Chapter 37: Lastation and Lowee Training
It's not long at all before we reach the high tech training complex in Noire's mansion, in which I choose to go there as I wanted to see the firing range that Noire has in her mansion. I do so considering the reputation I believe it to have from what I've seen outside her skyscraper, the features I've seen already, and her magnificent descriptions of it. I wanted to go to every part and see and experience myself this amazing place of hers, and I am pleased that I'll get a chance to see more of it after it being a good dozen of chapters since. I can imagine that with it being in Noire's mansion it will be the biggest, the best and most revolutionary training complex I've ever seen and trumps them all.
The place is split into various sections, and even though it's a training complex it's very new and futuristic, as if it's been built yesterday and made fully operational on that day, it also actually looks like a very nice place. It's full of posters of different sizes of the CPUs encouraging the people here to train well and provide good humour, and the facilities here are all of spectacular quality. In fact the areas can be customised to provide different themes and the smells and sounds and weather conditions to simulate it. Whether its heat, snow, wind or rain or even control the light as to whether it's day time or night time, and even different visibility conditions.
As I look around, it astonishes me that they do all sorts of combat training, you name it they do it, and there are loads of different obstacles where appropriate to indicate the difficulty along with screens telling people how they're doing, along with overall stats for each person in there. The section we're in consists of various forms of training, there's: platform training, melee combat, unarmed combat, firing range and a gym for training involving the entire body itself. They must in fact cover any aspect one can think off. Very impressive to cover such a wide area, considering all the possibilities that can happen out there.
"Wow there's people training in all sorts of stuff." Ram gasps as she looks around taking it all in, her body language expressing much amazement.
I'm amazed too as everywhere we look people are working hard training in different aspects, there's also a couple of Loweeans here as well. They are also seeking advice, discussing methods to improve and are having friendly competitions concerning certain aspects of training. It's a lovely atmosphere, and I get the feeling that friendships, relationships have been made in these sorts of facilities.
"Out of curiosity is there anything you lot can do with regards to combat?" I ask them with a friendly smile, eager to know so I can bear it in mind for the future.
I ask them because it is important for me to know what skills they have, as well as what skills they need to be able to do.
"I'm not sure. I seem to be able to do stuff I didn't think I could do before, I mean I can drive cars, fire different fire arms and I'm good at unarmed combat. But I know lots of people in Lowee can do this:" White says in a friendly way with her tone and smile while trying to think long and hard with regards her abilities.
She then gets out a cloak and puts it on her, which makes her invisible to the human eye. But due to my special visions such as heat and night along with magnetic, I am able to see her and recognise her. Besides she's a friendly so even in normal vision my HUD tells me exactly where she is. As she becomes invisible I switch on the optical camouflage on my clothes. Interesting how despite Lowee having cloaks and Lastation having optical camouflage, both nation's troops can become invisible to the naked eye, it reminds of food production, and how it's the case for all of abilities with Lastation having futuristic technology to Lowee having magical abilities. After a little while she takes her cloak off and I switch my optical camouflage off as well.
"You must be similar to me White, I'm sure I have plenty of skills I don't even know about. OK what skills do you have Rom and Ram?" I ask them both in the same manner with the same amount of curiosity.
"I am able to call in plenty of support as well as use a bit of magic for combat." Ram explains to me with confidence and a smile.
"Erm….my magic can heal lots of people, but just like Ram we are Pokémon trainers and have various Pokémon. These are: Plusle, Minum, Ledyba, Spianarak, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Esperon, Umbreon, Solrock, Lunatone, Kabuto and Omanyte…" Rom explains having to think at first but grows more confident as she carries on talking. In fact I can't help but notice how more confident she is than in the series.
While I vaguely remember the names of the Pokémon, they do appear to be Pokémon that complement others, or Pokémon that I can imagine being paired up, and I think if I remember correctly there were twin Pokémon trainers, and fought as a duo. It's only logical though since Rom and Ram are twins and both represent the Nintendo DS dual screen, with Rom being the one at the top, while Ram being the one at the bottom. Furthermore, they are often seen together and their appearances are similar and have similar ages.
