2nd Song | Video/Action

Video:

[She figures not everyone knows her name (most probably don't) so here she is again, introducing herself-]

Hi everyone! I'm Honoka Kousaka, from Caldera! I came to Union a while ago, and I wasn't sure what I would find, but what I did find was...

Singing! And dancing! And that makes people happy! [Guess who's seen some shows and went to the charity concert.]

I'm not very good, but I've been practicing. I have a Jigglypuff who's been giving me lessons, and she scolds me sometimes for messing up, but I've been working hard! And maybe one day, a bunch of us can do the same thing together.

I want to know if anyone else likes to do that too!

Action:

[Honoka can be found out in Union in various places. Idol training is hard! And Jigglypuff is making her run. She looks worn out and is whining a little about it, but she's still trying.

Later, there's dance lessons...those are going alright, but then she's not exceptionally talented at it either. It's obvious if you happen across their path.

And at the end of the day, singing lessons, right outside too- and Honoka sounds okay, but that Swellow that's with them trying to sing along is horrific!]

Comments

[honokairo]

Oh? But what?

[Nothing can stop you Kotori there are no buts here]

[unbalancedlove]

[It's a bit embarrassing to admit.]

I don't think I would be good at it yet.

[Maki did encourage her in a dream but she hasn't gotten around practicing yet after all!]

[honokairo]

Why not? All you'd need to do is practice. Practice makes perfect! I'd practice with you if you wanted.

[She believes in Kotori!]

[unbalancedlove]

[Kotori nods.]

That's the issue, I haven't begun practicing yet-- eh? together?... That could be very fun...

[honokairo]

I think it would be a lot of fun! Think of all the fun songs we could sing together instead?

[Plus, singing together would help build confidence!]

I bet I could find some fun duets for the two of us!

[unbalancedlove]

[If anything they can get embarrassed together like true friends.]

That would be really fun, we could wear cute matching outfits on stage, too!

[She could go all out when designing them since it's just two, how tempting!]

We could give it a try.

[honokairo]

We could! [Cute outfits, singing onstage...it sounded so wonderful.]

There's lots of shops in Union where we could pick out outfits...but I don't even know where to start!

[Wait until she finds out Kotori can designnnnn]

[unbalancedlove]

[The revelation will come soon because...]

Don't worry about that, sewing is actually a hobby of mine! with enough time I can make them.

[She has no issue sharing that fact.]

[honokairo]

You can sew? You'd do that!? [This is great news because Honoka, actually, doesn't have that much money.]

That's amazing! Then we don't have to buy expensive costumes!

[unbalancedlove]

I'd be glad to!

[Kotori's finances are not to brag about either... looks like their beginning idol life will require more effort than expected.]

Hehehe, it's not amazing at all, really.

[honokairo]

Yes it is! I can't sew! [She will need to be taught!]

You can make anything! Pretty dresses, cute costumes! Do you design them too?

[unbalancedlove]

It's not hard to learn~ I'll be more than glad to teach you, if you want.

[As a former(?) teacher offers Honoka truly is in good hands!]

I do~!

[honokairo]

Can I see some of your designs?

[Ahhh that's so awesome why are all her friends so awesome]

[unbalancedlove]

You can.

[Kotori did buy some fabrics today so she did bring her sketchbook on this trip. It takes her some moments to find it inside her shopping bags but once she does the precious item ends on Honoka's hands without resistance.]

[honokairo]

[Opening the sketchbook, she sees all the wonderful designs that Kotori has drawn in there. Her eyes go wide.]

Look at this one! And this one, they're all so pretty and cute, Kotori! When did you start doing this?

[unbalancedlove]

[Honoka's words are embarrassing, gosh. Her cheeks turn more and more red from every one of them.]

A few years ago, maybe? I've been doing more designs since I came here.

[Specially after her dream!]

[honokairo]

What are they for? Are you designing for something in particular or just because you like to?

[Still flipping through the pages, they all look great!]

[unbalancedlove]

Just because I like to! It's part of my sewing hobby, I think.

[While flipping through pages Honoka may notice that in a page or two the drawings resemble a certain girl.]

[honokairo]

Kotori...is that Maki?

[She points to the particular drawing. It looks a lot like Maki and the outfit on her is gorgeous.]

[unbalancedlove]

[She nods.]

I was hoping to design her debut outfit when she steps on stage.

[She has yet to ask but ideas just flowed!]

[honokairo]

It's...it's so cute! Kotori!

[IDEA]

Do you think all of us can wear cute outfits like this?!

[unbalancedlove]

Of course! Making matching outfits is fun.

[Wait wait what's with the plural?]

All of us?

[honokairo]

Yeah! Some other people that I've met since I came to Union said they also like to sing and dance! I thought maybe we could all do it together!

[The plan is coming together yesssss]

[unbalancedlove]

W-wow, you are truly decided on this, Honoka! A full group would definitely be more fun, imagine all the outfits we could try on...

[She is liking this more and more by the minute.]

[honokairo]

Mmmmhm! [She nods with a determined fist raised.]

It would look so great! And we would all match! And all your designs could come to life! We'll wear what you design for us, Kotori!
