[open] Music, love, and ramen

Who: Sheryl, Barry ([personal profile] very_goodman), and YOU
What: Prayer #15
When: May 3rd, late morning/early afternoon
Where: Outside a ramen shop in the Near Shore
Warnings: this is Sheryl we're talking about

[It all started when Sheryl saw a prayer request right by her temple: to save a store from going out of business after receiving little to no customers in weeks. Either people stop by, or the owner must shut it down. Such is the cutthroat world of business: someone can be on top one day, then get discarded, forgotten about, and replaced by the next. While Sheryl hasn't owned a shop in her life, she knows too well the importance of customers — not just for money, but for bringing a little extra something in the lives of people.

... And that's why she and Barry are right in front of a humble ramen shop, dressed in ridiculous animal outfits. Sheryl being, well, Sheryl, she makes sure to make extra adjustments to her attire, exuding both cuteness and sensuality at the same time because as a performer, she knows too well that sex sells. Meanwhile, Barry can be seen next to her with his guitar, fingers strumming along to create strong riffs.

Buh oh, that's not all; she knows that looks alone can only go so far. A pair of strong, well-trained vocal chords on a professional singer can also do the trick, and she's willing to go the extra mile if that means Miss Sachiko's ramen shop can thrive for at least a few weeks... by improvised choreography. It's hard to tell that her moves are improvised on the spot when her feet glide across the pavement without missing a step as she sings her heart out. Despite the upbeat steps, there's a certain grace to the way she moves her arms and legs, a flair for the dramatics with an extra shimmying of her hips to Barry's guitar sounds.

It's over the top, but like Sheryl says, "go big or go home!"]


(OOC: Both Sheryl and Barry will be responding separately!)

[She was out to pick up something for dinner tonight. But watching Sheryl dancing like that, she gets completely distracted. She doesn't think she'd wear an outfit like that but Sheryl looks good in whatever she puts on.

So when she stops Honoka starts clapping!]


That was amazing!
purehonkproject: (I say)

[personal profile] purehonkproject 2016-10-08 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[She grins at her. It's always so cool to see other people performing, it's one of her favorite things in the world.]

It's good to see you too! How've you been?
purehonkproject: (You can definitely clear)

[personal profile] purehonkproject 2016-10-08 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[She looks over at the ramen shop. It's not either her or Bakugou's favorite food but it's still good...]

An advertising deal? Wow! They definitely got the right person for the job.
purehonkproject: (Can't you?)

[personal profile] purehonkproject 2016-10-08 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Gosh, Sheryl's so pretty in that costume too...]

Definitely! Do you know if they do takeout? Oh, or maybe I can bring Kacchan here for dinner.
purehonkproject: (I say)

[personal profile] purehonkproject 2016-10-08 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Then we'll do that!

[She hums a little bit before answering.]

He's my god. His name's Bakugou Katsuki, but somebody called him Kacchan and I thought that was way cuter. Ah... he's not very cute though. His face is pretty much always angry.

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-10-08 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Whew... yeah, I'm beat!

[Barry takes off the big goofy looking dog head and the paw shaped gloves, setting them on the stool next to him as he takes a seat at the counter with Sheryl.]

I'll massage 'em for ya later if ya want. You really worked it out there.
very_goodman: (yatta)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-10-08 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Heheh... thanks!

[Barry lets out a big belly laugh at Honoka's enthusiasm, practically glowing with pride beneath that stupid dog costume.]

Work hard and you can get gigs like this too someday!

[Not that playing outside a ramen shop is necessarily something to envy.]
purehonkproject: (You can definitely clear)

[personal profile] purehonkproject 2016-10-08 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[She giggles right back! The dog costume is pretty cute, after all!]

I'd like to! I will!

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-10-08 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[If Barry's tail was real, it would be wagging.]

You wanna try it right now?

[He grins a little, strumming at his guitar.]
purehonkproject: (Can't you?)

[personal profile] purehonkproject 2016-10-09 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! Really?! Okay!

Should I try dancing like Sheryl did?
very_goodman: (side glance)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-10-09 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Move whatever way feels the most natural. Not everybody's got the same kinda rhythm.

[Barry starts playing the theme song to one of the magical girl shows he's been watching lately. That sort of thing has a good beat and tempo for idol type performances.]
purehonkproject: (The beat of the beginning)

[personal profile] purehonkproject 2016-10-09 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Okay! You got it.

[It's upbeat and Honoka goes for a more bubbly kind of choreography. Lots of spinning and clapping, her foot work is pretty good considering it's right on the spot and she wasn't the main choreographer for her idol group.]
very_goodman: (yatta)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-10-09 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Awright, try singin' along now!

[He'll sing the bridge for her, and then play it again. The dancing isn't bad, but keeping a tune while exerting yourself can be tough if you're not focused.]
very_goodman: (Default)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-10-09 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
Of course! Gotta take good care of my goddess. 'Specially since you're part of the studio.

[Barry, as always, is pleased as punch to work with Sheryl and utterly unashamed even in the face of her light teasing.]

You got it. I had fun too. Thanks for askin' me.
very_goodman: (thoughtful)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-10-09 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I didn't think it'd be that popular.

[Barry laughs, rubbing at the back of his neck.]

Guess the pressure's really on, huh? I gotta give it my best too.
very_goodman: (Default)

[personal profile] very_goodman 2016-10-09 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I bet they just want a chance to stand on the stage with the Galactic Fairy.

[Barry chuckles, grinning over at her.]

Don't worry, I'm always serious when it comes to performing.
