[ If you've spoken to Naminé before, you might notice she looks far more at ease now. Being around people who actually like her and mean her no harm has done wonders for her, and there's even a small, content smile there. She's sitting cross-legged on the floor, and in her lap is a Chikorita.

Making sure not to disrupt the sleeping Pokémon, she holds up a (probably familiar) feather. ]

... Is it normal to have things like these floating around? They're beautiful, but... I'm not sure what their use is.

[dangerousidol]

Really? Do you think we can keep them?

[A sudden thought strikes her.]

You're really cute, you know? Like an idol!

[Video]

[shatterings]

I'm not sure. They must serve some purpose... but I'm not sure what.

[ Oh. Yeah, Naminé's cheeks turn a fairly brilliant shade of pink, and she hugs her Chikorita a little closer. At least the little guy can sleep through pretty much everything. (Naminé thinks it's because he's still a baby. Or something.) Why people keep complimenting her appearance is a mystery, and one thing she's still not gotten used to. She doesn't think she ever will. ]

I don't... a-an idol?

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

I'm going to keep mine anyways!

[She nods with a big smile. Untapped talent! She could work with this if the girl would let her.]

Yeah~! Can you dance or sing?

[Video]

[shatterings]

It is very pretty. Li doesn't seem to like it, though...

[ Dancing and singing? Only drawing, Rise. Naminé's never even thought of doing anything like that. ]

I... don't think so.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

Maybe it's from a Pokémon he doesn't like?

[She doesn't look preturbed by this.]

How about when we meet-[not if!] I show you some moves?

[Video]

[shatterings]

Mm. That might be it.

[ She sure is enthusiastic! Naminé doesn't think she'll give up. ]

Um... w-we could do that. [ She can't really say no--she's just so earnest. ]

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

They can be as picky as people sometimes!

[You get a huge genuine smile, not an idol smile, Naminé!]

So what's you name~? If it's super cute, you won't need a moniker!

[Video]

[shatterings]

[ oh god what's happening this is completely new ]

Um... Naminé.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

I love that name! I'll call you Nami-chan! I'm Rise Kujikawa~ My old idol name was Risette, but here I'll just be Rise.

[It's been so long since she's had someone to talk idols with that wasn't a boy. Excuse her enthusiasm.]

[Video]

[shatterings]

[ People are complimenting her a lot. WHAT DO. ]

I... th-thank you, Rise.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

So where are you? I'm heading to Goldenrod to start my job as an idol there, but I'm totally going to keep travelling! We should figure out a place to meet up!

[Video]

[shatterings]

Right now? Um... Blackthorn City. I... I'm not sure when we'll be leaving.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

Aw... I'm going to Azalea right now. That's so far away from you...

[Have a pout.]

[Video]

[shatterings]

[ oh no must fix this ]

W-well... I'm certain we'll be able to meet soon...

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

You said 'we'. Are you traveling with friends right now? Can you ask them to take you to Goldenrod?

[Video]

[shatterings]

Oh, um... If they wouldn't mind...

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

Ask nicely~?

[Video] scuse me crashin in here

[faintwaves]

Goldenrod?

[And so what looks to be a body double of Namine leans over into the screen.]

Oh, Ilya and I talked about doing some traveling so I can get my badges, and Kairi probably wouldn't mind a change of scenery either, we can definitely bring you over to Goldenrod if you want...Nami.

[A twitch of a smile at her lips and she waves.]

Hello, again! I see you've met one of my sisters now!

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

[No wonder Nami-chan looked so familiar! She returns the wave.]

Wow! You two really look alike! It's so cute~!

[Nami-chan should have mentioned sisters... hopefully they won't get jealous of Rise trying to get her to be an idol with her.]

[Video]

[faintwaves]

[Xion wouldn't know what being an idol is about and Kairi can't sing, but that won't stop them from playfully teasing Namine about it.]

Eheh, thanks, but I'd say Namine's the cutest out of all three of us, so you've scouted the right one.

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

You think so? I just have a feeling she'll be amazing~! I just need to meet her and see what talents she has!

[She's super excited, Xion! This might help Naminé get more friendly~!]

[Video]

[paopuprincess]

I don't remember voting Naminé the cutest.

[Sup sisters? Kairi's going to crash on your head.]

What's going on in Goldenrod?

[Video]

[dangerousidol]

[Are they triplets? They all look the same! But different hair colors...]

Uhmm... well, I want to meet Nami-chan to see what kind of talents she has!

Making this completely ridiculous: [Video]

[dressofheaven]

Extremely high charisma, for one. Typhon and Aphrodite both took to her immediately.

[The newest interloper doesn't look like one of the sisters, though with her white hair and red eyes she could probably be taken for Xion's mirror image. She's breaking in to the conversation on her own gear, adding a separate image to the broadcast rather than crowding the current one.]

We can go to Goldenrod, but we won't be staying long. That city will trap you if you aren't careful. As for you, Namine, if it turns out you have singing talent I'll teach you personally. Kairi can vouch that I'm the best person for the job.

[dangerousidol]

Really? Perfect!

[This girl looked like a lady. But when she mentions that she would be the one teaching Naminé, Rise huffs.]

I'm no staying in Goldenrod for long! And if she has any talents, I want to teach her! I'm already an idol, and an idol should be the one to teach a potential idol!
