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!"

Break!

[ricericebaby]

[When Maki comes by to talk to Hanayo, she'll find her enjoying a hearty lunch composed entirely of white rice. Like... really enjoying. To the point of blushing as she eats it. Girl loves her some rice.]

Aaaahhh, it's so fluffy today...!

[cutiepanther]

[ This isn't easy for Maki. Going over to talk to someone else, when she could just as easily sit by herself on the steps and eat her lunch. But after the singing practice, and how hard she was on Hanayo, she feels like she should say something to her, But first, she can't take her eyes off that lunch. It doesn't look balanced nutritiously at all. ]

...Is that your lunch, Hanayo?

[ricericebaby]

Yes! I've been waiting to eat it all day!

[What is nutritional balance, rice is all you need.]

[cutiepanther]

...That's all you brought?

[ Maki looks down at her own lunch, a full box filled with all kinds of expensive looking ingredients. ]

[ricericebaby]

[Hanayo nods, looking slightly sheepish.]

You're right... maybe I should have brought more to keep my strength up.

[cutiepanther]

Hanayo.... you have to eat a balanced diet.

[ She sounds like Umi.. ]

Nothing but rice will make you... gain weight.

[ricericebaby]

It will?!

[That's a problem!]

But I usually eat even more than this!

[cutiepanther]

Y-You do?

[ Maki can barely even stomach a quarter of that much rice, and she has no idea how anyone could JUST eat rice... ]

You should still try to eat a balanced meal, rice or not.

[ricericebaby]

[It's because rice is the most delicious food known to man.]

Oh... so maybe I should put some vegetables in it next time?

[cutiepanther]

[ Is it? Maki's pretty sure that's TOMATOES. ]

Vegetables are always good for you, it's better than just rice. But it's good that you're working out I guess..

[ricericebaby]

What did you bring for lunch, Maki?

[cutiepanther]

[ Of course in side of Maki's own lunchbox is an incredibly expensive looking meal with meat, tomatoes, a little bit of rice, and other things. ]

N-Nothing special, really.

[ricericebaby]

Really? I thought I could get an idea of what to bring...

[cutiepanther]

...Fine, here.

[ Maki opens the lunchbox and shows Hanayo the inside, and how extravagant it is. ]

See, it's nothing special..

[ricericebaby]

This is nothing special?

[Maki, you need to learn about how other people live.]

But there's so much! And it looks so delicious!

[cutiepanther]

[ She seriously does. What do you mean not everyone has professional cooks to make them lunch boxes? ]

W-Well...I can't eat it all. If you want some.

[ricericebaby]

I don't even know what some of these things are...

[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.

[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!

[cutiepanther]

R-Really? It's nothing that special from the cook at my house. I didn't realize..

[ Maki also doesn't realize that she's rich, and not everyone else is. ]

You can finish it, if you want. It's healthier than just eating plain rice.

[ricericebaby]

You have your own cooks?

[Just how rich is she?!]

If you're sure...!

[cutiepanther]

It really not that big of a deal.

[ Already she's twirling her hair, trying not to make it seem like she's spoiled. Which fails. ]

It's fine, like I said I'm not that hungry. B-Besides, don't friends share their lunches with each other?

[ricericebaby]

Thank you, Maki! Next time I'll bring something good for you!

[Something with lots of rice in it.]

[cutiepanther]

You don't have to go that far...

[ Jeez Hanayo, way to make Maki blush. ]

[ricericebaby]

It's no problem at all.
