Aikatsu Legend: Distortion

Chapter 4

"Y'know, it would probably be good if we had actual idols helping us- or at least people with proper experience." Cecilia kicked back, trying to get a gummy sweet she had stuck in her teeth out with her tongue as she looked at the other underground idols in the room. "I mean, my friend Nana used to really like drawing clothes but she seems too stressed with school and improving her art to join." Cecilia mumbled, an expression of annoyance painting itself over her face as she continued her battle against the gummy in her mouth.

"Aileen used to go to an idol school... I thiiink, buuuuuuut, she uh- kinda creeps me out when she sings with her Pokemon." Cecilia's expression then lit up as she managed to swallow the gummy sweet; the sugary treat bringing Cecilia intense joy as her Brionne proceeded to eat the rest of the packet.

"Do you guys have any friends who might be interested in joining? Well- those who have experience in idolhood." The other four looked at each other nervously as they heard Cecilia's words, shuffling nervously as each of them attempted to find the words to answer Cecilia's question without seeming incredibly sad.

"Well Celia," Sigmund cleared his throat, taking the first few steps, for a moment all the others looked at him with admiration. Slightly impressed he was being this brave. "I do have a lot of friends, don't get me wrong. A lot of them do have the skills to teach us a thing or two, however- They... kind of live in places far, far away from here. Places I've never visited, personally. Even though we're close and we all know practically everything about each other... we've never actually met." Cecilia shot a confused expression at Sigmund, trying to understand his words, not fully getting what he was saying.

"Basically all of Sigmund's friends are either in this club or people he met over the internet." Kari smiled before crossing his arms and winking, Regina mimicking how Kari was sitting. "But they're all super cool people who would never hurt Sig." Kari paused for a moment, shooting a slight death stare at Haruka who snorted slightly. Kari then wrapped his arm around Sigmund's shoulder, reassuring him that it was normal and actually really nice.

Uso let out a small sigh, her fringe swinging slightly as she turned her head- Quinine in her arms as usual, leaving small bite marks on Uso's arms. "Well, my friend is already here in this club, so I don't really have anything to offer. But at least I do have a friend." Uso's voice was underlined with slight mockery as she sent a dry stare Haruka's way, moving in so she was sitting slightly closer to Kari- giving him a small fist bump which Haruka rolled her eyes swiftly at.

"I have a friend, she's pretty cool, from Galar, used to do half time shows. She can actually appreciate rock and metal music, also she wouldn't take any of your nonsense." Haruka's eyes narrowed as she didn't bother looking the way of the other idols as she spoke. Cecilia practically jumped to her feet as Haruka spoke, nodding in a vigorous manner as she bounced over to Haruka.

"She sounds perfect! Why don't we get her on the team?" Cecilia asked, her heart was pounding so rapidly with excitement you could hear it beating even around 6 meters away.
"No way, there's no way I'm making Victoria deal with you dorks." Haruka scratched her wrists as she twitched slightly, looking around the room. "Are we really getting more damn nerds down here to ruin the acoustics?"

"YES! Of course! How can we ever develop as idols if we don't get the advice of someone who actually knows what they're doing? The problem is finding them... Hm... Siggy! Cue the search montage!" Cecilia flicked around, about to raise her hand in the air but before she could Kari practically leapt up to stop her.

"E-erm, actually let's not do that! Because if we do then Haruka might actually kill us and hide our remains in a PC. Maybe we should search some clubs? I heard the school made some ex-idols and students with idol connections join certain clubs in order to get them another interest in hopes they wouldn't turn back to Aikatsu." Kari explained, pacing back and forth- Regina tumbling after him. "Perhaps we could start with the Gardening and Chess clubs? Those oughta have some quirky kids who are feeling fat and need validation from others. Maybe even some Hiro and Aya fans, those two did used to run those two clubs afterall." Uso let out a groan as she closed her eyes.
