Good night my fellow Moonblessed ★

It's come to my attention that an acquaintance from my world is having difficulty finding moonlacing partNERS. I wouldn't be fit to call myself his classmate if I let him be turned to crySTAL, but due to his shyness I decided to take it upon myself and assist on his behALF.

So without further ado I would like to introduce Makoto Yuuki-kun~



Like myself he is an idol in our WORLD, albeit he places very little faith in himself and can be quite TIMID. But despite that unassuming and pure face he's a hard worker with many skills that would make him good compANY. He will treat you gently and would do anything you ASK, but beware of his abilities should you want to challenge him at video GAMES. He also makes very pleasant faces when flustERED.

If you find yourself smitten please don't hesitate to reach out to me and I can ensure that arrangements are MADE~

[This is so incredibly awkward and out of his comfort zone that he's tempted to skip over it entirely, but...]

Idol?
Like a singer?
Both of you?

[spellspeak]

That is corRECT. The school we attend specializes in cultivating and training IDOLS, although we are in different UNITS.

[restringing]

That's amazing
I'm in a band back home
But I haven't met anyone else who does music here
And I don't know much about idols or idol music

Um...
I'm dating someone so I can't offer too much
But I want to learn about idols
So if it's ok, I can hold hands or something in exchange for talking about music or idols

Is that not enough?

[spellspeak]

Oh? Do you play an instruMENT?

There are quite a few others from our school HERE. And I appreciate your understanding of equivalent exchANGE, so I'm sure Yuuki-kun would agREE.

But if for some reason he has reservations I would also assIST.

[restringing]

I play guitar and sing
But I'm still new to music

A whole school for idols is different from what I'm used to
Nobody's ever told me much about idols
So I want to learn about the kind of music you sing
And what kind of sound it has

Um... I don't want it to seem like I'm not okay with helping for the sake of being nice
It's good that you're helping your friend
But I thought an exchange might be a good idea
Since I want to ask a lot of questions anyway

[spellspeak]

I suppose to those outside the industry it must seem like quite a mystery and even something glamorOUS.

There's no need to explain yourSELF, like I said I appROVE. One must value their time and that of others so you offering an exchange means you are a decent person not wanting to intrude upon STRANGERS. That is admirable and worthy of PRAISE. Good boy~

But know that depending on the questions you ask you might not enjoy the answers you recEIVE.

[restringing]

Glamorous... I never really thought of it like that
It's probably stressful and hard behind the scenes
And takes just as much work and practice as playing in a band
But it might be glamorous on stage
I want to know what kinds of views you've seen while performing

Good boy?
Um... thank you
I guess?

That's okay
I just want to learn
I'm Mafuyu Sato

[spellspeak]

You're correct about all of those THINGS. It can be quite brutal and stressFUL, and both the industry and those you thought you could trust could sacrifice you to the wolves at any moMENT.

Of course I can only imagine that in a situation like yours betrayal is just as possiBLE. Along with many other STRUGGLES.

I'm Natsume Sakasaki.

[restringing]

The professional music industry sounds rough
Bands have arguments too
Even indie groups like mine
I've heard stories from people about bands breaking apart
But I'm having fun

Um... is Sakasaki-kun ok?
Nice to meet you
I don't really know anyone here yet
So I mean it

[spellspeak]

As long as you are having fun and following your heart and instincts then you are unlikely to be lead astray.

That's just FINE.

If you have any questions or ever would like advice don't hesitate to ASK. I'm also a fortune-teller so aiding those in need is just as much my job as performING.

[restringing]

Yeah
I hope it stays that way

A fortune-teller?
I don't know much about stuff like that
You don't know anything about if people from home know we're gone, do you?

[spellspeak]

I don't know that unfortunATELY. I have heard that there are people who have vanished from this place only to reaPPEAr, but I'm not sure about what sort of things they return home TO.

[restringing]

Okay
Thanks
Sorry for asking out of nowhere

What kind of fortune telling do you do?

[spellspeak]

There's no need to apologIZE. It's natural to be concerned over those left behIND.

I mostly perform divination through my crystal ball but I can do a few other methods if requESTED.

[restringing]

[SORRY, HOLD THE PHONE.]

Crystal ball?
It's real magic?!

[amodelidol]

Hi! Yes we're both idols. I'm part of a group called Trickstar, it's four of us. Some groups have five members, some have three, and there's a solo unit too. We all specialize in different styles of music based on the theme of our group.

[restringing]

My band has four members too
It's a good number of people, I think

So even idols have different kinds of music?
Will you tell me about it?
I can moonlace with you

[...]

Something simple you won't be embarrassed by
Is that ok?

[amodelidol]

four people are pretty good
yes we do! sure i'll tell you about it

which one did you want to learn about first?

yeah that's fine! thank you!

[restringing]

The kind of music you sing
Or the kind you like the most

You're welcome
I know this is awkward
But I hope it helps

[amodelidol]

Hmm, let's see with our songs we like for our audience to have fun so we have energetic and hooks that you can sing along to. So we have a light sound, but with beats that will make you dance!

so i guess the category would be pop or light rock

the kind of music i like hmm anything catchy one of my friends plays guitar so he's been introducing me to rock and that's pretty good too

Knowing that there's someone else I can go to helps a lot
It's really awkward isn't it? i'm glad that holding hands can do it too

[restringing]

I always thought idols just played pop music
So it's new to me that there are different genres
Will you show me sometime?
I can show you my band's music too if you want

Rock is good
I think I like most music
There's always something interesting about what people recommend to me

Holding hands isn't so bad
It's comforting

[amodelidol]

I'd love to! I can sing some of my group's songs and my solo if you want
i'd love to hear your band's music! what do you play?
listening to the different groups at my school has introduced me to a lot of different types of music too
whenever i get a recommendation i find another type of music i like so i'm always glad when someone wants to give me a recommendation

It does feel good
It always helps me when I get really scared or nervous

[restringing]

That would be great
We're, um... alt rock, I think
I sing and play guitar

I think I just like music in general, no matter what it is
And the different emotions in it

Yeah
I miss it sometimes
So it might be nice for a change
I hope you meet good people through this

[amodelidol]

Oh I've listened to a couple alt rock songs I liked them
i would like to hear what you play too

that's one of my favorite things about going to a show
there's so many emotions that you can feel in the song it surprises me every time

Did you hold hands a lot back home?
Thanks! I really worried when Sakasaki-kun told me what he did, but I'm glad he did now
I've been meeting some nice people through it

[restringing]

I have my guitar with me, so I can play for you
We can share our music with each other

At home, I work part time at a live house
So I get to see a lot of small shows
The stage is amazing whether I'm standing on it or watching from the audience

Yeah, with my boyfriend
But I don't know anyone here and I'm bad at making friends
I didn't know if I wanted to try at first
But I don't think it's so bad
Getting close to people
Even just a little
