Riko #449: Signature Pose Brainstorming Session
Riko
Come on in.
Player
Thank you.
You
I'm coming in! Yay, it's Riko's piano!
Player
You, you shouldn't touch that without asking first.
Riko
*Giggle* It's fine, make yourselves at home. I'll bring you something to drink.
Player
Thanks.
You
I see sheet music! What piece is this for? It looks really difficult to— Huh?
Player
What's wrong?
You
What do you think this is?
[Fade in/out.]
Riko
I'm back— Um, what are you doing?
You
Hey, Riko! How's this? Does this pose look good? “Aye aye, to the future!”
Player
Wow, your notebook is really something! You wrote down ideas for signature poses and catchphrases for everyone in Aqours. You even included a few different variations…
Riko
Aaaaaaugh!
Riko
Wh-Wh-Why did you look at that?! I-I know I said to make yourselves at home, but not like this!
You
Oh gosh, I'm sorry! It was sitting on the piano and I got curious so…I took a peek.
Riko
The piano?! R-Right, I wrote those when I was playing, so I must've left it on the music rack…
Player
Um, I'm really sorry for looking without asking first.
Riko
No, it's my fault for leaving it out so conspicuously. But, uuugh… I wasn't planning on showing anyone those notes…
| Option 1: “You're good at coming up with these kinds of things.” |
|---|
| Player Riko, are you good at coming up with poses and stuff? Riko I wouldn't say I'm good at it or anything, but I was thinking about how we could make our live shows more exciting, and then the ideas kept coming. |
| Option 2: “All of your ideas were great.” |
| Player All of the poses and catchphrases were great. You have a fantastic grasp on everyone's personalities and what sets each member apart. Riko B-But wasn't it annoying of me to think these up for everyone else? They all probably want to come up with their own ideas… Or maybe they don't want to do poses at all… |
You
I like the one you thought up for me. I love it, actually! I think Chika and the others will like theirs, too.
Player
We don't have to show them if you don't want to, but you put so much thought into them for Aqours. It feels like a waste to just file it away.
Riko
You think so? If both of you feel that way, then…maybe I could show them to the others.
Player
Yeah! Hopefully we can show them off at a live show one day.
You
By the way, I don't think I saw any signature poses or catchphrases for yourself in that notebook, Riko.
Player
Yeah, I noticed that too. I looked over it a few times and only saw ideas for eight people.
Riko
I just couldn't come up with anything. I couldn't think objectively… Besides, thinking of your own catchphrase is super embarrassing.
Player
In that case, let's come up with yours together. I can offer you some objectivity with You!
You
Absolutely!
Riko
What? No, it's okay. I don't need one!
You
Of course you do! We wouldn't want to leave you out of the fun!
Player
Just imagine it, Riko. Everyone's on stage doing a cool pose, except you… That would be so sad.
Riko
M-Maybe you're right…
You
All right, let's think up the prettiest, cutest, and coolest pose and catchphrase for Riko!
Riko
*Groan* Ugh, I can't get over how embarrassing this is!
