082 Horses: The Drome is originally meant/as a place for people to pursue Salvation and Enlightenment. Monk: Hic//Wh wha-wha-wha Horses: People who should let go of the secular world and its delusions/Are abasing themselves in a petty squabble for hegemony./On the other hand, those who stirred the embers of war Monks: Who are you. Just who in the world are you? Horses: They pose another problem, that much can't be denied.*Wooooooooosh* *wooooooooosh* Horse: Yes. Which is why, for the present
083 Horse: The bones of contention are to be removed........... *PFWWWOOOOOSH*
084 Hair: Incorrigible! | These guys will never learn. Gal: Wait./Something's not right.
085 Hair: What........ are they doing?
086 Kabu: Um./Hey... Aren't they kinda glowing somewhat? Hair: ...No way! Kabu: What? Hair: Well... The story goes that in the Drome,/those who are close to Salvation give out an aura that is visible to the naked eye. Kabu: Seriously? Art: So they're all..........
088 *vzum vzum* Hair: Separation... Kabu: Salvation? Art: Not salvation. Separation from the Drome. | They withdrew back into the real world.[tn: "Separation" is less accurate than "withdrawal", which is what Image actually meant here. But the word "withdrawal" makes Kabu's confusion and Arthur's comment come off as unwarranted and pointless, as they're really hard to mistake for one another.] Kabu: Heeey. Wait for meeee.
089 Kabu: Wooops. Hair: Gone without a trace......... | And the merry-go-round too. Art: This is weird. | A bug in the program, maybe? Kabu: Huh?//Ain't it just a matter of visualizing?/Vanishing them, I mean. Hair: To alter something or make it disappear/you must have enough juice to overpower the one who created it.//And I seriously doubt these Diorama fuckers can pack that kind of muscle......... Art: What the Hair: Mh?/What's wrong, Arthur? Art: This...
091 *shpoof poof bwoosh bwoosh bwoosh* *bwoosh* Hair: Wha | What the Art: Perhaps it's really a bug? Maybe?*shwoopf* Gal: ! Art: Hah
092 *vzum vzum* Hair: Masters? Kabu: I... I know that dude./I saw him on that TV show......... Gal: Masters........../Whipping out the big guns, are they.........
093 People: Masters./This is the first time I ever see 'em in person........//Same here./Under normal circumstances, they seldom get out of the VIP room. So we don't get to see 'em all that often......... *perk* Soga: Huff
094 Soga: I am not too fond of the idea of exposing myself./Especially not with so many people staring at me........ Kabu: Mh?/He kinda sounds like a frog. Ya now, it's like the guy was speaking through his nose. Weird. *perk perk* Soga: I chose to come forth regardless, and here's why./The cute little me couldn't watch indifferently as the Drome, my adoptive hometown was being laid to waste. Kabu: Cute little me? .........Okaaaaay.*scratch scratch* *perk* Soga: You!/The old janitor lady! Gal: !//O-Old lady? Soga: Ah... Sorry./I meant janitor girl.//Listen. If you wanna start a festival or throw a party here/well, that is your decision. But you see*wriggle wriggle*
095 Soga: The quarrel that started because of it is not a good thing at all. | And to make matters worse, you actually revel in such conflict......... Gal: Ugh... Soga: Indeed?/By your fault, the Drome has been filled to the brim with ill-will and jealousy./Such a sad thing, it is. Gal: And that's why you're going to boot me out./If you want a piece of me, act on it already. Like those Diorama folks did! Soga: I wouldn't say such disreputable things, if I were you./They withdrew merely because I gave them a little nudge in the right direction. Amaki: Certainly you know this........../but you can't forcibly Separate someone no matter how powerful you are.//It's at the core of the Drome's programming./Powerful people would just do whatever they please otherwise. Soga: Yeeeaah.//But... here's a little secret, m'kay?/See, you can prod someone else into Separating willingly. | Let's take you, for example.
096 *sbaf* Art: Wha...//ASSHOLE, WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING TO SALLY-CHAN? *boink* Art: Ugh...
097 Gal: Stop it./Don't touch the others. Your quarrel is with me and me alone.//Let's strip her naked cause she won't be able to bear it, right? Hair: Sally... Gal: Go ahead, I'm ready to show it off any time. | It's not my real body, after all./It isn't real. Just an image, that's it. Furu: Uh-huh.../This isn't his real body either, then. Art: Ah./Aghaa. Furu: A human's brain features a map of their entire body, accurate down to the smallest details./Which is why the projection of it into the Drome is so true to the original.
098 Furu: A little diet, maybe? Art: Aaaayyyyyee. Gal: That's enough, right there. Cut the crap. *zwooom* *tchrrrr* *thud* Art: Hah Hah/Hah. Hair: Arthur.
099 Furu: You are the Witch of the Drome... I see./And you appear to have some fight in you. Gal: Humph./And I'm not the only one who enjoys conflict, now am I? Soga: Hey... Stop that, Furubashi-kun./You are losing control. Amaki: At the risk of sounding repetitive, we do hate conflict./But if conflict we must... we'll show no hesitation. *zip* Hair: Andy. Soga: Oh-hoh./The Combatant of Love enters the stage. Gal: Andy, don't./You don't have to do this.
100 Gal: Please./Stop it. *whhhhheeeeeeeeeeeooooooooosssshhhh* Soga: You need to remember something.........
101 Soga: Even in the real world, my cute little self has the ability to move objects through sheer visualization./To say nothing of the fact that we're in the Drome here. | Surely you know what that means. Resistance is pointless.//On top of which, you are wrong./Stripping you naked...? I have no intention to abase myself to this.//It's not your nakedness I want everyone to see.*snap* Soga: But this. *clang* Soga: There. Raise your hand./So that everyone can see it. Gal: Keh.
102 Soga: Oh, my. I see traces of something here. | Shall I make the image of it a bit clearer?*snap* *pshh* Soga: Alice./So that's where you get your power.//In other words.. What I'm trying to say/is that I want you to stop using this to turn the Drome into a chaotic mess.//Right?Everyone agrees, am I right?
103 *chatter chatter* Kabu: I don't./What's so wrong with doing pumps anyway? *perk* Kabu: Someone told me/the drugs merely flip on the switch... The rest is just your own brain at work........
104 Kabu: Whatever you see, whatever shows up has nothing to do with the drugs./It was there inside your brain all along, that's all there is to it.......... Soga: Would you look at that./That's some pretty philosophical talk for a pumphead. Kabu: That's enough, don't you think? | You've already more than adequately proved your point. Soga: Seeing you pumpheads taking pity of each other like this.........../I think I'm gonna cry.
105 Soga: But my greatest worry of all... /is your utter lack of balance./Like the one with the headband here, for example./His balance is out of whack. | He doesn't even know his own place in the world.//What I'm trying to say... is that people who lack balance | are unable to react suitably to any given situation........... Kabu: Hey, there. As far as lack of balance goes, looks like the pot is calling the kettle black./My cute little self's ears can't help but perk at the sound of it. *perk perk perk*
106 *bof* Gal: ! Kabu: Uh...? Hair: Heaven... Gal: That's enough./He's just a beginner. Soga: I am quite aware./I am merely extending a special little gift........
107 Soga: Pumphead Philosopher-kun./You are here because you wanted to evolve, are you not?//I shall grant you your wish......../Salvation. *swoosh* *whoop*
108 Amaki: ... You just sit back and watch./Soga-chan doesn't extend such goodwill every day. You wouldn't want to ruin that. Andy: Uugh... Soga: Thank you, Amaki-kun...//The rest I leave up to you. *dududududududun* Soga: For I am about to enter the next level/a place beyond the reach of any spoken words............
109 *gwoooooooooosh*
110 *CLAP* *tilt tilt* Soga: Hah
111 Hair: Duh...?//What's this?/He just started dancing for no reason. Art: Haha... Furu: You find it funny?/Why don't you laugh, then? Amaki: Humph...
112 Furu: That's it. Laugh!/Laugh until the mirth attains its peak. People: Haha.../Hahaha. Furu: Ummm. | Quite the dull audience, we got here. I'm disappointed. Hair: Uh...? Art: What's going on, Heaven...? Hair: Uh.
113 Gal: Kabu...?
114 Hair: What's up...?/What the hell's going on?//Hypnosis?/Just what is he doing? Furu: Nataraja: Shiva the Dancing God.[tn: According to Wiki, "(one of) the purpose(s) of (Shiva's) dance is to release the souls of all men from the snare of illusion." There's more, but I think this one applies best to what's happening here.]/He's calling upon the Shakti that slumbers within him.
115 Hair: Shakti?[tn: Shakti is a goddess, as well as an omnipresent force of creation, change, and liberation. To quote what a famous Sage said, "Use the Force, Luke".] Furu: Indeed... He Awakens himself, and in so doing he gains the ability to open somebody else's chakras.[tn: No, not that chakra, this isn't Naruto. Wiki it, the concept is too complex to explain in a handful of words.]/This is a dancing technique unique to Soga, that allows transmission back and forth between the other party and himself. Hair: Wha...//No way./You mean Shaktipat? As in, Kundalini Awakening?[tn: Basically what Soga is doing, i.e Awakening another guy.]
117 Gal: You're in the Med-center at the dome, diving./Remember the dome. | Remember and you you'll be able to Separate./Kabu.*eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Amaki: Don't bother./His Throat chakra: his Vishuddha is already opening.//He's entered a realm beyond words./He can no longer tell the difference between reality and illusion. *bwoom* *shwiiiing* Andy: !
119 *crack* Gal: Ah... Hair: Wha/What the hell is that? Amaki: The Brow Chakra, or Ajna./His Inner eye, as they call it is starting to open.//This is a field of supra-individuality that transcends the self. | There, all sense of distinction between yourself and others is gone, and you become one with the world...//In real life, attaining such a level would cause paranormal manifestations./Let' not even touch upon what would happen in the Drome.........
120 Amaki: That's right... You are in the palm of the Buddha's hand./The Drome is now a direct representation of Soga-chan's mind. *GWWWWOOOOOOOSH*
121 *wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* Amaki: Now it's his turn. | Let us have a look at what a pumphead philosopher's soul looks like. Gal: Stop.../Please stop him, I'm begging you. Furu: Nothing to worry about. | He'll Separate automatically upon losing consciousness. ...Well, that's the likely scenario./The extreme beatitude will be too much for him to bear.
122 Kabu: Ah... Amaki: Or not... He's putting up quite a bit of a fight./These Diorama folks never made it that far. | Perhaps I should praise you... for doing such a great job of it. Furu: Aaawrite, don't you give up, pumphead. | Enlightenment is close at hand. Kabu: Ha...ah. Hair: That's totally reckless... | One mistake, and he'll go crazy. Art: Eh. Hair: An over-precipitous ascension during Shaktipat could result in the destruction of his sense of self./Squashed flat by the energies of his own Archetype. *spluuurrrrrrt* Gal: Ah...
123 *wheeeez* *splurt splurt* Gal: No.../This is no good... *SPLUURRRRRTT* Furu: Oh-ho... Kabu: Augh...
124 *squirt/pshht/splotch* Kabu: Gasp...*PRRRRLLLLLLL* Art: THAT is Heaven's Archetype? Hair: The suppressed energies of his subconscious are gushing out. Furu: Good... Purge out all the pus!/Evolve. Gal: Stop it.../Stop it...
125 Gal: Don't resist, Kabu./Just let go./Abandon everything.*wheeeeeeeeeee* Amaki: Do not interfere. Gal: ...I beg you.../Separate... please... Kabu: ........... Amaki: That's it. Show us.../Let us see what your soul looks like. Gal: You're mad.../You people are crazy.
126 *wheeeeeeeeeeee* Art: Aah... ah...
127 *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH* Soga: ...Who are you...?
128 Soga: Who./Who are you? People: Paradise./Paradise./Paradise. Gal: Kabu. Soga: Who are you?/Who are you? Hair: Heaven... Kabu: (I am........)
129 Kabu: (I am it/and It is me.) People: Paradise./We're going to Paradise./Yep... That's it.//It's Paradise.
148 *wooooooooooooooooooosh* People: Eeeeek./It's tossing us around.//Ugh/Whoa.*sproffffff* People: Uuuuh...//!
149 *plish plish* People: Wh...//Whaaaaaaaaargh./It's freezing. Run for it. *vzum* Hair: I | I'd love to say we should run away, but where to?*vzum* *vzum* Hair: Ugh//God damn it, there's no choice but to Separate.*vzum* Gal: Don't run away./Please, we can change this if we all work at it. | All we need is focused visualization. Hair: Sally.
150 Gal: Please,everyone. We have to stop Kabu./We have to stop Heaven. *AAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGH* Hair: That's just... | He's powerful enough to obliterate 'em Masters. How could we? Gal: Together./We must all visualize in accord... Hair: SALLYYYY Gal: It's no use... | My consciousness is fading away./I'm going to Separate...

