Fanmail the Fourth

[idolpro]

Who: you and your adoring fan(mail)s ♥
Where: Hotel lobby
When: Day 55, evening

[ It's been pretty quiet lately, huh? Well . . . no. Every day is busy in Imeeji! You just want to relax and go home, right? Especially after going for a fun swim!

Well . . . Going home might be difficult for you. Press open on the elevators and you'll find that they open up to actual mountains of fanmail, haphazardly shoved in like jenga - if you're unlucky, you might even be literally buried in it. You can't even press the button from upstairs to go down to the lobby because the elevators are filled at max capacity. Surely they couldn't be that heavy though, right!?

Is this . . . the weight of love. . . . ?

The staircases are blocked with a couple boxes too, but nothing so obstructive that you can't push them away with a little elbow grease.

There's just . . . so much . . . . ]

It's, ah, okay. It's just the way it was. [just still with that gentle smile. and going to forestall any more discussion about this by hunting in another box just in case he got something else and oh. and just going to stare down at the letter and dollfie.] ...ah.

[we_meet_again]

I'm detecting a theme.

[forgottenmercy]

So am, ah, I.

[will find the last thing addressed to him specifically instead of to sensitIV as a whole. oh.] ...certainly a theme.

[we_meet_again]

Oh noooooo! What on Eos! There are better ways to express your feelings, Audience!!

[forgottenmercy]

They, ah, certainly...try to be memorable.

[we_meet_again]

Do you get a lot of stuff like this?

[forgottenmercy]

Not, ah, usually. I usually don't, ah, get much of anything.

[we_meet_again]

Do you prefer to get stuff like this or nothing at all?

[forgottenmercy]

...I would, ah, prefer nothing, I think. What, ah, about you?

[we_meet_again]

Understandable. I think I'd prefer to get nothing instead of something creepy, too.

Have you ever gotten something that made you happy?

[forgottenmercy]

Some of the, ah, unit-wide things have been nice.

[we_meet_again]

[wow, not a single nice thing just for Persephone...?]

I'm glad your unit has gotten nice things as a whole, then. What was your favorite, if I may ask?

[forgottenmercy]

...oh, I did forget about an encouraging letter I received once. Telling me that I seemed, ah, shy. And should, ah, try to cheer up.

But for, ah, unit-wide things...my, ah, favorite was the crayon drawing someone did of our unit.

[we_meet_again]

Hm... do you think you're shy?

And oh my gosh. ✨ That sounds so cute!!

[forgottenmercy]

...a bit, yes. [definitely very introverted. and reserved.]

It, ah, was very cute. Has, ah, your unit gotten anything like that?

[we_meet_again]

I think the closest is that we got these phone straps of each of us as a mermaid. [Showing him.]

We each got one. Hurricane said their whole unit got one as well. I wonder if all the units did!

[forgottenmercy]

That's, ah, cute. I think we, ah, got something similar, but...

[shows the magical girl strap.] Sparkly?

[we_meet_again]

Oh, look how cute! I wonder if the same artist did all of these. What a lot of work that went into these!

[forgottenmercy]

Ah, maybe. And, yes, quite a lot of effort. And, ah, time...

[we_meet_again]

[consciously setting aside the knowledge that they are constantly being watched by strangers.]

It's a little flattering to think that someone cares enough to put this much effort in.

[forgottenmercy]

It, ah, is a little flattering. If still a little, ah, odd.

[we_meet_again]

[laughs]

Perhaps more than a little odd, on occasion!
