001 ☽ audio (forward-dated 05/17)
[Sometime during early evening... Maybe you opened an app on your bracelet to listen to some tunes, or maybe you're on the subway or out shopping when you hear a soft, somewhat soothing voice ring through some speakers broadcasting public radio:]
"Are we live?"
[Just as calm and serene as that voice, a jingle plays, eventually fading into background music as the voice begins speaking again.]
My esteemed peers, a good evening to you. From planet Earth's 765 Productions, I am Takane Shijou, your host for tonight's installment of Are We Live? Friday. A slight deviation of a highly successful television program back in my home world, I hope you will allow me to accompany you during your evening commute with some mild entertainment.
[For the first ten minutes of the show, Takane serenely gives a quick rundown of recent events, such as the success of the festival a few weeks back and how she enjoyed performing there. She also acknowledges the moon cycles and expresses concern over how everyone is faring with that, and hopes they can manage through it. There's also a point where she goes on a nonstop tangent on the latest ramen shop she decided to visit, almost like a hamfisted promotional ad, but she's very sincere about how she loves her bowl of soup and noodles.
Finally, she gets to the more interactive part of the program:]
... It is now time for the segment that management has decided to label "Hair it Out." [There's a brief pause as some mumbling can be heard in the background.] Hm? Oh? Oh dear. I see. My apologies, my dear listeners, but it seems it is actually called "Air it Out". In this segment, you may call in and speak whatever it is that you wish to release from the confines of your heart. Whether it is an announcement or to seek advice, I shall listen well and attempt to offer my input to the best of my ability. If this interests you, please the studio a call at...
[She provides the necessary contact information, and waits. This is where you, fellow moonblessed, step in. Feel free to give her a ring, share your thoughts, your darkest secrets, your worries by commenting to this subthread. She'll be here to listen to it, as will everyone else in Lunatia.
For those who would like to speak with her off-air after the broadcast, she's easily accessed via the network like everyone else.]

AIR IT OUT
((ooc: Please note that any replies to this will be treated as an audio-only call that will be broadcasted on air, which means anything spoken here can be heard and acknowledged by the general public.))
i'm sorry,
[This sounds like he's making a joke, but he isn't.]
Oh, but I should introduce myself, right?
[He's clearing his throat like he's about to start yelling, and odds are he absolutely will if Takane lets him.]
thank you for this
My, good evening. Though I am aware of who you are, if you wish to introduce yourself to those listening, you may feel free to do so.
[Go off, dude. This should be fun.]
no subject
[Ah, but it's too late. He's already messed up. He clears his throat and moves on, preferring not to dwell on or acknowledge that it happened.]
...Ch-Children of man! Know that you are hearing the voice of he who can tame the fiercest of whirlwinds, and bring to a frenzy even the gentlest breezes...even the very winds that carry my voice to your ears are under my command! I, Griiiimnir, am always on the air!
[He'll figure out what that phrase means someday.]
How was that?! I didn't have a lot of time to practice...
no subject
Fufu~ Most splendid. I do believe many would be pulled in by your charisma, Lord Grimnir. [To put it gently, anyway.] I take it that you are interested in becoming a host for this segment as well, if you shall "always be on-air"? You certainly do have quite the natural disposition to entertain others, so I would not mind welcoming you to the studio with open arms.
no subject
[That wasn't what he was trying to say, but it's not an unwelcome offer by any means. It seems like it might be fun!]
You mean it?! I'd been meaning to thank you for helping me during the festival, so if I can be helpful to you too, that'd be soooo cool!
[He pauses to clear his throat. The shift in his demeanor is practically palpable through the airwaves.]
That is, I'd be honored to learn more about the art of entertainment from you...
no subject
But of course. With your penchant for theatrics, I've no doubt you would be a rather exciting pupil, if you are fine with someone like me for a teacher. [To put it mildly.] Fufu... I've never had a student before, I do hope that my skills are up to par in being an adequate source of knowledge for you.
no subject
he doesn't introduce himself, so too bad (?) for anyone who doesn't already recognize it, but the voice is decidedly androgynous and contains gradually increasing levels of distress and misery!! ]
Ah, good evening, Miss Takane.
The thing I wish to "hair out" and release from my heart... is how terribly I miss those who are dear to me in my own world...
I want to see them so badly, and moreover, I know that my disappearance must have caused problems for them. Some of those problems may be very, very serious.
And yet, if I were to return, I...
Well, the situation was very complicated. On the whole, in many ways, I think... I would prefer to stay here.
—but doesn't that mean I am abandoning those who should have been able to rely on me? Is it really all right for me to simply live a carefree life in Lunatia while others are suffering, and my duties go unfulfilled??
...Of course, there is nothing I can do about it one way or the other... and so I have tried to avoid dwelling on it... but that is often not possible.
At least for me.
Maybe there is some kind of trick to it.
no subject
Fufu... Anonymous-sama, I am sure there are several Moonblessed here that miss their friends and family in their home world. I, myself, am one of those people.
I also understand the feeling of having an urgent matter to attend to back home, yet unable to do much but wait. I too am bound by a duty, a mission that I have long trained since birth for, and feel that I must resume seeing to as soon as I receive a chance.
However, just because I had staunchly made the decision so quickly does not necessarily mean you have to. It is not inherently bad to consider one's own personal happiness, such is but nature. Perhaps, if possible, there is a way to speak with the Lunatian government and arrange your return to this land once your duty is fulfilled? They do seem to be quite welcome to us staying here, after all.
no subject
Hmmmm.
...
Anyway, do you really have such a mission? That you've trained for since birth? What could it be?
no subject
[Nope, none of her personal information's gonna be aired out for the general public. Smooth subject change is go.]
You seem very fond of Lunatia, Anonymous-sama. I confess, I do feel quite at home here as well. Is there anything in particular about it that you like?
no subject
And yourself?
no subject
You can easily see such in the food they serve here. I am surprised they have dishes similar to ones from where I had been before, yet there are unknown ones as well!
