\say Oyaji: Pai... Take this...

\say Oyaji: Someday... I'll make you human...

\say Oyaji: I promise...

\medskip

\say Yakumo: The gods of fate were definitely having some fun that night...

\say Yakumo: Maybe... If I hadn't have been late for work...

\say Keikan: Hey!  This's a pedestrian area!

\say Yakumo: Heh heh...  'Scuse me!

\say Yakumo: Man, if I'm late, Mama's gonna kill me!

\say Yakumo: Outta the way!  Move it!

\say Yakumo: Sorry!

\say Yakumo: Gangway!  Comin' through!

\say Yakumo: Ow ow ow...

\say Yakumo: Hey...

\say Yakumo: You OK?

\say Yakumo: I, uh, didn't see you...

\say Yakumo: Are you Chinese?  What's your name?

\say Pai: Pai.

\say Yakumo: "Pai," huh?  I'm...

\say Yakumo: Oh, this get-up?

\say Yakumo: Don't worry...  I'm not a transvestite...

\say Yakumo: When I was a kid, mom got fed up with pop and left home.

\say Yakumo: Then, four years ago, dad left for Tibet, and then disappeared...

\say Yakumo: I didn't have much choice, so I got into this line of work.

\say Pai: Very scientific talk...

\say Yakumo: Does she really understand Japanese?

\say Yakumo: Geez, she's filthy...  She ever heard of a bathtub?

\say Okama1: Hey Yakumo, what's with the girl?

\say Okama2: I thought girls weren't your strong suit...

\say Okama1: Well, he IS 16 now...

\say Okama1: Guess he's gotten into the kinky stuff...

\say Yakumo: Knock it off!

\say Pai: Yakumo?

\say Yakumo: Yeah... My name's Yakumo...

\say Pai: Yakumo... Fujii?  Professor Fujii's son, Yakumo?

\say Yakumo: How'd you...?

\say Pai: I found you!  I finally found you!

\say Pai: It's been four years since I left Tibet!

\say Yakumo: What the...?

\say Mama: Asshole!

\say Mama: Don't make the customers cry in here!

\say Yakumo: Mama!  Help me!

\say Mama: Why should I?

\say Yakumo: Hey!

\say Okama2: Eyewww...

\say Pai: Professor Fujii...

\say Yakumo: Dad?!

\say Okama2: She says he's a professor...

\say Okama1: Yakumo's father was famous, wasn't he?

\say Yakumo: Nah... He was just a folklore specialist with a thing for the supernatural...

\say Yakumo: I can understand why mom left him...

\say Oyaji: "How are you, Yakumo?"

\say Oyaji: "I am on my way to Kunmin from Tibet, but, unfortunately,

\say Oyaji: it looks like your father will be leaving this earth right here."

\say Oyaji: "However, the girl who has this letter is looking for you..."

\say Oyaji: "Her name is Pai.  She's a kind girl who nursed me back to health."

\say Oyaji: "More importantly, she is one of the legendary beings that I have spent my life searching for,

\say Oyaji: who, it is said, have the power of eternal youth."

\say Oyaji: "She is the last surviving triclops -- the last of the 'Sanjyanunkara.'"

\say Yakumo: The 'Sanjiyanunkara?'

\say Oyaji: "Biologically, the triclopes are a species that evolved differently..."

\say Oyaji: "Commonly, they're 'monsters.'"

\say Oyaji: "Pai still doesn't know how to use the power of eternal youth,

\say Oyaji: but she says she's been alive for about 300 years..."

\say Pai: Hey, professor, Pai wants to become human, too...

\say Oyaji: Sure...  If I can...

\say Pai: Really?!

\say Oyaji: "Long ago, they were fascinated by humans, so, when they found a means of doing so,

\say Oyaji: the triclopes took upon themselves the brief lifespan of humans."

\say Oyaji: "Right now, it looks like Pai is the last of the triclopes."

\say Pai: What can Pai do to become human?

\say Oyaji: Take this with you...

\say Oyaji: When I die, my son, Yakumo, will make you human...

