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. ]

*And then he settles into a small smile. That was quite fired up after all.*

Mm! That's right, huh? Makoto-san might be cool and charming... but she definitely has her moments of cuteness! If you learn from her, you'll definitely learn how to be passionate about whichever area you're aiming for, that much I'm sure of.

[ makoto eventually moved on to do something else, mostly because there was no response and no way to find out if the strange back flipping failing girl was alright.

but that doesn't mean she'd forgotten! ]

Oh! [ she looks noticeably relieved to hear from her again, before abruptly about facing and frowning. ] What do you mean you forgot? I was worried sick! You should have let me know you were okay right away!

You are okay, right?

--?!

... yes, Makoto-chan?

G-Gyaon-chan?! [That's... such a low blow...! Sob.] Don't... Don't call me that! I have a name you know!

I was reading comic books! I found one right where I landed!

Yep, I'm fine. This happens all the time, like I said.

...Were you actually worried?

Oh, is that right, Gyaon-chan? You have a name, Gyaon-chan? What was it again, Gyaon-chan? I forgot already, Gyaon-chan. I've been very excited since meeting real idols, Gyaon-chan. I'm sure you understand, Gyaon-chan.

Since when are you here too!?

Oh dear, you didn't lose them, did you...? You should really keep better track of them, Ryo-chan... You can't just carry the two of them around all the time... That would just be difficult when they get bigger.

*COMPLETELY OBLIVIOUS TO IMPLICATIONS.*

Oh... [ that sounds kind of weird, but if makoto found a comic book lying on the floor she'd probably pick it up and read it too.

so she can't really blame her... she guesses... ]

Yeah, of course I was worried. [ a pause. ] If that happens all the time, you really should stop doing it...

[Ow. Ow. Ryo feels like he's being stabbed with a myriad of arrows right now. It hurts so much that he wants to drop dead. How can a little girl be so brutal...

Tearfully, he relents.]

R-Right... I'm sorry...

[being ryo is suffering]

My, let's see... I think it's been about... nine months now?

Oh, so it's nothing new for you then.

Wait, you've been here that long!? But I didn't... nobody even noticed you were gone!

[ ...is it even possible for them to have not noticed her missing for that long?! ]

I'm sorry, Azusa-san! It was just... I was really busy! I still should have realized though!

--oh! *Right, he almost forgot!! He has to reintroduce himself, duh.* It's Hayate! Hayate Ayasaki! *He gives a bright ~~girly~~ smile.* It's a pleasure to get to meet you like this~! ♥

Eheh, she is rather cute... She kind of has a... hm... a certain aura about her! Like you kind of just want to protect her...? *The unsaid: Like the opposite if you, Makoto-san!* Maybe that's part of her idol appeal...?

. . .

... ah!

That's right~ There's some kind of... time... bubble...? So it's only natural you wouldn't have noticed, Makoto-chan~ I would have been very impressed if you did.

It's nice to meet you too, Hayate! [ she will commit your name to memory forever. ]

Protect her, huh... [ she has to think about that for a bit, before nodding. yeah, if ryo was in trouble, makoto would definitely feel the need to protect her. ] Yeah, I guess that's true. Is that really part of being an idol though...?

[ hm... does that mean makoto should be like that too...? ] Hey, Hayate! So if I was in danger, you'd protect me too, right?

Time bubble...?

[ she doesn't get what that means but... it sounds like azusa is forgiving her! ah, thank goodness. she'd feel really bad if she held it against her.

of course, she's somehow managed to completely forget that it's been less than nine months since she saw azusa last. perhaps this fact will one day occur to her. perhaps not. ]

But I'm glad to see you're here too! I thought it'd just be me and Ryo at first... It's good to have someone I can rely on here too!

[ ...yes she relies on you, azusa. no one said she was good at making these kind of decisions. ]

Mm! I definitely think that kind of aura is part of an idol! It's the kind that could draw in all types of fans. Just like those who like the "little sister" type of charact--

*PAUSING AT THAT QUESTION.

Very suddenly.

As if he suddenly hit a bsod in his head as he tries to comprehend it properly.*

Erm, w-well...

I would certainly do my best to rush to your aid if you needed it, without a moment of hesitation! . . . Yet I also would like to think that if Makoto-san got into a situation where she needed saving, it might somehow be dangerous even for me to leap into blindly...

Ah, but that's never stopped me before... so the short answer is yes, I would!

[ no one ever told her this kind of stuff, though it makes sense. so she just stands with her arms crossed, nodding in agreement. having a universal appeal to all fans is important!

...she's not sure what to do with that "little sister" comment though. she's pretty sure she can't become anyone's little sister. ]

So you would, right? [ never mind all the ways he qualified that statement, that's unimportant. she nonetheless beams at that last part, more or less forgetting all the rest. ] You're a good guy, Hayate!

[ yes, this is definitely a good day for her. she can feel her stock as a feminine idol rising. ]

Oh, and if you're ever in trouble, I'll come help you too! Whatever it is! If it's street punks, or yakuza, or just some weird bad guys... [ she throws a quick jab through the air. ] I've got your back!

[ and just as quickly all those points of stock evaporate. ]

*fear not, Makoto. Azusa is about as clueless as clueless can get about 80% of the things here even after all that time.

She is the Perfect Guide, clearly.*

I'm very glad to see you as well, Makoto-chan~ And I'll do my best to be reliable...

Oh, you're not alone though... Yayoi-chan and Miki-chan are both here as well! And Yayoi-chan has been here even longer than I have.
