Succession Concert
With the creepy cave of doom and her run-in with the Illuminati- sorry, her succession ceremony- behind her, Tochi, or rather, Iwata Karen the 4th (… that was still weird) could finally relax, and stop worrying about ‘ritual sacrifices’ and ‘alien gods’ and all the other conspiracy theories her mind had raced through while down underground. Of course, it wasn’t over just yet- she was now a successor (seriously? Tochi had honestly expected Seika or Miyuki to succeed before her, given their declarations of aiming to be the fastest to succeed), annnnd…
She was about to put on her own concert, to announce it to everyone. It was more than a little weird how everyone but her knew about it (she disliked being kept out of the loop), and Tochi wondered just how far in advance it was known that she would be succeeding. Actually, the more she thought about it, the more her thoughts drifted back towards conspiracy theories, and she was right back at square one.
… And you don’t just joke about cults! Tochi thought to herself with an indignant huff, thinking about what Tsubasa-san had told her while handing her off to another staff member. Was Tsubasa-san trying to give her a heart attack or something?
As she finished getting ready, she wondered how everyone would react to the news.
(ooc: setlist is here! although it was supposed to happen over the weekend ICly, I’m such a slowpoke and kept last-minute changing stuff either because I forgot someone or wanted to add another song (like how Karen recently got to sing Mushi no Ballad), etc…
edit: … Also not everyone I tagged is showing up when searching their tag)
Miyuki burst into the room in her usual manner - suddenly and with no regard for human safety. “Yo, Tochi! I heard you were gonna succeed!” She said excitedly, eyes sparkling. “I thought for sure that I was gonna be the first in our group to!” She laughed, apparently thinking nothing more of it. It was just her usual, baseless confidence, a trait that she had inherited from watching wayyyy too much of the original Mariko in old reruns of AKBingo! “But doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter! What’s important is that you’re succeeding!”
She jumped up and down around the room like an excitable bunny, never staying still for even a second…Even though that was how she usually was anyway, it seemed she was in even higher spirits today than usual, and that was saying something. “So who are you gonna succeed? Oh wait, that’s a secret till the end of the concert, isn’t it! Isn’t this exciting? I can’t wait! Now I’ll know what to expect when I succeed!” She suddenly fell down on the bed, face contorted in fake pain, raising a hand to her forehead and then quickly lifting it away as though it was burning hot to touch. She sat up again and poked her tongue out at Tochi. “Well somehow, we kinda knew you’d be the first to succeed, y'know? Even in the back of our minds. After all, you’re the only one with a kirara!”
