Psychic Force Puzzle Taisen

Brad Kilsten

Manual blurb

It felt like recently, everyone was starting to look at Brad oddly, like he was scary or dangerous.

And so Brad thought: "It's time! Operation: Be Nice to Everyone!"

But he still hasn't noticed the other personality lurking within himself...

Introduction

Just recently, everyone had been getting the wrong idea about Brad --- treating him like some sort of dangerous guy. This was no good, and so one day Brad came up with a plan. Namely...

Brad: I’ll be nice to people, nice to the earth, just nice to everybody. That’s my better-image strategy!

So far so good, but what Brad hasn’t yet realized is that he has a split personality...

Round 1: Psychic Tower

Brad: Miss Sonia, is there anything I can help you with?

Sonia: No, there isn’t, just get out of here.

Crazy!Brad: Hey, that’s cold. Stuck up, aren’t you, Electric Lady!?

Sonia: I am not an electric lady! I’ll smack you!

(Game)

Brad: Miss Sonia, if you fall asleep in a place like that, you’ll catch a cold.

Round 2: Kokugi-Kan

Genma: You there. I’m Genma, a mendicant priest. Excuse me, but would you mind making a donation?

Brad: Of course, one must be kind to those in need. How much should it be?

Genma: EVERYTHING YOU’VE GOT!!

Crazy!Brad: Heh heh heh... Don’t screw with me, Uncle Wiggily! Let’s see what YOU’VE got!!*

Genma: You---! ...You’re even crazier than I am.

(Game)

Brad: Huh? Sir, what about the money?

(*Translator’s notes: first, I hope my reference wasn’t too obscure, but it was how I could make “rabbit-geezer” sound natural. Also, the sentence after that threw me, so this is pretty much a wild guess.)

Round 3: Karaoke-Box

Brad: Emilio, if something’s the matter, I can help.

Emilio: I’m too nervous to go to the karaoke by myself. Will you go with me?

Crazy!Brad: No way. Like I wanna listen to some crybaby brat’s horrible singing --- my ears’ll bleed!

Emilio: Dammit, that was just mean!

Brad: Huh? Aren’t you going to sing?

(Game)

Brad: Emilio, did you wear yourself out singing and fall asleep?

Round 4: Amusement Park

Brad: Miss Wendy, is something wrong?

Wendy: Well, you see, I want that plushy over there, but I can’t quite get it. Can you, Brad?

Crazy!Brad: KYA HA HA ha ha ha!! You can’t get a thing like that!?
What a hopeless klutz!!

Wendy: And when did you become the god of the crane machine!? I’m gonna smack you!

(Game)

Brad: Miss Wendy, were you able to get your plushy?

Round 5: Convenience Store

Brad: Burn, please let me help you with something.

Burn: What’s with this all of a sudden!? But sure, buy me some juice.

Crazy!Brad: Well, aren’t you high and mighty! Did you burn out your brains, you hothead!?

Burn: I’ll burn YOUR brains!!

(Game)

Brad: Ahh! Sure enough, it feels so nice to do a good deed.

Round 6: Psychic Burger

Brad: Oh, no! Mr. Gates collapsed! Are you okay!?

Gates: Warning. Remaining fuel level at critical. Complete system shutdown in 5 minutes.

Crazy!Brad: Heh heh heh... Aren’t you a sorry sight! If you can’t move, you’re just a big piece of junk, aren’t you?

Gates: Emergency power online. Target confirmed. Terminate with extreme prejudice.

Brad: Oh, he got up.

(Game)

Brad: Well, if he’s well enough to stand, I’m sure he’ll be okay.

Round 7: Bay Side Park

Brad: Mr. Wong, what are you up to?

Wong: Taking a rest from my hectic schedule for a leisurely walk. I’m certain you can understand, so please don’t disturb me.

Crazy!Brad: A leisurely walk!? Yeah, right, Mr. Company President!
Are you sure you’re not out here hiding your cooked books from the tax man!?

Wong: Brad, it seems you know too much. I’ll need you to die!

Brad: Did I hit a nerve? Um, Mr. Wong, why do you have that murderous look in your eye?

(Game)

Brad: It’s strange. I don’t know how it happens, but it seems like I make everybody mad.

Final Round: Central Building

Brad: Mr. Keith, I don’t know how it’s happening, but I’m making everybody mad. What’s going on?

Keith: Brad, you have a split personality. When you don’t know what’s happening, the truth is that the other you is coming out and making everyone angry.

Brad: Really...!? That’s.... (!Crazy) ---the way it is, Keith! You got a problem with that, you sourpuss---you weasel!? Don’t just grumble behind my back!

Keith: I know what’s happening, I mustn’t get angry... Would it be better if I just defeat you?

Brad: Thank you, Mr. Keith, you’re a real... (!Crazy) ---babe in the woods!! Kya ha ha ha ha!!

Keith: ...Yeah, you need to go down.

Ending

Brad: Everybody, the truth is that I had a split personality. I know I said and did mean things, but it was all the other me. Since none of it was my fault, we can all keep being friends!

Everyone else: Say WHAT!?

And so, without the slightest reflection, Brad returned to the strategy he started with. Will a day ever come when they can truly be friends?

Crazy!Brad: Of course not! What are you blabbering about, you dumbass narrator!? Kya ha ha ha ha!!!