Covering everything.//From there, the consecutive participants would shape it to their own likings, developing it in the process.*fshaa fshaaa...* Hair: Of the initial body of water, only a vestige remained, in the form of the Sacred Fount. | And now//it's back to what it originally was.*fshaaaaa*

06) 1: splat 2: So... 3: Kuh... 4: So what this means is, I... 5: swam? 6: Hoo...
07) 1: Yes. 2: Bro, you did a 180 right around the lake! 3: You looked over here from the other side. 4: Then I waved my hat back to you. Remember? 5: And then...ku ku ku, 6: all of a sudden, 7: you went splashin' in! Guheeheehee! 8: Heeeeeheehee!
08) 1: I went halfway around the lake, 2(2b): looked over here, and then swam in...that's it? 3(2b): Yup, that's it. Took about 15 minutes. 4(2b): See? Ain't no fuckin' vitamin, was it? I can see it all over your face. 5: Heh. 6: Hey...I 7: said I wanted P, didn't I? 8: Like I said, it's a specially-made one. 9: That was no goddamn P! 10: I can't even count the times I've done P... 11: From the cream of the crop to the shit at the bottom of the barrel.
09) 1: But that... 2: That hallucination...was from no P. 3: Wooow... 4: It really seems like you got along well with it, bro. 5: That's right... 6: Ultra Heaven... 7(2b): Yeah, it's Ultra Heaven! You flat out told me! 8: I did? 9: Yeah, I know you said it. 10: When? 11: Back then, you know... 12(2b): In your hallucination? Then it's gotta be some name you thought up yourself, bro.
10) 1: Tch! 2(2b): Heh heh heh! Just accept it already! You saw one didn't, you? A Grade-A cosmic hallucination. 3: Yeah...I accept that. 4: It certainly wasn't no vitamin. 5: That's why I'll pay you. 6: But that was no P, dammit! 7: That's the one thing I refuse to accept! 8: Alright...fine by me. 9: As long as you pay me, what do I care what you think? 10: Tch! 11(2b): Well...if you want me to be honest, though, it wasn't the drug that was specially- made -- it was you, bro. 12: Huh? 13: Drugs aren't what show you hallucinations, you know.
11) 1: They just push the switch. 2: Then it's all left up to your own brains... 3: Whatever you saw, bro, the truth is... 4: it's just a reflection of the way your head's built. 5(2b): Heh! So my brain's what's messed up here? 6: Yup...it's like a type of disease. 7: Although...insanity is a kind of talent, you know? 8: Want me to prepare another? 9: Heh...

