Battle of Unity "SURVIVE" - After-Story
[The full mini audio drama is on YouTube here!]

[sfx: Theme park crowds and attractions]
Nayuta: Wow, a real amusement park, this place is amazing!
Kanata: It's too early in the morning for there to be so many people here.
Nayuta: You wanna try out all the rides?
Kanata: I don't care. Why on earth did you want to come to an amusement park in the first place?
Nayuta: 'Cause we've never been to one before, I thought it'd be a nice way to celebrate winning the battle, or whatever.
Kanata: ... I guess.
Nayuta: Alright! Let's take a look around to get our bearings for the time being.
[sfx: footsteps]
Nayuta: Wow, whatever that attraction is, the line for it is crazy.
Kanata: If we don't hurry, isn't it just going to get more crowded?
Nayuta: Ah, yeah, it may be that if you don't hurry up and get where you're going now, it might be a pain later.
[sfx: Nayuta going ahead]
Kanata: Nayuta, don't rush ahead without me! We'll get separated.
Nayuta: Ah? Alright, here.
Kanata: Huh? What's up?
Nayuta: Gimme your hand. If we hold hands then we won't get separated.
Kanata: Ah... mm.
[sfx: Kanata grabbing Nayuta's hand]
Nayuta: Hehe. I feel like we're back to being little kids again.
Kanata: It kinda is, huh?
[sfx: approaching cartoony footsteps]
Nayuta: ... a mascot?
Kanata: Huh? Who the fuck is this guy?
[sfx: costumed mascot character holding out a balloon]
Nayuta: Are you giving this balloon to me?
[sfx: costumed mascot character nodding]
Nayuta: Well, thanks!
Kanata: Nayuta, don't take that.
Nayuta: Huh? Why?
Kanata: That guy's pretending to give you something for free, and then he's gonna come back later expecting you to pay up. You can't trust anyone who walks up to you without letting you see their face as far as you can throw 'em.
Nayuta: Yeah, but...
[sfx: Kanata approaching costumed mascot character, the mascot audibly going "?"]
Kanata: Hey, you costumed bastard, if you try anything with Nayuta, I'll kick your ass.
Nayuta: H-hold on a second, time out! It's probably fine! We're not in the slums right now.
Kanata: [muttering] I'm not convinced...
[sfx: costumed mascot fearing for his life]
Nayuta: [loudly] Well, we're good on balloons, so the mascot can go away now!
[sfx: costumed mascot cartoonishly walking away]
Nayuta: [sigh] Kanata, I don't think the guy in the mascot costume had any nefarious intentions.
Kanata: How can you be so sure of that?
Nayuta: Well, how about you stop being so cautious and we just have a little fun today? Just relax a little bit.
Kanata: ... [sigh] Yeah, got it.
Nayuta: Hehe. Well then, first things first... ah! How about we ride that? Over there?


[sfx: vehicles whirring]
Kanata: The hell is this? Some kind of racetrack?
Nayuta: It's apparently some kind of bumper car attraction.
Kanata: That being what?
Nayuta: You get in these little cars, and the first one to cross the finish line wins, but you can run the cars into each other to sabotage the other racers.
Kanata: Huh, that sounds kind of fun.
Nayuta: Doesn't it?
Kanata: So we'll race to see who can get to the finish line, then?
Nayuta: While we're at it, how about we add some kind of penalty for losing into the mix?
Kanata: The loser treats the winner to ice cream.
Nayuta: I'm down. Well! Then I'll be taking that car right up front.
Kanata: Hey, that's no fair, Nayuta!
Nayuta: Hehe. You snooze, you lose.
Kanata: Well, I guess it's only fair that you get a handicap, Nayuta.
Nayuta: Hah? What'd'you mean by that?


