☆TRACK IIX: BETTER TO PRETEND PT. 1

Who: Famous musicians, hopeful auditioners, and random onlookers.
What: Hit gameshow series “Fairy Trial” is celebrating one of its anniversaries, and it’s invited you onboard. For more deets, check out the OOC post!
When: March 11th.
Where: Sevetop Entertainment’s studio.
Warnings: Mingle log mystery bag.

“It's so much better to pretend
There's something waiting for you here.
Every letter that you wrote
Has found its way to me, my dear.”

☆BETTER TO PRETEND



For musicians in either Pride or Virgo, the job offer is delivered by their managers- a suggestion to accept an invitation from Sevetop to participate in a successful gameshow. (A message that is delivered perhaps a bit more pressingly to some, with the unsaid words of “This is a chance to make it up to us”.) For others, strangers just trying to make a living and wait for their chance to save their loved ones, the message is delivered over their communicators by Gold, with promises that infiltrating this event will aid you in liberating the captives from their label's control. Either way, all roads lead to Sevetop Entertainment.

Sevetop might not have the weight that musical giants Pride Labels and Virgo Entertainment do, but that’s because it’s not into the musical industry. Sevetop is all about television and the big screen. For these purposes, it has its own little area of the city, a bustling kind of Hollywood filled with the more office-like buildings, auditoriums for additions, and even various sets. Whether you’re driven in style via limo, or brought to a regular line of buses, this is where you end up at.

Musicians, of course, end up at the more posh meeting room. A spread of delicate little lunch sandwiches, veggie platters, cupcakes, and assorted beverages are on a table for anyone to snatch up, and regularly refilled. Every celebrity is handed a small folder with papers inside going over both the boring legal things and explaining the purpose of the show. “Royals” are the ones to be “saved”, but they don’t have to make the journey easier on their “Heroes” and are given tools at their disposal to help or hinder. Heroes have one goal to accomplish, ‘rescuing’ their Royal, but it changes depending on the challenge.

Much to your surprise, some of those aspiring Heroes might just look familiar. Don't tell!

☆THE HEROES
In another building, next door, various people picked off the street (some coincidentally, others not so much, thanks to Gold's glamour witchcraft) are being given very much the same kind of presentation… In a room much more cramped, with not nearly enough chairs, on a slideshow. The only refreshments available are small bags of chips (try not to take more than one) and coolers full of bottled water.

After the separate presentations are done with, everyone is allowed to check out the sets for past seasons, which includes what look like giant mushroom tops that are made of very bouncy rubber, climbing walls made of fake vines, pumpkin shaped carriages (horses not included), and other such things.

Of course, it’s not all play. While you’re messing about, you’ve all been given numbers. Once you’ve been called, you’re to stand in front of Fairy Trial’s hosts and commentators: siblings Bella and Maurice Hooks. Both of them are equally friendly, although her more outgoing to his easygoing, but they have plenty of questions for this little audition. Tell them about yourself: hobbies, job, your favorite fairy tale, what you think your best skill is - and then, the most important, you get to display a choice "talent" in front of the audience. It can be whatever you like, as long as it's crowd appropriate.

Be careful, though, because the rock stars you're hoping to work with are watching, too. At the very least, don't make an ass out of yourself. Gold's enchantments are good, but there are some things that even magic can't charm its way through.

After all this, you’ll get a chance to just rest and mingle while your rides come back to take you back to the mall or HQ you were picked up at. Obviously for certain famous names, they’ll probably be the first ones out, but who knows… Maybe there was a traffic delay, and now you have some time to spare waiting around here as well. Just take note that you’re not allowed to wander too far from the Fairy Trial sets. Security is keeping an eye on folks to make sure they don’t steal or wreck anything.

And don’t worry, you’ll be told about the results within a week! They promise.

“You can make believe that what you say
Is what I want to hear.
I'll keep dancing through this
Beautiful delusional career.”

By utterly humiliating the hero?

[Oikawa had already read all the small print, and found himself alright with it. He's on his crutches, not looking forward to try to find something to wear over the large cast on his leg]

We're just decoration here.
sharktrash: (grin // come at me bro)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-03-09 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I thought, but it's not in the instructions. Or maybe they're not telling us that "helping" fucks us up on purpose --

[ Well. Here's someone he hasn't seen in a while. He might lowkey wince at that cast -- he's heard what happened, okay, even if they haven't really talked since -- then scowl. ]

[ And then grin a shit-eating grin because guess who's friendly and supportive. (Then again, this just might actually be his version of being civil. He's not bringing up the cast or the ugly crying he probably has witnessed (yet).) ]


I can't imagine anyone would want to use your ugly mug for decoration.

[ And here we go. ]
worthlesspride: (flirty flirt)

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-03-10 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Rude, Squalo!

[He flips Squalo the bird]

You're just a small and jealous person, envious of my beauty.

Anyways, it's a reality show. Just make it funny and you'll be fine.

Well, your humor might put off some.
sharktrash: (smirk // varia quality)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-03-11 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's me.

[ He'll get two back. ]

Vooooiii, who the fuck are you calling small? [ Tbf he's... a little shorter according to wiki, but obviously he more than makes up for it with ego. ]

[ ...then again, this banter is definitely an improvement over the sulking. He'll make his appreciation known by baring his teeth in a vicious smirk. Or maybe it's meant to be threatening, who knows. ]


I don't settle for 'fine'.
worthlesspride: (devious devil)

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-03-14 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I meant your personality; only small minded and insecure people insult people like me. Those of us who are beautiful and intelligent.

[He flashed Squalo a smile, all friendly and charming at the other man's smirk]

Oh, I'm sure you'll try. Whether or not you succeed will be something else entirely.
sharktrash: (grin // just die already)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-03-15 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
More like delusional and wishful.

