| Trinity was taking a brief break from one of her concerts dressed up as Nola, of course she had to find a more secluded spot to relax but she managed to find such a place and she was sitting there chewing on the edge of a cookie as she reads one of her many books, quietly nomming away on the edge of the cookie as she flipped the page and continued her nomming as she relaxed a bit, though she was quite happy with things except for a few things. that being some of the current going ons, not to mention she had already just finished making the order for the costumes she would need for the concert she was planning for later.
But after all that set up she had also been trying something new, something that she got the Idea from Selenus but she wanted it to be more then just the illusion he used, but for now using it would have to wait, she simply sat there enjoying her cookie and reading her book as she leaned back a bit with a small huff from her nose of contentment. | |

| Frog was usually the last person one would expect to find roaming Suzie-Q, but whoever was acquainted with the Platinum Playhouse and knew him as the Amphibian Prince (which were pretty much just three people, Selenus, Liam and Brit), wouldn't have a hard time figuring the riddle out, for as they all knew, the music in this district was brainwashing people and had an adverse effect on Persona Users, or so was claimed by the Goatey. Anyways, this prompted Frog to spend more time in the district, at the very least to get a feel for how it worked and looked, so he could stop depending on Brit to take him everywhere when they were there.
There was one other reason to be back in Suzie...and that was Trinity.
Suddenly, he heard a crunching sound and he was pretty sure, even before looking, who made it. Turning over, he saw the girl his sis was going crazy about when she...uh, smelled her in their neigbourhood. Trinity was there, nomming on a cookie, she who'd given him the CD for Tee. Tee loved the damn thing so much he regretted ever bringing it home for her. He stood in the line of sight, put his hands into his pockets and waited, with a slacked back and a spring in his posture, for her to notice him. | |

| Trinity continued to gently nom on the edge of the cookie, it was a reather large cookie too one of the extra large ones they sold in one of the cafe's here, it was one of her favorites as it let her nibble away while reading a book without having to worry about grabbing another cookie. Flipping the page she continued to read her book but as she did so she noticed someone standing there looking at her and she looked up. seeing it was frog she tilted her head to the side and looked around a bit expecting to see his little sister there as well but it seemed she hadn't come along with him.
Taking a moment to finish the page she put her book mark in the book and closed it slipping it into her backpack and looking up at Frog once more waving to him to let him know he could come over "hello there Frog, how are you doing today?' she asked as she looked up at him with that expressionless face and spoke with that monotone that she always did unless in the persona of one of her stage names. | |

| "Hmm?" Frog watched Trinity glance around the place. He placed his hands behind his head and sighed. "Yeah, as much as Tee was hyped to come with me today, mom wouldn't let her. She's been slacking with her studying lately. I mean, not that she ain't smart and stuff, but I s'ppose my parents learned their lesson when I never studied as a kid so they don't wanna make the same mistake with Tee as well, heh. Since I've grown into a lazy bum." He grinned. "I'm doing fine. I wasn't sure where to find you here since I like, have no clue about this place, so yeah. I'm super glad I actually found you eventually."
He sat on a bench next to her bench, watching not to touch/sit on any bird shits on it. He was quiet for a moment. "What's the book you were reading?" Eventually, he looked at her and asked. "Btw, Tee hasn't stopped listening to that CD ever since I gave it to her yesterday. She's totally crazy about it and, apparently, your group." | |

| Trinity nodded as he walked over and sat on the bench next to her though she did tilt her head a bit as to why he sat so far away, and as he was talking she stood up and walked over to him and sat next to him, her expressionless unblinking gaze never leaving him the entire time she was changing her sitting spot, and she listened to his reasons Tee wasn't with him and she nodded slowly, nibbling on the edge of the oversized cookie once more as she listened. by the sounds of it his parents sounded like they might have wanted to have had a more controlling hand on Frog, she knew what that was like.
"Well if you want We could exchange phone numbers so you can find us easier..." she said as she looked at him she then reached into her pocket and took out what looked to be a hamburger, but it turned out to be a phone case as shee flipped it open to show her phone was inside "Hamburger Phone wants your number.." she said in a moment of rather rare cuteness as she looked him right in the eyes.
though when he asked about the book she picked it up to show him it was "romance of the three kingdoms" "Historical fiction, it is very interesting series of books...it also gives battle plans and things of that nature..." she said as she nibbled on the cookie once more before letting out a happy little puff from her nose at hearing Tee liked the gift "We are glad she liked it...We hoped it would be a better gift then the cookie we gave her before and she didn't eat" she said eyes still locked onto his. | |

