some Hassel & Larry doodles i drew around the time that Scarlet & Violet released. i never posted them here or on twitter since i was much too shy. releasing them from their private prison now for the handful of people out there who may still enjoy these ^^
Yunyun: Wow, that’s a whole lotta snow. Though it’s not as cold as it looks.
Tourist A: I’ve always lived in the city, so seeing this scenery is quite refreshing!
Tourist B: Seeing the snowy plains as soon as you come out from the tunnel… it’s like a scene straight out of a novel.
Hassaku: Yet contrary to the tour’s name, I do not see any huts around us?
Yodaka: Please take this snow globe with you before heading over to the huts.
Tourist C: Woah~ It’s the size of my palms, how cute.
Tourist D: The faint light coming from it is warm
Hassaku: Hm… But there seems to be nothing inside?
Yodaka: You’ll learn more about it very soon. Please carry on a little further.
Yodaka: You too, thank you for coming.
Yunyun: Well, that’s because you told me to come here. I can’t very well turn down an invitation from my boss now, can I?
Yodaka: I thought you would dance around the answer as you would usually.
Yunyun: …So …Would you’ve preferred if I didn’t show up?
Yodaka: Not at all, I’m quite happy actually.
Yunyun: ….*sigh* I knew I shouldn’t have come. Whatever, I’ll get going then.
Yodaka: Go ahead, enjoy yourself.
Nagi: If you’ve already gotten your snow globe, come gather around over here.
Tourist E: Woah, There are so many parts set up here, they even have miniature chairs or tables… .
Netaro: You can add many tidbits here and there as you’d like. Customize to your heart's desire!
Yunyun: Hmmm, I do enjoy givin’ attention to detail. What kinda room should I make~?
Nagi: It doesn’t have to be a room. It can be your favorite scenery, a field of flowers, anything of the sort is okay. If you feel a spark of inspiration, just go with it.
Tourist F: Right, I’m gonna make the gaming room of my dreams.
Tourist G: Since I like animals, maybe I should try making a farm.
Netaro: The grampy over there, what would you like to do?
Hassaku: ?! You are invading my personal space here…!
Hassaku: (I believe he is Yowa-kun from that psychedelic meat bun shop.)
Hassaku: Let’s see… I shall place this bench in the globe.
Nagi: Once you’re done, please move ahead. It’s time to see the long awaited huts.
Hassaku: (Walking down this tranquil road as the light from the snow globes line up… It is as if we are partaking in a pilgrimage.)
Hassaku: I wonder what kind of scenery I will see ahead from here—
Location: Cocoon Huts
Toi: Thank you for coming to our tour. Did you have fun making the snow globes?
Toi: It was pretty cold on the way here, right? Please warm up in these huts!
Hassaku: Hoh, we are surrounded by these cocoon-like huts…!
Hassaku: (However, based on my observation, the interior of each hut is different…?)
Hassaku: Wait! Could it be…
Ryui: You can put the snow globe you made earlier wherever you’d like. Once you put it down, move away from it for a bit.
Hassaku: Very well then, I shall help myself to this spot…
Hassaku: !! The snow globe grew within the blink of an eye.
Yunyun: So that’s what they meant by a “Custom Cocoon Hut”, huh.
Ryui: Yeah. Well, take your time.
Hassaku: Hm… Then perhaps it would have been better if I added more than just a bench.
Hassaku: I suppose it cannot be helped. For now, I should take a look inside.
Hassaku: It is warm as expected. In that case, there was no need us walk through the snowy path—
Hassaku: …No, there was, I understand now.
Hassaku: (The journey through the cold deepens the sense of belonging felt within this customized cocoon.)
Hassaku: How meticulous. Hm…?!
Hassaku: My surroundings have changed…?! This is—
Location: HAMA Tours - Behind the Wharf
Hassaku: …
Hassaku: (…Right. I see now.)
Hassaku: This bench… was a place where I once shared a dream with an old friend…
Hassaku: Did I perhaps choose and imagine this place unconsciously?
Location: Cocoon Huts
Tourist F: I remember now… When I changed houses, I was able to stream some games in a room just like this. I should get rid of all those empty bottles when I get back.
Tourist G: This… is the farm my parents took me to in the past. I haven’t seen them since I ran away from home after our fight… Maybe I should contact them later.
Yunyun: …Haha. I ended up makin’ it look like the inside of our bar without even realizin’ it.
Yunyun: (Creatin’ a familiar place that’ll never change… I still think this is the best for the both of us.)
Hassaku: …I see now.
Hassaku: (Perhaps, this experience was an opportunity to create a space where one can reach into their hearts to recall their dearest memories…)
Hassaku: So this is what is inside of my cocoon…
Toi: …
Ryui: Toi.
Toi: Yes, Ani-sama?
Ryui: What would you put in your snow globe?
Toi: Fufu, you probably know already.
Ryui: No? I dunno. I want to hear it from you directly.
Toi: I suppose I’ll tell you. For me…
Toi: As long as you’re beside me, that’s all I need.
