[Hello, Asgard. Today, someone's bracelet's turned on to video. From its angle, it seems to be sitting on top of a desk inside of somebody's room. Who's? Well, wonder no longer as soon enough the owner of said bracelet steps into view, dressed in a cute pink outfit that looks more like a costume than a casual dress.]

Yoohoo! It's Risette, at your service! [Rise exclaims after giving a small twirl and wink to the camera. The skirt and ribbons sway and bunch around her legs like it was made for her.] At least that's what I would've said in the past. Hehe.

[She smiles and puts on her bracelet now, changing the point of view.]

I just got this outfit the other day. It really surprised me to see it again. You know what it is? It's my old idol outfit from before my hiatus. [Rise softens her expression, looking somewhat nostalgic.] I never thought I'd be wearing it again. It sure brings back memories, you know?

So, I was thinking. We really need to bring the color back to this city, right? What better way than some kind of concert or performance that'll reach lots of people at once! I know there's a ton of performers and other talented people out here in Asgard, so it can't hurt to try. Right?

Then maybe things like the other day won't have to happen again.

Wait, wait. So you're an idol? Like a real one? Like the ones you see on TV? That is so cool!

[exposes]

In the flesh!

You look really nice, Rise. [Ignore that blush on her cheeks - she's just a bit nervous about the length of that skirt.]

Your idea makes sense, with all the idols here. It could be good for morale, at least. [A faraway look.] I had a friend who would've loved to be a part of it...

video;

[exposes]

Thanks, Nakama-chan. How've you been lately?

That's basically the idea. Everyone's spirits might be low after all these attacks lately. A performance could help bring back some cheer. [she tilts her head.] Who was your friend?

[video]

[unprinny]

You're an idol!?

[video]

[exposes]

You caught me! I am an idol!

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

[That skirt is so short...]

...A concert? [Not that she wants to join, she's just curious. Besides, she never heard of Risette.]

[Audio]

[exposes]

Yeah! Doesn't it sound like fun?

[oresamazing]

[He doesn't reply to the video immediately, considering the statement. Originally, he thought it was kind of childish, especially considering that was pretty much what the gods did before when the dragon attacked. They gave them a scavenger hunt, which he admits while quite frustrating, did lift up some spirits.

He supposed it's not all bad when they were in such a dire situation.]

A~n, and what did you have in mind for a performance? There's quite a lot you need to put in order to stage one. [At least, one of Atobe's level of decent.]

video;

[exposes]

Well, there's quite a few idols here. We could have a small concert at least. And I'm sure there's tons of other talented people here that could put on a good show.

[Video]

[dreamsonwings]

What kind of performers are you looking for?

[Video]

[exposes]

Any! Singers, dancers, you name it. Whatever you can think of.

[seventeenpills]

[She was pretty - definitely an idol.]

I'd like to see a concert like that. I think that would be really cool and you're right - it would affect a lot of people at once. It would be a pretty effective thing to do, I think.

[exposes]

Right? If we work together, I'm sure we could put on a great show that everyone could enjoy.

[audio]

[faints]

What's an idol?

[audio]

[exposes]

You can think of idols as performers, basically. We sing, dance, act, model, and appear on TV at a regular basis. It's a lot of work.

[mybffmrhat]

[Such a cute costume! And another professional! Trucy is positively thrilled.] I was thinking the same thing, Risette! Nothing like a performance to keep people's spirits up and bring color to the colorless. If you need an opening act, I'm a magician.

[exposes]

You're a real magician? That's awesome! Oh wow, I'd love to see you perform. I bet you could bring lots of color to the city.

[giita]

You're a real idol?! With the stages and lights and singing and cute costumes and fluffy hairstyles?!

[Oh gosh, she sounds terribly excited.]

I wanna be on TV and wear a cute dress too!

[exposes]

I am! And you can! Do you perform anything?

video;

[orgiamode]

[An idol, huh? Interesting.]

Do you mean like a talent show?

video;

[exposes]

I guess so. Something like that would probably include everybody's talents for sure, although it would be pretty big, huh?

video; I apologize for her rudeness. . .

[madamemoiselle]

[Diva appraises the outfit with a clearly pretty harsh eye, but shrugs once she's finished talking]

Well, a performance sounds like a good idea, but will there be any real music? I mean, I'm sure that you idols and other modern singers work very hard, but you just don't have the proper techniques at all. Unless you'd surprise me by being able to sing opera! I mean, I haven't heard you sing, so I'm making assumptions, but...

[Sweetly,] It's kind of a fair one to make. Hey, but I'm trying to put together an opera, if you'd like to join that.

video; it's fine <3!!