"…though right now they are being given a brain wash scan, I hope they're OK. I think they'd be very useful in combat, I think they're all level 100. Also like Ram I can do this:" Rom finishes off after speaking with enthusiasm before mentioning the brain scan in which she sounded depressed, but quickly recovered to normal afterwards.
With a confident friendly look, she then runs along a nearby wall for about a dozen seconds, only to grab on to a platform hanging from the very wall she ran up. She then climbs up the platform and then quickly runs up the wall, only to jump from the wall to a nearby bar hanging from the ceiling. She then turns around only for her to do a couple of swings on the bar enjoying herself, after which she then releases her grip from the bars at the right moment, as she then falls through the air only to grab onto another bar with perfect timing, smiling as if it's effortless and second nature to her.
Next she does a couple of swings again, and like before she let's go only to then grab hold onto a column this time. She then climbs up the column and noticing some eagles flying away, she then does what I think if my amnesia infested memory serves, is known as an Eagle leap. As she then falls and lands in a cart full of hay, providing her a soft landing with a friendly smile. Amazing, I never knew she could do that. I wonder whether she has worked in the dark to serve the light, and follows a creed where nothing is true and everything is permitted.
She gets applause from everyone watching, as she then thanks everyone for doing that and her body language shows much appreciation. It's well deserved, she was really impressive. I don't even know if I could do that.
Yeah I never knew she could do that, but I remember how the games never promoted Rom or Ram that much. While it is a useful skill, and she probably uses it all the time when they were in Lowee, do either of them possess sufficient combat skills or abilities, to be able to help in repelling the inevitable invasion of Leanbox tomorrow? There is the Pokémon but will they be ready for tomorrow? I'm sure the twins will be useful in the fight, since I like to think they would have at least some skills in firearms or in magic that can be used in combat, and even if not they are quick learners.
"That's very good, Rom, your platforming skills are amazing. I think I'll have a go." I say to them with enthusiasm and confidence even if I've not done it before, or at least have no memories of it.
I then do the same moves as Rom did, and while it was fun doing it as well as providing plenty of adrenaline, it astonishes me that I am capable of doing it. Perhaps it is down to me playing those sort of games before or I might have done this before coming here. It's just as well I did it without falling because, I'm unsure if I have an equivalent of a dagger capable of rewinding time, or if I could just heal my wounds purely by drinking water from a nearby fountain. But I just remember now that I don't think I can hurt myself by falling great heights thanks to the perk a colas.
"Thing is while platforming is very useful right now, we need soldiers who are excellent in all sorts of combat, especially fire arms training. Rom, Ram are you any good with fire arms or at least do you have decent combat skills with magic?" I ask them both politely and calmly.
"The only guns we use is this one, our Wii Zappers." Ram explains to me calmly and casually.
She un-holstered the weapon to show me. It actually looks like the one you use to play on the Wii, only this one looks like a pistol.
"While this weapon is supposed to be automatic, I have a new one so the rate of fire for mine is only 1 round every 1.5 seconds and takes 4 shots to kill someone, furthermore reloading which just requires the pressing of the A button takes 12 seconds, but it has 20 bullets and it works such that the more I use it the better it will be, and it also has unlimited clips. In fact it will eventually be able to fire at 1200 rounds per minute and have an instantaneous reload time and the twin's guns are at that level." White explains to me in a calm tone.
This must be a weapon only used by the CPUs and Candidates of Lowee; this must be their equivalent to our G Con 45. Although it has unlimited clips and it's probably a good weapon, I honestly feel they need others considering it's effectively a machine pistol, ideal for close range but what about long range and if there's multiple enemies. But nevertheless it will be my pleasure to help fix that problem.
"OK in that case I think I'll introduce you to other fire arms." I decide, smiling at them.
I then notice a Lastation soldier.
"Excuse me could you try and bring me some Loweean fire arms please?" I ask the soldier in a friendly manner.
"No problem Lord Black Lead." He salutes me also friendly like myself.
After which he then leaves with enthusiasm and with agility to get the weapons.