\say Oyaji: "To become human, the 'Statue of Humanity,' is necessary.  A picture of it is enclosed."

\say Oyaji: "The Statue of Humanity is at a company in Hong Kong called the 'Yogekisha.'"

\say Oyaji: "Please, Yakumo!  Take Pai to Hong Kong to pick up the Statue of Humanity!  Please"

\say Yakumo: He can't be serious!

\say Yakumo: What's with this "Hong Kong" shit?!

\say Yakumo: He can't tell me to just drop everything...!

\say Yakumo: Why should I do anything for that grubby little...

\say Okama2: It took some work, but I fixed her up a bit...

\say Pai: Don't I look strange, Yakumo?

\say Yakumo: C..cute...

\say Yakumo: But that's got nothing to do with it!

\say Yakumo: There's no such thing as monsters!

\say Announcer: Please look at this!  It suddenly appeared in the skies above the Shinjuku area!  What on earth is it?

\say Kyakusan: What the...?

\say Pai: Takuhi!

\say Yakumo: So what's this "Takuhi" thing?!

\say Pai: He's my friend who lives in my staff!

\say Yakumo: Huh?!  Try not to introduce us, OK?

\say Pai: When he gets excited, he loses control -- if we don't calm him down soon, he'll get REALLY dangerous!

\say Yakumo: Leave me outta this!

\say Pai: Stop!  Don't you recognize me?!

\say Yakumo: Ow!

\say Pai: Takuhi!  Stop!

\say Yakumo: No way...

\say Pai: N..no...

\say Yakumo: I'm gonna die...

\say Pai: Don't die!  Yakumo!

\say Yakumo: I don't believe it...

\say Yakumo: She really isn't human...

\say Pai: Takuhi!  Calm yourself!

\say Yakumo: I..I could've sworn that that Tahuhi thing...

\say Yakumo: My clothes are wrecked, but I'm not hurt...

\say Yakumo: It wasn't a dream, was it?

\say Yakumo: She was trying to protect me...

\say Yakumo: Hong Kong, huh?

\say Yakumo: Well, we finally made it to Hong Kong!

\say Yakumo: And what the hell's this mark?

\say Yakumo: It's a real pain...

\say Pai: Yakumo!  Hurry!  Hurry!

\say Pai: Let's get to the Yogekisha!

\say Yakumo: What're you smiling about?  I'm in a bad mood...

\say Pai: I'm gonna be human soon!

\say Pai: I'm really happy!

\say Yakumo: Are humans that great?

\say Yakumo: Say, Pai... Why do you want to be a human so badly?

\say Pai: Don't know...

\say Pai: I've wanted it for 300 years, but I forgot why...

\say Yakumo: What an airhead...

\say Pai: Found it, Yakumo!

\say Pai: This is it!

\say Yakumo: Yep, no mistaking it -- this is it!

\say Pai: This Statue of Humanity is here, right?

\say Pai: Pai's gonna be made human, right?

\say Ling-Ling: H..hey!

\say Ling-Ling: Hang on a second, you people!

\say Pai: The Statue of Humanity!

\say Yakumo: Come back here!

\say Yakumo: Aw, shit!

\say Pai: Yakumo!  Look out!

\say Ling-Ling: He must've died on the spot...

\say Yakumo: Yep!

\say Yakumo: Ow...  Huh?

\say Yakumo: Huh?  What happened?

\say Pai: I'm so glad...

\say Ling-Ling: H..hey, you!

\say Ling-Ling: You're OK?

\say Yakumo: Looked like he was about to hit me, but I guess he missed...

\say Ling-Ling: He MISSED?!

\say Pai: The Statue of Humanity is gone!

\say Ling-Ling: So, you're Professor Fujii's son?

\say Yakumo: Yeah.  Well?

\say Ling-Ling: Yeah, this's the one that the professor left...

\say Ling-Ling: He said that it was important for some reason, so he stashed a tracker in it.  Pretty handy... 

\say Yakumo: So, who were those guys?

\say Ling-Ling: You tell me...

