I seem to remember you needing a muse...

[discomposer]

yep, that's always true! it's not like i ever wanna stop being inspired!

action!

[blundering]

[ Leo's mention of writing Eve songs makes him smile, even though he wasn't anticipating anything like that. It's a kind gesture, no doubt, one he's determined to return the favour. He's now on the upper floors, feeling overwhelmed by the stark contrast. Luxury wasn't his cup of tea, but there was an undeniable shake of how different the atmosphere was.

Now with the idea he's arrived at the right suite, he softly drums on Leo's door a few times. ]

He~y! Tsukinaga-senpai, it's Sazanami.

returns home from vacation that was bad timing on my part lmfao

[discomposer]

Hey~~~! Nami! [ Leo will stumble to his door to open it up. He...did not clean! He's not SUPER messy like a hoarder, but this means there is sheet music fuckin everywhere and some scattered books etc. Music on the walls, music on desks, and so on...since he's a ten his room is like a series of rooms. There's a little recording studio with a piano even, and then a piano in the main room...and a nice kitchenette!

Leo basically never uses the kitchenette so Jun can do whatever he wants there. ]

Good timing, I'm starving! [ Why is this Jun's life now? ]

Action; shortly after the text invite

[softstoneheart]

[ Let's talk about space!

Topaz is knocking on his door. In just casual athleisure fashion, he people of the space-faring future don't look much different from people in Leo's time. The lower layers of her silvery-white hair are dyed a striking crimson red, with a streak on one side. She knocks at the door and waits. ]

Hey, it's Topaz. We were texting earlier.

[discomposer]

[ Let's talk about space!!!!!!! Also, it's truly disappointing that Honkai Star Rail didn't go harder on alien space fashion. Understandable, but disappointing! Where is Sampo's space chic outfit? Bet that would look like some kinda disaster.

Anyway, it takes Leo a few minutes to answer the door since he's kind of a scatter brain, but once he does it's a guy around her age in jeans and a hoodie. He brightens up and steps aside to let her in - as a 10, Leo's suite is pretty large and somewhat fancy, though the focus seems to be "music". A piano, sheet music scattered around and pinned to the walls, a mini recording studio...just his kind of thing, basically. ]

Oh, hey! You're the alien, right~? Then lemme say Uchuu~! ☆ [ A greeting for aliens. Sort of. ]

[tfy]

[Rinne's hiatus has not gone unnoticed. His disappearance isn't exactly top of the priority list, but now that they're three days into it, it's worth asking about!]

✨~Oh Leo-kun~✨

Have you seen Rinne-senpai? He's not returning my texts and I haven't seen him around lately, so I thought I'd ask since you said that thing about letting him stay overnight sometimes. Though if you want my opinion, you'd be much better off with me in your bed!

[............... wait a second.]

Sorry, ignore that last part. I don't know where that came from. It must be another malfunction.

[Actually, it's a belated curse taking effect, but he doesn't realize that.]

THIS REMINDS ME I WANTED TO ASK IF EVERYONE WANTED A GROUP CHAT POST...

[discomposer]

you can crash at my place whenever you want i don't care!

[ Fails to ignore it, casually. He doesn't see the big deal, although he gets the feeling that's some kind of insult to Rinne mostly? ]

anyway i've been working on a new piece ever since that dumb effect from last month wore off and i can focus...i'm pretty sure i saw rinne when i started working on it?

[ Has Leo eaten in the past 2 days? Stay tuned to find out (no). ]

action; 4/05-ish

[unrequite]

[ Midnight's gone ahead and rented the guitar he'd like to use for the occasion; it's slung over its back, the cords for a small handheld amp looped around his wrist, the amp itself dangling from his fingers. He's in his normal attire, the usual black leather and pink satin, but opted for fewer chains and rings on his hands and legs. They tend to get a bit percussive during practice, and he'd like to be properly ready for whatever he's getting into today.

He texts discomposer with a quick I'm here ⭐️, sends it, then realizes that in all of this excitement, he never asked for a name. His manners really are getting away from him... ]

[discomposer]

[ Leo is absolutely terrible with names so it's fine...he wouldn't remember Midnight's name yet if they'd exchanged them and certainly doesn't care if Midnight knows his name or not. He ends up making it to the elevator pretty easily - his own normal attire is jeans and a sweater, and he...

