Who: Barry Goodman, Maria Cadenzavna Eve, Yuuri Katsuki, Elise, You Watanabe, Demyx
What: Sparkle Motion meet and greet
When: Backdated to July 11th
Where: Sparkle Motion dance studio, Near Shore

[They've got the approval from Suijin for the Obon show and two new members, so Barry's decided it's high time to get everyone together at the studio. It's a good chance to introduce the newbies, and an even better chance for an idea session and group rehearsal. So after he makes sure Demyx and You know where they're going, Barry heads off to the studio bright and early so he can meet everybody.]

Awright, everybody! We got the approval for the big Obon show, and two new members! This is You Watanabe and Demyx. You wants to be an idol, so I'm gonna have her work with Maria on singin' and dancin'. And Demyx here is already a pretty great guitarist, so I figure he can help us write some songs. We got a lotta work to do gettin' ready for the show, so I thought we could all throw our best ideas against the wall today and see what sticks. And of course, I'm gonna put ya all through your paces with the usual exercise routine, too. We had some good time off for the festival, but today it's back to work!

[You feels her heart fluttering at her introduction. There was her nerves. Of course she had told Luna all about where she was going and when she might be back, and hopefully she would have all sorts of fun things to tell her god.

But first she has to make a good impression. So she's humming a song she heard on the radio and making up her own moves to it till Maria was able to get to her. She's sticking to the beat very well, and there's a big smile on her face. Just what an idol needs, right?

Otherwise, she is watching the others do their own thing, taking a break from her own practice. You feels inspired to work as hard as she can now, and hopes that any shows they have in the future will be a success.]

[Barry shows up at some point while she's taking a break, coming around to check on her.]

Well? How do ya like the place?

I like it a lot!

[She's very happy to have taken you up on your offer, Barry. Can't you tell with how much she's gotten into it?]

Heheh, thanks! It's just small now, but that's kinda nice, don't ya think? If we're gonna be working' together, it's good to have a place where everyone can practice together.

[He grins, folding his arms.]

It's not gonna be easy, though! The path of the idol is long and hard! You up for the challenge?

It's bigger than I thought it'd be! I didn't know how many other people would be here with us.

[She nods with determination.]

Yes! I am!

Takes a lot of stars to light up the heavens!

[Barry laughs, clearly in a good mood.]

Good! I like that enthusiasm! Let's start with some ab crunches, then!

[That sounds pretty cool and corny at the same time to You.]

I know how to do those! I make sure to train every morning.

[She's... not sure why she started it. It just seemed like the right thing to do.]

[Cool and corny is Barry's aesthetic.]

You're halfway there already, then! Idols gotta have good form and stamina, y'know! So let's see yours!

[Okay! She can do this! You gets down on the ground and decides to... go for 100. It takes a few minutes, but afterwards, she gets up, still energetic.]

What next?

Wow, you weren't kiddin'! You're not even winded!

[You is moving up in the idol rankings already.]

Okay, time to get the blood pumpin' a little bit, then! Jumping jacks! Do as many as ya can in five minutes!

[Barry takes out a stopwatch, clicking it.]

Go!

[She beams at that compliment. You takes pride in her physical endurance.

Nodding, she starts up on jumping jacks... but loses count after about 75. But she keeps going. This will leave her a little more worn down in the end than the crunches, yet it's nothing she can't recover from easily.

LET HER KNOW WHEN FIVE MINUTES IS UP]

Aaaaaaaand that's five!

[Barry walks over to give You an encouraging pat on the shoulder.]

Good job. I'd say you've definitely earned a break. Hell, I could probably put you in charge of the trainin'!

[A break sounded wonderful right now. You feels she should start working more on her cardio while training. Maybe running will do?]

T-Thank you! [She straightens up with a nervous laugh.] I don't know if I'd be any good at it.

Heheh, it's okay! If I put you in charge of it, I'd be out of a job!

[Barry lets out another happy laugh.]

Seriously, though, you're doin' great. Keep it up.
