Another sucessful concert. Cheering crowds, screaming fans, and only certain vocaloids going back onstage to take a bow.
They were known as "the IT crowd" to the other lesser known vocaloids, and the IT crowd was the top of every social scene, had the most songs and were everyone's favorite vocaloids.
The IT crowd was made up of eight vocaloids.
Meiko, who was said to be the "Drunken mother" of the group. Her powerful voice and hard-ass personality made her likable for some reason
Gakupo, who had the longest hair out of any male vocaloid and had that weird thing with samarai. There was a collection of samarai swords that belonged to him backstage.
Gumi, who was mostly known for her song Echo, and for her lower voice, and constant female slash duets.
Rin and Len, who were known for being adorable, and were pretty easy to picture in any song.
Kaito, with his weird personality, and total addiction to ice cream. The "big brother" of the group.
Luka, being part of the #1 ship in the vocaloid society with her unique voice and pink hair because who doesn't love pink hair?
And Hatsune Miku, the princess, the queen of the vocaloids, the first, the fan favorite.
Those were the faces that the vocaloid franchise was associated with. Those were the vocaloids that got all the fame, the interviews, the love from the crowd.
So that meant the other vocaloids would sit backstage, occasionally getting lucky enough to sing one song, and wait for the concerts to be over.
Or some of them would peer through the curtains hoping for their own chance at stardom.
One of those vocaloids was Oliver.
He was younger then the others and "had yet to have his dreams brutally crushed" according to some of the other vocaloids. But Oliver didn't mind that most of his fame came from youtube, or that his songs were a little creepy.
He just wanted to sing.
"Stop staring at them. It won't do anything" Fukase grumbled in annoyence. The redhead was known for being snarky, bad tempered and occaisionally aggressive.
But Oliver liked him anyways.
"I want to be out there!" Oliver said for the sixth hundreth time.
"Find someone who cares" was Fukase's response.
"You should be out there too." the younger said earnestly. "You have a great voice. They'd love you"
"Or they'd make fun of my face and call me fuck-ass" Fukase said shrugging, but there was no mistaking the gleam of longing in his eye.
"I think your face is intresting" Oliver said.
"I think the creators screwed up" Fukase said, glaring at his reflection in a screen.
There had been rumors going around that the manufacturing system had glitched out while programming Fukase's appearence.
"But..."
"Shut up and go away"
"He wasn't doing anything bad" a femine voice said.
Fukase slapped the owner of the voice's head. "No one asked you"
Utatane Piko looked up from the screen of the iphone he'd stolen off a sercurity gaurd. "Hey! I'm trying to hack Miku's fanbase! I've almost got it this time!"
The albino was constantly trying to cyber attack the It crew, even though his attempts were futile. Despite being a computer himself, the albino was facinated by other electronics.
"Piko-kun! Fukase's being mean!" Oliver whined.
"That's Fukase-sempai to you!" Fukase snapped, kicking at the younger vocaloid.
Piko hid a smile behind his phone.
"You don't love me any more?" Oliver said, turning on his puppy dog eyes.
"I..ugh...fine go back to staring, whatever, I don't care" Fukase said, trying to look away from Oliver.
"And Oliver wins" Piko said quietly. Fukase smacked him again.
"OW!"
"Again! No one asked you!"
A few moments later the Master stepped into the room. A tall man with unknown age, the master was never seen without some sort of mask. It was rumored only Miku knew what the man looked like.
"Good job everyone, now the stars are going to be back here in a moment so I'll wait for them before I announce the big news..."
Even the Master played favorites...
Fukase felt himself zoning out as the master droaned on.
"Sir? Could you take your mask off?" Oliver asked.
Fukase along with half the backstage population groaned. Oliver asked this every time to no avail.
"Not today I'm afraid...oh." the Master trailed off as the IT crew walked backstage.
"Hi everyone!" Miku said brightly.
The other vocaloids mumbled greetings, or if you were Fukase, rolled their eyes.
The Master went on to talk about some new way of reccording songs that Fukase didn't care about whatsoever. Before he knew it the vocaloids were speaking again.
"IA keeps telling me I should go in for a virus scan" Piko said as a way of conversation. "Keeps saying that there's this weird echo under my voice. Does it sound echo-y to you?"
"Whatcha doing Piko?" Rin Kagamine said coming over to them.
Piko jumped and almost dropped the phone.
"Hey, is that Miku's fanbase?" Rin asked suspiciously.
"N-no"
"OH MY GOD PIKO'S TRYING TO HACK MIKU'S FANBASE" Rin screamed.
The other vocaloids turned towards her voice. Piko looked like a deer caught in headlights.
"Is this true?" the Master said in a scarily soft voice.
"Y-yes but..."
"It wasn't him" Fukase spoke up. "It was me. He was trying to cover for me."
Both Piko and Oliver's eyes widened.
"Well" the master said. "I see the resident freak has made himself more of an outcast."
Fukase's face burned the color of his hair. He turned to leave as the other vocaloids went back to their conversations.
"Hey" Fukase turned around at the sound of Piko's voice.
"Thanks. You didn't have to..."
"Just be more careful" Fukase snapped, and continued walking ignoring Oliver's shouts of "Fukase-sempai where are you going?"
Don't ever let them see that the comments hurt.
