Filming on Set [Open]

Katsu! rehearsed his lines while standing on set and surrounded by various people staging the area. Huh? What am I talking about? Let me back things up for a second! Today was the day Katsu!'s publicity agent had set him up for a commercial that would be filmed in Shibakuzoi. The young pop idol really didn't think much of the gig itself, but it wasn't his job to think. Ever since he received this power of his for exchange for fame, it's been one thing after the next. Though don't get him wrong, he enjoyed it. It was fun, and it gave him much more leeway to do what he want, when he wanted. Like a child he was incapable of feeling sorry or remorse for actions done wrong, and instead worked off pure instincts in his life. Placing a hand on his hip, the round eyed boy would give a wide grin. It had become common knowledge that he would be filming here this day, and as so alot of people who could be labeled as fans came out to see him. There was a possibility they could sneak into the commercial itself, but that was fine with him. Only his agents took things seriously around here, and he guessed someone had to if he didn't. Whatever the case, he turned to look at the crowd forming just outside the barriers set up around the staging area. He had some time before the filming actually started, and his lines were easy to memorize after one go, so he figured he'd go have some fun. Giving a toothy grin, the pop idol would make his way over to the fans and would bow his head to them. "Thank you all for coming here and giving me your support, Mmm! As a thank you, I'm going to take a few people from the crowd to help me in this commercial! I hope you don't mind, yeah! Katsu! Katsu! would love for this to be super fun, ya know?!" The young boy waved his hands out front of him as he gave an innocent tilt to the head and a wide smile. "Don't worry, I'll show you the ropes! Katsu! Katsu! doesn't bite very hard either, Mmm!" The pop idol's amber eyes scanned the crowd to see if anyone of interest popped out to him. "Don't be shy, Katsu! Katsu! will teach you how to act! I promiiiise!"

Traits:

Katsu!Katsu! Was certainly a sight to behold. There was nothing about him she didn't know, mostly because the friends she did have that were girls loved him to pieces. And....she didn't dislike him, but she was never interested. Although, being essentially forced to go check him out at Shibakuzoi by some of her friends, their excuse being to map it out...or more bluntly, "getting pictures of course!" She had no idea why she did, but hey, it got her out of the house. And it might as well be her way to see him for the first time, cause apart from this famous celebrity, nothing seemed to happen where she lived. Come to think of it, her life was pretty boring over Christmas, apart from the people she met, however that was far off and few between. She shook her head and remembered her train stopped at Shibakuzoi here, and actually grew a small smile. 'Here's hoping...' she would think getting off the train, in her pants, her stark white shirt, and her black jacket, however lacking the headphones for today, and soon she would appreciate that.

If anyone missed the set in town, then they'd be quite blind. It was a decent size of the town portioned off by barriers, and guards. 'Is this kid really that popular? Huh....' she would think. However, her speculation practically melted from her when she heard the lovely music play to the crowd of fans, of many shapes and sizes. Suddenly her mood was actually lightened, and she started to jog a bit to the crowd. Soon the jogging turned into light bounding around the people, as she would try her best to get as close to the front of the crowd. What in the world was her issue? She loved fun, and this event seemed nothing but the sort. She would soon after some effort, make it to the front, looking upon the young boy that would be the apple of every fans' apple-stricken eyes. 'And it's.........a kid in a school boy uniform. Well no one can say he lacks an image...' she thought.

