Okay, now I just need to connect Robo-Phoenix to my computer and...
Based on the internal data...
Good, she appears to have become very elusive.
I'm glad I asked Nene to voice her too. Compared to being unvoiced, this should make it much easier to imagine what that scene is like.
Still...
I may not have actually made a connection with him yet. I mean, we're not in a forest, and the temperature and humidity feel completely different...
Alas, I know that I can't ask for everything. We don't have time to visit a forest since we need to practice, so...
Rio spends three days and nights surviving only on water...
Then, I shall do the same.
(Because he seemed serious, I ended up agreeing with how he wanted to understand what Rio's feeling...)
(He's the type of actor who likes to get on the same page emotionally as the characters he plays.)
(However, he's bound to encounter some roles in the future where he can't recreate their respective situations.)
(As simple a method as his way of getting into character is, for a high schooler to put himself through such an ordeal...)
I wish we could help carry the load somehow...
Isn't there a way to simulate what he needs without taking such a physical toll...?
Wait, that's it...!
Hello. Thank you all for waiting.
Ah, there you are!
So, why did you ask us to gather like this all of a sudden?
There's something you wanna show us, right?!
Yes! I've brought a new weapon!
W-Weapon?
Indeed! Here it is!
Ah... Huh?
Wait, those look like...
VR goggles?
Yes! Using these, we'll be able to put ourselves in whatever environment or situation we like!
For example! We may be digesting away in a monster's stomach after it devoured us...
Or desperately searching for water because our bodies have been set ablaze!
These will allow us to safely immerse ourselves in all sorts of dangerous situations!
Th-That's so cool☆
Y-Yes, it is cool. But...
Digesting inside a monster's stomach? Being set ablaze? How exactly do we end up in those situations?
Hehe. Those were just examples.
More to the point, if used correctly, these should help us learn to play our characters better.
That sounds fun! Let's give it a try, you guys! Who wants to start?
I don't mind waiting since I've played plenty of these kinds of games before.
Also, I'm kinda scared after hearing those example scenarios...
Then, I'll go first!
Okay, would you mind putting these on? I'll play the video I put together.
So, like this...?
Okay, I think it's set!
Wh-Wh-Whoa!
Th-This is incredible!
I'm running! Across the ocean!
Huh?! I'm taking flight now?!
Oh, hello there...
Huh? Tsukasa, who are you talking to?
I was greeting an airplane that I just flew by. I made eye contact with one of the passengers, so...
Seriously, what's going on in this video...?
I stitched together a series of free videos. Please forgive any issues with the editing.
That's not what I meant...
Wow...! That was so much fun☆
Hehe. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.
I could only prepare a video this time, but it'll feel even more real when I add some sound to it.
Also, if I can find a way to stimulate one's senses of touch and smell...
What?! You can do that?!
Unfortunately, not immediately...
However, I'd like to keep that in mind as a way to help us learn and play new characters.
As much as I like to see actors put on sensational performances, asking them to do more than they can handle would do more harm than good.
Rui...
Thank you for doing this!
It was nothing.
We're troupe mates, aren't we?
Oh, Rui!
I wanna try it again!
The part where you fly might help me get a better idea of what it's like to be a duck♪
Yes, of course!
