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. ]

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

Oh! Um... Nice to meet you too!

[Smile! That's the only way Ryo could think to respond to this.]

Though... 'Welcome back'? Makoto-san doesn't act like she's been here before.

Yes! I'm Ryo Akizuki. We're from different companies, but Makoto-san taught me a lot on what it means to be an idol.

[Look at that proud smile! Ryo has all the pride in his senpai! Makoto is definitely the best.]

Though, um... Has she really been here before? [OOPS.]

[A FEW HOURS LATER...]

Everyone here seems pretty nice, Makoto-san! [It's eased Ryo's fear a bit too.] I kind of got the gist of what's going on now, but... I wonder what we should do next?

Eh? I haven't gotten into any trouble so far. But it's taking us a while to get to the next city.

[Now that he thinks about it...] Normally, I would've ran off with guns blazing to the next town, but I didn't wanna leave the others behind.

'Course you are! The both of you stand out pretty easily.

Ah, is that so? That's good. If we didn't stand out, we wouldn't be much of an idol...

[This must be progress!]

Maybe you'll be one of our fans one day! [Giggle! That's totally a joke.]

. . . [Give him a moment as he's thinking to himself.]

Hmmmm... [Looking him, er, her over...]

[And OUT OF NOWHERE--]

YOU CAN ALREADY CONSIDER ME A FAN OF YOURS!!!

[NO--]

[Okay, okay. Yeah, having mostly male fans kind of suck, but a fan is a fan! If Ryo has any chance of becoming a real man, he must first shed the man! That was what the President had advised him about.

For the sake of attaining manliness, HE MUST BECOME A GIRL...!]

Kyah, really?! I'm so happy! [Time to put on the brightest and giddiest smile ever! SPARKLESPARKLE.] So then, as my newest fan, could perhaps tell me your name?

[And returning that smile with a handsome toothy glint. She looked really happy, so this had also made him happy in return!]

Yup, I'll tell you who I am. My name is Shouichi Kazama! I'm going to become a great adventurer someday!

--!!!

Oi oi oi, Makoto-san!! I haven't felt this kind of accidental pressure in ages, and to be feeling it so accurately as if you had a laser sight and were aiming it squarely between my eyes is pushing the limits of my skill! A man can only put on so many fronts before he has to bravely jump overboard!!!

*AHEM. COUGH COUGH. clearing his throat as non-dramatically as possible because he must at least try to keep this image she's gathering of him as squeaky clean as possible.*

Ah-- ahahaha...!! T-That's right! *look at all these nervous ticks like awkward laughing and rubbing the back of his head.* I-I certainly never owed any kind of debt to the yakuza that was in the millions, nope! That would just be crazy!!

*o-oh look at that bright shiny smile! what cute girl this is!!* Eheh... I'll be rooting for you~!

Oh, I'm Hayate! Hayate Ayasaki. It's truly a pleasure to get to meet another cute idol such as yourself, Akizuki-san!

Yeah! It's good to see that there are others here too!

[ well, she means other idols specifically, but ryo probably understands that. ]

Eh? What do you mean? [ to her, it's obvious what they do next... ] We're supposed to train these little guys and go on an adventure! [ wooooooo. ]

I guess it'd be pretty hard... [ with azusa wandering off all the time... ]

But you're a pretty good guy, huh? Looking after others. [ she just assumes that's what he must be doing, anyway... ]

Mm, that's right~ I was promoting myself rather well back in Goldenrod... Until I somehow found myself wandering all the way over here, that is~

*her most impressive feat to date of walking across an entire region into the next one over in only three days!!! even if it was 4th wall fault.

at least she laid out some ground work for her fellow idols to get work there.*

Ufufu... We can all aim for Johto Top Idol~

*even if the idol business here is not nearly as crazy.*

Oh, how wonderful~! You didn't lose it after all... I was rather worried for a moment there.

*alas, she hasn't the slightest clue about the near heart attack she just gave Ryo and sees nothing strange about that reaction!!*

Yeah! After all, they're pretty easy to carry around if they off track! [COURSE he spends more time enjoying the traveling to god knows where.]

Right, of course not! Ahahaha!

[ though as she laughs, a though occurs to her. what a strangely specific thing to say in reply... could it be that hayate actually is in some sort of financial trouble!?

maybe she's accidentally struck a sore sport for him... ]

Um, but if you ever need to borrow a little money, I can lend you part of my allowance, okay?

[ yes that will surely make everything alright. ]

Goldenrod...? [ she doesn't know where that is, but more importantly... ] Where are you right now anyway, Azusa-san?

[ she figures it'd probably be good to meet up and regroup at some point, though from a quick glance at her map she sees that things are pretty spread out.

but just as quickly her attention darts to something far more important. ]

J, Johto Top Idol... [ she sounds quite in awe as she repeats it. ] Really, there's something like that here too? Then I'm definitely going to go for it!

Yeah, they... wait, carry around!?

[ has he been... carrying azusa-san? bridal style? piggyback? over his shoulder? suddenly, images one after the other.

wh, what kind of relationship do they have... ]

[PROUD NODDING ON HIS END. And going to say this as if it's no big deal.]

Yup. I carry Miura-san in my arms and the kids ride my shoulders.
