    Nora Hansen For several days after the promotional video was uploaded to Ebuto, all of Nora's classmates unanimously made her as the class' celebrity. It's all thanks to said class' gossipy chatterbox who managed to figure out who that violin girl from the video was. Took Nora awhile to get used to it because unlike the online flattery in her own Ebuto account (she went by "9thchild" there), the violinist girl didn't expect to get some real life flattery as well.

    Kai Hansen Between classes, homeworks, study sessions, club things (he also had a drama club to take care of), and piano practice (now that he had shown that part of him to the world), Kai occasionally checked the promotional video out. One of the comments that got his attention was the “Let’s pick our OTPs lol” one. Not wanting any potentially weird rumors (e.g. incest shipping) to spread, he replied, "Ship all you want, but the violin girl is off-limits -- she's the camera/piano guy's sister" under the alias Kyoukai -- his own Ebuto account. To be fair though, Kai did the commenting before the individual videos came out, hence the "ooh siblings performing together at the same club?!" comment in his and Nora's video.

    Fast forward to the weekend, Kai felt somewhat confident to upload his solo piano video to Ebuto after some contemplation. Unlike other piano videos though, he juxtaposed his own with Nora's best gameplay of the same song in Arkea (which was actually Nora's idea, by the way). Why, the siblings themselves were delightfully surprised upon finding out that Kai's piano playing somehow had its tempo matching the in-game song.

    Day after day of schooling later, Friday finally came. This time, the club meeting was at the school field, so there's no point of Kai lugging his keyboard there. Why? Because unlike Nora's violin, Kai's keyboard needed an electric socket (which wasn't even available in the middle of the school field) to operate. Plus, should he actually need a keyboard, he might want to borrow one from the music room -- if possible.

    Speaking of the club meeting though, seems like the Hansen siblings would be a bit tardy this time. Some upperclassmen had catcalled Nora on her way to the school field and that was enough to give her quite a bad time. Made even worse when Kai came to comfort the shaky Nora and the catcallers tried to ship the heck out of those two... only for the older brother to ask if they were suggesting an incest relationship or something ("Oh? You do know it's called incest, right?"). Cue uncomfortable awkwardness on the catcallers' part (they were expecting Kai to blush and/or frantically claim that he and Nora were just friends instead of outright calling it incest) which the siblings used to hasten straight to the school field.

    (First, Arkea = Arcaea. Second, sorry if the last bit is too... triggering.)

    Tala turned to hear some voices seeing Nora sudden sad. She walked over. "Are you okqy? Is someone bothering you" seeing they were leaving already still she wasnt a fan of bulliying. "Look, I can talk to them if you want. " as she winked. "Got enough friends who can beat.. uh I mean help you"

    Still huddling in Kai's embrace, Nora looked up to Tala. "I- I'm okay..." she (Nora) tried to assure her (Tala) in spite of her (Nora's) still shaky voice. "Nii-chan got that part covered, actually." Kai simply nodded at this. "Really though, they need to get their facts straight. Trying to ship us like that is a bit..." he shook his head in disbelief. Then again, the bullies probably didn't know that their shipping targets were actually siblings.

    (Hmm... a certain gossipy chatterbox? Sounds like a familiar redhead who can't keep her mouth shut... And ah, Arkea, eh? Added that to the counterparts)

    Robyn greeted Alex when she arrived. Realising that she had arrived in the school PE uniform, Robyn quickly went to stare at her programme for today and at her email. Oh gosh. She didn't tell anyone that they would be working out today! She would have to mention that once everyone had gathered. For today, it was promotions review, maybe some music, venues, and the workout. Robyn looked at her own appearance - which was still the regular school uniform. She had done enough running in this outfit last year when she was out saving the world and was used to running in this. However it probably would come across to her peers as strange. So she might have to swap clothes herself.

    Now that she thought of it, if the viewers were thinking about OTPs, did that mean that they were into shipping people like Robyn did? She shuddered. Wait. What if they shipped the siblings...? Nonononono! That would be as bad as shipping the prince and princess! Though everyone knew who they were, so that wasn't happening. She pulled up the video to check out the comments... Oh Naga, it seemed that there was a shipping war going already, and that someone was replying to comments that Nora and Kai were in fact related. Hmm. This user 'Kyoukai' seemed to know who they were, personally.

    @ChocoChicken @PirateCaptain @WavePearl @SAF

    School Field By the time Nora and Kai arrived, to which it looked like Nora was clinging onto Kai for dear life, even Robyn was concerned. Thankfully, Tala had addressed her concerns already (waitwaitwait, did Robyn hear that Tala would beat up people?!). "Good thing you have a big brother who's there for you! I envy you," she said, and then giggled nervously. "I... I suppose that comes with any fandom. Fans will ship the heck out of anyone. On the plus side, seems we might have fans." In the back of Robyn's mind, she too was trying to think of her own OTPs, but certainly not of siblings. "But hey, since you're siblings, maybe people might think of you as the school's version of the Kagamine twins. Oh! That reminds me..."

