Hello! My name is Lee Gyu-hyuk, I'm a recent arrival. I'm from South Korea, which is on Earth for those of you who are unfamiliar. It's so nice to meet people from other worlds here.

Before I arrived here, I was on a televised contest for musicians. I enjoy music, and was studying it prior to the show. I was wondering if anyone has studied music at the Lunatia Academy and whether you have any advice for someone who would like to do the same. I would really appreciate any thoughts you might have! :]

In the meantime, I am looking for a job. I understand that several moonblessed own businesses. I'm a hard worker and I learn quickly. If anyone is looking to hire another moonblessed, I would like to be considered.

Okay, I think that was everything! Before I go, let me leave with a(n 80s inspired) question:

What’s the most embarrassing fashion trend you used to rock?

[ He obviously can't help with the other stuff, so. ]

tbh the short hair was embarrassing at first
but I definitely don't miss wearing red contacts for hours

[scholarshipping]

[ ah....the short hair...that's what he thinks was bad about all his fashion choices. i see.... ]

Contacts are bad enough when you have to wear them to see.
I've heard the color-correction ones are even worse. Did they hurt?

[showended]

[ His plague doctor tattoo is very cool, thank you. You know he still wears his cross earrings. And the belts on his jacket. And the studs.... his fashion sense is bad, Gyu-hyuk. ]

after a while, yeah
I used to swap them out before concerts, then take em off as soon as we were done
but if were shooting promos I had to wear them all day

Welcome! It's a little hard to get used to a new place, but I hope Lunatia is treating you well.
I'm Eli Clark, a Seer. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lee.
I haven't really attended the local Academy, but I imagine it wouldn't do you any harm to check it out. If you've studied music back in your homeland, then learning about a new place's music just sounds fascinating, wouldn't you think?

( music is fun!!!! lunatia has so much to offer... )

Oh, and I'm afraid I'm not too keen on fashion... I haven't really worn much outside of a robe in a long time.

[scholarshipping]

Maybe you should bring them back out for Halloween. It would be the perfect look.

[ now he's just teasing. ]

[scholarshipping]

It's a pleasure to meet you, too, Mr. Clark.

I agree! I'm looking forward to the opportunity of learning more about this place. The pop music they have here is kind of similar to things have heard before, but a little older. It looks like BTSB* is really popular right now?

[ Yes, BTS............B* ]

I guess if you're a Seer, that makes sense! Doesn't it get hot sometimes, though?

[showended]

[ cute tho... do-yoon is blessed, even if he's getting teased for his awful taste. ]

hey, it's not for halloween!
I had an image to maintain!

[profecia]

So it seems. Their music isn't entirely what I'm into, but under the right mood, it can be quite enjoyable.
And most importantly, it's not quite like what I've heard at home. I wish I could ask them what has inspired them to make their songs...

Haha. It does a little, yes. Britain has never been too hot on summers, and I lived in a village with enough trees to keep us chill.
Do you think I should find new clothes?

I'm not familiar with Lunatia Academy's music program but seeing as I teach at the Academy I'm sure I could look into it for you. What in particular is your music experience?

[scholarshipping]

That would be great. What do you teach?

I was a couple years into an applied music degree back home. I sing and write my own songs. On BStars, we mostly sang pop music, but in school we covered a lot more.

[glossophobia]

Mathematics. I substitute other courses on occasion but that's my primary subject. My name is Rosho Tsutsujimori by the way. I'm sorry for not introducing myself first.

[ Ah... sounds like an idol. ]

There's also a talent agency located in level 2 of the city but I'm not sure how the business has been doing lately. It might still be worth checking out for yourself however. Having television experience is a major benefit if you want to turn your skills into a career, that is if it's what you're interested in.

[scholarshipping]

I know.
Masquerade was really cool. And hardcore? Is that right to say, or do people not say that in real life?

[scholarshipping]

It's nice to met you, Mr. Tsutsujimori.

[ Yes...he's an idol ]

That's good to know, too. Thank you. I'm not sure if it's something I want to continue here. I wouldn't mind having a regular job for awhile.

[showended]

if u have to ask...... don't
I'm glad u thought I was cool tho

I like ur old style too
as well the one from bstars
u look good in anything

[scholarshipping]

That's really sweet of you to say. I'm not really sure I had much of a style before BStars, though. I just wore whatever was most functional.

[scholarshipping]

Do they ever use social media? Maybe you could ask them!

[ Use prisma twitter and @ BTSB*!! ]

Having a place like that sounds nice. If it is comfortable for you, I think you should wear what you like. But if you are too warm, you could try something like your style but a little different. I've heard PrismaPlace has some really nice clothes! I'm not very good at picking them out, though. My friend Do-yoon might be a better resource for that.

[showended]

u look cute in glasses tho
tbh

[ This is a public network... thank god it's not Phater.

He's still embarrassed typing that out, though. PDA... ]

[scholarshipping]

Oh, thank you!

[ It is seriously scary to PDA on the network like this but....he did it, he replied. ]

[glossophobia]

Tired of the camera? It happens, so I wouldn't blame you if that were the case.

[scholarshipping]

It would just be nice to have a fresh start. And I would like to finish my degree.

[ he's a little nervous still about just publicly talking about stuff like this even if it literally doesn't matter anymore. still, he'd prefer to talk one on one with Rosho than slander BStars all over the network, so the rest of his message is private. Maybe that's the biggest testament to the hold Bstars had on all of them -- even a world away, it still matters to him whether he shittalks them in public. ]

If I can be honest...it can be a lot of pressure.
I am really grateful for the opportunities that I had back home, and I know that I am very lucky.
At the same time, I'm not sure if I'm really cut out for that kind of thing.

private

[showended]

sorry if this is too much
I can't tell with this place
doesn't seem like people can share posts like on Phater but I
it feels kind of nice to just say what I mean instead of holding it back

[scholarshipping]

I think it's really sweet. I guess I'm just still so used to how things were on BStars, I'm sorry.
I like that you're so affectionate it means a lot to me. ^^

[showended]

I figured, I don't want u to feel like u have to show off or anything
or that I'm showing off either!
it's just the truth u look really good in glasses
u don't have to apologize
🖤🖤🖤
that's good to know tho
don't tell anyone I'm the type who sends heart emojis
I know u won't realistically but

[ They're black because black is Cool. ]

A televised music competition...! I'd love to hear more about that sometime, since it may overlap a little with my work back home.

I'm Sougo Ousaka, and I've been working as an idol both here and back home. It's a pleasure to meet you.

I can't say I'm familiar with the academy itself, but I've been studying music in my own time, and do side work as in-house composer and audio engineer for one of the talent agencies here. While it's not a professional course, I have plenty of online lessons and resources I'd be happy to send your way.

What type of music are you trying to study? Singing, songwriting, instruments, mixing, producing... Whatever you're interested in, I'll try to help however I can.

[scholarshipping]

It sounds like our experiences might be a similar. Our show, Buried Stars, featured public contestants with a variety of musical styles. It was getting to be really popular, our season was the fourth season and it was the biggest they'd done yet.

[ yes......they are kpop idols ]

That's great that you've found time to study even while working like that! I studied applied music before, but I wasn't able to finish my degree. While I was on BStars, I wrote all of my songs, too. I find that part really relaxing, but the singing is nice too. I can play a little piano, but I'd like to improve my skills.

Finishing my degree would be nice. I took time off for the show, but I really liked being in school. Regardless, I'd love to hear your music sometime. If you have a show coming up, you should let me know :]
