Who: Haruka Tenoh & you!
What: A few days in the life of a chauffeur for hire. Who may get roped into some other activities.
When: Feb 27 - March 3
Where: All over the city
Warnings: Nineties anime.


[ option 1 - evening, musicians only ]

[ Hey, awesome! Your band ordered a limo. Or maybe they didn't and someone at this limousine company just thinks they did. Either way, they've dispatched one to come pick you up, and the chauffeur is both 1) very charming and 2) very handsome. ] Good evening. Where can I take you tonight?

[ No matter what facial expression the clients are wearing, this chauffeur keeps smiling. ]

[ option b - midday, outside of brad's diner ]

Step right up! Come one, come all!

[ Sigh. It would be just Haruka's luck that she'd check up on Minako - not even planning on entering the workplace, just peering in the window - when the place was short on staff. So now Haruka's out on the streets with a bunch of flyers, cheerful as can be...on the surface, anyway. Why is she so good at this. Why. ] Brad's Diner is trying a new dessert menu. A snack on your lunch break, sir? Madam?

[ She smiles at a group of high-school girls, who huddle together to support their sudden collective case of weak knees. ] Surely there's a better place to skip school, kittens.

[ She winks. One of the girls faints. Haruka laughs and turns to the next person she sees - you. ] Excuse me!

[ option c - morning, outside the virgo entertainment resort ]

[ If you're up at the crack of dawn, you may see someone heading for the building. But she's not looking at the door - instead, she seems to be taking stock of the windows and general layout.

She's also keeping to the shadows and looking...up. ]

Hrrrm, not something I'm fond of, but the salad might suffice. [A little disappointed, but not letting it faze him.]

[One of the girls emits a squeak of delight, but the others seem more engrossed in the pale man, whispering among themselves and pointing at him, one even raising a camera to snap shots of them. Then without moving his head much, he glances back over his left shoulder. In a low voice, with a trace of an amused smile, he asks:] Do we have company, and if so, was the squeal for me or for you?

[actsmagnificent]

I wouldn't dream to presume. [ But if they're going to be in the way, she should probably address this.

She tilts her head up and to the side slightly. Never has looking like she knew it all looked so good. ] You're blocking the street, kittens.

[psyvampexperiment]

Nor would I, it would gratify the delightful little fidgets far too much. [Keeping his voice low and his head still, but there might be a hint of exasperated amusement in his tone.]

You have my utmost gratitude, my dear. [The squeaks get more shrill and vocal with delight, and the kids don't seem ready to move, with the way they keep snapping photos and video. - "Is that Sariel?" - "Ooooh! I think it is!" - "Is that his new woman?" - "Hrrrrr! isn't he with TamTam?" - "That's just a rumor: they're only bandmates.' - "You sure?"]

This isn't as easy as it seems... [Said with a tired sigh, his eyelids drooping in equal exhaustion.]

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka snorts. Then, with a barely-perceptible nod to the gentleman, she walks right up to the crowd of girls. ] Did you need something?

[ Move while you can, sir. She's got this. ]

[psyvampexperiment]

[He might give her the tiniest bow of his head, mouthing 'I owe you for this' before he strides away, making a quick getaway by lengthening his steps so that he covers more ground without quickening his pace. The fankids emit collective "Awwww!"s of disappointment.]

"Why'd he go so quick?" - "We just wanted pictures of him." - "Maybe an autograph?" - "Maybe he'll kiss one of us?"

[actsmagnificent]

[ Haruka's mouth pulls back in a quick smile before she returns to being a human shield. Musician friends are useful. ]

[psyvampexperiment]

[Behind her back, the tall man keeps himself slack, trying to keep out of sight, as a man in a dark suit joins him, hurrying him away more quickly.]

[The fankids frown and grumble amongst themselves. "Awww, gee, we just wanted his autograph." - "Who are you? His new girlfriend?" - "Can't we just get an autograph? It'll only take a minute."]
