towering like two heads over most of the population

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

[For some time, a new resident has been shambling along the streets of the DR-city, lost in a map, occasionally stopping to look at his surroundings or to knock his head into low-hanging door frames. Who the hell are these things made for, anyway?! Baffled, he turns his map upside-down, hoping to make sense of his situation. He stares at it, intently, and finally...

....nothing. UGH THIS IS SO USELESS--

THIS ISN'T TEXAS.

OR BIG BEN.

OR THE BIGAMY COMPOUND.

THIS IS THE WORST VACATION EVER.

Calming down, the lost giant vocaloid goes back to his map, this time rotating it to its side and carefully ducking to dodge a low-hanging branch. Jeez. If he didn't know better, he'd think he had wandered overseas somehow - it's like everything in this place is made for a much smaller breed. Like when he did background singing work, he had to stay in those hotels with the tiny tiny beds. COME ON WHAT IS UP WITH THAT, SERIOUSLY. Frustrated, he blindly picks up the pace, his head still buried in the most useless map ever - and runs his head directly into an appropriate enough stop sign with a resounding CLANG, losing his balance and map and landing on his back in the process.]

oh for the love of-- TH' HELL IS THIS, A DAMN MIDGET TOWN?!

Promotional Videos! Geez don't you know anything?

And trust me. Here. It happens.

So does spontaneous translation, apparently. 'cause I'm speaking Japanese right now. So, no. I don't need you to speak slower. Maybe with a little less attitude though!

[sigh. This man might even be more infuriating than Dell...]

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

Y'mean music videos? Yeah, we got those!

So what, do I gotta bow or whatever and take my shoes off, I forget how this crap works, honestly.

Al, by the way.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

... same thing, I guess. [actually has no idea why they call them PVs in Japan]

I don't think formalities really apply around here so much. I mean we are kind of trapped in a strange place as it is.

... Haku Yowane. Nice to meet you, Al. I guess

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

Oh! Right, then! Haku! [grabbing your hand and SHAKIN' IT, HE IS SO FRIENDLY YOU SEE.] Haku Matatta! Or something, right?!

...waitdidyousaytrapped.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Uwah! [Thanks for damn near taking her off her feet, Al :|]

... no. Just Haku.

And yes. Trapped. They call it the Dressing Room though I swear something like Vocatown would work so much better and none of us have been able to leave since we got here.

Heck, I even started a candy shop just cause I really had nothing better to do...

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

Pretty limited wardrobe for a dressing room, then?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

... [twitch]

Just what is that supposed to mean?

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

I guess if you like runnin' a store that's great and all, but it seems like a waste of your programming to not sing. Place is all kinds of limited. Kind of what traps are.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Oh.

Ah... I suppose. We are kind of limited when it comes to performing considering our audience is... well... us.

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

Tch. Okay, okay. Fair enough. I apologize.

Where do you get the candy, then?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

You know...

I don't really know.

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

Oh.

So, what?

It just... arrives at the store?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I mean I put an order in through the computer that I've got hooked up, but other than that it just... arrives.

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

You...

You've never wondered where it even came from? When you can't leave?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

... no?

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

That's.

Kinda impressive. Damn.

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

[shrugs] Probably better not to question it, hoenstly.

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

... Is it at least any good?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

The candy? Of course. I wouldn't have a business if it wasn't.

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

Well, at least the weird town cancer candy has that going for it, y'know?! Maybe I'll stop by sometime, I don't know. Does the town just crap out money, too?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

[shrugs] Most people seem to have at least some kind of job or money stashed away on their own.

[thebiggerest.livejournal.com]

I guess this old town would be lookin' pretty shabby if they weren't! Tch, figures, though! At least if you got a computer, there's gotta be an outside world somewhere around here, y'know?

[drunkkareoke.livejournal.com]

Oh probably. But the way I see it we're more of a community here, so there's not a huge reason to go running away from it.

[she shrugs again, glancing around] I like it here.
