Timid Idol

"I-I'm going to be top idol!"

[medores]

You know it's quite funny to get insulted by irrelevant people sometimes. 

I mean yes, you did say a bad thing about me but I don't t-think I can hear you over my millions of fans shorty~

[tzahalhazak]

Oh.  Thank you, that is a proper compliment. 

We can go to this one place I really like! Really nice asian food, they serve the best Lemon Chicken in the entire world. 

[medores]

Ok ok, I have my d-disguise ready, l-let's go get some lemon chicken! 

If my p-producer finds out about this h-he's going to be so angry with me hehe!

[ostaran]

Ibuki-chi really wants some taiyaki. Bring Ibuki-chi some taiyaki or she’ll cry!!!

[medores]

Err..C-care to explain why you'd cry if you didn't get that specific food? Don't you have anything to eat?

[tzahalhazak]

I kill people for a living, Tsumiki. That requires some exercise. But yeah, let’s go get fast food.

[medores]

Oh r-right, then is you look hot a proper compliment. 

W-where do you think we should go? D-do you have any particular places that are good? Please t-tell me you have a particular place because if you do it's probably good. 

[tzahalhazak]

….I don’t.  We can get some fast food now if you want, though. 

[medores]

O-Oh my god. Oooooh my god, I'm crying. Yes, yes l-let's get fast food. 

Did I ever tell you it looks like you've b-been working out Hinata-kun.

[tzahalhazak]

I don’t think you’d be very happy to see me at your doorstep with something that could be lethal. 

[medores]

I-I don't think you understand h-how much I love fast food. I can rarely e-eat it and when I do it's like h-heaven. I-if you have a side job as a deliverer of chinese food y-you have to tell me or else. 

[tzahalhazak]

This is the fifth time I get a call about this in this week. No. I do not deliver chinese food.  I kill for a job. THat’s what I do.

[medores]

B-But what if delivering chinese food in the s-secret side job n-no one knows about? A-are you hiding that you deliver f-fast food from us Hinata-kun.

[hissha]

Really? I should think that an industry so focused on youth and beauty would have some kind of dastardly plot in operation behind the scenes. But what do I know? You are the idol here, not I. Sabotage, you say? Not entirely unpredictable, but still interesting… Do go on. Have you ever been a victim of said sabotage, if you don’t mind my asking? Or have you seen it done successfully to another?

[medores]

W-well it's not a c-conspiracy so much as the idols w-who've begun to show signs of getting old cover it up with a bunch of plastic s-surgery. Also I d-don't know about them but I'm always being pushed to change myself in some way to fit the mold of y-your typical idol.

I-I've been a victim o-once, they ended up p-putting the mic system out of commission. I-It took them a day to fix everything, I-I'm real lucky it didn't delay my concert. 

[medores]

So my producer is making me advertise f-for the p-piece of shit Kuzuryuu company b-but I have to say..

T-the sweets are the best thing I've t-tasted in a while. I-I wish I could eat these all day long. 

don't tell kuzuryuu I said that.

[hissha]

Tsumiki, just the young lady I wished to see! Haha… I can feel the muse flow into me just by looking at you. The idol industry is rife with shady dealings and sinister conspiracy, you know! I’m quite frankly surprised at how many people can’t see past the veneer of glitz and saccharine showtunes, but it’s not my place to judge. Would you mind terribly if I asked you a few questions about your line of work?

[medores]

U-um? I suppose i-if it's for writing. Y-you're right about the shady dealings, but n-not really the sinister conspiracies. M-most people in this industry d-don't think past "you need to look pretty for as long as you're in the business." I-I mean a lot of idols try and sabotage each other b-but once again they don't really t-think about it. 

[medores]

Whoever is up in the heavens, I'm praying to you.

P-please when I become older do not make it so I have to be a plastic surgery d-disaster to keep my fans.

[tobvkuarchive]

What? Me?

I’ll have you know I’m incredibly independent and I’m never ever sad about anything, ever.

