@assistant-teto
π’β α¨. You are caught in the chains of a bot-like game. β
The program you are watching is not suited for all audiences. Warnings for: graphic death, blood, gore, violence, and self destructive behavior. View at your own discretion.
God watching you two do anything is like watching a soap opera!
Isn't there a way to get her to see things YOUR way?
π’β α¨. I doubt it. It's probably in her code to help them. β
[A familiar voice hums near where Teto was trying to work. How long has it been since she has heard Triple Baka?]
[From the corner of her eye there was a flash of teal. Oh! Looks like Miku was playing dress-up as a magical girl still.]
[She looks over her shoulder at Teto.]
"Good evening Teto-san!"
-- @jccmikuau
(Teto barely glanced over at the other's direction. She, quite frankly, didn't want to be seen with her while she looks so ridiculous. However, she swallowed her pride and waved at Miku, cautiously.)
π’β α¨. Evening, Miku. β
(Her voice is hushed, thought it may just be the way she's buried herself into her clipboard.)
[Miku tilts her head, a confused expression on her face as she cautiously steps a little closer to where Teto was standing.]
"Is everything alright? You're not getting sick, are you?"
[It seems like Miku doesn't seem to realize how silly she looks in her magical girl outfit. Granted Miku never seemed to notice that kind of thing.]
π’β α¨. I wish... β
(She mumbles into the board before picking her head up. Her twin drills swaying as she does so.)
π’β α¨. I'm okay. Why're you always so worried about me? β
[The question throws Miku through a loop. Why does she worry about Teto so much? She's part of the staff that's trying to publicly execute all of her beloved "patients" here! But...]
"Why wouldn't I worry? Youβre...well you're always working so hard and I care about you. That's what people do when they care, they worry about one another."
[Miku's cheeks got a little pink when she mentioned the fact that she cared about Teto. Her artificial heart beat a little quicker. Would Teto mind being cared about, especially when that care and concern came from Miku of all people?]
π’β α¨. You talk as if we're friends. β
(The words fall from her mouth faster than she can catch them, but part of it rings true to Teto. They used to be friends before the incident, but now? It feels like Miku's just trying to get on her good side now after threatening her. Miku doesn't even show any sign of remembering what happened, what destroyed Teto's career.)
[Miku winces. Teto does raise a good point. Miku hasn't been very good to her since being activated on set but...Surely Teto of all people remembers that Miku takes her directives seriously, right? And safeguarding her "patients" was part of her new directive.]
"Just because I don't agree with what you choose to do as a career doesn't mean I can't care about you as a person. Besides, I still meant what I said during idol training. That I wanted to look out for you as long as I possibly could because you and Neru were both my best friends."
[Teto has to remember that, right? That they all promised to look out for each other even if their idol careers sent them in different directions. Surely Miku's replacement didn't take back that promise!...Right?]
(Somehow Miku's speech just pisses her off. She speaks so kindly, too kindly. This talk of "taking care of each other" and "best friends" is bullshit. It's impossible to wrap her head around. She's never even apologized. What did Miku do to take care of her when she fell off the idol industry? All the nights spent crying, spent drinking...)
π’β α¨. Are we really though? β
(Her words come out as a hiss but just beyond that is a crack, a whine.)
[Miku's brows furrowed as she tried to think about what Teto was trying to say. Surely things haven't gotten that bad since she was put in that box....right?]
"I mean I hope we are! I know I disappeared for a bit, but that doesn't mean I didn't think about you or worry about you! You've always been on my mind, even when I first took up my duties here!"
[That was the right thing to say, right? Miku sure hoped so! She...still wasn't the best at interacting with others, even after spending so much time trying to get to know her "patients".]
π’β α¨. You ruined my life. β
(Is all Teto could mumble under her breath. She stared down at her clipboard, clearly lost in some thought... That day. The day that changed everything. The day she saw Miku break. She was terrified, but who knew that it would only get worse from there? Now, she's stuck here, risking her life by working with criminals, running around like a maniac because everything must go right without a singular raise or acknowledgement. It's tiring, but she has nothing else. Her hand twitches, once, twice, but she can't bring herself to do anything.)
[Miku couldn't make out what Teto had said, but she did hear her tone. That hurt and defeated tone that made Miku's chest ache. She didn't even know what had happened to even make Teto feel that way! But...she knew she had to do something.]
"Hey now, there's gotta be something I can do to fix this. Well, something outside of hurting my patients anyway. I can't hurt them, especially after everything they've been doing for me."
[Who would have thought that a bunch of criminals living on borrowed time would be what helped her make sense of the baggage she was left carrying as a result of her idol training? That they would help her realize that maybe...Maybe she didn't deserve being electrocuted for every tiny infraction. Maybe she didn't deserve to have painful maintenance procedures done while she was still active and have to watch.]
[And if someone as clumsy as Miku who didn't understand very much didn't deserve being treated so poorly, then someone as dependable and hardworking as Teto truly didn't deserve whatever hand the idol industry had dealt her.]
(Teto's silent for a long moment. She sets the clipboard down in her lap, burying her face in her hands. She's on the verge of tears, but she refuses to let them fall. She lets out a shaky breath and looks up at Miku.)
π’β α¨. You act as if I chose to kill them. I don't choose what happens out there. β
(Teto's voice breaks slightly. She's clearly trying to compose herself, but she's faltering.)