She watched the boy walk to the stage and bow to the crowd, which if she could tell, probably only got louder with his appearance. But then, one of the butterflies that were forming in the pit of her stomach died the moment he spoke. 'Pick people from the crowd?' she thought. Half of her was actually eager to raise her hand. She loved having fun, partying, beach days, they were really her thing. She even DJ'ed one night at a club, though she could hardly call it a "performance" in hindsight, it was exhilarating to go up in view of everyone. Come to think of it, this boy, Katsu!Katsu!, was quite admirable, somehow having all these people who love him. She almost raised her hand out of instinct when he announced his decision, but she pulled it back. That night was making music for around fifty people, and this, this large damn crowd, was going to eat her alive. So many questions started to fill her head. 'Can I even act? Would he even pick me? Is my ego getting too big?' she hit her head slightly with her right hand to get her back to reality. This was her chance! She could have the time of her life. This wasn't even about pictures anymore? Who would kill for a picture for him if that was even a thing. She would get a slight cold sweat even despite this weather, which was certainly not making her choice of having lower-back length hair worth it. Her fears, and her eager state kept her in a permanent state of indecisiveness as she would every so often in the span of his speaking, lift her hand high with the crowd when he spoke, the girls screaming, the boys shouting, however pulling it back when he paused, pulling it up, and back, at random intervals, unable to lose this sense of not knowing what the hell to pick.

Gabby wasn’t a fan of all the loud noise that Katsu!Katsu! was making or of the chatter the fans insisted on creating. As soon as the sound violated her eardrums, she didn’t even know why she had come here. In retrospect, it was probably just something the childish side of her brain had wanted to do. To experience something normal people found entertaining. She, however, was not entertained by the noise or the ruckus being made. The train to Shibakuzoi was at least quiet, if only due to the fact that she had sat in the most empty area she could find. At this rate, she seriously considered just getting back on the train and heading back to Iwaigodai. If she went home now, maybe she would be able to hear herself think. No, that was a bad idea. There was nothing even remotely entertaining happening at home. Then again, this was just as bad an idea. After weighing her options, she picked what seemed like the lesser of the two evils: staying at listening to all the noise. How she figured that was the lesser of the two, she had no clue. Perhaps her judgment was being thrown off by her brain slowly retreating to the back of her mind for safety. Regardless, she slung her backpack over her shoulder and decided to stay to the back of the crowd, trying to be as inconspicuous as she was able to. No sense in getting dragged into something she had only just decided to visit at the last minute. That would be a nightmare worse than the time she dreamed about being stuck in a white room where all people did was stare at her. It made her laugh though when people raised their hands to go on stage. If they were good enough to be on stage, wouldn’t they already be as famous as Katsu!Katsu! was? For that matter, she couldn’t figure out if he was just generous in letting people come up, or if he was so confident in his ability to teach them how to act that he didn’t mind having amateurs up with him. Either way, it was strange. No one was that cocky. At least, she thought no one was.

"Hummms, this is a touch choice! Katsu! Katsu! doesn't know who to pick!" The round eye'd boy would tilt his head innocently to the side while poking his cheek with his right index finger. His round amber eyes would scan the crowd before he'd puff his cheeks and flail his arms like a child. "Katsu! Katsu! knows what he'll do! Juuuust wait!" Suddenly raising both of his hands, he'd place them over his eyes and begin to spin in circles. Spin and spin, the idol made himself dizzy as he tumbled around and raised both arms. Pointing in two random directions, his left hand would be directed towards Lorielle while the right would be pointed straight through the gap in the crowd towards Gabby. There was a brief moment of silence for the fans to soak up what had just happened, and then it hit them like a hammer to a nail. Jealous roars escaped towards the two "lucky" individuals that were randomly chosen to take the stage. If they liked it or not, the crowd would begin to shove them towards the staging area where Katsu! awaited them with a toothy grin. Once/If they arrived, he'd give a bow.

