TALES OF THE RAYS: VAN'S 2ND SKIT (ENGLISH TRANSLATION)

MASTERPOST

For some reason, I was captivated by everyone's favorite Commandant yesterday. So instead of a story update, I've decided to post a random skit of his that made me feel very soft. btw for people who don't know Rays Lore, this skit is about Van talking to Mercuria, who is the 12-year-old princess of a nation that got obliterated into nothing by a weapon. Her mom died in front of her and all she has left is her older brother. Her goal is that she wants to revive everyone who died using a technology similar to replicas. For completely unknown reasons, Van seems to resonate with this and joins her. Who knows why. It is a mystery.

For Sleepless Nights

Mercuria: *huff, huff* I’m no use to anyone if an arte like this tires me out so much. I have to train more… はぁ……はぁ……。これしきの術で息が切れるようでは役に立てぬ。もっと鍛錬を……。

[ Van enters ]

Van: It’s going to take more than that to improve your accuracy. がむしゃらに続けても精度はあがらぬぞ。

Mercuria: Van…!? Were you watching me? ヴァン……！ 見ていたのか。

Van: No, I was simply passing by. I apologize for disturbing your practice. Please get to bed soon, Princess, it’s very late now. いや、今しがた通りがかっただけだ。邪魔をした。夜も遅い、皇女殿も早く眠りなさい。

Mercuria: Ah, wait a moment. How exactly does someone improve accuracy? あっ、待ってくれ。精度を上げるとは、どうすればよいのじゃ？

Van: Let’s see… You should start with breathing techniques and martial artes. Even a caster such as yourself needs a solid foundation. そうだな……まずは呼吸法と体術を学ぶといい。術者とはいえ、ある程度の基礎は必要だ。

Mercuria: I see. I need to improve my physical strength. I was only focused on improving my mirristry skills. なるほど。体力も必要か。わらわは魔鏡術を磨くことばかりを考えておった。

Van: If you would like advice on that, you should seek out Legretta. It would benefit you to ask her. 教えを乞うのであればリグレットが適任だろう。頼んでみるといい。

Mercuria: I will. However, the fact that you picked out my shortcomings at just a glance… I think that you would be a wonderful teacher. 承知した。しかし、あれだけでわらわの至らぬ点を見抜くとはのう……。そなたは良き師となること間違いなしじゃ。

Van: Well now… you think so? Putting that aside, why are you training at such an hour? さて……どうだろうな。それよりも、何故このような時間に鍛錬をしている。

Mercuria: I woke up because I had a bad dream… I dreamed that I lost my older brother. 夢見が悪くて目が覚めてしまった。……兄上様を失う夢じゃった。

Mercuria: My brother is with me now, no matter what form he’s in. But so much is changing, I have no idea what might happen to him. My heart hurts when I think about it… どんな形であれ、今、兄上様はそばにいる。しかしこれから先はどうなるかわからぬ。そう考えると胸が苦しくて……。

Van: So you were training to try and dispel your anxiety. あれは不安を打ち消すための鍛錬だったか。

Mercuria: Anxiety… Yes, that’s it. I suppose that I’m anxious right now because I don’t know what will happen to my brother. 不安……、そうじゃな。わらわは不安なのであろう。兄上様の身に何が起こるかわからぬゆえ。

Mercuria: If only we could see the future, my dreams wouldn’t bother me so. 未来が見えればこのような夢に惑わされぬものを。

Van: No, it is precisely because we can’t see what fate has in store that we can have hope. It makes us want to do everything we can. いや、先が見えぬからこそ希望を持つことができる。手を尽くそうとも思えるのだ。

Van: Listen closely, Mercuria. Even if your training doesn’t improve your skill as much as you like, it is still a step forward to gaining the power to help your brother. 聞きなさい、メルクリア。たとえ今夜の鍛錬の成果が微々たるものだとしてもそれはいつか兄を助ける力となるだろう。

Van: Perhaps you had that nightmare in order to encourage you to gain that power. その力を身につけるために悪夢を見たのだ、と思ってはどうだ。

Mercuria: …I think you’re right. I’ll try to start thinking like that. But even so, I don’t know how I’m going to fall back asleep. ……そうじゃな。そのように考えるよう努力する。そうは言うても、簡単には寝つけぬだろうな。

Van: …My sister came to me often when she would have scary dreams and struggled to sleep. She would ask me to sing lullabies for her. ……妹も、よく怖い夢を見て眠れなくなると私のところへ来ていたな。その度に子守歌をせがまれたものだ。

Mercuria: Really, you singing a lullaby? Um…could you sing one for me, too? なんと、ヴァンが子守歌を？あの……よければ聴かせてくれぬか？