It is then we go to a black futuristic looking table with large containers full of various liquids, there's also a notice saying:
"Attention citizens of Lastation and Lowee, please ensure you have had a drink from each of the following types of drink:
Juggernog
Speed Cola
Quick Revive
Double Tap Root Beer
Stamin-Up
PhD Flopper
Deadshot Daqueri
Mule Kick
Drinking these will provide benefits to you at work and in combat.
Thank you so much, along with your duties and loyalties
Lady Black Heart CPU of Lastation."
On those containers are the names of these liquids, they must be the Perk a Colas. I don't drink any of them because I have already had them along with White, but Rom and Ram then have a drink from each container, only for them to burp distinctively after each one in which it was just a swallow. Though a swallow of the drink is all that is needed.
"Those drinks have different tastes, but why is it important to drink this stuff. I mean how does it help in work and combat?" Ram asks me sounding confused but she also has much curiosity in her voice, and she clear wonders the significance of them.
"That's a good question Ram. Well each drink provides different abilities to the person who drunk them. The Juggernog increases health. If we had a lot of health before due to being CPUs and Candidates, just think how much health we have now. It would be extremely difficult for any enemy to kill us, especially with our skills and abilities.
The Speed Cola speeds up your reload, but it's also proven useful in doing anything involving your hands, like washing or doing paper work or even typing and writing.
The Quick Revive, now that's a very useful drink. That very drink has saved all of us. As because of that drink I was able to trick Neptune into thinking that I and Blanc killed our sisters, and it was that drink that ensured you could come here, where we could check to see if you're brainwashed. How fortunate that killing then reviving was all that was needed to get rid of the brain washing, I hope. It works by drinking and then if you die, then you can be revived by a snap of the fingers by a specific person. This can be anyone you pick while you drink it. It's very useful if something kills you and effectively allows more fighting to be done. In fact if done correctly, we can have unlimited lives which will give us a tremendous advantage.
The Double Tap Root Beer is able to increase the rate of fire on every weapon by a significant amount, good for weapons that don't have a good rate of fire and can help defeat enemies quicker.
The Stamin-Up drink helps you to move and climb faster, it even speeds you up when you're crawling or just walking. Very good for someone like yourself when you're climbing about and is even good for jumping and leaping.
The PhD Flopper makes you immune to falling damage inflicted by an enemy, and protects you from explosive damage to some extent. A very useful drink if someone climbs a lot, and has to go through obstacles from up high.
There's also the Deadshot Daqueri which dramatically improves accuracy, even ensuring you hit the enemy's weakest spot every time which can also help defeat enemies quicker.
Finally there is the Mule Kick which enables the user to carry more weapons, but it can also enable the user to carry heavier objects and more items all at once. I think it may even enable Pokémon trainers to carry more than 6 Pokémon at a time, good eh?" I explain to them with much enthusiasm and pride, along with excitement at the usefulness of these objects.
"Wow these drinks are so cool, very useful too. Vert and Neptune are truly screwed indeed." White replies nodding, enjoying the explanation I give about the drinks, smiling in appreciation.
"Yep quality beats quantity." I agree with confidence and pride in my voice.
As if on cue the soldier comes back with some Loweean weapons, which I thank him for and smile too. I couldn't help but notice that there does not seem to be that many types. I recognise the weapons and as I do, I realise that while the guns are apparently modern day, they don't appear to be as good or as high tech as the Lastation ones. But perhaps it is to be expected as I notice Lowee's weapons are of magic, and of creatures such as the Pokémon. But as I look closer, they have different attachments to the gun which are all from Lastation which will help their performance.
The weapons consist of a Type 95 which is a burst fire assault rifle, a Type 89 automatic assault rifle, a JS 9mm sub machine gun and a Type 85 sub machine gun. I remember those weapons being distinctive, in that they come from a certain place, but where, it is unfortunate that I can't remember. Ah well, though I wonder if it's similar to the origin of the Loweean architecture in the nightmare where I had to fight Blanc.