That gaping hole that's been opened up inside you... 6: Keh! 7: Don't act like my counselor, you pusher... 8(2b): Yeah...everyone can feel that hole...a lot of people try to get addicted to something in order to fill it. 9: The thing is, bro...your hole is a little different from theirs.
15) 1: What...? 2: You probably haven't realized it yourself, 3: but you're giving off a strange aura, bro. 4(2b): An aura? You can see things like that, man? 5: gapop 6: goosh 7: gapop 8(2b): Yup...I can see 'em. Disease auras.
16) 1(2b): Heh...you're the one who...you gave this disease to me! With that drug... 2: gapop 3(3b): Nope. The drug just showed you the hole. Your brain's the one that dug it. 4: What is this hole you keep talking about?! 5: goosh 6: gapop 7: Hueh... 8(2b): An abyss that feeds on insects...a cleft in space and time. 9: Buechoooo

45) 1: Hey, Kabu... 2: There's something I want to ask you. 3: You said you threw up after playing an Amp once, right? 4: Amp? 5: Yeah... 6: Is that the only time you ever played one? 7: Yeah. 8: ...why? 9(2b): Nah...I just had an idea. Can I turn on the TV? 10: Huh?
46) 1: ...In other words, acknowledging that what we perceive as reality 2: is nothing more than a virtual world created by our brains...is the first step. White text: Meditech Co. Representative Kiriyama Taichou 3: For example, there's a spoon here. 4: Please hold this for me. 5: It's a JTV Special Science Investigation Team Special. 6: This was broadcast last Fall. 7: This is a stainless teel spoon, correct? 8: This Kiriyama guy is the one who created the Meditation Center. 9: He used to be a physics Professor. 10: Yes...it is definitely a spoon. 11: I hear that before he started the M-Cen, he was researching the brain at the Sanitation Department...
47) 1: The Sanitation Dept...? 2: Incidentally, this spoon you are seeing is actually anything but a spoon... 3: It is an image of a spoon built by synapses firing in your brain. 4: Matter is no more than energy clumping together, 5: in this sea of energy we know as the world. 6: We call the countless waves floating up and down on the surface of this ocean things like matter, space, and time. 7: You see, the surface of this ocean is none other than our own consciousness. 8: I see...and so the things detecting order from these waves and giving meaning to them are our brains... 9: Indeed.
48) 1: According to the Quantum Theory, 2: data processing in our brain happens through the breakdown of wave functions in quantums. 3(2b): Tch! This guy makes no sense. 4: What the hell does this have to do with anything...? 5(2b): Just be quiet and keep watching. You'll understand eventually. 6: What is that which gives these waves form, then? 7: What determines their movements? 8: This, of course, is all governed by the undulations of the entire ocean. 9: In short, one wave can represent the entire ocean's motion state... 10: You could also say that even one elementary particle is still expressing data of the entire universe. 11: I see.
49) 1: Everything is simply data being expressed. 2: If you get down to the core of elementary particles and energy, they are both nothing more than pieces of data. 3: Our consciousnesses are high density data houses. 4: However, we do not see waves and undulations of the sea. 5: ...so what you're saying is that an invisible, high-level theory of order exists in the universe...? 6: Yes...we, especially in dreams, 7: or other special states of meditation, can sometimes catch glimpses of this. 8: Not only that, but we can sometimes even swim in the ocean or exert influence on its waves. 9: ...which means? 10(2b): Hm...? That's...an Amp? 11: Yeah...The most advanced type there is, created by the M-Cen.
50) 1: As our consciousnesses are data houses, 2: we therefore serve an indispensable role in the universe. 3(2b): Normally, this data house transmits data outwards -- in other words, we are open to the world, but by phase transitioning to the inside, 4: we can interfere with the quantum process of elementary particles. 5: With the quantum process...? 6: What exactly does that mean? 7: This...
51) 1: Eh...? 2: gnyooo 3: Th 4: This is
52) 1: Y... 2: Your doing...? 3: Excuse him...he currently resides in a dimension that is beyond speech. 4: Huh...? 5: Of course, something like this requires intense training. 6: But...do you at least understand that it is not impossible? 7: Well...I'm surprised, alright. 8: I never thought that...
53) 1: Everything rests on the power to create images. 2(2b): Consciousness and matter are two mirrors facing each other. The brain is an imitation of our universe. 3: Right after this broadcast, people flooded the M-Cen. 4: ptsn 5(2b): The place became incredibly prosperous, and I just couldn't stand to go anymore. 6: So...they're popping out superhumans left and right now? 7: Of course not. 8: Most people are just there to give donations. 9: There does seem to be some truth to it, though. 10: There's a handful of people there who can say they're in the upper echelons. 11: I wouldn't really want to get close to any of them, though... 12: Why not?
54) 1: They're insane. 2: It's like they can't tell the difference between their dreams and reality. 3: For example, that guy who bent the spoon just now. 4: He was supposed to be in some dimension beyond speech, right? 5: I think...Kiriyama was just trying really hard to keep the guy from talking. 6(2b): If it hadn't worked, and the guy did talk...then it'd be totally apparent just how scattered he really was. 7: People with potential are suddenly shot up to the advanced stages, you know. 8: Then all of a sudden, they're being twisted around by the very powers they've worked toward developing. 9: Well? 10: Doesn't it sound a little similar to the way you are right now?
55) 1: You probably haven't realized it yourself, 2: but you're giving off a strange aura, bro. 3: An aura of disease. 4: Hey... 5(2b): Speaking of which...didn't you mention something about my aura while back? 6: ...yeah. 7: Well, what was it like? 8: What was it like...? 9: ...I can't really describe it accurately with words... 10: I'm 11: gonna go grab the Amp. 12: Eh?
56) 1: It'll be quicker if you try it yourself instead of listening to me try and explain. 2: I'll be right back, so just wait here. 3: Yeah... 4: ...OK. 5: Got it? Don't move one inch and just wait here, promise? 6: I want you to stay frozen on that couch! 7: Alright... 8: I'm tired, so I'm gonna sleep. 9: OK! I'll be back in a flash then! 10: ka-chan
58) 1: Everything rests on the power to create images. 2: The brain is an imitation of our universe. 3: The power to... 4: imagine...
59) 1: cuckoooooo! 2: slam
60) 1: slam 3: Eww, c'mon. 4: What's wrong with you all of a sudden? 5: Ohhh, what a waste. Come ON! 6: What are you doing...shit! 7: clang 8(2b): don't know if you're really having a Flashback or whatever, but you really need to cool your head.
61) 1: Heh. 2(2b): Heheh, heh... 3: splat
63) 1: Hoo
64) 1: clang 2: bam 3: kong 4: Kabu? 5: grip
67) 1: vvvrrrrrrn 2: kashah
68) 1: kashah
69) 1: Brainwaves flat! 2: He's entered Penumbra!
70) 1: It seems like he's just barely managed to sustain life on the brainstem level. 2: For the time being, we've managed to cut off the increasing of neurons... 3: vviiin 4: kashah 5: The axon of the newly-born core in the third ventricle has reached through the pons to the reticular formation! 6: kachah 7: It's preventing him from waking up... 8: Until just a moment ago, it had only reached the hippocampus... 9: Now it's route is taking it even farther out into the cerebrum!
71) 1(2b): His memories have most likely been restructured...and the functions of his entire cerebrum are stopped at the moment. 2(2b): Alright, let's administer Metalium once more. I want to try and prevent the destruction of his "self"... 3(2b): Understood. Administering Metalium.
