FIRST ♥ VIDEO / ACTION FOR NEW BARK

[amiroll]

[Is Johto ready? Because there are two ladies on the gear today, situated in a very familiar place. The first girl, a young brunette, is staring down into the camera. She’s figured it out already. The second girl sits behind her on the porch of mom’s house, staring down at her own Pokégear. She has blue hair, and she presses a button every ten seconds or so, very slowly. She has no idea how it works. She’s the first to speak up.]

Are you sure this is a telephone, Futami-san?

Ne, Chihaya-oneechan! Ami knows it’s a phone, and more! It’s the key to our success!

[Chihaya stares down at her gear some more, then slowly looks up at Ami.] The key...? Is this supposed to unlock something, too? [Ami does a sagelike nod, as if she had all the answers already. In truth, she’s pretty much just improvising.] It’s our main menu! It’s necessary on our epic travels. Without it, how will we get cute alternate outfits?

What are you talking about...? [Her voice trails off as she reaches for her bag. Resting on top of it is a ridiculous pink raincoat. It doesn’t look like something Chihaya would usually wear.] Are you talking about this? [There are even boots.]

Ufufufu~ Of course that’s what Ami’s talking about! [Actually, it just kind of worked out conveniently.] Take a look at Ami’s! Super Sexy Style! [Ami fumbles into her own bag, whipping out a children’s play outfit, complete with a yellow hardhat.] E-Eh?! This isn’t sexy at all!

[Chihaya can’t help but snicker a little at that, quietly. Behind her hand.] I don’t think either of these outfits are very suitable, Futami-san...

No fair! Now Ami looks unsexy for the camera![Ami places her hands to her head, shaking it around indignantly.]

[Wait, what. Chihaya looks up at her, a bit horrified.] E-eh? Your phone is filming, Futami-san? P-please, turn it off! Does this thing even have a camera in it...?

Geez, Chihaya-oneechan, Ami didn’t know you were so bashful! It makes me wonder how you’ll react when you find the camera in your dressing room.. [And, with a mischievous cackle and one more horrified look from Chihaya, the feed ends. The cackle, however, lives on forever into eternity. ...Of course, the cackle might nearby for some. Ami and Chihaya are in New Bark Town. Ami can be found exploring the area around Chihaya with her Mime Jr., whereas Chihaya can be found seated in one place, trying to figure out her Pokégear while a Minun sleeps on her lap.. She’s not going to ask for help, but both are free to be bothered!]

[Oh, familiar faces and voices. Ryo doesn't know whether to be relieved or worried that more idols from his world were here.]

Ah! Chihaya-san, you're here too? So is... Ami Futami-chan, is it?

video.

[nemurihime]

[Okay. Replying. Chihaya can do this. Mostly because Ami turned on her video function for her. Even then, though, she's holding the gear as far from her face as possible, thinking that might be the best view.]

It seems so, yes. Wherever here is. What do you mean by "too," Akizuki-san?

video.

[amiroll]

Futami, Ami, reporting for duty, Cap'n!

[ salute! ]

Hm.. Ami's intuition tells her you're Ryo! Ricchan's cousin!

action;

[femininity]

[ makoto has yet to leave new bark herself, wanting to get a bit more situated before venturing forth. which turns out to have been a good idea when she spots some familiar faces! ]

Oi, Chihaya! Ami! [ she lets out a wave as she calls out to them, hurrying in their direction.

nothing has really occurred to her yet, other than just the fact that she's happy to see the both of them. ]

[nemurihime]

[Oh thank Aoi Tori, someone she doesn't have to use the gear to talk to— Chihaya would recognize that voice anywhere. She sets down her gear and turns to see Makoto waving at her, so she's just going to stand up, gently setting her sleepy Minun aside.

...Honestly, she's not sure what to think of all of this yet.]

Kikuchi-san! You're here as well?

[Even if it's obvious. This video game world stuff is all new to Chihaya.]

action;

[amiroll]

[ From far away, Makoto can probably detect Ami raising her hand to her mouth and whispering something into it.

In truth, she was making a buzz sound, as if she were turning on a walkie talkie. ]

Pilot Ami reporting, pilot Ami reporting. We've got a wild one.