"Erm, would you mind if you train me in using Pokémon, because I think me and White know quite a bit, but I would like to have some practice if that's alright with you. As soon as all the Pokémon have been cleared from the brainwashing?" I ask Rom and Ram in a friendly manner, eager to learn. Besides I thought it would be a fair trade that they learn fire arms training, and I learn about Pokémon usage.
"Sure, I'd love to see the Lastation people using Pokémon with us, it will be a lot of fun." Ram replies sounding pleased with the idea.
"Training you would be our pleasure." Rom agrees while smiling speaking without hesitation and in a confident manner.
Yeah I notice more and more how Rom seems to be smiling a lot here and with more enthusiasm, especially during her time here, it's such a contrast to her neutral expression in the series, which is nice. I want her to be confident and not be afraid, especially in battle, and I'm sure she'll have a great input into our quest in defeating our enemies.
I must say I appreciate their answer, as it's good to see our forces and equipment combine to become even stronger and thus giving us a better chance against our enemies. Plus which I thought it would be fun to become a Pokémon trainer once again, ah the memories of trying to catch dozens of Pokémon, I'll never forget it and it will be excited too as they'll be with me and I can interact with them.
"I like it, I give you fire arms training and you give me Pokémon training. OK first things first how much do you know about fire arms?" I ask them in a friendly manner. I think I can predict the reply but it's best to ask.
"Well for me I have a decent amount of knowledge on them." White replies with confidence in her voice along with body language and has a smile on her face as well.
"I don't know much, but I can use the Wii Zapper." Ram explains in a similar tone.
"I'm the same as Ram." Rom adds casually nodding in agreement with her twin sister.
"OK fair enough. There are lots of guns in Gameindustri and they also fall into different classes which are used for different purposes. Now the Wii Zapper which is a gun you know, falls into the machine pistol class. What that means is that they have a fast rate of fire, they are light so they can be carried with 1 hand and…" I explain in a friendly manner, while looking to see if they understand which they do.
I then draw my G Con 45 out, which I was able to do quickly.
"…quick to draw. Sadly they often don't have large magazines and they have a close range." I finish off my explanation in a similar tone.
"Now the G Con 45 is a handgun, the fire rate is semi-automatic…." I fire a couple of shots in the air to show them what semi-automatic fire is like, after speaking to them.
"Of course semi-automatic tends to be faster, but not as fast as automatic, it's only due to the level of my gun which I'm working on. Although each shot is very powerful, apart from that they are very similar to the machine pistol, with regards to its strengths and weaknesses." I then head to the table as I speak to them maintaining my friendly tone, and observations to see if they understand me which they do.
I then pick up the Type 95 paying attention to all the various attachments, and bearing them all in mind so that I can explain the weapon to my audience. I notice in my HUD on the bottom right the following information: Type 95: multiple attachments 100/2000.
"Now this is the Loweean main assault rifle the Type 95, this particular one has been modified with various attachments to help upgrade the weapon thanks to Lastation technology. There are now 100 rounds in every magazine which is a lot, and they are taped together to speed the reload up which stacks with the Speed Cola. At the side is a heartbeat sensor which detects who is near you: white dots show up as Loweeans, black dots show up as Lastations and green dots show up as Leanbox, and purple dots show up as from Planeptune, etc.
There is also a hybrid scope on the top, meaning you can switch the range of the weapon, as to whether you're firing at close range or far away. Finally the weapon comes with a grenade launcher that holds 2 rounds. It's a burst fire weapon, so you'll be able to fire 3 bullets at a time, although you're able to switch the rate of fire of the weapon from single fire, burst fire to full auto. Assault rifles are all-rounders as they can fire at medium to long range, there are various other types but for now I'll show you how to use this gun." I explain to them with much enthusiasm, as I'm a fan of such weapons. This is due to their ease of use and quality of them, and how I'm into technology along with how this gun impresses me.
Conveniently there are 4 of these Type 95s so I pass them around to each person. I then lead them to a firing range, consisting of multiple cut outs of Neptune and Plutia which represent the targets for us to shoot, along with a table full of ammunition for different weapons including the Type 95s. The targets are lying down right now and I'm amazed that despite being there, there are no bullet holes at all which is good as it makes it easier with regards where the user hits.
