Drop feels

[notsogrimreaper]

It's really okay, Mun. It's been tough on you for a while. I understand.

...I mean, I really am going to miss everyone there, but we'll probably run into everyone again some day, right? Maybe you'll be able to pick up another game if you work hard in university! And there's still memes... though it'd be nice if you stopped getting me in trouble. It's bad enough in the Tower.

And don't worry about 'losing your muse'. I don't think you'll get rid of me that easily! I'm not going to leave a cute girl alone, especially one who needs some cheering up!

[...Ryoji please stop. Your flirting has gone too far.]

Comments

[notsogrimreaper]

Hm? Were you on some sort of team?

[Maybe it was some sort of all-girls sports team... Ryoji can dream.]

And I wouldn't deny you that! I'm Ryoji Mochizuki. Pleased to meet you, Mariko-chan! Sounds like you come from a long line of beautiful ladies.

[...He won't dare try to understand that if the subject comes up. His own canon's confusing enough.]

[idolfromabove]

I'm part of the idol group AKB0048! No matter where you are, we'll always come to see you. ♥

[Close enough, right? All the pretty girls.]

Call me Maririn! [She won't go so far as to say 'Mariko-sama' yet. You never know with this one.] Mm. It was really an honor to inherit the name. I couldn't be happier!

[notsogrimreaper]

Oh, wow! That sounds really cool! So do you do performances all over?

[It is close enough. He just wishes he could see a concert.]

Maririn then! So were the past generations all idols too?

[idolfromabove]

We do! It's a lot of hard work, but I wouldn't want to do anything else. Seeing other people smile makes all that work worth it.

[She nods.]

Every last one. It's a lot of pressure sometimes, knowing I have that to live up to, but I'm not going to let it get me down. It just pushes me to work even harder!

[notsogrimreaper]

I'm sure it does! I always thought I'd want a job that makes people smile.

[...Unfortunately, the closest thing he has to an occupation kind of does the opposite of that.]

I'm sure with all your hard work, you completely live up to expectations. Besides, I'm sure the last generations passed on more than just beauty!

[idolfromabove]

What's stopping you? There's nothing in the universe that should be able to do that.

[She nods. Mariko is saying so. This means challenge.]

They passed on a whole lot. I feel like I'm sharper, notice more things. I want to be the best I can be, give that passion to whoever succeeds me one day! But that's not going to be for a long time. I like who I am now. ♥

[notsogrimreaper]

Well...it's just that I don't really have a true existence in my world any longer.

Still, I can help out at the places I'm taken to, once in a while.

[When things don't go horribly wrong.]

I'm sure your friends like you this way as well. I hope you keep singing long enough that I'll get to see you in concert one day!

[idolfromabove]

But there's that girl up there that's awfully sweet on you. I'm sure you're a help to her! And a lot of people seem to think so, with your mun.

I don't plan to stop singing for a long time. Not till I've gone as far as I think I can, and it feels like I just got started. I'm sure we'll come to see you one day!

[notsogrimreaper]

S-Sweet on me? Well, I mean we are dating, but I don't know if she'll want to stay with me or anything, and me and my mun try to help, but who knows if we do anything?

[Sorry Mariko. He's not one to look at the facts when it comes to his good deeds.]

It would be great if you did come! But um... maybe not where I am right now. It's not the safest place, and a bad performance would be the least of your worries.
