ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY AU In another world, another time, the sword boys are fighting hard in a different sort of war. In the harsh battlefield known as… show business. Whether as musicians, idols, dancers, performers, actors or whichever roles they’re contracted to do, they’re all working hard to produce a Great Success and bring in fame to their agency. All while being supported by their agency and friends, the same people who might be their saniwa(s) or master(s) back in our world. In this meme, they are normal humans in the tough, fast moving industry that is entertainment. NOTE: Masters and saniwas can be presidents/producers/managers of the swords. For example (and you don’t HAVE to follow it), Nobunaga Oda can lead the successful Oda Agency, where performers like Yagen have produced hits. Or a saniwa can help manage the schedule and seeking job offers for the swords. POSITIONS MUSICIANS - Pop, rock, classical, blues, enka, whichever genre you perform, your music is both your life and your livelihood. SINGERS - Like musicians, your voice is your most important marketable skill. Hopefully, you can rise to stardom and sing to the hearts of many! ACTORS - TV shows, movies, stage plays, your acting skill is your worth in performing and move the heart of many. Many of the younger (read: tantou) workers in the industry can find themselves starting off as a young actor, if they can keep up with the demanding schedule. IDOLS - A mixed role with a focus on being a popular media personality, idols can work a variety of different roles from singing, acting and modelling for advertisements. STAFF - Behind the scenes and supporting them are the many staff members. From producers to managers and even the president of their agencies, these people are what helped their charge get promoted and finding job opportunities! Hopefully, they make things easier to handle in this stressful industry... PROMPTS 1. Recruitment: You’ve been scouted! Whether you pass an audition or got the attention of an agency’s staff member, your life is about to change from normal to something more. Once you accept it, going back won’t be easy. 2. First Meeting: Time to meet your coworkers and boss! Whether you’ll be working together as an idol group or following orders from your manager, you’ll have to get along or else life would be rather awkward. 3. Rehearsal: Time to rehearse! For whatever you’re rehearsing for, you better get it right or else you’ll be a laughing stock in the industry. No pressure. 4. First Job: Got the jitters? Clear them out, because this is what rehearsal was supposed to prepare you for. Go out there and blow their minds away! 5. Song Writing: You have to write a new song together, but can you even agree on a theme and the lyrics? Better figure it out before the deadline comes... 6. Fanmails: You hit it big! Big enough to get…fanmails. What kind of letters you received together? Either adorable, silly or sometimes, outright...creepy. Ew, they want to what with you? 7. Free Time - Finally! Work have been so busy, that you can finally have a break or even a day off. How will you spend it? Hopefully, you can spend your break in peace without being seen by fans... 8. Rivalry: You’re not the only one making it big. Other performers and agencies are out there, working hard to get the same job offers as you do, competing for the same audience and customer’s money. Do you get along with your rival? Or do you clash? 9. Scandal: Gasp! Scandals! Whether it’s true or not, your reputation is on the line and unless you do something about it, your life in this industry will be ruined! (Are you sure you’re not sleeping with that person…?) 10. Press Conference: There’s a press conference. What was it about? An important announcement? Chat about it before or after the conference… 11. Fired: For whatever reason, you’re fired. Time to say goodbye? How will you explain this to everyone? 12. Retirement: It’s been a good, long run, but it’s time for you to step down and let the youngin’ to take the stage. Or maybe you’re retired from singing and acting, but you’re open to other ventures… Talk shows? Becoming a manager or producer? Starting your own agency? 13. Wild Card: GO WILD. There’s probably another scenario I’m missing from above.

[ And he would listen with hungry ears, enjoying the stories which make him more cautious regarding his approach toward dressing Mikazuki. He doesn't doubt the other actor would be a tangled mess, given how intricate some of the knots ended up having to be and how difficult it ended up being, but he makes do. Failing in front of Mikazuki was not an option! ]

... so what's it like, having all of those fans? [ He asks as he finishes, though his hands linger on the blue-clad man's waist, in order to help himself up from the crouching position he took. ] Does it get tiring?

[On the other hand he should feel embarrassed needing to ask a junior actor to help him, but when you're this useless that shame is no longer that much of an issue...]

Ah, it's nice to see so many adorable admirers.

[He remains calmly still, despite the contact.]

It would be nice to be able to get closer to them, but you know how it can be.

[ There's no shame in this. When everything is done for you for the longest amount of time, it's like not knowing something, and there's no harm in lacking knowledge.

Besides, surely at one point Mikazuki had to deal with the day-to-day issues that plagued him? It probably was easier to have others do the things for him because acting! Reading! Emoting! ]

Haha, well... as an actor and someone who has loved your work... it is mind-blowing, getting to meet you in person.
