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. ]

[ Ara? It was a very familiar face ... Makoto. It had been a while. ]

Makoto-kun, I am so pleased to be able to see you again!

[ The last Makoto never corrected her impression that she is a boy. ]

Ara? Is she a friend of yours?

Um... yeah, I pleased to see you again too!

[ ahah... ha... for some reason she doesn't have it in her to tell this person she doesn't remember her.

which will probably just make things worse, ultimately, but oh well. ]

Oh, you mean Ryo? Yeah, she's a friend! She's from another production agency, but we've worked together before.

[ Oh, Lacus would have understood. It happens often in Johto that her friends wouldn't remember her.

A little heartbroken at first --- but not bad. ]

She is pretty. Ara --- I am sure Azusa, Yayoi and Miki-Miki will be happy to see you back.

[ yeah, it would definitely be better for makoto to explain.

but since makoto doesn't really understand how the whole departure and arrival thing works quite yet, she always feels like she's telling people she forgot them.

which is bad. ]

I hope so! I'm happy to see them all here too. It'd be a lot different if I didn't know anyone else here, but with all of them it doesn't seem that scary.

[ But Mako-chan really is such a sweetie to be considerate to to a girl's feelings. ]

I understand what you mean. I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have my friend, Athrun here to help me.

I don't know how many times I got lost. This world is such a big place ... especially now with the new Kanto region. I don't know much about the Kanto region ...

... but I am sure Hayate and Yayoi-chan would be happy to help!

You have other friends here too? That's good!

[ she really has no idea how big johto or kanto or any of that is... granted, she really doesn't even know what the "kanto region" means. but she takes the words to hear... she's going to have to work hard to keep track of where she is and not get lost. ]

Oh, I met Hayate! He seems really nice. Yayoi, too. [ and then her thoughts wander to azusa...

...

yeah azusa won't be much help in that department. ]

How odd, I thought for sure you've met him, Makoto-kun ...

He is Athrun. Athrun Zala?

[ At least she believed that Athrun had met all of the idols. Had he overlooked Makoto? That was not like him.

She is puzzled now. ]

Yes ... didn't you ... meet him last time you were here?

[ Considering that Azusa and Lacus had been friends for a long while --- she understood how hopeless it was to trust her with directions. ]

[ oh. well. um. whoops. she's not really sure what to say now...

so she finally just lets out a sigh, before laughing a bit weakly and scratching the back of her head. ]

Um... I probably did!

[ she assumes that's true, anyway... ]

I just don't remember it. I don't remember being here before, actually.

[ Lacus becomes ---- very quiet, but don't worry. She gives a soft smile. She was ... much too used to this to be hurt anymore. But she still believed that this was Makoto ...

... they can be friends again. ]

I see. You didn't have to hide it, Mako-kun. I understand. This happens very often. It isn't your fault ... but thank you.

[ For trying to save her feelings from getting hurt. ]

Um, but even if I don't remember, it's not because I wanted to forget or anything like that!

[ that much is probably already obvious, but she feels the need to stress it. ]

So you don't have to worry about anything like that...

[ she's not really sure what she's saying now, but hopefully the sentiment gets across. they can definitely be friends again. ]

[ What could she do but just smile? Makoto was sweet. Really sweet. This was a new side to her that she'd seen.

Lacus could remember the effortlessly charming boy he was in his last visit, but this was new. ]

I won't. Don't worry ... But I believe this means another introduction is in order.

My name is Lacus Clyne. I am pleased to meet you.

It's nice to meet you Lacus. Sorry about... you know, the confusion.

[ nonetheless, it seems like everything's settled pretty nicely. ]

But it really is great to meet you! Again, I guess. The second time is just as good as the first time!

[ or so she assumes anyway, not remembering how good it was the first time. ]

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.]

Ryo-chan?

[ Ara? How pretty. And it was quite cute how she seems to idolize Makoto-kun. ]

Yes she ---

[ ... ]

She?

I'm sorry ... Did you ... say she?

[Oh.

Oh. Uh-oh. It seems like this lady... Is going through the same thing Ryo did when he met Makoto. He's not sure how to feel about this.]

Umm... Y-Yes, though I feel like I've said something that I shouldn't have...

O-oh my! How ... how embarrassing!

[ All this time --- she thought Makoto was a boy. ]

How terrible of me ... I am so ashamed. I must apologize to her as soon as I can.

[ She is so embarrassed now ... that she doesn't know how to face her. ]

Eh? No, don't worry about it! I've actually done that too...

[Ryo does his best to smile reassuringly.]

She won't be angry, I promise. I'm sure Makoto-san knows that you weren't aware she was a girl, so please don't feel bad, Miss.

Ryo ...

[ Smiling softly. ] ... you are kind. Thank you.

And I can tell that also like for Makoto-chan a lot.

Eh...

[Wow, he can't help but blush a bit at both the compliment and the mention of Makoto.]

Well, o-of course I do like her... She's like my mentor, and I admire her a lot. She's... kind of like the person I want to become.

[ How very cute indeed. It was really a pleasure to meet new idols. ]

I am sure you can do that someday ...

[Oh, that's something new.]

Really? You think I can?

If you work hard, I believe you can.

Yeah! I always give it my best! It's my dream to change myself, after all. Thanks, I'll keep at it, umm...

[Who are you again.]