    Robyn ran back to her bag to grab the strawberry crepe and the apple tea carton. "Happy belated, Nora-chan! Hope you like strawberries!" Robyn passed the snacks to her, hoping they would brighten her mood.
    Conference Room Maribelle and Brady visited the conference room assuming that the school talent/idol club would be there, but it was not to be found. Instead, they found Robin there, who explained that Robyn was out in the school field. So Maribelle and Brady went to check out what was going on.

    Once sure she was tuned, Maya set her guitar back in its case long enough to peruse gaming news on her phone. There had been rumors in the Phoenix Quest community that a Phoenix Quest IX was due to be announced soon. While she was nowhere near the end of VIII (because Maya was a completionist and wanted to max out all the different martial arts and try out the millions of classic and new moves in battle), she was intrigued at what a ninth game would bring. If the rumors were true, Phoenix Quest IX would be the biggest Phoenix Quest game yet.

    The thought of having a huge fanbase behind them made Alex shiver a little inside. Sure, she didn't have stage fright like Tala did, but she was only fifteen after all - she didn't want to deal with the paparazzi on her front door. Or a rabid shipping fanbase. Her class had thankfully just kind of had a few people ask her if she was in the club, or tell her they were looking forwards to her performance. She kept her thoughts to herself with a smile at Nora as the belated birthday girl was handed the crepe.

    That was when a second reality hit her. She had FORGOTTEN TO GET NORA A GIFT. She didn't vocalize that thought either, for a different reason, and made a mental note to stop by a department store somewhere between studies to pick up something for the other girl and hand it to her the week after, even if it was going to be awkward.

    "Alright. Just let me know if they bother you again" she smiled. As she turned to the rest of the group. "Ah my classes were very boring so im glad im here. What are we going to do?" Seeing one of them wearing a pe outfit. "Are we supposed to run? Had already PE but guess I can still get my uniform" she said. Texting someone to get her outfit for PE out of her locker.
    Who in seconds ran over to Tala to giv3 it to her. "Thanks" she smiled as he hugged her.

    "Alright alright. I see you tomorrow" She chuckled.

    (I wasn't naming names when I wrote the "gossipy chatterbox" part. But if you want it to be her, I can roll with that. Also, I love how @WavePearl had Maya ignore the whole convo for something entirely different. :sweat:)

    Oh? What's this? Some get-well snacks from Robyn? With the sweet-and-slightly-tart taste of strawberry? That was a big yes for Nora. She gratefully accepted the snack Robyn had offered ("Thanks, Robyn-senpai,") and immediately munched on the crepe. This, in turn, eased Kai up a little.

    Looking around, the other girls were already there before the siblings. Maya, for one, seemed to be blissfully unaware of the club's earlier convo about Nora's concern. Alex was already in her PE uniform, and looks like Tala got someone to fetch hers. With two out of them having their PE uniforms ready and today's club meeting happening at the school field...

    Wait a minute. Were they going to do a workout or something? I mean, what was this, a sport club?

    Oh no... panic ensued on Kai's part as the realization dawned on him. If he remembered it right, neither he nor Nora had their PE classes on Fridays. That, and the fact that Robyn hadn't said anything about the upcoming agendas in the email didn't help either. What to do...?

    (Quick question: How old is Brady here?)

    Maya stashed her phone away in time to notice some members were getting out their gym clothes. I'd better go back and get my gym clothes...

    Luckily, her locker and the changing rooms were not far from the field...

    @122 Generation

    (what do the school gym clothes basically look like? Are there school bathing suits (and swim trunks) too?)

    (Haha, no need for it to be her. That's enough trouble on its own. Also, Brady will be about seven years old, as will be Morgan, Lucina, etc.)
    (I haven't designed any gym clothes - but I definitely could that I could put in the OOC thread. At its very basic the gym clothes consist of a track jacket and sweats. Also for school swimsuits... We can assume there are, even though the school doesn't have a pool)

    @PirateCaptain @ChocoChicken

    Extremely glad that she had managed to lift up Nora's mood (and almost forgetting in the process that Robyn was an upperclassman relative to the girl), Robyn called the meeting to order. "Looks like we're all here! Okay! Let's get started! Today, we have at least two things to do! First, we review the success of our promotional videos, and then... we decide on a venue for our first performance! Now, after that, we're going to do a workout! School talent (and idols) can't function if they don't get their fill of exercise! Um... Right, I forgot to mention to bring your PE uniforms eh? No problem, I'll just get my friends at the Shepherds to bring some..."

    She first brought out her phone to text whoever was nearby to bring the clothes. After that was sent, she checked the video on Ebuto. Meanwhile, just across the field, Maribelle and Brady watched Robyn enthusiastically lead her school club. That made Maribelle scoff. Then she got the notification from Robyn on her Shepherds group chat that she needed PE uniforms. Maribelle rolled her eyes. "Come, Brady. Let's help Robyn-chan out." So they went off to the administration to see if they could find any.

