Kanata's Heart (scored run)

[dramatispersonae]

In your position, SET!
With Beginner playing the area glows impossibly brightly with neon colors that seem to form a rainbow and then there's nothing. . .

((please join #dumbidol! a second round will start at 10EST for those who requested it.))

ALLEY WAY

[dramatispersonae]

[The sounds of "Beginner" still seem to play somehow faintly within the alleyway. There are two young girls waiting for you there. One might look famiiar while, unless you saw her the once before, the other will not. But they certainly seem like siblings. Especially with the way the older one protectively clutches the younger sister's hand.

Beyond them, the alley seems to continue on for a distance before fading into light. There's nothing too interesting about the alley itself. It's small and dingy, but devoid of items. There's a couple of crates to the right and a pipe laid a little to the left.]

What do you want?

[It's the older sister who speaks first and it's sharp and accusing.]

Sis-sis. . .

Be quiet, Sonata. We didn't do anything wrong.

I'm a bit lost right now. Can you tell me where we are?

Re: ALLEY WAY

[ihulk]

--Want? I don't want anything. Where are we?

Re: ALLEY WAY

[seaside_cherry]

Kanata? Sonata?

[ Glancing at that pipe. ]

Do anything wrong?

Re: ALLEY WAY

[metaphysicality]

[trying to comfort them by smiling] I don't want anything, I'm just lost-- [she breaks off as she realizes that it's Kanata]

Wait, Kanata, isn't that you? Don't you recognize me?

[she is so confused but not going to freak out just like that]

AKIBASTAR

[dramatispersonae]

[Once through the Alley Way you find yourself in an enclosed city. You're standing on a hill in front of a huge building. A dorm, you know instinctively. The turbine roars in your ear, but despite that it's peaceful.

As you get used to your surroundings the feelings of comfort and hope wrap around you. This is the place where our dreams come true, after all! But despite that, despite the intense amount of hope it seems to bring, there's also a sadness to it. A feeling of loneliness, confusion, and frustration. There seems to be an even amount of it, never quite tipping over each other yet.

There's a few places you could go from here and even without knowing the layout of the city itself, you seem to know the directions to head irregardless: the dorm just behind you and the concert hall. The streets, too, seem to be a viable option.]

Re: AKIBASTAR

[seasidelove]

[how ... jarring, because DES definitely can't be in Akibastar. '^'...

Glancing around to see if Kanata and Sonata are with her still.]

Re: AKIBASTAR

[glorious]

[looking around first to the two young girls he was just with]

Re: AKIBASTAR

[ihulk]

Whoa...you live in a place like this?

[do i still have little girls with me or are they gone]

Re: AKIBASTAR

[seaside_cherry]

[What. This is not a battle. Turning to look back down the alley]

Sonata? Kanata?

Re: AKIBASTAR

[sparringtime]

--Hello?

[oh, they're gone...]

Weird.

[heading towards the dorms]

Re: AKIBASTAR

[hunting]

[ Going to go see what this concert hall is all about... ]

Re: AKIBASTAR

[metaphysicality]

[looking around and sighing when she sees the girls aren't with her]

C'mon girl you gotta stop letting this stuff get to you so easily.

[her mood seems to brighten regardless, courtesy of the surroundings. after a moment she starts walking towards the nearest street, meaning to get a sense of where she is]

CONCERT HALL

[dramatispersonae]

[When you arrive at the concert hall the holographic displays show various members performing today. From here you can even hear the concert going on! But today you're not performing and you know that, so instead your duties lie elsewhere.

You could go watch the concert if you wanted, but there's the distinctive knowledge of knowing you're not supposed to be. Today the Understudies have practice while the members perform.]

Re: CONCERT HALL

[seasidelove]

[... :|a

to the practice room.]

Re: CONCERT HALL

[glorious]

[...will watch for just a little bit right now.]

