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

[Ugh. That dreaded "c" word again. Even if it is his selling point, it's still soul crushing to hear it, especially from a fellow dude.]

It's very nice to meet you too, Ayasaki-san! Ahahaha... That reminds me! How did you become a fan of Makoto-san?

She dazzled me.

*That says it all, right?*

[He feels it, man. He feels it.]

Ah, kind of like me then. When my heart started racing when I first met her, I was worried that I was "abnormal"...

--ah, exactly! I was worried about the exact same thing! Like, um... *Lowering his voice a little.* C-Can I be honest with you, Akizuki-san...?

[O-Oh, is this secret time? Ryo isn't sure he was ready to do this with someone he's just met. Still, he lowers his voice, and even leans closer to the screen to hear Hayate better.]

Hm? S-Sure. What is it, Ayasaki-san...?

*oh good it would have been rather awkward for him to have been refused... And he is keeping his voice hushed and as if this is the most super secret thing ever.*

Well, um... W-When it comes to being dazzled by Makoto-san, it's kind of like... In a way... Sometimes I feel... ... like I'm somehow being shifted into the mindset of a maiden or a princess...

*also know as send help he's too girly to handle makoto's boyish charm.*

[Ryo can't feel anything else but empathy for this guy. He gets it, man. He totally gets it.]

Right, I totally know how you feel! Makoto-san is practically a knight in shining armor... It kind of hurts my pride though, in way...

[Ryo, you're kind of getting too comfortable.]

*Hayate is far too dense to pick up on how odd it is that Ryo is agreeing with him on this, he's just relieved he wasn't laughed at for it!*

R-Right? I'd like to think I can have my moments of being knightly or cool, yet whenever Makoto-san is around I can't help but feel like the only role suited for me would be the damsel in distress...! It's amazing how much of a natural she is without even trying...

[Thank goodness for that.]

Well, I don't think it's really abnormal for you to feel that way... Makoto-san has male fans too, so I'm sure they feel the same. One day, I'd like to have the ability to invoke that feeling too... [Too bad he's the direct opposite.]

S... Seriously? I wonder... *are all of her male fans like him? that's a little worrying, yet at the same time he wouldn't be that surprised.*

Still, ah... I guess... If that's the kind of feeling you want to invoke, it must be tough to train under her in that regard when she does it so naturally, huh...? Especially if she has a similar effect on you...

Eheh, yeah. It's really arduous.

[Ryo grimaces and tugs at the skirt of the dress he's wearing.]

Especially when I have to wear clothes like these...

*While he is dense as a brick wall, unfortunately that is enough to make Hayate tilt his head a little.*

--eh? Clothes like those...?

*There is a DRAMATIC PAUSE as Hayate seems to be considering what was just said. . .*

--ah!! Could it be... you actually prefer outfits with pants or shorts, yet you somehow always end up in skirts and dresses for idol jobs?! I can definitely understand why that would make things complicated when you're always around a girl like Makoto-san.

[Yes, yes good. Ryo's quick to roll with this once he's realized he's slipped up again.]

R-Right! That's exactly right! My company's president wants me to project a "cute and graceful" image, so she always sticks me in dresses...

It's really counterproductive to my goal, you know! I get that I'm really not that... fierce like my cousin, but I became an idol to change myself! [THE PATH TO MANLINESS IS A LONG ONE.]

Hmmm... I can see why... That kind of image seems to suit you! You definitely look the part, Akizuki-san. *Hayate is one of the worst people to have tell you this, Ryo.*

Still, your current image aside, I'm sure that you can reach the one you want to have eventually! I think becoming an idol to change yourself is a very admirable thing. ♥

[Ryo really doesn't want to hear this from him... That reassurance helps, though.]

You really think so? Thanks! [That really does lift his spirits somewhat.]] You know, you're really nice guy, Ayasaki-san.

[He's not creepy like a lot of the other guys Ryo knows. It's kinda refreshing in the way.

No homo.]

Eheh... I seem to get told that a lot, but I'm just being honest! *Which tends to ruin him when he's too honest.* In fact from what I've seen so far, I could definitely say the same for you, Akizuki-san.

Ah... well, with changing the guy part to a girl, of course. *unintentional critical hits are on of his specialties...*

[SOB.]

R-Right! Because I'm most certainly a girl and definitely not some effeminate guy being forced to crossdress! That'd be way too silly and far-fetched! Ahahahaha! You're so smart, Ayasaki-san!

... eh? EH?! T-That...

That... *Wow he is letting out a big sigh, not even considering that he somehow broke Ryo and he just blurted out some big secret.* That sounds like something that would happen to me... So, um... I... I wouldn't call it that far-fetched, actually... More incredibly likely, depending on what kind of girls were around at the time...

[Well, he was hoping that it was audacious enough for people to not even consider it a possibility---Wait hold the phone.]

Something that would happen to you?

[Ryo couldn't help but study the other face on the screen more carefully this time.]

Now that you've mentioned it, Ayasaki-san does look a bit... delicate. [To put it mildly.] It must be tough having to deal with that.

De.. Delicate...?

*That's a oddly new one for him. Usually it's right to "girly" or "poor" or "cute" or "shady" or-- okay nevermind he doesn't want to mentally list what his face has been called anymore.*

Ah... Ahahaha... It... It definitely has its moments! *not pouting, honest.* I'd definitely take someone commenting on my face than my personality though-!

[Okay yeah. Now Ryo definitely sees it. Comrade, he's rooting for you! Secretly.]

Eh? I don't see anything wrong with your personality. At least, from what I've seen so far.

*Secret unknown allies... the future is bright.*

Ah, that's... *letting out a sigh.* I can't count the number of times I've had someone ask me if I was sure I wasn't a girl due to something I did or said even if I used both hands... That's the kind of thing I meant...