    Back to Robyn, she reviewed the video on Ebuto. "Let's see... Two thousand views and counting! What did you think of it? Looks like we're getting our names out there!" In the back of her mind, Robyn sweated a little at the thought of the comments. Hopefully, that wasn't another storm she was going to wade into. "Any thoughts about it?"

    A workout? It seemed like Alex's overthinking of her uniform paid off. And their first performance coming up so soon... Alexa made a note to ask more about the details later. For now, it seemed their video had done quite well.

    "That's a lot higher than I expected!" Her surprise was genuine - even at her old school her club was generally smaller-scale. They'd garnered this much attention this fast? Alex herself hadn't even sang a single note yet! She supposed that with the first performance coming up she'd definitely have to start pulling her weight - so far the other girls and Kai had been doing most of the heavy lifting when it came to garnering attention. Well, she was certainly up for the challenge - it was the moment she'd been waiting for.

    Tala smile drop when she heard work out. "Come on we had PE this morning" she said stretching a little. Between the snacks and all she quickly had changed her outfit. And one of her friends carried her uniform whilr watching from a distant.

    "Wait what video. " she wondered.

    (What I think is funny is that no one wonders why everyone carries stuff for her and does so many other things)

    As I thought, Kai mentally mused while the meeting agenda caught Nora off guard. "But nii-chan and I didn't have PE today..." the younger brunette lamented. Some physical workout might do good for brass and woodwind players because it mainly helps with their lung capacities, but this? They didn't even have any brass and/or woodwind players in the club, so what's the point?

    This, though, was quite a pleasant surprise. "Honestly? News do spread fast, it seems," even Kai, the man behind user "Kyoukai", was impressed. I mean, 2000 views in the span of a week or so was quite a feat on its own right.

    "Uh... didn't you watch it?" now it's Nora's turn to wonder about whatever Tala had missed out. "Your own singing part, I mean?"

    "I don't know who recorded that one, though," Kai quickly clarified in case Tala might accuse him for some reason. "Nora and I did our part after you left, then went home after that. We didn't even go to the mall."

    W..w..wait, so someone recorded a video of me singing." She tried to stay focus. And stumbled over songs.
    "I am not active on ebito. I only use (instagram) i got lots of followers for some unknown reason" she sighed. "Well seems the world knows now im a bad singer."

    "Oh, really?" Kai fished his phone out from his trousers' pocket, opened Tala's individual video on Ebuto, and passed it to Tala with a "Then how would you explain this?" By "this", he meant the comments in that video:
    "If I remember it right, someone said you have the voice of Naga in the main video's comment. How can that be bad?" Nora innocently added as she failed to understand Tala's self-deprecation.

    (Trying to think of an instagram equivalent…)

    @SAF @ChocoChicken @WavePearl @PirateCaptain

    Robyn froze, her face clearly trying to hide she was nervous. She had forgotten that she didn’t record Tala and it was in fact Robin who did that for her. “Um… Right. It wasn’t in Amatsu Park, after all. Uh… you see, a friend of mine saw her and decided to shoot a video. On the plus side, seems like a lot of viewers like her voice!”

    She turned to Tala. “Come now, Tala-chan! This was the point of the promotional videos! Now, you were only featured in the group video, but maybe someday you’ll get your standalone.” She noted the comments which pointed out Tala might have stage fright, but she elected not to say it. Instead, she pointed out, “As Nora-chan puts it, you have a great voice! Maybe one day, when we perform. On the whole, glad that everything turned out well! Maybe our popularity will shoot upward after!” Robyn said, enthusiastic.

    “Now then, we should brainstorm some places to perform! Some place to show off talent.”

    It didn’t take long before Maribelle and Brady arrived at the field, reluctantly, with the set of spare PE clothes. They placed them down on the field to see what Robyn and her club were up to.

    "There's always the school theater..." Maya suggested as she arrived from the girls' changing room, now in her gym clothes. "I'm sure the drama teacher, the choir director, and the band director, and the different ensemble directors would let us."

    Robyn giggled when Maya appeared in her PE uniform. "R-right. The drama club does make use of the stages at the gym, after all." She looked at the field around her. "The school field is an option too, though I wonder if the owners at the convenience store might be annoyed."

    The convenience store was across the street in sight of the field. Students tended to frequent that store after school.

    (Adding a theatre to the school locations...)

    "There's also the options of running concerts at venues outside of the school, if we can pull together the funding and permissions for it," Alex added, drawing from her own club experiences. "Our impromptu work at Amatsu Park did get people showing up too." And if Maya's run at the same park was any indication, wherever people would go busking could also be a performance location.

    Robyn nodded. She took out her notebook - the same one she used for going to classes - and scribbled down the suggestions.
    Robyn's notes Gym
    Field
    Amatsu Park
    Marth Stadium
    Looking at the notes and at Alex's suggestion, she replied, "I'm sure Chrom and Lissa can pull a few strings with the city government if they tried. If we do perform outside the school, I'll just have to ask them. Oh! We might as well perform at the stadium while we're at it." She scribbled the note on top.
