[ Afternoon, pokemon enthusiasts. The sun may not be out, but the deep freeze of winter seems to be but a distant memory in the past! It’s pleasantly balmy heading into the weekend without an ounce of precipitation, making it a wonderful mid-March day to be outside! If you happen to be by the Goldenrod department store, you’re sure to catch the stage stationed right next to the entrance, with three young women on it and a gaggle of NPCs surrounding them. ]

Good afternoon everyone, thank you all for coming! Azusa Miura here~ It makes me happy to see so many of your turned up for this~ I’m glad I wasn’t late today, or I’d have missed all those excited faces...

Everyone! Hi there! How are you this afternoon? Are you ready for another Are we Pokelive? Sunday! Haruka Amami here, and we’re going to get suuuuper pumped because we have a really big announcement to make, so please listen!

Uu-uuu~! Yayoi Takatsuki here! To everyone who’s just tuning in for the first time, and to all those people who have followed us from our earlier shows- thank you so much~! And now, for the main event... Haruka-san, Azusa-san! Are we all ready?

[ The three idols pass smiling glances. Then they raise their hands together with their mics held skyward and announce: ] We are Project Clefairy~! / It’s time for Project Clefairy~! / Project Clefairy’s evolution begins now!

[ … Oops. Not exactly as planned! They exchange sheepish looks wondering who goofed on the script (all three of them did) but music starts playing which prompts Haruka to step forward and press on! ]

Project Clefairy will perform a brand new song! Afterwards, we’ll take questions or requests from the audience and from those of you catching this on the pokegear, especially since we know a few of you guys are just dying to get to know us a little better! Anyway, our new song is called The world is all one !! Please listen!

[ The song picks up and the three go at it!. ]

And... there.

[ There is a white-frosted cake on the table. Haruka just finishes putting the last candle on it (seventeen of them, if one is counting) and looks pleased. ] I guess I really made it, after all. Mmm hmm, looks good.

[ Again, like last time, it appears she is unaware that she is being recorded. She beams a quiet happiness, which seems very muted compared to her normal bubbling enthusiasm and strong gusto. ] I wonder what she will think?

[ She chuckles to herself, taking a kitchen lighter and starts lighting the candles. ]

Happy Birthday, Chihaya-chan--ahh.

[ Haruka finally makes eye contact to the camera, stopping in her tracks. Instead, she smiles and shakes her head, reaching behind the gear. Haruka sets it upright on the table to face her, and pulls her arms back to her body now with a Spinda in tow. ]

Hi there. Umm... this cake is for a friend. It's her birthday today, and it's like all of a sudden, my body just went into auto-pilot. I woke up this morning and thought "It's her birthday today," and then I'm frosting a cake. [ She forces a laugh and looks embarrassed. ] I guess... it's really silly for me to do all of this, right? I mean, she's back home now, so she couldn't blow out the candles here even if she wanted.

[ She smiles, though it doesn't hide the sadness from her eyes. ]

Oh, Starter Appreciation Day was a few days ago. My starter is this guy here, and I pampered him up for the whole day. I gave him a bath, brushed his teeth, a haircut, brushed his fur, trimmed his claws... I know some pokemon probably would hate that, but he looked real happy. Look, I even wore this too. [ Haruka reaches behind her back and reveals a headband with bear ears on them. She puts them on, giggling as she coddles her Spinda. ] Aren't they super cute?

So, how did you spend your day appreciating your starter pokemon?

[ Spinda nudges Haruka, then points to the lit candles halfway through the wax already. ]

Oh, right. If you're in Goldenrod City and would like a slice of cake, please stop by the Breeding House.

[ Haruka is about to turn off the gear, but looks at the cake for a long moment. Spinda gently smacks Haruka's forehead and leaves his paw there. Haruka flinches and recoils, but understands the gesture. There there, he seemed to say. ]

Nnn. Thank you, Spinda.

...

Happy Birthday, Chihaya-chan. I hope everything's going okay.

[ She blows out the candles. ]




[[ OOC: If you're in Goldenrod, come get some cake. ]]
