Open ♔ Now then, promise that you'll always heed me
Who: The staff/cast of Shikyoin Hibiki's movie (This could be YOU!)
When: January 20
Where: The Far Shore, mostly around Apollo's temple
What: Filming has begun on Hibiki's masterwork. Vive la révolution!
[ I. Prihind the Scenes ]
[ If Hibiki has talked to your character about helping out with her movie, a purple envelope with a wax seal arrives at their current residence bright and early on the 20th. Within is a summons, ordering them to report to Apollo's temple for filming. Granted, the front yard has a new pond in it, and in the center there's a small burbling spring that betrays just how...recent...this development is, but the temple itself is fine.
Filming itself will happen all over the Far Shore, wherever there is sufficient room. Hibiki can use her illusions to create a set. This prompt, however, is for handling all the stuff that's real - whether you're helping out with props, trying on your costume, reading over your script, or gaping at the role Hibiki has assigned you, this is the place for everyone to prepare for greatness.
....Hibiki, incidentally, can be found wandering around to supervise. She'll be solicitous to all newcomers, but if she sees you messing up or engaging in Nonsense, you will be yelled at. Crossly. And don't even think about sitting in the giant armchair with DIRECTOR embroidered on the back! ]
[ II. Prights, Camera, Actprion! ]
[ Filming happens here! The general plot of the story is that a samurai has been wrongfully accused of wrongdoing and stripped of his title. Now he works as a vigilante to support his little sister and her sick friend, and every woman he meets falls in love with him. But when he tries to rob the crooked samurai who's taken his place, he discovers that - gasp! - the lover he'd thought was dead is working for the samurai....and doesn't remember him! Can he fight the one he loves, to save the children who are dearest to his heart?!
Things happening in scenes may include:
♔ ninja fights under cover of darkness that turn into lethal dance battles, because musical;
♔ dramatically exaggerated suffering of pure-hearted downtrodden people for Hibiki's character to angst over;
♔ bad people doing Very Bad Things, such as kicking said downtrodden people, or laughing as they take all their money;
♔ scenes in which there are too many animals to move around, because the Far Shore abounds with four-legged actors;
♔ confrontations between the protagonist and the people who care about him, regarding turning thief when Honor is a samurai's lifeblood;
♔ a whole hell of a lot of pining for Hibiki's character on the part of every woman who has ever met him (complete, perhaps, with song-and-dance fantasy numbers as the women daydream);
♔ at least one equivalent of a bar fight, because Hibiki is also into Westerns;
♔ the triumphant recovery of Hibiki's character's lover's memory, and the restoration of Hibiki's character to his former position after the family he'd served learns of his unbroken devotion to those he loves, which betrays his strength of character even as he was nobly willing to sacrifice his honor by thievery;
♔ and everyone breaking into song whenever the hell they feel like it, especially to monologue about the situation they find themselves in, or the feelings they're feeling. If you're a ninja, sing about being stealthy! If you're a noble, sing about your fair and just rule! If you're a woman, sing about Hibiki!
Look, this film has an agenda.
This, at least, is the script. There is nothing stopping everyone from completely ignoring it and doing whatever. Scenes here will frequently but not always feature Hibiki's character; she's available for any and all threads in which she's required, or else characters can mingle amongst themselves. Have a fight scene! Do a comedy routine! This is a movie with something for everyone.
Will you adhere to the script and support the revolution? Or will you see how far you can bend the storyline before the star (who is also the director, and the scriptwriter) breaks character to yell at you? If you annoy her enough, everyone may get to take a break while she stalks off for alone time...... ]

[Is it prihaps prissible that Mirei Miami is feeling a teensy bit bad about wreaking bovine havoc on Hibiki's prifecltly planned priformances? Well, maybe a little. Now she's realized Hibiki doesn't react to them by shouting 'Cut', shooing her away and starting from the top. She's quite certain that the lines comparing love to animal husbandry weren't in the script. There's something about Hibiki's refusal to crack, to keep working on through whatever gets thrown at her, that Mirei can't help but understand completely. That she can't help but admire.
[Yes, she's feeling a little bad. Not so bad she's changed out of her idol form, but a little.]
Well... I can't help you with the eyes, but I know she likes Prench, pri. Do you know any? You could try singing a line or two in Prench, pri!
[There.
[Never say I do nothing for you, Hibiki.]
no subject
.. but then forgets it entirely. Just for a moment. Since she's glancing at the person she asked that question to, but is only now realising just how adorable Mirei is. So for a moment Minako is just shamelessly staring at her without saying a word (totally not creepy), but then it's like sparkles are starting to appear in her eyes.
Is everyone in Hibiki's movie just amazing? That has to be it, right?! ]
You're so cute!
[ Minako, please focus on the topic at hand.. ]
no subject
Ahh, really, pri? Thank you!
[Have a million-watt smile, Minako, while Mirei takes the opportunity to size you up properly - and it's sort of like looking in a mirror, because whatever Mirei's done deliberatepri after a prillion careful calculations, Minako appears (pending any revision following the receipt of a more detailed data set) to be doing entirely naturally. She's looking at the temprite here, and it's instructive: she's so cute it's almost unfair.]
But you know, I could say exactly the same thing about you, pri! Oh - I'm Mirei, by the way. I'm from the same world as Hibiki, pri~!
[And I'm sure I can think of something neutral to say about how I happen to know her.]
no subject
[ Especially when she gets the compliment bounced straight to her. There's nothing better than getting positive attention for Minako, so she smiles widely, just soaking in that compliment for a moment here.
She only snaps out of it when a realisation hits her about what else this girl said-- ]
.. Wait, you're from the same world as Hibiki? You're so lucky! She's amazing! [ Minako seems to be very genuine about this - metaphorical stars in her eyes and all. ] Does that mean you knew her back home too? Are you two friends?
no subject
[I could a tale unfold.
[No, Mirei. No. Not here. She's being nice, and every idol is entitled to their fans. That Hibiki cannot be trusted, when left to herself, not to repeatedly rewrite, warp and outright break the rules of the puniverse to such an extent that the puniverse itself rejects her... is a matter for another day. Probably in about a week, if she can swing it. Maybe more like two with rehearsals.]
Yeah, we're from the same world - I'm a Top Idol just like her, pri! We've performed together in PriPara several times. She certainly knows how to put on a show, pri!
[Prissive-Aggression Levels: CRITICAL.]
no subject
You're a top idol?! No wonder you're so cute! [ Now it all makes sense. How could you reach this level of beauty and charm without being an idol?! Minako looks overjoyed to meet yet another one in this place. ] I want to sign up for your fanclub already..!
[ Two minutes after meeting her. Perhaps a new record. ]