\say Yakumo: So, what does the Yogekisha do?

\say Ling-Ling: We publish a magazine that specializes in the occult.  I'm the assistant editor.

\say Ling-Ling: AND the only employee...

\say Pai: This is the thief's house?

\say Yakumo: Man!  That place is huge!

\say Ling-Ling: Antique thieves and a millionaire...  What's the connection...?

\say Ling-Ling: If we pull this off, we ought to be able to collect damages...

\say Ling-Ling: I wonder if this'll sound reasonable...

\say Yakumo: Ling-Ling, hurry up!

\say Yakumo: This place sure is spooky -- I wonder if there are any monsters here...

\say Ling-Ling: C'mon, Yakumo -- unscientific stuff like that don't exist!

\say Yakumo: But didn't you say that the Yogekisha specializes in the occult?

\say Ling-Ling: That's just my job!  If there's money in it, it's OK...

\say Yakumo: Hey!  That's fraud!

\say Yakumo: What's the matter, Pai?

\say Pai: ...feel something...  Pai feels something...

\say Pai: The Statue of Humanity!

\say Pai: The Statue of Humanity...  It's here...

\say Pai: This can make Pai human...

\say Ling-Ling: Who are you?

\say Huan: I'm Huan -- the mistress of this mansion.

\say Ling-Ling: You probably don't feel that way right now...

\say Huan: After my husband died in a freak accident a year ago, strange creatures began to appear in the mansion.

\say Huan: And then, wierd things started to happen...  Like what happened to me tonight...

\say Yakumo: They're those creatures!

\say Yakumo: They stole this from the Yogekisha!

\say Huan: Now that you mention it, I haven't seen that before.  Certainly a strange-looking statue...

\say Ling-Ling: We call it "The Statue of Humanity," but we don't really know much about it.

\say Huan: Is that so...

\say Chou: What are you doing over there?

\say Huan: Chou!

\say Chou: Mistress!

\say Chou: Who are you people?!

\say Ling-Ling: Ah... I'm Ling-Ling Lee of the Yogekisha.

\say Ling-Ling: We traced this antique here, which was just stolen from our company -- but we aren't suspicious at all!

\say Ling-Ling: But, first, leave your monster-extermination problems to the professionals!   

\say Ling-Ling: Hmmm...  necessary expenses'd be...  hmmm... quite a bargain at a mere \$3000 a day!

\say Yakumo: Hey!  Didn't you just say that there's no such thing as...

\say Ling-Ling: It's OK if there's money involved!  We found the statue, right?  So butt out!

\say Huan: It doesn't look like they know anything about the statue...

\say Chou: In that case...

\say Ling-Ling: Geez!

\say Ling-Ling: And, if you act now, I'll throw in these high-quality wards!

\say Ling-Ling: They're a bargain in sets of ten, and they're easy to use!

\say Chou: We don't need any!

\say Ling-Ling: Well, I guess we'll be heading back to work now...

\say Chou: That won't be necessary.

\say Chou: I'll just have to kill all of you in self-defense.

\say Yakumo: You've gotta be kidding, old man!

\say Chou: I'm serious.

\say Ling-Ling: So, you admit that you were the thief?

\say Chou: I merely had something that will serve an important purpose brought here.

\say Chou: Time to say goodbye...

\say Ling-Ling: Run!

\say Huan: Do they seriously think that they can escape?

\say Yakumo: Man, Ling-Ling -- you're good!

\say Ling-Ling: Comes from living in Hong Kong!

\say Pai: You said that you don't believe in monsters, but you were still carrying around that ward!

\say Ling-Ling: That was business, too!  Business!

\say Yakumo: Shit!  They got me!

\say Lackey: A zombie!

\say Peon: A zombie?

\say Lackey: This guy's a zombie!

\say Peon: A zombie...

\say Ling-Ling: Yakumo!  C'mon!  Move it!

\say Ling-Ling: What happened?!  It looked like you got shot!

\say Yakumo: Zombie...?

\say Yakumo: Hey, Ling-Ling!  Do you know what a "zombie" is?

