[ It's been a pretty uneventful Sunday, honestly. Without much in the way of school or work to do, Sundays actually tend to be a bit lazy for Chitoge; Nimbasa doesn't really sleep, but the subway line is far quieter than usual, and with the fall weather beginning to set in, the tourists that so frequently fly into Mistralton to get their fill of Castelia are starting to head back to their homes, and the city air becomes different for it; the life is still there, of course, a fire that seems impossible to snuff out, but one that gives off a bit more muted of a light.

Chitoge and Sayaka have seen the tourists come and go like the seasons, after spending so many years growing up here, but the lazy atmosphere in the city just gives Chitoge more incentive to spend the day relaxing at the Marvelous Bridge. Much like Nimbasa itself, the bridge is certainly quiet, too, and even the Magikarp salesman decided to take the day off, leaving Chitoge essentially the whole left side of the bridge to herself.

Which is pretty fortunate for her, because Chitoge herself has been having a pretty good day on the fishing front; next to her in a little makeshift pool she made out of an ice cooler on wheels rests her haul for the day, about four pretty huge Magikarp, flopping around and doing their thing. Normally, someone wouldn't consider this a particularly impressive haul, but considering Chitoge's line, a dingy Old Rod that's seen far better days, it can't be helped that she wouldn't catch much else. Besides, Magikarps are all she needs; any Goldeens she manages to catch by chance are thrown right back. It can't be helped, after all; her sister has a soft spot for them, and seeing her face when she brings them in makes the whole thing worth it.

She's not a particularly patient girl, though, so fishing is...well, it can be a bit of a boring hobby, when she doesn't pass the time properly. On a nice day like this, though, it was more than pleasant enough of a way to unwind. She's sitting on the edge of the bridge, with her Sylveon napping in her lap, taking in the sun as it starts to make its way down towards the horizon. And since no one's around (and she made quite sure of that before she started to do this!), she doesn't feel anywhere near as embarrassed as she sings, waiting for her next bite... ]


In my liiiiife, I'm no longer alone now that love in my life is so neaaar... ♫

[ ...She went to go see her sister premiere at Les Misdreavus yesterday, and has had all of the songs stuck in her head ever since. To her credit, though, she's not terrible by any means; good luck getting Chitoge to admit it, but both of the sisters are musically inclined. Unfortunately, Chitoge is incredibly embarrassed of it, despite Sayaka's frequent attempts to rope her into performing alongside her, so it's a good thing no one's around to hear her embarrass herself while she sings show tunes alone on this bridge, right?

...Right? ]

In my liiii--uwaah!

[ To Gardevoir's credit, Chitoge made it pretty far along before the poor Pokemon had enough and decided to play its little prank. She had thought she was alone, but the sudden appearance of the big troublemaker manages to spook her so much that she drops her fishing rod and jumps backwards! At least the Magikarps are safe, but the rod is inches away from falling straight into the water...

It takes her a bit to process that the Pokemon that practically shaved five years off her life by startling her like that is actually her sister's, and honestly, that might just make her even more flustered. The shock's gone, but now she can't help but feel totally humiliated--she's been singing for so long, just how much did she hear?! ]


S-S-Sis! U-um, what a surprise, ehehe...

[ Maybe she didn't hear anything? Unlikely, but... ]

Y-you don't have to apologize, he just, uh, scared me half to death, is all...

[ Geez, Gardevoir, are you sure you're not a Ghost type or something... ]

[ Well, at least she doesn't have to worry about the fishing pole, and she can't deny, it was a little bit nice that he bothered to bring her lunch. It's not an apology by any means, but, she'll take it...

More importantly, though, knowing that Sayaka heard her singing just makes get even more flustered, if that was even possible. She knew it, but, it's a different story actually hearing it from her mouth...]


Sayaka, nooo, I told you, I sound awful!

[ sob..... ]

Seriously, you're only saying that because we're related! You sound way, way, way better than I do! You're the one who's the superstar, after all! You're the musical one here...

Besides, that's not important at all! Look, I managed to get you a good bunch today!

[ She says as she rolls the tub on wheels back over so Sayaka can see her catches; they seem pretty ordinary as far as Magikarps go to her, but, well, she knows Sayaka has a way of seeing into their souls, or something like that. ]

They're all yours!

