Video:

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!

action:

[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?]

Comments

[battlearmor]

Now, that's no way to build a following.

You've got to find some loyal fans first.

[He taps his finger against his chin as their desserts arrive.]

Actually... I think I know of a place that we can go very soon and rent instruments for... sort of an open mic session. it'd be a good way to get to hear you both together.

[Len starts to eat his dessert, banana first.] Really? We already had a following before we died, you know. Can't you just advertise that? ♫

[Not that he really has any idea how, but that's what the manager is for.]

[roadroller]

[Rin has no idea how he'd pull that off either. So she pouts, but asks.]

...Well, what's this open mic place? ♪

[battlearmor]

Honey, centuries-old fans aren't going to do much.

...Of course, advertising the whole robot thing...

[He thinks for a moment before answering.]

It's a little stage downtown called Shoreside. It's not too far from here, actually, if you want to stop in. The owner's a good friend.

[Good enough, anyway.]

[roadrolled]

Hmm... I guess we can stop by after we eat. ♫ [It's a little depressing to think about the fact all of their fans are dead, so Len stuffs his face with some more icecream instead.]

But what are you thinking? I mean, about advertising "the whole robot thing"? People around here seem kind of obsessed with the Old City, I bet if we rope 'em in with that we can keep them once they realize how cool we are! ♫

[roadroller]

Right? I'm kinda shocked they haven't made a bigger deal of that than they have, honestly. We're kind of the find of the century, here!

[Rin nibbles her brioche.]

Eh, it's probably better that way, though. ♪

[battlearmor]

[Kuranosuke gives Pearls the strawberry from the top of his shortcake before grabbing a bite himself.]

You are. And that can be used to our advantage, I think.

After all, you're a one of a kind experience nowadays, aren't you?

1/2

[roadrolled]

Well, two of a kind. [He playfully nudges Rin.] Hehe.

But this gives me an idea, Manager-san. We should start off big and impress them by singing something a normal human idol could never pull off! ♫

[roadroller]

Something unforgettable! It would be good if it was kind of daring too, don't you think? ♪

[battlearmor]

I'm assuming all this 'talking like you know something I don't' means you both have something in mind, hmm?

1/2

[roadrolled]

Of course! We didn't even discuss it before we came here, but I bet we're thinking of the same song. ♫

[He turns to grin at his twin.] Right, Rin? ♫

[roadroller]

It's a song about being idols, right? "Sincerity Nature" etc. ♪

[it has a long title but she's shortening it for the conversation.]

3/3 oops

[roadrolled]

[Len thoughtfully nods in response to Rin.] Yup, that's it. ♫

[battlearmor]

...So then, I guess we should finish up and get somewhere you can perform, then.

[He's excited SO EXCITED]

1/2

[roadrolled]

Sounds like a plan to me! Come on, Rin. ♫

[Len nods once and then starts to vacuum up his banana split. Not literally. Just because he's a robot doesn't make him also part vacuum.]