72) 1: psh
73) 1: The new core has responded. 2: It's begun to activate from the diencephalon now...
79) 1: What are you doing...? 2: C'mon! 3: I thought I told you to stay still! 4: Idiot...
80) 1: Hmmm. 2: A new type... 3: And so...one of that drug's after-effects 4: is that you lose your memories and see weird dreams? 5: Yeah... 6(2b): Food appearing in front of me all of a sudden that had to be prepared by someone...dishes put away that I don't remember cleaning... 7: Does this have something to do with the dancing spaghetti? 8: Yeah...probably.
81) 1: I see. 2: So it's a drug that has the same effects as an Amp... 3: Long ago when LSD first started going around, it was called Instant Zen... 4: There's this guy who jumped. 5: He...thought he was really sleeping, and that this world was a dream. 6(2b): He said he'd just wake up, and jumped off Spiral Tower... 7: Heh. 8: Makes you wanna laugh, huh... 9: ...so the weird dream you saw 10: seemed that real, huh...?
82) 1: Yeah...it was real. 2(2b): If that was a dream, then this moment, right now, might as well be part of time one too. To be honest, I... 3: feel like I'm starting to lose track of what is and isn't reality... 4: No. 5: I got it. 6: Eh...? 7: Yeah...I finally got it. 8: Reality is virtual...
83) 1: That's right...this is a dream. 2: I'm just a character in the dream your brain's created... 3: Hey... 4: Ahahaha! You took me seriously? 5: Ahahahahahaha! 6: Tch... 7: You've gone crazy, Kabu. 8: Just like those advanced Ampers.
84) 1: Maybe you'd better just go and get your head checked out at the Sanitation Department? 2: I'm sure they'll make you feel aaaall better. 3: Heh! 4: Then I'll be guaranteed to see a nightmare. 5: That's not even funny. 6: You don't want to? 7: Hell no! 8: Then the only thing left to do is open up your brain and check it yourself. 9: Shall we get started?
85) 1: I'm just saying, you shouldn't expect too much at the start. 2: First you need to get used to the Amp.
86) 1: Your forehead...does it hurt? 2: I'm fine... 3: This is a version old, so it's a little heavy. 4: Relax, 5: Straighten your back. 6: First I'll set up everything for you. 7: Yeah... 8: All you need to do is relax, Kabu.
87) 1: Do you 2: log on with other people a lot? 3: Not with just anyone. 4: Of course not. 5: Hmm... 6(2b): Ready? We have to breath from our stomachs. Here we go. 7: Tandem Mode ON. 8: One, twoooo 9: klik
88) 1: Haha... 2: I get it.
89) 1(2b): This...isn't bad. This feeling of exhaustion. 2: Mmmmmm... 3(2b): Now I get why you're so addicted to this. I remember a Pump that was kinda like this. 4: It was called Rodan...
90) 1-2: Kabu 3: Wake up, Kabu. 4: Eh? 5: C'mon, hurry it up. 6: Sit back up straight.
91) 1: Yeah... 2: The fluctuating magnetic field is 3: messing with my 4: sensory input 5: I'm already used to that...are you alright? 6: Haha... 7(2b): I'm used to it too...Perolinga's Bar Doc had a drink called Baltan XO that tasted just like this. 8: Really?
92) 1: How about this, then? 2: Hey 3: Hey! 4: Or thiiiis? 5: Stop playing around with me! 6: This isn't play. 7: This is calibration. 8: Tone testing and bias regulation. 9: The Amp is measuring the sensitivity of your little noggin.
93) 1: Results should be coming any minute. 2: Look ahead. 3: krak 4(2b): Can you see? The little universe with each of us. 5: This is the neuron activity pattern the Amp's calculated.
94) 1: While it is an extremely simplified geometric expression, 2: that's our basic OS, 3: Hold on, I'll 4: put them together... 5: chree... 6: Oh... 7: Ohh 8: I'm feeling kinda anxious... 9: Your device has begun auto-tuning, 10: trying to synchronize with this one.
95) 1: Does this mean...your brain's activity pattern is lowing into mine...? 2(2b): Loosen up a little. You're slipping more into mine. 3: I'm going to try and fit it completely into yours! 4: nyuroon 5: bibib 6: bi 7: Huohh 8: Oh 9: Normally both parties come together and make one vessel, but since you're a beginner... 10: zubyu 11: nupoo 12: piq 13: brooo 14: Heh...but you like people going into you more than you going into them, right? 15: Fufu 16: Seems like you're back to normal now. 17: It's easier for mine to ride into modes like that... 18: Ohh. 19: zunyu 20: ...aaand lock. 21: klik
96) 1: koton
97) 1: Hoo
98) 1(2b): Wow...so this is how you see things... 2(2b): It's no more than an approximation. A mix between you and I. 3: You're someone who really doesn't worry about the details, huh...? 4: Well excuse me. 5(2b): Have you been experiencing any bad symptoms from Pump addiction? Getting too obsessed over a certain something? 6: Man...sorting things out goes so fast... 7(2b): We can't let ourselves get immersed here! I'm going to raise the level up one just like this, all at once. 8: klik
99) 1(2b): Your brain gets used to things really quickly, but once it does, it's all over. No matter how much you struggle, you'll never be able to progress further. 2(2b): It's like the launch of a shuttle. Escape speed is essential. 3: Ready? Follow me close now. 4: Yeah. 5(2b): I'm starting to get kinda...excited. What should I do? I can't stop it!
100) 1: I know! 2: I feel the same way! 3: That's the scary part about Tandem! 4: When you connect with someone, one single emotion snowballs higher and higher. 5: These are Magnetophosphenes! 6(2b): Neurons overreacting in eddy currents. This is a reflection of our excitement!
101) 1: I feel like I'm going to go beyond pure excitement 2: and turn my body inside out! 3: Hold it in. 4(2b): If we can get past this, we'll clear this stage. That's why it's important to breathe from the stomach. 5: I'm gonna puke... 6: Uwaaaaaah, stop it! I don't want to see any more spaghetti! 7: Uuu 8: Don't say that, you dumbass... 9(2b): Your altered consciousness switch is mixing with the central vomit nerve on your brainstem. This is the same thing that made you fuck up with P that one time. 10: Haha 11: Oh, so that's it. Hahahaha!
102) 1(2b): Hahahahaha Goddammit! I don't know whether I feel good or bad! 2: Be careful, Kabu! 3: Because of the Tandem effects, the waves of your emotions will get more violent! 4: If you get swallowed in by them, you'll feel satisfied and everything will end! 5: Drowning in a whirlpool of tears and smiles, 6(2b): foolishly devouring all the energy. A sweet trap. 7: You have to try and ride on the waves, shoot through them somehow.
103) 1: This is the key to opening the door of perception... 2: It's important not to get attached. 3: Don't be taken in by anything, 4: and always keep your eyes on yourself. 5: Your other self, 6: now with you...
104) 1: I've barely finished talking, 2: and you're already totally into it, Kabu.
105) 1: Alive... 2: the sofa, too 3(2b): and the table, walls 4(2b): One moment at a time, the earth is being reincarnated, ceaselessly...
106) 1: This is Level 2. 2(2b): Your brain's automated data processing has stopped. You're just like a newborn child.
107) 1: The reason why most people have no memories of their infancy 2: is because memories are the first thing data becomes after it is processed. 3: Right now, we are in a fluctuating quantum world 4: that existed before any of that. 5: A sea of energy, was it...?
108) 1: ...everything looks like a hallucination. 2: It's like a flood of hallucinations! 3(2b): The reality we normally perceive is nothing more than the most vast, largest factor of hallucinations in existence. 4: If calculations stopped, the world would turn into an eternal mystery... 5(2b): Don't get too sucked in, tough. It looks as if your brain's almost gotten used to this, too.
109) 1: These are 2: Magnetophosphenes... 3: Signals to move to the next stairway. 4: Ready? Look into the light. 5: This is still the outer strata world. 6(2b): If we stop here, we won't be able to see the true undulations of the ocean. We've got to swim deeper. 7: Swim deeper...?
