    Alyssa wanted to jump out of her seat and do cartwheels all over the classroom cause she had so much fun at each of the costume brands so far, but she simply made a modest reply.

    "It was really fun. I got myself a pair of new costumes."

    "Did you know that even individual idol activities are also tied to your idol type?" Misty began. "That's our topic for today."

    As was her custom, Alyssa wrote down the header and waited to write down her notes.

    "As an idol, you're going to be asked to wear many different hats besides musician, dancer, actor, comedian, model, and voice actor." Misty explained. "You'll often be asked to be a pitchperson, PR person, designer, social media guru, teacher, TV show host, ambassador, activist, and many more."

    "Sounds like a lot of nonsense to me, but I suppose those other hats do really seem interesting."

    Alyssa began taking down her usual meticulous notes.

    "But there will be some idol activities that are best suited to certain types, very much like there are brands for different types." Misty went on. "This means you probably won't see a Dreamy boy promoting a skate park, for example."

    Giggles went up at this. "That being said, a manager cannot FORCE you to do any promotion, so if something doesn't feel right about a promotion, or something in your gut says it's a bad idea, you have the right to say no." Misty continued. "Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, because forcing you to do something you have refused to do is breaking the "knowingly harm" rule of the Broadcasting Commission's safety rules for entertainers and idols--better known as Brock's Rule."

    She assured the students "Luckily, most managers will respect your wishes, but you may have to reiterate your no a few times to the more pushier ones. There's a reason why Brock's Rule is in place--to keep yourself--or your ego--from being bruised in the name of entertainment."

    "Eh, you never know, opposites do attract after all, so I wouldn't count anything out when it comes to this. The key to getting your point across to a pushy manager is power of the mind over the power of impulse. Just be sure you don't come across that one person that can actually win you over no matter how powerful your mind is. Then again, nothing ever comes easy when it comes to such activities. Gee, I should really start writing down my thoughts instead of saying them out loud."

    "A little later in the year, before we take you guys for your first variety show appearance, I'll let Brock share his story about his encounter with 'Lucky Lucky Mystery''s infamous heat chamber, and how that led to the creation of the 'knowingly harm' rule." Misty explained. "But before we can discuss what 'knowingly harm' means, it would be wise to also learn what it doesn't mean."

    Alyssa half raised her hand cause she knew knew the term all too well & knew both what it did and didn't mean. She also had a story with her experience of the term, and it would certainly send chills up everyone in the classroom, herself included.

    "Yes?" Misty spotted Alyssa's hand.

    "I...have more than enough experiences with the term. There are also two stories I'd like to share regarding it. May I, please?"

    "If you feel comfortable sharing with the class, go ahead." Misty replied.

    "I'd be more than happy to share my experiences."

    Alyssa immediately jumped into her two-sided tale. Not only did she not miss a single detail, she explained each and every one of them in meticulous detail. There were chills already going up her spine and the end had not even come yet, but when it did, the entire classroom had goosebumps. It was a really impressive tale, one nobody who heard it would forget.

    (What was Alyssa's experience with the "knowingly harm" rule?)

    (We'll need to put in some detail for this, but Alyssa was actually the victim in this one.)

    (maybe she was hit with a pie when she was not told she'd be getting messy (which is one interpretation of knowingly harm)

    (Okay, I can probably do that--a Nickelodeon-esque stunt turned up to 11.

    For the record, the Pokeworld counterpart of Nickelodeon is named KidBuzz)

    (Maybe Alyssa and Brock would share their stories (and Brock maybe sing for her)?
