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

(Of course! Just look at her plates. Should have given her and Kai more points on the OTP poll actualy)

Robyn quietly clapped her hands together, already delighted at Nora's swift response. "Ooh! Thanks! It's this one..." Robyn replied, while pulling out her phone to play the song from Ebuto. "If it's not too much to ask, want to sing with me too?" she asked as the song began to play.

When Robin heard the song, he couldn't help recognising it immediately. "That's Tiny Stars, isn't it? I can help with the guitar. If you need vocals, I can help with that too, Robyn," he offered. Then he looked at the notebook again. "You know, I could do a solo performance if I wanted." While the song was still playing on Robyn's phone, Robyn debated whether to write Robin's name down, but knew that because of the capacity of songs, it was better to let everyone else have a go first. Robin could wait.

Meanwhile, Kamui and Meru had gotten up together to settle the bill. Kamui didn't look at all intimidated by the final bill and was pleased that everyone got to come to Sokai Sushi. When would be the next time that they would get the chance?

(Six more spots to fill, plus the group song. Plus, Big Han-san needs a partner for something!

Also: the off-vocal version of Tiny Stars for Nora's consideration, and it has more violin in it than I thought)

 

(Long story short, that was supposed to be a proposed idea for Alexa - but that has changed. Group song back to 11th)

Robyn gave Kai's question some thought. "Well... the design of the schedule is supposed be that there is one song per session. If you have enough energy for two songs in a row, then I don't have a problem with that. Were you thinking of doing another improv drama act?" (to which Robyn said as a little stab at the previous performance).

Robin was still looking over the schedule in Robyn's notebook while subconsciously moving his hands and fingers to the beat of Tiny Stars. He also wondered if he should do another performance with Robyn, or go solo, or collaborate with one of his clubmates.

Meanwhile, on the internet, the promotional videos of the members of the Ylisstol School Talent/Idol Club were receiving lots of new views and comments. For the videos of Kai and Tamal, in particular, there was talk about them being similar in the sense of natto and wondered if they should do performances together with natto as part of their stage name.

 

Both Robyn and Robin evidently showed stars in their eyes for a moment at the mention of Tamal needing a band. That piqued their interest such that they had completely missed the detail that the initial song was about a fish. Even then, Robyn jotted down for Tamal to have a slot or two in the schedule. "You know, I could join in for the guitar too," Robyn offered.

Kamui meanwhile clapped her hands. "Ooh! If Nora-chan needs the electric violin, I could pull whatever favours I could from my buddies in the school music club. They might lend the violin again. Or we could count on Nora-chan's popularity to get the violin too."

Robyn and Robin then caught wind that there was quite the crowd of fans gathered in front of the window of Sokai Sushi. Wait, what?! Robyn was not expecting this school talent idol club to have gotten this popular! While Robyn wasn't hoping to attract attention, the reverse was that she needed enough attention to possibly get an entry into the Summer Scramble Festival.

But at the same time, like Kai, she smiled at the sight of the fans trying to get a peek at them. Now that left Robyn wondering how they were ever going to get out unnoticed. "You would think fans would do anything for leaks! Who would have known that we would be performing at Shirasagi?"

Kamui smiled to herself.

Then Robyn had another thought. There was the issue of practicing together and finding the place to do so. The school was no longer an option (and would only be open to view exam results), so something had to be done later...

(Alexa, Maya, and Robin have yet to fill in a slot. Also, still need a group song, but I can throw one in there)

 

@ChocoChicken @SAF

Robyn and Robin exchanged glances at Alex's remark. "Hmm. Alexa-chan does have a point," Robyn said. "We ought to take this elsewhere, and we can listen to songs where it's not as crowded as here."

"I forgot my headphones though," Robin sweatdropped. "If someone could lend a pair, that would be nice."

@WavePearl

"Oh, come now! Who needs to know about bands and artists when we have Azura-chan? She's very popular around here, and you've already heard one of her songs" Kamui said in an exaggerated tone as if trying to be dramatic.

Then Kamui stood up. "Still, it wouldn't hurt to get away for a bit and put some thought into the songs. You know, I agree with Alex-chan! Let's relocate. I know the place where we can rack our brains. And I doubt anyone would try to follow us there."

It really was quite the hassle to get out of Sokai Sushi unnoticed. For one thing, Robyn guessed that it wasn't just fans who wanted to see her and her clubmates, but also people who had no clue what was going on and wanted to know what was happening. Robyn shook her head. At this rate, someone would try to point out her similarities with Robin. Kamui might as well be the type to throw a smoke bomb as the means of escaping.