110) 1: Right. 2: Look into the light...
112) 1: Kabu
113) 1: This way, Kabu. 2(2b): Come now, stop playing and follow me like a good boy. 3: But-- 4: Is it alright to leave those cans like that...? 5: Heey, mom...? 6: Mom...
114) 1(2b): What are you doing? Let's go.
115) 1: Sit down. 2: Where are we... 3: Huh? 4: You aren't mom...
116) 1: Is this person gonna be my mom 2: from today on...? 3: don't need 4: I wonder what kind of person she is? 5: I don't need her. 6: My new mom... 7: I don't need someone like that. 8(2b): haa haa 9(3b): haa haa haa 10: haa 11(2b): haa haa 12(2b): haa haa 13: That's how your basics were built up.
117) 1: A good-for-nothing unemployed man from the day you were born. 2(2b): haa haa 3: haa 4: haa 5(3b): haa haa haa 6: With absolutely no soil in which to place your roots... 7(2b): haa haa 8: haa 9(3b): hah hah hah 10(2b): hah hah 11(3b): hah hah hah 12(2b): This is Level 3, Kabu. Stimulus to your temporal lobe is calling up formative experiences from your childhood.
118) 1-4: hah 5(2b): Hah Ridiculous. 6: It's a dream I saw when I was a child. 7: I had totally forgotten... 8: It's not just a dream, Kabu. 9(2b): haa 10: haa 11(2b): haa 12: haa 13: haa 14: You're in the middle of it right now. 15: Understand? 16: In the middle of what? 17: Where?
119) 1: Where... 2: Hey 3: Where are we going...? 4: Heaven.
123) 1: A land of light, 2(2b): where you can do anything, and become anything... 3: It's a super fun place. 4: Hmmmm...
124) 1: ...I 2: don't want to go... 3(2b): Oh...you don't want to? 4: You don't have to, then.
125) 1: Just stay right there. 2: ...rt 3: My heart... 4(2b): Yeah, an overdose. 5: No...the child's still sleeping. 6(2b): Yeah, yeah. 7: Got it. See ya. 8: Who are you?
126) 1: Ah... 2: So you're awake. 3: We're from the Sanitation Department, little boy. 4: Do you know what that is? 5: No... 6: Hmmm...well it's like a mix between the hospital and the police. 7(2b): We help sick people, and work to get rid of dangerous drugs. 8: Recently the law changed, 9: and so a new... 10: Where's my mom?
127) 1: Hm? Your mom? 2: Your mom is, um, hmmm... 3: She went to a faraway place. 4: Heaven? 5: ...hmm. 6: Yes...there. 7: Heaven. sfx: krak
129) 1: Where are we? 2: Eh...? 3: WHat level are we on right now?
130) 1: The level won't change, Kabu. 2: Let's call it quits for now. 3: Why? 4: It won't matter how much we play anymore. 5: Why? 6: We hit at a wall. 7: For the time being, that's our limit. 8(2b): Limit? A limit of what? 9: It takes time to break through something like that. 10(2b): I told you, didn't I? First you have to get used to the Amp. It's always like this in the beginning.
131) 1: Let's keep going. 2: I want to see what's beyond. 3: You'll come to want to see it again even more, bro... 4(2b): It'll just bring pain if we do...and what's more, since it's Tandem, when you feel pain, so do I. 5: ...let's keep going. 6: Diseased humans can't go without 7: checking out their own diseases...
132) 1-4: To Heaven 2: It's Heaven. 3: We're going to Heaven. 4: Mmm... 5: Um...yes.
133) 1: She went to Heaven.
135) 1: Where are we going...? 2: ka-chak 3: To where your mother is.
136) 1: cough...
137) 1: Ohhh. 2(2b): So she didn't got to Heaven after all... 3: Liar.
138) 1: Hey, wake up. 2(2b): Wake up, mom. Hey, I said. 3: She's cold... 4: That's weird... 5: She's cold... 6: Mmm... 7: You see, we're keeping her cool...with dry ice.
139) 1: Without that, 2: she'd rot... 3: ...I can't believe it... 4: She just...looks like she's sleeping... 5: Eguh...
140) 1: Just like... 2: she's sleeping...
142) 1: Ah... 2: beep beep beep
143) 1(2b): The Chaos Curve is rising...? 2: Level 4... 3: Amazing. 4: He broke through the wall in one go... 5: It feels like... 6: You're gonna go somewhere really far away... 7: Kabu...
145) 1: S... 2: beeeep 3: Sto...p...
152) 1: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
154) 1: shiver 2: shake
155) 1: Kabu... 2: Kabuu! 3-4: ba-dump 5: He has a pulse... 6: Hoo...
156) 1: Ah... 2: Flatline... 3: He's a vegetable... 4: At this rate his brain cells will gradually die off!
157) 1: What should I do? 2: Call an ambulance? 3: No, it won't make it here in time. 4: His brain is breaking, right at this very moment. 5: His heart could stop at any time. 6: No! I have to do something right now! 7: What can I do? 8: That's it. 9: If I contact the M-Cen they might know what to do at a time like this. 10: I don't have time 11: No, then it'll just be reported to the Sanitation Dept. 12: What can I do right now 13: The Amp's manufacturer, then? 14: His brain is dying 15: The creator...? 16: What am I talking about, that isn't the problem! 17: Something right now 18: no 19: time 20: That's why...
158) 1: That's why I told you to 2: stop... 3: ...this isn't a kid's game, 4: it's the evolution of your inner consciousness. 5: hah 6: I was turned off the minute I heard inner consciousness. 7: Why don't you stop complaining and just give it a try, Kabu?
159) 1: That's it. 2: I'm the one who invited you, right, Kabu? 3: I invited YOU...!
160) 1: I'm begging you, Alice... 2: Pull us back out together. 3: Please...! 4: pssh
161) 1: It reacted! 2: klik 3: I won't let you get away... 4: Now--
162) 1: --I'll be right there
165) 1: Alice... 2: Please, Alice!
167) 1: Mom...
168) 1: Kabu...
170) 1: What are you doing, Kabu...? 2: Cooking? 3: What are you making...? 4: ...Napolitan Pasta. 5: Oh... 6: That's right.
171) 1: Kabu made spaghetti. 2: This just happened... 3: This is a memory. 4: A reproduction of Kabu's memory. 5: Where was I and what was I doing at this time? 6: I was...
172) 1: They don't use ketchup in Napoli. 2: If an Italian person saw you, they'd get mad. 3: This is the only thing I know how to make. 4(2b): And besides, this tastes good. 5: It's easy to make. 6(2b): Cook ham, onions, green peppers, and mushrooms,
173) 1: then soften the spaghetti, 2: pour some ketchup in, and cook it all together. 3: The secret it to it is the slightly burnt scent 4: the ketchup gives off... 5: Kids all 6: love it...
174) 1: Hungry? 2: Just wait, I'm almost done. 3(2b): Sorry for always making the same thing. This all I know how to make, you know. 4: But you like it, right? 5: Want some salad too? 6: Uhhh, how does salad go again... 7: Hey. 8: Where are the salad ingredients?
175) 1: You bought some, didn't you? 2: Eh... 3: ka-chah 4: I'm back! 5: I got everything, Kabu. 6: Lettuce, tomato, 7(2b): cucumbers, and lemons.
176) 1: Ah... 2: I wanted some roquette too, 3: but they didn't have any. That store really sucks. 4: Like, for the dressing, 5: all they had was olive oil.
177) 1(3b): If we mix lemon and salt together though, it'll make a perfect Italian. How's the spaghetti coming?
178) 1: Kabu?
179) 1: Somewhere faraway... 2: What's his problem? 3: Oh, so that's where you were. 4: I feel like you're gonna go... 5: I thought I told you to stay here! 6: Don't scare me like that!
180) 1: Wait...
181) 1: You'd better not move an inch this time. 2: Just stay right on that sofa! 3: On that sofa... 4: Right there...
182) 1: Huaaa...ah.
183) 1: Hoo... 2: I'm hungry... 3: We never finished eating that spaghetti, right? 4: Wanna cook it up again? 5: Well? 6: Eh... 7(2b): If you want to eat, I'll cook yours together. What'll it be? 8(2b): Ah...okay. 9: a dream
184) 1: Will cooking it again dry it out? 2: Guess it's better than being cold. 3(2b): ...yeah, you're right... 4: This is a dream 5: Hmm... 6: ...or should I 7: start over from scratch... 8: That reminds me... 9: I had a weird dream just now...
185) 1: When I was a kid... 2(2b): I learned how to make Napolitan Pasta from my mom, and tried it on my own... 3: but ended up spilling spaghetti 4: all over the floor...
188) 1: Huh...? 2: What am I doing...? 3: Kabu... 4: Ah, that's right. 5: I need to wash the dishes.