[sfx: bumper car engine revving]
Kanata: Looks like it's about to start.
Nayuta: Guess this is a serious throw-down, huh?
Kanata: Try not to go and cry when you end up losing.
Nayuta: That's my line. When I win, I'm making you buy me the really expensive ice cream.
[sfx: Kanata bracing himself, beeps counting down until the green light, engines revving up]
Kanata: Ah, goddammit, I messed up the timing...!
Nayuta: Ahaha! Kanata, you're already falling behin-- woooah!
Kanata: If I get a slow start, I'll just have to make up for it! [ramming his car into Nayuta's]
Nayuta: [reeling] Hey, don't hit me with your car!
Kanata: Hah! That's the rules of the game!
[sfx: Kanata taking off ahead of Nayuta]
Nayuta: Ah! Kanata, behind you, behind you! Watch out!!
Kanata: Hah? What's behind me?
Nayuta: Oh, nothing, just me catching up to you~
Kanata: Hah!?
Nayuta: Kanata, you're way too gullible~ See you at the finish line!
Kanata: Alright, no more going easy on you, I'm gonna win this!
Nayuta: Sure, if you can catch up!
Kanata: You're on!
[sfx: engines revving]


[sfx: walking]
Kanata: Ah, ice cream that Nayuta had to buy for me tastes soooo good.
Nayuta: Dammit, I didn't think you were actually going to pull ahead at the end. I would have won if I hadn't fumbled that last curve.
Kanata: If you wanna try, I'm down to go again.
Nayuta: --! I'm good with just doing it once. There's other rides I want to try.
Kanata: [eating ice cream] Why?
Nayuta: Because that's what you do at amusement parks, right?
Kanata: Suppose so.
Nayuta: Look, over there.
[sfx: rollercoaster sfx, people screaming]
Kanata: A rollercoaster?
Nayuta: Yeah. I've heard this one is pretty famous. Doesn't it seem like it'd be super rad to go all the way up there and spin around in the air?
Kanata: ... yeah, maybe.
Nayuta: And apparently they whip you around so much that you have to leave all your personal belongings in a locker before you get on.
Kanata: Is that supposed to be a selling point?
Nayuta: Hm? You seem kinda down on it.
Kanata: I'm not "down on it". Well, let's just hurry up and get in line.
Nayuta: Ah? ... yeah, sure.


[sfx: turnstile cranking]
Nayuta: No way, we're right up front! Apparently, that's the most exciting place to be seated. How lucky for us!
[sfx: Kanata shuddering]
Nayuta: Ah! I'm kinda starting to really get excited.
[sfx: Kanata shuddering]
Nayuta: Ah...! ... huh? Kanata, is something wrong? You've been kinda quiet for a while now.
Kanata: [tensely] Nope, nothing's wrong.
Nayuta: Ah, could it be you're scared?
Kanata: HAH!? NO, OF COURSE I'M NOT SCARED!!
Nayuta: [laughs] You're yelling all of a sudden.
Kanata: [slurring] Hwha, no, shuddup, I'm totally, just, gettin', prepared.
Nayuta: Prepared? For what?
Kanata: To go blasting off at high speed and spun around out in the goddamn air, that's what I'm prepared for!
[sfx: alarm]
Kanata: Hey, we're already moving!?
Nayuta: [audibly having a much better time than Kanata] Oh! Kanata, you doing alright?
Kanata: It's too late for that now. ...!! Isn't this way too high!?
Nayuta: It's super impressive, isn't it?
Kanata: I really hope we don't go flying out of the car or anything...
Nayuta: I'm sure it's fine? There's a safety bar and stuff.
[sfx: roller coaster car going up the first hill]
Kanata: Your hand.
Nayuta: Hm? What was that?
Kanata: I said YOUR HAND!!!
Nayuta: Ah, you want to hold my hand? Well, guess I've got no choice. Here you g-- [groaning as Kanata holds his hand in a death grip] Ow, ow, ow, ow! You're holding too tight!
Kanata: Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES can you let go, okay?!
Nayuta: I get it, I get it!! ... ah. We're at the top.
Kanata: A-- ah... ah... ah ah oh bad oh bad bad bad BAD BAD--
[sfx: Nayuta whooping, Kanata screaming bloody murder as the roller coster begins its descent]
Nayuta: THIS IS GREAT!
Kanata: BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD--
[sfx: Nayuta cheering and laughing, Kanata doing his best impression of a man being killed in a knife fight]


