[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. ]

My, you are being brutal. Perhaps he would like see a smile?

[rainshaveceased]

He can see me smile once I can be sure he is out of Hell's reach.

[temperedinpride]

My, what a radiant smile that is sure to be.

[rainshaveceased]

All the more reason to save it for the proper occasion.

[temperedinpride]

Should I call that stingy? It is an expression I also long to see.

[rainshaveceased]

Rather than stingy, perhaps you could consider it motivational.

[temperedinpride]

My, do I seem to lack motivation?

[rainshaveceased]

Surely a little more would not hurt.

[temperedinpride]

I'll reflect on that feedback.

[rainshaveceased]

Of course.

[...]

I will miss him.

[temperedinpride]

[He takes his hand.]

I how you will hardly have the chance to before we meet again.

[rainshaveceased]

How optimistic of you.

[temperedinpride]

It has always been my best and worst trait, I suppose. To hope for what might be impossible.

I suppose such thoughts can sometimes blind one to reality, but it is a difficult habit to break.

[rainshaveceased]

It is hardly a habit I can fault you for.

[because lol literally powered by hope over here]

[temperedinpride]

Oh? But I hear the scolding nonetheless.

[rainshaveceased]

Not at all. Merely a reminder to keep your eyes open.