"OK the key thing when using this fire arm is to aim down your sights, as you'll be more accurate and accuracy is the key. Especially considering how you could end up in intense firefights. Here I'll demonstrate." I say to them with enthusiasm and with calm.
As if on cue, the various targets pop up and with immense speed and accuracy, I am able to shoot them all down. After a while they stop popping up.
"OK a couple of pointers. First is if you have an automatic weapon, fire in bursts or single shots to increase accuracy and to conserve ammo, and second there are 3 stances: standing…" I explain to them calmly with ceaseless joy.
I then crouch down quickly.
"….crouch…." I explain further.
I then get on the floor on my belly as fast as I can.
"…and prone. The closer to the floor you are, the less visible you are to the enemy. It also increases accuracy in exchange for movement, but you'll be more accurate the less you move. Aiming down your sights works when switching quickly between targets. Here I'll show you." I explain to them reassured that they are able to process all of this information.
The targets appear close together, and because of that I was able to shoot the targets much quicker than the last batch. Eventually again, the targets stay down.
I have to say I'm enjoying this briefing I'm giving the candidates, I'm surprised how good I seem to be at explaining to them looking at the facial expressions and body language of my audience. Hopefully they really find that what I say makes sense, because it's them that matters.
"OK sometimes your target will be behind some cover, but that's OK because some weapons are able to penetrate through different surfaces. And our different visions will be able to see them from hide behind cover anyway. This gun is capable of penetrating through the cover that you're about to see. OK here goes:" I inform them politely.
A target then appears behind cover, but like I explained to Rom and Ram I was able to shoot the target no problem at all.
"OK two more pointers, the first is with regards to the grenade launcher attached to my gun. All grenades fired from any grenade launcher need to travel a minimum distance before it explodes, although if it directly hits a flesh and blood target, it should cause some serious damage if not kill the enemy.
Another point is the frag grenades, frags like grenade launchers can take out multiple enemies at once, even lightly armoured vehicles, but bear in mind as soon as you pull the pin, you have a certain amount of time to throw the grenade. About 3 seconds before it will explode so be careful, if you can cook the grenade which means holding it for a couple of seconds before throwing it at the enemy, the grenade should explode before the enemy can throw it back. OK Rom and Ram did you get all of that, I understand that there is a lot to take in?" I ask them both, confident with what the reply will be.
I realise now I probably said a lot in one go, although it amazes me how I was able to teach Rom and Ram fire arms training, and they understood it completely. It is definitely quite a feat as I've never done that before, or at least I don't remember that being the case. I always noticed as I talk, them nodding and they show no signs of not understanding me whatsoever, and they're able to follow everything I say, wonderful just wonderful. I have no doubt that Blanc has taught the twin sisters well.
"Wonderful. OK targets will pop up for you to take down, let's see what you 3 can do." I say to them with much encouragement in my voice.
Targets pop up for a while now, one after another and it's good to see Rom and Ram are able to take them down decently. White appears to be a natural at this as if she's done this loads of times before, and I hear her comment on how the Type 95 is a very good weapon to use. After a few minutes the targets stop popping.
"OK let's go to the pit." I say to them impressed with their excellent performance.
They then follow me, as I lead them past various people training with much enthusiasm to the best of their ability which pleases me. We also go past different apparatus used to train our people in various aspects. It's not long before we reach there. For some reason the pit reminds me of the one in Modern Warfare 2 where there's a table full of different weapons, but this time there's cameras of the whole course.
It's nice how the features have been customised to feature it, a video game, in a universe concerning the games consoles, quite remarkable. It's also a great course for them to start with, considering the varying obstacles and how fast it needs to be done, along with them having to avoid shooting civilians, even if friendly fire is impossible, and I think it will be a good introductory course for them, as I test their abilities in armed combat training.
"OK first of all switch to your Wii Zapper." I tell them politely.
They all obey noticing how fast they could do it and this astonishes them a fair amount.
"Then switch to your rifle again." I tell them in the same time.
They obey, again the switch was so quick which amazes them even more.
