Who:Shikyoin Hibiki & Hiyama Chinatsu
What:A long overdue prize + White Day
When:March 19 coz they pick their own dates.
Where:The near shore

Chinatsu had almost forgotten about the prize from Hibiki’s competition. With everything going on, there just didn’t seem like the right time. The 14th was the intended date, but considering how busy that day was...Forget. That. They weren’t ones to go with the crowd. Despite the somewhat irritated look on her face, arms crossed and foot tapping, Chinatsu did put on a dress for today. A black skater dress paired with a brown suede jacket and ankle boots. She has her her in a loose half braided ponytail. She’s waiting for Hibiki, although that’s not the reason for feeling mood. She just had a lot on her mind.

"Then, let's do this."

With a whisk of her hand, she dismisses the limousine. "In order to prolong the delight of traveling together, we'll abide by your suggestion until it becomes implausible."

There are places one can only reach by air, after all. And, while Hibiki would be able to follow should Chinatsu whip out a hang glider at that point, it hardly seems likely.

But no. This is fine. She has decided upon it! It is her idea now!

Nothing can go wrong.

[redmare]

To think she'd actually agree. The limousine drives away although the helicopter is..kind of still there. But anyway.

"So where did you want to go first? I can pull up how to get there." She's already getting her phone out.

[priforprince]

"You suggested we walk without knowing its duration?!"

Of course she did, Hibiki, you didn't tell her upfront where they were headed. Which meant you agreed while knowing Chinatsu didn't have all the information. But the tsukkomi power is just too strong in this one.

She recovers, however, since this is supposed to be a date. An escort does not retort. Instead, she pulls a business card out of her lapel pocket and hands it to Chinatsu. "The address is here."

It's the. Most expensive restaurant in the city, Chinatsu. Atop a high-rise building, no less. And a place that is known for having an open all-day ballroom.

This is going to be some walk. Not impossible, but....some walk.

SCREAMS i cant believe i lost this orz im sorry

[redmare]

Was she seriously going to yell at her for that? But thankfully, Hibiki continued to go along and handed her the card. Chinatsu does snatch it from her hands a little snappily.

Huh..Chinatsu is pretty sure she's heard of the place. Now the helicopter seemed even more like overkill.

"Alright, we can walk to either the bus or the train station to take us the rest of the way. Which one can you tolerate more?"

np!

[priforprince]

"Rgh...."

The thought of both seems to make Hibiki sick. But...it's for the date. Her day with Chinatsu. This is what she can do that will make Chinatsu happy.

Her head lowers dramatically. And when she raises it, she's swapped her expression out for a desperate attempt to be the Prince again.

"Whichever makes your heart flutter is the next station on the public transit of my heart."

DATE! SHE CAN DO THIS! FOR THE DATE!

[redmare]

Maybe, just maybe it was a little fun seeing Hibiki squirm.

"Train it is." Did she sound a little too excited? It's not like she wanted to see how Hibiki would handle the trains during rush hour.

[priforprince]

"I'll escort you." Hibiki offers Chinatsu her arm, and if it is accepted, they will set off at a leisurely and graceful pace. There's no need to rush. There's no trouble. It's merely a train. Not a problem at all.

Merely a large metal box in which the masses all press against one, heedless of their proper place, with no methods of escape should the surroundings become raucous, or, worse, outright noisy....Merely a method of transportation not in the slightest suited for a top-class celebrity lifestyle....

These sparkles are the sparkles of desperation.

[redmare]

So crowded that the sparkles seem to be bouncing back onto Hibiki as the train shakes and pushes people against each other.

"You okay?" Chinatsu didn't like being packed like a sardine much herself, but it was tolerable. Plus, she got to see Hibiki's reactions.

[priforprince]

A sparkle bounces off Hibiki's forehead and lands on the ground, where it breaks (with a twinkle noise). Her body sways with each convulsion of the train, bumping against Chinatsu, heedless. She doesn't reply.

She may not be able to.

[redmare]

[ Was a quiet Hibiki a good sign? Chinatsu wasn't sure about that. She takes Hibiki's hand and places it on one of the handles. ]

Here, that might help.

[priforprince]

Hhhh.

[ Hibiki’s body slumps against Chinatsu’s with the next bend of the tracks. She’s holding onto the strap as if on autopilot, but her expression is vacant.

This is an intolerable place to be. So Hibiki has checked out. ]

[redmare]

[ Amusing as this all was, it wasn't going to be as fun if Hibiki passed out before they got there. ]

Sooo, hey, what do you think of them?

[ She points at a conveniently placed idol poster on the train. ]

You listen to their work?

[priforprince]

Mm?

[ Oh....idols.

Idols.

IDOLS.

Hibiki blinks, and while she may have not fully returned, she is at least on this planet if not in this prefecture. ] Their footwork is exceptional, but their songs uninspiring. Any glimmers of radiance become subsumed by...

[ how long are you willing to listen to Hibiki’s Entertainment Opinions, chinatsu

she is constructed of almost nothing but ]

[redmare]

[ Worry not, Chinatsu has learned how to filter it out but still looking like she's listening. And before they know it--]

Oh, here's our stop.

[ She takes Hibiki's wrist as they go with the wave of the crowd out of the train. Ah..fresh air again.

Chinatsu pulls out her phone, then up at the signs hanging above. ]

This way!

[priforprince]

Phew....

[ Hibiki pauses for a moment, hands on her knees, to suck in air that isn’t crammed with other people’s mediocrity.

Thus rejuvenated, she straightens up and sparkles. ] But of course. Do allow me to escort you.