Both of the people he had chosen was taller than him, making him have a nervous laugh as he rubbed the back of his head with a wide smile. He had made the mistake of thinking he had picked a pair of one female and one male, when in reality he had certainly chosen two females. But hey, he didn't know this so there was no blaming him, right? Katsu! placed a hand on his hip while jamming a thumb into the center of his chest with force. "My name is Katsu! Katsu!, but you can call me Sensei! I am, like, gonna show you two the ropes when it comes to acting, ya know?" The young idol wagged a finger before his face while giving a very childish wink. Crossing his arms over his chest, he'd tilt his head as he began to pace back and forth infront of his two trainees. "We're gonna need a super spectacular scene to get you started. Humm, I think I have an idea, ya know! How about this?!" With a snap of his fingers everything went dark, almost as if he did some weird fourth wall breaking and turned off the sun itself, but in reality it was just the bright lights on the staging area. When they came back on, Katsu! would be standing in a doctor's uniform while giving a long meaningful stare towards the blinds of a nearby trailer. "Okay, here's the situation. You are named Beth," He'd point towards Gabby (though he never asked a name so didn't know it), "-and you'll be Jack!" His finger found its ways pointing at Lorielle. "You two are a newly wedded couple struggling with finances for an upcoming operation. So, out of desperation, you come to a shady doctor looking for help. Of course, his services come with a high price. You know if you don't get an operation for your inflated whattsamacallit, you'll die in fifty years"-that didn't seem too urgent of a time-"so you must muster the courage to convince the doctor to give you a discount on his steep prices. Of course, not everything is as it seems~!" Didn't this situation seem abit complex for two new actors, and it seemed all too real? Well, excluding the fifty years part. Also that was way too much scene direction, right? This was just an obvious sign things were about to get odd, but the crowd suddenly fell silent as if the were watching a live action movie. Some even started passing around bags of popcorn.

Katsu! turned away from the two females with his arms crossed over his chest. Shadows fell upon his body as he gave a low chuckle beneath his breath. "You two have made it quite far to reach my secret laboratory." He spoke in a deep voice, apparently already in character for the scene. Hell, did he not give them a chance to even say they wanted no part of his weird training? "I suppose I could give you the operation you need,... for a price, kukuku~" The young pop idol spoke in a raspy tone as he looked over his shoulder towards the two with a sinister stare. At this point he simply stood there and continued to stare at the two. He hadn't given them any lines or notes to go off of, so right now they were stuck improvising whatever he had instore for this "training" session of his.

Lorielle lowered her hand once more, and noticed that the crowd had suddenly grown silent. Her sudden instinct caused her to look at the stage, finding a small finger pointed directly at her. Her face grew a bit hot in shock, and yet, a bit of a giggle escaped her lips, yet was lost through the crowd as the people would soon force her to the stage. She couldn't deny she was shaking, though she did her best to hide it all when she came on stage. She didn't know what to do when Katsu began to bow, so she immediately bowed herself as he did, just in case that was a respectable thing to do. She noticed a boy who came up as well, remembering he did point both of his fingers out. But....wait a second...she would take another glance at him as he arrived on stage about as forced as Lorielle did. 'Is he a boy...? A girl...? But he is so cute...' she thought. H was girl cute, Lorielle would mean. The boy's face had lovely features. But he didn't look very womanly, in the right sort of way. Lorielle wasn't big herself in the chest department, but he had nothing. I mean, he WOULD have nothing, but his face.....

She didn't really have time to dwell on the subject much longer when Katsu started to speak. She would nod as he explained his intention to teach her acting. Was she good at all? 'Shit....I have never acted before....in a commercial at least...' She knows how to put up emotions and whatnot, as decent as she can, since more often than not she tends to be honest anyway. But she doesn't know how that translates into acting. She knew that was all acting was, but what she didn't know is how well she could do it. Either way, her face would follow Katsu as he paced in front of him, before her vision suddenly left her. "What in the world...?" she said a bit louder than necessary. But soon, the lights would return and he would be in a doctors uniform. She would mostly look a bit shocked. 'He changes clothes faster than a male stripper...!' she would keep that thought to herself. "How did you change so fast?" she said putting a muzzle on her own thoughts. Though she would probably go unanswered as he explained the situation. He pointed at the "boy/girl?" next to her calling them "Beth". 'Okay, that could work,' she thought, and she nodded, up until the point where Katsu dubbed her "Jack". She didn't say anything, but her emotions almost spilled out when her mouth went ever so slightly agape. 'Why am I the boy...? I couldn't act as a boy, I couldn't act wet in a thunderstorm...' Lorielle and this person were to be a couple, searching for the one hope to save them, no matter what the cost....or was it being a bit too dramatic in her head? Either way, she tried to get into it.

