Second Audition – OathToOblivion's Gou

Questionnaire answers from the respondent will be posted in bold and italic below.

1. Name to go by. Those who choose an alias from a fictional program or use their login name from will be the target of much lampshading and jokes from the Neptunia cast. Since you know I don't like using my actual name, I'd probably either app Gou's name again like I did for Remnants, or just use OathToOblivion.

2. Physical Description and rough level of physical fitness. 5'9", brown skin, black hair, glasses, slightly overweight. I can run pretty fast, but my stamina isn't the absolute best. Not to say it's bad or anything, it's just...slightly subpar.

3. Approximate level of education. For those with higher education like college/university, what field did you specialize in? Graduated high school, currently in college for Computer Engineering.

4. Any character tics such as catch phrases or gestures that you use in real life? Can't really think of any...although, off-topic, I did figure out what my hypothetical henshin pose would be. Does that count?

5. What type of video games do you like to play? If it's Nintendo-made, I like playing it, although I have a small preference for Pokemon. I also like playing Ace Attorney as well. Got the Metroid Prime Trilogy lately and it's not too bad. Oh, and I like Mega Man Battle Network.

6. Have you ever played an Idol Raising game like Idolmaster before? Nope.

7. As the Producer, you will be expected to get the Goddesses up to speed on how to be an idol. With that in mind, what rhythm games will you use to set up your initial training program and how much time per day will you schedule for those games? Rhythm games? Oh...I don't really know any. I suppose DDR? We have a Disney version floating around the house somewhere, and my sisters love Just Dance.

8. What is the extent of your Kamen Rider knowledge? I think you already know that about me, although I'm more knowledgeable about the later Heisei Riders from Den-O onwards.

9. How much Kamen Rider Drive would your insert character have watched prior to being brought into the Idol Dimension? I'm keeping current as episodes air.

10. Which CPU and CPU Candidate are you likely to get along with the most? From the CPUs, probably Blanc, since I love Nintendo and that'll probably end up getting on her good side. From the Candidates...Nepgear is apparently the nicest of them, so I wouldn't have any issues with her.

11. Which CPU and CPU Candidate are you likely to get along with the least? Honestly, from the CPUs, the one I would get along with least would probably be Neptune. Depends on how annoying she is. From the Candidates, I can't really think of anyone...maybe Ram's apparent brash personality, but other than that?


"Onii-chan? Um… I have a request."

The dark skinned youth looked up from his workstation to see a small girl in a blue winter jacket over a plain gray and white overall dress peeking shyly into his office. The jacket itself has puffed sleeves and a frilled center part with many golden buttons, a collar with a big bow and six puffballs strategically placed. At the ends of the cuff is white fur lining and a big golden button. Her hat looked similar to Blanc's and while her boot designs had some visual resemblance to her jacket. She also had a pink shoulder purse. In her hands were a big sketchbook and some crayons.

Gou never understood how she and her twin sister didn't get hot wearing those winter outfits in the Basilicom.

"Rom-chan? What is it?"

Rom stepped into the office, clearly showing that she was trying to fight her nervousness for this request. "Today, I want you to play with me."

"Uh…" He wasn't sure if there was time for it. He was working hard on putting together a good follow up track after a modest and successful debut single for Blanc. He needed to spend time on booking compatible background vocalists and session musicians, coordinate studio time and book a spot in the work queue so that sound engineers would mix and master the final recording in time for release.

Rom's face fell upon hearing his hesitation. "I… can't?"

"S-sure…" If it were possible for arteries to clog up from pure, unadulterated cuteness, Gou was certain that he would have dropped dead on the spot from five simultaneous heart attacks. Ah, well… he could use a break anyways. "But just for a bit. I have to do something with your older sister later."

"Yay! Then let's draw together!" The small girl made herself at home in the office space, taking the seat on the opposite side of Gou's desk while setting up her supplies. "I draw a lot together with Ram-chan but I never had a chance to draw with you. Is it fine?"

"I'm not really a good artist though," mumbled Gou while grabbing a piece of scrap paper from his recycling bin at the foot of his desk.

"It's okay! We'll use the crayons together!" She glanced at her crayon box. "By the way, what colour does Onii-chan like? I like blue because it's cute! It's why I use up all the blue crayons first."

"I guess I like Red." After all, the Red ones are typically the team leaders in Super Sentai. With that in mind, he grabbed the Red crayon and started doodling while Rom happily hummed to herself for the next twenty minutes. "What are you drawing anyways?"