Realizes belatedly he has no idea who he's looking for. Whoops. But there's a guy with a guitar, so...? ]

Hey~! Guitar guy? ♪

@eve

[tfy]

[Hello, Leo. Did you miss having two ongoing inbox threads with Hiyori Tomoe? No, not particularly? Well too bad, because he's back again!]

~⋆｡˚✨Leo-kun! Oh, Leo-kun✨⋆˚｡~

Guess what I heard! There's someone in this resort who's seeking idol lessons. Apparently she went to Jun-kun first, but I thought this was a job for all 3 of us!

Or all 4 of us, I suppose, if Rinne-senpai ever climbs out of whatever hole he fell into. I'm not sure about the date yet, so if the lesson isn't until next month, hopefully he'll be back from the void or wherever and can also join! But either way, you should help!

[discomposer]

[ HE DOESN'T MIND (I'm going to link you my toplevel this weekend when I finish it though for in person actions - ) but.

Well.

He gets back to Hiyori after like...an hour and a half? Maybe? When his bracelet chiming finally registers? There's no explanation for his lackidasical reply time. ]

oh, we're giving lessons now? who're we giving them to? i don't mind helping out if it seems like fun ♪ but if i get bored i'll leave!

action; 4/15, the grand flower lawn

[arsenist]

[Getting through the maze is hard, but it's a puzzle that Akira enjoys. Usually the games here are taxing in a very different kind of way, so it's nice to be able to do something that... almost feels normal. What he doesn't expect at the heart of it, however, is the sprawling lawn of flowers.

He doesn't kneel, but Akira does stand by the edge of it to take it all in. It looks like somebody else is kneeling pretty close by to him, though-

Ah. His neck heats, but not enough to be visibly red just yet. That's his not!husband, isn't it? Tsukinaga... No, he's supposed to call him Leo. He hasn't seen him in a while, but it's nice to see him well.

As if cosmically timed, the moment that thought crosses Akira's mind is the moment that Leo suddenly slumps over like he's about to fall.]

Hey-! [He's moving without even thinking about it and catching him, but something feels... off. It's like Leo is putting all of his weight onto Akira.] Are you okay?

[discomposer]

[ What excellent timing, protagonist. Leo is slumping over. By the time he's caught he's about to crumple entirely. His expression is bleary, confused, and then - ]

Mm...? [ His eyes shut all at once.

Sleeping beauty snores a little. ]

@hunnyB; 5/2

[riskybeenus]

[Could he have just messaged them all on the Isekai Shuffle that suddenly exists now? Wow, it's been a month, guys. Nah, that might be a virus.

So instead, he hits them up individually.]

Great Tit at 2pm. Don't be late.

[If Leo gets lost then... Well, he'll just have to make Jun or Hiyori come. Or all three. It depends. Look at how serious he is with all his spelled out words instead of the nonsense he likes to type.]

[discomposer]

[ Checks this belatedly once he's already there, whoops. ]

text, un: angel

[schmisse]

Hey. If you aren't doing anything on the 14th, can I book you for the evening?

I'd like to invite you to watch a performance of mine. I haven't performed publicly in some time, and I feel like it'd be nice to put on a little show.

What do you say?

[discomposer]

sure! i'd be happy to come watch it. did you want me to play music to accompany it or what?

early june;

[riskybeenus]

[Jun has probably been in charge of feeding Leo like the class pet, but Rinne does still check up on him from time to time to make sure he's actually getting laid. You know, the important stuff in a sex casino that turns you hard the unfun way if you don't get hard the fun way. He had to at least make sure these guys weren't going to die on him, or worse, but he doesn't want to think of both options so... yeah.

He doesn't find him in his room, not in the dining areas, and none in the less shady parts of the casino. He was considering checking for him in House Finch just in case he had gotten sick of Rinne not inviting them to dirty dance on the stage with him or something (not that he does, but still) when his foot hits something solid and knocks him off-balance.

He falls like a tree, yelping in surprise, the culprit warm and squishy under him. Sorry, Leo. You were in the way.]

[discomposer]

[ That's what Leo gets for being a walking hazard. It's not like this is totally uncommon or anything - he unfortunately just drops to the floor to doodle whenever the mood strikes him and no on has bothered to stop him doing it yet here like Sena or Suou might back home. ]

Ah, no, the notes smudged - !