[exposes]

Huh? [so far she'd mostly gotten a positive response, but suddenly she's getting annoyed] Hey, what does that mean? I'm not dissing opera or anything, but our music is real music too. It's fair enough if people wanna hear us sing our songs on stage.

video

[circuses]

Do we get to wear cute costumes like yours?

video

[exposes]

Well, sure! It is pretty cute, isn't it? [she spins around again.]

video

[wristbands]

Now there's something that brings back memories! You look great, Rise-chan.

Make sure Yosuke doesn't see.

[exposes]

Thanks, Chie-senpai!

Oh, I'm sure he already has. I've worn this outfit a few times before. [in concert dvds, in photoshoots... he probably has possessed one of these.]

[video]

[classifidol]

A concert... certainly cannot harm the state of things.

[video]

[exposes]

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. It won't hurt to try, and it'll hopefully make people happy in the end.

( video )

[windwalker]

Aaaaah, that outfit is really cute.

And a concert sounds amazing! [ SO MUCH EXCITE TO WATCH. ] It'd be even better if there was a festival added to it, too.

( video )

[exposes]

Thank you! Oh geez, if we could do it during a festival, that would be perfect.

But since it's Asgard, I don't have a clue what it celebrates and when exactly. So far it seems to be like our holidays on earth though.

[ video ] adds to the flood..

[myjunes]

[ rise, so cute.. hence why nanako here is just gasping in admiration and awe. ]

W-wow! That's so cute! [ a giggle. ] Are you going to sing for everyone..?

[ video ] STOP. IN THE NAME OF LOVE...

[exposes]

Thanks, Nanako-chan! I'm hoping to.

Do you wanna sing with me? We could sing the Junes song together!

[ video ] THIS TOO..!! (so it's come to this..)

[entreats]

... I doubt a concert of all things will keep something like that from happening, really. They'll continue to piss us off no matter what we do.

[ It doesn't sound as harsh or bitter as she'd normally be though since risay is a.. friend.. [blushcat] ]

[ video ] BEFORE YOU BREAK MY HEART...

[exposes]

I think it'll help a little, at least. A little's better than nothing at all, right?

video.

[relations]

[ Miki's video opens up at an angle, too, and soon she steps into view, wearing an equally cute, equally pink outfit. It's pretty apparent they served a similar purpose. ]

Hi, Risette! Miki is here to entertain, too!

[ That is to say, she's also an idol!! WOO ]

Miki's just showed up suddenly too - Not that she's complaining! This is Miki's favorite idol outfit. [ there's a pause, and Miki actually directs her attention to Rise. ] Why did you think you wouldn't put it on again? And why'd you hiatus? That doesn't sound like fun to Miki.. and that's what idoling is all about, right?

video.

[exposes]

Oh wow, Miki-chan! You look sooo adorable in that! [visual stat UP!!! but at that question, Rise sobers down a little.]

Well, I took a hiatus because I got tired of it. I needed a break from showbiz... though I actually wasn't planning on going back. I thought for a while that "Risette" was just an act, not who I really am inside. That made me sad for a long time, you know. [she shakes her head.]

But with a little help, I realized that being Risette is a big part of me. Being an idol is part of who I am, not some kind of act. There's no way I could give it up!

[verifies]

[ as the feed turns on from his side, souji admittedly looks a bit haggard. there are dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep, but otherwise he looks like himself. ]

That's a cute outfit.

[ ...yeah that seems to be all he has to say. ]

video; 1/2

[exposes]

Thanks, Senpai. I'm really glad you got to see it most of-

video;

[takebow]

You were on a hiatus...?

...Oh, right, you're from the 'future', I always forget.

video;

[exposes]

Yeah, it was just last year.

... Er, that would've been 2011, I guess. [a small laugh. time shenanigans were still weird.]

video;

[oxbridgethegap]

You may be correct. A large gathering such as a concert would have a significant impact on our surroundings, I believe.

Risette, was it? If you or your friends need some help organising such an event, I would gladly offer my help.

video;

[exposes]

You can call me Rise; "Risette" is my stage name technically. [smiles.] I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this could work. I really don't have experience with organizing or setting up the place, just performing on it, so- if you'd help, I'd really appreciate it!

[playerkills]

[ ugh a normal how disgusting ugh PRETTY NORMALS ]

I know a few who can play guitar...

[ Yozora can sing a little, but not that she'd ever offer her help to a normal hmph! Besides, it's embarrassing. ]

voice

[exposes]

[the prettiest idoliest normals!!]

Really? You think they'd want to perform?

[Video]

[sora_wo_koete]

[ Wow, that kind of outfit really DOES bring back memories, but- one thing at a time ] Kujikawa-san, you received something from back home, too?

[Video]

[exposes]

I sure did! Did you get something good too, Chihaya-chan?