[sfx: crowd noises]
Kanata: Roller coasters are fucking unbelievable. That must qualify as a form of torture.
Nayuta: Why do you keep talking to yourself? Here, have a cola.
Kanata: Ah. Thanks.
Nayuta: Are you still in a bad mood? You didn't have to ride it with me if you didn't think you could handle it.
Kanata: I wasn't just going to let you ride something that dangerous on your own.
Nayuta: I'm telling you, it was perfectly safe. But I didn't know you were such a wuss about thrill rides.
Kanata: I'm not a wuss.
Nayuta: If you're not a wuss, then why were you yelling I CAN'T DO IT I CAN'T DO IT I CAN'T DO IT over and over again?
Kanata: ... shut up.
Nayuta: I can't believe that you're the same person who was trying to act sooo cool in front of Anonymous the other day.
Kanata: ... hmph. [angrily drinking his soda]

Nayuta: Our battle against GokuLuck was pretty fun, wasn't it?
Kanata: Well, it was alright, I suppose.
Nayuta: There were a lot of votes that got cast.
Kanata: Well, in the end we ended up really getting all the Heads worked up.
Nayuta: Naturally. We can't lose.
Kanata: Right?
[sfx: Kanata and Nayuta laughing]
Kanata: Well. [getting up and stretching] I'm feeling ready to go.
Nayuta: Oh, can we get back to it, then? Well, what should we do next? I'm down for whatever.
Kanata: laughs] Nayuta, you're really amped today, aren't you? Since when do you love amusement parks this much?
Nayuta: Well, I like it, but it's more about how we finally got the chance to go to one, so I want to do everything I can.
Kanata: "Finally"? I didn't know you'd wanted to go to one.
Nayuta: Well, sorta. I dunno if you'll remember this... but back when we were really little, and we got left home alone, we used to sit and watch TV together a lot.
Kanata: Ah, yeah. I guess that place did still have electricity, at least.
Nayuta: We were really little, so I don't really remember a lot super clearly, but there was like... some kind of special on TV? About amusement parks. I forget the other details, and I don't know why, but I remember seeing it all really clearly.
Kanata: ...
[sfx: children laughing]
Nayuta: The amusement park on TV shone so bright, and everyone looked like they were having so much fun. I was so jealous. I kept thinking, I want to go there with Kanata someday!. That was like my number-one fantasy at the time.
Kanata: Nayuta...
Nayuta: The other day, we were telling Anonymous about that stuff from back when we were kids, and then I realized, like: hey! We've never been to an amusement park yet.
Kanata: So today we made your childhood dream come true, then.
Nayuta: No, not yet.
Kanata: Ah?
Nayuta: I still haven't had my fill of fun for today.
Kanata: [laughs] Well, obviously. We've only had the chance to go on two rides so far, right?
Nayuta: And besides that, it's not like amusement parks are the only thing I dreamed about as a kid.
Kanata: Well, guess we got no choice but to step it up from now on and make all of those dreams come true, huh?
Nayuta: Exactly. It's a just reward for us for having survived back then.
Kanata: Pfft, you're making it sound so lame. Well, then. Let's go.
Nayuta: Yup! Let's have fun today until we just can't have any more fun.
Kanata: Yeah. I don't plan on going home until we've conquered all of the attractions.
Nayuta: I expect nothing less out of you, Kanata. Roger that.
Kanata: So? What next?
Nayuta: Ah... next, let's try that spinning horse thing over there.
Kanata: I've seen those things, but I don't get what's supposed to be so fun about it?
Nayuta: Maybe we'll understand it if we give it a shot?
Kanata: Yeah, maybe.