[ Way more important than Rinne falling I guess? And being squashed. ]

@eve (backdated a few days)

[tfy]

✨⭐️✨⭐️~Hello!~⭐️✨⭐️✨ It's me again! ✨😊✨

This is just a reminder that you're scheduled to judge the 🪄✨✨MAGIC SHOWCASE✨✨🪄 this weekend. Please report to the gym at noon on Saturday for judging! We've got a lineup of thrilling magic acts scheduled, and we'll be relying on you to help decide who deserves that first-place trophy.

Also, you said you'd play a bit of piano, so I'll be relying on you to do that too! Please make sure to have one piece in mind that's appropriate for a scene of flower petals dancing on the wind. And then be sure to have another piece in mind for a scene where a giant dragon flies through the sky!

@lilith

[blundering]

heeeey, tsukinaga-senpai! where the hell have ya been? you're not locking yourself up again, right~?

[ And living off of coffee. Again. ]

my health these last few months has been poor my b

[discomposer]

i never lock my door! i think they do it automatically

anyway good timing! come sing what i just wrote

@eve

[tfy]

Leo-kun, Leo-kun!

I have 2 questions!

1. Are you getting enough to eat? I know the size of your room got cut down. If you need food, you should come up to Jun-kun's suite! Or we can meet in a cafe somewhere. ~Whichever~!

2. I was going to type a second question, but it's somewhat sensitive. Basically, it's about Rinne-senpai and that 52 game. Are you alright with me asking?

[discomposer]

here has a bigger place now? i don't mind coming up but where's it even at? is there a piano?

[ that answers nothing about his eating. ]

since when have you cared if a question is sensitive, hiyo? just say whatever like normal

text ; un: wildflower

[loosestrifes]

( Well. It's not as if he has anything better to do than to follow up on the heavy suggestions of one Hiyori Tomoe. So, here he is, trying to pretend he's not overthinking this in the highest way possible. )

Hello, Mr. Idol Knight~ I suppose now is where I should introduce myself as the Prince from a faraway land. Though, from what Hiyori is saying, it sounds as if I'm the one meant to be your knight, in the end?

( Well. He kind of implied mutual help, but he's ignoring that. )

Hehe. Anyway, I did like your song, so thank you for allowing me to hear it.

Have many of your friends gone home, here? Or is it just that you haven't made many from the start?

[discomposer]

hiyo?

[ Please hold a second as Leo remembers he did talk about this with Hiyori and mentally catches up, brushing off stray notes onto paper so he can think clearly. He's way easier to contact here when he can't escape his wrist, at least. ]

oh right that!

whoa, the pretty worded jab at the end really IS tenshi like! ☆

like you're trying to be nice but couldn't quite help yourself at the end looking for a soft spot to stick in a sword. that kinda thing is usually paired with a kind smile i wanna punch, wahaha~

but if this is the part where you get to see the color of my blood, i don't mind it that much? that blood is called "magi" and "nika" and names i never managed to memorize, or it's called sena and naru and rittsu and suo who were never here anyway!

hang on. i wrote your name down somewhere but I forgot which bit of skin it was on. hiyo mentioned it like twenty times so it would sink in, but i'm total crap at that.

not my left arm nor my right - you're on the left ankle! ikko, got it. ♪

thanks for the compliment! i figured that was the best choice that also had to go through the nosy hiyo who i had already scared badly.

@senku

[senku]

Want to go out for some ramen sometime?

[Hiyori has informed him Leo needs companionship and food.]

[discomposer]

[ Help he has since forgotten about the whole matchmaking thing but luckily Leo is easy enough once he notices his wrist is buzzing with a message on his watch and finally surfaces for air to answer it from the music he'd been working through.

He totally forgot Senku's username and actual name, though he'd recall a face, but knowing who the hell he is talking to actually isn't high on Leo's list of needs. ]

sure! wow, how'd you know i was hungry? are you a psychic?

Backdated to 12/25

[tfy]

[Although Hiyori (and Jun) surely had plans to see Leo on Christmas and could easily bring their gifts over in-person, Hiyori decides to have his delivered. It's fun to receive deliveries, he figures! And it's also less stuff for him to have to carry to Leo's suite. (Or for Jun to have to carry, because let's be real here.)

Hiyori's gifts consist of a simple sweater with a music note pattern, kind of like this, but in Knights royal blue. He also includes a soft matching scarf and some printed photos. He printed out the tea circle group photo, as well as a couple of the Pretty 5 group pics and a couple of Naru pics. The photos are tied together with a ribbon in an envelope, along with a note.