208) 1: Don't get caught up in anything, 2: and always look at yourself. 3: Your other self, 4: now with you...
209) 1: ...Everything rests on the power to create images. 2: The brain is an imitation of our universe.
210) 1: The world is a sea of energy, 2: Reality is the countless waves rising and falling on its surface. 3: By swimming through the sea through meditating, and touching the wellspring of existence, 4: a new horizon for the human race will be unlocked...

23) 1: That's just one way of looking at it, though... 2: Hey! 3: Hey, you! 4: Fine. 5: If that's how they wanna plaay, 6: then I'll just go and do it. 7: Yeah! 8: The next person who pisses me off sfx: bam bam 9(2b): I'm beggin' ya, bartender...isn't there anything you can do? 10: The problem probably lies in a decrease in his serotonin transmissions. 11: pshn 12: It may be a bit pricey, but one shot of Garamon should do it. 13: flip 14: psht 15: Garamon? 16: It's a cocktail made with an active-enzyme Tryptophan base that contains Dopamine precursors and Hydrochloric Fluoxetine. sfx: choon! 17: Let's give it a try. sfx: tap
24) 1: Thanks...I owe ya one. 2: Hey, bartender! 3: Gimme a bottle of Peguila! (*tl note: both Peguila and Garamon are names of monsters from the Japanese 60s SF show, Ultra Q.) 4: I'll show them. 5: Just watch. 6: C'mon now...calm down. 7: Peguila again...? Why don't you try something different once in a while? 8: Leave me alone! I've already decided that when I come to the Pump, all I'm ever gonna drink is Peguila. 9: Still though...no matter what kind of company he may work at, 10: I can't understand what it must be like to take down such an expensive Pump every day like that guy. 11: I'm gonna blow 'em all away... 12(2b): Now, now, let's sit back down...how about a Pump? I'll pay. 13: Everyone who's made fun of me is gonna... 14: That's right, that's right...now, gimme your left hand. 15: Here it comes, hehehe...thanks a million! sfx: tap sx: pchooo

Will you toast with me? 6: O-of course I will. 7: To your monumental enlightenment, I will-- 8: And to this wonderful night! 9(2b): Your Peguila is really something, bartender. It even makes my drink taste different! 10(2b): I appreciate it...but this is your fifth day straight, isn't it? How do you feel right now?
27) 1: Like I'm on the top... 2: On the top of the highest peak there is. 3: The fact that you can say such sorry jokes is proof that you've built up a tolerance. 4: You should really think about taking a break or moving on to something else. 5: Hmmm, tolerance, huh...? 6: Guess that means I need to order a double for it to really work, then? 7(2b): Get outta here! That won't fly here. 8: Why not? 9: You know, normal Pump Bars 10: try to make their customers as addicted to their Pumps as possible. It's just another business tactic to them. 11: The bartender at this place, however, uses his pride at taking care of his customers as his selling point. 12: That's why he's established an elite clientele. 13: If all you want is volume, try going down to where the junkies hang out. sfx: klak 14: Aw, gimme a break...
28) 1: I'll be damned if I'm gonna take a Pump with those filthy punks... 2: Right? 3: ka-chak

