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]

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.

[chainsawn]

... Oh.

[ Practically wordlessly she changes back to her normal self. ]

I think that one's actually a little cute though.. it's like teru teru bozu dolls.

[idolizer]

It looks cute if you wear it in a Halloween party, but it would become less cute in another context.

[ Especially in this context. ]

People may react badly and even attack you.

[chainsawn]

I can fight though, so.. if they'd attack me, then I could just stop them before anything bad happens.

[idolizer]

But that can be prevented if you didn't act like a stalker and creep people out in the first place. People are more friendly to those who don't creep them out. See what I mean?

[chainsawn]

[ .. a small.. and slightly hesitant nod.. ]

I think I get it. ... Life seems less fun that way, though.

[idolizer]

It may be fun for you, but not for the people involved. [ Wagging her finger knowingly. ] You should consider their feelings, too! It can't be only a one way road.

[chainsawn]

.. I am thinking of other people's feelings.. [ A little dejected. Blank-dejected, of course. It's just difficult for her to understand how social interactions or other people's feelings work at times, okay. ]

[idolizer]

[ No, don't look at her like that... She was just trying to help! ]

If you do, then think about it. Trust me, it's for the best.
