Game Script

Beat Around the Bushin (pt.1) - Lower Jeuno
Script	Video
Vola: What? You want me to tell you about the legendary black belt? Vola: Are you awake? If you think if somebody like you could get their hands on a belt so rare, you must still be in dreamland. Vola: Only the best of the best are good enough to obtain a black belt, and even then, only the best among those are even allowed to wear one. Vola: People call those masters of the martial arts "bushin". Don't tell me you've never heard of them. Vola: As mighty as mountains and as powerful as gods, there are but a handful of bushin left in Vana'diel, but their presence is as great as Altana herself. Vola: I've never seen you fight, but I can tell just by looking at your eyes that you don't have what it takes to don a black belt. You'd probably wet your hakama if you even laid eyes on one. Vola: What? You think I'm insulting you? Oh well. There's nothing I can say to stop you from taking the truth as an insult.	This article is missing a video of the battle, mission, or quest.

Atori-Tutori: Psst! (Hey you! Yeah, you!) (My name's Atori-Tutori, and I couldn'taru help over hearing your conversation with the butter-bald guy.) Atori-Tutori: (You say you're looking for a black belt? Well, it just so happens I know where you can get your hands on one.) Atori-Tutori: (I can tell you, if you want to know, 'cause I know! You want one, rightaru? Rightaru?) Atori-Tutori: (Listen up, okay? I heard that this prehistorically old guy they call "the bushin" has a black belt. If you ask him pretty-witty please, he might let you have it!) Atori-Tutori: (Huh? Where's the bushin? Hmmm... I could tell you, I could...) Atori-Tutori: (But what's in it for me? What do I get out of telling you? I'm going to need a little more persuasion on this occasion.) Atori-Tutori: (You know, if somebody brought me a wyrm beard, I guess I could tell them what I have up here in my bitty-brain.) Atori-Tutori: (If they left it here by the door, I could come get it, and WHAM BAM KAZAM! They could be on their way to the bushin.)	This article is missing a video of the battle, mission, or quest.

Atori-Tutori: Wow! I've always wanted one of these thingy-mabobbers! Atori-Tutori: Look at these lovely lines! Look at these curvaceous curves! They remind me of an old girlfriend...but that's another story. Atori-Tutori: You wanted to know about the bushin, rightaru? The bushin? Bushin...? Atori-Tutori: Ha ha! I was just fooling you. Everybody falls for that one. Atori-Tutori: Now listen up, I heard that the bushin had a disciple--some funky-spunky old geezer. He'd probably know where you could find mister master. Atori-Tutori: I think he lived in Vas...Vost...Boost...Bust...Butt... Atori-Tutori: Bast...ok! Bastok! Yeah, that's where he is. What? You thought I was going to tell you where the bushin was? Hah, you simpleton! That would simply be too simple!	This article is missing a video of the battle, mission, or quest. You can help by adding it.

Degenhard: Hah! Yah! How did a young'un like you know that I was a disciple of the bushin? Degenhard: A wee little Tarutaru from the Tenshodo? Ha ha ha! He never could stop flapping his gums. Degenhard: Well, you got me. I did study martial arts under the grand master once...but that was more than thirty years ago. Degenhard: Ah, those were the days... Degenhard: I was still young and chock-full of pep. Degenhard: Back then, I spent day and night and night and day training to be the best. I had my mind on my muscles and my muscles on my mind. Mighty embarrassing, now that I think of it. Degenhard: And then I met Maat... Degenhard: To tell you the truth, I never saw the bushin wearing his black belt. He always had it hidden way back in the back of his dojo. Degenhard: He did, though, show it to me once. Degenhard: But that was only after I had proved my strength by bringing him a behemoth tongue. Degenhard: Even after thirty years, the image of that belt remains crisp and clear in my mind. I can still see the deep tones of ebony. They say that the color comes from the blood and sweat of all the bushin that have worn it. Degenhard: I'm sure if you proved your might to the bushin and brought him a behemoth tongue, he would let you take a peek at the black belt of legend.

Atori-Tutori: Wow! A behemoth tongue! Atori-Tutori: When I was young, I never could figure out what was so especially special about these thing-i-ma-doodies, but now... Atori-Tutori: Hm? Hegendard told you that the bushin might show you the black belt if you brought him one of these? Atori-Tutori: What? Degenhard? Are you saying I got his name wrong? No I didn't! He's the one that got his name wrong. I don't know any Degenhards, anyway. Someone who doesn't know his own name can't be that great of a fidgety-fighter. Atori-Tutori: Oh yeah, I met with the bushin a couple of days ago. He looked as tip-top tough as always, but the prehistoric guy is getting on in years. He says he's been having terrible trouble with his eyesightaru. Atori-Tutori: So sad... Atori-Tutori: Anyway, he mentioned that he had another disciple--some spickity-spunkity old geezer that likes to pester young adventurers by sending them on quests to go fetch him stuff. Atori-Tutori: If anybody would know what would impress the bushin, it would be him. Why don't you go and search him outaru? Atori-Tutori: Who knows, the bushin might be so impressed that he'd give you the black belt! (But I wouldn't count on it...)	This article is missing a video of the battle, mission, or quest.

Maat: The bushin's so old that he's losing his eyesight!? Maat: <Sigh> Well, it has been thirty years. Just look at me. I'm not as young as I used to be. Maat: Ah, those were the days... Maat: What's this? You want to know what would impress the bushin? Hmmm... Well, when I was still his disciple, I once presented him with an adamantoise egg. Maat: He was so pleased that he didn't just let me see the black belt, he let me try it on! I could feel the weight of the souls of all the bushin that had worn it before me. Maat: But that weight was too great for me, and ever since that day, I've been striving to improve my skills. Maat: But even now I don't think I could even grasp that belt with my own hands, let alone tie it around my waist. I still have much to learn...

Atori-Tutori: Wow! Wow! This is a pretty pretty adamantoise egg! I can see why the bushin would want one of these. Atori-Tutori: You say you got the idea from Maat? Atori-Tutori: Maat... Meat... Mart... Never heard of him. Oh well. Atori-Tutori: If I've never heard of him, then he can't be that super-duper. I bet he's one of those guys that spends their days training by themselves up in the corner of some lonely park. Atori-Tutori: Anyway, anyway. You've done good so far. Bring me a brown belt and I'll take you to see the bushin. How's that sound? What? You don't believe me? The bushin and I are like blood brothers! I can take you to him anytime! Atori-Tutori: I mean, you've already brought him a wyrm beard, a behemoth tongue, and an adamantoise egg. One more pretty present and he's sure to hand over his black belt!

Atori-Tutori: Well, what do you know! I knew you were an utterly outrageous adventurer the moment I laid my peepers on you. Atori-Tutori: I'm sorry that I made you run all around. But it's not like you had anything better to do, rightaru? Atori-Tutori: Anyway, here's the black belt. Atori-Tutori is not a man to break his promises. Well, ta-taru! Atori-Tutori: What? What about my promise to take you to see the bushin? Atori-Tutori: Hmph, you may be tough, but you aren't very brightaru... Atori-Tutori: You've already met him! Atori-Tutori: And I'm not talking about that old geezer! Atori-Tutori: Or that other geezer either! Atori-Tutori: Whatever. Maybe you should work on buffing up that miniscule muscle between your ears. Bye-bye! Atori-Tutori: Hey Galka, out of my way! You're ruining my exitaru!
