Nico Nico Ichi [Video]

[nicocism]

[The view's a bit shaky at first and there's mutters of "Here hold it like this" and "Just stay still!" until finally it seems to steady as it faces out towards an open lot. Then suddenly, a small girl runs out hurriedly in front of the camera, coming to a sudden stop front and center, a serious look on her face... which suddenly melt into a bright, almost blindingly cheery smile as she poses and throws her hands up in cute little signs]

Nico~ Nico~ nii~! It's everyone's favorite Nico-Nico~ [Who?] Or I will be soon! It's so nice to meet everyone out there who's working hard today! Is everyone having fun? Even if it's rough, just remember that Nico is cheering for you! Now that I'm an Enlightened too, and they gave me a warp band, you might even see me out in the field helping explore! Feel free to say hi if you do!

I look forward to working with all of you! Nico~ Nico~ nii~!

[She does the motions again and holds the pose for a bit before suddenly dropping it with a sigh, though there's a satisfied look on her face. Much more casually, she walks back towards the camera, view of her becoming obscure as she picks it up.]

Good job, Murkrow! Now let's see... eh, it was live?

[...there's a long, awkward pause before she remembers to turn it off - can't let anyone see her freak out over making such a mistake with what was supposed to be her debut.]

[nicocism]

Well, if you liked it that much, you should have said something instead of sneaking around!

[cutiepanther]

I-I wasn't sneaking around! I was just wondering what that noise was and didn't want to bother you! You're the one who starting throwing insults at me first!

[nicocism]

A likely excuse! Who just stands there staring, huh?

[cutiepanther]

An audience member is supposed to stay quiet during a performance until it's done!

[ She's perhaps done a few musical recitals in her time, though it's always been classical piano pieces. ]

[nicocism]

[Hey wait doesn't that-]

...so you admit it was a performance worth watching?

[cutiepanther]

[ This girl! Her very existence is difficult to deal with! ]

I-I never said that! S-Stop putting words into my mouth!

[nicocism]

Oh? I think that's what you were saying, hmm? If you're an audience member~

[cutiepanther]

[ SERIOUSLY THIS GIRL!!! She's such a pain! Maki can barely stand her at all! ]

I was being polite, something you apparently don't know how to be!

[nicocism]

You called it a performance though~

[cutiepanther]

T-That doesn't mean I thought it was good or anything!

[ She looks left and right, blushing and flustered from head to toe. ]

[nicocism]

Uh-huh, sure, that's why you were standing there entranced.

[NICO WILL CHARACTERIZE YOUR ACTIONS HOWEVER SUITS HER BEST AT THE MOMENT, CONTRADICTIONS BE DAMNED]

[cutiepanther]

I never said I was entranced either! Why am I even trying to reason with you?!

[ Nico's about two seconds from being hung up on!! ]

[nicocism]

You were staring without even saying a single thing or moving. Was I that impressive?

[cutiepanther]

I was just surprised that someone could make as many mistakes as that.

[ Take that! ]

[nicocism]

...! I didn't make that many!

[cutiepanther]

Do you think performing is just moving around on stage? There's a lot of things you have to do, especially if you add in singing. Do you even know how to sing?

[ Now Maki's on the offensive, taking the other girl down a notch! ]

[nicocism]

I know it's more than just that! And I know how to sing - better than you, I bet!

[She... she's not even trying to play pretty anymore]

[cutiepanther]

I've been trained by different vocal coaches since I was 5. Would you like me to prove it to you?

[ Yeah, Maki is smug as fuck now. ]

[nicocism]

Hah! That doesn't necessarily mean you're any good...

[She, uh, is getting the feeling she may have screwed up though]

[cutiepanther]

I-If you're asking me for a free concert I hope you know that there's no way I'm going to sing personally for you!

[nicocism]

Oh, I see how it is!

[cutiepanther]

Good! [ Yeah, she has nothing else to say to you anymore Nico. ]

[nicocism]

[She just. Sticks her tongue out at Maki and pulls her eye before closing it. Super mature.]
