♫ 2nd Solo ♫

[ikenai]

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?"

Right? People mistake me for a teen all the time! It's funny!

[ He's not offended in any way, unless they openly antagonize him for being a "kid". ]

I am totally legal for things like drinking! And I love beer!

[ikenai]

[She's the last person to judge anyone for not acting their age. His behavior doesn't impede her at all, so he's free to be himself.]

I've never had that before, so I can't offer an opinion. Besides, alcohol is usually frowned upon for idols.

Although, I know that the Captain and Major enjoy it at parties back home...

[yakyuuman]

[ Jyushimatsu nods in understanding. He can imagine how "dirty" it would be for an idol's image to drink unrefined stuff like alcoholic drinks. Milk and fruit juice are good alternatives he can get behind. ]

Beer is an end-of-all drink to have at parties, so I can relate with them! Had a load of beer parties with my brothers, myself! It's not for everyone though, and I understand!

[ikenai]

Isn't it full of empty calories? What's so good about that?

[yakyuuman]

It's fresh and delicious! It's gratifying for the body, until you get a hangover from it! [ HAHA. ]

[ikenai]

Ah, so there is a downside to it that you can see.

[Although, she sure does slip that little bit of info into the back of her mind to take out on Arad or Ernest if they ever show up. Isn't she sweet?]

[yakyuuman]

It's the price to pay for some fun! Definitely worth it! After all, being sick feels better when we're all sick together!

[ He's got his own view of these things. ]

[ikenai]

I'll have to take your word on that. Sadly, I can't afford to be sick. If I'm sick, I can't perform.

[yakyuuman]

Of course! And you're not supposed to drink, anyway! I'll raise a glass for you! [ How generous.

He looks around briefly. ]

Are we there yet? Getting thirstier and thirstier by the second!

[ikenai]

Maybe one day I will.

[But it's nice to see that she already has someone looking out for her. How cute.

She points to the cute cafe to their direct left and smiles.]

Right there. Come on. Maybe I'll get one of those fizzy drinks just once instead.

[yakyuuman]

[ That makes him grin wide, and he flashes a thumb up at her. ]

The fizzier the better! All in good spirit! Hustle, hustle!

[ And in they go, having a good time like drink buddies but with the twist of no alcohol consumed. ]
