[It takes a minute for him to respond, but what Izumi doesn't know is that Sougo is positively dying on his side of the screen. Even though his picture is attached, thank goodness that this is only through text...]
I'm terribly sorry to have sent you something uncalled for out of nowhere.
[Too formal? Probably.]
I'd intended to send that to someone else, but it makes more sense in context...
I checked the recipient to avoid this happening, and yet... I'm sincerely sorry for the trouble. I'll be more careful in the future.
Someone else had mistakenly sent me a message on the subject, and in my nervousness, I hastily responded without thinking of the consequences. It seems like none of our messages are routing correctly.
If it isn't too much to ask of a stranger, would you mind keeping this to yourself?
Who would I even tell this to anyway? This city's priorities are fucked-up beyond belief that no one would bat an eye at this tame opinion of yours at all.
But if you're that paranoid, I guess I could promise not to spill this to anyone.
[ is he really calling him vanilla though? yes. yes, he is. ]
I mean honestly I'd react the same as you if the roles are reversed here. I don't really like sharing this shit to just about anyone, even though this place would find a way to air your turn-ons to everyone in the most uncomfortable way you could think of, much like what's happening right now.
But I guess you could say that I've gotten used to it. Which is pretty bad, considering how my career requires me to uphold the purity code at all costs.
Yumenosaki... Then you must know Sakasaki-san, Yuuki-san, or Nito-san.
I don't know any of them terribly well, but some of the basics of your academy were explained to me, and I was also told that there were several other idols from Yumenosaki here.
I'm actually an idol as well, so I understand your desire to keep up your image even in a place like this.
Another idol... Well, at least there's finally competition around these parts. Yumenosaki idols often flood the entertainment market, so it can get boring at times.
But yeah, Yuu-kun and Nazunyan are part of the tennis club I'm in. Sakasaki however... He just went up and disappeared without a trace. Idk why at all, but I'm trying to look more into that even though I normally don't care about the guy.
It's not just me; another member of my unit and my senior idols are here as well. Your world and mine seem to be different, since I've never heard of Yumenosaki and I'm sure you aren't familiar with IDOLiSH7 or TRIGGER, but I'm glad to meet another idol. If you have any of your music with you, I'd love to hear it sometime.
Nito-kun mentioned the tennis club to me. It must be challenging to be an idol and engage in club activities at once.
But... I noticed that too. About Sakasaki-san. I still don't understand how people are chosen to leave or come here to begin with...
I do have them with me, but they're kind of personal. [ he's talking about his treasured ipod btw, which is tucked away somewhere in hos room. ] I could introduce you to our unit leader, since he's in charge of writing our songs. We're Knights, by the way, and I'm actually appalled that we're not heard of in some alternate idol world, but whatever.
And well, joining a club isn't really required, I only did it for someone. And sometimes that's the inspiration you need to keep going ♪
For more serious matters, Sakasaki's situation isn't an isolated case, it seems. I'm still looking into it, though. [ or maybe he should put madara to work on this one, he's always been better at gathering info. ]
Don't worry, I understand. I'm sorry for asking so suddenly. I may not be familiar with Knights, but it's a very regal unit name. If you're sure that your leader wouldn't mind, I'd be very interested in talking to him...
[He's a little too nervous to admit to a stranger that he's been trying to enter the world of songwriting, but if it's someone else who writes songs for their idol unit...]
I see... I know that people are able to leave somehow, but there doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, so I've only been able to go off of what other people have said. There's no telling what it means.
Don't worry, our King likes meeting new people. Maybe a little too much... But yes, our unit takes its regal theme seriously; it's one of the few veteran units in the school, after all.
[ It's Complicated. ]
I've been getting info here and there too, but someone has yet to put the dots together. LIEs has been keeping shit under tight lock and key so we just don't know where else to get more details unless you really want to get down and dirty with it. And I'm already busy with a lot shit, so.
In that case, I'm looking forward to meeting him. If he has the time, I'd love to ask him about his songwriting process and inspirations.
Fufu. I may technically be your senior, but if you're a veteran unit, then there's a good chance that you've been an idol for longer than I have. I'm looking forward to learning from you.
I'm worried that we may end up in trouble if we go out of our way to dig up information that's purposely being kept private, but hopefully, we'll be able to make some sense of this before long. For now, focusing on day to day life is the best we can do.
[ well, you're never too old to become an idol. though izumi wonders why someone would want to enter the industry this late. ]
Our King's name is Leo Tsukinaga, by the way. And likewise, Ousaka-san. Nothing like a little competition between units to keep ourselves and our audience entertained even while we're here, hm? Assuming that you're not just a solo unit yourself.
Yes, but not by much. I'm 21. If you're in high school, then you must be around the same age as the youngest members of my unit.
I'm glad to hear it, Sena-san. My unit is called IDOLiSH7, and as the name implies, I'm one of the seven members. I'm not used to performing on my own, but one of my unitmates just arrived here, so I may be able to convince him to join in. The three members of our rival unit TRIGGER just arrived as well, but asking them to perform together with me would be...
[Rude? Probably not, since they're so friendly with each other, but Sougo would still feel like he was committing a heinous crime.]
I mean most of us come from different units in our school as well. I'm part of Knights which has 5 members (3 of us are currently) here, and there are others from Akatsuki, Ra*bits, UNDEAD... most of us here are third-year students, though.
Like, what's so special about that other group that makes you so cowardly about asking them for such a simple request? In the end, us idols are still victims of this fucked-up system. We're neither above nor below anybody.
I see. Even though you're from different units, do you and your classmates get along well? I can only speak for myself, but it's nice to know that you aren't alone, even if the situation isn't ideal.
Ah, that's... You're right, and I know that they would say the same thing, but I look up to them so much that I still get nervous talking to them. We're on friendly terms and have worked together many times in the past, but I can't help feeling slightly anxious that they're here.
[ he'd still want to punch eichi's face in even though they've fucked a couple of times... that's madara's job now. ]
I think you should also be anxious with the fact that you'd have to nail them at some point just to fulfill the quota. My classmates are a bunch of horny enablers but they really came through for me... It was soooo~o annoying, so to speak.
But hey, at least if you have to trust someone into indulging you with your thing for restraints, it'd have to be them, right? [ gotcha. ]