[ Which is infuriating as always. ]

Heeey, don't think I won't hit you just because you're a cripple.

[ There we go. Also l...ook at who's talking. ]
worthlesspride: (flirty flirt)

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-03-16 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Excuse you, I'll have you know that I was the most popular guy in my graduating class! Girls and boys would often give me candies and cakes in the hope of winning my affection.

[But of course. Did Squalo expect anything else?

Tooru does raise an eyebrow at that. Really? You're in the same boat, oh, wait. Tooru will eventually have the cast off]


Well, if it's you, I guess it's okay.
sharktrash: (smirk // varia quality)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-03-17 11:07 am (UTC)(link)
What was it again? A special school for kids with no standards?

[ BUT WILL TAKING OFF THE CAST MAKE IT BETTER? Anyway, Squalo hadn't really showed or bragged about his hand to anyone beside like... three people, and he's managed to start playing without breaking everything upon first touch again. He's sold it as an injury story to the media and anyone else who asked. So the truth shouldn't be known. Then again, a keen eye might have noticed how unnaturally still his left hand seems to be when he's not using it. ]

Aw, that's cute. You're still hitting on me.
worthlesspride: (flirty flirt)

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-03-20 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Aobajōsai High.

[a beat.]

I mean Blue Leaf Music Academy. [Though Aoba does mean Blue Leaf...]

[No it won't! Shut up! What do you know?

Tooru has noticed how still it is, he noticed it the last time they talked, he's not going to bring it up unless Squalo really pisses him off.]


You told me to impress you. I'm just warming up.
sharktrash: (diplomatic // no srsly keep your trash)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-03-21 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Japan, huh.

[ ...he's not sure why he makes that conclusion. He doesn't remember learning the language or even knowing what words are supposed to sound "like" it. ]

[ Good boy. ]


Shit, I hope not. 'Cause you're hardly being impressive so far.

[ Or, you know, Squalo, you could actually tell him what you like in people but why make it easy. ]
worthlesspride: (flirty flirt)

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-03-27 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Japan.

[He smiles softly, walks up, as if he's going to look over the paper Squalo's looking at, and then gently brushes his lips against the other man's cheek before leaning back out of Squalo's reach.]

I'm getting over being depressed, jerk. I experienced a trauma.
sharktrash: (grin // tattoo it on your eyeballs)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-03-27 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's almost cute, except yeah, he's a jerk. He does turn his head to grin up at the teen, though. ]

What, you want me to coddle you?
worthlesspride: (laughter)

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-03-30 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck no. Just a little patience.
sharktrash: (blank // i don't give a fuck)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-04-02 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Good, because I don't do that shit. Waiting until you're fucking legal?
worthlesspride: (devious devil)

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-04-05 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm already legal Squalo! In fact, I turn nineteen this summer. So no need to feel guilty about all those dirty fantasies you have me.

I'll be back in full force once I have this cast off.
sharktrash: (why you little // teeth)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-04-05 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He bares his teeth a bit, but it's probably not as hostile as it could be. Good job. ]

Isn't that a relief. Wouldn't have guessed with that baby face of yours.
worthlesspride: (laughter)

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-04-11 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Tooru just takes that as flirting anyways. Remember, he's a masochist]

You mean my gorgeous face.

Just wait to see me with my clothes off. I was an athlete in high school.
sharktrash: (diplomatic // no srsly keep your trash)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-04-11 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh yeah. He wins when his feelings get hurt. ]

[ ...okay, so he might be set on rebutting this asshole on principle but he does perk up a little at that. Look, he's just a guy, he's weak to nicely shaped abs or tits or butts. What if this asshole actually looks hot. ]


Oh? That'll raise the bar of my expectations, you know. You'd better deliver.
worthlesspride: (I am pretty awesome)

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-04-11 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well.. he's not expecting that. But he's stubborn.]

I guess I can give a preview.

[And he lifts up his shirt to show his abs. He plays up how pretty he is most of the time, pretty boys sell better depending on the genre, and in classical/goth it's 50/50 but the style of the band runs pretty. Underneath the pretty though, is an athlete who is proud of how much effort he put into his sport. Granted, when it came to weight training Oikawa did what he needed to stay in shape, he wasn't interested in becoming a hulk like Iwa-chan, but he poured himself in every aspect of training. And the results were nice, if he said so himself, giving him a nice sculpted body.]

Here you go, Squalo~
sharktrash: (diplomatic // no srsly keep your trash)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-04-13 12:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Alright then. Squalo watches him with a vague smirk, as if he's critiquing a work of art or something, and reaches out to brush a finger over those abs so graciously presented to him. ]

Not bad. [ He leans back again and folds his arms. ] I'll give you an 8.
worthlesspride: (Judging you something awful)

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-04-13 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
An eight?

[He looks so indignant. Vain pretty boy is vain as hell after all]

Well, I guess I've lost some muscle mass not being able to exercise as regularly. But still, I at least rate a nine!
sharktrash: (grin // tattoo it on your eyeballs)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-04-14 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And Squalo grins like a motherfucking shark because that hit the target. ]

Vooi, I'm the judge here. And I'm saying "not bad, but do better".

[ Says the guy who's not doing any effort himself. ]
worthlesspride: (oh that's interesting)

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-04-19 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Pokes him the cheek, because he's smart like that]

Just wait until I'm back to doing fifty sit ups a day.
sharktrash: (smirk // varia quality)

wrap or?

[personal profile] sharktrash 2016-04-19 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ smartass ]

Don't take too long.
worthlesspride: (nothing escapes my eyes)

good place for it.

[personal profile] worthlesspride 2016-04-20 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Both a smartass and dumbass, Oikawa is an Oxymoron.]

Jerk.

[He stands]

I should go get ready. Have fun Squalo~
