LGRPG Ch. 4
Author's Note: I think it's a good idea to re-write all of the author's notes because right now I'm feeling very calm (It's Halloween night as I edit this.) and it's a hell of a lot less frightening than the random spew of words and bursts and emoticons I used to use 98.9% of the time. I don't own anything. This chapter involves squealing fangirls and my OC being a weeaboo. But that's the point. She calls herself an otaku, does she not?
*Warning*- In my head canon, Luka swears when she's angry or extremely irritated. She is in this chapter. Thus a lot of foul language. You've been warned.
Narrator POV-
Gakupo stood patiently in the recording booth. Rin and Len sure knew how to interrupt the producer in the middle of another artist's song. He shook his head; he could hear Rin's yapping from the hallway. He smiled to himself. The producer dragged herself back into the room. "Jinito-san, are we continuing now?" Gakupo asked. "Oh- yes of course." She dropped herself into her chair and turned on the mic so that Gakupo could hear her clearly. "Have you ever felt like you desperately need a nap after speaking with Kagamine Rin?" Junko asked. "Ah, yes but Rin-chan is harmless." He chuckled.
"I wouldn't be so sure. Okay, recording starts in 3…2..." Junko skipped the last number as she hit a few buttons on the sound table. A creepy, upbeat, mid-evil tune started up. His new song was titled The Madness of Duke Venomania. Gakupo waited for the sign to start-
"Kyou mo mata utsukushii onna ga boku no moto otozureru
Hohoemi wo ukaberu anata wa atarashii tsuma to naru
Kindan no akuma to no keiyaku te ni ireta kono chikara
Boku wo mita subete no onna wa miryou sare ochite iku"
He stopped and waited for his next line of lyrics. A short instrumental played where a female voice should be. Miku's pre-recorded voice picked up with the next line. Then another short instrumental and Miku's voice following. Gakupo stopped. Junko hit a button and the music faded out. "Is there a problem Kamui-san?" she asked. "There is supposed to be another voice-" he trailed off. "Yes, I am aware of that. Kagamine Rin was supposed to sing that part but she dropped out on account of it being too 'innapropriate' of a song for someone of her age." She said. "Then how are we supposed to continue?" He asked. Junko went silent. "I don't know. They told me to continue with it. I only got promoted to a producer yesterday." She dropped her forehead onto the sound table in frustration.
Gakupo watched the green-haired woman for a moment. "It's alright. I'm sure we can find someone to do the part tomorrow. You should probably just go take a break…" He softly suggested. Junko stood from her chair. "Good plan" she said, mostly to herself. "I'll see you tomorrow, Kamui-san." She bowed and left. Gakupo opened the door and stepped out from the recording booth. He turned off the sound table's switches that Junko had forgotten about and headed back to the gigantic apartment that he shared with Kaito and Len.
Meanwhile-
"Crap crap crap crap crap crap crap cra-"
"Quite an extensive vocabulary you have there, sis" Luki sarcastically commented as the trio rushed through the airport. "Shut up, princess." Luka said in annoyance, glancing over her shoulder at him and realizing that Alaska was lagging far behind. "Ali, speed it up!" Alaska sighed and ran to keep up with the fast-walking woman. Luka turned her head back to the front to focus on where they were headed. "The flight is leaving in five minutes." Luki set his gaze upon her gold and black suitcase. "Sis, we didn't check our bags…"
"Fuck the checking of the baggage." She spat. "Okay, now you're just not speaking modern English." Alaska said. "I don't give a damn, just keep walking and if we get into trouble for not checking in I will handle it." said Luka. "Whether it means I have to flirt with the flight attendant or murder the flight attendant I'm not going to be fucking late." She thought.
She heard a thump and a crash. Luka halted and looked back to see what happened. "Hey, watch it!" Luki gasped as he attempted to avoid a collision. Though this attempt failed and he ended up on the ground, entangled with a boy with teal hair who looked a bit younger than him. A girl with matching teal hair stood a few feet away. "Mikuo, when will you learn?" She shook her head. Luka recognized the girl as Hatsune Miku, no doubt the most famous Vocaloid and the boy as her brother who practically seemed to be the gender-bent version of Miku herself. Luka actually wished that she wasn't currently pissed, that way she could speak with the Diva. Miku reluctantly reached out her arm and helped up Mikuo. Luki stood himself up.
