[ the feed opens to a raven-haired teen, currently looking very cross at something, or someone. ]

If this is some form of a joke, it isn't funny at all.

Saotome-san, if it is you, please stop fooling around and get me back to the studio.

… If it isn't Saotome-san, then whoever it is who brought me here, please return me back to my place. I still have to practice for our next performance.

[ he turns away slightly, sighing. His voice is softer now. ]

I do not want Nanami-san, Otoya and the others to worry about me. It's bad enough I made them worry before our debut…

[ooc: am I supposed to request for a tag? /forgot how this works orz]

Comments

[naicha]

Maybe? [ She laughs sheepishly. ] A lot of us don't really like the way things are run here. We can't have cars, and a lot of people die...


Oh! But it's okay, they get better!

[trollkiya]

[ The death part kinda catches him off guard. ]

... There are cases of death here?

[naicha]

It doesn't happen a lot, but. You know. There was a time when a lot of people... were punished. The gods said it was to teach them a lesson for not listening to them.

[trollkiya]

I... see.

So, in order to stay alive, so to speak, is to simply follow the rules of this place?

[naicha]

Well, it's not like they'll kill you for every wrong thing you do! That's silly.

[ There's a sad look in her eyes for a moment, but it disappears as soon as she speaks up again. ]

All you have to do right now is talk to people, anyway. That's how you give the city color. Since you're an idol, you can do that just fine!

[trollkiya]

It wouldn't be surprising if they did. I have heard stories of malicious gods who would kill just because you stepped on an ant.

[ Stop it Taiwan, you're making him blush. ]

I am not much of a people-person, to be honest. My roommate, Otoya, is much better at doing that.

[naicha]

[ yeah it's a thing that keeps happening. ]

You don't seem like a bad person, so I think you'll be okay. Um... I'm Taiwan! It's nice to meet you.

/treating this like a real dating sim

[trollkiya]

[ Blink. ]

Taiwan... as in the country, Taiwan?

don't miss the taiwan flag

[naicha]

Yeah! That's me. Is that... weird? [ She's asking if her name is weird for a country ahdkfs ]

hehehe

[trollkiya]

I've... never come across people with country names before. So are you a native of Taiwan?

[naicha]

Mhmm! [ nods ] Will you do a concert at Taiwan soon?

[trollkiya]

[ smiles ] It would depend on how famous ST☆RISH becomes. We only just graduated and had our debut a few weeks back.

Ah, I'm Tokiya Ichinose. It is nice to meet you, Taiwan-san.

[naicha]

Then I hope you get super famous so I get to see you there soon, Tokiya!

Hey, hey, do you know which house you're in?

[trollkiya]

[ slight blush oh Taiwan why are you so hopeful for him ]Thank you very much, Taiwan-san. I wish for my team to be famous outside of Japan as well.

[ He looks around, inspecting everything for some indication. ]

...Freyr House. I have the power of 'Bardic Influence'.

[naicha]

[ She is hopeful for everything. Look she's even smiling genuinely. Just accept it!! ]

So... you can sing to make other people um, feel stuff or something?

[trollkiya]

[ oh her smiles are infectious, and Tokiya smiles just a little bit wider now. ]

I can sing yes, but I do not understand how my 'power' works. I should probably test this out.

[naicha]

Well, you can sing for me. I can be your first audience in Asgard!

[trollkiya]

[ Chuckling. Because, well, he doesn't normally sing a capella for an audience, let alone sing on a whim. ]

I would be honored to, Taiwan-san.

[ and so, he takes a slight breath, sighs and prepares himself to sing. ]

Ah… reaching out to only you,
The sound of this wind… Feeling heart…

Don’t cry anymore, you’re fine as you are!
Look at the sky! Ah… My sweetest love!

[naicha]

[ Have a round of applause! ]

You're really good! No, that was great! Are you sure you've just debuted?

[trollkiya]

[ Taiwan's response was really something he wasn't used to, and he blushes even harder, shaking his head. ]

Y-yes, according to the Headmaster.

[ He's not going to tell her that he was a popular idol before he started schooling, nope. ]

[naicha]

[ It's cute, how humble he is, so she chuckles at that. ]

I don't know about it influencing me, but I guess I was more amazed than anything.

Me, I'm in the Freya house. I heard Freya and Freyr were twins or something.

[trollkiya]

Thank you again for your kind comments, Taiwan-san.

Freya house, it should be nearby if what you said about Freyr and Freya being twins is true.

[naicha]

Mm! It is. Maybe we'll even see each other. Anyway, I hope you don't run into too much trouble...

[trollkiya]

Perhaps we will sometime soon. I am planning to explore the place just to see how things are.