She watched as Katsu turned away and laughed in a voice clearly lower than a child like him had the right to have. Well, if she was going to be forced to do this, she would damn well embellish on her performance. She would do her best to put on a desperate looking face, trying to put pressure to her head, to try and force some fake crying? Probably wouldn't work, so she would keep the face and try to speak in a lower, hopefully more manly-sounding voice. "Just please fix her!" Lorielle said in gesture to the one next to her, holding her hands out slightly to them. She didn't know if that was her plan to be the victim, but she was now. "Just name your price, a-and I swear, I will pay it!" she said raising her voice a bit. She would wait, as long as she could so hopefully the other new actor could save whatever performance she just gave with their own.

Listening to the way he spoke, Gabby wondered how old Katsu!Katsu! really was. He couldn’t be older than her, certainly not with the way he spoke. Could he? She could just about feel her faith in humanity dying when she saw him spinning on stage. The only worse way to pick someone to go on stage with him was to have everyone play rock, paper, scissors until only a miniscule fraction of the audience was left.  Even flipping a coin seemed like a better idea. But, somehow, she was tempted to laugh at the way he behaved. It wasn’t out of pity or because she thought he was acting ridiculous, which he was, but because she was honestly enjoying the show. It wasn’t often she saw someone acting so much like a child, yet didn’t have the remains of a chocolate bar smeared across his face. She could actually see herself staying for the entire performance, until he stopped and was pointing at her. At first, she glanced around, trying to see if she was seeing things and he was actually pointing at someone else. But, no, it was most definitely her. The next thing she tried to do was run before anyone could notice she had been picked, but it occurred to her that her plan was futile. People were already pushing her to the front of the stage, and there was no way for her to escape. As soon as her feet were at the edge of the stage and she could see Katsu!’s eyes, she nearly cursed under her breath. She only mustered up the courage to get closer, after she pulled her hat almost completely over her eyes.

She looked over the two people she was now sharing the area with. Katsu! was… short. She had expected someone as famous as him to be more of a spectacle. As for the woman who was now with her, she was pretty. She was really pretty. Gabby began to lower her head further and further, trying to evaporate into the air around her. When the lights went out she considered running for the hills again, but she couldn’t see her way out. When the lights came back on, she looked back up to make sure she was still in the same spot she remembered. The only thing that had changed was Katsu!’s clothing. How did anyone change that fast? Before she could even question the physics behind it, he pointed at her and called her Beth. For a second, she was happy that someone could tell she was a girl, and then he pointed at the other girl and called her Jack. With that, she was sure that he just assigned them to be the opposite of whatever sex he thought they were.

As he read off the conditions of the illness, she couldn’t figure out what she was supposed to be suffering from. When ‘Jack’ spoke up, she could only think that it wasn’t the way to bargain. She took a deep breath in, and began to speak, “Considering that you seem to be a far from licensed surgeon and you have to operate out of a secret workspace, I don’t believe you have the push in this situation. At worst, I’ll die in fifty years, which, regardless of our money situation at the moment, should be enough time to gather up the money to have the operation done from a reliable professional. We have no way of knowing if you are even skilled. For all we know, you have no idea how to do the surgery. You have no references for us to go off of, after all. Ignoring all of that, even if you could successfully pull of the surgery and fix my inflated whattsamacallit, your prices are too steep. There is no reason to go to a suspicious doctor that’s just as expensive as a legitimate one. Therefore, I don’t think you are worth our time or resources.” She had spoken so quietly and so fast, that she would be surprised if anyone had heard her. As sonn as she took another breath, she looked at ‘Jack’ and smiled awkwardly, “Sall we find a real doctor now?”

