Chapter 3: Time for Business! Time for Sugar!

"So…who are you two really?"

Nana had brought the two fallen angels to her home: A large 3 story home with 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a basement, an entertainment room, and a pool outside. Even though Rin and Len had an elaborate speech of who they were from-a company who helps struggling idols become badass as Rin put it-Nana was still smart enough to know that wasn't true. They swore too much to be professionals.

"…Shit." Rin mumbled under her breath. Len tugged on his collar.

"…that word and many others got you in this mess…" Ring whispered to Rin. Rin was tempted to smack her in private later.

"Fine, fine." Len sighed, "We are Vocaloids who suck at life and need redemption and a promotion and to do so we need to help you and then everyone will be happy."

*Technically, he's telling the truth* Lui signed to Ring as he did blogging on his phone. Ring rolled her eyes.

"Oh…Well that makes sense!" Nana believed that half-true lie. Rin and Len mentally sighed with relief.

"So, before we do anything formal and business-y…" Rin requested, "We need snacks."

"Yeah. Sugar, fruit, anything yummy." Len added on, "And soda!"

"Okay!" Nana led them into the kitchen. The two fallen angels sat on stools as Nana went into the pantry first for some food.

"Len. We scored big…" Rin smiled at him, a look in her eye. They spoke in hushed tones so Nana couldn't hear them, "She's loaded!"

"Correction, her sisters are." Len corrected her, "But we can be her managers and get a sum, and then be loaded and do what we want…"

"I could own the world…" Rin sighed happily, "And rule it, and do ruler stuff…"

*She has no idea how to rule a world, let alone a country, does she?* Lui signed to Len. Len shook his head. *I can tell*

"And I can buy a cat!" Len fist pumped. Rin, Ring, and Lui looked at him, "…I've always wanted a cat…like a tiger, or a lion, or a leopard, or a saber tooth…"

"Saber tooth cats are extinct…" Ring sighed. Len looked disappointed.

"Dammit no one told me…" Len snapped his fingers, "I thought human scientists could've solved that by now! Shit…Well I can still have a tiger!"

"You have very low aspirations in life." Rin bluntly said, "And that is why you're my sidekick and I'm the leader." At that point, Nana came back with an armful of snacks. She set them on the table and went to the refrigerator next.

"You guys like snacks don't you?" Nana asked them. Rin and Len nodded.

"We need snacks to do work." Rin said, "Only those who gives us snacks will receive our help. It's like our pay."

"Yeah. We like snacks. And alcohol." Len added. Rin nodded.

"I'm not allowed to touch the alcohol…" Nana weakly smiled and set the rest of the snacks on the table, "But I'm sure when Sonika comes home she'll get it down for you."

"Sonika?" Rin recognized the name but had to play stupid naturally, "She your sister?"

"Yeah!" Nana smiled, "She's the oldest out of me, Gumi, and Miku. She's a Vocaloid who sings in English and she's also in the fashion business! A lot of our clothes were designed by her!"

"Interesting…" Len nodded.

When a Vocaloid wasn't popular-as many weren't compared to the household names such as Miku Hatsune-they often took up another career and would become successful that way. For example, Mew was a veterinarian, Rion Tone was a programmer and part time YouTube sensation, and Prima was an opera house singer in Australia.
Popular Vocaloids on the other hand were extremely lucky. They could just do what they do and make money that way, as was the case with several Vocaloids, and do a part-time job if they wanted to. Rin and Len knew, for an example, they're upgraded versions were part-time servers at a maid-butler café.

"What about this Miku and Gumi?" Rin asked. She knew those two names pretty well, considering their originals from the second era of Vocaloids were now Angels of Song, but still played stupid.

"Miku's really, really popular and so is Gumi. Most of the time they're out doing concerts, or something of the sort. Miku also has to support and promote her game series with the others who do it with her." Nana explained, "Her friends are pretty nice! You look like two of them…"

"…Ah, really? Concidental…" Len played it off cool, "Do they ever come over?"

"Occasionally." Nana replied, "Did you want to meet them?"

"Well n-" Len began to say, but Rin interrupted him.

"A course! I'm sure they could help you as well!" Rin said, as she ate an orange. She was dipping a piece in chocolate, "I'm sure they're pretty cool!"

"Rin!" Len whispered to her when Nana had her back turn, "Have you lost it?"

"Revenge is a dish best served in public." Rin whispered back in an innocent tone, biting into her orange. Len sighed and began eating some candy when Nana turned back around.

"Ah~" She heard the front door open, "I wonder who it is!" She ran to get the door.

*Damn, Rin is an insane person…You sure she's mentally stable?* Lui signed to Ring. Ring smacked his hand *OW!*

"Be nice…at least she has a voice." Ring whispered to him. Lui seemed irritated by that comment.

Ring and Lui were what one would presume as "Vocaloids in the state of limbo", a rare state for a Vocaloid to be in. They were angels until the day they could possibly be released, and who knows when that could be. Lui had received the worst end of the stick though as he never got a voice, one of the few Vocaloids with this issue for a voice is what made a Vocaloid. However, no one teased him for it since he was a master prankster despite his feminine appearance.
Ring on the other hand had a voice and honestly a higher chance of becoming a Vocaloid. But, she would never leave behind Lui even if it meant being a Vocaloid. They had a very strong bond, which few Vocaloids could claim they had.

"Ah, Gumi! You're home!" "I got to show you some cool stuff Nana!" The two fallen angels could hear a sisterly conversation of sorts going on in the living room.

"…Why aren't we like that Rin?" Len asked at one point while overhearing the conversation.

"Well…" She had found the wine and uncorked it, "…We aren't related and even if we were, I'd disown you in a heartbeat."

"…Not even going to think hard about that?" Len asked her, "Even if we weren't related?"

"Len, just shut up and keep eating." Rin poured the wine into a glass, "Doesn't matter anyway, right?"

"…Right…"

Not a whole lot in the plot but more insight so that'll work. I'll be doing this and the other at the same time. So, yeah… I'm addicted to Sims3 for PS3…It's really fun and I can do whatever I want with the Sims. I disable aging for a little bit to advance them in their careers quickly. ~Kingdom Mitsumi
