1st live [video/action] - new bark town

[ 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. ]

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?

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. ]

*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)

[ 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?

--!!!

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!!

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. ]

*oh. That is a Very Kind offer and Hayate can feel his heart grow three sizes from it!!! ... well, no, that's probably just his wallet. since having anything in it at all would usually make it grow three times.*

Makoto-san... While I appreciate that offer, especially considering how horrible my luck with money tends to be, I couldn't possibly take money from a blossoming idol!

*And then he glances off to the side, his expression shifting from pleased and appreciative to dark and overcast.*
Besides, with my track record, if I ever needed money, it would definitely wind up being far more than what someone's allowance could cover...

[ your life is so hard hayate... ]

Oh... well I'm just offering in case you ever need it! Don't worry, I really don't mind.

[ she might miss an issue or two of her weekly shoujo manga magazines but... she'll live... ]

Eh? Did you say something, Hayate? [ she didn't quite catch that last part... ]

*being butler is truly suffering... and immediately he raises a hand to the camera to dismiss himself, smiling awkwardly.*

No no, nothing at all! That offer is more than enough to fill the heart of this fan, Makoto-san~!

Oh. [ well, if he says so! ]

Pleasing fans... That's the job of an idol. [ cue sparkles. yeah, there's no way she could deliver a line like that without some sparkling. ]

*OH NO the doki doki returns. he can feel the defenses being shattered even over this distance.*

A-Ah... Well, um... Yo--You're definitely good at that part of the job! Very, very good-!

[ maybe she's getting better at this idol stuff after all! that's definitely encouraging! ]

Really? You think so? [ she hears this from girls all the time, but from a guy it's new! ] Thanks, Hayate! You really are a good guy!

--eh?! I, um... I-I do think so, but, ah... I-I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would think the same thing-!

*if only she knew how he's practically a girl 70% of the time......*

Hahaha, you're really good at flattery, huh? [ despite that, she's blushing slightly. even if she thinks he's just trying to make her feel better. ] But I've still got a long way to go.

[ that's better than 100% of the time, she'll take it. ]

Edited (whoops) 2012-06-19 03:23 (UTC)

Ah, I... I'm not really... I seem to get that fairly often, but I'm just being honest, really! *he's raising a hand as if in defense, since he really does mean it!* Even if you do have a long way to go, I'm sure with the kind of energy you always have, it'll be a quick climb...

If there's one thing I know I'm good at, it's having energy! [ no one can top her. really. no one. ] You've gotta have a lot of energy to be an idol. It's a really busy lifestyle.

--ah, yes, definitely! I've learned that very well from being around Yayoi all this time!

*look at how he practically sparkles when he mentions Yayoi*

Yeah, Yayoi's got a lot of spirit too! [ though, if he's around yayoi all the tiem, that must mean... ]

Are you good friends with Yayoi?