"Bwehehehe~" The Doctor gave a sinister snarl as he kept both arms crossed over his chest. Katsu! was enjoying this role alittle bit too much, as the "man" named Jack begged for his wife's surgery. The doctor, in the meantime, kept his back turned towards the two as the shadows would cast over him in an eerie mask. "Price? Foolish mortal,"-Was this doctor a demon now?!-"your money is no good here!" The doctor looked over his shoulders and flashed a wide toothy grin. "No, I crave something much more!" The doctor exclaimed, as he puffed his chest towards the heavens and took a heroic pose. However doing this time the one named Beth would interject. Looking towards them with round amber eyes, Katsu would continuously nod as if agreeing. Even several seconds after the speech, the Doctor continued to nod before lifting his index finger and thumb to his chin. "Ah yes, I might not look it but I wanted to be a pilot as a child." Wait, did that have anything to do with the drawn out explanation just given on why they shouldn't go to this doctor?! This wasn't helping their case! Suddenly the lights would flicker off again, making the stage go completely dark. "So you think this Doctor is not professional enough, eh? Well then, what about now?! Bwehehehe!"

The lights soon flickered back to life, and standing before them would be the same exact doctor costume Katsu! was wearing before. But wait, there was a minor difference. On his chest was a poorly written sign that said: "Nawt uh suspekious dawktur!" Yes, the spelling was actually that horrendous. The "Doctor" placed his hands on his hips as if he were the greatest man alive while giving a toothy grin. "What do you think now... Belanie..?"-How do you forget the name you made for her?!- "Think I'm not professional enough now? Maybe you haven't seen my certificate." The young idol cleared his throat as he subtly tapped the horribly made sign that was now on his chest. "Now let's get down to business. Your money is not good here. No, the only way I will perform this operation is with an intense game of "scary stories"! Bweheheh~" The Doctor gave his usual sly smile as his round eyes looked away and he rubbing his chin with his right index finger. "What is the game of scary stories, you asked?"-They didn't.-"Whoever tells the scariest story wins, obviously! Noooow JAKKU!" He pointed to Jack. "You tell the first story, then... Marie" -Still the wrong name-"tells the next! Then once you foolish mortals are done, it is my turn. Bwehehe!" The Doctor snickered to himself as he awaited the game to officially begin!

Lorielle herself wanted to stop and question the Doctor, ready to continue her begging act, but the doctor would claim their money was no good. "B-But what do you want then?" she asked. She was waiting for his answer, when the girl/boy next of her made her interjection. As diametrically opposed as their acting was, this person gave a decent performance.....or, better than she think she herself did. 'I am defaulting on girl right now...' she said. She was positive this person was a girl. She didn't know whether to continue her line of acting, or do a complete one-eighty and start agreeing with her. That thought would linger until Katsu spoke once more. "A pilot?" she asked. 'A doctor that wanted to be a pilot? Is he sure this was not done on the fly?' she thought. Soon the lights would go dark again, and then once they returned, Lorielle would catch a sight at the crudely made badge on his suit, the rest of him completely unchanged. Though she was trying to focus, she was unable to hold it in, and a giggle escaped her lips. 'The spelling.....oh the spelling....' she would think. Even if he did it on accident it was a funny joke. She covered her mouth immediately, but he didn't seem to notice as he continued on.

The boy now was now almost acting out of character, if that was even possible for a "character" such as him, putting his hands on his hips and not getting the names of the girl next to her right. Katsu would call attention to his badge once more, and she would giggle once more. It isn't like it was hard to spot, that thing was an eyesore! Though her giggle fit soon ended when he made his wager. To tell the best scary story...'Shit, do I know any?' she thought. Lorielle did have some horror stories in the back of her mind. She could scarcely remember how she knew them. However, she had a joke she could make, about the dog that could talk, but what would be the fun in ruining it all? Then again....could she tell it properly? She would soon remember where she was and hear "Jack" being called. It was her turn. 'Joke or horror....joke or horror...?'

