❄️ video, un: angel
[ It's about 2 AM when this post goes up, because guess who's become nocturnal thanks to Cordis? Weiss has round cat ears atop her head and black rosettes down her neck and her shoulders. Her head and a little bit of her shoulders are the only parts of her exposed on the videos, but one might be able to see a white tail swishing from side to side every so often. She doesn't look sleepy at all... ]
This has been keeping me up all night. Someone told me a joke a few weeks ago and I didn't really understand it. Now, it's haunting me as I try to sleep. I'm pretty sure the only way I'll be able to finally get some rest is when I get it.
Anyway, it starts off with a well-to-do family comprised of a married couple, their two daughters, and their son. They enter the office of a renowned talent agent, hoping to get representation in the entertainment industry. The agent sits down with them and asks about their act. The father, the head of the family, clears his throat and explains his family's talents.
[ So far so good. She's only made one mistake with Emerald's messed up joke so far. ]
The family always wakes up very early in the morning because a noble mustn't be slothly. They somehow believe that only commoners do that... Which isn't true— even nobles wake up late sometimes... I happen to know a few—oh, right... Their servants will have prepared a nice breakfast for them—healthy, delicious, and nutritious so that they can maintain their excellent physical and mental health. They eat with proper table manners and put their table napkins on their laps, and they don't wear it as a collar. After breakfast, the children are to meet their tutors, while the father meets with his advisers for his schedule for the day. The mother prepares for the family's evening plans, which is to host a ball.
A few hours pass and the family meets again for lunch. They speak of their personal progress with regards to their daily activities, all vying for the approval of the head of the family. That was it, anyway... Why do heads of the families have to be so bossy? After lunch, the mother purchases some vegetables and meat at the farmer's market, while the children go on with their daily exercise. The father hears more details about the ball, and memorises the details of each guest one by one so that he can have a proper yet fake conversation with each one of them.
All of them revisit the estate for tea and begin the evening's final preparations. The mother and the children are also informed of their guests, and they're also given last-minute instructions by the father, on how to proceed with the ball. With that done, the father picks out which wine to pop first once the festivities have begun.
Guests begin to fill the ballroom, all looking very glamorous. They seem to enjoy the finger food that the mother has prepared... or was it their chef? Dinner, prepared by the head chef himself, is served soon after all the guests have arrived. The guests are seated at a collection of small tables with unfamiliar fellows, though spouses are always paired, so that each may make new acquaintances and they are prevented from becoming too boisterous with those they know well enough. It wouldn't be great if the attention fell on the guests and not on the hosts, after all. Anyway, once they start eating, the mother, who's conveniently seated away from her husband, grabs one of the guests' hands and puts it up and in her skirt.
[ She makes a face at that. These people call themselves nobles and yet the mother acts like... some sort of repressed lady. ]
After eating, the guests are served dessert wine and then stand up to mingle again. Each guest of honour approaches the father to discuss more serious business in the father's study, while the mother continues to entertain the other guests. The children are taken upstairs by their maids and are sent to bed. A few hours pass and all of the evening's business is taken care of, the mother excuses herself as well to retire for the night. The guests begin to take their leave, and the father oversees everyone who takes off. Once all the guests have gone, he adjourns to his quarters to ruminate upon the day's political machinations and groom himself. The head butler arrives with his evening whiskey, grabs the father's neck to suffocate him a little? The father... seems to like that kind of stuff, and when he... finishes, he ends the day.
[ At first, it sounds like she's done, but she remembers that there's something else that follows it. ]
Oh! And then the agent, who's been listening all this time, is so amazed by the talent of the family and agrees to sign them. He asks what the name of the act is, and the father replies "The Aristocrats."
... I still don't get it, even though I just told the whole thing from start to finish. Does anyone get it?
[ Someone explain to her what the joke is. She knows she's funny!! (She's not.) ]
((As a note, the joke came from Emerald, who heard it from Akashi. It's not as bad as the original joke, but in case you do look up the original, please be warned that there may be mentions of child abuse, incest, murder, and other themes.))

Oh, it's nothing big! I've just been... kinda putting together demos and then sitting on them? For months now? Maybe letting a few friends listen, but that's it... I haven't worked up the nerve to post or send any of it off anywhere, just some process clips on Prismagram. [ that grin turns more sheepish as she goes on, like she's well aware of how ridiculous she must sound. ]
I kinda thought you might know better if I've actually got something?

private like midway thru this
And yeah, but you still sing, Weiss! And you've got industry experience here! It's different. [ that second one doesn't have much to do with anything, probably, but whatever. there's still a difference to her mind between asking weiss what she thinks and just hoping her friends will be supportive.
she slides two files into weiss's dms, shifting the video conversation to private. she's playing around with very different styles for both of them. just vocals, piano, and guitar, along with some drum/basslines added digitally on the heavier one of the two.
gotta love how basically every seiyuu also sings and thats just part of the deal. makes finding Examples for the Vibes way simpler. ]

This is your voice, isn't it? What about the instruments?

[ She can sing, sure, and she can play the piano, but that's all she can do. Maybe some day, she'll release a stripped down song where it's just her and a piano... That might be nice.
Going back to Minako's concern, though— ]
I'm aware that there are some Moonblessed who have started their own record label. Are you familiar with Eichi Tenshouin? He might be able to help you get your music out there. Of course, I don't think it's bad to get the help of Prismals. That's what I've done.
no subject
Tenshouin-san, huh...? I don't know him, but I can reach out! Working with the Prismals could work, too... [ hmmm. ] Weiss, would you want to work on something together? It could be fun!
no subject
[ And she says that with all the genuineness in the world. It doesn't matter if they make good music or not— just being able to get to know more people through their craft is always exciting. ]
