Fourth Song

[persistentsong]

[When the device comes on, no one is probably expecting Ranka to be dressed in a cheongsam as she starts to sing this. She finishes and waits a second with a big smile on her face.]

I was just thinking the other day that it would be good to get a job. I don't want to just sit around anymore. I actually did this a lot back home for businesses that wanted advertisement! If anyone would like, I could do it here too.

I don't mind wearing a costume and working to help out the business as well.

If anyone's interested, let me know!

Nyan nyan...?

Don't tell me this is another song from your world?

[persistentsong]

Mm! It's actually from the place that I worked at part time. How are you Shu?

[departing]

What kind of job was that?

[He is so confused.]

I'm okay, thanks for asking. How about yourself? You seem energetic today.

[... Ranka, what in the world is that song? Do you have any idea of what you are coming off as right now?

Just... this look.]

[persistentsong]

It was waitressing for a place called Nyan Nyan. We wore uniforms like this, and I ended up advertising for them as well once my singing took off.

I'm doing okay.

[She blinks and waves to Eyes. She's used to weird costumes, so she doesn't understand the look.]

Is everything okay?

[demonical]

[He'll have to admit, that she's actually a really good singer. But that doesn't stop him from snickering considering the song choice. He's smirkin' a little can't you tell?]

Ranka, that song is ridiculous.

[persistentsong]

It really is isn't it? It was fun to sing and a little better than the other advertising songs I've done before.

[There are others Rin, you don't even want to know.]

[demonical]

Oh. So you really did ads for your job?

[persistentsong]

Actually, no. I was a professional singer. I did the ads for fun because I really enjoyed helping others.

[demonical]

[You hear that, that's Rin falling out of his chair.

Welp.

Give him a minute to get up will you?]

[persistentsong]

Rin! Are you okay?

[demonical]

[The video feed shifts clearly he's trying to get up, he's not hurt but his pride is a little bit wounded]

You. never. told. me. you. were. famous.

[persistentsong]

[She blushes, and then looks down.]

Mm. Well, I just-

[There is a lot there obviously that Ranka isn't saying. But she does look at him timidly.]

Being famous isn't important.

[patronizing]

. . . . . . .

[ what did she just listen to ]

Are you an idiot?

[persistentsong]

Eh? No, I'm just singing something that I did back home for an advertisement.

[demonical]

You just?-

Oh. [well yeah]

Well, I guess you're right.

[persistentsong]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to surprise you. It's just that it's never come up before.

[There are a lot of things that haven't come up between them yet.]

voice;

[patronizing]

H-Hmph, you call that singing? All you were doing was making cat noises, no, not even that, you were making noises that even a normal human couldn’t bear to listen to for longer than a millisecond.

voice;

[persistentsong]

It's-

[Her voice cuts off and she just looks down.]

[demonical]

Don't beat yourself about it, we all have your stuff that we're hiding.

[Himself included. Hell, he's lost count of the number of people he's lied to.]

[persistentsong]

I don't want to keep things from people. If there is anything you want to know about me I want you to ask.

[She wants to be friends with him after all.]

[demonical]

Seriously? Uuuuh like what?

[Gosh, way to put him on the spot Ranka]

[persistentsong]

Just anything. It doesn't have to be right now, but when you have a question I won't lie to you.

[This, is embarrassing. Maybe this wasn't the type of conversation they should be having. Ah, awkward moments.]

voice;

[patronizing]

[ inside? she feels pretty damn bad for saying that, but because of her annoying front she makes sure to coat it over ] What, has the cat got your tongue? Or, maybe, do you believe that your singing really isn’t all it’s made out to be?
