incredibly nervous voice-testing...

[professionalstudent]

So you are nervous, Mundane-kun. I see! Such feelings are normal when you try your hand at a new task! Even I get nervous sometimes, hahaha! [Ah... Was that supposed to be supportive? It was more awkward than anything else.]

But you shouldn't let yourself discouraged before you even really begin! You simply have to try your best and work hard! Remember, giving up gets you nowhere!

"It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop!"

[I don't think the exclamation mark is really part of that quote...]

That's not the point!

So your mun is new at playing you too, Ishimaru-kun?

[Good now Naegi feels a little less lonely in his new character status.]

[professionalstudent]

Yes, that's right! Today is the first time she's actually put my account to some use. I'm glad I was finally able to convince her to give it a try! [Well, it's hard to ignore such a loud muse...]

[shslheroine]

I'm glad you were able to convince her. How do you like it so far?

[Sob it's just so nice to be able to talk to Ishimaru-kun again.]

[professionalstudent]

I'm liking it just fine! It's going to take some getting used to, but after Hope's Peak it is a vast improvement! Though this place is also very lacking in textbooks... [Yes, he actually looked.] But I'm sure I can rectify that soon enough!

[induality]

W-well soooomeone's excited.

( Then again when doesn't Ishimaru sound excited? )

[professionalstudent]

Of course I am! After all, how could I convince my mun to give it her all if I wasn't giving it 100% - no, 110%! - myself?

[induality]

Heheheheh... are you sure you really want that?

Why knows what kind of terrible things she might put you through...

( Fukawa pls.... )

[professionalstudent]

T-terrible? Ahaha... I'm sure she wouldn't make me go through something terrible, Fukawa-kun...! [Probably...] I have faith in her!

[diamondo]

That's the spirit, kyoudai! 'Course, I've never known you to not have the spirit when it comes to shit like this! You and your mun'll do just fine!

[professionalstudent]

But of course, kyoudai! One can't inspire spirit without showing the proper spirit themselves! Even if she's not confident now, I am certain I'll be able to inspire her enough to get there! I will not rest until I do!

[diamondo]

You'll do great as always! Sounds like you're doing great so far anyway!

[professionalstudent]

I am glad you think so! I knew things would turn out fine, of course! But perhaps hearing other people say so as well will help my mundane to see it too!

[guiltydulcinea]

Your mundane really doesn't need to be nervous, I think. They're doing just fine~!

[ 'sup Ishimaru, have an idol-chan. ]

Though if they're still nervous, I know a few techniques that could help! I've use them before to calm my nerves before a performance or an interview...

[professionalstudent]

Ah- Maizono-kun! [Ah... there go the passionate tears...] Those words... Are making my mundane very happy indeed! She appreciates it a lot! As do I, of course!

I'm sure that in time I can get rid of her nervousness completely... But obviously I will not turn away any further assistance!

[guiltydulcinea]

Well, it's okay to be a little nervous, though. Just remind your mundane that it's perfectly normal...

Easing into it little-by-little helps, as you yourself said, though. And if she worries more, just step back and breathe deeply for a bit. It'll calm her nerves faster.

[professionalstudent]

I have done so numerous times already! She can be stubborn about these things. Though I think she's starting to feel a lot better now!

Step back and breathe... Of course! I will make sure she does so whenever she needs it! [He has a feeling that's going to be a lot in the beginning.] Thank you for the advice, Maizono-kun!

also in the new nervous voice-testing boat

[oogreami]

It appears you have the proper application of spirit and endurance. You must not let your body go soft either.

I could assist in your training if you desire.

[SHE COULD HELP. SHE COULD HELP A LOT.]

good, we can be nervous and awkward together!

[professionalstudent]

Ah-! I wouldn't dream of it, Oogami-kun! A healthy spirit requires a healthy body!

I appreciate the offer, but... [But... training with Sakura? That sounds a little scary...] I wouldn't want to impose, of course! [yes, good, smooth.]

I think you are a fabu Ishimaru

[oogreami]

My training never stops. You would not impose.

[Ah, but perhaps he is like Chihiro Fujisaki in that regard...? She gives a considerate look very briefly.]

Is it that you seek to train in solitude and isolation?

( jumps aboard the ss nervous voice-testing --. )

[contumelious]

From where I'm standing, it almost sounds as though you're excited to be here.

[ Unfortunately, he can't say he shares the sentiment. You know, being grump-gami and all. ]

Regardless, my own mun wishes to tell yours that they're doing a "great job" so far -- so there's no need to worry.

[ He looks kind-of angry about it, though. Probably because he's of too high a status to be reduced to some kind of "message boy". Ah, well --. ]

we've got plenty of room on board!

[professionalstudent]

Isn't it only natural to be? [Don't be such a negative nancy, Togami!] There are so many new experiences to be had in a place like this! Not to mention I am grateful for the chance to talk to my fellow classmates in a... different sort of setting. [Like non-murderous. Non-murderous is good!] Surely you must feel the same way, Togami-kun!

[Was he supposed to notice that anger? Because I'm afraid that's a lost cause. It's sailing right over his head.] That is wonderful to hear! Please tell your mun that mine is very grateful! Hearing these kind words from everyone is really boosting her spirit!

; uu ; seriously though, you're great already! so don't worry. ~

[contumelious]

Not particularly, no. I'm not fond of being controlled by someone of lesser status than myself. [ He can't help it, "negative" is his middle name. Didn't you know? ]

[ There's a small pause, here. ] It seems your mun and my own have different .. ideas, concerning this place. You talk of meeting with us under different circumstances -- is she already coming up with plans for you?

[ Hopefully they're better than the ones his mun has for him. ]

[lullabytes]

....

That's probably right...I think.

[professionalstudent]

Not probably, definitely! In a case such as this, you cannot have doubts!

[lullabytes]

...

Is that it...? In that case, definitely. That sounds right.

...

Do your best.
