Well hello everyone out there!

[There's a pretty girl on the screen all of a sudden.

Wait. It's hard to tell, but that's actually a dude in drag. Hopefully you have good perception-- if not? Kuranosuke's not going to correct anyone who mistakes him for a girl. He's got on make up, a lusciously full blonde wig, and pink from head to toe apart from his black miniskirt.

It looks like he's making this broadcast from the business district, and he's speaking with a girly lilt to his voice-- what, gotta act the part if you're dressed up, right?]

It's a pleasure to meet you all, I'm sure. Let's get down to business, shall we?

I'm looking for anyone who's interested in entering contests. You see, Pearls and I here-- Prrriii! -- aaare looking to offer our services as Pokémon Stylists.

If you need a consultation, or maybe just need a refresher course of your own, please feel free to contact me and we'll see if I can help you. I'm looking for a special kind of client... so don't think you'll get away with it on the first meeting!

Anyway, just look into contacting Kuranosuke Koibuchi, alright?

[Koibuchi, as in Son-of-the-politician Koibuchi. He has no shame.]

Toodles!

[With a sigh, Kuranosuke ends the transmission and looks over at his Togepi. Dropping the feminine voice, he shrugs.]

Well, let's hope we don't get anyone boring.

Kura-po, you think everyone's boring nowadays.

I'm not wrong! There's never anyone with the right style. Everyone's always talking and talking- but it's like no one cares about what they do! I need something new.

[Pearls just lets out her own exasperated sigh. What is she going to do with this boy?]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Is that a playmate? Arjuna excitedly bounces a bit, and then goes to lead the egg baby up toward the apartment.]

Don't make a mess, you two!

[Nozomi gives her attention to Kuranosuke.]

Let's get started then, shall we? Is there anything you want to know about, or should I do a general reading?

[Pearls toddles along happily, quite glad to be meeting Arjuna.]

I didn't have anything in mind. I just think it's fun! You can do a general one, if you'd like.

All right then.

[She takes the cards and starts to shuffle them, offering the deck to Kuranosuke after a few rounds.]

Could you cut them? It'll give me a better reading.

Oh-- of course.

[He cuts them, being patient despite his clear excitement. He isn't sure he believes in this kind of thing, but it sure is fun.]

[She starts putting cards on the table, flipping them over one by one. Leaning over the array, she hmms gently.]

The cards say you're restless and that you're looking for something. But that something is going to change soon. I can't tell if it's related to your date, but it looks like you might be getting busy soon.

[And that just pulls a laugh out of him.]

Oh, sweetie, I assure you-- I'm not going to get it on with a pair of teenage idols-- but if you mean we'll be getting business, I'm all for that!

[She smiles a bit.]

Idols?

Singers! Performers, really, they play instruments too.

They're delightful.

Sounds fun. I know another person who wants to be an idol, actually. She seems pretty serious about it.

Is that so? It's always nice to see people have a passion for something. What's her name?

[~~Nico Nico Ni~~]

Nico Yazawa.

Nico? Cute and short. Maybe she'll have a chance for it, after all.

You ever read her fortune?

I don't know. She seems pretty serious, but there's something off about her performances. They don't leave much of an impact.

Not yet. She doesn't seem interested.

Oh? Is that so? How strange, from someone so passionate.

You don't think she could be holding back...?

[She thinks about it for a moment.]

I don't think it's holding back, but there's definitely something missing. Maybe she isn't pushing herself hard enough. I don't know much about performance, so I can't say.

Y'think? Huh. Well, hopefully you'll get a teacher or something to watch.

It really sucks when someone so into it can't get it right.

Me?

[Nozomi blinks a few times, looking surprised.]

It's interesting to watch, but that's all.

...Wait, you're not a part of it?

A girl like you's not right on stage with her? [It's not like Nozomi doesn't have style.]

[Nozomi shakes her head, looking surprised that he would think that.]

I don't think I've ever been on a stage in my life.

Well! Maybe you ought to try it out! You certainly have a fetching style.

[A soft grin.]

You might find it suits you.

You think so?

[She sounds more amused than curious.]
