Me: Hello reviewers! I know, I should be updating 'Matchmaker' but this idea has been eating me inside and out so I decided to write it, because y'know why the hell not!? There will be lots of fluff, not specifically in this chapter but still, you've been warned. This story is not for people who are allergic to adorableness (asdf movies anyone?).
Len: Vocaloid belongs to Yamaha co.
Me: I only own myself *hugs self*
All Vocaloids: ENJOY!
Chapter 1: New ideas
A big conference was being held at Yamaha corp. Executives were talking about the Vocaloid project. Representatives from each company (Crypton, Internet co. etc.) were there.
"Alright, give me every idea that you have" The leader commanded.
"We could release a new Vocaloid engine?" one of the representatives asked.
"No, people are still getting used to the V3 engine; let's leave it a little while longer"
"We could release an append for one of the older Vocaloids?"
"I don't feel we need any more appends at the moment"
The room went silent.
"No more ideas?"
The Crypton Future Media representative raised her hand.
"Yes?"
"We could make a already born human into a Vocaloid?"
…
"Explain?" The leader asked "I'm intrigued"
"Well, why don't we get a fan and match their personality with one of the Vocaloids. That Vocaloid is their "master". That "master" shows the fan around and becomes their friend. Give the fan a experience in the Vocaloid world. Then, after a month, if the fan is happy and wants to stay he/she becomes the new Vocaloid. If not, then he/she will be brought back to the physical world and we'll try someone else. Who's that?"
"That's… THAT'S PERFECT!"
"Wait!" The CFM representative held out her hand "We don't know if a human can survive in the virtual world. Let's start with the Character Vocal Vocaloids and if that fan survives then we can expand the program"
"Hmm, alright. What will happen if this program fails?"
"We might have to shut down Vocaloid entirely" The CFM representative thought. The consequences for trapping and killing a human. She shuddered.
"Excuse me" the leader grabbed out his phone and started to talk in a hushed tone.
A suspenseful silence enveloped the room.
He hung up and turned to the CFM representative (such a long name XD).
"I talked to the legal department. Do not let this project fail. I'm counting on you"
"So I can go through with the project?"
"Yes"
"I won't let you down!" She saluted with a giggly smile.
"Meeting dismissed"
Meanwhile, a girl was lying on a hospital bed. She gave a ragged cough then wheezed.
The girl was 14-year-old Akaya Tenshi (translates into 'Ya Red Angel'. Did not know that when I picked the name :D).
Her disease left her for dead. It was expected that she would go into coma and die soundlessly. She had no family to visit her or care if she died.
This sparked the CFM representative's interest.
She walked into the hospital and told them her plan to use Akaya for the test.
They understood and led her to the girl's room.
She opened to see a coughing little girl. Her long dark red hair was layed out like a halo. Her equally red eyes stood out against her sickly pale skin.
All the representative could make out was "hello"
Akaya's POV:
I gave a cough. The door opened and a woman walked in. I expected it to be a nurse but it wasn't.
She was dressed in a white button-up top and formal black skirt with matching high heels. Her long brown hair (I'm basing this off the girl from Yanderenka by Len) flowed down her back. She looked at me with hazel eyes.
"Hello" she said.
"Hi"
"How are you doing?"
"Good. Not to be rude but do I know you?"
She laughed and sat beside me.
"No. I'm Tomo Koshiki ('Official Friend' if you write it the Japanese way: Koshiki Tomo). I'm from Crypton Future Media"
"Crypton? The company that made the CV series?" No way was a representative of Crypton here. It can't be true! No one cares about me this much!
"Yes, Crypton. I've got an opportunity for you"
"Opportunity?"
"Yes. You see, we think that we've finally found the way to turn real-life humans into virtual Vocaloids"
Ms. Koshiki explained to me everything about this idea of hers.
"And we want you to be the test subject!" She told me, happily.
"Why me? No one cares about the sick freak" I mumbled more to myself than her.
"We want you because you're one of the top Vocaloid fans. Your nurse told me that Vocaloid is the only thing that cheers you up since you have no family"
"I'm sick and could die any second"
"Your virtual body isn't. I'm being sympathetic. Y'know, I was the freak as well. I want to give you a better life"
"So if, after a month, I want to stay you'll make me into a CV Vocaloid?"
"Yes"
I thought about the pros and cons:
Pros:
1. I'll be free from this Hospital bed
2. I won't be sick anymore
3. I'll spend time with the CV Vocaloids
4. If I enjoy the experience, I'll become a Vocaloid!
5. ITS FREAKING VOCALOID WE'RE TALKING ABOUT!
Cons:
1. The Vocaloids might not like me
2. I might not survive the transition to the virtual world and back
3. If I don't like it, I get sent back to my sick physical body
Hmm, 5 to 3.