| Frog followed Trinity as she got up and sat next to him. Apparently, the extra space he'd given her just in case (and also 'cause it was easier on him that he gave both of them some space) was too much and she had the common courtesy to show some amicability. Perhaps he should stop worrying so much about these sorts of things. "Sure-" He opened his lips to speak but was met with an hamburger phone wanting his number, so he chuckled a bit and told it to her. "And that's my number." He said. "Gonna send me a text so I can get yours?" He added, taking his phone out of his pocket.
Now came the embarrassing part. He was sure he'd heard the name of the story somewhere...he actually did know where exactly but admitting it even to himself would require full on strength of will which he really did not have enough of. So Frog blinked once or twice and gave a sheepish grin. It wouldn't he difficult for Trinity to see he had no clue what the book or the book series were about and was feeling awkward 'cause of it.
Thankfully the awkwardness was swiftly broken by Trinity's further comments. "Nah I bet she likes the cookie just as much, so long as it's from you. Heh." He leaned back on the bench. "Are you doing some music stuff with your group right now? Like concerts and stuff?" A thought crossed his mind. If Trinity was also a part of Suzie-Q's scene, then the group must also be playing evil Government brainwashing music, right? Felt kinda off socializing with a possible enemy/brainwasher, but he'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy it. Nola's innocence too was quite a daunting element to just ignore. She probably wouldn't stand for something like that, he tried to reassure himself. | |

| Trinity nodded as she put the number in her phone and started to write a text, even as he was asking if she was going to send him one, she nodded a bit more letting out another little happy huff from her nose as she finished the text and sent it to him. If frog looked at the text it would read reading "Hamburger phone has your number...he will keep it beside the cheese" and she looked back up at him with that unblinking expressionless gaze as she realized that earlier Frog had shown now recognition of the book she had been reading and she decided to just let that topic drop for now, it would be hard to explain the whole thing to someone in a short time after all.
Hearing that Tee might like the cookie as much as the CD was a bit odd, but it seemed it was more about who gave her the gift rather then what the gift was, and Trinity decided that was a good thing, it meant that any gift would be good for her. Not that Trinity planned on giving her bad gifts but it was good to know she would cherish anything she gave her. "We are glad to hear that" she said nodding a bit.
Then Frog asked about their work and she nodded a little "We held a concert earlier this afternoon, normally when we are not doing concerts we are working on new songs or making albums, most of the time Alister and Myrna are working on new sounds for the group or themselves" she honestly didn't mind letting him know, he didn't seem the type to want to just spill the beans to any news people, besides it's not like it was a secret anyway. | |

| Frog have Nola a thumbs up when he saw the text pop up on his phone's screen. He saved the number under the name: 'Tee's gonna love this', as he sucked at remembering names, therefore usually making them obsolete to him. Trinity continued being glad, apparently. If she didn't have that unblinking emotionless face on, he guessed it'd be hard to tell which one from either her or Tee was really the excited and glad one in their relationship.
Then again, he had to wonder one thing in particular. He'd not yet saw her with either these Allister or Myrna, who were apparently the other two in their trifecta. However off it made him feel, he decided to opt to ask Tee about it later if he remembered to. Maybe it was some pop thing for pop groups? Were they a pop group even..? He'd heard their songs from Tee but he sucked at music too, especially telling the genres apart cause he hardly knew which genres even existed. "Oh, I see. So like, you must be bushed or something, aye? From the stage and whatnot? I bet it's hella exhausting, but you really don't look beaten or anything. I guess you performers go through training or something?" | |

