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

[femininity]

[ 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. ]

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

[Video]

[femininity]

[ ...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. ]

[Video]

[tobeyourhero]

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!

[Video]

[femininity]

[ 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... ]

[Video]

[tobeyourhero]

Because we're two charismatic people!!! [CAN YOU FEEL HIS PASSION!?]

[femininity]

Ah, I see...! [ she's kind of impressed...!! ]

[Video]

[femininity]

Wait, what does that have to do with it!?

[Video]

[tobeyourhero]

I don't know, but it's been really fun!!

[Video]

[femininity]

Even if it has, don't tell me that!!!

[Video]

[tobeyourhero]

Haaaah?! But I can barely contain my joy about it!

[Video]

[femininity]

Contain it!!!

[Video]

[tobeyourhero]

Mmmmm... Fine, fine.

[Video]

[femininity]

[ and finally, a sigh of relief. ]

I guess... as long as you're both happy..

[Video]

[tobeyourhero]

I'll take good care of her! That's a promise between men.

[femininity]

[tobeyourhero]

[Video]

[femininity]

I don't look exactly like one!!!

[ are you going to make a girl cry, captain... ]

[tobeyourhero]

[JEEZ... How does one deal with the opposite gender when they've never even given it any thought?

Give him a minute or two...]

[Video]

[tobeyourhero]

Well... In the end, it doesn't matter to me if you're a boy or a girl since you are you!

[Video]

[femininity]

[ oh... that's...! ]

Thanks...

[ not really that comforting, actually. it's still just more upsetting that he thinks she looks that much like a boy. ]

Eheh, I guess it doesn't... really matter... [ q_q ]

[Video]

[tobeyourhero]

[???? He is still confused! It looks like she hasn't recovered from that statement-]

Hey, hey! Cheer up! It's not like this happens to you often! ... Does it?

[Video]

[femininity]

No! Of course not!

[ hahahahaha... ha... ha...

she sulks, turning away from the camera before shaking her head. ]

...it does...

[Video]

[tobeyourhero]

A... ah... I would give you a pat on the shoulder, but we're over video.