"It's a secret!" To emphasize that point, Rom held her sketchbook close to her chest. "It's something to look forward to when I'm done. No peeking, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah…"

"But I'll give you a hint. It's something that I-" At that moment, Gou glanced at the clock and let out a small gasp.

"Geez, it's time already? Sorry, but I need to go now." He locked his workstation and went to get a coat for the cool outdoor weather.

"Okay…" For a second, Rom looked pretty sad which sent a pang of guilt right through the young man's chest but she recovered quickly. "Then I'll show you my drawing when you get back!"

"I can't wait to see it!"


"As I thought, the bookstore is nice and quiet at this time of the day." Blanc's eyes carefully scanned the numerous titles that filled the bookshelves in front of her.

'We rushed out early for this?' Not that Gou didn't mind because it was a bit relaxing but weren't there other more pressing things to handle? MOB48 still had over 80 percent of the Shares. They really needed to get into gear and strike while Blanc's star was on the rise.

"The store hasn't been open for that long so there aren't many other customers around. We can take our time and browse for books." Her hand reached out to pick up a book and examine the summary before placing it back. "Ordering books online is fine but coming to a physical bookstore like this gives a better sense of enjoyment that you can't get from just ordering through a computer."

"Maa… I guess I can understand that feeling." Okay, let's see if he could get her in the mood for some proper work to be done so that today isn't completely wasted. "Look, Blanc…"

"Ah… a new release came today!" Off she went to go through another pile of books while Gou just stared.

"Why are you taking the book at the bottom of the stack instead of the top one?"

"It's quite simple," replied the Lowee Goddess. "I want to get a copy that nobody's touched yet. After all, someone could have browsed the top books before."

"Okay there…"

Once she retrieved her copy, she looked around a bit more and wondered if there was anything else that she wanted to pick up. "By the way, what kind of books do you like?"

Gou took a moment to think about it before he spotted the title 'Turnabout Trial' on a book's spine and something came to mind. "Probably legal thriller adventure stories like that one."

"Heh… interesting choice but I can see someone like you enjoying that. That's good taste." An idea came to Blanc. "You know, since we're already here, we can each buy a book separately now and swap them later."

"Sure, why not?"

After paying for the new books, the pair left the bookstore and were about to head back to the Basilicom when the young lady stopped. "You know, it would be a waste to head back so quickly after buying just a few books."

"Then what do you want to do?" Honestly, if this kept up, that would be one less day to work on the important projects at hand and more stress built up in his system.

"Let's grab some lunch at that coffee shop over there." Moments later, the pair got in line and waited for a few minutes before getting to the order counter. Gou immediately found an item on the menu that he wanted to get and placed his order.

"I'll get a Mozzarella and Sundried Tomato Panini, fries and a bottle of Ice Tea."

Blanc followed up a second later. "Um… my drink order will be QuattroVentiExtraCoffeeVanillaCaramelHazelnutsAlmondExtraHoiVertChipWithChocolateSauceWithCaramelSauceAppleCrambeFrappe."

"…" Both Gou and the cashier simply stared at the young lady upon hearing that weird drink order. It took her a moment to figure out what was wrong.

"Ah, right… I needed to order a food item as well. In that case, I'll have a Ham and Swiss Sandwich please."

"… was that some sort of incantation or a spell?" asked her brown skinned companion in a puzzled tone.

"What are you talking about? That's no incantation. It's my drink order."

"…"

The time flew by quickly once Gou and Blanc got back to the Basilicom and back to work. While the Lowee Goddess went to her rehearsals, Gou had to spend hours on conference calls, getting all the logistics in place for the next few promotional events on the schedule. The only bright spot during that long work session was seeing Rom's drawing which looked like something out of a toku show but he wasn't sure if it was supposed to be someone from Metal Heroes, Kamen Rider or Super Sentai. Still, she did draw it for his sake so it was quite nice of her. He would have to frame it and find a nice spot in the office to hang it from.

By the time he finished his job list for the day, it was night time in Lowee. Considering that he had an early start tomorrow with a studio appointment, Gou opted to go to bed. The last thoughts on his mind as he drifted off to sleep were of home and how the Kamen Rider RPs on Spacebattles were faring.


"Is Onii-chan asleep?"

Sure, she should have been in bed by now but when Ram was in the mood to play, there wasn't too much that could stop her. Her outfit was similar to Rom's but her coat and hat colours were pink while her purse was light blue and worn over her right shoulder. Her hair was also longer as well at least compared to Rom and Blanc.

