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!"

[ She has her own Fletchling, though she's at home at the moment. But that doesn't mean she's very good at handling Pokemon at all. ]

I'm helping Honoka with her musical group she is trying to put together. [ Maki says that, but if he's been watching, she's been performing and practicing as if she's a part of the group already. ]

[tsunbird]

"Helping". I see.

[A covert little grin. He sees what you did there, Maki.]

[cutiepanther]

[ She's just being tsun, she can't help it. ]

W-What's that supposed to mean?

[tsunbird]

[A kindred spirit. Ankh understands. He shakes his head, the grin still there.]

Not a damn thing. How long are you gonna be helping? Or how long do you figure they'll be around.

[cutiepanther]

How should I know?!

[ Hair twirling, she looks at him, then away again quickly. ]

I'm not going to let them make fools of themselves, if that's what you mean.

[tsunbird]

[This is immensely funny to watch. He vaguely understands now why people get on him when he does this kind of thing. He brings his hands up in a placating gesture and shakes his head.]

Okay, okay, just wondering. Do you think this will be a regular occurrence?

[cutiepanther]

[ It's not that funny!! Or Maki would really prefer it not to be. She just has trouble with opening herself up to people. ]

H-How should I know? [ She's lying, because she already knows thanks to Rei and Nozomi, that she will definitely be joining the other girls, but she doesn't know how to be honest with herself that she does want to. ]

[tsunbird]

[A shrug of one shoulder.]

Figured if you were helping you might know how long you'd be obligated. You know, since you're not joining.

[cutiepanther]

I'm just doing it as a favor...because I don't want them to fail.

[ Or because they are all friends, something she hasn't yet realized. ]

[tsunbird]

Not wanting them to fail miiight require you to know how long they're gonna be practicing. Just a thought.

[Psshhh, friends. Who needs friendship, eh?]

[cutiepanther]

W-Why are you so interested yourself?

[ There, Maki can push it back in his face to try to make him admit something, because she's close to admitting things herself. ]

I COMPLETELY MISSED THIS COMMENT I'M SORRY

[tsunbird]

You all are dancing and singing in the front yard of where I live.

[Flat tone. Chew on that, Maki.]

its ok its ok!!

[cutiepanther]

..You live here? I thought it was just Rei.

[ Seeing how she is pretty close friends with Rei now. ]

>_>;;

[tsunbird]

She lets me and Eiji stay here.

[Eiji being her cousin, and Ankh just kind of being the shitbird Eiji brought home.]

lol

[cutiepanther]

Eiji?

[ Yeah Maki only knows Rei! But now she feels a little disappointed that she actually doesn't know all that much about her. ]

So you must get along with her then.

[tsunbird]

[Blinks.]

The guy with brown hair and horrible fashion sense that hangs around. He's got little horns and stuff. [He raises his hands to mimic them.]

[cutiepanther]

...I'm pretty sure I would have remembered someone like that.

[ Yeah, Maki doesn't know that person. ]

So how did you meet Rei?

[tsunbird]

[A chuffed laugh.]

He's pretty memorable.

[He shifts his weight, rolling his shoulders.] Eiji, actually. They're cousins, and he, ah... Brought me home with him.
