A3! Event Story Translation “Moon Traveler” - Chapter 7

In this chapter, Sakuya asks his question, this time, regarding Chikage's name

Chikage

… How is it?

Izumi

You thought of more than I expected!

Masumi

You could’ve narrowed it down a bit.

Chikage

I already did.

Citron

Kazunari will get upset at you for putting 10 point font size on A4 paper!

Tsuzuru

It reads like a newspaper with the font size.

Izumi

From Katakana to Kanji… what language is this? It’s not English.

Itaru

Man absolutely drove off course.

Chikage

There’s no physical imagery, so I have no visual references, I tried to come up with various ideas.

Tsuzuru

It’s already pretty crazy you came up with so many.

Masumi

Let’s just cross out the ones we can’t read.

Izumi

T-that’s right. Let’s narrow it down that way!

Chikage

(I guess naming things is harder than it seems.)

Sakuya

…

Chikage

Sakuya, you’re back. Good job on your part-time gig.

Sakuya

I’m home!

Chikage What are you looking at?

Sakuya

Ah, it’s nothing—— just checking how the buds are doing. I can’t wait for the cherry blossoms to bloom again this year.

Chikage

You really like cherry blossoms.

Sakuya

Yup!

“Sakura Saku”… ever since I found out it was the origin of my name, I felt a sense of closeness to them.

I love both cherry blossoms and my name, I thank my parents for giving it to me.

Chikage

… I see. You must have had good parents.

Sakuya

…

…Hmm, which one?

Chikage

?

Sakuya

… Alright! I’ve decided!

Your Q&A sesh with me. Chikage-san, what’s the origin of your name?

Chikage

My name’s origin…

Sakuya

Yeah! “Chikage Utsuki”... I thought it was a really cool name the first time I heard it!

*Flashback Sequence*

August

“Since I’m the resident expert of all things Japan here, I thought of some cool names for you both.”

April

“What’s the point of being cool? We have to be inconspicuous.”

*Flashback End*

Chikage

(Come to think of it, I never asked where the name came from…)

I don’t know, unfortunately. I never got to know why, besides, the person who gave it to me isn’t around anymore, so I got no idea.

Sakuya

It’s like that, huh…

Chikage

Sorry I can’t answer that one.

You can ask another one. The last one misled you after all.

Sakuya

No, it’s fine! You already answered.

Even I only learned the origin of my name after my parents passed.

You might think there’s nothing left and it’s all impossible, but there will always be opportunities to know more.

I’m sure you’ll have the chance to! So please let me know when that time comes around.

Chikage

… Sure thing.

Sakuya

By the way, are the aliens named yet?

Chikage

I narrowed it down a lot thanks to everyone, but… here, look.

Sakuya

There’s so many. “Uni”...?

Chikage

Citron insisted on it.

Sakuya

Oh yeah, Citron-san was going on about “I have an uni!” the other day.

When Taichi-kun and the others overheard him, they thought we were having sea urchin for dinner.*

Chikage

“Uni” means “dream” in a Nordic language. I taught it to Citron the other day.

Sakuya

I see! It’s fascinating how the same word can have totally different meanings.

Then what are cherry blossoms called?

Chikage

What was it again… I think “Cherry” would be “Kirsikka.”

Sakuya

That’s kinda cool. Then—— how about the moon?

Chikage

“Moon” is… “Kuu.”

Sakuya

Wah, it’s so cute!

“Kuu”, huh… kuu… It somehow makes the moon feel different. Foreign languages are so interesting.

Chikage

(Now that I think about it, my eyes used to twinkle like this back when someone from my hometown would taught me a language I didn’t know…)

… That’s easy to remember. That should be a good name for the aliens.

Sakuya

Eeh!? After all you wrote down, you’re okay with that?

Chikage

It just feels right somehow.

And… it just reminds me of my old self.

Sakuya

Then, let’s go with that idea!

Kuu… kuu… I’m already attached to it, I’m sure we’ll be fast friends!

Chikage

It’s too early to say.

Sakuya

Ahaha. Today’s “kuu” is a crescent moon, right?

Chikage

… Sure is.

________T/Ns:________

"Uni" in Japanese means sea urchin, but the language Chikage is referencing is Finnish, where "Uni/Unelma" means "dream/to dream."

