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. ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

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

Seriously? The idol world sounds pretty competitive, but it's good that you two still get along.

Competitive? Eheh, yeah, I guess it is. But that's why you have to work together! You could never get to the top alone.

[ she seems to be missing the point that There Can Only Be One, but oh well. ]

Huuu~ That's a good spirit to have! You won't get anywhere if you don't have loyal companions to give you a hand. [Since her statement is glowing with *~*~*~FRIENDSHIP*~*~*~* he doesn't seem to mind. Ah, now that he thinks about it-]

Oh yeah... Do you know a woman named Azusa Miura?

[ she just crosses her arms, nodding in approval. ] Mmhm, mmhm. That's right. [ she wouldn't be half the idol she is today without all the others. ] Besides, isn't it more fun that way? Doing everything on your own sounds pretty boring.

Ah, that's right! You know Azusa-san too? We're from the same agency!

Oh! So, you're that Makoto! She was talking about her friends and your name came up suddenly! [He'll be giving her a nod and thumbs-up.]

Yup. We've been traveling with each other for a few weeks now. She's loads of fun!

[ oh, huh. so azusa's mentioned her? that's kind of flattering, she supposes. so she returns the thumbs up. ] She is, isn't she?

[ wait... traveling with her? the statement inspires a bit of dread in her, prompting her to inquire. ] Um... she hasn't gotten you in any trouble or anything like that, has she?

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.

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... ]

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.]

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.

You two have kids already!?

[ married???? ]

Edited 2012-06-18 23:12 (UTC)

Yup~! We've got two of 'em! Their names are Chika and Miu!

[ ...wait, those names sound familiar.

actually, hasn't she already met both of miu and chika...? ]

But... how... [ she needs some time to process this. or more importantly, to realize that the conclusion she's reached is clearly wrong.

but for now she's quite squarely convinced of it. ]

Ah? We just met up, then everything else happened so fast! Before I knew it, we had those kids following us! [Hmmm... He should check up on them later now that he thinks about it.]

I gotta admit that our family grew up pretty quickly, but I guess that was to be expected!

[ isn't that a little... too fast...? well azusa is an adult, so makoto is sure she made the right decisions but...

...

no on second thought she's not sure about this. not sure at all. ]

Why was it... to be expected...? [ kind of afraid of what the answer might be... ]
