    Once Kotona arrived, she started passing out the scripts. Meru was going to play the Scorbunny, an odoke role.

    Scorbunny, huh? Meru thought upon reading the script. She remembered that it's quite a famous choice among new trainers in Jalei. But Scorbunny the knucklehead? She couldn't help but to giggle about it.

    "Is everyone satisfied with their role?" Kotona asked.

    When no one seemed to be objecting, Kotona went on. "All right, I'll give the newcomers a basic overview of how we perform the story, and give them a chance to ask questions about it."

    When Kotona asked whether everyone's satisfied with their roles, Meru promptly nodded. I mean, this is her first time, she might as well do her best anyway.

    "While most versions of the 'Kintaro' story say that Kintaro and his family have always lived in the forest, some versions explain how they got there." Kotona explained. "We take the approach of starting from Kintaro and his mother in the forest, but briefly mention how they got there, which makes Kintaro's quest more meaningful.

    Meru paid attention as she read the script's relevant pages. She started to imagine the forest where Kintaro lived in the story.

    In the Ayame's version of the tale, Kintaro's friends were a Lucario (the tenya's role), a Deerling (the tenjou's role), a Pikachu (a kouzen role--or a free spirited and happy-go-lucky role that could also overlap with other trickster and comic role types), and her, the Scorbunny Unlike most versions of the tale, the Pokémon actually had names.

    Meru tried to keep her imagination up with the story just to get the gist of whatever's happening in there.

    (fast forwarding to keep it interesting)

    Kotona explains that instead of a wresting match, the Pokémon have a martial arts competition. A traveler sees this, and tells Kintaro about the major quest.

    Upon hearing the "martial arts" part, Meru couldn't help but to think what kind of those the Pokémon might pull off, considering Deerling being a quadrupedal, Lucario and Scorbunny being bipedals, and Pikachu can be, well, both. Her imagination had gone too wild at this point.

    Kotona noticed Meru's bemused look. "In the Ranseian theater, Pokémon are either portrayed as gijinkas--Pokémon portrayed as a human--, or puppets. This is how we can pull off Pokémon doing martial arts."

    Seems like Kotona's explanation about Pokémon doing martial arts stuff snapped Meru back to reality. "A-ah, okay..." gotten caught off guard, she stammered a little bit.

    "The traveler takes Kintaro to the Aiiro City, with his mother's blessings." Kotona went on. "Upon arrival, Kintaro proves himself a worthy warrior. But then one day, he hears that the Empress' daughter has been kidnapped by a Hydreigon."

    Okay, then...
    Meru then went back to reading the script, this time she's also trying to catch up to Kotona's storytelling (?) at this point.

    (Also, question: how am I supposed to portray Meru's lines and actions in the act?)

    (When we get to rehearsals, I'll give you the script for your character's scenes, which includes your lines)

    "With the help of his Pokémon friends, Kintaro embarks on the dangerous quest and defeats the Hydreigon." Kotona continues. "Kintaro is hailed a hero, and all live happily ever after."

    Yay~
    Now that Meru got the rough story, it's time to focus on her own lines in it.

    You depart the reading room and head for the main rehearsal stage. The company has performed this play before--the sets will go in when the troupe arrives in the town to perform

    Being a new recruit, it took Meru a little bit longer than everyone else to get to the main rehearsal stage. She did get some directions about which room is where from her fellow actors, but still...
