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

*he is all about the weird analogies.* I've heard! It always sounds like she practically doubles as the maid for the place...

[ ... ] Yeah, she kind of does, huh? I think Ritsuko-san might pay her a little for her trouble, too... [ makoto's never thought of it that way, but yayoi really is their team maid... ]

. . .

It kind of makes me wonder how well a maid uniform would suit her. *this is a dangerous flag to raise.*

It would definitely be really cute!

[ she is oblivious to such danger. ]

Ehehe... She definitely would! I wonder how hard it would be to find one in her size? I don't have any that would fit her... *he's going to backpedal an entire marathon when he realizes he let that slip.*

I don't think it would be too hard. But yeah, she's smaller than you, so yours probably wouldn't fit. [ what a conundrum. what is truly perplexing about what she has just said has yet to dawn on her though. ] If you want, I can look around for one for her.

Yeah, she's a good foot shorter than me, so the ones I have would--

--!!!! *AND THEN IT HITS HIM LIKE A CAR. One that backed up over him to make sure he was dead.*

N-N-N-Not like I actually have any! I mean, um-! That was just a kind of hypothetical!! If I had any, I meant! I definitely don't own a variety of maid uniforms or anything like that! That would just be weird!!

*alert mode activated!! status: RED*

[ okay after that reaction there's no way it wouldn't dawn on her.

it takes her a little while to process, but... ]

Wait a second Hayate, why do you have maid uniforms in the first place?

[ totally ignoring his ineffectual protesting, yep. ]

Ah... Ahahaha...!! A-Aren't you just imagining things, Makoto-san?! There's no way a perfectly normal boy like me would have maid uniforms! I'm a butler, after all! That's like, the exact opposite of a butler! Surely I would only have more butler uniforms!!

*doth protest too much*

[ did she imagine it?

...no, no, she definitely didn't. ]

It's okay, Hayate. I think I understand. Maid uniforms are cute, right? It's only natural that you'd want to put one on, even if other people don't think you should. [ ...oh, how well she understands that. her voice quivers a bit as she says it. ] Even if a butler uniform suits you better, you still want to try a maid uniform just once...!

It's that kind of thing, right?

[ no makoto, your situations are completely different. don't confuse the two... ]

--?!?! *makoto no don't do this to him!! The yelp he just let out is the most undignified thing imaginable and the fact she sounds so serious and sure about this is just awful!!*

T-T-That's not it at all, Makoto-san! It's definitely not that kind of thing!! Even if it was somehow that kind of thing I give you my full assurance I would not make the jump right to maid uniforms of all things if I wanted to walk that path-!

I-- They-! *deep breath, Hayate. look at him as he tries to put on a serious expression through the ridiculous bright red sheet that makes up his entire face.*

Th-They were all given to me!! Or left for me! Or-- I-- I've never once worn one because I wanted to! That is the vital and important piece of information I must get across here!

[ never once worn one because he wanted to... that's all her mind really focuses on through his embarrassed proclamations.

he's actually a guy, and yet he's gotten to wear one? whereas she, a girl, never gets to!! how is that fair at all? where is the justice there!!! ]

You're a really lucky guy, you know that?

[ somehow the nuance of his unwillingness to wear them goes way over her head. ]

I... what?! N-No I'm not! Luck is nearly non existent for me! Wait, more importantly... how did that spawn from what I said?! D-Don't tell me you're going to suddenly encourage me to wear them-!

*this is the strangest result... he would have preferred she judge him harshly for it if this is going to take a turn down a path of support...*

[ she seems to imagine it for a bit... actually it's unclear what she's imagining. hayate in a maid outfit? herself in a maid outfit? some bizarre combination of both scenarios?

but just as quickly she snaps out of her idle daydream. ]

N, no... if you don't want to wear them, you shouldn't. [ a shake of the head. a waste of such great potential. ] But if you want to, you should. [ ...it's very simple advice, isn't it? ]

*makoto do not imagine such dangerous things! Hayate can tell just from watching she's visualizing something there and he almost pipes up to tell her not to but then she chimes in.*

That... That's really simply advice, Makoto-san... *not about to not say it.* I mean, I don't want to, so I will continually do my best not to! No matter how many times it ends up happening, I'll keep my resolve to not enjoy it-!

[ she's moved by your determination, hayate. surely, you will be successful in this endeavor. no matter what, you will never enjoy wearing a maid outfit!!

actually that kind of annoys her. ]

If you really don't want to wear it, how come it keeps happening? [ dubious... ]

*STORM CLOUD OVER HEAD;*

... probably because most of the people I know think they suit me better than my butler uniform.

[ oh. ooooh. she gets that. she really gets that. ]

DON'T GIVE UP, HAYATE!

*the tiniest of yelps at that sudden morale boost*

--eh?! I-I won't! Never give up, never surrender!! ... especially about this-!

Good. [ little do they know they are on completely different wavelengths. well, maybe he realizes it, but she doesn't. ]

Then everything'll be fine.

*all he understands about this right now is she's encouraging him, which is making him both happy and confused since dammit the topic.*

Ri... Right! I don't know about everything, but I'm sure most of it will definitely be fine as long as I stick to my guns!
