idolpro | ☆ your hibiki wataru's amazing (♫ ideal ♫) world ☆ (3)

Welcome!

The OPENING is where to start, but there are a couple things to note.

Your characters will find that their powers only work near the end. I'll let you know when powers will start to work! Characters will be given both a mask and a lightstick—if you try to get rid of either, they will be replaced within a second. They will also have whatever items they brought in with them.

Secondly, this will be ICly apparent fairly easily and also very early, but your character will be able to find many different characters. I won't be able to NPC them all so we might get a little vague!! You are free, and a little encouraged, to go look around.

Characters will be told ICly in the OPENING what they need to do, but they won't be told about how things will sometimes feel wrong. This will be a sudden, very noticeable feeling, in red! Generally, what they need to is get Wataru to say goodbye. Having him willingly leave will work too, but that's the better outcome. This will be ICly known once you're out of the opening area.

Also there is a sense of urgency ICly with regard to timing, but don't worry about that OOCly!

Finally, tags are going to come from both stagename and regale don't worry about it.

[ that all lines up. she did think she recognized the song.

if there's only about half an hour remaining, she'll hang back and listen, she thinks - so she'll go for some tea before settling down in a seat. ]

[ As she has some tea, a black haired boy comes up from the same place she did and looks around before approaching her. ]

Hey. You're one of the newest arrivals, aren't you?

Oh - that's right. It's nice to meet you! I'm Aradia!

[ Nodding to her. ]

I'm Hidaka Hokuto. Are you here to watch the performance?

Mm. My -

[ hm? ]

Well ... he's a familiar of mine, and a teammate, but I wonder if we're something that could be called friends too...? But he's part of the unit that's performing right now, so I wanted to stay and support him!

If it's that guy, he probably considers you to be friends.

[ A... what. ]

You can hear it pretty well here, I guess. If you're supporting him, you should be using that thing.

[ He's pointing at her light stick. ]

This?

How do I use it?

There's a button you can turn it on with. Then, on the side there's a slider. You can use that to choose what colour you want it to glow.

Oh -

Is his color blue...?

Yeah, a pastel blue.

[ immediately turning the penlight on and going straight to wataru's color she's got this now ]

Then - it's a light, so I should wave it, shouldn't I? That way, he'll be able to see he's being supported even though he's far away ...

Is that how it works?

[ Oh god he feels so tired. It's like this poor NPC is also realizing what should be done.

He's digging into his pocket and pulling out a similar light stick. ]

Yeah, you wave it up like this. [ Waving it in a wide arc above his head. ] That guy has big ears and big eyes [ what ] so he'll see it.

... But his ears are a standard size, aren't they? Well, it's true that I haven't looked that closely yet ...

[ waving it above her head a bit, tentatively ]

No, they're horrible.

[ Reaching over to like. Make her move her arm a bit more intently. ]

That isn't true, is it? Everything about Wataru is nice, right?

[ waving more intently, guided by his hand! ]

No, he's definitely the worst.

[ It's deadpan but... ]

But being the worst person in the world isn't always the worst thing. I feel quite close to him, even if I wish I could kill him off some days.

Hokuto...

Are you what they call... um, another familiar used the word once, and I think there was someone else that said it recently too, but it took me a long time to remember... it's called being "tsundere," isn't it?

[ . ]

I don't have a clue what you're talking about. Stop speaking nonsense and just cheer him on already.

[ He's shook. Leave him alone. ]

[ while vigorously waving her arm, penlight in hand - ]

Oh, it's -

A "tsundere," if that's the word that I'm thinking of... I thought that it was a media term, but it's true that it doesn't mean that you would know what it meant just because it shows up in stories, right...? I'm not really sure either, but I can try to explain, okay? Don't worry -

[ after cheering for a moment. anyway, ]

- When someone loves another person ... um, it can be any kind of love, since there are a lot of different sorts, but when someone has those sorts of feelings for another person ...

[ waving some more, ]

... But it's difficult for them to express those emotions, and they end up covered up by being aloof, or saying that they aren't interested or dislike them, even when that isn't true, or when they're always being kind to them or saying nice things -

[ and switching it to her other hand to wave more, ]

- And things like that... That's called being "tsundere," I think!

That's the sort of behavior that you've been exhibiting, right...?

Never mind. I don't want to hear anymore, Powerful Aradia. I might die if you say even one more word.

- Please don't die!

I'm definitely about to die, so you should carry on. The club leader is waiting on the other side of this somewhere.

Hokuto -

Um - it's okay! We can go and see him together, so you don't have to die, okay...? Do you need anything...?!

[ this is the end. he really sees the light at the end of the tunnel here. ]

I'm not going to die if I don't see him...