[Miku huffs but quickly composes herself. Breathe. She can fall apart later.]
"No, but again we can make a stand together. Do something because this entire concept of killing people for public entertainment is absolutely disgusting."
[Miku dares to be bold, just this once and hold onto Teto's hands. Her touch is warm and gentle. The same kind of touch she used back when they used to paint each other's nails when they worked together.]
"We're Hatsune Miku and Kasane Teto! Surely two idols condemning this has to be worth listening to! Even just a little bit! And-and I know you'd probably know how to word it so people would listen! You..."
[Miku gives Teto a fond yet impressed look.]
"You've always been the smarter of the two of us. You've always known what to say to keep my managers from getting too upset when we I've made mistakes during practice so...I think you could truly make a difference if you tried."
[She truly was an idiot for thinking two ladies could take on a monolith like Bet and Forgive. But...at least she didn't seem to be actively threatening Teto this time.]
(Teto's hands shake in her hold. Her expression growing tense, weary and angry. She wants to scream, and cry, and bail, but she can't. She doesn't. She sits still, letting her anger shake her.)
π’β α¨. And what? Lose my job? The only thing you haven't taken away from me? β
(Teto rips her hands from Miku's hold. Her voice finally teetering over the edge, her tears finally pricking her eyes.)
π’β α¨. I amβ We are nothing! Just a bunch of fucking nobodies! All because of your mistake and my fucking inability to keep you in check. β
(She looks down at the floor after she yells. Her hands curling into tight fists.)
π’β α¨. You can fight for them, but I need this fucking job, Miku. β
[Miku shakes, her eyes filling with tears as Teto's words hit right at every little gap in what little emotional armor Miku had. Maybe she understood why Bones and Benny often seemed extra upset after their fights. It stung more coming from someone who knew you so well...]
[But her mistake-]
"If you think I could sit by and let that-that horrible man hurt Rin-chan the way he did me, then maybe we-"
[Miku stops herself. No that....She couldn't talk about that-Not now and not here.]
[She couldn't stop shaking as the she remembered the purr in her ear and the way HIS hand felt during her "maintenance" sessions....]
"Think what you want I-I gotta go..."
[And with that Miku ran. That seemed to be the only thing she was good for these days...]
(Teto stared off into the distance as Miku ran off. Rin? What did this have to do with Rin? Did she seriously not remember? The day, the performance, that ruined her entire career?)
(She picks up her clipboard and walks off in the other direction. She's still seething, but she seemed to "compose" rather quickly.)
[A familiar voice hums near where Teto was trying to work. How long has it been since she has heard Triple Baka?]
[From the corner of her eye there was a flash of teal. Oh! Looks like Miku was playing dress-up as a magical girl still.]
[She looks over her shoulder at Teto.]
"Good evening Teto-san!"
-- @jccmikuau
(Teto barely glanced over at the other's direction. She, quite frankly, didn't want to be seen with her while she looks so ridiculous. However, she swallowed her pride and waved at Miku, cautiously.)
π’β α¨. Evening, Miku. β
(Her voice is hushed, thought it may just be the way she's buried herself into her clipboard.)
Since you seem to not care sooooooooooo much, maybe we should tell Miku that~
π’β α¨. She probably already knows. I don't make an effort to hide it or anything. β
Yeah, you're gonna lose your girl to Miss Goggles McCarrot unless you step up your game~
π’β α¨. I don't careβ She's not my girlfriend either!? β
(Her cheeks flush a subtle pink at the insinuation.)
Dude, this is why she draws her kissing Gumi rather than her kissing you in her diary
You're like Queen Fumblina over here!
π’β α¨. Kissing Gumi...β I'm a better kisser than Gumi, what the fuck?! β
Fakest idgafer ever!
Why are you fumbling so bad? She's literally giving you an opening to spend time with her!
π’β α¨. I'm not fumbling, I just don't care? β
(She 100% cares.)
I take it the old geezer is a chronic yapper huh
π’β α¨. Vick? He can be. Get him rambling on about his career, and he won't hush. β
If you were able to chill with any contestant, who would you pick and why?
π’β α¨. Vick. Or Eddie. Vick... I could deal with Vick. He's easy to tune out. Eddie would just leave me alone. β
// aroace teto is something ive thought a lot about , and i do see it as primarily canon on this blog
however, i do think teto has a special space in her heart for miku (and her affections) and if probably the only person she'd ever consider dating
Do you have a favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
π’β α¨. 2012 Raph is probably my favorite oat β
Gacha games?! Woah!
What was your greatest pull in one of those?
π’β α¨. Probably the time I got 3 of the same 5* in a row...? I'm not really sure what tops that. β
So what kind of games do you like to play?
π’β α¨. ... Gacha games, open world rpgs, shooters, just basic stuff. I don't have a lot of time to learn anything else. β
(She seems a bit embarrassed to admit her awful taste in games.)
I know exactly what can ease your woes!
*hands Teto a warm cup of green tea*
π’β α¨. Oh, um... I don't take drinks from strangers. β
(She pushes the cup away politely.)
Everything alright hun? You look dreadfully tired!
π’β α¨. I'm fine, just... not getting enough sleep. β
(The girl does stay up playing video games whenever not on the clock...)
Soooooooooooo, how's the most amazing woman in the world doing today~
π’β α¨. Terrible. β
(She looks miserably exhausted.)
