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!"

Really? You think I have appeal?

[cutiepanther]

People like different things. While some people might like Nico's cute little sister look, I'm certain plenty will like you as you are.

[ Not that Maki cares anything about Nico's looks!!! Nope, definitely not!! ]

[ricericebaby]

I hope so!

[Any Nico-related subtext whizzes straight over Hanayo's head.]

But what do you think my type of appeal is?

[cutiepanther]

[ Poor Hanayo, her own subtext will be coming for her soon enough.

Maki doesn't need to think about that question, her eyes instantly dart down to the other girl's chest. But she can't just say that.. ]

Y-Your cute voice.

[ricericebaby]

[Geez, everybody in this group is always checking out Hanayo's boobs! And since Nico's done it once before, she actually notices this time, blushing a bit and shuffling her feet as she tries to drape an arm across her front.]

Oh... o-okay.

[cutiepanther]

[ She's not checking her out! It's just....they kind of stand out on a little girl like Hanayo! It's not quite like Nozomi's shape. But Maki realizes that Hanayo knows where she looked, and now she has to backtrack. ]

I-I'm not saying its your chest! [ Such a good job. ]

[ricericebaby]

You really do like my voice too, though, right?

[cutiepanther]

Of course! I think you have a really perfect voice for harmonizing. Not everyone has that skill.

[ricericebaby]

I wish I was a little better at singing on my own, but I guess if we're going to form a group, harmonizing is just as good.

[cutiepanther]

You just need more practice. It took me years under a music tutor to be able to sing like I can now. I'm sure you can get there with time.

[ricericebaby]

That's true. I haven't been seriously training for very long.

[cutiepanther]

See? Just don't give up trying. You can do it, Hanayo.

[ ...Why is Maki being like this at all? She's not even sure. ]

[ricericebaby]

I won't give up. This is my dream!