"Ah, geez… I came out here to play. If he's sleeping, I won't forgive him!" It's barely past ten in the evening! Where was his night life?!

An idea came to Ram and she moved in to get into the bed as well. "Ooh~! It's soft and warm! Perfect on a winter night!"

It really was comfortable. In fact, she could feel herself yawning and…

"No, I can't fall asleep! Stay focused, Ram-chan!" One finger went up and…

*Poke*

*Poke*

*Poke*

*Poke*

*Poke*

Her poking of Gou's cheek only caused him to groan once but he remained asleep.

"Hehehe… he doesn't like it! Maybe I'll…" Her hand moved to begin patting his forehead which put a bit of a goofy smile on his face.

"Q-quit it, mom," mumbled the young man in his slumber.

"Ahahaha! What a weird and funny face! But he's not waking up even after I'm doing all these pranks…" She could try sticking flowers in his face but finding fresh flowers around here was tough sometimes.

Her eyes spotted a box of tissue on the nightstand and another idea came to her. "I saw this on TV once. If you put a wet tissue to a person's face, it'll wake even the heaviest of sleepers! Onee-chan said never to do it but if it's Onii-chan, it should be fine!"

Immediately, Ram got out of the bed and grabbed a piece of tissue before soaking it in tap water from the nearby bathroom. She made sure it was nice and cold before placing it on Gou's face. "Ei! Now wake up!"

No response.

"Eh…? Did I do it wrong?" She quickly removed the tissue and examined it for a second, holding it right in front of her own eyes. "Was I fooled by the TV?"

"Rrrraaaammmm…"

"EEEEEKKK!" The girl was extremely startled as she saw the sleepy face of Gou stare directly at her, totally unamused by the whole situation while bits of moisture hung on his cheeks and nose. "You surprised me! But it's good that you're awake! My plan was a success!"

"What. Were. You. Doing?" His disheveled hair and his annoyed, sleepy look made him appear rather intimidating.

"I crawled into your bed and started poking you and patting you which made your face funny like a pig but because you didn't wake up after all of that, I put a wet tissue to your face!"

"… so you said you wanted to play, huh?" muttered Gou while fumbling for his glasses on the nightstand. Well, no point in going back to sleep right now. But he had to punish Ram for her rude awakening. "I got just the thing."


"Ugh… finally, I have time to work on my novel. There's not much time until the submission deadline for Rookie of the Year. Come to think of it…"

She hadn't given a proper tour of Lowee to Gou ever since he dropped into this world and chose to work with her as her Producer. She would have to fix that sometime but it didn't look like they would have a good clear schedule for a while. 'Maybe I should pick up 101 Guardragons.'

Sure, it may just be a picture book but it's a famous one in Lowee. It would help her friend learn more about the landmass he was helping to save.

Just as Blanc got settled down in her desk, she heard the frustrated screaming of one of her little sisters in the room next door and went down to check what was going on. "Gou, what are you doing?"

"Ram-chan here wanted to play and rudely interrupted my bedtime for that. So I'm making her play Kaizo Mario World."

"Onii-chan is cruel! GAH!" And down went Mario again, hitting an unlucky Hidden Block to fall to his doom.

"… just keep it down. I'm trying to get a little work done before bed." With that, she closed the door, leaving the pair while heading back to her workstation.

'Now then… the development here is…'

*TAP*TAP*TAP*

'No, it's no good like this. If I execute it the way it is, it'll look too similar to the plot development of the novel I read yesterday.'

*TAP*TAP*TAP*

'Ugh… I can change this sequence but that'll throw off my foreshadowing and conclusion…'

Before the urge to cuss up a storm came over her, a message window popped up on her monitor from her R&D Department. "Lady Blanc, are you busy?"

"Make it quick," came her quickly typed reply.

"The feasibility study has been completed and we can go forward with constructing the Driver if you wish."

"Then get started on it in the morning."

With that out of the way, she could get back to her more important work at hand while the muffled screams of Ram could barely be heard through the closed doors.

FINALIST SPOT AWARDED.


Finally got one down and it's a finalist spot! So congrats to Oath for making the cut. I got plenty of help from the Neptunia Drama CDs to put this one together so I'm thankful for guys like Ex Sol doing translations for them on YouTube.

So who will be next?

MINOR EDIT: Oath's a vegetarian so order got changed. Wow, who knew?