Alright. She had her plan. She would look around, trying to picture it all in her head. 'The Hung Tree......got it!' she would grin and nod her head. "Alright, Hm....I got it....so, Katsu, you can be the prom date, and Beth, you can be Katsu's date," she said grinning as she stepped from the two a couple paces getting the right distance between them. 'Gotta get into it...' she thought. "So this one evening, the couple was going to prom. But unfortunately, the car had broken down on the way, and the only landmarks was a story a mile ahead, and the city a mile back, and the large tree over their car near where they stopped," she said, giving a second to pause to let the setting sink in. Minimal, and it worked for the story. "The prom boy-" she looked at Katsu's face "-wanted to go outside and go on ahead. But the prom girl was worried." she said looking back at the girl. "She was too frightened to join,  but she didn't want him going alone. So the man eventually said he would lock the doors, and put her under a blanket so no one could see her." she said. She would drop her jacket to her normal long-sleeved white shirt and tossed it with both of her hands over the girl in an attempt to get it on her head, to possibly simulate the feeling. Hopefully it would land over her head covering her vision. She paused for a second. 'Did I just do that...?' she thought. She didn't want to ruin the jacket, but she probably wouldn't anyway. Nonetheless, she would continue her story. "He had made sure that when he came back, the girl would hear a sound on the car door as a sort of signal," she didn't know how to make a sound, so she lifted her leg, kicking the ground three times, all out of rhythm, in no particular pattern, but could be done and remembered. She gave another pause to let the atmosphere sink in. "After some time, probably an hour, the woman would hear a tap on the door...." she kicked the ground three times again, trying to make the sounds a bit louder than once before, because this time, it was in a perfect rhythm, completely unlike the knock the couple agreed on. "The girl knew that this set of sounds, and the previous set did not match up....so she didn't come from the blanket....but several minutes later, the same-" she made the noise with her foot in the rhythmic order once more "was heard. She still didn't. It continued throughout the night....until morning, when the first sound she heard was a police siren," she said. 'Am I taking this too seriously?' she thought. She would shift to the girl and remove the jacket, putting it back on, if it landed on her, if not, she would turn to pick it up from wherever it landed to add a semblance of effect before smoothly swooping it back on her. "Once she looked, she saw a police officer outside her door, and was escorted out, but something she caught sight of gave her a bit of a scream," she said. She would take a step or two near Katsu staring at him. "It was the poor man, hanging from the tree, his lifeless hanging body making this sound as it hit the car door," she said before doing the rhythmic movement of her leg on the stage, trying to be a bit louder, but not gratuitous. Once she was done with her story, she realized she was hot in the face, and her cheeks might be red, from all the excitement she got at telling thee story to such a large crowd. She would try to make a couple steps from the crow d to the stage, between the two, in case she needed to hide her embarrassment, as she waited for the reaction from the crowd to begin the "boos" and everything.

Not only could he not remember the name he had given her, but now he had completely gone off the deep end. Actually, she was wondering if he was making a conscious choice to get her fake name wrong as a form of revenge for her half-denial to act. She wouldn’t put it past him. Where people her age supposed to act like this or was he insane. She opted for the later of the two options. No one that wasn’t institutionalized acted this way, or used such atrocious writing. But scary stories? Did she know any? There were some from Fiji, but they were meant for children and the cultural difference would probably not make them scary, but Japanese legends weren’t scary to her. This led her to only one answer: American scary stories. They weren’t has violent or gory as German tales, or as terrifying as the one’s from Spain, but they would do for now. She wasn’t the best story teller in the world though, so she wondered how this would turn out. Good thing American stories were more about content than about how they were told.

She half paid attention to the story ‘Jack’ was telling, and with the other part of her attention, tried to think of a good American horror story. Right about now, she was wishing she could at least pretend she wasn’t already scared out of her mind to be on sage. The only option she had was to best Katsu! and the girl. She had nothing against the girl, but as it stood at the moment, she wanted to beat Katsu!Katsu! at whatever game he was playing. Something about him rubbed her the wrong way, and she couldn’t wait to see the look on his face when he was bested in his own sick little game.  Her attention only came back completely when the jacket was thrown at her. As a natural reflex, she caught it. Upon hearing that it should go over her head, she gladly hid under it. As the other girl ended her story, and removed the jacket from over her head, she stood there and wondered how she was going to tell hers better. At least she had nothing to lose. Besides her pride and her self-respect and her dignity and her sanity. She ended the list prematurely, because she was sure that the very last thing on it led to the beginning of WWIII. That one, at least, would have been an exaggeration.

