Enstars Open RP and Voice Test

[rottencactus]

WELCOME TO ENSEMBLE SQUARE


Hello producers! This is an 100% judgement free open post for people looking to both voice test and just muck around now that we've all got the english release of music. New and old are welcome here and this post is free to be passed around! You do not have to know me in order to post here.

Quick Rules:

1. This is for voice testing so be kind of others trying out characters for the first time.
2. Label how concerned with spoilers you are in any top-levels as a lot of us are still catching up on the story from Basic.
3. Respect content warnings and opt-outs anyone may have. Enstars is a buckwild canon! Not everyone is comfortable engaging with certain parts of it and there's nothing wrong with that.
4. Have fun its idol time babey

Prompts

Ensemble Square

Renting out a training room, holding a meeting, having a Live, scuttling around on the roof because someone left you unsupervised and not even god himself has dominion over your whims? There's lots to choose from. Get some practice in, grab a bite to eat at the cafeteria, go nuts.

Work

Whether its handing out fliers or doing meet-and-greets, you gotta earn that sweet sweet company scriptL$. Work with your partner to get the job done!

Yumenosaki

Go to class because it's not enough to have a full time job on top of everything else. At least you can ditch for work, but that doesn't mean you can ditch forever. Drag yourself to class, or be dragged by someone else, and get that sweet idol education.

Around Tokyo

You have a day off?? Huh. Oh well, better make the best of it! ES is smack in the middle of Tokyo so there's plenty to go see and do. Go find a nice cafe, go shopping, find a nice park, visit a shrine. You'll probably not get recognized by the general public, right? Good luck.

These are just suggestions for prompts! Feel free to post and tag with whatever you want! I will also have a TFLN top level below for further hijinks.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to this journal and PM me.

The more you practice, the less you'll do that.

[Matter-of-fact, but it's Shu, so he's focused on something else entirely, right? Like so:]

Let me see it.

[Mika's not dead, he's doing something useful, even if he's injuring himself doing it... Call this morbid curiosity.

Of course, he didn't specify that it's the embroidery he wants to see, not the wound. It's easy to interpret that either way, isn't it?]

[nnah]

Yeah, I'm gonna try an' get better at it... I was hopin' to surprise ya with it, but I've gotta work harder.

[It's taking literally every ounce of his willpower to not put himself down or make any more doll or garbage analogies. He's been trying really hard to be human lately, okay!]

Huh? I haven't patched it up yet, but... if ya really want one, I'll send over a picture, 'kay?

[Mika's first assumption was the wound, honestly, so sends a picture of his hand with the cloth in the background beneath it, pricked finger upturned.

The embroidery doesn't look bad at all - nowhere near Shu's level, of course, but there's a lot of care put into it until it abruptly stops for obvious reasons. His finger wound isn't grotesque or anything either, but it's a fair bit deeper than he usually pricks himself, considering that 1) he stopped sewing because of it, and 2) it drew blood.]

[clothwaltz]

[Work smarter AND harder! He'll pick up a thimble tomorrow, when he remembers this, and mail it right away.

Shu takes some time to look at both the wound and the embroidery, making quiet "hmm hmm hmm" sort of noises for a moment.]

You need to relax more when you're pulling the thread through. The tension isn't consistent in the satin stitching. [A beat.] Otherwise, it's quite clean. Now go wash your hands and bandage up your finger, so you won't get... gangrene or something. God forbid your hand falls off. I can't have that. I need that hand.

[Another beat. He's thinking. He's thinking so hard. Kagehira was doing something nice for him and maybe... well, wouldn't it be a waste to mail just a thimble all that way?]

What's your favorite color again? And your favorite flower.

[nnah]

[Being appraised is always pretty nerve-wracking, truth be told, but Mika's tone brightens considerably upon being complimented not once, but twice! On top of not doing a bad job, he's needed?! This was more than worth getting injured for!

...Or, well. He shouldn't be thinking that way, but a pleased little hum escapes him regardless.]

Ehehe! Thank ya kindly. I'm gonna keep my hands in tip top shape. [Hopefully.] Relaxin' is easier said than done, but I'mma give it another go and try makin' something you'll be proud of.

[Hopefully Shu can tell that the bit of shuffling and water splashing on Mika's end of the line means that he's getting up to actually tend to his finger, which he definitely wouldn't be doing if Shu hadn't mentioned it.]

Hmm? Are you comin' up with some new designs? Your judgment's way better than me, Teach!
