Clownpiece's Fantasy Rebirth Story
Hm... Where did Clownpiece go?
(Fairies are WAY too good at hide-and-seek!)
Clownpiece
Time's up! I was over here, PLAYER!
You're kidding! I lost again?!
Clownpiece
Hehe, Sunny and the gang are even better than me, you know? I'll give you some pointers so you can beat 'em.
Clownpiece
But it's already pitch black, so I guess it'll have to wait...
Whoa, time really flies when you're having fun.
Clownpiece
Let's play again tomorrow! I'll show you my LUNATIC-level hide-and-seek tactics!
Wow, thanks! (That sounds intense!)
Actually, do you mind staying and chatting a while?
Clownpiece
Sure thing!
Clownpiece
But we better keep it short. If we hang around too long, Reimu will come out to get us!
You got it!
(Is she just worried about me being out late at night?)
But this is basically my home, so I think it's OK!
...Actually, there's something I want to ask you!
Clownpiece
Ooh, this is kinda like an interview. Go ahead, I'll answer any question you got!
Well, umm... You always work super hard, right?
I just wanted to know your secret!
Clownpiece
You think I'm a hard worker...?!
Clownpiece
I suppose I try my best to serve my master... Boy, this is kinda embarrassing to talk about.
Clownpiece
I don't think there's any "secret" to it... I guess never giving up is the most important thing.
Clownpiece
I just wanna serve Master as best I can. And to do that, I gotta keep improving and growing as a person.
Clownpiece
The sages always say fairies are the embodiments of nature, right? Which is true, but...
Clownpiece
Stuff in nature grows slow. It's never, like, "BOOM," then suddenly everything's super big and tall.
Clownpiece
Trees take a long time to grow, and changes in the environment take even longer. Like, a really really long time.
Clownpiece
I say time, but it's more like coincidences or miracles piling up. If stuff changed a lot all the time, it'd be terrible, though.
Clownpiece
That's why no matter how hard I try, I rarely ever feel like I've improved.
Clownpiece
But even when things aren't going my way and I fail over and over again, I never give up!
Clownpiece
I keep going and try to impress Master!
You never give up, huh? That's... amazing!
I wanna do my best just like you!
Clownpiece
Then you've got a bright future ahead of you! That's why I like you so much!
Clownpiece
But don't push yourself too hard, OK? Sometimes I get kinda worried about you.
Clownpiece
Say... don't you ever get, like, homesick?
Clownpiece
I know you've made lots of friends here in Gensokyo, but you must have friends and family back home, right?
(So she WAS worried about me.)
Thanks, but really, I'm fine!
With you and everyone else around, I don't feel lonely!
Plus, it's super fun playing with you guys!
Clownpiece
I see... Having fun is definitely the most important thing! But if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here for you!
Clownpiece
I'll comfort you when you're worried and help you when you're in trouble! You have my word on that!
Thanks, Clownpiece!
I'll be here for you too!
Clownpiece
Thanks!
Clownpiece
If something scary comes along, I might need your help. You know, something like...
Clownpiece
...the Lost Word Incident.
Clownpiece
It's pretty complicated, so there's a lot I don't understand, but when it arrives, things will get really bad, won't they?
Clownpiece
If I can't figure out what to do, can I turn to you?
Of course. I'll do whatever I can to help.
When times get tough, we gotta work together!
Clownpiece
PLAYER...
Clownpiece
Heh heh, all right! Thanks to you, I feel all cheerful again!
Clownpiece
Friendship really is an awesome thing. I'm glad we became friends!
Me too! Let's keep playing together!
...Shoot, I almost forgot something important!
Clownpiece
Wh-What?!
Your present! Here!
Clownpiece
For real?! Thanks, PLAYER!
Clownpiece
This outfit... is so LUNATIC!
Clownpiece
Heh heh, I can't wait to show this off to Cirno and the others!
Clownpiece
...Wait, isn't this one of the outfits the sages of Gensokyo are giving out?!
You bet it is!
This one's a present from Miss Okina!
Clownpiece
You mean Okina Matara?!
Oh, and she gave me a message for you, too.
"You're a powerful fairy and definitely one to watch!"
"You have hidden potential. I have high hopes for you!"
Clownpiece
Whoa... The secret god said all that about me.
Clownpiece
If us fairies get stronger, nature itself will start growing faster than ever!
Clownpiece
And if we can access the dormant power of all the nature in Gensokyo, we'll be LUNATIC-level strong!
Clownpiece
...I'd rather impress Master, but trying to live up to that sage's expectations doesn't sound so bad.
Clownpiece
Plus, I'm sure it'll help me serve Master better! I'm gonna keep doing my best without giving up!
Clownpiece
I promise to be brave and face the scary Lost Word Incident with everyone else...
Clownpiece
That way, we can save Hell AND Gensokyo!
Costume Presentation
Clownpiece
Hey, how come nothing happens when you look at my torch? It's weird. Only Lady Hecatia and her friend can... Ah! Maybe it's 'cause you're my friend. Only those who can withstand the light of my torch are capable of being my friends. I get it now!