| Trinity nodded to the thumbs up and she put her hamburger phone away, as she sat with Frog, it was good that Tee enjoyed the gift she got her, and she would have to remember to get one for Frog, Actually, he had never been to one of her concerts right? So why not give them tickets to her next one? one for him and one for Tee? She knew Tee would enjoy the ticket, and maybe Frog would like the concert? backstage passes would be easy to get as well and Tee would certainly love it.
Looking back to Frog though as he talked she nodded a little "Yes, We are a little tired, but that is why we came here to relax and read, as for not looking beat, we have been doing this for years, we are used to it, but it is always nice to take time to unwind after a show, Though we are planing a special show for a few days from now" she said thinking about the show she had been planing with her siblings. It would be quite the show.
Looking back to Frog though she reached into her bag, most of her concert dates where already set and she had, as usual, some free tickets to anyone she wished to give them to. Normally, before she really started meeting people, she would leave them unused, but now she decided she might as well give them out, especially if one of those people was as big a fan as Tee was, "Here...We have a concert going on tomorrow, these passes have backstage access as well, We would enjoy it if you and Tee showed up" she said with a little happy huff from her nose, it felt nice giving out gifts that she knew someone would like, | |

| Frog was honestly really surprised that Nola would just give him some tickets to their concert. He glanced at the tickets and back at her as he extended his hand to accept the gift. He looked at them momentarily before smiling. "Hey, that's kinda really nice of you." He said, bobbing his head to the side. He took his wallet out and pushed them safely inside. Now, he wasn't sure how their parents were gonna react and honestly how he was feeling about attending another concert (concerts were scary places with lots of people, ew), but he probably would have to go with Tee, so there was no way out for him. And besides, if he didn't show up, it'd leave Nola and her group disappointed most likely.
'Twas common courtesy to accept the gift gracefully, as a promise.
"I bet we'll come, but I need to check with my parents. Nyeh, Tee'll probably get them on her side though, so it'll be fine, I'm sure of it." He picked up his phone for no reason (maybe just out of nervousness) and instantly put it back away into his pocket. "And backstage passes, whew...so Tee will be able to see both the outside and the inside of your concert. She'll love it." | |

| Trinity nodded a bit "We don't have a reason to not give them, and We know Tee would enjoy them, and We also have an interest in making sure you attend" she said as she looked at him with that unblinking expressionless gaze, "After all, We know you do like Concerts, as We seen you at the one last night" she said looking at him still with that expressionless and unblinking gaze locked onto his eyes.
She nodded hearing he would have to check with his parents, this made sense, his parents would probably like to know where he is going, and they would want to know where Tee was going as well, so she returned the cookies edge to her mouth and resumed nibbling on it gently, though as he mentioned that Tee would be able to see both sides she nodded a bit and once more removed the cookie edge from her mouth "Yes but we do holographic concerts since my siblings are usually busy with other work, but they take trucks with them so that they can be in the show that way, We need to do a lot of work after all, usually they set it aside to do their work at the same time" she said sticking with the usual cover story. | |

| "Oh, ok then." Frog shrugged. Better not question it too much, as was the deal when getting presents and whatnot. Interesting though, that an idol was so open. To Frog they were all pretty much just...well, cardboard cut-outs. He gulped when she mentioned the concert last night. "Right, well, you gave me the CD back then. But I guess that was more like...going there with friends, rather than my own incentive." He gave her an excuse he felt content with. Last thing he needed was to get brainwashed or something. "Were you like, keeping an eye on your competition back there last night, haha?" Chuckling, he added.
"Hmm, so a holographic show?" Frog raised an eyebrow. This meant there would only be Nola there then, right? What this other work even was was beyond him for now. Maybe Tee knew more, seeing as she was a die-hard fan. "That sounds like fun, if done well, I suppose. Like, I've seen stuff like that on TV before, holographic concerts, that is. I guess you've gotta practice even harder to do it right." | |

