Tiphereth vs. Oswald (Stage: 70005)Location: The Library – Floor of Natural SciencesOswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Sniff, sniff… This place has an unfamiliar scent in the air, hmm?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_1"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Ah! Down there is… a river that looks like a very large stream containing blueberries and juiced mountain snake berries…Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_2"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)An olfactory mixture of mint and clove… would make a stingy scent like this!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_3"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)This stage has a blindingly sparkly rust, a stark contrast from ours! Splendid!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_4"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)I couldn’t ask for a better place to prepare for a grandiose performance. Don’t you think so, Mr. Knife?!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_5"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)What a noisy guest.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_1"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Oh, two yikeses and a half! My heart almost popped out of my eyehole!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_6"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Are you an audience? Just a guest? Or maybe a fellow clown to help out with the show?! I’m taking a second look, and there’s more of you! Are you guys a matryoshka doll in secret? Mm, let’s see~ One, two… Eee, too many to count!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_7"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Ah, now just one moment! Take a look at this! Ms. Mermaid is lifting her microphone high in excitement~Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_8"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)You’re getting nowhere with your frantic speech, so could you please stick to one topic at a time? And you’d be the guest here if we’re being pedantic.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_2"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)A clown can’t be in charge of producing his own show, you know? Hahaha! That’s showbiz to you, miss!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_9"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)I don’t get what’s so funny…Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_3"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Now, now~ Why don’t we sniff each other’s wrists in a true fashion of clown-to-clown communication ritual? I wore a whiff of peppery scent today!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_10"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)W—wait! You startled me!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_4"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)It’s rude to stick your face into others without asking… Do you understand?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_5"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Nyeh… How cold! People these days are waaay too stuck up!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_11"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)We’re entering a moist era where laughter runs dry! People get so easily upset over tiny things.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_12"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Sob, sob, woe is me… If a clown can’t be filled with laughter, they’ll flop like a deflated balloon…Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_13"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Anger is a natural human emotion, though.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_6"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)IT’S NOT NATURAL!!!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_14"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Only those who carry some kind of hopes and dreams make such stinky candies~Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_15"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Expectations for a bar of chocolate, a hamster, objects, the weather, other people… and for themselves.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_16"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)They arbitrarily entertain the expectations and make the candies without even getting a nod from the one they have their hopes on, and won’t even eat their candies themselves!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_17"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Because they know that their own candies taste awful.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_18"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)So iiiiinstead! They put them in the mouths of others.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_19"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)More expectations means more foul-smelling candies~ They hold those balls of stench in their arms, looking to shove them in someone else’s stomach!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_20"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Then… How is one supposed to live a life without any expectations?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_7"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Did a blade of grass ask for you to have them? Did the gentle sun allow you to have them?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_21"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Who in the world told you that it’s right to hold expectations? Hahaha! That tingles my mouth almost as much as a celery leaf does! Oh, how hilarious!!!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_22"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)When you don’t hold expectations~ You get to see more eyesores!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_23"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)When you don’t have anger, you get to enjoy zestier and bitterer flavors~Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_24"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Treat everything like a rolling ball! You cheer for it wherever the sphere decides to go!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_25"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)If you truly wish for the good of other people, why don’t you stop holding expectations… and just laugh with them at their side?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_26"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Everyone who lives here is a clown! Clowns can’t survive without feeding on each other’s smiles, you see?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_27"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)…I see your point.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_8"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)You’re right. Holding expectations for someone isn’t always a good thing for them.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_9"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)While I can’t fully agree with your opinions, I admit that there are parts that I can’t completely disregard.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_10"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Ohohoh! I just want to make a world full of laughter! One where everybody can laugh without a care!!!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_28"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Frowny faces are just too scary~Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_29"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)However, to hold expectations is to trust that person.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_11"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)You’re simply running from the fear of failing to meet the expectations of others.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_12"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Haha! Hahaha! Am I? Is it a crime to wish for happiness?!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_30"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Since when was it a bad thing to wish for a world where all people can laugh?Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_31"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Hmph, whatever! I guess we have different kinds of laughters we want to display in our shows as performers!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_32"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)You’re no different from us folks in that you run a show hoping to make people smile the smile you want to see!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_33"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)Let’s begin the performance to make another clown laugh!!!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_34"Oswald(The 8 o’Clock Ringmaster)That’s enough introduction… Shall we begin playing on the tongue now? Hahaha!Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Oswald_35"Tiphereth(Patron Librarian - Nat. Sciences)Yeah. In your language, we have to fight to protect the stages we stand on.Audio: "ch7_Blue_ep2_TO_Tiphereth_13"
