[idolpro]

Who: Emet-Selch, Five & Klaus Hargreeves, BARiTONES, Taisho Roman Revolution, certain criminals
Where: Mitsukoshi Ginza
When: Day 512, afternoon

[ BARiTONES and Taisho Roman Revolution will find themselves receiving invitations via cell phone to visit the Mitsukoshi Ginza for a ~*~*special graduation*~*~! Once more the terrace of the 9th floor has been redecorated for the special lads, and the theme is red.

Red carpet, red ribbons, red tablecloth, red cushioned lounge chairs, red confetti, red flower hedges, red, red, red. Heck, there's even a fancy fountain river that runs through the whole terrace before pooling at a humble sized square pond and that's red, t—

Wait.

. . . Oh. That's. Blood.

That's blood.

. . .

T-the wine is red too, and there's plenty of it. The available mugs for fancy drip coffee are red. Red velvet cake. Red meat, cooked anddddd nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooot hhhhhhhhey some of these tables and chairs seem to be made of things that are red but not things that are wood or metal or normal table material. Hey. Heyyyyy. . . ?

W . . . who is this graduation for!? Who wanted this. Like it is a Hell graduation but also!? Also!?!!? Isn't this a little too Hell-like already!?!?!

Well. Well!!!! At least there are normal sections of terrace to hang out in. They're even elegant. Fancy drip coffee and wine, again, but also fancy donuts and other breakfast options too. Fancy!!

. . .

Also . . . ? There are coin-operated horse rides, except some of them aren't horses, some of them are birds. Red birds! Phoenixes? Honestly they look kind of shitty and the music that plays from them sound horribly dissonant but on the other hand they seem to work perfectly fine without coins. So there's your entertainment!!!

At the far end of the terrace is the usual carpet to graduation doors, along with a clearing where three microphones stand for anyone who would like to make a speech or do a monologue or a performance or something. The blood fountain river crosses through here so be. Be careful. ]

You wound me.

[Trying to take his hands and tug him out.]

[auguryofinnocence]

[Well he'll go along.]

Did I make it sound as if I only meant to see him? You just don't mind my taste nearly as much, I'm sure if I refused to get out, you would just join me.

[firstworldproblem]

And ruin this dress, I think not?

[He's wearing a very Taisho dress and pulls him into a dance.

Though he absolutely would ruin the dress.]

I simply tire of sorrowful partings. I never could bear them.

[auguryofinnocence]

I suppose it would be a shame.

[He's worn his most Stylish outfit with plenty of adornment for his wings and such, so it makes sense to make some proper use of it really. Why not dance, in fact!

Not that he isn't pouty still.]

No matter how upbeat you want to be about it, it's still going to be sorrowful, you know.

[firstworldproblem]

And what if I tire of sorrowful goodbyes? Had my fill of them. Would you still say the same?

[auguryofinnocence]

I can't help that it's true. But I can try to ignore it for you.

[firstworldproblem]

And you know I would not ask that of you. Nor would I want it.

But I am flattered that you care.

[auguryofinnocence]

Of course I do. You should pester Lahabrea about it, he seems to be working hard to act as if he's just fine.

[firstworldproblem]

If I prod him too hard, he might pop like a bright balloon. He was already upset when I told him the news. No need to raise his blood pressure further.

[auguryofinnocence]

Then I suppose I'll wrestle him later.

[firstworldproblem]

[He does burst out laughing.]

Words I never thought I would hear aimed at our dear speaker, but not stronger truth has been said. Ah, now that I look back at it, Athena could challenge his mind but never his heart.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He grins! Good at least he can get a laugh!]

And what does that mean?

[firstworldproblem]

His story to tell, but once you hear of her, come to me. I will embellish all that he leaves out.

[auguryofinnocence]

That may be some time. But I will.

And what will be the first thing you do after this?

[firstworldproblem]

Gaze at the brilliant color of souls all around. The world has been gray for far too long.

[auguryofinnocence]

Ah, you'll make me awfully jealous. As much as I am happy for you too.

[firstworldproblem]

And here I didn't believe you enjoyed company outside of a few. I imagine upon your own return, you'll immediately spread those wings of yours and enjoy the freedom they bring.

[auguryofinnocence]

No, you are right about that. I'm not eager to see a crowd of souls, just for my own powers. Although transforming as much as I wish will be a project of my own.

[firstworldproblem]

I do look forward to the day when I can fly the skies with you. Do not tarry.