| As he asked about the concert she thought it was better to play safe and she shook her head "No We always go to events like that, Though we noticed you with Brittany and Liam" she said as she continued to stare unblinkingly at him "You all seemed to be talking during the act......" she said as she continued to look at him but then she popped the cookie back into her mouth to nibble a moment as she sat there with frog, wondering on several things.
As he brought up the holographic concert she nodded a bit "Yes the work is hard but it pays off, the shows tend to be very mesmerizing or so some of our fans have told us, we also use good light work, and our instruments are kept in top condition" she said as she explained a few things, "We am so glad to hear that Tee listens to our music whenever she can, it's very important that our fans never forget us" she said still staring at Frog with that unfaltering and unblinking gaze, the edge of the cookie popped back into her mouth as she nibbled on it and her expression never changing the whole time, even that monotone voice never seemed to change emphasis on anything. | |

| Frog froze up again. So she knew they were talking during the performance? What did this mean exactly? Was Nola a Terrorist herself..? Or was she impervious to the hypnotic effects of the music because she was more akin to the District Head's sort, that being the evil brainwashed and brainwashing government of evil? He didn't gulp down as to not raise any suspicions, rather giving her a reassuring smile. "Yeah, sorry, I thought people did that during concerts...seems like I was wrong. I got kinda lost in the act later on though. It was kinda nice, though I didn't like the girl's clothes and stuff. She looked like crap." He grinned and snickered.
So mesmerizing shows...did this mean they were also hypnotic? Maybe it was their light act that invoked the effect rather than the music then, seeing as he'd not heard any whispering when walking by Tee's room while she was listening to the CD. He still hadn't tested that theory though, the one being that even a recording can have a brainwashing effect.
Fans forgetting them? Suspicious wording... Nola was starting to make him itch the wrong way. She seemed sorta nice like this though... Maybe she didn't know if she was hypnotising people? He wouldn't be surprised if the government unknowingly made idols into their brainwashing tools. "Oh, I see. Then I can't wait to see your show. It'll be my first time seeing holographic concerts for reals." | |

| Trinity looked at frog that same expressionless unblinking gaze locked onto his eyes as she listened to what he said, he froze a moment when she mentioned him talking with Brittany and Liam, Liam being someone she had met the night before after the show, but she had worried he was with the district head, but he had been hanging around Frog, but then what was to say frog wasn't working with him? All this stuff was already getting tiring to be honest, but as Frog answered she got a bit of a clue. he criticized the singer, when she was in the crowd all she could hear was raving reviews of her, even in the paper of the few journalists that wrote about it had nothing but praise.
She continued to stare at him as she nibbled on the edge of the slowly shrinking cookie, her eyes never looking away from him and never blinking even once as she held that expressionless gaze on his eyes, what she didn't realize was she was slowly leaning forward, the cookie firmly in her mouth and being nibbled on as she studied him her eyes momentarily flashing Multicolored before returning to normal.
In her mental construct Trinity looked at the others "What was that?"
The others seemed to be confused as well as they looked around, they had all felt SOMETHING in the place with them, before Lilith pointed to the corner that for some reason none of them looked at..or maybe couldn't look at at the moment.
"Oh..seems I can't hide from that one..." a voice rang out as they all looked over and noticed a new person in their construct "Hello there, Been watching for awhile, none of you seemed to notice me but I decided to keep quiet all the same..." she said with a smile, her eyes were multi-colored as she looked to them all "We should all have a talk later." she said with a smile her voice seemed to be rather odd to them all as it seemed to change from sounding like one of them to another almost like it was warped or modulated.
Back in the real world Trinity hadn't stopped staring at Frog with that unblinking gaze as she continued to nibble on the cookie, When he finally said something about the concert she nodded a bit and let out a happy little puff from her nose "We are glad to hear that you are looking forward to coming to the show, it should be later this afternoon near the start of the evening but not to late into the night, We need to be well rested for the concert in the morning" she said to him as she continued with that monotone and unblinking gaze that was locked onto his own eyes. | |