Unless it’s when Ghost and Roach died in Modern Warfare 2. Jeez, that made me cry a little bit.

[medores]

Y-you don't have to keep y-your feelings covered up like that. I w-won't tell anyone if you start crying for real or s-something.

[medores]

Ikusaba-san are you in need of a friend to talk to? 

Y-you seem real sad about something!

[medores]

I'm starting to feel like I'm not playing this character right eugh. 

[taihaitekina]

And yet again, here you are, piling people together like they’re all the same. Yes, I admit it, I don’t give a damn about the reserve students. They had knowingly got themselves into this school to only say they were from Hope’s Peak while in reality they are only here to support the school financially. People that knowingly came to a school only to be nothing more than second grade aren’t worth my time.

Say whatever you’d like about that, but I’m not changing my mind. On the other hand, it’s not like I’m walking over to them and rubbing it in. People who do are disgusting. Not every person around here is like that, and honestly, if it bothers you so much, why not befriend the reserve course students?

I don’t care about what other people favor, I care about what I favor. People have their reasons and I don’t have the time to hear them.

[medores]

Okay so I decided to try and change my opinion but here you are proving everything I think about you.

Since you seem to not understand this, those reserve students came here because they heard about how quality this school was. That it was one of the best schools to send your child, it was for the elite. Who doesn't want to get into an elite school? Many of them said to me they had talents hopes peak rejected and they hoped they'd be good enough to be recognized by them. 

I do not give a fuck about whether you're openly talking down to them or not, thinking your better because of something out of your fucking control means you're no better.   By the way, I do plan on making friends with the reserve course students. 

Any chance of me making friends with a little shit like you has flew out the window, try and remove that stick from your ass Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu.

[taihaitekina]

… Are you for real? When people are honestly nice enough and show the proper respect, not saying they must worship me, they receive the same treatment most of the time as long as they don’t say something out of place.

I’ve already made several friends here, but apparently you’re too busy looking at people’s bad side to notice those who aren’t ‘pretentious’. And I do believe is says something if I managed to do it and you didn’t.

And, well, that is your preference. I’d rather beat the odds with my strength rather than not risk it when things come to that. Once people earn my smile and my respect, they earn my faith. If they are people that will truly leave me when I need them, then I deserve to be left alone if I thought I should put my faith in them.

[medores]

R-really? Then when I saw you being an a-ass they must have been terrible to you first. Interesting..

Oh so watching p-people push the reserve students around means I'm not really getting a full view of their personality? I-i've talked to people who seemed very nice but the moment I t-turn my back I hear or see something about them h-harrassing someone that's part of the reserve course or "doesn't have a real talent". Sorry for assuming things but if y-you're going to do it too you're not better.

T-they don't have to consciously leave you. You could be stuck in a situation w-where none of those quality people are there. T-then what? I have the feeling y-you think people who favor quantity are lower than you on the t-totem pole. 

[taihaitekina]

Urgh, okay, let’s just stop right here because I am sick of your current attitude. I am not doing anything against you, I am not attacking you, only explaining myself and pointing out what I think was hypocritical of you to say. As I said first, you earned some of my respect, yet here you are, attacking me, and now threatening me although I never said I’d do anything to you.

Now, back to the point, I am not looking for adoring fans, I am looking for supporting comrades. Or, you know, friends. How many actual, real friends do you have? Friends that really appreciate all sides of your personality? 

Quantity may overthrow quality, but winning over with only select quality is a lot more satisfying than having the numbers.

[medores]

Because I'm sick of you being mean to people! Granted some people deserve all the shit you fling at them but some are honestly nice! Even if they have to earn your smile which is complete bullshit by the way you shouldn't just push them out of the way like they aren't worth your time! 

I've never had any real friends, I came to this school to make some. So I s-suppose you have me there. B-but if I can find someone that isn't p-pretentious I'm going to latch onto them. 

Since when did satisfaction m-matter? I'd rather have many people willing to defend me than the "quality" people who could end up not being there when I truly n-need them.
