[This is it. He briefly mentioned it to Tenn and Ryuu, and it's time. They've been here long enough, and the time to move is now. So, with a upbeat vocal-less track playing from his cell phone in the background, the former Sexiest Man in Japan comes on screen. He has silver hair like moonlight and deep gunmetal eyes, with cat-like pupils. Oddly enough, he's not Cordis.

He's dressed to the nines and has a serious, yet optimistic expression.]

Good evening. I'm Gaku Yaotome, leader of top Japanese idol group TRIGGER.

[He takes a moment to bow politely, like he would do for any intro video. Even if his social skills are lacking at other times, he has the business on this front down pat. Standing upright again, he offers a faint smile.]

Our other members are Tenn Kujo and Ryuunosuke Tsunashi. We'll be in your care. The music you're hearing is a preview of our debut single, "Diamond Fusion". This song means a lot to us, so I hope you'll enjoy it as much as we do.

Our idol activities here may just be beginning, but we'll be sure to capture your attention.

"A live as stimulating as the first time..."

We'll do our best to bring it to you. Look forward to it.

[He makes the TRIGGER gun hand sign, poses for a moment with that, then the screen goes black and there's a quiet, whispered "bang". It's actually kind of cool...]

[ She was going to say something but she honestly forgot what it was. Music in Japan is so different from what she's used to.

But then he pulls the gun gesture and her video ends up coming out with her trying to cover up a laugh by ducking her head to the side. ]

If you moved your hand like that firing a real gun you'd completely miss.

[Stone cold stare, slight turned down corners of mouth. Unimpressed.]

Did you think that was supposed to be like a real gun?

[Are you a moron.

Gaku has no tact, sorry.]

Hmmmm. Depends. Do you think it's cool to imitate something wrong?

[ She has no problem with him being a jerk. She's used to jerks. She can roll with it, but she's not going to roll over. She was going to show him better form after a bit of teasing if he wanted her to but he seems so serious, of course she's going to double-down on where she started. ]

It's a dance move. It's not supposed to look like I'm using proper trigger discipline or anything.

[Actually she was... kind of the jerk first, so he's just giving as good as he gets. Who teases random strangers on the first line? He literally thinks she was making fun of his group's hand sign, and that won't fly with him.]

If I wanted to act like I was really shooting a gun, I would.

[ She was definitely being a jerk first.. she just doesn't really see it that way. She also has no idea it's his signature move. ]

So what's it supposed to look like? I'm not super familiar with this whole.. thing.

[ That's an actual genuine curiosity though. Everything about his music sounds new to her. The music in her world is pretty intensely different and she's never been in a situation where she's gotten into hobbies. The only dancing she knows she learned for a mission and it was just a slow dance, honestly. She really does think it looks super froofy. ]

Well...

[Okay, how to make this point while not... proving her point? But? Also? It's a different point? Hold on, Gaku has to think for a second.]

It's just the hand gesture people make for "gun" here. As if your hand is the gun. Now that I think about it, it's kind of... upside down, isn't it.

[Huh. He's looking at his hands for a second and trying to figure out how to make a better gun. Nothing's coming.]

What "thing" are you not familiar with? Dancing? It's probably different in different places...

I guess that'd be kind of..

[ She thinks about it for a second, then reaches behind her to pull out a pair of somewhat odd-looking revolvers. Then she flips then around like she's going to surrender them, then uses her pinkies to make an upsy downsies type move. She doesn't actually pull the triggers, of course. With a straighter gun type like a glock or something, she guesses she could see it. Sort of. ]

I guess you could pretend to surrender and then fire that way. You'd get the element of surprise, that's for sure.

[ She shrugs and puts them down. She's obviously got her phone on something else. SHe doesn't like holding it while she talks unless she's on the move. Right now it seems like she's just hanging out in her living room. ]

Dancing, your... entire style of music. I've never heard anything like that. Is all Japanese music like that?

[ Everything about her world is harsh, the primary forms of music are rock, rock-rap, rock-opera, and combat jazz apparently. ]

[This hand sign not making sense is going to bug him. Damn.But hey, she's armed, and he's currently and usually not, so... she's pretty cool on that front. Maybe she's from a place that has a lot of fighting...?]

Not all of it. There's a lot of genres, but in our Japan there was an idol boom, so there's even special awards shows for idol music as a genre. We just won an award ourselves, before this, actually. It's pop, I guess? If you want to call it that. "Pop" is just "popular" anyway.

Are you guys going to have a concert here?

[ She's never been to a concert.. there are some people she would like to drag, but she doesn't really know what it would be like. Street performers don't really count, she thinks, and she can actually afford things in this world more easily than anywhere she's been before. Of course she's curious. ]

[He brightens up a bit; this is obviously an exciting topic. While he still comes off as a little distant, he's truly delighted by this, and it's obvious.]

Yeah, and it's coming up pretty soon. We should have the date locked in by tomorrow. Keep an eye out; I think we'll hand our fliers and put up some posters. And some ads. Sorry I don't have the date yet.

My boyfriends are from Japan, so as long as you guys are good I want to take them, so save me three really good tickets. Please.

[ She tacks on the please, but it is genuine. Her manners just aren't always at the forefront when she's focused. He at least seems passionate, and the sound didn't sound bad from the preview.. This will be fine. ]

[PLURAL boyfriends? Damn. Work it. He's not sure if he respects that or questions that but. Work.]

There's never a bad seat with us. We'll play to every single member of the audience. Whether you're front row or meters away. But I'll save you some, definitely. Thanks for being interested in us.

Okay. I'll pay for them obviously, too. How much are they usually?

[ It's so weird to ask that.. considering she's spent her life not being able to afford anything, then committing crime to afford things. She's gone straight(ish) now, or she's trying to, so she has to actually plan ahead. She can't just grab someone's wallet if she's short.. ]
