chapter 1 - section A: introduction to chords

[shortcakes]

[Having gotten over the initial freak-out upon arriving, (her quick recovery was possibly due to the fact that she has her guitar with her here...!) her expression when the feed begins is something of a forced smile, being a little unsure about all of this...]

Hello, everyone...! [... but as she speaks, she seems to regain some confidence and enthusiasm. It's just like talking to a whole crowd of strangers during her gigs in school, after all!]

I'm Yui Hirasawa! I am going to be nineteen this year, and I've just graduated from high school! [why does this sound so much like a self-introduction in class...] My hobbies are playing Giita over here, [she brings her Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul up for everyone to see~] eating sweets, and bumming around! [... did she just say 'bumming around' was her hobby?!]

So um...! How are we supposed to bring color and life to this place?

[shortcakes]

Maybe we can even do a duet!

[sora_wo_koete]

Hm? Yui, you sing as well?

[shortcakes]

Un! I think Mio-chan sings better, but she's too shy to sing most of the time!

[sora_wo_koete]

Really? Well, that sort of thing takes time to overcome. I was like that when I was younger, too.

[ In front of huge live audiences, at least. ]

[shortcakes]

She's always shy about everything, though!

There was one time she tripped on a mic wire after singing, and everyone could see her panties!

[sora_wo_koete]

[ ... YUI, WHAT ]

That would make ANYONE shy-!

[shortcakes]

It would? But it's a girls' school, you know. I'd be okay with it!

[sora_wo_koete]

If she was already shy in the first place, that wouldn't help too much!!

[shortcakes]

Oh, yeah. Mio's always really shy. Another time, we went to work at a maid café together to train her!

[sora_wo_koete]

[ o-oh my god that poor girl ]

... how did that go...?

[shortcakes]

She got a little braver after it!

[sora_wo_koete]

That's good... I think? -- ah!

[ Chihaya finishes rummaging among the practice room's equipment and gestures towards Yui. ]

Do you think this amp will work with your guitar?

[shortcakes]

Ohh! I think so! It looks like the ones we have in the clubroom!

[too bad she didn't bring Giita along today!]

[sora_wo_koete]

[ oh... she's just realizing that, too. ]

... it might have been easier if I'd asked you to bring your guitar, but if it's about the same...

[shortcakes]

Ah, right! I forgot to bring Giita with me!

[sora_wo_koete]

... Yui, if you want, I can wait here while you go get it. It might be better to check and see if it works with this equipment, after all.

[shortcakes]

Oh, it's okay! I'm sure it'll be fine. [it's too cold out for her to want to venture back out again for a bit]

[now to just laze around on one of the seats for a little...]

[sora_wo_koete]

Alright, if you say so.

[ Chihaya doesn't notice that Yui's sat down- she's still looking through some of the equipment, marveling that this city manages to HAVE things like these. ]

[shortcakes]

Mm~

[lying down and rolling about a little on the seat now (they're more like cushions then anything, probably...)]

I wonder if that have manga here?~ [unfortunately, this airhead here has other priorities...]

[sora_wo_koete]

Maybe in the library-

[ Wait, what? -- Chihaya turns and blinks at Yui ]

Manga?

[shortcakes]

Yeah. Do you think they have manga in the library?

[this be a girl that reads it for the fun of it~]

[sora_wo_koete]

Um... maybe? I'd never gone to this place's library to look for manga, though.

[shortcakes]

Oh. I'll just go take a look sometime then~

Ne, ne. Chiya-chan, you're in high school too, right?

[sora_wo_koete]

I am. Why do you ask?

[shortcakes]

Well, maybe you can sing for our band instead! It's a little sad without the others, but since Ritsu's here, we can always form a 3-person band for now!
