A Musical Practice
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!"

A: Dancing!
[Honoka is trying really, really hard to get all the moves right. But she flubs up every now and again. Sometimes she's not in time, sometimes she's doing the completely wrong move altogether. But, sometimes, she's getting it perfectly, or as perfect as someone as inexperienced as her can get it right. She looks over and grins, whether she screwed it up or not. Someone...might want to tell her though what she messed up or she'll never get it fixed.
She's still having fun, even though it's hard work. By the end, she's panting and out of breath.]
B: Break Time!
[Speaking of that out of breath, she wanders over to grab her water bottle for now, sitting up against a pillar or wall or what have you. Taking sips from it, she relaxes. That was hard work and man is she out of shape.
Maybe she needs to go on a diet.]
C: Singing!
[Finally after the break, they all line up to try to sing a song together. Honoka has brought along a little stereo with the music, playing it so they can work on harmonies and being together along with the accompaniment. It...probably doesn't sound so good at first, so they break into sectionals, helping each other out with their parts.]
Open to All
D: Mingle!
[Before and after the practice, Honoka can be found either saying hello and being generally friendly with everyone who approaches her, or if it's after, recovering from all the work. But she'll love to talk to you even if she's tired, if you approach her.]
D: i'm so sorry for this shitbird
come to the power of friendship, ankh
his canon likes to forcibly hold his hand with friendship. literally.
HAHA good these girls will do the same to him
wheeze i'll link you guys to the dumb Friendship Samba they sing
HAHA PLEASE DO THAT SOUNDS HILARIOUS.

I'M GLAD THAT YOU'RE GLAD

[ Maki said she wouldn't be joining this group, but after talking with Rei and Nozomi, and Honoka too...she's starting to think maybe being in a real honest to god musical group wouldn't be so bad. But she's not the type of girl who can stand being second best, or worse, not good at all. She is looking to see if anyone else among them is actually serious about this, aside from Honoka.
Dancing isn't her speciality, but she's been working with Umi, as well as Haruka and Michiru at the theater, so she's a lot better than she was before. Expect her to not look very approachable for a while though, seeing how she hasn't realized she should smile more.. ]
Singing
[ This is where Maki shines. She's taking control of the group for now, standing in front of all of them, trying to teach them how to sing correctly. She teaching them proper pitch control, how to sing from their diaphragm, and the basic scale. She's even brought along her own music for them to sing to, something she just sort of came up with. The lyrics leave a little to be desired, since she's never been very good at writing lyrics, but her music is upbeat, and catchy, and easy to sing along with.
When it comes to singing though, Maki is serious, and skilled, looking like a natural when she belts out difficult notes. It's clear music is her passion, after all. ]
Break
[ There's a couple people Maki's not seen too much of, like Hanayo and Kotori, that she might actually go over to speak with, but expect Maki to find a spot along, to eat a fancy sandwich that she brought with her, as well as a full lunch box full of food she can share. She's not used to school or anything, so when it comes to a lunch break she doesn't think much of seeking others out to eat with. ]
To anyone else at the Shrine!
[ Feel free to run into Maki before or after, and pick on her, whatever you like. ]

OTA here to be confused. He didn't hear about this!!!

[Hanayo has a little bit of experience dancing, but it's definitely not her strongest point. She spends a lot of time just practicing basic moves, trying to move in time with the beat. Unfortunately, something always seems to go slightly wrong - either her glasses come loose and fall off, or she gets dizzy and loses her balance during a spin, or a host of other issues. But she seems determined to get it right, and she always stands right back up and goes back to it.]
Singing
[Singing, however, is something she's much better at. While the volume of her voice leaves something to be desired at first, as she eases into it she actually manages to sound reasonably good. And her true talent shines through when she's singing accompaniment to any of the other girls - it seems Hanayo has a natural ear for harmonizing, and is able to adjust her pitch almost effortlessly to match the range of the others.]
Break Time
[While Hanayo has some experience from practicing on her own and with her Pokemon, it's nothing like the rigors that she's going through today. She wants to do her best to impress her new friends and fellow aspiring idols, so she may have pushed herself a little too hard. She can be found sitting to the side during her breaks eating absolutely absurd amounts of white rice, talking to her friend Rin, or taking a few minutes to stretch her legs and rub her tired feet.]
With Pokemon
[Hanayo's Pokemon are all trained to sing and dance too, so sometimes they get in on the action while she's working. Baiorin the Kricketune spends his time acting like a conductor and trying to keep the others in line, Kane the Chansey fusses and makes sure they're all helping each other, Taiko the Magby and Odori the Tyrunt both spend their time practicing cool poses, Supika mostly lets out ear-splitting cries that it thinks are wonderful chords, Kururin the Lilligant practices all sorts of elegant dance moves, Chuchu the Ducklett attempts to dance but mostly trips over its own webbed feet, and Sutra the Kirlia spends all of her time lecturing the other Pokemon about their substandard performances and urging them to try twice as hard. It's all a bit chaotic, but they're trying hard in their own way.]
Singing, of course

OTA!
[She sang twice, once in public eye. Rin's voice may be untrained, but there is a lot of potential in it and the effort she puts into it is very strong. So there is definitely something to work with here. She's having fun with it despite that it's not the most perfect voice ever and there isn't really any pressure since it's not like a big concert or anything. Just practice. Just training.]
B: Break Time
[Even during breaks, Rin is stretching around and still moving here and there. Of course, she does settle down with a water bottle in her hands and a Sableye crawling on top of her. She brought a few of her Pokémon along for the ride. Zeni the Blastosie is just relaxing next to her while Lala the Reuniclus has been studying the music of humans, beating the ground with two sticks like she's playing the drums in various beats. Rin has some doubts, but she's really having fun today.]
C: Dancing
[Rin has certainly danced before, but there is a big difference between dancing around in play than dancing seriously for a performance. She can certainly follow directions, but it's obvious that she can sometimes go into her own flow than follow along with the group. It's not her dancing is awful because of it, but she's just too used to the beat of her drum. The effort is just as large as her singing, really putting it all towards her steps. Only she's way better at dancing than singing in her opinion.]
D: Wildcard!
[Anything goes around the shrine!]

[Dancing is a topic she is completely new at and given her air headed nature? clumsiness is inevitable. She is certainly better now that she got to practice a bit with Honoka before today but neither of them had any proper guiding and every one of her steps scream rookie.
Even though she hasn't tripped over her own feet or anything big yet she keeps missing small steps that throw her off rhythm. Her expression reveals her emotions clearly.]
B: Singing!
[She is not exactly confident about her singing voice when in human form but this is certainly something Kotori enjoys much more. While she commits the sin of letting her voice go too high pitched at many points her performance is not all bad, nor is her more relaxed expression.
Behind Kotori stands a Scatterbug that attempts to match her tune with mixed success.]
C: Break time!
[Kotori is not around during break time.
Why? because there is a shiny Swablu in her place, surrounded by her pokemon, and eating her macaroon snacks. It's easier to relax in this form after all but it may confuse those who don't know her shifter status.]
D: Free for all! (arrival and after training)
[Kotori arrives with a cheerful smile on her face and a surprising amount of pokemon following her. While she normally only goes out with one or two of them by her side it was hard to get them to stay at the apartment: all her friends are most interested in this new 'hobby' she is picking up. It's hard to miss her.
Anything goes for after training!]
