Amduscias: You guys!
MC: Whatcha looking at? / Wasn't he...? / (greet)
---
(A) Amduscias: UHHHH NOTHING
Leanan Sidhe: You know my classmate?
(BC) Leanan: Oh I know him! I'll introduce you guys.
---
Leanan: He's a demon that can make unearthly sounds. He also...actually, never mind. But he's a great songwriter!
Amduscias: Hey, you're a great producer too.
Leanan sees the music video and changes the subject.
Leanan: Oh, Apollo. He's so popular, Amduscias keeps picking up his new albums even though he says he isn't into him.
Amduscias: Uhhh, yeah.
Leanan: He's a top idol alongside Gabriel. Pretty much everyone stans them.
Amduscias: Huh. I TOTALLY DON'T know much about idol music, but that's important info I guess.
Amduscias relaxes thinking he hasn't been found out.
Solomon: Hmmmm, sus. But maybe we don't need to poke at him?
MC: You hate idols? / What's so different about pop idol music? / YOU LIKE IDOLS?
(A) Amduscias: Not...really? Just good reference for writing. Stop looking at me like that.
(B) Amduscias: Idol music is so much deeper! So many factors to think about making a smash banger! Uhhhh, that's what school says at least!
(C) Amduscias: What, you don't believe me? I just listen to what's popular for studying.
Amduscias is distracted, wondering what passing randos are looking at even if it isn't supposed to be him.
MC: So...wanna be an idol? We need help.
Amduscias: WHAT
Amduscias looks excited. MC and Leanan Sidhe notice.
Amduscias: ...there's no way I can be one.
Amduscias shoves his hopes and dreams back into the closet.
Amduscias: I just said I don't care about idols! I'm better as a songwriter than a performer! Leanan just said Apollo and Gabriel are the top idols right now, so even if I became a temp idol I can't get any fans to come, so why bother? Why would you even want a big lunk like me!?
MC: Joke's on you, I'm into that shit! / Why not make a new kind of idol? / hmmmm, you sure know a lot about idols
(A) Amduscias: You trying to make me a dancing bear or something!?
(B) Amduscias: Sounds nice, but it ain't realistic. I don't wanna be a joke!
(C) Amduscias: UHHHH NO I DON'T
Leanan Sidhe: (stares)
Amduscias doesn't seem into this. He's into idols, yeah, but he worries too much about if people would like him to try. Leanan sees through him.
Leanan: Sorry Amduscias, we didn't want to push you. MC believes in you, but you have a musicality no one else has. I can see it.
Amduscias hesitates.
Leanan: I won't judge MC's choices, but you know how good a producer I am, right?
Amduscias: Yeah, the whole school knows.
Leanan: I believe in what I saw in MC. What about you?
Amduscias has no response.
MC: I think you can make it and not be some gimmick, but I have no proof.
Amduscias: ...geez. Fine, I'm doing this for you Leanan Sidhe. Not because I want to.
Leanan: Hehe, I know how it is. Thanks for hearing MC out!
MC and Leanan promise to call with details later and leave.
Amduscias: (frown)
Amduscias has mixed feelings about going for his dream and his feelings on the impossibility of it.
Amduscias: Can I really make it?
Amduscias's legs shake.
Amduscias: Does MC really believe in me?
Later, at Shinjuku Station
Leanan: Thanks MC! I think this group of four will work! I think you convinced them, so cheer them on! Training comes after this!
MC: Yeah! / so it begins / welp, it's all them now
---
(A) Leanan: Good energy!
(B) Leanan: Yeah, everyone's going to grow.
(C) Leanan: Hmm, really? How they turn out depends on your direction.
---
Leanan: School's set up the dates, place, and mentor. We'll start after we get ready and let everyone know. Good work today, MC!
Leanan leaves, and MC heads home.
Back at the dorm
Mononobe: Did you say you'll be out a while for idol training?
Giving the parental unit stand in notice of the event plot!
Mononobe: Oh, you'll be a producer? Weird. And a form from Nakano Performing Arts? Around this time, the admins always--never mind. They did call earlier. Anyways, go on, don't worry about school stuff.
Solomon: Yay, good for you Master! Thank you!
Mononobe: Good luck, this is all I can do for you.
And on the day of idol training camp...
Party: WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S IN ANOTHER WORLD???
