femininity | 1st live [video/action]

[ as the device's screen turns on, you're treated to the sight of two ralts. they don't seem to be doing anything in particular, but that's enough to inspire makoto to pull out of her device. this thing takes pictures, right? she's not entirely sure, but if it's a phone, it's gotta have that kind of function!

so while she fiddles with her device, inadvertently turning it on, she calls out to another person. ]

Hey, Ryo! Ryo! Look! They're cute, aren't they?

[Another voice gives a light giggle at Makoto's excitement. When she's excited like this, even Ryo can't stay worried about their predicament!]

You really like them, don't you Makoto-san...? Though, to be honest, I think they're more "cool" than "cute".

Really? [ no, they definitely look cute to her. she stares a bit longer, before quietly deciding to herself that they're definitely more "cute" than "cool". but more importantly... ]

Oh! I think this is recording. [ uh... whoops? she turns her device so it's facing ryo, figuring they should give their audience something more than two cute pokemon rolling around. ] Um... quick, say something!

Eh?! Why me?!

[Ryo's shocked face takes up the entire screen. What do?! All right, back up back up... Okay, much better. Well, "something" was kinda vague, and arguing with Makoto is something Ryo doesn't want to do, so... A greeting, maybe? That's pretty basic. Time to flash a bright smile!]

Umm... H-How do you do? I'm Ryo Akizuki. I'm an idol from 876 Productions, though I don't think it really matters right now... With me, is, um... [Ryo tries to discreetly whisper, though it's pretty audible.] Makoto-san, maybe you should say something too?

[ at those words, maktoo turns the camera around so that she's the one on screen now. ]

I'm Makoto Kikuchi, from 765 Production! If I have any fans here, I don't mind giving autographs! [ she laughs a bit as she says it, making clear that she's just joking. she's hardly that popular yet. ] But anyways... it's nice to meet you!

[ she nods, satisfied by the message, before turning back to Ryo. she thinks the message has ended now, though obviously it hasn't... ]

That was good, right?

[Ryo nods, satisfied.]

Yes! You're amazing as always. [Though anything Makoto does is amazing to Ryo---] Hm? It looks like... you might have left it on.

Eh? No, I made sure I... ack, you're right!

[ makoto fumbles around with the device a bit before finally, this time successfully, turning it off. ]

Why would he hide something like that? [ duplicity is not something makoto understands. ] But if you say so... you know him better than me.

[ which is to say, you know him at all. ]

Eh? A concert? [ well, that analogy sort of makes sense, but... ] Then when does the concert start?

[ oh, whoops. well makoto understands that feeling... ]

It's okay, Yayoi! Just doing small performances is pretty amazing too. We just can't compete with Azusa-san, that's all... [ she's got assets they don't q_q ]

Yeah! I mean, she's so grown-up and mature...

-- but since we're all going to be back together, we can have group performances, just like what we do back home!!

In others words, you're i n v i n c i b l e.

[Really, no matter how you look at it, that's how it is. Ryo takes a moment to process all this...]

Incredible... though you're petite and slender and totally look like a girl...

You still seem so manly and cool...!!

[Do you see the sparkles of admiration in these eyes, Hayate? Do you? Even the air around him is sparkling.]

It's amazing! Really amazing! I wish I could be more like you, Ayasaki-san! You're like... a hero!

[It indeed does suck.]

Eeeeh? You must have had it hard... I'll be sure to make you something when given the opportunity. Um... What kind of food does Miki-san like?

Ah, you're all the way over there like Azusa-san, then...

[Looks like Ryo and Makoto have a ways to go before they all can meet up!]

I'm guessing you've been here for a while too?

*At first he going to go "Did you really have to point that part out--?!" but then Ryo swung it around. Not to mention those sparkles...! It's almost enough to want sunglasses!*

--eh? Eh?! Th-That's... That's going a little far, isn't it? I mean, ah... I'm flattered that you think I'm manly despite everything else, but... I don't really think I should be the kind of ideal that an idol would want to want to shoot for...

... ... even if Yayoi still sometimes asks me to try my hand at being one...

Yeah, that's right!

I wonder if we could put together another live or something like that... Maybe that's a little too ambitious?

[ THAT... throws her a bit ]

Huh? Been here for a while 'too'? W-What do you mean...?

That's not too ambitious at all! I mean, we're all used to performances and things, and we have a lot of 765 Pro idols here...

That would be really fun!

But how do you put together a live anyway...? Producer and Ritsuko-san always handle that kind of stuff...

[Ryo shakes his head.]

It's not going too far! Yayoi-san's right, I'm sure you'd gain a lot of fans if you were an idol.

[Then again, now that Ryo though about it. Folding his arms across his padded chest and tilting his head to the side, he mutters his thoughts as he analyzes the prospect of Hayate being an idol:]

Well, on the other hand, knowing how things are... Ayasaki-san might just end up like me...

[Er...]

I-It's okay, Yayoi-san. She already... kind of... told me about the timey-wimey balls.

[More like he put two and two together, but still... He's read a lot of sci-fi novels to see where this is going.]

Uuu... E-Even if I would gain them, I don't want them! I'm perfectly happy being an unknown with no popularity. In fact the idea of having fans at all is already worrying!

*SIGH. Hayate has enough trouble with his singular borderline stalker, he doesn't want to have to deal with a following.

careful Ryo, one of these days he'll actually pick up on your muttering, since he does it himself so much...*

Hmmm... well, if we can't figure it out, um, m-maybe we could do a live performance on... the roof of a department store building?

Aaaa~h...

I'm sorry, Ryo-chan- I didn't think you'd believe me, and I didn't want to scare you!

Oh! That's good! That sounds really really cool! We'd be just like rock stars!

What kind of food does Miki like? [ She repeats the question only to help her think on it. Admittedly a lot of the things she does enjoy aren't found commonly here. ] It's been a while, but Miki likes strawberry bavarois and caramel macchiato, but both of those are hard to make.

Rice balls are easier, Miki thinks...

Eh!? Rock stars do things like that, too!?

W-We won't have to put on a lot of makeup and yell really loudly, will we?

I don't know about makeup, but we'll have to be loud...

I mean, how else could everyone hear us?

[It's almost like outward monologues is a common trait among unlucky girly men!]

W-Well, I kind of get that too. [Really, Ryo understands unwanted attention.] Idoling isn't for everyone, so I'm glad I'm having fun with it... Even if that's the part I'm getting increasingly worried about...

[AHEM.]

Er, anyway! I wasn't aware that you know Yayoi-san! We actually worked together once. She's a really cute and kind girl~

It's fine, it's fine. I'll admit to it being a little weird, but it doesn't scare me.

[Ryo tries his best to smile in that reassuring big sister way.]

I'm sure everyone else would feel the same way if you told them the truth, so don't worry about it, Yayoi-san.