Before she began her story, she reached into her bag and pulled out two pieces of used paper. She folded them over until they were in triangles the size of her palm and wove them into her hat. With the strange behavior past, she began, “A young girl named Lisa,” She pointed to ‘Jack’, “was often left alone at home because her parents worked late, so they bought her a dog to protect her and keep her company.” With that sentence, she took off her hat, revealing her messy hair, and put it on Katsu! “She loved the dog that kept her company through the long nights.” She mimicked as pose as if she were sleeping. Then she popped her head back up, “He would sleep at the foot of her bed and lick her face in the day. Well, it happened that one night Lisa was awakened by a constant dripping sound.” She clicked her tongue three times, “She got up and went to the kitchen to turn off the tap properly, but it didn’t seem to be on. As she was getting back into the bed she stuck her hand under the bed and the dog licked it reassuringly. The dripping sound continued,” She clicked her tongue again, “so she went to the bathroom to turn off the tap properly in there, too. But, still no water was coming out. She went back to her bedroom and again stuck her hand under the bed, and again the dog licked it. But the dripping continued. So this time she ignored it and let the dog lick her hand. Still the dripping continued.” She clicked her mouth three times to emulate dripping water once more. “This time she listened and located the source of the dripping — it was coming from her cupboard. She opened the cupboard door, and inside was her dog,” she brought her thumb across her throat as if slitting it, “hanging upside down with its neck cut, entrails falling from its stomach and written on the window on the inside of the cupboard door were the words, ‘People Like Too’.” Gabby let the final four words hang uncomfortably in the air right before she laughed under her breath, attempting to sound as maniacal as she could. This story was probably the first thing she was able to say loud enough for people to hear, or just hear, all day. As soon as she realized people were still looking at her, she stopped abruptly, took back her hat, removed the ears, and pulled it down on her head. Anymore, and it would soon cover her nose.

"Katsu! Katsu!'s date?" The innocent round eyed boy would look towards blush and instantly place his hands on his cheeks. Suddenly his face lit up in a blush as he made swaying motions back and forth. "Oh gosh, Becca," -He still somehow got the name wrong- "this is so sudden!" And like a little school girl on the first day of camp, Katsu! would lean forward into the taller "Beth", while looking up to her with innocent eyes. "Please be gentle..~ I'm all yours!" While cuddling up into the chest of "Beth", Katsu! would begin to listen to Loreal's story. Listening to the story completely, Katsu!'s round eyes would begin to water as the various onlookers were also silent. To make the atmosphere even more scary, the stage lights would be dimmed down so it gave an eerie shadowy darkness where the three of them currently stood. "W-Wait! What happened to the guy? Did the cop kill him? I'm so confused!!" The young pop idol puffed his cheeks before shaking his head. "W-wait, if I'm the guy that means I was killed! That's mean, Jackku!" The boy wiped the water from his eyes with complete innocence. There was no time to recover, as Beth was now up to bat with her own scary story to boot.

The round eyed boy listened to the story while watching the girl, yes he figured out he was really a she, began to make what appeared to be some sort of paper creation. As she continued, she used them with her hat for some odd reason. Soon after, she took the hat off herself and placed it on Katsu!'s head, revealing her own messy hair. The round eye'd boy tilted his head in confusion as he gave a few innocent blinks. As the story continued, Katsu would embrace himself as him round amber eyes began to water. Each time she did the three clicks, his ears would twitch. Then finally at the end, a cold chill came down his spine and he closed his eyes. Why were they so good at telling scary stories?! When the hat was taken back, and the girl succumbed to her shyness by lowering it over her own face, the crowd began to cheer from the exciting stories told. Even Katsu! would clap his hands with a sly smile. "Not bad, not baaaad! You two have what it takes to be super stars, ya know?! I chose right to bring you both in this commercial with me, Mmm!" He poked his cheek before placing a hand on his hip. "My story pales in comparison to both of yours, so there's no point in telling it. But, I pwomise it was good!" Katsu! gave a bow to both girls before standing back up and giving a toothy grin. "So, after we film this commercial, how would you two like to go out on a date? I know this awesome three star restaurant in Nokawia that has an open roof. The moonlight would shimmer in comparison to both you beauties." This sudden flirting came out of nowhere, and the intense gaze of his fangirls could be felt on both Lorielle and Gabby's backs. "Oh, I haven't even gotten your names yet. What should I call you two?"