33) 1: Y-you bastard... 2: C-contain yourself, contain yourself! 3(2b): Sorry about this. It looks like he's drunk too much. 4: Hey, pops. 5: I'm not drunk one bit! 6: I'll pay for it, 7: so give this old fella a Sleeper, would you? 8: Wh-what's that?! You 9: Sorry, but time's up for me. 10: I have a meeting tomorrow morning. 11: Put it on my tab please, bartender. 12(2b): Eh? No, wait... 13: Kuh... 14: You junkie! 15: Hey, wait up! 16: Let's go drink this off somewhere else!
34) 1: slam 2: tap 3: Ff... 4: Junkie, huh... 5: There ain't a single person left alive in this world that ain't no junkie. 6: This is an age where you can completely change your state of mind after just one pump. 7: Right, pops? 8: Exactly. 9: So...how do you feel right now? 10: How do I feel?
35) 1: ...when I was a kid, 2: there was this TV show I really liked. 3: I used to wait all week just to watch it. 4: When it came down to the half hour before it started, I just got so excited I could hardly sit... 5: One time, I got so excited that it tired me out. 6: And before I knew it, I fell asleep. 7: The next thing I know, I wake up and the show's over-- 8: That's how I feel right now!
36) 1: ...when I was a kid... 2: you couldn't call up a program you liked whenever you wanted like you can now. 3: And if you wanted to watch it again later, you'd have to record the thing yourself. In other words... 4(2b): I was so excited that tomorrow was Sunday that I ran around all until morning, 5(2b): but when I woke up, it was already that night...that's how I feel. You get it, right?
37) 1: What I mean is... 2: ...hey. 3: Hey, what the hell is this? 4(2b): Gomora. It's my own special creation. Don't like it? (*tl note: from Ultraman.) 5: Gomo... 6: You got hearing problems, man? 7: I don't remember asking for a cheap piece like this... 8: Sorry, but I'm out of Peguila ingredients. 9: The fuck you are! 10: No Pump Bar could stay in business without Peguilas!
38) 1: ...I see. 2: So that's how snooty this place is. 3: Guess my card won't work here, then. 4: Quite rare 5: to see someone walking around with cash these days. 6: I have enough to rent out this place all day. 7(2b): Is that your life's savings? It's a bit unsightly, so would you mind putting it away? 8: Pops...
39) 1: Pops, I said... 2: tap tap 3: I'm paying with cash. 4: All you need to do is shut up and serve your customer, right? 5: Please don't misunderstand. 6(2b): Pump Bars aren't normal bars. Medical licenses are required to become Bar Doctors. 7(2b): Unsteady pupils, trembling fingertips, purple rashes on the neck. You took Peter Pan, didn't you? 8: Mixing Peguila and Peter Pan will interfere with your cholinestrase and cause breathing problems. 9: Go kill yourself if you want, but don't do it here. 10: No matter the reason, Pump Bars who produce corpses are put out at once. 11: Sh...
40) 1: Shithead... 2: I lose... 3: It's my loss... 4: Ever since I became conscious of my actions, my life was finished. 5(2b): Pumpy Movement, Fruit Children...
41) 1: You experienced all that in real time, didn't you? 2: All the revelry that happened the night before the Drug Law Amendment was passed. 3(2b): All that was left to us were the cinders of the fire...nothing but trash. 4: We crawl through trash, feast on other trash... 5: And let me guess...you've drifted here, to what you believe is a suitable place. 6: chnn 7(2b): Yes sir! But I guess you don't deal with trash, huh? 8: The only suitable place for trash 9: is the dump. 10: tap 11: My original cocktail, "Nova Express." 12: Sweet dreams--
43) 1: What's wrong with me...where am I, what am I doing? 2: ...am I having another trip...? 3: Hey, junkie! 4(2b): You wanna die, don't you? Lemme kill ya! 5: Guh...
44) 1: Ahh! 2(2b): Ah...ah... 3(2b): Fuck...this world. 4: Everyone's nothing but trash. Just go on and disappear.
46) 1: How beautifuuuul! 2: Uhyaaaaah! 3: Ohh! 4: Ohhhh! 5: S-s-s-s-shivers... 6: What is this place? 7: What's going ooooooon?
51) 1: Ahaha 2: Ahahaha 3: Who... 4: Who's laughing... 5: Ahahahahahaha... 6: Haaaa ha ha ha 7: ...oh, I get it...
52) 1(2b): Ha, hahaha 2: Hahahahahahaha 3: Haha...I lost. 4: Hahaha... 5: Dammit, in one night... 6: I lost...twice...
53) 1: Mock suicide?
54) 1: Yeah... 2: Not even idiot would think of killing themselves at a Pump Bar. 3(2b): No matter if they stop breathing or have heart attacks, there's a Bar Doc with antidotes and revival tools standing right in front of them. 4: It's a game. 5: In order to feel the rush of risking one's life. 6: It's like a new version of Russian Roulette... 7: Sheesh... 8: Humans really are despicable. 9: The point is, games like this are really addictive. 10(2b): They're pathetic little lambs who have been possessed by the Grim Reaper. This probably wasn't that first time for that guy... 11: Oh, he came out.
55) 1(2b): Are you alright? Your footsteps look unsteady. 2: Heh! 3: That's funny coming from you. 4(2b): But anyway...I acknowledge your skill. That's the first time I've ever had something like that. 5: ...it truly snatched me away. 6: I don't need any money. 7: Don't need any...? 8: Nova Express is a one-time only cocktail. 9(2b): It's like getting the mumps. You get over it once, and you'll never experience it again for the rest of your life. 10: You'll never see the same dream you did with that cocktail. 11: Gotcha... 12: I don't need any money, so just don't ever come here again...right? 13: I gotcha...
56) 1: ...I'll be praying for your survival 2: in this world. 3: Ffh... 4: What a dishonest store... 5: Goddammit... 6: You were correct in your judgment, sfx: gyuh 7: in order to protect this store... 8: Yeah... 9: Mock suicide... 10: and a habit of using illegal drugs 11: are two very unfortunate ingredients

