♫ 2nd Solo ♫

who: Mikumo and you!
what: Self-promotion is fun!
when: The entire month of August
where: Around the Quarantine
warnings: Nothing really, except for Mikumo being a troll



Ever since her announcement over the Quarantine's version of social media, Mikumo has been busy with her agent. In the past few weeks, she's been taking photos and meeting as many people as she can. There have been trips to venues, a baseball field, and certain stores to throw together a wardrobe worthy of Riverview's first idol.

In the week leading up to the River festival, posters for her appearances start popping up all over the place. (Samples are here: One, two, three, four, five, and six.) Dates and times are splashed across the posters, drawing attention to her best assets artistically. Of course, she is the one responsible for where they're all placed. She has final say on these sorts of things, agent or not.

After the festival, it's more performing in the clubs at night and plastering the town with her face.

When she's not out promoting herself, she's in her apartment, singing, writing and working on dance moves. To everyone on the third through fifth floors of the communal housing buildings, she's not sorry that her voice carries. However, she does take requests, so that's something.

However, she's so determined to get out there that she's not paying attention to where she's going. On more than one occasion, she bumps into a stranger and sends her papers flying. "Oh, I'm sorry! Are you hurt?"

[ He'd seen the posters stacked up everywhere and, since he knows Mikumo and spoke to her, there's a growth of pride swelling in his chest. She might reach a considerable achievement before he even does, but he's not bothered by that fact, since his own advancement in life had gone so much further in two months here than it ever did back home, and he's also proud of himself for it. He thinks it's still early to dream big.

As he stares at a few posters plastered on a building's wall, admiring Mikumo's beauty and perfect photogenic appearance, he's startled by someone bumping into him. Paper flies in front of his face and scatters to the ground. He looks down at them, then at the girl who's just asked if he's okay, and... oh. ]


Mikumo-chan! [ He brightens up instantly pumping his sleeve-covered fists with excitement. ] Wow, so you're the one putting up all the posters? You're pretty much everywhere!

[ Jyushimatsu chuckles, blushing a little himself because Mikumo is so much cuter when she's not behind a screen. Talking with a cute girl in general besides Totoko felt like a luxury to him back home, and he could only experience that luxury once when he met Homura.

Now it all seems so much easier. He rubs the back of his head. ]


I'm doing fine! And yeah, that's way more likely to attract people than spamming ads! Most people don't like spam!

[ He then remembers the papers scattered to the ground and hurries to pick them up. ]

Sorry for making you drop these! Give me a sec!

[ Generally, he's pretty bad with putting things in order, in every sense of the term. His thoughts are messy, his lifestyle is messy, his schedule is erratic, he ends almost every single day covered in dirt, and the way he's stashing those papers causes them to bend and crumple a little because although he's super ready to help, the way he goes about it is quite careless. He'll leave the job of straightening them out to Mikumo, satisfied with himself when he stands up and sees that the ground is now clear. ]

Done! And it's fine, I get distracted all the time!

[ Jyushimatsu nods instantly at the suggestion, so hard and excited he feels dizzy for a few seconds. He doesn't recall what he was even supposed to do for the rest of the day. ]

Free as a bird! I can totally help out! Just tell me where to go!

[ Jyushimatsu nods again with more convinction than before. He'll do whatever is asked of him as long as it's an easy to understand task. One could say he really likes being told what to do by the people he likes. Like a faithful dog of sorts. ]

Alrighty, just point me to where I should attach them and I'll do the job in no time at all!

[ He takes the EVIL stapler from her, running the task through his mind a few times so he won't forget and do something stupid as a result. Once sure he got everything memorized, he gives another enthusiastic nod. Doing a good action for someone sure brings his spirits higher, closer to cloud nine. ]

Stapling is fine! We'll do everything in no time with my speed!

[ When Mikumo is ready to leave, he'll bounce by her side and follow her lead. ]

It's clear that Alex wasn't quite paying attention as she walked briskly towards the coffee shop. Honestly, she always needed coffee and at the moment, there was too much blood in her caffeine delivery system. She almost dropped her bag when the other woman bumped into her, but some quick thinking (and reflexes that she was learning at the end of a stick, honestly) stopped her own papers from mixing with the girl who had talked into her ones.

"Don't worry about it!" Alex's voice is soft but warm, with a hint of a Canadian accent in it before she crouched down in order to help the girl collect her papers from the ground before they could blow away. "I'm fine. Are you okay?" She gave the woman another smile, offering up the papers that she'd saved from being lost to the litter pile.
11calls: Take a nap, Strand. You look worse than I do. (Driving.)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-08-23 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
To be fair, it was entirely an accident, because Alex definitely isn't the sort of person who plows into people on a regular basis. At all, really, and she does look apologetic as she attempts to gather as many of the fliers as she can as well. Holding the posters carefully so that they didn't end up any more crinkled, she offered them to the girl.

"I can imagine. Flyer putting up is never fun." She remembers from when she was in college, actually. "A bag does normally help though." There's a beat and Alex looks at what the flyers are for with a little smile. "If you want, I work for the news network, and I can put a plug in for your show with the community stuff!" A smile comes before Alex adds: "to make up for some of the posters you lost because of me being in a rush!"
11calls: is it true you went missing for five days? (questioning)

Alex takes the girl's hand and gives her a broad smile. "Alex Reagan, nice to meet you." It's clear that Alex means it, even if Alex's gotta Alex and she couldn't stop herself from asking the question that was on the tip of her tongue. At least she'd managed to hold off on it until after the introduction, which wasn't something that Alex was normally good at doing. She was too much of a reporter for that.

"An idol? Is that like being a rock star from where you're from?" It certainly seemed like it to Alex, but given how different worlds could be here, it seemed like the best thing to do was to actually ask the question.
11calls: (lol really)

[personal profile] 11calls 2018-08-25 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh wow, that's cool. So it's kind of like just being an all around celebrity there?" Alex is thinking of some people like it back home, even if she's failing at putting her finger on exactly one of them. So, instead she just focused on the woman before her.

"So is that like what your show is going to be like? As for the acting, do you know Loki? He owns a theatre here, and maybe someone you want to talk to!"

[personal profile] mutant_messiah 2018-08-12 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
"I think I'll live." Comes the gruff reply of Cable, the scattered papers lifting off of the ground and rejoining her stack. Yes, that was him that just did that. No he doesn't explain or act like anything is out of place.

"How bout you? Run around not paying attention like that is gonna get you hurt more than someone like me."

Cable has no issue treating powers/abilities like common occurrences; for him they are exactly that. Instead he engages the lovely pop idol in what is bound to be pleasant conversation.

"Might want to learn a little more dancing then." He's quietly amused--about as amused as a guy walking around with a bunch of guns and ammo strapped to him can be. "Strength of will is probably important in your line of work. It's good that you have it."
mutant_messiah: (Glance)

[personal profile] mutant_messiah 2018-08-21 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
"Don't think most people would." Cable agrees, content to stay put or move on--depending on what Mikumo wanted to do. "Is by yourself usually how you do things?" He sounds about as close to being impressed as the mutant could; to be honest Cable didn't know much about the world of pop.

It seemed like one of those genres where the less he knew, the better. Then again, he felt that way about a lot of music.
mutant_messiah: (Smirkish)

[personal profile] mutant_messiah 2018-08-24 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
He won't be telling her any different so long as she works smarter than harder when it's necessary. "Didn't know you were the lead. Like I said, pop isn't my genre." Music in general wasn't his thing; save for the huge names no one could escape.

Cable pauses just long enough to add, "But I should have figured you were."
