Seventh Punch

[craftingrebel]

[For tonight's entertainment Maoh will be attempting to use Kanji's gear as a surf board! He toddles his way on over to the pool but before he's able to use the device as a floaty he slips on a tiny puddle and falls in instead. Unfortunately, as the gear is on the ground all the viewers can see is the sky above. Though-- if you listen carefully you can hear the Pichu's small, yet frantic splashing. However, as time goes on the splashing noises start to decrease.

A couple of minutes pass as a dark blur zooms by the gear and a big splash is heard a few seconds after. Up pops on the screen is a very wet, very out of breath, very disgruntled looking Kanji.]

D-Dammit Maoh. I--I told you to stay away from the pool.

[The small Pichu he has in his lap looks a bit lifeless. Though it may look bleak, Maoh is breathing. He pushes his damp bangs out of his face.]

S-Shit... I hope it's... not to late. I don't... I don't even know what to do. [by this point it looks like he's going to have a panic attack.] Those.... those c-centers would help, right? Shit why did this have to happen!?

I would find out what it is.

It was creepy!!

[action]

[craftingrebel]

I'm pretty sure it thought the same thing about you.

[craftingrebel]

[he snickers.]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... Um, but not to change the subject or anything...

[ don't lie, Rise. ]

[action]

[craftingrebel]

Hmm? What?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

It's kinda weird... we spent practically a whole year running around and fighting and being together, but there's still stuff I don't know about everyone.

[action]

[craftingrebel]

Well the same could be said for just about everyone else. 'cept senpai...

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Yeah.... but maybe, I should have been talking about stuff like that with everyone else, too. Maybe it wouldn't have burdened Senpai so much...

[action]

[craftingrebel]

Well... we got the time now. Why don't we get started?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

[ a pause-- and then a tiny nod. It's Kanji; she trusts him with her life, with far more than she'd trust with most people. ]

Why not?

[action]

[craftingrebel]

[he nods.] So... how we gonna do this? We take turns askin' questions or somethin'?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Sure. Wanna go first?

[action]

[craftingrebel]

Alright. [he rubs his head.] So what got you into bein' an idol?

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

... A relative entered me into this contest; I passed the first round without even knowing.

[ a pause. ]

I... didn't actually want to be an idol.

[action]

[craftingrebel]

So... they didn't really ask you if you wanted to do this or not? Man, what a great relative.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

Mm, they meant well. And it was my choice whether to accept their offer or not.

[action]

[craftingrebel]

What made you decide to be an Idol? To... yanno accept the offer.

[action]

... [ and now Rise looks down at her lap. ]

It's stupid now, but back then, I thought... maybe if I appeared on TV, I'd be able to make friends.

[action]

[craftingrebel]

[he quirks his brow.] That ain't stupid. It's a legit reason, at least.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

How's it legit? When I debuted, people might've started talking to me, but it wasn't me they wanted to be friends with.

[action]

[craftingrebel]

I meant that it was better than wanting to be famous, or wanting to get rich.

[action]

[restardom.livejournal.com]

I'm not that full of myself, am I?

[action]

[craftingrebel]

No you aren't. You're different than those bimbos who are probably in it for the fame or some shit like that. Having friends is way better then being rich or famous anyways. At least you're truly happy with yourself. And can just-- I dunno, act like your plain goofy self around us.
