This still sounds like something out of a manga.

[A girl appears on-screen. She hasn't quite been able to swallow this scenario; it all seems just a little too weird.]

Picking the great Ritsu was an excellent choice! I can bring colour to this world! Although... it's a little sad.

[Ritsu places her hand on her heart, bowing her head. She allows for a nice, dramatic pause and then-]

While I am here, I am unable to fulfill my promise! The one I made with my friends on that fateful day by the shore! We stood together and took each others hands and vowed that we would play at the Budokan someday!

How cruel it is that those words now mean nothing!

[Exaggerating? Mayyybe. ...Now? Would be a good time for someone to hit her on the head.]

How cruel!

Bein' a bit dramatic there, aren't ya?

[chosethedrums.livejournal.com]

Am I?

[hanged-pervert.livejournal.com]

A bit, yeah.

[magicamente.livejournal.com]

Don't look at it like that! You can do a lot for this world while you're here. I'm sure your friends would be proud of you for that!

[chosethedrums.livejournal.com]

That's pretty true! By helping out, I'd be like some kind of manga hero. Doesn't sound bad at all!

[magicamente.livejournal.com]

Manga hero…?

Is that like a superhero?

[ She is visibly confused. ]

Budokan...? [ whistle. ] You're aiming pretty high.

Why don't you think of this place as a nice diversion to get some extra practice in?

[chosethedrums.livejournal.com]

[They're so going to do it. They may have... graduated without getting there, but she's still determined!]

Oho! Now there's a good idea! This''l be like one long training camp!

[Where she... doesn't practice and just lazes about, sob.]

[satisfies]

[ just keep dreaming... ]

Hyahahha, that's the spirit! Man, if I had a dream like that, I'd be sure to get in some extra training in too.

[ yawn. ] But I don't.

Bragging like that... [ sena is so jelly of that friendship pact ] It's not like complaining about this here will get anything done. If you've got a friend and a promise to return to, go force those gods into sending you back!

[chosethedrums.livejournal.com]

I don't like my chances of successfully forcing a god to send me back home.

[meatshields.livejournal.com]

If it were me, I'd still try. [ b-because she's a friendless loser so she wants your problems ritsu ] Or you could ask them to bring your friend here.

[ although she frowns a little at that. dragging your friend into this? :/ no. bad suggestion sena ]

[Sadly, someone is a sucker for big dreams, getting separated from friends and family, and broken promises. As such, Ayumi here is taking it 100% seriously.]

Mmm, it's really cruel.

[video]

[chosethedrums.livejournal.com]

[Oh no. Poor girl. :c Ritsu will give her tea as an apology >_<]

It's the cruellest!

[video]

[eatscreepypasta.livejournal.com]

Maybe not the cruelest, but it's still pretty high up there.

[sora-wo-koete.livejournal.com]

You're a performer?

[chosethedrums.livejournal.com]

Sure am! I play the drums in my band!

[sora-wo-koete.livejournal.com]

... I see.

[ Chihaya's estimation of Ritsu has shot up from "melodramatic" to "fellow musician." ]

The Budokan's a very ambitious goal... I hope you and your band manage to reach it someday. It's an entirely different feeling to perform on a stage like that.

[histories]

Cruel indeed... What would 'Budokan' be, though?

[chosethedrums.livejournal.com]

It's only the place to perform if you're a musician! It's a venue where bands go to play for crowds of people!

Famous bands like The Beatles have played there! And our aim is to get good enough to get to play there too!

[histories]

Ah... A musician? You did give off the image that you're into acting instead... [ponders this.] Multi-talented, perhaps?

[agoodfamily.livejournal.com]

You sound just like one of my friends... [Fondly, distantly.]

[Then, with a stricken look -]

Oh - I'm sorry you ended up breaking a promise to your friends. It's not your fault, though! I'm sure they'll understand!

[gentle]

Manga? Budokan?

[they sound like things ryoku would partake in-- N briefly wishes his sage didn't end up being a back-stabbing son of a bitch. he would probably be useful right about now.

regardless, N blinks, his nonplussed expression softening slightly as he shakes his head.]

You truly are from a different world.
