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]

Those are the best kind though, aren't they?

[She kneels down to go pat Natu on the head. It's way too cute not to.]

[faithfulflame]

[He will accept your pettins! Happily.]

They really are. The staring needs to stop though. It's rude.

[honokairo]

Stare? Maybe that's just a nervous tic of his. You don't mean to, do you?

[She coos at the bird. Noooo good bird cutie bird.]

[faithfulflame]

[Except he totally does. OOOooooOOOOooIIIIIOOOooooooo.

The Natu chirps again and just nuzzles her fingertip.]

We'll see. He's very attracted to the word Friend, though.

[The little red feather perks up on top of the bird as she says the word, swiveling towards Rei.]

See?

[honokairo]

[She looks at it with a confused look.]

That's a bit strange, do you know why? [She wants to try.]

You really like the word Friend?

[faithfulflame]

[The feather swivels to Honoka, like a little radar.]

Tu! Tu!

That...would be a yes. Ravi's psychic powers must be clicked into that word.

[honokairo]

It's not a bad word to be in tune with, but...that's still a little strange.

I'll be your friend too, Ravi! How's that sound?

[faithfulflame]

[The bird chirps happily, his friend radar zeroing in on Honoka, and he goes back to staring at her.]

I just hope whatever he evolves into stares a bit less.

[honokairo]

It's not so bad! [She goes to scoop up the cute little bird.]

I'm sure he'll grow out of it.

Thank you again for letting us use the shrine for practice, I promise we'll make it up to you!

[faithfulflame]

It's no trouble at all. Hikawa shrine has a vested interest in brightening Union one way or another.

[honokairo]

[This may or may not be a wise decision on Honoka's part, but she goes to try to give Rei a big hug.]

Thanks so much!

[faithfulflame]

[A few months ago? Rei would've stiffened a lot and just let Honoka hug. But...now? she's able to return it a bit, if not quite so big.]

You're very welcome.
