Trial 15:

[pint_sized_carnivore]

[Not long after Blues' announcement, Chie opened her journal to make one of her own. It was one of those days where she was feeling a little social, so she went to surprise a few of her friends and drop by their rooms. She was surprised and also not, knowing how Paradisa just sweep people away at random, she should have expected it... ]

Hey, everyone. It's Chie... Sheesh, uhm, to those who knew Ib, Aradia, and Ohjiro-kun, the castle sent them all home...

[Chie sighed, obviously upset at the sudden disappearance of half of her friends in this castle.

Later, Chie can be found in the shooting range, where she now goes to vent off her frustration and practice shooting as Kate taught her]

Comments

[Chie chuckles]

Thanks! I don't think I'm stage material like you though...

[therealrisette]

Aw, c'mon! I bet you'd be great!

[She's not just saying that, either! Chie's cute, but kinda sporty. Pretty enough for the spotlight, but definitely a contrast to Rise so they'd be more complementary than competitive. She'd never really noticed that before they both came to the castle...]

... How do you play this, anyway?

[The game seems like a convenient distraction. But it doesn't look like the dance games she's seen at arcades (and never tried, obviously). How does it work?]

[pint_sized_carnivore]

It's pretty easy, you don't need a controller! [Chie moves her arm to access the menu]

There's a camera that captures your moves! Pick your song.

[therealrisette]

[Oh, well, that does seem easy! And since Chie asked her to pick a song, Rise tries it!

... Which means she's flailing at the screen a little bit until she figures out the menu controls. But then she starts seriously considering the songs listed.]

Hmmm... how about this one?

[And she predictably selects a cute, catchy pop song.]

[pint_sized_carnivore]

Oh hey, I like that song! Good choice, Rise-chan!

[It was an upbeat song, so the dance moves Rise needs to replicate are more fast paced, making it slightly more difficult to keep up to. It shouldn't be a problem for someone who danced on stage for a living before, but Chie is curious to see how Rise would do in this game. She sat on the side to watch and wait for music start]

Show 'em what you got!

[Chie gives Rise and encouraging clap]
