call me out v. 13.0

[misheard]

Call out one of the characters from my muselist with a starter, a prompt, a general 'hey can we do something with these characters' comment, a smoke signal, etc., and I'll get back to you with some kind of RP thread!

Old CR, new CR, assumed CR, canonmates, AU, crossover, whatever, it's all good.

[It's night when Ai comes in, carefully walking and looking around. Her makeup is starting to flake off, so she quickly moves toward the employees-only door.]

Come on, come on...

[goatsongs]

Hey.

[Don't ask why Chuuya's still awake at this hour. If she has to ask she knows she shouldn't be up either.]

[in_a_bottle]

[She rubs her face, even if it gets rid of more of the makeup.]

Are you feeling okay?

[goatsongs]

I'm okay, are you okay?

[She's kind of flaking...]

[in_a_bottle]

I've just been working a lot, that's all. It's nothing I can't handle. I just... well, I felt like I should come see you again. It's been a while.

[goatsongs]

In the dead of night, with your makeup half-off? Not that I mind seeing you without it, but you're usually pretty particular.

[in_a_bottle]

...[She sighs.] I'm just getting worried that now that we're popular, I won't have a lot of time. And more than that, I was worried about you. When I went to watch the kids back in October, you weren't back for a long time, so... well, I know what it's like to not be over dying. So I didn't know what to do for you.

[goatsongs]

I'm not usually as bad as that.

[October is different.]

And even if you're busy, that's fine. Don't worry about me.

[in_a_bottle]

...you'd worry about me. That's all.

[goatsongs]

Course I would. That's what dads do.

[Imagine thinking he would do anything less?]

[in_a_bottle]

I'm still surprised you ended up like family to me. Especially when we were supposed to be competing to the death and I was admittedly judging you a little at first. You're kind of amazing, you know.

[goatsongs]

If you didn't judge me at all I'd have judged you for that.

[He was kind of a disaster! Right now he's working on it, but when they first met...]

[in_a_bottle]

Thanks, I guess. How are you doing now?

[goatsongs]

Better than then. The boys are behaving better too.

[Now that they're both out of their terrible twos.]

[in_a_bottle]

I hope they're doing okay. I know I've been busy lately. There was the balloon festival last month, a few live shows...

[goatsongs]

You made it to Yoshimasa's birthday, that's more than I can ask.

[I don't remember if his birthday is November or December and I cannot be assed to check right now.]

[in_a_bottle]

Of course. You're my family now. I don't care how much I have to sneak around or double-book myself, I'm not missing things like that.

[goatsongs]

When the boys are old enough I'll start taking them to your concerts.

[Not right now, obviously, they don't like the loud noises and the crowds.]

[in_a_bottle]

I'm glad you have confidence in us. I'll do my best to make sure we keep going, okay?

[The transition into idol mode is probably a reflex by this point.]

[goatsongs]

[It probably is, and Chuuya ruffles her hair to try to switch idol mode back off.]

We'd come see you if you just performed in the back of a garage.

[in_a_bottle]

I don't think everyone else would.

[She gives a small laugh, though.]

Thanks. I hope the other girls didn't give you too much trouble when you came around.

[goatsongs]

Everyone else isn't family.

[So of course he'll support them forever.]

Eh. Your manager was more of a dick than them.

[in_a_bottle]

Yeah, but you never know what he's going to do except that there's a high chance he's going to be screaming while he does it. I got the lecture and the incomprehensible insults, but then all of a sudden it's "I already knew, I didn't say anything?" I don't get him at all.

Sorry about Tae-chan. She thinks chewing on someone is a sign of affection.

[goatsongs]

I've had worse, don't worry about it.

[just don't chew on the hat...]

[in_a_bottle]

Are the other authors that bad? Most of them seem reasonable, but some of them make me wonder.