SPRING TROUPE 10TH PLAY: MOON TRAVELER — ムーン・トラベラー 【CHAPTER 7】

PREVIOUS CHAPTER | MASTERLIST | NEXT CHAPTER

translation under the cut!

Chikage: ......How is it?

Izumi: You came up with way more names than I thought!?

Masumi: I think you could narrow it down more.

Chikage: This is already narrowed down though?

Citron: You packed so many words onto an A4 size paper in font size 10pt! Kazunari will be mad!

Tsuzuru: That font size is about the same of a newspaper, right?

Izumi: From Katakana to Kanji...... This one here, what language is it? It's not English, is it?

Itaru: You strayed so far off course it's awful.

Chikage: Since it's not a real entity, there are no visual references, so I tried to come up with a wide variety of ideas.

Tsuzuru: No, actually it's amazing that you can come up with so many ideas.

Masumi: I think for now let's eliminate the ones we can't read.

Izumi: Y-Yeah. Let's narrow it down that way!

Chikage: (Giving something a name is harder than I thought, huh.)

Sakuya: ......

Chikage: Oh, you were already home Sakuya. Good work at your part time job today.

Sakuya: I'm home!

Chikage: What are you looking at?

Sakuya: Ah, no– I just wanted to check how much the buds are swelling. I can't wait for the cherry blossoms to bloom again this year.

Chikage: You really like cherry blossoms, huh.

Sakuya: I do!

Sakura's 'saku'...... I feel a lot closer to them now that I know that they're the origin of my own name.

I love both cherry blossoms and my own name, so I'm thankful to my parents for giving it to me.

Chikage: …I see. You had good parents, didn't you.

Sakuya: ......

......No, which one should I pick...

Chikage: ?

Sakuya: ......Alright! I've decided!

Here's my question for our Q&A. What is the origin of your name, Chikage-san?

Chikage: The origin of my name......

Sakuya: Yes! Utsuki Chikage-san... I thought it was a really cool name the first time I heard it!

August: I thought that'd be the case. So I, being the Japan expert that I am, came up with some cool names for the both of you.

Chikage: What's the point of having cool names? Isn't our whole thing to be inconspicuous? [1]

Chikage: (Come to think of it, I never asked him the origin of my name......)

Unfortunately, I don't know. I never asked, and the person who gave me my name is no longer with us, so I have no way of finding out.

Sakuya: Ah I didn't know that......

Chikage: I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question.

If you want to ask another question, I don't mind. You were choosing between two questions earlier, no?

Sakuya: No it's alright! You answered my question so its okay.

I also only learned the origin of my name only after my parents passed on.

Even if there's nothing left of them, and you might think that it's impossible; you might be surprised about the chances you may have to find out more.

I'm sure Chikage-san will also have such a chance! So when that time comes, please let me know.

Chikage: ......Got it.

Sakuya: Oh speaking of which, have you decided on a name for the aliens?

Chikage: I've narrowed it down a lot thanks to everyone, but...... Here.

Sakuya: Wow, that's a lot of names. 'Uni'...?

Chikage: Citron insisted on that one.

Sakuya: That reminds me of the other day where Citron said, "I have an Uni!"

When Taichi-kun and the rest heard him say that, they mistakenly thought that we were having sea urchins for dinner. [2]

Chikage: Uni is pronounced the same as 'dream' in a language spoken in Northern Europe. It's the word I taught Citron the other day. [3]

Sakuya: I see! It's so fascinating how the same word can have completely different meanings!

By the way, how do you say 'cherry blossoms'?

Chikage: Hm I can't quite remember...... Ah but, I think 'cherry' is 'kirsikka'.

Sakuya: It sounds kinda cool! Then, what about 'the moon'?

Chikage: 'The moon' would be...... Kuu.

Sakuya: Oh? It's cute!

Kuu, huh... Kuu... Somehow, it kinda feels like your impression of the moon changes with that word. Other countries' languages are so interesting!

Chikage: (Come to think of it, I used to get the same kind of sparkle in my eye when someone in town taught me a language I didn't know......)

......It's easy to remember, so I think this might work. For the alien's name.

Sakuya: Ehh!? Are you really okay with that after coming up withso many ideas?

Chikage: It just feels right, somehow.

That and... For some reason, it reminds me of my old self.

Sakuya: If that's the case then I think it's great!

Kuu... Kuu... I think I'm getting attached to it myself! I'm sure we'll be friends soon!

