@Sugar @122 Generation (rumors that the other idol types are getting a third brand? Nothing definite confirmed--at this stage there are both plausible and improbable rumors going around)
@Sugar @122 Generation IdolNet was buzzing the next morning that the other idol types would be getting a third brand now that Colorful Magic and Island Dream had debuted. Nothing was officially confirmed yet, but many names and concepts were floating around the rumor mill.
Martine had been monitoring IdolNet in her Cabinet the moment she had finished preparing breakfast. While the tea was set to boil, her croissant was baking in the oven and a berry salad started her day.
@122 Generation Some of the brands were plausible, and others were quite outlandish. Still others were shot down because they were too similar to an existing brand.
Alyssa went to go check what all the buzz on IdolNet was all about. Apparently there were some rumors going around. She made herself some of her classic tea and got to checking the news.
@Sugar In addition to the other brands receiving a third brand, some rumors suggested that there could be a fourth Passion/Power and Exotic/Rugged brands. But eighteen brands sounded more likely than a few types dominating the brand list
After having breakfast, Martine set about leaving her residence. It wasn't before long that she was walking on the streets of the campus village again.
@122 Generation Speculation ran rampant as people discussed the rumors. Some were confident that this or that concept was the next new brand, and others believed something else was plausible. One thing was for sure: there would be three brands for each type.
Alyssa also made her way to the campus village, looking forr someone who can dispel a few of the ongoing rumors. Luckily, everything was relatively quiet and there was literally no one outside cause it was so early.
After walking past the bank and the post office, Martine picked up a copy of Rainbow Music Academy's local magazine to get a better idea at what was hip and happening. The Ivory Blossom hadn't opened yet, but was close to, so Martine sat down on a bench to read.
@122 Generation The lead article started by reiterating what was already known: Colorful Magic and Island Dream were only the first two new brands, and eventually every idol type would have a third brand. It was also confirmed that every type would eventually have even more brands than that. The rest of the article was some of the magazine's theories of plausible brand names and concepts for each type, including the Exotic/Rugged type and Passion/Power type.
Alyssa passed by Starlight Rouge in her search for somehwere to relax. There was only one person inside, whom Alyssa figured to be the manager. She could probably get one of her questions answered by asking, but she decided not to. After wandering for a bit, she found a table near the shop and took a seat.
@Sugar One by one, the brand shops opened for the day. Phoenix Power was already open, and Colorful Magic was also preparing to open, as was Starlight Rouge.
After taking a thorough look through the magazine, Martine got up from her seat and went to check out the stores. Island Dream was one of the shops she had passed by, but Martine was more focused on checking out the largely advertised ones and see what it was all about.
Alyssa saw Phoenix Power not too far from where she was sitting, so she went there to see what exactly was going on. Unfortunately, without many credits to her name, she wouldn't be doing any shopping today. But some looking around couldn't hurt.
