[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...]

Fufu... lucked into some Chroma? That has me a little curious, you know?

[Playfully. He wonders what Gaku has gotten up to...]

In any case, that's the spirit to have, surely. I feel the same way about my fine. As strange as it might seem to some that I'm working on solo projects as well, it's also so that I can help lift them higher, you see.

If you're ever in need of Chroma, I wouldn't mind meeting up, you know? It would be simple to hold hands over tea. [Eichi.] It's mutually beneficial, so there's nothing owed, either.

[diamondfusion]

[HHHHHHHHHH. His face is so red.]

Stay curious. I'm not talking about it.

[He doesn't even know how close Ritsu and Eichi are... Oops.]

We'll all work on solo stuff, too. That's how you get the name out. One step at a time, you move forward, and then you can reach back and pull everyone along. And everybody does it a little differently.

[Eichi. You.]

I'll consider it. We'll definitely need a lot of chroma to pull this off. I'm not hurting for any right now, but after studio fees, costume supplies, venue rentals... Yeah, maybe I'll need a boost. Same goes for you, though. It's a deal.

[finethanks]

[Oh goodness, Gaku is adorable when he's red faced... Eichi can't help but laugh, a light thing he covers with his hand. But it's that, followed by that nice reassurance, and then a deal. Score, Chroma deals!!]

A deal, yay~. ♪ [Y...yay... Why does he say it with 'yay'...]

You'd really offer something like that as well? Thank you. I'll keep that in mind, as well.

[diamondfusion]

Actually, speaking of business--[AND NOT CHROMA.]--I've got a few things to talk over with you. Megumi wants to bankroll TRIGGER, and I'm trying to work out how we can get a permanent studio space for all the off-world idols and other performers who're interested instead. I figure it'll help everyone get ahead.

[finethanks]

Megumi-san? Could you mean the Megumi-san who lives in the DNA apartments like I do, perhaps? She's quite sweet, and helped as my doctor during an incident... She's multi-talented, isn't she?

[A soft chuckle.]

Still, that's a fine idea that I'm certain I could help with. Would you like to meet in person to discuss these things?

[diamondfusion]

Megumi... the cat. She's a cat person.

[He fumbles with how to describe her otherwise.]

She came from that other place, too. I knew her back then. She really saved my ass, so I feel bad asking her to do stuff here, but she's really excited about it, and we need all the help we can get, as a new corner of the industry.

[He nods.]

Yeah, actually. We can hold hands and have tea, or whatever. When are you free?

[finethanks]

That's her... She was there, as well? It never came up, and I had no idea...

[Huh. So there's at least a couple people who remember, but no one who seems to remember... him. That makes him pause for a long moment, but before he can get too lost in thoughts, he smiles.]

Let's see... I'm free as soon as tonight, but would that be too soon? I have the next few days cleared, so if you'd prefer that...
