[open] Ain't it great, how we met each other
Who: Rise Kujikawa and YOU! Yes, even you.
When: 6/1
Where: Lots of locations, CYA, etc etc.
What: Rise's getting back out in the colony and dragging people along for the ride with her daily routine.
Rating/Warning: Probably not yet.
[Even if by Cerealia standards it's her birthday, Rise doesn't think anything of it. Things are different here and she has a long day ahead of her. But at least it's nice to be on some kind of schedule again and get back to the way things were.]
A.) Catch a glimpse of the hollow world;
[The morning starts early for Rise Kujikawa with a bright and early call for a photoshoot. She never realized that a "sunglasses model" could be a real job but here she is bright and early when the sun is just perfect to capture the product without the glare effect. Did you happen to stumble onto the scene of this shoot? You might find Rise perusing a table of glasses that she's meant to put on her face and she'll turn with a small grin on her face.]
Which one do you think I should start with first?
[Alternatively, later in the shoot she's put on a pair that's a liiiiittle too dark and it makes it hard to see. Sorry if she happens to bump into you on her way to put them back.]
Sorry! Geez, these are way too effective…
B.) Turning misery into meaningfulness;
[Later in the day she's in front of a storefront in the shopping district with a plate of tofu samples. This feels a little more like home, weirdly enough, and even if she's dressed down in a work smock she seems oddly relaxed. She won't hesitate to stop anybody who wanders by, maybe even tapping the shoulder of the person if it's someone she knows (hell, maybe even the people she doesn't know.)]
Free sample? It's fresh…they're trying a new recipe in there. [She has opinions on said-tofu, but collecting information and backing said-opinions is never a bad thing.]
C.) Gaze in fascination so hard;
[Regardless, even if she has a busy busy day she's going to take time for herself even if it kills her. That's what this is about, isn't it? Relaxing, getting back to a normal life after the trauma that came from that weird, dark area. After her shift at the tofu shop she'll even text a few friends.]
Weather's great! Wanna come up?
[Friends who text back will get an answer, but for anybody who…happens…to be prone to being on rooftops they'll find that Rise's dragged a couple of chairs up to the roof of her apartment building, an umbrella tilted just enough for the slightest amount of shade and sprawled out in one of the lounge chairs dressed in a bikini with yet another pair of sunglasses on.]
It's perfect, isn't it?
D.) You know the stake in high stardom is near;
[And so the sun sets. The day goes on, and there's one more shift to take care of in her day before she's satisfied. Anyone in the Entertainment District may find that several colonists are heading for one particular karaoke bar. Entering the bar, you'll find that Rise is at the mic and it's here she's in her most natural environment as she continues her performance. When she finishes the song and the applause dies, she peers around before her eyes land on you, a playful smirk on her face as she speaks into the mic.]
I think it's your turn to sing a song for us! What do you say?
[Looks like the crowd agrees.]
[Or maybe you find yourself at the bar later and she finishes another song. No matter who it is, she'll slide into the seat next to you and she doesn't even appear winded as she speaks up.]
Who knew aliens liked music so much?
E.) Looking so different glaring street light;
[Or you can wildcard her! She can be found anywhere in the above locations, wandering the colony, or maybe you're a friend who happens to bump into her. Bring it on.]

Really? That's so sweet. [That at least renders a more genuine response.] You're spending time with me now aren't you? That totally counts for something. I've worked on all of my birthdays since I was younger. At least I'm not on a tour this time. This is about as special as it can get. [There's a pause.] If you want to make it up later though I wouldn't say no.
no subject
[Like, going out after work? That kind of thing? He leans over a little closer, just a tad, waiting for what he hopes is confirmation of how he took that.]
I'm pretty sure I could find some way to celebrate with you, yeah. You've gotta take advantage of free time when you've got it! Man, working on your birthday . . . if you ask me, being famous oughta be about doing what you want.
[This is a guy who clearly has absolutely no idea what idol culture in Japan is like. To him, idols are just cute celebrities who get to live his idea of the celebrity life.]
no subject
[She's put Thought into this.] Believe it or not, my free time here is more than the free time I have back home now. When I took a break last year I had way more time to spend with my friends and--["Solve murder mysteries and jump through TVs"]--take care of some other stuff. But now that I'm working on my comeback I need to use all of the time I can to practice and everything. I'm used to being busy and…the competition's tough.
[She could tell him all about the competition and about Kanami and about people watching her every move and reporting it and letters from fans and pressure--but she won't. She's better about being open about it, but Leon doesn't deserve to deal with that.] Even with all of that? It's exactly what I want. I want to do these things! But…sometimes it's a little easier not being famous here.
no subject
[He mutters, and then catches that that might be taken wrong, and amends himself, lifting a hand.]
I mean, not you! I just had no idea it was like that! Back home I was planning on getting into the industry, y'know? Obviously not as an idol, so things probably wouldn't be the same for me anyway. I was gonna start a band! A punk band, so y'know, not a lot of practice involved, ha ha!
[NO LEON YOU'RE SO WRONG ABOUT MUSIC
He very clearly has no idea, chattering on as cheerfully as ever.]
But with a schedule like that . . . you've gotta have time to enjoy yourself, too! So next time you're free, I'm definitely taking you out somewhere you don't have to think about work! I had no idea being an idol was that involved . . .
no subject
[But she doesn't say anything more discouraging than that. If anything, his offer and his earnest response is actually very sweet and it's enough to shut her up.] But I'd like that. It shouldn't be too hard to clear my schedule a little bit during the middle of the week or something. It'll be fun! [And judging by the way she doesn't say anything about how hard it is being an idol sometimes, it's enough to say Leon's correct.]
I need to get ready soon for another shift but I have time just to hang out. Wanna stay up here with me for a little longer?
no subject
[He doesn't do well indoors for too long.
He tips back to look at the sky again, just soaking in the sun and the company.]
So I'll text you sometime and we can set up a distraction of some sort for you? Ha ha!
no subject
[She trusts him not to take offense to that at least. Leon's good that way...and it's for that reason she settles in to relax some more and enjoy the last hour or so she has of her freedom today. What a way to spend the afternoon.]
