Chapter 2: We Found A Desperate Vocaloid!
Rin and Len checked their pockets once inside a clothing store they had found. Why? Well since they were no longer angels, they needed money to buy things. Luckily, they still had money and were also given money as Ring revealed seconds later.
Now that they were fallen angels, they would need to blend in with the rest of society to look more normal than they did now.
"Ta-da! We are now in business!"
After an hour-mostly spent on Rin-the two found what they wanted to wear and bought the outfits. Then, they changed into them in a bathroom.
Rin now wore her white bow still but with black barrettes in her hair now. She wore a black tank with yellow lace. The straps were thin and tied around her neck and her back was still exposed. On her hips she wore a yellow plaid pleated skirt with black lace and a white belt. Her boots she wore had 2inch heels and were black with buckles.
Len now had black headphones around his neck and wore a black hoodie with an orange inside and a white shirt underneath of that. His pants were now dark denim jeans and he had sneakers which were orange with white soles.
Both appeared to look more normal than they did earlier.
"So, you're going to find help now?" Ring asked them as they walked down a sidewalk.
"No, I'm going to find a gang to rob." Rin replied, "And a gun."
*This is hopeless. Can we go home?* Lui signed to his sister. Ring shook her head no at him and rolled her eyes.
"Rin, that's insane." Len told her, stopping her from walking on, "…It's obvious we need to find guns first and then take on a gang." Ring face palmed. Lui rolled his eyes.
"True, true…" Rin then asked, "Where can we find a gun?"
"I don't know!" Ring yelled, "Go-go find someone to help! Bad fallen angels! Bad!"
"Thank-you." Rin smiled, "I know I give bad a good name."
"….Ugh." Ring sighed.
*Now can we give up?* Lui signed to her. Ring smacked his signing hand. *OW! You bitch! The only way they'll go back to heaven is a miracle!*
"I know that…And be nice." Ring sighed at him, "I swear…you three are a handful…"
"Ahhhhhh!" Rin and Len looked on ahead, but a bit too soon because both fell to the ground pinned by a panicked girl. The girl quickly got up, "I-I'm sorry! Eek! They're behind me!"
"COME BACK HERE NANA!" A group of boys yelled, wielding guns and bats. They looked pissed off.
"Hell yes, action!" Rin snickered. She ran past the the girl-Nana they assumed at the time-and kneed one of the boys in a place that truly hurt for a male. The guy dropped his bat, which Rin grabbed, "Oi! Which one of you want to take me on!" She swung the bat hard at the air to show them she wasn't a weakling.
"Like we care bitch!?" Was their response. A bad response mind you.
"Pay attention." Len was behind one of the guys with a gun and knocked him out, grabbing the gun, "Now how about you take us on!" He cocked it.
"…H-hold up…We'll…We'll go!" The other 4 who were uninjured took the two who were and ran off. The girl got up and hugged Rin.
"Than-thank-you!" Nana thanked her upon letting go, "Those guys were after me all because of my sister…I guess they think I can sing like her…ehehehe…"
"…Oh, you're a Vocaloid?" Rin asked, slightly interested.
"Y-yes! Nana Macne!" Nana introduced herself with a little pose, "My older sisters are Miku and Gumi, and they're more famous than me….Same with Sonika"
Nana was a Vocaloid of 17 with long mint green hair in a side ponytail and green eyes. She wore a white blouse with black dots, a black pleated skirt, and white boots. She appeared to be an ordinary girl rather than a Vocaloid.
"They all sound more familiar than you." Len noted, "…Hey, you need some help?"
"Well what do you mean?" Nana asked, "I need help in a lot of things, like self-confidence, beauty, posing, walking in heels…"
"No, like dreams or aspirations!" Rin said, "Not that boring stuff that's easily fixed."
"…Oh well, I want to be famous! Like Miku, or Gumi, or Sonika!" Nana told them, "I'm the youngest…and…I've been overshadowed by everyone for years and now I want to show them what I got!" She looked determined, until she said the next bit, "But no label wants me and I'm basically living off of my sisters' money….They don't mind but….I feel like a cheapskate…" She sighed, "I don't know if you can help me though…"
"…Hmmm…" Rin and Len turned to each other. Rin then said, "I GUESS we can try to help you." Rin shrugged, "I don't know anything about being famous, but I GUESS we SHOULD help you." She glared at Ring, who looked approving of what she was agreeing to.
"A-are you sure?" Nana was shocked by Rin's proposal.
"Why not?" Len asked, "We're famous ourselves…Len and Rin."
"…Last name? Nana asked, not recognizing the first names automatically. A lot of people here were named Rin and Len or a variation of it.
"Ka-" Rin nudged Len hard in the gut. Len held his stomach from the sharp pain.
"Not important!" Rin quickly said, "So yes or no? We're sure, and we are busy people trying to rule the earth." Ring face palmed again. Lui rolled his eyes.
"Th-thank-you!" Nana quickly bowed, "Ju-just follow me! I'll take you to my house! It's really big and there's a bunch of room! Yo-you don't need to pay any rent or anything unless you want to!" Nana walked a bit of ahead, and quietly said to herself, "This could be my big break!" She squealed with joy and success in her head.
"Why'd you nearly take my guts out?" Len asked Rin as they walked several steps behind her.
"There's already a Rin and Len Kagamine in the world! With appends!" Rin said in an annoyed hushed tone. She felt as if she was talking to a child, "And there can only be technically one! Even I know that!"
"She's right." Ring added, "Freak outs would happen if they found out your true identities." Lui nodded, repeating "Freak outs" in sign language.
"Oh right…I forgot…" Len then muttered, "Good thing she's not well known so she won't recognize us…er…them…"
"We're the same, dammit…" Rin muttered, with irritation and a tinge of sadness, "There just better than us by measures….Especially with those upgrade append things…But one day they'll be replaced like we were and they'll suffer as well." Rin turned to Len with her eyes, "Since the upgrade of them will be better for the people and the songs and also English…Better than us obviously by a milestone."
Nana is the rising star of Vocaloid! Seems fit to put her as a main character in stories to try and boost her popularity as a Garageband/Utau gone Vocaloid. Don't forget too Kokone and Meiko V3 will be out after her! Busy year for the Vocaloid fandom…
And are Rin and Len possibly just sad, bitter Vocaloids and feel replaced? Just maybe. ~Kingdom Mitsumi
