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. ]

[ Wait... ]

Babies!?

[ But it's so small and cute how is that possible!!! ]

Yes, babies. Miki was tricked by an evil boy on the first day. Shinn used a Ditto and that Ditto transformed to look like Chiki. [ Her voice just sinks more into a whine than anything else. ] Then they ran off into the tall grass and then later there were eggs!

[ Not only did Shinn's Ditto look like Miki's Chikorta, it also adopted her flirty personality. It's still up for debate as to who seduced who... ]

Miki won that duel though, so Shinn owes a good lunch.

W, wait a second, wait... [ no, no, no, she's having very serious trouble wrapping her mind around this. ran off into the tall grass? and then there were eggs? ] So they... then they had babies? Just like that?

[ oh dear... she goes to her ralts, wrapping her arms around it protectively and glancing around, afraid some predatory ditto might be around. ]

Can something like that really just be settled with a lunch?

Just like that.

[ Miki still refuses to let Shinn live that day down. It's the only thing she's got over him for now. ]

... Do you think Shinn owes Miki even more then? [ Because she's always looking for an excuse to make him pay for things. ] Well, Miki will be sure to tell him he owes more compensation!

[ shudder. well, if it doesn't bother miki too much then...

no, no, it still bothers makoto. there's no way she can just let that go that easily. she shakes her head a bit as she tries to get the thought out of her head. ]

Way more. He owes you at least... at least... [ what else can she get out of him? ] At least five lunches.

Five whole lunches?! [ Miki better watch out for her figure at this rate. ] Maybe instead of lunches, he can go with Miki to shop in Goldenrod City! Five outfits is the same thing as five lunches, right?

And then you can get him to buy you lunch anyway! [ why does makoto even seem excited about this in the first place... ]

[ Her eyes light up. ]

That's right! It's only fair to do that after spending the entire day with Miki, right?!

Yeah! I mean... [ wait, what? makoto crosses her arms, trying to process that logic for a moment...

before giving up and just nodding in agreement. ] Yeah, exactly! Who is this Shinn guy, anyway?

Shinn is one of Athrun's friends. [ Glancing up towards the sky briefly. ] Oh, I guess they are both Miki's friends too. They travel a lot.

[ the first part didn't really explain much, but makoto at least understands that last bit. ] Maybe I'll meet them one of these days.

They're helpful, so Miki's sure that you will. Shinn is difficult to get along with, but he's a good person.

[ Even if his Ditto is a Poke-egg crazed Pokemon. ]

Yeah, he sounds... difficult. [ "evil boy" and all... ] But you must have met a lot of interesting people here.

[ she might have been worried that you were lonely on your own, miki, but that doesn't seem to be the case. ]

He's difficult, but Miki can tell he has a good heart deep inside. He just doesn't want people to know about it. [ Ah-ha! ] That must be his special personality trait!

[ As for interesting people, she stops to consider it. While there's so many unread messages on her PokeGear from the people here, she's read a lot of strange things. ]

Miki thinks of it like a big concert that's in a foreign country and it's the only one of it's kind. So everyone from all over the world shows up and then the concert is late, so the audience just gets to speak with each other. [ Yawning. ] Yeah, something like that, Miki thinks.

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?