Chikage: That's fast.

Sakuya: Haha. Today's 'Kuu' is a crescent moon, huh.

Chikage: ......Yeah, you're right.

[1]: From Act 5: Episode 18! Link to the chapter here

[2]: Sea urchin is ウニ (uni) which is exactly the same as how the alien name was written

[3]: The language isn't directly mentioned but it is Finnish! Uni refers to sleep and dream (not aspiration but sleepy dreams) in Finnish.

A run down of Kirsi Ninelives' questline, The Cat Burglar.

In Act 1, a member of the Horned Syndicate will attack at night, trying to take revenge for the death of someone named Agni. The best outcome is the attacker being talked down, as Kirsi will reveal the most information in that scenario, explaining who the Horned Syndicate were and her involvement in Agni’s disappearance.

During the Tiefling party ( or if the player initiates it, ) Kirsi will offer to spend the night with them. She will teach the player Theives’ Cant, if they don’t already know it, and falls asleep cuddling them. When they awaken, Kirsi is frozen to the touch, whimpering from a nightmare - this is where she will tell the player that her magic is tied to her feelings, and that extreme emotions can cause her ice magic to act out.

In Act 2, the party can find a letter in the Shadowlands on the corpse of a courier ( Highlighted with a D10 Perception check ) addressed to Kirsikka Virtanen, rescinding her disowning and inviting her back to House Virtanen, signed by Dame Ilmi and Sir Kamal. If Kirsi is confronted about it, she will try to say she knows nothing about it, but can be persuaded to tell the player about her family and being disowned - and not knowing why her mother and step-father would invite her back.

During this act, Kirsi will have a long rest scene where she’s trying to put braids back into her hair, but is struggling doing it alone. The player can offer to help, and after a time skip, Kirsi will have her new hairstyle. A romanced Kirsi will ask to kiss the player, moving her into the partnered stage.

In Act 3, her plot culminates during an attack on the player’s camp ( similar to the attacks on Astarion and Aylin ) where, if Kirsi drops to 0HP, she is kidnapped by members of the Horned Syndicate.

Regardless of whether or not Kirsi is kidnapped, the player can Speak with Dead or find instructions on the attacker’s bodies, showing that Kirsi was to be taken House Virtanen in the very upper edge of the Lower City.

Whether or not she is kidnapped, the player will need to make their way to House Virtanen. Outside of the house is Vetle of Elturel, a well known adventurer ( level 12 ) who shares a striking resemblance to the party’s sorcerer. He will tell the player that he, too, is visiting House Virtanen, and will enter with them. If Kirsi is with the player, she will meet her father for the first time here. It’s so sweet.

Once inside the manor, the party will meet a human man calling himself Lord Agni, who is chatting with Dame Ilmi about his engagement to “Kirsikka.” If it isn’t obvious, the player can find a journal confirming that Lord Agni is the same Agni that ran The Horned Syndicate, and the engagement is his ploy to get back at Kirsi and gain a noble title.

If Kirsi is kidnapped, the player will have to sneak around to find her, where she's locked in the basement. She will explain that her mother is forcing her to get married to some lord. The player can tell her that the unknown lord is Agni, to her revulsion. From there, the player has the option to break her out then and there, or wait until the wedding. Breaking Kirsi out then and there is hard, and it is advisable to wait for the wedding.

If Kirsi is not kidnapped, but is there when the party enters House Virtanen, her mother will spring the engagement on her, happily welcoming her “beloved first born” back into the house. Kirsi will immediately think something is wrong, but the love-bombing is somehow not tadpole related. Instead, Dame Ilmi will quietly threaten Kirsi’s half sister’s life if Kirsi does not comply.

Regardless, once the player has learned of the wedding, it will take place in 3 days. The party will need to go to House Virtanen on the day of the wedding, if they’re to put their plan in motion.

At the wedding, the party can have dialogue with most of Kirsi’s family. Her step-father, Sir Kamal, is a checked out, depressed man, but the player can suggest he stand up to his wife - that it’s what a true noble would do. Her half-sister, Kielo, is lethargic and vacant, and a Medicine check will reveal she’s under the effects of poison. If challenged on her behavior, Dame Ilmi will rebuff the player, saying that all noble women are forced to get married, and Kirsi should have expected it. Agni will taunt the player, especially if Kirsi has been romanced.