"Have you noticed how fast that was? Remember if you're out of bullets, switch to your other weapon as it's always faster than reloading." I say to them, but I've got to admit now we have speed cola as well as dual mags? I'm not so sure. It's also like with the grenades whether holding onto a grenade can do any damage to yourself in this world due to the physics and the PHD flopper? Hmmmm.
"OK pick any weapons you want, I'm going to stick with this. I'll go first to help guide you as to how it's done." I tell them in a friendly manner, as I rush off, hoping though confident that I can do the course in a decent time.
I then go around and as I thought, it is the Modern Warfare 2 pit with cars, sandbags and pieces of wood to add to the effect. I then run to some cover to find 3 targets, one on the left, one in the middle and one on the right. I fire the targets from left to right as quickly as I can, and like at the firing range, they're of cut outs of Neptune and Plutia, my most hated enemies.
I then sprint forward and find cover further up the course. Another 3 pop up as well as cut outs of Noire in her HDD form, this must be their version of a civilian target or friendly target, I mustn't shoot them. 2 of them are aligned so I shoot them and then the 3rd on the right with all the agility that I have. As I approach the building in the course, I find more cover and 5 targets appear, 1 in the door, 1 through a window, 2 at the top floor and 1 behind the other side of the cover. I quickly shoot the one behind cover then the door, then window and then the 2 at the top floor. I attempt to shoot them in an order from left to right to save time, as opposed to picking them off at different sides.
After which I then run to the building before hiding behind the door. A target pops up from behind a table, as well as a civilian. I shoot the target and as I peek around, I immediately shoot the two targets behind another table. I then rush up the stairs as I get out my knife, and stab the target there with it in very little time. At the top floor I shoot two targets that are behind each other, ignoring the civilian on its right. And after peeking around, I shoot the other 2 behind each other while conserving my ammunition.
I then jump down and with as much speed as possible take some cover. I shoot two targets that are aligned on the right. Despite them moving I still get them, while avoiding a civilian target, as well as taking down a target on the left, and another one further back but slightly to the left of the third target in the area all in excellent timing, which all adds up with regards my time.
I'm at the last area now and I appear to be doing well as I rush behind to some cover. There are only two targets that are close together in my vision, so I shoot them both. And with all the targets shot and none of the civilian targets hit, I sprint to the finish and thanks to Stamin Up I am able to run really fast, faster than before which is nice how the perks makes such an impressive difference.
"Wow you did it in 25 seconds, very impressive. I reckon I can do it in 20 though." White says sounding rather amazed with my performance.
"Yeah but I bet that's by using a USP45 with tactical blade, and not taking cover. If I did that and had an M9 I could probably do it in 15. But anyway let's see how you do Rom and Ram, if you can get at most 35 seconds then you'll have done very well." I say to them with much encouragement to them.
We spend all day training on different courses from different video games like Modern Warfare 1, Black Hawk Down and Medal of Honor, and even courses that are not from video games and are significantly challenging. These included ones where we tried to shoot a faraway target in just a few seconds, or go through a course of dozens of targets in a fraction of a minute. There's also doing obstacles in minutes that consist of wall running, leaping on walls when there's no floor nearby and climbing with very thin ledges, along with running over large pipes which could cause the person to fall over if one's not careful.
Along with this, there's climbing and vaulting over walls and carrying heavy weights for a significant distances or time periods, to name some examples. Only stopping to have a tasty delicious lunch of enchiladas, full of different meats, and sauces as well as nachos with different melted cheeses and tasty dips.
I'm very impressed with the progress that they have made, and it's also a lot of fun training together, as we seek to better ourselves and help each other out with learning new techniques and achieving goals, and setting different challenges where appropriate. I felt joy as I was able to train Rom and Ram in something useful, and it's nice to know that they'll train me with the Pokémon in return. I like training with my friends, I'd especially love to train with Noire knowing how passionate she is about keeping her skills up as high as possible, and how hard she works.
As a result I would say that today has indeed gone well for us as we have done all sorts of training, as not only have we done shooting, jumping, climbing and exercising, but along with parkour both on the ground and high up, we have also done fighting both armed and unarmed. We even squeezed in some racing in the car park of Noire's mansion which is several stories, and that was a lot of fun as it combined two things that I like, visiting different parts of her mansion, and racing.
