Script
Lange Old District
You: Mmm, it smells so nice. It's like walking into a vineyard.
After exiting the train station, you notice that the scent of fresh grapes is ubiquitous on Lange's streets.
The smell is sweet and mellow, almost as if it leads to a heap of delicious fruit.
Looking around the bustling city, you can't imagine that a vineyard is tucked away somewhere.
Vyn: That is indeed the scent of grapes, but... there is another fragrance mixed in — one not of fruits.
Did someone spray grape perfume in the streets?
Unlikely. That would be too over-the-top.
Vyn: Let us continue onward. We may find the source of this scent.
So you continue to follow the smell... until you reach a tourist center in front of you.
Vyn: Found it. This is the source.
You: Huh?
There's a massive grape sculpture next to the tourist center, under which a white mist is spewing out.
It seems that the aroma you could smell comes from the mist emitted from under the grape sculpture.
You: Yes! This is the smell, it's so nice.
Staff: Hello, welcome to Lange tourist center. It's my pleasure to be of assistance.
You: Excuse me, may I ask how is it that this sculpture smells like perfume...?
Staff: This is a unique perfumed sculpture commissioned by the museum to celebrate the Spring of Grapes.
Staff: The museum decided to display it here because the information desk is near the platform where many tourists come and go.
Staff: The unique grape fragrance puts tourists right in a vineyard as soon as they begin their journey.
Staff: It also helps us to get tourists' attention on the tour.
Vyn: What a brilliant way to advertise.
You: I noticed the perfume as soon as I left the station! It's wonderful.
Staff: Thank you for the compliment. The statue was carefully designed by the technical team at the Historic Vineyard Museum.
Staff: Its fragrance can evenly distribute over a distance of several hundred meters.
Staff: ...Sorry, but I can't tell you more because it involves proprietary technology.
You: It's okay. I understand.
You: Um... Could you tell us more about The Vine?
Staff: The museum is the oldest museum in Barosk. It provides the most detailed history of grapes and wine in the city.
Staff: It contains all the existing specimens of grapevines in Barosk as well as historic documents on grape research.
Staff: You'll get a sense of the local's love for grapes when you visit the museum.
Staff: In addition to the exhibits, there is a 500-year-old vine near the square outside.
Staff: It is the symbol of Lange and the pride of Barosk.
You: A 500-year-old vine?
Vyn: Is that where the museum got its name?
Staff: Yes. That's right.
Staff: The museum was originally built to preserve the old vines. Now tourists flock to us every year.
Staff: Many have said that seeing the vines makes them believe miracles exist in the world.
You: (Hmm, I should go visit it with Vyn... Maybe we'll have a miracle, too.)
You: Hey, what was that about a Spring of Grapes you mentioned earlier?
Staff: The Spring of Grapes is the most important day of spring in Barosk.
Staff: We believe that the sunlight in spring is the foundation for the quality of the grapes.
Staff: Thus, we hold various ceremonies at the end of spring to pray for a good harvest in autumn.
You: I see... There must be a lot of interesting activities during the festival, is that right?
Staff: Yes. The homemade food walk, grape float tours, and the grapevine painting at the square are all popular.
Staff: The most popular activity is definitely the food walk.
You: What is the homemade food walk all about?
Staff: It is where you can taste the traditional cuisine of Barosk.
Staff: Local participants will bring their homemade food to share with everyone...
Staff: You can taste hundreds of wonderful dishes there! I recommend you two to give it a try.
You: Dr. Richter, how about we go to the feast later?
Vyn: Sounds good. Maybe we will find something special there.
Staff: Is there anything else you want to ask?
You: That's all. Thank you.
Staff: You're welcome. Have fun.