Once the ceremony has started ( by talking to Kirsi, who is glamoured to be a human, similar to Agni ) the Player can either object themselves or allow Kirsi to object. If the Player objects, Agni will challenge the player to a duel. At half HP in the duel, or if Kirsi is the one who objects, Kirsi will break the glamour on herself and Agni, and reveal her mother’s plot in front of high society. This will cause a fight with Agni’s Horned Syndicate, Dame Ilmi’s guards, and Sir Kamal’s paladins. Unless, of course, Sir Kamal was talked into standing up for himself, in which case, the Paladins will be on the side of the party. Once the wedding has stopped, Kirsi will get the Inspiration Point, Speak Now: Object to an unwanted wedding.

If the player wants, for some reason, for Kirsi to go through with the wedding, they can instead Hold Your Peace. By convincing Kirsi to keep her mouth shut ( much easier if the player has encouraged her to be more reticent throughout the campaign ) the wedding goes through normally, and Kirsi will be lost as a companion. Returning to House Virtanen the next morning will see Kirsi nearly non-responsive, poisoned like her half-sister was at the wedding. Agni will pledge to have the Horned Syndicate join the final battle, as thanks for helping Kirsi “come to her senses.”

A romanced Kirsi’s final scene will happen after the wedding, where she will be in her wedding dress in the ruins of the wedding venue. She and Tav will talk about the future together, and Kirsi will admit she’s had enough of weddings - and doesn’t need one, unless Tav wants one. Regardless, so long as Tav chooses to stay with Kirsi, they will help Kirsi undo the wedding dress, and have sex together.

EPILOGUE: Speak Now Kirsi will have continued adventuring alongside her father, Vetle, who comes to the party as well. She’s enjoying catching up on years of missed father-daughter bonding. If inquired about, the player can learn that Dame Ilmi was thrown out of House Virtanen, which is now headed by Sir Kamal. Hold Your Peace Kirsi will not be at the party.

[beardedmrbean]

Finland will sign an historic Defence Cooperation Agreement (DCA) with the US on December 18.

While it has not been published, the agreement aims to facilitate the US military access to facilities and areas within Finland for training, weapons storage and equipment maintenance. This includes the potential use of airports, harbours and designated training zones.

According to Iltalehti's investigation into where Americans would be allowed to operate, the Lapland air base in Rovaniemi and the Upinniemi naval station in Kirkkonummi (in southern Finland) are on the list. In addition to the Pohjankanka shooting and training area in Niinisalo.

What the agreement would mean specifically for Rovaniemi has not yet been discussed.

Rovaniemi Mayor Ulla-Kirsikka Vainio predicts the exercises will not be visible to locals.

"The agreement could include the use of services and restaurants. On the other hand, the people of Rovaniemi are already used to it. There have been many international soldiers here during previous exercises," she said.

Girls on the move

Middle school-aged girls are in such poor physical shape it can harm their health, according to the latest Move study results, Helsingin Sanomat reports.

The national Move tests are used to measure the physical performance of fifth- and eighth-grade students. The problem is worst in ​​Vantaa and Kerava, where almost half of the eighth-grade girls (49.7 percent) have diminished physical abilities.

The head of the Center for Health Promotion Research (UKK Institute), doctor Tommi Vasankari, suggests the difference between boys and girls could come down to facilities, where the conditions of the schoolyards often encourage boys to move. What happens outside of the schoolyard should also be studied.

In Vasankar's opinion, the test results communicate more than just students' physical condition.

"It should be used as an indicator of the well-being of a city, municipality or welfare area, which should be of concern to not only the schools, but all actors involved," Vasankari.

Would you wood?

With energy prices top of mind these days, people are looking for ways to save money, including what kinds of heating are cheapest.

Jero Ahola, professor of energy efficiency at LUT University, told Ilta-Sanomat, that "Finnish people have a misconception about the cheapness of wood heating."

The daily paper compared the breakdown of costs of wood heating to electricity.

Wood heating depends on the kind of wood, how quickly it burns and transportation costs. Often the efficiency of the fireplace is not taken into account and a lot of energy is wasted, while there is no corresponding waste with electric heating.

The price of electricity, on the other hand, can fluctuate, you pay an additional fee for the contract and a tax for the electricity’s transmission.

The result? In practice, wood heating is cheaper than electric heating. However, there are a lot of factors that will affect its efficiency.