Along with this we have also practiced drifting, breaking and accelerating along with shooting different sorts targets while we drove from up high and on the ground, including those that pop out suddenly. We also had so much fun with the noise and smell, along with the lights in there, and it's nice to know we're all expert racers both in our gaming ability and out here. When it's time, we meet up with Noire in her home at her wardrobes.
After guiding us to her wardrobes as we await with much excitement, I couldn't help but be astonished and breathless, as there are several floors that are dedicated to Noire's countless cosplay outfits and costumes. They cover an unbelievable wide spectrum of different outfits and different costumes for limitless occasions. It's even bigger than I thought judging from what I've seen and heard, and it's amazing to have not just a large section of her massive quarters to be her wardrobe, but several floors. And furthermore this is connected to her wardrobe which is in itself large. I can understand considering how her cosplaying appears limitless.
I'm so pleased to see after seeing not one but two sections of her mansion, another section of her magnificent mansion skyscraper, which takes it up to 3. And this is to see all of her fabulous magnificent costumes, and the massive set which is easily customisable so that it can easily be multiple sets in one. And furthermore there's also the cameras, computers and speakers and lights. I wouldn't be surprised if they did some filming there, for music or adverts or even for films and television shows which are major successes and produces sequels.
There's even a huge area purely for photography along with the set, as well as different backgrounds for the costumes which can be customised via remote thanks to robotics concealed in the background itself and is the same for the set. Though the current background is the Lastation one which looks futuristic and is full of blacks, whites and blues along with silvers with even some pink, red and green in there where appropriate.
It even provides the footage of the place, along with the sounds and smells which is lovely and really helps in the atmosphere, making it ever so realistic, and the range of such smells and sounds can be controlled so as not to disturb the other areas. This means that different people can use this at the same time for whatever purpose they wish to use it there.
It's amazing to see the scale of it and how everything is such top quality and spectacular, everywhere is so grand and high tech. I really love her skyscraper and seeing different parts, and it's wonderful to see a part which involves what my Lastation leader is famous for: her cosplaying, and it certainly lived not just to the hype, but beyond anything I could have expected or even imagined.
"Wow you have a lot of costumes Noire. This place is amazing." I say to her whistling with amazement, as my mouth has been wide open from seeing all of these amazing features here of incredible quality, as is everyone else.
"Thank you so much for the compliment Black and I'm pleased you all like it here, I wear a lot of the costumes in my spare time. In fact very often I wear them on important occasions, as well as wearing them when I'm seeing specific people. I even let my people borrow them. I'm extremely pleased to show you this, I've wanted to show you my cosplay collection for a long time now.
What would you lot like to see me wear? I'll wear any of them you want, I'll even wear some of them tonight. I wonder what the readers would like to see me wear? I have every costume, you name it I'll wear it." Noire replies with much pride in her voice, and she's clearly ever so happy to be here and to be showing us this. I can tell that this is her in one of her elements as this is her passion, and she gets such immense joy sharing it with other people. I really am looking forward to the cosplay show we're about to see.
"You know what Noire, I think I'll join in wearing your costumes. I'm sure the readers would like to see me in different costumes as well." Blanc proposes sharing the same enthusiasm and eagerness to get this activity started.
"Yeah and me." Uni adds with much joy in her voice and body language.
"And me." Rom says, then Ram says the same thing after Ram both with similar enthusiasm and excitement.
"We will all cosplay, it will be so much fun." Noire says in her friendly voice, smiling a lot very much as she says it, and still smiles a lot now.
In fact we all smile at each other with much happiness, excitement and wonder, as we're going to have more fun seeing Noire and her costumes. I always wanted to see what her costumes were for a long time, because I remember how Noire loved to cosplay, and yet sadly Neptunia never showed us them, well that's the inferior series for you.
And so both Noire and Blanc along with their younger sisters who decides to join them get changed, as we will now see them in different costumes and wonder and discuss what they'll be for fun as we eagerly wait for them to come out in their exciting cosplays.