See you later for Christmas cake!

The note is signed with his signature!]

[discomposer]

[ He was just gonna take his along, but Leo ends up returning a delivery. Predictably for him the main gift is a somewhat thick pack of sheet music - a few songs laid out, although it doesn't seem like the lyrics for all of them are totally finished. More a suggestion in the unfinished ones of where voice lines can go and scribbled instructions that he's fine to help modify the music however Hiyori likes - two potential duets and one possible solo, and then a solo he bothered to actually work out words to. He generally likes to actually work lyrics out with whoever he writes things for, when it comes to other idols, when it comes to more specific pieces.

They do have one universal common feature: each of them is markedly more difficult than anything else Leo has thrown Hiyori and Jun's way to sing so far. Unfortunately (?) he tends to give the people he likes more increasingly difficult music. Sena always got the hardest parts when they were younger, and he's always writing things that stretch Tsukasa's range these days. It maybe makes the pieces more rewarding but also, why is he bullying people like that...? The songs should all be totally possible, but they're going to be the annoying kind that take some actual effort to nail in, essentially, to the point it really probably does feel like bullying when Leo means it somewhere more along the lines of "I like them, so they can handle it!" You cannot unlock the lower easier tier once you've reached a higher one. Good luck.

There's also some expensive chocolates, carefully selected to have no effect whatsoever other than being sweet, although there's a map of fillings laid out on the inside of the box, and a gift certificate to a clothing store with a note that he's pretty sure Hiyori has better taste than he does. ]

un: angel

[schmisse]

Knock, knock. Anyone there?

[ Hiyori pimped Leo out... ]

[discomposer]

[ He's definitely still in "scared the heck out of Hiyori jail", huh? Leo actually does not realize this is what that is, and thankfully can just scroll up a bit to see who's texting although he's so friendly he doesn't mind not knowing. ]

oh, a knock knock joke? i don't even wanna guess, lay it on me!

text | un: alcazarzaray

[indigently]

Um, hi.
This is.. I'm so sorry for the suddenness of this message.
It must seem really strange.

Anyway, my name is Kaveh. Your friend, Hiyori Tomoe? He told me you were interested in blind dates and suggested I text you so we could set one up.
He suggested that perhaps we go out for coffee.

If that's something you're interested in doing, then.. let me know?
If you'd rather not, that's okay too. Like I said, I'm sure this is quite a strange text to receive.

[discomposer]

oh it doesn't seem strange! hiyo has been introducing me to a bunch of people he knows recently since a bunch of people i knew all turned back to stone.

coffee is my favorite food so i'm always free for it!!!!!

2/14 delivery

[loosestrifes]

( Since Esikko isn't really sure how often Leo leaves his room, he has this gift hand delivered by staff. It's a pretty black box with a bright, sparkly red bow. Inside, there's an assortment of handcrafted chocolates...

They're shaped all pretty and lovely, formed into music notes. There might be a mistake here or there, but it's clear he was referencing actual music to make these. There's no bar to place them on, or a time signature, or anything like that, but they're still cute, right?

Unfortunately they taste horrible. Somehow, they manage to taste stale, with a strange aftertaste, and overwhelmingly sweet all at once... Each bite past the pretty exterior grants a strange texture that's amazing to be obtained from chocolate. They only get worse as time passes.......

Enjoy? There's a small note, too:

I've never done this before, so don't tell me if you don't like them.

His name is signed in hanja. )

[discomposer]

[ Periodically, actually, and he has plans to do a little live musical thing with Hiyori and a few people that he was distracted by regardless of how they played out, but. Give him a second because despite that being Valentine's related he forgot...

He will go be annoying in Ikko's inbox. ]

@eve

[tfy]

Oh Leo-kun~~~~! ✨🎶✨🎶✨🎶✨🎶 I have some news to share!

1. There's a girl, or rather a Queen here, who has her own studio! She also likes to record songs, and she's interested in collaborating!

2. I found another match for you! 🥰 His name is Reign Fear, and he's a fun-loving free spirit just like you are. He also might be a succubus!

Though that's just one theory. Anyway, what do you think of those pieces of news? Or rather, who would you like to meet first? 😘

[discomposer]

hiyooooooooo

i would like to meet the first first i think? but the second has an interesting name?? that sounds like a hard rock kind of vibe, is that the personality?

also, what are the other theories??