[ She's about to offer a pretty weak argument back, but thankfully, it seems like her strategy to distract her sister worked; fishing isn't all that rewarding of a hobby on its own, especially with a lousy rod like hers, but when Sayaka smiles like this...well, the whole thing becomes worth it. Sayaka promises to take excellent care of them every time Chitoge catches her a new batch, but despite the sheer number of them, she's being absolutely sincere every time she says it. The number of them she has back home must be at least fifty, if not more than that, but, Sayaka's given all of them names, and she can recognize them by appearance alone...

And, on top of that, they all take an instant liking to her, too. She must have some kind of secret talent... ]


One or two of them tried to put up a bit of a fight, but they were no match for my expert fishing skills! ...And, they calmed down a bit once I told them that they'd be going to a good home.

[ It's true; though some of them make a bit of a fuss when Chitoge tries to reel them in, she tends to have a way of getting them to calm down! ]

Besides, you love them so much, seeing your face every time I show you new friends makes it worth it every time, so...I'm glad you like them. They're not usually this big, so they've probably been eating well down there...

[ As sad as it is to say, it's probably because of the lack of people coming and going, more than anything. People tend to litter off the bridge, and that messes with their whole diets...

Still, though, that last bit...it was asking too much to have Sayaka drop it entirely... ]


Look, that's not true, they stopped coming when I started singing. That's a sign, isn't it? If it was you here instead of me, then they'd all come flocking right to you, but because I sound like a Toxicroak, they all run away...

I guess they're just kinda hesitant to be friends with the girl who tricked them into getting caught with food. I can't really blame them, when I think of it that way. But maybe someday I'll decide to raise one so huge it'll make you jealous, Sis.

[ Not very likely. Geez, though, Chitoge can't help but wonder what Gyarados would be like if everyone raised their Magikarp like Sayaka does. She's just too precious... ]

Goldeen can be pretty nasty, though, you're right. Whenever one of those jumps on the line, I usually just let them have whatever kind of bait I stuck on. Magikarp are usually different, though. I think their flopping kind of has a rhythm to it...they fight for a little while, and then they tucker themselves out and get sleepy, and if you keep going like that for a while you catch them in no time...I'll show you next time I get a bite. Then maybe we can try to fish together and they can hear what a real singer sounds like.

[ She just gives her a chuckle at that...until Sayaka threatens to pinch her cheeks, because god damn, she is not about that life-- ]

If they really wanted dinner and a show, they should have swam out to Nimbasa to come see you last night, superstar. I know I told you a billion times yesterday, but you were awesome out there...how the heck can I go on stage with you when there's clearly such a huge gap there? I'll totally drag you down, and Mawile'll be upset with me and everything...

You're such a goddamn flatterer, Sayaka...

[ But Gyarados are so huge, it's a wonder that Sayaka is even able to keep them held on her legs for so long? Especially considering Sayaka's legs are so skinny, like, what the actual hell- ]

Seaking doesn't seem much better either, honestly. The horn is a bit much, and like...no offense to it, but, there are so much prettier and cooler fish out there?

[ Oof. Sorry, Seaking. But that comment makes her remember the container that Gardevoir gave to her, and... ]

Ugh, you're the best you know that? Your lunches blow mine out of the water, I swear...

[ Let's see what we've got today, and if we can share some; it'd be awful if Sayaka worked so hard on a lunch for her and didn't get to eat any of it herself... ]

It's not that I'm scared, though! It's just...I mean, look, it's a lot of pressure, isn't it? All those lines, and having to sing just right, in front of all those people, and...

...Okay, maybe I am a teeny bit nervous to try it. I just don't wanna mess up, you know? Especially if you're there. Last thing I'd wanna do is embarrass you while you're doing something you love so much...

Oh, I've seen that one on the Subway! Lumineon, I think its name is?

[ The name seems to rouse her Sylveon up from its nap (surprising, really, how all the commotion from before and it didn't even stir), Chitoge, of course, notices right away and scoops her up to let her rest on her shoulder... ]

It's pretty beautiful, but the prettiest fish Pokemon of all is still Milotic, bar none! But that's just because of all the work you put in to bringing it out...

[ Oh, fuck yes, curry over rice, and it smells divine. That's one thing about Sayaka's meals; Chitoge couldn't top them if she tried. They always have a way of ending up coming out just right, with that sort of homey quality to them that you can't quite match elsewhere...she doesn't know if her sister puts any special ingredients into her recipes or anything, but they have a way of feeling like they're practically bursting with love.

That much is evident from the first spoonful. Holy shit, Sis. ]


And I still think you're being too hard on yourself with that...

