I loved the reviews!
I did find it weird that a lot of you liked how Len was okay with dying o_O
Get ready to meet some new vocaloids! (well, okay, not new, but you get the picture)
Having finally agreed to publicize one of their songs (in this case two), Rin and I alternated between whistling and singing our parts to each other while we got ready to head out to the studio, straightening each others' bows and ties and such.
Camille showed up, exactly on time as usual, clad in a suit of orange that clashed horribly with her hair- I stopped that feminine thought in its tracks and shook my head clear.
"So Camille, what are we doing today really?" Rin asked, tugging the door to our apartment shut and locking it with keys attached to a yellow treble cleft keychain.
Camille, animated as usual, pulls out her famous black, leather notebook and flips pages until she finds what she wants. "No shooting or recording today. Your fellow actors are down at the studio waiting to meet you. They were all driven down yesterday to meet the director and receive the scripts. They won't be singing in the videos, but they will be essential, as you know. You've heard the song probably more than I have."
We nodded in unison, sharing a loaded glance to confirm.
"Well, it looks like our blue prince, red mercenary, and green maiden are here already," our manager commented, nodding towards three identical black, tinted vans that looks as though a tank couldn't leave a scratch in them.
I wondered to myself what they would be like. Would they like us? How much did they know about us? If they knew anything at all, would they be angry? I grasped Rin's hand in mine and shuffled out of the car, making the now-familiar trip through the studio's glass doors, down the hallway to the lounge.
I hardly stepped across the threshold before a flash of red barreled into me. My hand was ripped from my sister's and I fell in a heap on the floor, confused and disoriented. Groaning, I pushed myself up and accepted Rin's helping hand.
"Whoa!" A girl dressed in a revealing red leather… um… top, short ruffled skirt and red leather gloves. Grasped in one of her gloved hands was a bottle of sake that explained the tinge of red across her cheeks. "You're the evil twins, right?" She exclaimed.
"Um… if you mean that you're in our videos, then yeah, I guess so," Rin supplied.
The girl in red slapped my back in a friendly sort of way. Ow. "I'm your mercenary! The name's Sakine Meiko."
"It's nice to meet you, Meiko," I replied awkwardly.
Meiko paused and stared at me.
"What?" I asked, feeling self-conscious.
"You know, you're kind of a shota."
"Um… thanks?"
She made a sound that sounded like "tch". "You don't know what that means, do you?"
I shook my head no.
She continued to stare at me for a couple more seconds before bursting out laughing. Slapping Rin on the back, she exclaimed, "You keep your eye on that jailbait!" The she stumbled out of the room laughing and called over her shoulder, "Can't wait to work with you guys!"
Rin and I glanced at each other.
"What was-"
"I don't know."
We shrugged in unison as a boy boasting a mop of blue hair strode towards us. "Hey," he greeted, "my name's Kaito. Sorry about Meiko. She can be a little… difficult sometimes." He wore a long white sort of… robe. Was that what it was called? Around his neck was a long blue scarf. The devil in me wanted to tug on it like it was a leash. He held out his hand to me and I shook it.
"My name is Len and this is Rin. So you two know each other?"
He grinned. "Of course. Meiko and I are in a lot of these sort of videos together. Usually Miku's singing them though." Kaito hesitated. "Have you met Miku yet?"
"No," I replied.
"We just got here a few minutes ago," Rin explained.
Kaito seemed to relax. "Okay, well when you do, I have to warn you, she can be little… abrasive."
Rin and I frowned at him. "What do you mean?"
He bit his lip uneasily. "Just… just don't expect to be treated… kindly."
"Why? What-" My words were interrupted by the door slamming open.
A girl with two long green-blue ponytails stepped through and walked past us in silence to the coffee and tea preparation table to fix herself a cup of tea. She wore a gray fitted top and a black skirt adorned with a green belt and tie. Her socks and arm warmers were impossibly long and covered her limbs almost completely.
"Hey Miku," Kaito greeted pointedly, raising his to fix herself a cup of tea. She wore a gray fitted top and a black skirt adorned with a green belt and tie. Her socks and arm warmers were impossibly long and covered her limbs almost completely.
"Hey Miku," Kaito greeted pointedly, raising his eyebrows at us.
Without turning, she rose a hand as if to wave then quickly resumed her tea-making task.
"Oh, um, my name is Len and this is my sister Rin," I introduced quickly.
She pivoted, letting her eyes graze over us. I couldn't help but feel the same way I had when Devon was looking for our talent – as if she were inspecting us and her approval would be either the beginning or the end of my practically nonexistent career. "You two are the stars of the videos, right? Rin and Len Kagamine?" Her voice was so sweet. I could see why she was usually the singer in the videos that Kaito had mentioned. A smile lit her face and for a moment, I thought that Kaito had been joking and that Miku wasn't so bad at all. At least, until she said, "I don't know what Ty was thinking when he picked you two up. Doesn't he know that kids don't have the restraint or composure to handle pop star life? Oh, he'll never learn." She picked up her teacup and, without another word, strode out the doors, quietly humming an unfamiliar song to herself.
I hope you liked it!
Sorry Miku fans ^^; Please don't shun me.
Reviews are loved!
