Busan, South Korea
With South Korea putting a ban on travel to and from the country following the sudden death of Jageda's GEO, the crew of the Black Flea have holed up in Busan along the coast near Lotteworld.
RP: It's a Lotteworld after all, it's a Lotteworld after all, it's Lotteworld after all, it's a Lo...
SM: Red, I will rewrite your memory to erase that song if you don't stop.
RP: (runs behind Wu-chan) But it's a Lotte, Lotteworld!
WU: Shoko, don't do it. Red's just a little boy trapped inside the body of a silly Tanuki, wanting to desperately go to Lotteworld!
SM: I don't care. That song's coming out of his memory.
RP: Save me, Cap, you're my only hope!
— editor's note, in the future, clichés are banned, so enjoy them while you can —
S: Stop it, you two. Shoko's only kidding. But seriously, Red, I will shoot your tongue, cut it out, and set it on fire if you keep singing that song.
RP: Aww. Cap, we're done for.
WU: (changing the subject) Speaking of done, I've finished designing our new house in Shirakawa-go.
S: When do you find the time to do all this stuff?
WU: What do you mean? We've been stranded in Busan for over a day with lots of time on our hands.
RP: Ehtou, nani kore?
WU: It's a three story house with four bedrooms and an outdoor covered rooftop.
RP: That's a house?
WU: What do you mean? Of course it is.
RP: But it doesn't look like a house.
WU: Well, I thought I'd borrow some Ghibli themes to create an idiosyncratic, dynamic structure.
RP: I love it! I mean, I don't understand it, but I love it!
WU: Thanks, Red!
SM: Looks like late-20th century Decon. I can live here.
WU: Uhh, thanks?
S: (turns tablet sideways, then upside-down) Looks like a giant dog pooped on a house and it partially collapsed from the weight of the poop.
WU: (unamused) ...
S: What? I didn't say I hated it.
WU: So it's fine with you?
S: Whoa, I didn't say that. That's Corten steel, isn't it? That'll stain everything. That has to go. And the windows are too big. It's going to be a freezer here in the winter.
WU: Whew! Glad you approved of the design. They're scheduled to start building tomorrow.
S: Wait, what?
WU: When we get there, they will have finished printing the shell in place. Another week and the exterior will be completed. In the meantime, how about we go to Lotteworld?!?
RP: Yay, Lotteworld! It's a Lotteworld after all. It's a Lotte...
