[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...]

[Now she has to cover her cheeks because of his flattery! He's so bold when he says that.]

I can only hope to live up to your expectations! I work well with Megumi so I can help assist. Do not worry about anything else, you, Ryuu and Tenn will now be able to perform to your hearts content. I promise. Oh! I can help with costuming too.

[diamondfusion]

[It's not flattery! She's been great! He likes her quite a bit.]

Costuming? Is there anything you can't do? You might want to tell me now, or I'll expect miracles.

[A warm joke, obviously.]

[hoasen]

[NOOO, HE'S THE CUTE ONE! PLEASE! Also his compliments really make her embarrassed! But she likes them. Disaster.]

There are many things I can't do! I just learned them on the way...I can't smile while knowing I am, unlike yours. [His smile is so nice, while she only smiles when she doesn't even notice. Making her smile knowingly and it comes out Strange.]

And I can't sing and dance like you as well! You're talented, we're just going to be working together so that you'll be the best, no?

[diamondfusion]

What you can do is really going to help us out. Can you let me know how much you want as payment? I'll work something out to make sure you get it. Actually, we better figure out what all you're doing, first... Damn.

[He beams, though.]

We'll be the best. I swear.

[hoasen]

I can't say I am an expert on how much one gets paid as an agent or a manager. [Is it a lot? Not a lot? Will she make mad dosh? She'd take a paycut for them, however, either way, since she wants to see them succeed.] But yes, what would you like me to do?

[She manages that smile (oh look!)] I trust you will! I'll support you with all I can!

[diamondfusion]

I know our manager was practically working for free for a while, so I have no idea what a fair rate is. I'm sorry about that. I'll figure it out and get back to you. The real question is, what do you want to do? Or... maybe not want to do? If you're ready to take it all on, we won't go easy on you.

[Beautiful smile. He can't help but enjoy it.]

[hoasen]

My, what a generous manager! That is someone who is doing it for love. [How cute!!] I suppose it will also depend on how much you have to subsidise. I'll just need something that while you start off, to fund materials and venues. That is all! [See!] I can do quite a lot. I was in politics which is already a lot of work. Organising venues, talking with people, your costuming, I can do. I would help with your routines and music choices but I fear that you may have more experience in that than me.

[She doesn't notice. And she's getting excited.]
