Good evening, Johto! How is everyone tonight

The first?

And ... spending time with the people I care about. And as strange as this may sound ... snow.

Well... you've already received plenty of that second one, with no doubt even more on the way! ... though I'm sure that could be said about the first as well.

Yes, it was such a pleasure to see so much snow! Growing up at the PLANTs --- we really didn't have them. But it was a beautiful day every day.

Mnm ... unfortunately, we are returning to Violet very soon. So I may not be able to see you all in a while. Has ... Yayoi recovered?

Er... Well... I think I can understand why, what with how hard a time it must be to make it snow in space...

--ah? Oh, Yayoi's fine-- She's back to pitch perfect! But, um... What are you heading back to Violet for?

[lc_whitequeen]

Well ... we do have man-made snow. They are used as decorations sometimes.

She is?! That is wonderful ... I am very happy for her! [ Made a mental note to buy something for Yayoi that can help with her voice. ]

For my first badge. And I left some friends when I selfishly decided to come here.

*shaking his head a bit* ... I think understanding that any further is a bit out of my range...

--ah, she's been better for awhile now! I think it just only recovered in full a few days ago though... I'm holding out to hear her sing, really...

I see... Who did you leave behind, exactly...?

To hear her sing again would be lovely ... she must be more than ready to sing. So many days unable to use your voice can make any singer want to sing their heart out.

My friend, Mitsuki and her friends. Do you know her? She is a sweet little girl that wishes to be a singer as well.

Mm... I'm sure she must have belted one out in private once she fully recovered.

Another singer? I really didn't know that was such a popular profession... But um, no... I can't say I know her.

That doesn't count. That is practice.

It is, but not many become popular singers... no matter how talented you are. It will amaze you when you see the lines of girls auditioning for an agency to support them.

I believe if you want to be popular ... you need more than just talent. You need a little bit of luck too.

[combat_butler]

--eh?! H-How does it not count if she belted it out...?

... ... yet another reason I should never be allowed into that industry.

[lc_whitequeen]

To perform. A performance shouldn't count unless in front of a crowd.

Ara? What do you mean? I think you will do incredibly well. You are talented --- and you have more luck than I. [ He is lucky to be able to live through getting hit by a truck. His luck must be abnormally strong. ]

[combat_butler]

But... It's not as if Yayoi or any of her other idol friends perform all that often...

Erm... Talent is one thing-- not that I have any in the areas that a idol would need it-- but luck is flat out ridiculous. I have none whatsoever.

video;

[lc_whitequeen]

They don't? I see ... maybe what they really need is a stage.

[ Becomes very quiet. ]

I am sure Rise and Yayoi would agree with me. They really looked like they enjoyed performing with you.

[combat_butler]

I think they just need expos-- *IMMEDIATELY DARKENING AT HEARING THAT.*

That wasn't a performance!!! In any single sense of the word-!

[lc_whitequeen]

[ She smiles and wisely did not tell him how much she thought it was such a joy to watch. It would very likely upset him. ]

I understand.

[combat_butler]

It was nothing but humiliating and I would rather it be wiped from the minds of Johto entirely-!