Mercuria: No one has sung a lullaby to me since my mother passed away. I’d really like to hear one again… 母上様が亡くなられてからわらわに子守歌を��ってくれる者など誰一人いなかった。また聴けるものなら……。

Van: I… それは……。

Mercuria: I-I’m sorry… That was selfish of me. I didn’t mean to trouble you… す、すまぬ……。甘えであったな。困らせるつもりはなかったのじゃ……。

Van: ………………。

Van: Now, Princess, I want you to promise me one thing first. Keep it a secret between us that I sang for you. では皇女殿、一つ約束して欲しい。私が歌を歌ったことは私と皇女殿、二人だけの秘密にすると。

Mercuria: O-Okay! I promise! I’m really grateful, Van! わ、わかった！約束する！感謝するぞ、ヴァン！

“I have always had the temperament of an actress, which is just an excuse for volatile behaviour.” Sylvia Miles quoted in People magazine in 1976.

Born on this date 100 years ago: wild, fiercely abrasive, and utterly distinctive character actress of stage and screen and New York scene-maker (9 September 1924 – 12 June 2019). Instantly recognizable for her nasal nicotine-stained rasp, lion’s mane of dishevelled blonde hair and angular, raw-boned beauty, Miles could give masterclasses in scene-stealing and had the volcanic, uninhibited disposition of an American Anna Magnani. Onstage Miles acted in plays by Jean Genet, Tennessee Williams and Eugene O’Neill, but she’s inevitably best-remembered for her performance as a brassy middle-aged hooker in Midnight Cowboy (1969), for which she was Oscar-nominated for Best Supporting Actress despite only appearing onscreen for approximately six minutes. But I like Miles even better in the 1972 twisted black comedy Heat (produced by Andy Warhol, directed by Paul Morrissey), starring opposite a frequently naked Joe Dallesandro. Miles reliably invested blowtorch intensity to every portrayal. The last thing I ever recall seeing Miles in was a 2002 episode of Sex and The City as a geriatric bag lady in a diner, sprinkling lithium on her chocolate ice cream. She’s meant to represent a warning to Carrie Bradshaw (if she grows old and single in New York, this could be her fate). I’d argue you could do a lot worse than grow old to be Sylvia Miles! In his affectionate eulogy for Miles in Paper magazine, her friend veteran New York showbiz columnist extraordinaire Michael Musto recounted the possibly apocryphal anecdote about Miles at The Russian Tea Room: “a waiter allegedly asked, "How do you like your coffee, Miss Miles?" Sylvia saucily replied, "Like I like my men." The waiter shot back: "Sorry, we don't serve gay coffee.” She truly was “one hell of a gorgeous chick!”

Eddie’s Emcee to Broadway?

Another report — this from the LGBTQ news source Queerty — that Eddie Redmayne will bring Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club to Broadway. The production won seven Olivier Awards (the British equivalent of the Tonys) in London in 2022, among them all four musical acting honors, including Eddie’s star turn as the Emcee.

Details + speculation on the “3 tantalizing choices” for Sally Bowles (sorry— Jessie Buckley isn’t among them) by clicking below.

Beyond casting is the question of how much of the stylized + highly praised “immersive” nightclub setting would be replicated. (Photos: @marcsbrenner in @Queerty article; Oliviers from @JustJared; @kitkatclubldn + B&W Redmayne from @atg_prods.)

Uh... hi everyone!

Wow, BONES has gotten some legs this year, eh? Thanks so much for the tremendous amount of lovely feedback and sharing y'all have done - I am always interested to hear what people interpret the story being about, or what it means to you.

If you're new to following me, hello hello and thank you double! My name is Jackie, I make comics and illustrations and lots of other things. On tumblr I post just about everything art related, but if you're interested in ramblings or following me on other platforms, please check out my carrd which has all the relevant links - including my ko-fi if you feel like being particularly generous.

For other comics I've done, Kay and P is the story of a girl who's best friend is a skeleton - but no one can see the skeleton but her! Jus completed a few years ago, this mammoth webcomic hovers in the 1000 page range, so buckle up for that one.

My other webcomic is The Adventures of Lady Skylark, which is a sky pirate adventure romp about the lovely Lady recapturing her stolen air vessel from her sneaky first mate and getting embroiled in some dispute over an artifact. This one is a much more modest 200ish pages, ha ha.

Once again, my sincere thanks. If you have any questions or asks, feel free to shoot them my way! (And for those of you pondering, yeah I'm thinking of making a print run of BONES - I'll keep you posted! Im in the middle of a huge freelance project right now so it might be a hot second.)
