Sooooooooo. [See that grin, Johto? Obviously, someone--namely Merlin--is up to something.] Ahem.

You know, we moved into this house about a month ago, but the walls are still sort of...empty. I thought you guys might appreciate it if I did some decorating.

[And now the video shows what is apparently the inside of the Breeding Centre...except the

[ Rise might have been concerned about walking into a place lined with Yosuke's drooling face - if that appeals to her leader, well then, have at, Souji - but she's still grinning when she walks in, and the grin softens when she notices the rest of it. ]

Since when did you become a photographer?

[tiercelet]

[Don't worry, he's saved a few copies in case Souji actually wants them. As for her question...well, it's Rise. She's one of the few Merlin doesn't bother hiding around anymore.]

Since Arthur left the second time. I thought...you know. [His gaze drops to the floor and he shrugs.]

[restardom]

... It's a good idea. [ and she understands, really. ] You got some good ones of me, right?

[tiercelet]

It's a good way to remember everyone. I wish I had thought of it...earlier...[He straightens abruptly, obviously trying to shrug off the heavy thoughts.]

Pretty as you are, Rise, I don't think you have anything to worry about. [Nudge.]

[restardom]

An idol's always gotta worry about getting her good side on camera. [ and she nudges back-- no fretting, Merlin. ]

[tiercelet]

[He gives her a slow, fond smile.] Like I said...no worries on your end.

[Speaking of which...] You know, maybe you should be an idol in Johto. You quit back in your world because you wanted to be yourself, but...all the trainers here already like you for you.

[restardom]

... [ a pause for a quick blink. ]

Well, I'm going back to it, anyway... but I've never tried finding an agency here.

[tiercelet]

I don't think you'll need a manager here. Why not...decide your own events? Singing, being an idol...all of that should be about you, not about pleasing other people.

They should be happy enough just listening to you.

[restardom]

Oh, do I have a fan here?

[tiercelet]

I don't know. What does someone have to do to become a fan?

[restardom]

You'd cheer for me, right?

[tiercelet]

[Straightens, nodding earnestly.] With all of my heart.

[restardom]

Then you're a fan!

[tiercelet]

I guess I am, aren't I? I'm sort of new to this [Because he totally didn't cheer Arthur on at tournaments, of course not.] so you should explain what else I'm supposed to do as your fan.

[restardom]

Don't buy any other idol's photo albums, for starters.

[ hnngh Teddie. ]

[tiercelet]

I wouldn't! [Hello, knee-jerk reaction. And then a pause.] Are there other idols in Johto? I mean, the Kimono girls perform, but I don't think they count...