The teal-haired boy looked at Luki and couldn't seem to take his eyes away. His face turned pink. Luki, on the other hand, had no problem averting his eyes. He did have a problem hiding his red face though. Alaska was now standing next to Luka and watching the two. "fangirling starts in 3…2…" she said as a warning. Luka pinched her arm- this was their usual way to suppress Alaska's fangirl urge so that she wouldn't squeal- and Alaska winced. She instantly felt no more need to squee.
"Sorry for yelling…Mikuo, is it?"
"Er…yeah"
"Sorry for yelling, we're just kinda frustrated right now. Do you know where the Japan flight's seating area is?" Luki asked.
"Yes we do." Miku stepped in. "In fact, we're headed there right now." She smiled. Realization finally struck Luki. "Hey! You're Hatsune Miku!" The diva giggled "I know right!". Luka shook her head. The Megurine/Tsukine trio grouped with the Hatsune duet and the new group made it to the boarding room just in time. They boarded the plane without complaint from the flight attendant about the large amount of baggage due to the lethal death glare Luka shot at her.
Luka walked through the aisle of the airplane, finally calm down from her annoyance and fear of not being punctual. She heard the sound of slightly high-heeled boots rushing up behind her. "So YOU'RE the new Vocaloid!" Miku said happily. "Yeah, I guess. That is unless I somehow manage to screw up so badly on the first day that they kick me out." Luka shrugged. Miku giggled. "I doubt that that would happen! So…Which Vocaloid are you most excited about meeting? Well, other than me of course, since we've already met." Luka paused to look around for the seats that her ticket assigned. "Well…Honestly, I don't know any other Japanese Vocaloids but you." Luka admitted. She really did love the music that they put out but she was more interested in becoming a Vocaloid than fangirling over one.
Miku opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by Alaska behind her. "Say, Miku-chan…" She said casually, despite the fact that the girl she was talking to was a world famous J-pop artist. "Will you trade your plane ticket with mine? Please? It's for the sake of fluffy yaoi!"
"Yaoi? OH MY LEEKS! I LOVE YAOI!" Miku squealed. She and Alaska exchanged plane tickets. Luka face-palmed "What the hell is she up to now?" she muttered, watching Alaska run to Luki and force her new ticket into his hand. Ohhh, I get it. Miku originally sat next to Mikuo and then she traded with Alaska who traded with Luki. So the two teenage boys have to sit together. Luka grunted, stuffing her extremely over-sized suitcase under the passenger's chair in front of her. She managed to grab the window seat before Alaska plopped down in the chair next to her; and Miku in the aisle seat.
Luka looked over at her brother, in one of the seats across the aisle from her, who was fighting to keep a blush off of his face as he sat next to a rather attractive Mikuo. Then she looked over at her icy-haired best friend. "You're so pathetic that you'd use my bashful homo brother as a pleasurable visual aid purely for your own entertainment?"
"Hey, Miku's watching it too! It's absolutely adorable, Luka!"
"Yeah! It's really kawaii desu-yo!"
"Crazy Shōjo fangirls" Luka muttered under her breath. The plane took off and the flight was fairly uneventful. The plane landed sometime around early morning. Miku enthusiastically suggested that she take them to the apartment that Luka would be living in along with Miku and the other girl vocaloids. "Maybe I can pull some strings and let you stay there a few nights." She smiled at Alaska.
"Oh that'd be awesome Miku-chan!" Alaska apparently liked the liberty to add titles to the end of names, an uncommon practice in America. Though she wasn't even speaking Japanese.
"I don't care what we do today, but let's go to a market and buy some tuna. I haven't had any for the past four days and I might drop dead right here."
End Note: Thank you for reading. I like reviews. I also like apple cider. I hope I have some in my refrigerator. 'Till next chapter!
