A Musical Practice

[honokairo]

Who: The Love Live! Girls, anyone who lives at Hikawa Shrine, and anyone leaving and entering the shrine! And stalkers. There are stalkers.
What: Practice for performing on stage! Their first practice ever.
When: Sometime in the afternoon, after school is over.
Where: Hikawa Shrine, Union.
Summary: Honoka has finally managed to amass a group of people to get together as a little musical group to perform. They are going to try to practice together for the first time, and that could go any number of ways.

"Hello everyone!" She shouts once all the girls who she expected to come to practice arrive. "I wasn't sure where we could practice, but I'm so glad Rei let us come here and use the courtyard! So!"

She stands, feet at shoulder width, in front of the girls, looking determined as ever.

"We'll do some singing first! And after a little break, we'll try dancing! Someone will need to clap for us to keep time, but we can alternate who does that so everyone gets to practice dancing. And then! We can get something to eat when we're done! If there's someone you don't know, get to know them a little bit before we begin our practice!"

"Okay! Let's start!"

Right!

[Hanayo's voice is a loud whisper as she leans in conspiratorially, hunching down and starting to tiptoe away with Honoka.]

Let's go, while she's still dancing...

[ricericebaby]

[Hmph.]

And I train hard every day with Hanayo. What's the big deal?

[honokairo]

[MISSES KOTORI AND LANDS ON THE GROUND IN A HEAP BOOM]

Owwwwww!!!!

[honokairo]

[She nods, and they sneak together. Sneak, sneak, sneak. Right out the front of the shrine. And when she feels they can make a run for it, SHE DOES.]

Hanayo, quick, so no one sees us! [RUN RUN RUN]

[cutiepanther]

It's just a normal lunch box.

[ Sometimes she really can't see past her own family's wealth. But Makis just going to pass the box and put it in Hanayo's lap. ]

I'm not really that hungry today, I just wanted the tomatoes. Here.

[cutiepanther]

You do?

[ How dangerous. Maki needs to set this girl on the right path before Nico can corrupt her. ]

Listen, Hanayo. If you want to become an idol then you need to work on your singing first and foremost. That's the most important thing!

[cutiepanther]

Are you sure...?

[ Maki blinks a few times before accepting the notebook, eyes opening a little wide when she sees just how much Eli has watched them, and how hard her criticism can be. Not that Maki herself hasn't been a little tough on the weaker singers in the group. ]

I can handle doing all the vocal training for them, but I don't know that much about dance... Which gives her the idea. Aren't you a dancer, Eri? Couldn't you help them out?

[ Ever the aloof one, Maki says 'them' and not 'us'. ]

[cutiepanther]

[ The little petting makes her cat ears perk up a few times on their own. They are sensitive! ]

...Why do I feel like it would be impossible to ever say no to you, Kotori?

[cutiepanther]

Tery?

[ Holding the annoyed, but calming Yaya against her body, Maki notices the little bug (taking a reactive step back without thinking) her tail suddenly going rigid. ]

Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know why but Yaya can't seem to stop talking about you, Kotori. I'm sure she was just happy to see you..

[ Maki apparently hasn't realized that her Pokemon has a crush on Kotori. Even though Yaya is cawing back: She was giving it to me because she knows a high class bird when she sees one! ]

[umiiroshoujo]

[Aaaaand Umi sighs. They've still got a long way to go.]

[honokairo]

Maybe...I shouldn't of spun so fast...

[Trying to pick herself up off the ground again. That hurt.]

[erichika]

I guess there's no helping it. Give me your training schedule, I'll be there next time.

[cutiepanther]

[ Maki's surprised, but not too much. It's clear that Eri has some interest in them, seeing how far she's already gone to watching them practice. But she can only think that it's up to Honoka to convince her to join. ]

Here. If we change locations or anything I'll be sure to let you know.

not sorry

[future_sight]

Can I come too?

[Okay where did she come from? Standing on the other side of Maki, Nozomi winks with a bit of a mischievous smile. She's curious! And at least she's not inviting herself over this time yet.]

[unbalancedlove]

Talent, my child.

[He gives her a look full of pity.]

I have a natural gift for acting that you do not posess.

[unbalancedlove]

[A certain bird offers a hand to her friend.]

Sorry, I should have caught you...

[And then they'll both be in the ground, wouldn't they?]

[unbalancedlove]

[She felt that! Kotori pets her head a bit more slowly, trying to be gentle with those mysterious ears.]

Hehehe~ Because we are friends, right?

[unbalancedlove]

She is Tery, a cute Scatterbug.

[The swablu points to the small bug with her wing, an action that she takes as permission to jump on it. Maki may notice that she has a handmade leaf ribbon on her head .]

I'm also happy to see her! They just seem to not get along for some reason. I told them there are more macaroons, too... maybe they are more hot blooded than we thought.

[She gives them a worried look as they continue arguing: Thieves are not high class! You even have a dirty feather under your beak!]

Tery, that's because of you...

[honokairo]

No, it's okay! Next time I'll get it.

[They would both be in the ground. Sadness.]

[umiiroshoujo]

I don't expect you to get it immediately, but you'll need to practice.

[ricericebaby]

Let's go!

[And she makes a mad dash for it! Nevermind how loud they're both being.]

[ricericebaby]

Thank you, Maki! It smells wonderful!

[Hanayo takes a small bite, and her eyes light right up.]

And it tastes even better than it smells!

[ricericebaby]

Not my choreography or my appeal?

[Those are what Nico kept trying to work on.]

[ricericebaby]

Acting is nothing without charisma! I have hundreds of adoring fans!

[No you don't, Sutra, you're just making crap up now.]

[unbalancedlove]

[Here is where a polite gentleman would just agree and let this white lie pass.]

Really? Where are they now then?

[Sadly Rurua is no polite gentleman.]