[ Kou-kun, her Mime Jr., looks up to her, than to the strange person running towards them. ] 180 Degrees. Aiming. Aiming. And-- Fire!

[ Kou-kun, in a panic, assumes Makoto is some form of assailant! Rushing forward, he quickly uses the first attack he knows - Tickle - on the mysterious attacker. He tosses his stubby arms forward, waving them around in a cyclic motion. ]

[tobeyourhero]

Kuhahaha! And another interesting pair arrives! I'm so excited that I'm going to do a backflip!

[Video]

[nemurihime]

[Oh, this is someone she doesn't know. She's holding her gear at an awkward angle because she doesn't know how to film herself, but she can at least try to be social.]

Another interesting pair? Does this happen frequently? [She doesn't think she and Ami are anything that extraordinary.] Are you sure that's a good idea?

[Video]

[amiroll]

Not if Ami does one first!

[thewhite_symphony]

Ara ... [ New people? ]

Are you two in trouble?

video; kya~ ♥

[nemurihime]

I think we're doing as well as we can. Futami-san seems to know about everything that's going on.

[Because Ami is genre savvy, the lucky girl.]

video;

[amiroll]

Quick! We're trapped in a castle! Save us, O Peach Haired One!

[Video]

[subtlecoruscate]

[Oh...more new arrivals. There sure are a lot of cheerful ones today...with odd priorities too...]

You can just buy nicer clothes.

[Video]

[amiroll]

Where's the nearest department store? Hurry, sudden death! Tick, tock, tick..

[ cute clothes are VITALLY IMPORTANT ]

[Video]

[nemurihime]

I'm just looking to buy more normal clothes, if I'm going to be here for a while.

[Video]

[10yen_idol]

[ O-OH... those are voices that Yayoi hasn't heard in a long, long time ]

[ Don't mind her, she's just staring at the screen, looking like a beached fish ] A... Ami? Chihaya-san...?

[Video]

[amiroll]

Ah! Yayoicchi's here, too!

[ Yes. This pleases Ami. ]

Where's Yayoicchi hiding? Behind.. this tree?! [ She hops behind it, only to find.. no Yayoi.. Oh. ] Oh my! Ami never knew Yayoicchi was so skilled at hide and seek!

[Video]

[nemurihime]

Takatsuki-san? Is that you?

[...Don't mind Chihaya, she has her gear pointed towards the ground. What do these buttons do...]

[video]

[idlewanderlust]

My... I'm sure if you tried them on, you could both find a way to make them work...

[video]

[amiroll]

That's easy for you to say, Azusa-oneechan! Your developed ba-ba-booms easily fill out any outfit!

[video]

[nemurihime]

Hello, Azusa-san. [She's borrowing Ami's gear this time, because she got frustrated with her own. She's still going through her bag.

...Also, Azusa being here is good. Yes.] It's really not something I'm worrying about, but...why do we have these clothes in the first place? [Or bright pink umbrella, in Chihaya's case. Sigh.]

[voice]

[fonic_sight]

If I'm not mistaken, it'd be rather inappropriate to set a camera in another person's dressing room, would it not?

video.

[amiroll]

It'd be more inappropriate to not give Chihaya-oneechan's fans what they wanted, super raw footage!

[voice]

[nemurihime]

[Oh god, that's. That's not something she wants to talk about.]

I can assure you that Futami-san is only joking. I don't think she'd ever do such a thing. [Or so she's telling herself.]

video;

[honeygatherer]

[ Even more of her friends are starting to show up here. Yippee! Miki's calm as she watches the scene, adding a laugh at the very end. ]

Miki thinks you should get over being camera shy. [ Hee. ] It won't be good if you get anxious so easily!

[ Laughing, she'll bring up a hand to wave. ]

Miki's so happy to see more of Miki's friends here!

video;

[nemurihime]

[Once again, how does Chihaya camera phone? This time, she's set it up on a fence so that the surface is at least flat...but she's sitting way too close to it. It zooms in right on her neck.]

I think it's different when you know you're being filmed, though, Miki-san...[She's smiling a little. Not that it can be seen.] There's a lot of us here, isn't there?
