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. ]

Yeah, you seem to be doing fine, Azusa-san! [ then again, azusa always seems to be fine. no matter what. it's uncanny. and that's why makoto will follow your guidance proudly. surely there is no better way to become a pokemon master™. ]

Really? Yayoi and Miki too? [ she didn't notice them being missing either, huh...

okay now she's at least starting to realize something fishy is going on, and it's not just her somehow not noticing her friends have been kidnapped. she's not sure whether that's comforting or alarming. ]

Then there are a lot of us here, huh...? I guess it's kinda flattering, but a little troubling too...

*oh she looks so pleased with that, he was not prepared for such a response! then again, when is he ever prepared for girls?*

A-Ah, well... I'm sure anyone would if they got to know you...

*... ah he was all flustered and blushing until she started to list off her areas of assisting expertise... now he just looks somewhere between awkward and concerned. though all three topics are somehow nostalgic.*

Ma... Makoto-san... I-I fully appreciate that offered support, truly. In fact it's a honor to have you having my back... But I think I would prefer not having another encounter with any of those choices. It almost feels like raising a event flag for them to happen when you say it like that...

Edited 2012-06-18 09:18 (UTC)

Mm... It was somewhat troubling at first... It felt like I was being thrust into one of those shows that Hibiki-chan excels at~ *what with all the wandering in the wilderness and all the Pokemon surrounding her and just kind of chilling with her instead of fighting.

Though that's probably a Azusa Exclusive.*

... my, I wonder if that would be a good way to get publicity here...?

*oops, she just derailed her own train of thought.*

[ oh, whoops. did she come on a little too strong there? it was probably the yakuza thing, huh. yeah, it's usually the yakuza thing. at least, she assumes it must usually be the yakuza thing. ]

Ahah, right! I mean, they were just examples! I don't think any of those things will actually happen. [ she says, tripping even more event flags, without even knowing what event flags actually are. ] You seem like a nice guy, so you probably don't get into trouble like that.

[ a fine, upstanding young gentleman like hayate probably always stays squeaky clean and on the right side of the law. ]

So don't worry about it, Hayate! It's not like you owe anyone money or anything like that, right?

[ huh?

makoto's obviously having a little trouble following what azusa's saying, but... um... azusa must know what she's talking about, right? so she just nods in agreement, doing her best to be supportive.

or something. ]

Hm, I guess it would be good for the agency to get publicity here too, right...? [ no, that really wouldn't accomplish anything. 765 doesn't even exist here. ] If it'll help, I'll do it!

[ even if she has no idea what she's volunteering to do. ]

You guys are famous? Hm, I don't remember seeing you back home..

Uwaaaah... It looks like an interesting pair has arrived! You guys said that you were idols, right?

Uu-, the two of you are.. idols..? [ not that Maria generally paid a lot of attention to them back home, oops.. but it's still pretty amazing apparently since she seems cheerful. ]

Welcome to Johto, kyakyakya! Maria is Maria, Maria Ushiromiya, uu-! And Maria thinks it's cute, not cool..!

Eh? Well, we're not really famous, I guess...

[ man that hurts to say. ]

That's right! [ though... interesting? are they really that interesting? ] We're both aiming for Top Idol.

Oh, okay. Maybe you will be one day?

I'm Chika Ito! It's nice to meet you Makoto-kun.

Eheh, we're just starting out though, so it's not really that impressive. [ well, it actually has been some time now, but neither of them has really gotten their big break. ]

Maria, huh? It's nice to meet you, Maria! [ even if that laugh was a little odd. ] Oh, but you agree with me, huh? [ that cheers her up, which is obvious as her face lights up a bit. ] Exactly! There's no way to look at them without thinking "cute".

I hope so... [ their live was a hit, though! so... maybe? ]

It's nice to meet you too, Chika! What about you? Do you have a dream or anything like that?

Oh! Welcome back Makoto!

And it's nice to meet you as well, Ryo.

Thanks! It's good to be... back...?

[ wait... give her a while to process this. ]

What do you mean back?

You've been here once before, but this place can be tricky like that. Some people remember, and some people don't.

Regardless, it's nice to see you. My name is Talim.

It's not that hard to get famous anymore, if you do something really ridiculous. I'm not sure if you want to be that kind of idol, though..

Um.. Not really. I don't think I want to be famous or anything like that. I haven't thought about it that much!

Eheh, I guess I forgot... [ hm, but would she really forget something this important?

...well, maybe. ] It's nice to meet you, Talim! I mean, again, I guess?

R, really ridiculous? [ she smiles a bit weakly at the thought, before shaking her head. ] Yeah, that's not the kind of idol I want to be. I think that'd completely defeat the purpose...

But becoming a popular idol isn't that easy! It's a lot harder than it looks. Even if you get famous, you gotta stay popular or people'll lose interest.

It's fine- just don't be surprised if more people know who you are because of it.

[ She giggles. ] Something like that! What pokémon did you get this time?

It sounds like a lot of trouble.. But I guess you enjoy it if you keep doing it, huh.

What can you do? Dance, sing, act? Don't idols do all those things?

It's alright! That's just part of being an idol.

[ she thinks? okay, maybe it's actually complete unrelated to what's going on at the moment, but it kinda feels the same... ]

A Ralts! I think that's what it's called? The little green guy. [ she turns her device's camera over to it again and... well, it appears to be sleeping. but still, cute! ]

That's right! I can do all those things. [ some better than others, but still... ]

But being an idol is about something more... Hm... [ it's kind of hard to put it into words, but she waves her arms a bit, trying to gesture at... something... ] It's more like... being someone really amazing, right! Someone that everyone looks up to and wants to be like! Being an idol is about being an amazing person like that.

Oh, how cute! It looks like it's worn out already and you haven't even started yet.
