Festa's Intimacy story

I've never seen such a quiet banquet hall in my life! It's so dull!

Oh, tomato, tomahto!

Strap in for one killer tune!

Hey! Do you know how much that costs?! Give it back!

The banquet hall is a great place where inspiration rocks my soul!

How should I put this... it feels like a dark, quiet place with a sticky, soft ground above some clouds.

While you're at it, could you help me a bit more? I think lighting this place on fire will bring some killer inspiration!

If I gave you a cut for that, I'd have to give a cut to everyone in the world!

What exactly is a rebellious spirit? It's tough to grasp... so tough.

What if that system was built on a rebellious spirit? Can you rebel against rebellion?

Hey, watch your tongue, will ya? Are you trying to invalidate me?!

Yeah! Things like this shouldn't be overanalyzed!

Sigh... I was a celebrity in my hometown... but I don't get any recognition here in this backwater land.

Nope, I was just a bum! I was the "Slacker Girl" that showed up in the 5,210th episode of "Beyond Elves: Fact or Fiction"!

Miss that authoritarian hellhole? I just mean that I miss my fame!

Heh, no problem! You should've asked me sooner for things like that!

It's ironic. The killer ideas are the ones that just come to me outta nowhere, not the ones I sweat over.

That's all? They must've rocked into my head 'cause they're badass, no?

Sigh... Yeah, exactly. The enthusiasm and attitude you have at the beginning go through transformations.

Tsk, tsk, think about it. It invites more opportunities for betrayal. Don't be so naive. You'll just end up being more disappointed in yourself.

Saying that listening to rock music instills anger is complete garbage! Anger's in all of us from the get-go!

Anger ain't exclusive to rock, you know?! It's an emotion that is easy to vibe with, so all forms of media use it!

What?! If I go all out, you won't even be able to buy tickets! You better appreciate my vocals!

Oh? Heh. Look at you. That's a nice way to put it. I guess being called an angry rocker doesn't sound that bad in that sense.

Everyone says skill is a big deal in art, but tell me... is there any form of art where you don't use tools?

But that's pencil art. It's not like you can recreate the feel of an oil painting with a pencil.

Are you saying my throat isn't a tool? Vocal cords are tools that need to be maintained well.

Exactly! Art is like a sick harmony of various elements coming together!

Mmm... Fiery flames of a cold city... That's the path of you and me...

Nah! I'm just stating facts!

There you go! If it's got swagger, just shout it out, and you have your lyrics!

Mmmph! Mmmph! Mmmmmmph!

Everyone mistakenly believes that songs that sound catchy are good songs. It's terrible.

If you just mindlessly jam to whatever tunes they throw at you, you'll lose your soul!

A song that shocks you! True art is about shattering your inner prejudices!

Heh, words won't do it justice. I'll just show you right now! Here we go!

Ayyy, I want to live in a chaotic world!

A world that's all buttoned up? Totally ruins my vibe!

No, uh-uh. What are you talking about...? Your eyes... they look blank...

Chaos! Clash! Conflict! A variety of possibilities where nothing is set in stone! Isn't that what art is all about?

I feel like my performance style has become rather mundane lately. Got any ideas?

Seriously? That stuff is so overdone!

Ah, lights! Dancing doesn't suit a rocker, but lights are a good idea!

Oh, that one sounds good...! I should grab my old guitars and smash them up!

Mind if I do a little busking here in the banquet hall? Let's hear some noise!

Great, great! Let's jump right into the first song!

What? You think you can stop my freedom with some stupid laws?!

Hey, the crowd is bound to gather when you sing from the soul! Don't worry and just enjoy!

I sing of freedom with my guitar. You could say my guitar embodies freedom!

I know, right? I'll try to bring that same emotion to my next busking session!

What? You mean my freedom could be destroyed? Then it's all thanks to this corrupt system!

Th-That's another matter! There's a subtle difference between the two!

Tch, living as an artist really is tough.

No, it's just that I haven't made much money from busking lately. They just don't understand my music, y'know?

That's true. Alright, today I'll channel these worries and struggles into my song!

Because that's what an artist does! Rock and roll!

We must break free from the control of the banquet hall and its predetermined menus!

I mean you should come up with some new, original, and delicious dishes!

What? Well, uh... maybe we need a little bit of control after all!

You're trying to bind me with the system?! I knew you were no different from the others!

A comfortable life is the hard path... A difficult life is the easy path...

What do you mean?! You can put anything in the lyrics as long as it sounds like it makes sense!

Exactly! But... overcoming that hardship is what life is all about!

You've chosen the hard path! With a comfortable life comes a grueling struggle!

Inspiration! I'm getting inspiration! Is there a pen and paper around?!

Great, you're always prepared! Once I finish the song, I'll let you hear it first!

Ugh, writing songs even under harsh conditions... That's what it means to be a musician...!

Ha! You don't appreciate art at all! How pitiful!

Here, give me a drink that befits a lonely artist!

Hmm, I guess this place is a bit basic to serve an artist like me.

Aaargh! What is this flavor?! It's a drink full of experimental spirit, you say? Good, I respect the boldness!

Isn't it obvious? I'm alone all the time. I've got no bandmates or anything.

It's not like I complain for no reason. I've just got beef with this society for always giving me things to be upset about!

Great, the owner just gave us the greenlight! We're holding an illegal assembly right here! Let's go!

What? Is this yet another place controlled by strict rules, where you can't freely express yourself?!

W-What did you say? Ugh, now I'm suddenly getting chills...

Sometimes I just wanna grow wings and be totally free.

It was a figure of speech! A metaphorical expression of my burning desire for freedom. Don't you get it?

Being able to fly isn't what's important! Being free is what matters!

What's that? It's got a nice vibe. Maybe I could use it as lyrics for my next song.
