V3 for the blues

[recklessice]

[One morning in dressing room, flyers have been given to everyone, even in the front paper of the newspaper. 'The first Crypton VOCALOID 3' and the news follows; Crypton has upgraded the male blue Vocaloid, KAITO, and he is known as KAITO V3. He received a very welcome from the public and surpass Hatsune Miku in sales. Comes with four voice banks, it's similar to Append; Straight, Soft, Whisper, and English for international use. KAITO V3 is successful result for VOCALOID 3 and Crypton decided to upgrade the others as well.]

It should be out months ago, but oh well. This year is a good start anyway.

[Says the append looking blue Vocaloid on top of the bus. He swinging his legs while reading the news.]

Comments

...Alright, consider the temptation yielded to.

[mrlivingskull]

['Sup, me and mine also got a flier. Technically it's still at home, but here I am out an' about, and I seen it in the grocerymart newspaper, too. Apparently it's a thing?]

Gettin' fancier all the time...


[But Saul himself doesn't seem to think much of it beyond that. Sure, there'll be some kinda impact on the Vocarealms; new worlds to draw from, new souls, new histories...and sure, you can expect both good and bad things to come from it. The simple occurrence of change brings possibility, and it don't always discriminate. But change, by itself, is good. It's the balance of the cosmos and all that; the great everything expanding and growing, which it's doing all the time anyway, which it's supposed to.]

[Life goes on. It moves and changes and breathes. That's how you know it's life.]



((If nobody minds the possibility of slowtags/thread-drops, here be a man. Everyone come at 'im. =D))

[doubtfulparagon]

[Why hello skull guy, Miku happens to run at you.]

Saul-san!

[She looks troubled.]

<3

[mrlivingskull]

[--Oh, hey there. You're a face he hasn't seen in a while. And he's glad to see it, have no doubt - except for the part where you seem like something's on your mind...]

Hey, kid. What'samatta, you okay?

<333

[doubtfulparagon]

Um.. This.

[She shows the flyer, perhaps Saul already seen it.]

I'm not very sure how am I going to react to this.

[mrlivingskull]

[Yep, he's seen it. Whoever dropped 'em in the city was apparently set on making sure people didn't miss the news. And considering who this Miku's brother is...]

...Yeah. Can see how that'd shit on a nerve.

[doubtfulparagon]

What should I do, Saul-san? I'm drawing a blank page here.

[mrlivingskull]

[shrug] Way I see it, was bound to happen eventually. We're connected t'all kindsa Vocaloid worlds, 'least enough that this stuff gets through. One of 'em was bound to make a shiny new Kaito sooner or later. Every place's got its own flow a' time an' minds, you know? 'S own heartbeat an' everything.

Sure would've been nice if you'd had these guys 'steada yours, though. Workin' upgrade woulda saved all ya'll lotsa pain.

[doubtfulparagon]

It's... true.

I was hoping my siblings won't take this too hard. Especially Nee-san and Nii-chan.

[mrlivingskull]

...All I can say is to be there for them if they need ya. 's about all you can do, honey.

[doubtfulparagon]

Oh, Saul-san.

[Miku relaxes but still in pain inside her.]

My brother doesn't need my pity. He's different than you thought. All I can do is to be with him... while I'm fully scared.

/2

[mrlivingskull]

If he's strong enough that he don't need it, so much the better. But you don't gotta pity someone to support 'em. If he knows you got his back, that's doin' some good by itself. Goes fer the resta yer family, too - you all got each other. That counts for somethin'.

[mrlivingskull]

...An' look, this may not be th' smartest question in the worlds, but if yer scared...well, that somethin' I gotta ask about - is there anythin' I can do to help ya? Anythin' at all?

[doubtfulparagon]

Nii-san has red eyes like this.

[Using her fingers to show how 'big' her green eyes are. And then she makes kinda sore voice.]

Then Nii-san make creepy voice like an old serious man. And his words are twisting too.

[As her voice turns normal, she continues.]

His glare can even scare kids away.

[mrlivingskull]

[slow nod]

I heard th' scary stuff about 'im before. [Not saying from who.] Wasn't he gettin' better, though?

Placeholder until we get a few of our other threads wrapped up, if that's okay?

[portalholic]

That's not exactly how I'd put it.

[mrlivingskull]

How wouldja?

[portalholic]

Highly upsetting.

You know what this means, Saul.

[mrlivingskull]

...Yeah, I know what it means for you an' yers. Salt on th' old wound, reminders a' past fuckups. Was just thinkin' that it was sad you an' yer family couldn'ta had a team like this helpin' you out, [he says, gesturing at the advertisement poster.]

But by itself, I'm not thinkin' it means anythin' but one a' the worlds got busy. We're connected to a bunch of 'em; somethin' like this was gonna happen sooner or later. Earthfolks in particular don't like givin' technology a rest. There's always something new in the making.

[a thought occurs to him.]

A' 'course...I'm assumin' this is just regular ol' Crypton, not CEC. Number two likes to advertise 'emselves on all their workin's; never a secret who made what when that bunch's involved.

Or am I wrong an' they done changed the rules on me?

[portalholic]

The logo thing is true enough, the Enrichment Center was never really shy about their name... so yeah, probably a regular competent Crypton.

[she 'exhales', raising a hand to rub at her eyes]

...None of that makes this any easier, Saul. Even if it could be logical. I'm not feeling logical right now. Not at all.

Perhaps not the best tag, but... it's IC, at least? ='D

[mrlivingskull]

[...a quiet nod. Then:] I know how that can be.

...Y'need any help? Anythin' I can do?

Tags don't always have to be long, you know! :)

[portalholic]

Just asking that is enough. I'm not even sure what really would help here, other than a time machine or something.

Knowing I got friends and family around is good though. I mean, it does help a lot... I just...





Fuck.

True. =) I was worried about his diction primarily; his voice feels oddly rusty.

[mrlivingskull]

[The masked youth(?) walks over and gives her back a light and friendly pat.]

...How about a drink or two? Could be that it'll lighten th' load. Or hell, if whatcha want's an ear...I got two, an' they're fer you, if they can serve ya.



((What's strange is, it hasn't even been that long since I last threaded him. o.o))

I'm like that with all my muses, especially Imi. One reason why I've been slow and worried

[portalholic]

How 'bout both? Drinks go well with talking.

I hear you. I've had long dry periods in the past for that very reason. =(

[mrlivingskull]

They sure do. Let's go on, then.


((If it helps, Meiko seems pretty fine right now to me. =) And, so long as my head isn't totally dead, I'm always open for doing a memethread or the like to help get some muse momentum going.))

[portalholic]

Got a place in mind?

((Imi is the one I'm most worried about. I'm not sure if my perception of my rping skills have changed or how I play him or what, but I'm worried he's not as cute/derpy/funny/interesting as before and it's kind of dragging me down since he's my main...

oh yeah, I did promise you a meme before! I'm so sorry I've been so out of it!! :( ))
