start today!

< w. @beseira >

"okay," stevie claps his hands together, catching his breath as he shoots seira a smile through the mirror. or rather-- her reflection. stevie rakes a hand through his hair, pushing the strands of sweaty hair away from his face. "that was pretty good! i think we're almost ready to move onto the next section."

stevie stares at their reflections carefully, expression thoughtful before he spins to seira. "is it okay if we do run more test through of that last part? i think i'm just a second faster than you, so i can slow down to match." once he gets into the beat, stevie's brain goes off muscle memory and straight up vibes. his body does it's own thing, and sometimes it sticks out. if he has to adjust to meet seira, stevie will do that. "the next portion is supposed to go pretty quickly, so it's probably better to conserve energy now so it's not so bad."

pausing in his ramble, he spins on his heel to face seira directly. "you doing okay, so far? we can take a break too, if we need. we're making good time. the trainers won't mind if we take a minute break." with a workshop as extensive as this, it'd be maniacal not to.

drinking games. feat. @bexria / cw alcohol

sua won't lie-- she's a little tipsy, but so what? she's made it through three months of her probationary, and sure-- she's in this weird period waiting on them to decide if they want her to continue, but she made it! celebrations are in order, even if it's knocking back drinks and giggling with ria in her room.

"hey, do you want to play a game?" sua asks ria suddenly, leaning forward with a mischievous grin on her face. "we could play...mm, what, twenty-one questions? any questions you don't want to answer you take a shot." she gestures to the half drank bottles of soju in front of them. "or if you wanna up the stakes, we could do truth or dare." sua's grin twists into something cheeky, maybe impish. "i promise i'll go easy on you if you choose dare." well, as easy as sua can manage. she has to do something fun, and if she shakes things up a bit-- she's got to get a kick out of it.

a starter for @arabe ( that's so true )

living with other people takes getting used to.

it's been a while since she's fallen asleep in a building inhabited with other people. it had been so silent in her apartment after living with people for the better part of her early twenties. with the time away, now it feels like falling back on familiar ground-- and this time, she doesn't mind it as much.

fighting back a yawn, yuji blinks blearily, rubbing at the corner of her eye as she stumbles her way into the kitchen. it's late, enough that it's pretty quiet in the dorm. she didn't bother to check the time when she got up from her surprise nap-- but yuji doesn't anticipate being awake long enough to care.

there is a light still on the kitchen, soft and dimmed enough that it isn't blinding, but you can still see where you're walking. once yuji steps in, she freezes. there's someone in the kitchen, and it takes yuji's sleep fogged brain several seconds of processing before she realizes who it is. "ara?" she inquires quietly, this time followed up by the yawn that's been haunting her since she woke up. "can't sleep?"

star quality. feat. @beseonghan

sua doesn't really know what stage presence really entails. how do you basically get people to look at you and see what you want them to see? the idea that there's a technique to it? and it's not a matter of favoritism and styling choices? talent? there's more? sua's been attempting an actual try this time, after the dance workshop burnt her out emotionally. it's still frustrating, but sua's allowing her mind to be open to it. whatever that means.

"so what i'm learning is..." her voice ends in a trail, rubbing her forehead tiredly. sua's eyes drag over her notes, a frown on her face as she continues. "...it's kind of like glorified acting, right?" her cheek puffs up as she rests it on her fist. sua's never been good at that sort of thing, but maybe this is her chance to improve. her chat used to tell her she was kind of boring, but it was her charm. sua tossed that up as more of a backhanded compliment. "like...theatre kid energy."

a home for flowers. feat. @beclaudine

"i miss cosplaying," sua brings up to claudine during a break in training, frowning down at her phone screen as she idly scrolls through the timeline. her scrolling had taken her past a dangan ronpa cosplay, and sua was suddenly overwhelmed with the urge to do one of her own, crazily enough. she'd chalk it up to the fact that she can't do that right now, probably not anytime soon, either. sua sighs, shoulders drooping a bit.

her attention drifting, she sifts through a cosplay tag online, curious to see what's trending now. "they should have a lesson for that here," sua mumbles, glancing up at her training partner. she trails her eyes over the other girl's features once, nodding to herself. "you'd hit it out of the park." she sends a compliment towards claudine, eyes flickering back down to her phone. while sua enjoys the idea of cosplay and likes the experience, claudine is far more skilled than her.

a starter for @bexria ( playlist )

yuji has been out of the loop lately for music. with how busy her schedule has steadily become, all of her time dedicated to what sr media desires from her-- she hasn't had time to really delve into most releases lately. she catches one or two there, vaguely remembers the melodies to some. her interests have been put on the back burner, but on a free day, she can't help but ask ria for some help.

"so i'm making a new playlist," yuji starts, sifting through her phone as she takes a sip of her drink. leaning back in her seat, she drags her eyes from her phone and to the younger girl. "and i need some help. i tend to put the same stuff i always listen to on my playlists, but i'm getting bored. do you have any recommendations for me? anything new that's come out that you think i might like?" yuji always goes to the same artists, but even her own library has been boring her. "i like a lot of r&b, citypop...bedroom pop. i like a bit of alternative and rock, too." yuji appreciates a lot of genres, and she always likes at least one song from every one.