\say Ling-Ling: "Zombie..."  Now, where have I...

\say Ling-Ling: Oh, yeah!  Professor Fujii!

\say Oyaji: "The Triclopes:  Three-eyed, mystical creatures.  Immortal; beautiful in appearance."

\say Oyaji: "Often bewitch the human heart and devour the souls of humans."

\say Oyaji: "The person whose soul has been devoured becomes an undead -- one whose body will not die."

\say Oyaji: "And on the forehead of the undead will appear the mark 'Uu.'"

\say Ling-Ling: Heck, people made up that story a long time ago...

\say Ling-Ling: Hmm... I wonder if we'll ever make it out of here...

\say Yakumo: She's right, isn't she?

\say Yakumo: You ATE my soul, didn't you?!

\say Ling-Ling: No way!

\say Yakumo: You ATE my soul, Pai?

\say Yakumo: It's coming again!

\say Pai: I didn't "eat" your soul...

\say Pai: These are just demons that are temporarily phased into this dimensions.

\say Yakumo: Who are you?!  You aren't Pai, are you?!

\say Pai: I didn't "eat" your soul -- I only merged it with my own!

\say Yakumo: My soul... and your soul...?!

\say Pai: That is how I saved you in Shinjuku...

\say Pai: And now that your body is indestructible, I won't need to do so again...

\say Pai: We are now one.

\say Pai: If I die, you will die, too.  If I become human, you, too, will become human once more.

\say Pai: What's the point of having a zombie if he can't handle something like this by himself...

\say Yakumo: Are you all right?

\say Chou: So, you destroyed my Tohchao, huh?  What the hell are you people?

\say Yakumo: I don't know for sure, but ,somehow, I don't think we're normal humans...

\say Chou: If you give back the Statue of Humanity, I'll let you leave.

\say Pai: No!  This can make Pai human, so it's a really important statue!

\say Chou: Is that so?

\say Chou: Come, Sohkai!

\say Chou: Sohkai!  Kill the punk and the girl!

\say Yakumo: Get out of here...

\say Yakumo: Get out of here, triclops...  You said I should fight by myself, didn't you?

\say Pai: Over here, Mister Monster!  If you don't come this way, I won't give you the statue!

\say Yakumo: You idiot!  Stop it!  Get out of here with the statue!

\say Yakumo: If you give it to him, you won't be able to become human!

\say Pai: Hurry!  I don't want to die!

\say Yakumo: Get out of here!  Hurry!

\say Yakumo: Yeah!

\say Yakumo: If I can reach it...

\say Pai: No!

\say Chou: Shut up!  This belongs to Lord Kaiyanwan!

\say Yakumo: Who's this "Kaiyanwan?"

\say Chou: A zombie!

\say Chou: That's ridiculous!

\say Ling-Ling: I wouldn't try to run away.

\say Chou: W..why...?

\say Huan: You killed my husband, didn't you?

\say Huan: I'll take that statue back, now. 

\say Pai: S..stop!

\say Chou: So, you've betrayed me, Shunkai?

\say Pai: Don't die!

\say Chou: Do you think I'm just going to GIVE this to you?!

\say Huan: Chou, you bastard!

\say Chou: If you want to find the statue, you'll have to work for it...

\say Yakumo: Man... We went to all that trouble, and for what...?

\say Pai: It's OK -- at least Yakumo's safe.

\say Pai: But the Stutue of Humanity is gone, isn't it...

\say Yakumo: Just leave it to me!

\say Yakumo: I'll turn you into a human yet!

\say Pai: Really?  Really, Yakumo?

\say Yakumo: Yep.

\say Yakumo: But I have NO idea how...

\say Yakumo: H..hey!  Waitaminute!  That tickles!  Hey!

\say Shunkai: I apologize, Lord Kaiyanwan.  

\say Shunkai: I will get back the Statue of Humanity by the time of your rebirth.

\say Shunkai: Please forgive me.

\say Shunkai: A boy with the mark of the undead...

\say Shunkai: How interesting...