7/20 Saturday: Afternoon; Suzanoh Park

If there was anything that Byakuya-shi was known for, it was the wide expanse of grass and white blossom trees that was only found in Suzanoh Park. Despite Byakuya-shi being a very big city by area and having a busy atmosphere by nature, the park offered its own sense of tranquility as if it were separate from the city itself. It helped that it was not surrounded by buildings and at least one . And there was a bus exchange located at the entrance to the park too.

The park was very quiet. Not even the noise from the bustling streets of Byakuya-shi could penetrate the air of the park, save for the occasional wailing from police, ambulance, or fire services. The trees waived in the wind breeze, and then there were fields behind them, where rivers, gardens, and ponds decorated the landscape.

Kamui led the club (plus Meru) to a space near the trees. The brightness of the blossoms reflected in the sunlight really acted like natural lighting for them!

Robyn meanwhile was still listening to Tiny Stars on her phone.

 

@ChocoChicken

"Tamal-kun is right! How bad could it be? This is a very big park," Kamui agreed. "There's no one nearby, so I'm sure it's safe! But you know, if we want to be extra safe, we can move closer the fields. It would be hard for someone to spot us there. Plus, you could play an instrument here and it would be hard to hear from afar without an amp. So you would have to be nearby."

@WavePearl @SAF

So Kamui led Robyn and the rest of the club on a park trail that went through the field and beside a flowing river. White blossoms blew endlessly in the air above and around them. As they walked, Kamui added, "Oh yeah, Maya-chan. You'll find plenty of hits from Azura... and merchandise. You could even buy fan posters of her at the train station!"

Then they stopped near a pond that had some benches for sitting, with a tranquil view of white blossom trees all around them. It was as if they had stepped into another world from Byakuya-shi. Just what kind of a park was this? It felt magical. With that said, Robyn took out her notebook to review the lineup and also looked at Robin. "Any thoughts?"

"I'm still considering it," Robin replied. "If I had to place a spot, it would be after Azura-san's performance, perhaps."

"Righto," Robyn replied, and then jotted down Robin's request, all while singing the first lyrics of Tiny Stars to herself. "Nanimo mienai yozora hitosuji no nagareboshi. Kirakira mabushii sugata ni yuuki o moratta yo..."

So while Tamal and Kai were talking, Robin around asking if anyone had any headphones or earbuds to spare.

(Can't help feeling amused that Kamui has some Kotone in her)

 

(Meru might as well become some kind of bouncer )

@SAF

Robyn made a sad face at Nora after feeling the nudge. "Aw... That's okay. I could always have Robin join us onstage. He can be the other vocalist, and the guitar... right?" she said with that last word emphasised in Robin's direction.

Robin, suddenly conscious that Robyn was leading him to answer, nodded silently.

"Okay! Then it's decided. Robin can join us so Nora-chan can focus on strings," Robyn concluded. So it seemed that she, Robin, and Nora would be performing together.

@ChocoChicken

Robyn's train of thought was then disrupted by a considerably irritating tone, courtesy from Tamal's phone. The music was so... senseless (in Robyn's honest opinion). What was this about a fish, anyway? The thing was that Robyn was finding it hard not to smile from the tune. From the way Robyn saw it, Tamal and Kai were really into this. Maybe - maybe - she ought to name the part as some kind of unit with natto in the name.

Then by the time the second song played, Robyn paused. "Wh-what?! This song was sung by the same voice actor?! That's so cool! I'm sure Robin could lend his guitar unless you really want to do it, Tamal-kun," she said. "Since as you said, we don't have a drummer, I think I could contact one of my friends to make drumbeats for us - with the computer. I'm sure some DJs do that already. If nothing else, I suppose Kamui-chan's friends in the music club could lend us a bass guitar." It was true that the club had no drummer, so perhaps electronic means was a possible option. All that was left was to find someone who could do it.

As for Kamui, she had stars in her eyes with the way this meeting was headed. To Kai, she replied, "Better yet, there will be enormous TV screens above the stage! Unless if you really need a projector. Why?"

@WavePearl

So while Kamui was chatting away with Kai, Robyn had left Robin with the club (and also left him to brainstorm someone who could make beats) so that she could check in on Maya. "Well, Maya-chan? You seem like you know what song you want." The closer Robyn got to Maya's phone, the more she could listen to the familiar tune that only a certain Uta-loid was known for. "Want me to add you in the lineup?"

(I didn't know Jack Black sang for other characters heheh)

 

@WavePearl

"You better decide soon. The performance is next week," Robyn warned. "Whelp, you can let me know when you've decided."

Robyn then left Maya to rejoin the others, all while thinking who could possibly make beats for the club, since there was no drummer. Cordelia was the first face who came to mind, since Robyn did see her interacting with members of the Ylisstol High School music club (which, by the way, was similar to but not quite the same as the talent-idol club).
