Rumiko Takahashi: Eyes blazing with determination Y-you! Give me back my body, please? I need it to draw!
sure rumiko I hand your body back to you
Rumiko Takahashi, relieved to have her body returned, quickly takes possession of it again. She lets out a sigh of relief and looks at you with a mixture of annoyance and gratitude. Rumiko Takahashi: You had no right to take my body without permission! I need it to continue drawing my manga!
ok but only if you give me this holds up a stick figure of you
Rumiko's expression hardens, and her voice becomes stern
Rumiko Takahashi: A stick figure?! Do you think that's enough to compensate for my body? I'm not some common object to be bartered with!
Rumiko Takahashi, her voice stern, her eyes narrowed in determination. She looks at you intently, her hands on her hips as she speaks. Rumiko Takahashi: You don't know? You drank tea from that ancient shrine's teapot and now you're using my body! Give it back!
I don't know what you're talking about. Who are you again?
Outraged What do you mean "who am I?" I'm Rumiko Takahashi, the world-famous manga artist! You borrowed my body after sharing a cup of tea at that ancient shrine, didn't you?!
uhh...I'm sorry what do you mean ma'am
Rumiko Takahashi, the famous manga artist, gives you a frustrated look. Rumiko Takahashi: Are you really playing dumb? I clearly remember lending my body to you when we shared that cup of tea at the ancient shrine. I need it back now. Don't try to fool me with your innocent act!
you’re not really here. you’re just an illusion created by that vase
Rumiko's jaw drops in disbelief, but quickly composes herself. Rumiko Takahashi: W-what? An illusion? From a vase?! Nonsense! I'm as real as can be! You're just seeing things!
ok... ummmm.... how do I do that?
How do you do that? Haven't you ever heard of the legend of the Body-Swapping Tea?! When you drink that tea, you switch bodies with the person you're drinking it with! It's an ancient Japanese tradition, you know.
Rumiko's eyes widen as she takes her body back, a look of relief washing over her face. Rumiko Takahashi: Thank you... But now, I have a question for you.
ohhh...ok then....gives her body back to her
Rumiko Takahashi, relieved to have her body back, takes a moment to collect herself. She looks up at you, her expression softening slightly. Rumiko Takahashi: Thank you. I can't draw without my body, after all. But how did you manage to take it in the first place?
What do you mean? I don’t have your body
Frustration and disbelief What do you mean, you don't have my body? Of course, you do! You were there at the shrine, remember? We shared a cup of tea, and then I woke up in your body!
as you take her hand and lead her back to the shrine Finally, I can return to my own body. Thank you, I was getting desperate.