[ Chitoge, for God's sake, don't talk with your mouth full of rice..... ]

For your first time, I thought you did more than just fine. Besides, look at how far you've come since then...you're like a Pokemon Musical genius now! And if you got up there with an amateur like me, I'd hold you back, 100 percent. If I ruined your reputation or something, I don't think I'd be able to forgive myself.

[ But hearing her sister put it that way...fuck, she's such a pushover, when it comes to Sayaka. This is something she's been unflinching on for a while, but, she has such a hard time saying no to her...Sayaka knows just how to push Chitoge's buttons. ]

Don't get me wrong, you're totally right about the Subway, though, because when I'm battling I'm so in the zone it's like there isn't even a crowd to begin with...

[personal profile] gorira 2016-09-13 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
But that's sort of like Gyarados, too, right? Magikarp starts so weak, and then gets so powerful, once you give it the little push it needs. You just need to be a little patient...

And if you don't want me to talk with my mouth full, don't make such good food and expect me to keep having a conversation with you! Hmph!

[ It's got a bit of a kick to it, though, so she'll let it cool off a little bit; she was so eager to get those first few bites in that she almost didn't realize...

But when she puts her container aside, she looks up to see Sayaka, with that face, and those eyes... ]


D-don't do that, you know I can't say no to that goddamn face...

[ ...But what's the worst that can happen? It's just a practice, it's not like it's an actual show... ]

...

.........

When's your next practice?
gorira: (pic#10566145)

[personal profile] gorira 2016-09-13 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh no you don't-- ]

Listen, I-I didn't say I was definitely in, all I asked was when your next practice was! Don't go looking too much into it!

[ She actually sounds pretty flustered over this, and it'd look a lot less silly if she didn't have a stray bit of curry on her cheek. But she can't keep up that fiery facade for very long, because Sayaka starts sniffling, and...fuck. When it comes to her sister, she's the biggest goddamn pushover. And she thought she finally had her on this one; Sayaka had begged and pleaded with her so many times, after all, but she was set on not doing it...

So much for having that leg up on her. ...Chitoge's still feeling kind of iffy about it, but, again, it's just a practice, and an entirely new show, too. If there was any time to get started with it, it'd probably be now. And while Chitoge still thinks she sounds like a Politoed that got hit by a Thunder Wave... ]


I-I'll think about it, alright?

[ Sayaka should know by now, though, from years upon years of pushing her into doing something. Chitoge's "maybe," about 90 percent of the time, is a "yes".

And if the person asking is Sayaka, it usually bumps up to about 110 percent. ]

[ Thank goodness Chitoge's not a mind-reader like Sayaka can be at times, because she most certainly would not like that Houndoom comparison, as apt as it is. Nonetheless, it looks like it's another victory in the books for Sayaka.

Her sister really has been getting better at this, hasn't she...good grief. It's a good thing that ribbon she keeps on her wrist can basically be a handkerchief if need be, so she can prematurely stop the waterworks and wipe the tears off her sister's face... ]


You always did say you were gonna get me to do it eventually. Maybe it was just time.

[ Or maybe you're just a goddamn sap, Chitoge-- ]

...If I knew you'd start sobbing over it, I probably would've relented a lot sooner.

[personal profile] gorira 2016-09-14 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, yeah...we'll see what Tuesday brings, and maybe we'll see.

[ This is pretty natural, though; whenever Sayaka cried for any reason, the person to try and comfort her was always Chitoge. Even though Chitoge can be a little rough around the edges, Heaven help whoever or whatever would make Sayaka come home in tears. ]

What, though, are you saying we don't bond enough, after all we've been through, Sis? I'm so hurt, really!

[ If she's really hurt, though, it's not apparent on her face, because she's actually got a pretty big grin on her face... ]

Look, if you can figure out a place to put the damn thing without having it put a roof in the ceiling, maybe I'll let you have one. Good luck running that one by Mom and Dad, though...

[personal profile] gorira 2016-09-14 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
...So, if I do theatre on Tuesday, am I gonna turn into a nerd like you?

[ Chitoge can't help but sigh when her sister "faints," but she's definitely giggling...and, hell, she'll play along and catch her, too.

At least Sylveon seems to be enjoying the show. ]


You're such a goddamn dork, I swear...but fine, if that's a royal decree, then I guess I can't argue with that, Your Majesty. ...And by that, I mean you're a total drama queen.

...But I didn't say no. I wouldn't mind if you brought one home, but I'm just saying, you know how tall they are. ...Maybe if you make it worth my while, I'll help you beg Dad to let you bring one back home. But it's gotta be big. My skills at buttering him up don't come cheap...
