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. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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.*

[ 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. ]

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.*

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!

Well~ I'm all the way over in Viridian City... It's quite the long road here. Perhaps long enough to make a song about it...

*azusa is definitely going to be trying to get somewhere she can meet up with everyone after this! even if it will be a disaster and take a Very Long Time.*

I don't know if it's a official title... But it certainly has a very nice ring to it, doesn't it~?

Hm... The long road to Viridian City~♪

It doesn't seem that catchy...

[ but she'll think on it. maybe. ]

It does. If it's not an official title, we should make it one. [ they can do that... can't they? ]

Oh dear, and I thought I was onto something... Perhaps I should stick to what I know?

*or find a karaoke place.*

We should~! It could be something all of us strive for amidst our Pokemon related trials...

Eheh, you might still be onto something, Azusa-san. I might just not be good at coming up with lyrics...

[ well, no, she definitely isn't. ]

Hey, do you think Pokemon have idols too? [ eyeing her ralts again, with a mad gleam in her eye. ]

Hmmm~ I'll have to give it some more thought the next time I'm on the road... It just feels like that would be the most appropriate time.

I'm sure they do~ There are Pokemon actors out there, so there must be idols for them to look up to or admire...

Well, you have nothing better to do when you're traveling, right? Why not work on a song.

[ ...she'll probably do the same thing, now that it's occured to her. ]

Actors? Really? They can act? [ that's... whoa. mind blowing. ]

My... Perhaps you're right... There's certainly more than enough time on the road for that~ It wouldn't hurt to expand my skill a little...

*though odds are she'll end up forgetting half the lyrics if she does come up with something...*

Oh yes... I've seen quite a few of them on the dramas they air on TV here... It adds quite an interesting element to the plot~

You've always gotta work to get better! I'll do it too.

[ though the thought of makoto composing songs is a little bit frightening... ]

They have dramas here too? I can't wait to see one! [ a pause as she thinks, still beaming. ] Do you think we could get a part in one? [ acting in a miniseries would be so cool... ]

We'll just have to both give it our best shot~

*oh no they're both going to ruin their music career...*

Oh, certainly~ I've only managed to get far enough to appear in a short commercial... I wonder if I had kept at it if I could have got all of us a part in one...?

If both of us do it, no one can stop us!

[ that doesn't even make sense, but makoto sounds pretty sure of it. ]

Don't worry! Just getting in one commercial is pretty impressive. [ as expected of azusa-san. ] But now that I'm here too, we can help each other get bigger parts!

That's right~! If both of us give it our all, we'll definitely pull it off.

*she isn't even sure what they're so pumped about anymore, but it's hard to not agree with makoto sounding so sure!!*

Ufufu... I'm actually quite proud of the fact I managed to get that part on my own... It was a big challenge having to promote myself and make it to the shoot on time~

*mostly the latter part.*

[ yes, this is it! 765 pro's specialty... getting excited and pumped up about absolutely nothing!! ]

What kind of part was it, anyway?

[ though she is impressed that azusa managed to pull all that off on her own.. yes, especially the latter part. ]

It was being the model for a new clothing line a local store was putting out~ The maker of it said I wore it very well...

*the best kind of job for top tier melon azusa-san yes*

[ yeah, she can kind of envision it now... ]

Yeah, if it was Azusa-san, I'm sure it went well... you're perfect for that kind of job.

[ unlike makoto q_q ]

My, perfect...? I suppose I did get jobs like that rather often... It was my first time doing a full commercial though...

*it's okay makoto maybe you'll get one too...

for a mens style.*

Is there a copy of it anywhere? I want to see it.

[ azusa being beautiful... never gets old.

...

why cruel johto why!! ]

Hmmm... I'm not sure, really... I think it should still be airing...? Maybe if you watch a few Johto dramas you'll see it...

Alright! I'll make sure to watch some right away. [ the true reason she and ryo don't leave new bark town the first day, and are still here when chihaya and ami appear... ]

I recommend Days of our Mons~ It's very interesting. *in that it involves pokemon having crazy relationships just as much as the human actors.*

I'll write that down. [ and quite dutifully, she pulls some paper out of her bag to do that. ] It's good that you know so much stuff already. [ because this is clearly important advice she needs to succeed here. ]

Uhuhu~ I'm quite pleased that I can pass it on to you. *and she sees absolutely nothing wrong with this. who would, geez.*
