Nico Nico Ichi [Video]

[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.]

Probably not... though it's not like anyone wouldn't remember those days? [Being all, oh, this year and all]

[celebrity_commentator]

True!

Well, welcome to self-publication. My name's Rise. Like I said, I was on the radio for a while.

[nicocism]

Oh! I thought you sounded familiar!

[She may have heard a time or two before. Given that Union's just one city, she kind of tunes into all entertainment people, not just in pokemon contests, and especially girls around her age]

It's nice to get to speak to you... I guess this counts as face-to-face? Hmm, that's a weird one to think about.

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, it's still like talking using Warp Bands was before, I just feel like I'm getting more value out of my makeup this way.

[nicocism]

Right, right? There's only so much people can get to know you just by voice, and it'd be hard to meet every single fan in person...

[celebrity_commentator]

Doesn't stop the ACE Studios folks from making you try, though...

[nicocism]

Sounds pushy... so you're with a studio?

[celebrity_commentator]

Used to be. I'm with Union Divine Theater right now, and it's a bit easier on my schedule. Off-seasons and working with senior actresses who don't bother showing up to rehearsal, that kind of thing.

[Please don't repeat that to Haruka.]

[nicocism]

[She can't possibly imagine Haruka-senpai is that irresponsible so it won't even cross her mind]

Oh, I guess it would be. More time to do other things then?

[celebrity_commentator]

Uh huh! I'm also a full-fledged Pokémon trainer!

Well, more or less.

[nicocism]

That's great! I'm kind of just starting on both.

[celebrity_commentator]

Well, if you need any help at all, just ask, okay? They're both great jobs for girls like us.

[nicocism]

Thanks! We'll see how things go when I head out!
