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

[nicocism]

Well, it's not like you have to write an original song just for practice... and good luck getting that girl to be helpful.

[honokairo]

There are a lot of songs I like we could sing! But Nico...you got Maki all wrong! She's helping me right now too so I can get better at singing!

[ALL THESE PEOPLE ARE HELPING HER and oh man does she need the help]

[nicocism]

Are you sure she's "helping" and not just lecturing?

[Because yes, Nico, you had such pure and altruistic reasons to get that swellow to stop squawking too]

[honokairo]

She had me practice with her at the piano, so I think that's helping. We sang and she was trying to get me to sing from my diaphragm instead. I guess I don't do that so well.

[AS IF THAT WASN'T ALREADY OBVIOUS]

[nicocism]

Well, that's part of it...

Wait you already- oh right, you said you were going to stay at her house at one point...

[honokairo]

Yeah! [They sure did hang out awww yeah] Then we went out to eat and went shopping and hung out all day!

Nico, you two are friends, aren't you?

[nicocism]

F, friends? [SHE SOUNDS SO OFFENDED AT THE SUGGESTION] We're just acquaintances that share some interests, that's all!

[Says the girl... who goes over to Maki's house... at least twice a week... sometimes unannounced...]

[honokairo]

Well, you seem to take interest in her a lot. I figured you two were friends.

[hehehehe]

[nicocism]

Not really! We just run into each other a lot because she's into music too and she's always so nosy!

[honokairo]

Oh! Well, if you come see us practice, you can see her there too! She's coming to make sure we do it right!

[It's finalized! Maki is coming!]

[nicocism]

[UM, STOP ASSUMING SHE WANTS TO SEE HER MORE?]

Well, that sounds like her... she can be so bossy, you know?

[honokairo]

Maybe a little bit, but she means well. If it weren't for Maki, wouldn't remember anything I learned about music from school. Music wasn't important for a long time in Caldera, but because of her, I'm getting back into it really easily!

[Can you do better Nico can you]

[nicocism]

Yeah, well... she goes to all sorts of lessons and stuff [That Nico would never afford of course] so of course she knows about those sort of things and she's not bad at teaching... [As Nico knows first-hand]

[honokairo]

That's why I asked her to come! But teaching is a big job. I don't know if she can do it herself...even if she's really good!

We could use someone else-!

[nicocism]

Oh, I'm sure she can handle it herself! She wouldn't dream of asking for help!

[HUFF HUFF YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM BE FRIENDS even if she already spends more time with Maki than anyone else outside her family]

[honokairo]

No, but I would! I'm sure she wouldn't mind if someone else took a little responsibility off of her!

[Honoka doesn't know Maki very well yet]

[nicocism]

I wouldn't be so sure...

[Yeah, Nico doubts that]
