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?

[ s-sob, yes ]

I had no idea that anyone could bring something so big with them... were you playing before you came?

[shortcakes]

I was sleeping! [while hugging it, but you don't know that shhh]

[Video]

[sora_wo_koete]

You didn't have your guitar with you at the time... and it still came with you?

[ And Chihaya's thinking of how lucky Yui is! little does she know ]

[Video]

[shortcakes]

Oh, I did!

[Video]

[sora_wo_koete]

You did? But- you were sleeping...?

[Video]

[shortcakes]

Un. [clearly nothing is wrong with this]

[Video]

[sora_wo_koete]

... you sleep with your guitar.

[ SHE'S HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS ]

[shortcakes]

Un. [still nothing wrong with this]

[sora_wo_koete]

[ O-OKAY she needs to stop repeating herself ]

Is this a... normal thing for you?

Un, I sleep with Giita, dress him up, pose in the mirror with him, take photos of him, and also have him at the table during meals~

[sora_wo_koete]

I think I get the idea- Hirasawa-san, was it?

[ She opens her mouth. Then she closes it again. And then, after sighing quietly- ]

Are you... really eighteen...?

[shortcakes]

Un~ But just Yui is fine!

And going nineteen! Why? [well. you know what they say about not growing up despite growing old]

[sora_wo_koete]

No reason.

[ "Because you act twelve"... p-probably isn't quite the tactful thing to say ;u; ]

But you DO play it, right...? [ Chihaya would probably cry if Yui had gotten that thing as a toy ]

[shortcakes]

Un, I was in the Light Music Club at high school! The five of us in the club together, our band was called Afterschool Tea Time!

[sora_wo_koete]

Oh...! You were in a band? [ And now she's imagining five Yuis on different instruments ]

If you don't mind me asking- what kinds of songs did you cover?

[shortcakes]

Uh huh!

Cover? What are those? We wrote our own songs.

[sora_wo_koete]

Covers of existing-

[ Chihaya blinks. W-WHY IS THIS GIRL NOTHING BUT SURPRISES ]

You do? That's... really something.

[shortcakes]

[because she's awesome despite being a huge derp]

Isn't it? We always got the school pumped up with our performnces!

Ne, ne, what's your name?

[sora_wo_koete]

[ Being a derp is totally part of why she's awesome- i-i mean, Chihaya nods, seeming satisfied (?) with her answer ]

... I'd love to hear you play sometime, Yui. I'm Chihaya Kisaragi; it's nice to meet you.

oops.

[shortcakes]

[ true dat. now app someone from K-ON, share in the derp-awesomeness :| ]

Un! I just need to find an amp first, Chiya-chan~!

o/

[sora_wo_koete]

[ fff who would i even app- ]

I'll look forward to it... given this place, I'm sure one will pop up SOMEhow. [ It wouldn't surprise her at ALL- ]

[shortcakes]

[m-maybe Mio? /all the hopefuls]

Un, I think I'll go look around the music stores though! [if there are even any...]

[sora_wo_koete]

[ i'll have to watch the series again and also the second season... ]

The theater here has a lot of equipment... if you haven't been there yet, I can look for an amp with you, if you'd like.

[shortcakes]

[oh... i can wait! the problem is if you have the time to watch all that...]

Oh! Sure, thanks!

[sora_wo_koete]

[ s-sobbing... WE'LL FIND OUT ]

[ Chihaya gives her a small smile. ]

It's no problem at all. Please don't hesitate to call me if or when you'd like to go.
