Group RP Iris-shi High School Talent (Idol) Club! (IC)

Now that Robyn's already gone, Nora made her way to the music room to meet her photographer classmate, Kalino. She also texted her brother to meet up there once he's done. Why the music room? Because Kai needed a keyboard to pose with and he didn't want to lug his own one around. The three then did the photo session with different poses once the third-year among them was ready, eventually settling with these:

Spoiler: Nora alone

Spoiler: Kai alone

Spoiler: As a duo

That, and Kalino also edited the stool Nora was sitting on into a suitcase of sorts before sending the no-background photos to her. Kai then edited them into the poster drafts previously shown to the club.

Thanks to the ever-present schoolwork, the siblings' final posters were done by Saturday. Their stage name, "Han-san", was shown in their shared poster with "Big Han-san" (for Kai) and "Little Han-san" (for Nora) shown in their individual ones alongside their real names. Plus, their Ebuto accounts were slapped at the corners of their respective posters: "9thchild" at the top left corner of Nora's poster, "Kyoukai" at the bottom right corner of Kai's, and both at their respective corners of the shared one.

After getting back together with the art club to fine tune her second design, Maya's poster was ready. She made sure the art club got a generous gift (a basket of new supplies) as thanks for their help.

 

Alex and Tamal's posters also got finalized over the last few days, with the commissioned artist doing some quick alterations. Tamal also got to try on his coord (really, like Alex, it was just some combined clothes he already owned with a new piece or two) for the first time - though its jacket would be tied around his waist when he performed, for the shoot he just wore it slightly off-the-shoulder to show off the design on the back. After a few hours of communication with the artist over email, eventually everything got smoothed out, and the finalized digital copies were sent to Alex, then forwarded to Robyn.

 

Tala spend some part of the afternoon with her friends at the mall. Normally she disliked it as the weekend were hers. But her parents were nagginf about the peagant stuff so she had to get out

 

Now that the poster business was over, the siblings wrapped up any remaining homeworks that were due on Monday. And after that, game time. For Kai, it would be Stewrica because there was an update for some characters in that game. And for Nora, since she's still saving up for Poketto Violet, she decided to play Poketto Ultra Sun but limiting herself to certain mons.

(Fun fact: Nora's game of choice alludes to my own (re-)playthrough of Ultra Sun. Spoiler alert for SV-related stuff if you do check it out, though.)

In between Poketto Scarlet and Phoenix Quest Treasures (which she was having a ball looking for scrolls, manuals and artifacts and completely forgetting about the main story of the Phoenix Pearls), Maya did take a break from gaming to catch a movie at the local theater. "The Sword of Light and the Shadow Dragon" looked exciting, and the history buff in her wondered how accurate the movie would be to what she knew of Marth's adventure from history class.

 

Since his unorthodox debut in the middle of the term, Tamal had garnered a little attention from his peers, which did cheer up his day whenever he came by a friendly face or two. Even some of Tala's jock friends - seeing potential in his speed and evasive manoeuvers at the mazesoba house incident - tried to recruit him for a sports team or two, though he turned down their offers.

As for Alex, though it took a little time for the initial shock of "yeah he's at my school now and he's also in this club I'm in now I guess" to wear off, she soon found his company a good break from all her probing classmates.

Although Tamal's presence garnered attention, he was able to keep the spotlight on himself, and even drew away nosy classmates from her - a feat she would forever be grateful for. He'd even taken some of the matchmakers in stride once they'd noticed their duo name "Polygonal" as a subtitle on their posters, just beneath their stage names "Ch1ptune" and "Rising Star Capella". "Me? With Empress Nerd the 46th, Lady of the Laboratory? Ha! You're kidding."

The thoughts came back to her on that Thursday as the two of them exchanged an actually-successful-with-no-facial-injury high-five on the way to the meeting. Sure, she did join the club with the knowledge that she should make a new friend or two, but Alexa couldn't help but thank the higher forces that he was there as well.

 

Tala felt being watched as she quickly duggef behind every place she could.
Tuesday she was happy school was done as she quickly went to the place where the club was meeting..noticinf she was the first one to arrive

 

Unlike Alex, the lack of Kai's presence (spoiler: he's in another classroom) means that Nora would need to tread the wave of fame on her own. She did see how her brother dealt with this kind of stuff -- as a member of both talent-idol and drama clubs -- and learn from there. That, and she was lucky that some of her classmates, including Kalino, could give her some slack.

Unfortunately, Tala ended up coming to the wrong club simply because she got the meeting day wrong. Kai was there, yes, and so did the rest of the drama club. "Yo, Tala," he waved to the girl with a wide grin as soon as he noticed her. "Wanna join the drama club?" he asked in case Tala would want to pull a Tamal right there.

(Friendly reminder: The talent-idol club's meeting won't happen until Thursday. Since player-Tala mentioned Tuesday instead of Thursday, I'm not sorry for the "wrong club" situation here. Also, since I mentioned the drama club, it is up to @WavePearl for whether Maya's there on that particular day.)

 

@SAF

(If both meetings are on the same day, Maya will prioritize the talent-idol club for story's sake. The teacher in charge of the drama club is aware Maya can't be in two places at once

If the two clubs are on different days, Maya is present for both meetings.)

 

(Actually, since Tala got the meeting day wrong, the meetings occured on different days: drama club on Tuesday, talent-idol club on Thursday.)

 

@SAF

(Okay, so Maya is there for both club meetings.)

 

(Uh I oke. I didnt notice until now so yeah reason why I was confused at discord. There is a big possibility that I read to fast since I try to reply at work , or else ya all need to wait for me. But fine I shall be and do something)

Tala shock her head and was actually more hiding for others since her group had to do different stuff. "Look all I want to do is hide"

 

(A very brief one at that. Hopefully.

And yes, Kai's still keeping up with that. )

So now Kai only could sigh at Tala's desperation to get away from the (perceived?) unwanted attention. This, in turn, caught the drama club leader's attention. "Oh? Is that your friend, Kai?" said leader, Emma, asked, to which Kai awkwardly nodded. "Dunno what she needs to hide from, but--" his attempt of giving excuses was cut off by Emma's "Come in, come in~" to Tala. "We're still open for new members if you wanna join. But if you don't, we'll pretend you're not here, okay?" Judging from her words, it was clear that she'd already heard of Tala's current predicament.

But still, both Kai and Tala really should be grateful that Tamal somehow managed to draw most (if not all) of the spotlight on himself and keep it away from the other members of the talent-idol club for now.

(Like Robyn, Emma Shiino-Altair is a third-year donning Plegia City School uniform, effectively making her a transfer student from there. Her red twin tails aren't as big as Lissa's or Robyn's (or even Severa's, for that matter).

That said, I'm ready to skip to Thursday. Sorry for the holdup, people.)

 

@SAF

(What's the tl,dr version of the drama club meeting?)