Re: CONCERT HALL

[seaside_cherry]

[OH NO I'M LATE FOR PRACTICE, running to the practice rooms]

DORM ROOM

[dramatispersonae]

[The dorm room is pretty cute and simple! There's two beds, two desks, and two dressers. Nothing really looks out of the ordinary at first sight and there's no feelings of discontent in this room, at least. There's several pictures of one of the desks that must be distinctly Kanata's as one of them features Aather's Camelot. Here, too, there seems to be ripped up pictures. . .

On the bed nearby might be a familiar idol outfit, the one Kanata designed specifically for representing all of the teams in Aather. There also seems to be a collection of holographic cards on the bed as well. Each with different members of 00 on them.

On the window sill of the room is two vases of flowers. One noticeably has sixteen flowers each with a different particular color. The vase next to it has far more flowers-- some of them still buds, others blossomed, and then some in full bloom that seemed to have wilted but somehow still give off radiance. Some of the flowers seem to be separated from others, too.

There's still plenty in the room to check out and there seems to be other occupants in the room. This time it's a girl with purple hair she seems to be humming a song to herself. And a younger one, now familiar, rolling around the other girl's bed making weird animal noises. . . ]

--Uh.

[pausing to see if they notice him]

FLYING GET

[dramatispersonae]

[You find yourself aboard a ship in an air lock. Anti-gravity isn't on here, but if you wish to explore once out of here you'll find it on. There's a few rooms here but none of them seem particularly interesting this time: a practice room, a dining/meeting area, a back stage, a clinic, and the command room. There's also another room that you can't seem to name. You seem to know the layout of the ship without even trying.

Nothing immediately seems to really be amiss on the ship, but there does seem to be people to talk to.]

Re: FLYING GET

[seasidelove]

[TO THE COMMAND ROOM]

ATTACK CONCERT

[dramatispersonae]

[With the Flying Get shaking from the explosions you get the command: Go down to the planet below! Sing with everything you have and protect the fans and people below. Just as quickly you find yourself with a microphone. You know this, too, will turn into a saber to fight with if you need it to. And then, briefly, you're in an aircraft that quickly turns into a flying stage-- a riser-- once your in the skies.

That's where you find yourself now: With the song Beginner once more playing you're surrounded by 00 members singing as explosion after explosion attacks the Flying Get. And, of course, it's not like they aren't aiming for you too. But it seems in the costume you're wearing and some sort of gel that you have you're not really getting injured. . .?

But the people below can and will and you know that. There doesn't seem to be a way to fix this. Here, though, you also see Kanata as she normally is. Except this time she's attacking the DES forces with all of her might. . . ]

Re: ATTACK CONCERT

[seasidelove]

—Kanata!

RETURN

[truecaptain]

[You're back to where it all started. This time there is no little girls to greet you. The pipe and boxes still rest in their places and the rest seems to be mostly unchanged. Except now the path to the other side seems to be much, much longer than it did before. And in the middle. . .

This time it seems that she's the only obstacle in your way. Even so she's a tiny thing she seems to be the biggest thing one their is.]

Re: RETURN

[seasidelove]

... Takamina!

TRUE HEART

[truecaptain]

[The rainbow lies before you once more. This time you're on a train, although the train is what's taking you to your destination. It's only a few moments before the train pulls into a station. Once you step off you find yourself in a back stage. The neon lights seem to be here, too, but the array of colors has changed. Once more Aather colors have joined the fray of lights.


Beginner can be heard changing into another song in the distance. First to River and then to Kibou ni Tsuite. Here there seem to be several couches for resting, although people aren't what occupy them right now. Overall, it's a pretty standard backstage.

If you travel towards the main stage the scene is an impressive sight. After your eyes become used to the intense lights hundreds of people seem to be in the concert hall. On stage is the idol group you probably know well by now.

Here, Kanata is once more. This time she's leaning against the wall and dressed for a concert once more. Except, unlike the last few times you've seen here, she seems to be content.]