Traits:

She would watch Katsu well up with tears, not really knowing if it was sincere, or if it was acting. She would assume the latter as she continued. She would finish her story, and almost feel bad about it. But she would soon feel fine as the girl got her story down. It was certainly quite the tale, and Lorielle would enjoy it, also noticing the way Katsu would stick near the girl and essentially flirt. 'Is he as old as he looks? Cause he acts older....' he would think.

Once the stories were over, Katsu would give his compliment, and Lorielle would smile and nod, giving a bow to the crowd as they clapped. Was she that good? She felt a bit dubious when Katsu made his claim of his story, then went on to not tell it, but would not comment on it out loud. What did he have? Or was it a bluff? She would continue to think until Katsu would ask them both out to Nokawia. She didn't really ponder to think about it. Why refuse to go out with a famous celebrity? "Oh! I live in Nokawia! Which place?" she said without missing a beat. She maintained her happy face in the face of the girls obviously glaring at them from the crowd. "My name is Lorielle," she would introduce with a bow. A night at a good restaurant with a celebrity, hopefully the other girl would join in on it, whether it was play his offer, or not.

Having Katsu! on her made Gabby feel really uncomfortable. So much so, that she couldn’t even peel him away. She was mostly just paralyzed with confusion. She may not have looked like female, but she still had two X chromosomes. Having a guy cling to her, in public, was one of the most humiliating things ever. How old was he anyway, because he acted like a child. The cheers made her feel all the more embarrassed. Did she really need all the attention she was getting? She wondered if Katsu! ever even had a story planned, or if he was just attempting to make them miserable and do all the work. Either way, he was a complete and total fruitcake. Not just any fruitcake. The kind of fruitcake you by from the convenience store the very last second on the way to visit your elderly old-world German grandmother who has sever dementia and was placed in a home years ago. It was stale, crusty, and probably long past the expiration date and it was feignedly enjoyed by a family that couldn’t even remember who it consisted of. The worst part was that some old lady was yelling at you in German to get out of her smelly room.

She would usually tell people to call her Gabby, but that also implied that she didn’t hate them. Then again, she didn’t hate Katsu!Katsu! He just annoyed her to no end. She stopped to think about that for a moment. A second ago she couldn’t stand his existence, and now he only annoyed her. Her brain really was turning to mush. The worst part was that she could feel people glaring at her. If she said no, they would probably stop her as she tried to leave and make her life hell for rejecting someone famous. If she said yes, they would kill her outright for having the nerve to go on a date with him. She was about to turn him down when the other girl accepted. If she was there too, it probably wouldn’t be as bad. So she nodded her head and spoke, “I’m Gabby.” Maybe he would stop calling her by a variety of strange names.

The young idol gave an innocent smile as he stared at the two females with round amber eyes. "Sooo Loreal-chan, and Gabby-chan? Yosh, I'll have to set up a date in the near future, hmm!" Katsu! removed a yellow cellphone from his pocket and began to type in a number of keys, making a reminder to himself. He had a toothy, innocent grin on his faces as he finished the note and looked towards both the girls. "Okay! Now, let's go film a commercial, yah!" Katsu! moved between both girls and wrapped each of his arms around them both. With that done, he'd begin to walk with them towards the staging area where the director sat. It was going to be an interesting day, Mmm!
