Characters: Sayaka Maizono, and youuuu.
Setting: Floor 14, Floor 10.
Format: Actionspam preferred, but I can match.
Summary: The idol tries her gifted microphone out, and visits the aquarium for the first time, looking for penguins.
Warnings: None, I think.



[ Floor 14 ]

[ Well. Sayaka is not exactly happy about it, but getting a microphone from back home was the least thing she expected after getting heavily sick. After the party, she promised herself to find some time off the training and try this thing out. Thankfully there are batteries inside, but she does realize that she shouldn't overuse them. There may not be similar batteries in the tower, and having them drain quickly would suck.

She'll stay in the media room for a little while, jamming at the music console to look for various songs that are available, not of her repertory for once. You're going to hear her beautiful voice singing this, or this, or this other. Want to listen? Take a seat or join her. ]


[ Floor 10 ]

[ Sayaka takes a deep breath, before entering the aquarium. She had talked about V/V about it, and heard that dangerous fishes lay here. At first reclutant to go alone, she then decided to get some courage and at least have a peek at it, just to see if she can find the penguins from the other time.

... And wow. She gapes in amazement, watching the water flow without the glass holding it. Is there some kind of magic holding it? Before she can hold back, she tentatively reaches out to touch the water briefly, letting her fingertips run through the surface, and then quickly retracting her hand. ]

Whoever designed this room is a genius. [ She comments to nobody in particular. If she's not alone in the room, someone might have heard it, but she'll keep watching the spectacular view while trying to stay at a safe distance. ]

Comments

[idolizer]

[ Okay, that's cute enough, but... ]

That's a penguin costume, Urotsuki-chan. It's not exactly what I asked...

[chainsawn]

I can't become a real penguin.. this is all I can. [ Blank, of course, but there might be a faaaaint edge of disappointment in there. It's difficult to find though. ]

Yuuto has a real penguin though.

[idolizer]

I'm sorry, didn't want to tell you off or anything. You still look very cute in it!

[ She may or may not have perceived the disappointment, but still, she's apologetical in her reply. ]

And who's Yuuto? A friend of yours?

[chainsawn]

My boyfriend.

[ That's easier to talk about, at least, especially since it's just a fact and since she's pretty attached to him to begin with. Totally not yandere, okay. ]

Yuuto Kidou.. He's in this tower too.

[idolizer]

[ stop playing yanderes oh my god ]

Wow, a boyfriend? [ So people can actually have boyfriends/girlfriends in such a place. That's actually interesting. ] I don't think I know a person with that name. [ This is before she meets him in the below thread. ]

[chainsawn]

[ SAYS THE PERSON WHO LOVES KUWAMAI ]

You should meet him sometime. He's very friendly too. [ Actually smiling a little at the thought of him, yes.. she just loves him a lot, okay. ] I'm sure he'll want to be your friend too.

[idolizer]

[ I SHIP THEM AS DUMB BABIES... MOSTLY... ]

If you say so, then I can't wait to meet him. Er... if I meet him. There are so many people around here. Where can I find him usually?

[chainsawn]

[ hmm.. even she has to think about that, she's too oblivious for life at times. ]

He likes playing soccer. So maybe you'll find him somewhere where there's a lot of open space..

[idolizer]

Places like the meadow in the 25th floor?

[ That's her favourite floor after the Media room, so she'd hope to meet him there... she doesn't feel up to go through dangerous places. ]

[chainsawn]

Yes, I've met up with him there before, so.. it might be a good choice. It's not too bad of a floor. [ But Urotsuki would say that about any floor, to be honest, she's so unfazed by creepy things. ]

[idolizer]

[ One day she'll give Maizono a wrong place to go and she'll end up getting eaten by monsters. :| ]

I'll need to be sure to frequent that place more often. People tend to come and go, and there are so many of us.

[chainsawn]

[ Probably. And if it isn't Maizono, then it'll be someone else.. being Urotsuki's friend is dangerous, man. ]

You can always go and wait by his room. [ stalker.... ]

[idolizer]

[ Nobody understands the poor girl :( ]

That's not an appropriate behavior now, is it?

[ No stalker stuff, she wouldn't like to creep people out, ok! Even with that bloody knife holsted under her skirt. ]

[chainsawn]

I don't think it's bad or anything. I do it a lot.

[ WITH THE MOST BLANK EXPRESSION.. totally normal to her, yup. ]

[idolizer]

... Urotsuki-chan, that's definitely not good! You shouldn't do such a thing, then people will think you're suspicious.

[ Bad girl, bad, she thought you were better than that...! ]

[chainsawn]

[ .. a-ah, she did something wrong?! It's only now that she starts looking a little more doubtful, she goes along with other people way too easily, so.. ]

S.. sorry. I didn't know it was something I wasn't supposed to do..

[idolizer]

That's a stalkerish behavior, of course people won't be okay with it. Nobody likes stalkers, didn't you know?

[ It's okay Urotsuki, there's a first time for everything. Even for learning common sense. ]

[chainsawn]

But don't people always really want to see each other? So I thought it might be fun to wait for them there, so they could see me then and we could have fun together..

[idolizer]

It would be better if you set a time to meet together. Most people just feel uncomfortable having someone wait for them without a warning!

[chainsawn]

.. But I'd like people to wait for me without a warning..

[idolizer]

Just because you like it doesn't mean that other people do.

[ She sighs. ] Look, I had many people stalk me in the past. I worked in the showbiz, and that means I had lots of fans following me around all the time, even trying to sneak into my house. I sure didn't like that at all!

[chainsawn]

.. But fans are different, right? [ blink. ] Those aren't your friends.. I think. I've never had fans before, so I can't tell whether they'd be my friends or not. But if I'd have them, I'd like them to be my friends.

[ sagenod. urotsuki logic all over. ]

[idolizer]

[ All the facepalms. All of them. ]

It doesn't matter if they're fans or friends, Urotsuki-chan! There are still people out there who would do shady things to you if you're too naive. And even if you don't intend to creep people out, it will happen if you stalk them that way. They're going to make up stories about a ghost named Urotsuki who sneaks behind people and scares them away.

[chainsawn]

[ A beat, and then it looks like she's using another effect since she looks like this. Practically like one of those tiny ghost dolls. ]

I think I might be more convincing as a ghost like this. [ NOT THE POINT.. ]

[idolizer]

[ ... Her shoulders slump a little. ]

That's not what I meant. It would be even worse if you actually went and did that.