60) 1: Then you felt like you were reborn, so you decided to start fixing your life by cleaning up your room. 2: People like that crop up all the time. 3: Ah, shut up! Leave me alone, what do you care what I do? 4: Nah...I don't. 5: Just don't get too caught up in yourself and throw away my Alice, OK? 6(2b): I'm not that stupid. Here! 7: Wow <3 8(2b): Thanks! Here's your change. 9: Hey, can I borrow your sofa for a little? 10: I bought the new Mantra! 11(2b): You never quit, do you? I can't believe you can buy these toys just one after another. 12: How rude! These are different from kids' games, you know.
61) 1: It's all about inner mental evolution. 2(2b): I got to Level 3 on the last one, but after that I just couldn't seem to get ahead. box: Open up new chakra-- Superconducting Quantum Interface Device Neuro Amp MANTRA IV side: The dawn of a new human race! Complete the stages to evolution 3: Hmph... 4: They have even crazier machines at the Meditation Center, you know. 5: But there are always sanitation officers hanging around the M-Cen, I can't concentrate there. 6: I use these when I play, you know. 7(2b): Hah! I was already turned off just after reading the words "inner evolution." 8: Why don't you stop complaining and give it a try, Kabu? 9: It feels much better than any crappy Pump.
62) 1: Even the first level alone is sooo relaxing. 2: I already tried it. 3: All I did was puke. 4(2b): Pff! You did it with Peter Pan, right? 5(2b): Those two don't go well together. You gotta use Alice, man! 6: Now then, excuse me. 7: pssh 8: Just forget I'm here and keep cleaning. 9: Yeah, just make yourself at home... 10: gasha 11: Suuuuuuuu 12: pch 13: Mm... 14: Ahhh... 15: A...
63) 1: Hoo... 2: Mmm... 3: ...m... 4: Mm 5: Nnah 6: Tch. 7: Well look at her. 8: If people could evolve from something like that, then no one would suffer. 9: gasha 10: You think I'm not trying my best just to survive too? 11: Yooo, Seven. 12: kachak 13: Sorry...you busy? 14: ...not exactly. C'mon in.
64) 1: ...the hell are you doing? 2: Cleaning. 3: Just felt like a change. 4: I see... 5: Yeah, I guess you'd end up shooting up your foot or something i it got any worse than this. 6: Why do you people always give me that kind of reaction? 7: doosh 8: Mm... 9: And what's this little lady up to...? 10: cough 11: gssh
65) 1: You 2: got one pretty belly button, you know? 3: Cut it out. 4: She's risking her life on an Amp right now. 5: Oh... 6: I see. 7: Yeah... 8: Today's like...kinda a good day, you know? 9: The ion flow feels good, yeah... 10: Ffh. 11(2b): Days like this may you want to sprinkle some fairy dust and do a little dancing...that's what you were gonna say, right? sfx: snap 12: Of course, it's exactly times like these when I run out of P. Despite the fact that I've usually got more than I can get rid of... 13: I know. 14: It's the Law of P. 15: What the hell is that? 16: Last week...at Nero's store.
66) 1: You flatlined, didn't you, Kabu...? 2: Peguila and Peter Pan. 3: People who do a PP combo like that 4: don't run into any more P for a while afterwards. 5: The invisible hand of God moved, 6: and simply pushed you a bit farther away from the Reaper. 7: I even realized that just because I hang out with you sometimes, 8: they've stopped coming to me as well. 9: Oh really...well I'm sorry about that. 10: It's no biggie. 11: It'll just last for a little bit, after all.
67) 1: You can always find 'em somewhere. 2: Right? 3: ...it really is important to have friends, isn't it? 4: That's right, m'boy... 5: Don't forget though, that in this world, 6: there are people who put drugs higher than their friends. 7: Be careful, Kabu. 8: The greedy pigs out there think of guys like you as nothing more than clogs in the flow. You never know when or what'll happen. 9: You sure this is alright...? 10: Relax, I'll be with you when you cum. 11: Forget it... 12: Just kidding. 13: I used the base route, so the quality of your product is guaranteed.
68) 1(2b): Fuck that...it's still pretty naive. 2(2b): News to me. Shall we be off, then? 3: pssh
70) 1(3b): Ha hoo ha 1(2b): Ha ha 2(2b): Zeh ha
71) 1: Just now, I... 2: went to the moon and came back. 3: I see. 4: I went around the world. 5: This is so awesome. 6(2b): they said there's 140ml of DTT in these babies. From some Russian punk. 7: He must be...either really loyal, or a really good salesman. 8: I think he's both... 9(2b): His old man was an Armenian who migrated to Brazil. He went over by boat. 10: Huh... 11: What a guy... 12: Yeah...
73) 1: Kabu... 2: What was it like when you flatlined? 3: I hear that it's right before humans die that their brain reaches its ultimate potential. 4: C'mon, tell me. What did you see?
74) 1: Dammit! 2: He did iiiit! 3: Goddammit, it's a PP! 4: I can't believe the motherfucker did it in my shop, of all places! 5: Pigmon! Go get a Micuras!
75) 1(2b): Get his shoes off! Raise his legs! 2: Hey, hang in there, dammit! 3: Cyanosis... 4: Heart failure! Windam, hurry it up! 5: ...it wasn't anything special. 6: At that time, I...
76) 1: was simply watching my bubble-spitting, fallen self 2: from above...
77) 1: Astral Projection...? 2: ...and then? 3: Then... 4: After that my memories were fragmented. 5: It's pathetic, I know. It's like I just fainted or something... 6: I didn't see Heaven on the other side of the tunnel, 7: and I didn't meet any deceased friends, either. 8: Now that you mention it, though... 9: When my blood vessels started pumping again... 10: I kinda felt as if...I had visited a distant place...
82) 1: We did it, he's back online! 2: Administer oxygen, hurry! 3(2b): OK, okay, good boy, good job making it back. Everything's alright now...you really pulled one on us back there! 4: Grab me some blankets, Pigmon!
83) 1: Thanks for your help, everyone! 2: Good job, Nero! 3: Yahooooo! 4: I haven't seen something this amazing in a while! 5: Cheers to Neronga! 6: Cheers to junkies! 7: ...it felt like I left a distant, faraway land 8: and foolishly returned to my nostalgic old haunts...

85) 1(2b): Well, Kabu, it's great to hear...that you were able to make it back. 2: Back to this idiotic world... 3: If you had stayed there, after all, I wouldn't have been able to talk to you. 4(2b): Pfft. I guess you're right. 5: Now...then. 6: What, you're leaving already? 7: Yeah...I've got a little item that needs delivering beore sundown. 8: Also... 9: I'm not as gauche as one might think. 10: What the hell's that supposed to mean?

88) 1: Kabu... 2: ...are you alright? 3: Eh...? 4: Why... 5: are you crying...? 6: I don't know... 7: I don't know, but I feel kinda 8: not good...
89) 1: I feel like I might go... 2: somewhere really far away.
90) 1: slam 2(2b): Excuse me, sir. 3: Huh? 4: We're carrying out routine check-ups. 5: Oww! Owwwwww! 6: Hey man, that hurts!

Repopamin and, uh...what else was it? 12: I took so many that I guess I just confused myself a bit, that's all!
93) 1: I see. 2: A loss of memory due to confusion from chemical abuse...and. 3: You can let him go. 4: Hey, uh 5: What are you writing? 6: Your contravining of the law due to the influence of psychotropic drugs 7: has been determined as proof of abnormal tendencies, and therefore you must be issued a proper prescription. 8: Take that to the closest Sanitary Department nearby within one week and receive the proper treatment. 9: If you ignore it, you will receive forced hospitalization. 10: It is all for the sake of your own health. 11: Now, take care of yourself. 12: Pi...

It was a mistake. 13: Tearing out your soul, you know? 14: That ain't something you should do in the middle of traffic.
103) 1(2b): Ohh, watch it there! You might end up the next Icarus./ 2: There was a guy who turned into a bird here recently. 3(2b): It was right there, too.

That's one hell of a story. 8: Isn't it? I spit out my drink when Seven told it to me. 9: Seven? 10: I saw him today, and he didn't say a single thing about that to me. 11: Hoh...he didn't, did he? 12: Must be for real then.
106) 1: Ah, the hell it is. 2: It's fake, it's just another fake! 3: Exponentially times stronger than P? If that really existed, then I guess I could finally say farewell to my old pal. 4: Damn right it's a cure. 5: If you somehow manage to get your hands on it, give me a call. 6: I'll gladly be your guinea pig. 7(2b): You're some daredevil...there's been deaths, you know. 8: Now I know why Seven didn't tell you. 9: Hmph! 10: I'd be happy to die. 11: Just as long as it means I could see a dream that amazing. 12: It's just a hoax...

109) 1: One day, the two of us were sitting here drinking, just like this. 2(2b): It had been a while since I had seen him, and I dunno, something looked fuzzy about him.