"I'll do it" I smiled at Ms. Koshiki.
"Great! I'll transport you to your ward at Crypton. That will be where your physical body will stay until you come back. If you come back. I'll explain what happens afterwards when we get there"
The nurse assigned to me came in and Ms. Koshiki explained what'll happen.
The nurse reeled my bed down to an ambulance which was positioned next to a black and teal Hatsune-themed car.
"I'll see you at Crypton" Ms. Koshiki gave me a smile.
"Thank you Ms. Koshiki"
"Call me Tomo"
"Okay. Thank you Tomo-senpai"
The doors closed and I was left alone.
A little nap wouldn't hurt, right?
I woke up in a different white room. Tomo was sitting next to me, typing on her computer.
"Tomo-senpai?"
"Good to get a nap in before you go into the virtual world so I let you sleep"
"Thanks"
"I've let the Vocaloids know that you're coming. Your personality matched Kagamine Len's. Do you know Len?"
I nod, "He's the male CV_02, mirror image of Rin Kagamine"
"Good. Change out of that hospital gown. Clothes are in the closet. I'll send in some clothes virtually once I figure out how. I'm sure the twins will share until then" She smiled and pointed at the closet.
I opened it to see lots of clothes. All of them to my liking.
How did Tomo know that my favourite colours were black, white, red and grey?
I grabbed some black shorts and put them on. Followed by a white shirt, a grey zip-up hoodie and brown boots.
I grab the nearest hairbrush (the hell did that come from?) and brushed my hair out (bed hair sucks).
I walked out to Tomo.
"Are you ready for the Vocaloid world?"
"Yeah"
"Okay"
I went into a coughing fit.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, you said my virtual body is healthy so I have nothing to worry about!"
This will prolong my imminent death I thought bitterly but kept a smile on my face.
"Step into that pod there" she pointed at a glass tube that I've never seen before.
I stepped inside and the glass door closed behind.
"Don… touch… walls" Tomo's voice was muffled "Close… eyes. Count… ten th… reopen… them"
"Don't touch the walls, close my eyes, count to ten and then reopen my eyes?" I asked a Tomo nodded.
I closed my eyes.
1
I heard a button being pressed and Tomo saying "goodbye"
2
I felt myself being lifted up. I felt like I was weightless!
3
I got butterflies as the floor left me.
4
There was a whirring sound around me.
5
I felt myself start to change. I resist the urge to reopen my eyes.
6
Four more seconds to go!
7
The whirring stopped. I can't take it anymore!
I reopened my eyes. Everything around me was pixelated and I wasn't in a tube anymore.
I couldn't move much.
I looked down, I looked animated. Imagine Migikata No Cho live and that's the kind of 3D animated that I look like.
Except I'm not a hologram.
My hair seemed longer and brighter and my skin wasn't sickly pale. This is what Tomo meant when she said my virtual body was healthy.
Suddenly everything shined white. I closed my eyes.
I felt gravity return and I felt a floor underneath.
Wow! It really did take 10 seconds!
I reopened my eyes once again. I wasn't in a tube or at the lab. I was in a living room of some sort.
I felt different somehow. Refreshed like a web page.
I noticed that there were people sitting on the couch. My eyes widened.
The Kagamine twins were sitting on the floor in front of the couch, absorbed in a video game. Miku Hatsune had her headphones in and was absorbed in her music. Meiko was reading a magazine and occasionally pointed things out to Luka Megurine, who was reading her own. Kaito was indulging in some ice cream.
No one seemed to notice me.
I looked myself over. Same clothes, same anime appearance. I sighed in relief and literally everyone stopped their activities and looked at me.
"Akaya Tenshi?" Luka asked, sounding suspicious.
I nodded nervously.
Are they going to hate me?
Len paused the game and walked over to me.
Surprisingly, he gave me a spin hug and yelled, "WELCOME!"
When he let me go I fell on the floor in front of Rin.
"Can the world stop spinning please? I'd like to get off" I mumbled.
When the ride ended I sat up.
"Hello, Akaya. I'm assuming there's no need for introductions?" Meiko asked.
"Nope!"
"I like her already!" Rin glomped me.
I'm going to like it here!
Me: I'm sure you will, Akaya. I'm sure you will ^_^
Len: Review and you'll get a spin hug from me!
Me: I WANT ONE! -jumps into Len's arms- YAY!
Meiko and Luka: '-_- she has his personality alright!
