COPENHAGEN, DAY 1.
真: What do you think of this one?
彩: It's orange.
真: I love orange!
笑子: But it isn't your best colour.
真: What?! I've worn orange so often and no one has ever told me this?
彩: You can't say to a person who's already put something on and looks happy in it, 'not your best look'. That would be rude.
笑子: It would be so rude.
真: Still, you're telling me now...
彩: You haven't bought the dress yet, though.
真: And now I'm definitely not!
笑子: She's probably happy that she's in the one-man suite tonight now, huh?
彩: I didn't mean to hurt her feelings, but I'd rather not she puts on something weird for our last week. This jazz festival is the biggest one, after all.
笑子: Yeah, there's a lot of people here. Do you think we have enough flyers or should we print more?
彩: Print more. Better safe than sorry.
笑子: I agree.
彩: We shoud take a walk through this neighbourhood and pick a spot.
笑子: I'll find Mai-chan in a moment... You have the permit from the council?
彩: It's with my passport.
笑子: Good, I'll go find her.
彩: Wait, wait, wait! What do you think of this one?
笑子: Also orange.
彩: But orange is a good colour on me, right?
笑子: Don't taunt Mai-chan like that! That would be cruel.
彩: Okay, okay, but what about this one, then?
真: No, you should pick a red dress to fit your name. Like this one.
彩: Mai-chan!
笑子: We were mean to you, sorry.
真: Don't worry about it. Don't you think Akane-chan would look stunning in this red dress?
笑子: She'd steal the show.
真: As long as she doesn't stop it.
笑子: No one would look twice at us, Mai-chan.
真: That's the point, because then I can wear this orange shirt...
彩: Mai-chan...
笑子: No, I think she makes a good argument! Buy that red dress, Akane-chan. I'll wear these funny shoes!
真: They're great!
彩: You two...
笑子: The most eye-catching band in the entire city! The Grand Tour Jazz Band!
彩: Fine. I'll buy this dress, just give me a moment to try it on for size. Haven't got used to how they size things around here.
真: Make sure it's tight-fitting, really showing off your boobs and your butt.
彩: We're a jazz band, not a cabaret!
笑子: What a sensation we'd be, if we were both, right?
真: Tight fit, tight fit, tight fit!
彩: Tight-fitting enough?
笑子: Wow, Akane-chan looks like a Hollywood movie star!
彩: This is just a cheap brand...
真: We're talking about you, silly. The dress is only an accessory.
笑子: Now her face is as red as her dress.
真: And her name.
彩: I'm gonna book my own room tonight, if you keep this up.
笑子: No, you're not.
真: You love us, Akane-chan. Even if you can't sleep with us, you looooove us.
彩: I guess friends like that have to forgive ugly shoes and orange shirts and boobs and butts.
真: We're here for the noise, not for the looks anyway.
笑子: True, true.
彩: Now I think I should get a new shoulder strap for my banjo, a red one to go with the rest.
笑子: Where, though?
真: We'll find a place, we should walk a round under any circumstances.
彩: And get changed.
真: Definitely get changed!
笑子: Let's go.
