SUCH A CUTIE POOKIE

Pocky Panic pt 2!

This is a continuation of the “what if Yuu introduced the pocky game to NRC and it caught like wildfire” prompt from @the-fab-fox ! I took some of the pairings he suggested and wrote some of them! And snuck my own oc in too because :3 I can :3

Gay chicken and tooth rotting fluff ahead‼️

Pairings are: Trey x Vil, Riddle x Floyd (this one has a short drabble too!), Azul x Cater, Jade x Ruggie x Jamil, Leona x Silver, n2squad (aka Jamil x Leona x Vil, named and basically created by @mellosdrawings), Jade x Finn x Trey (Finn being @the-fab-fox’s oc, hope I did him justice!), and Wiro x Sebek (Wiro being my own silly little guy oc bebo)

This is all mostly off the top of my head and absolutely not beta read lol. I hope people enjoy!

Trey x Vil

-going back to the “vil wont participate because of the sugar content in Pocky” thing…we know Trey has baked healthier sweets for Vil before and by GOD does he have some extra motivation to do it now

-A giant variety all in Vil’s favorite flavors (which based on his favorite food of smoothies, is probably fruity flavors), and he bundles them up in a bag and puts a nutrition label on it and Trey you aren’t beating the mom friend allegations ever

-But yes this does indeed work and Vil has to try to keep cool and act like this very romantic act that’s tailored directly to him doesn’t make him want to giggle into a pillow like a teenage girl.

-That’s hard to do when he’s also like an inch from Trey’s face but. Well. It’s fine he’s fine

Riddle x Floyd pt 2 eelectric boogalo aka “Candi somehow convinces themselves to super ship FloRid after years of not really caring for the ship just by writing some fluff”

-Hm yeah I can say more on this topic. Because Riddle could literally collar Floyd and he would STILL be begging to play this with him

-I mean, it’s Goldfishie! Every reaction Riddle has is like Floyd’s favorite personal react channel. He needs to see how this would go

-But after being collared twice and almost getting hit by a flying cauldron once (thanks Deuce) he is completely lost for ideas

-He complains about this during a basketball club meeting…and maybe Ace is annoyed with Riddle for one reason or another, and he mentions the fact that rule #267 is that any new sweets that are to be presented at an unbirthday party must be thoroughly taste tested by the Queen first!

-And there’s a taste testing day coming up soon…

-Cut to Floyd baking up a STORM in the Mostro Lounge kitchen (which Azul is typically fine with, since he gets to add new things to the menu). Floyd gets the hang of making pocky pretty fast and bakes a bunch. And then maybe he breaks into Heartslaybul to plant the pocky in with the other sweets. And then also he hides in the room with the sweets overnight

-I mean he is an ambush predator so-

-And woagh! The plan works and now Riddle is shouting because Floyd jumpscared him when he went to inspect the pile of sweets

-oh my god I’m writing a snippet AGAIN? Man we’re only two ships in but the voices. The voices!!!

—————

Riddle instinctively tossed the first thing in his hands at the intruder-a frosted sugar cookie. Floyd caught it in his mouth with minimal effort.

“Mmh. Dish ish good stuff, Goldfishie~”

Riddle’s face moved on from pale shock into a pinkish red as he realized who he was dealing with. He should have expected this-who else would bury themselves in the Heartslaybul pantry like some sort of raccoon?!

“But not as good as your face right now~! Man, you really should get a portable mirror, you’re missing out on yourself.”

“This is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE! I know you like to cause chaos, Floyd, but this is a new level of ridiculousness! When I tell Azul that you’ve been snooping around the Heartslaybul pastry storage, he’ll-“

“Eh…why’dya think I’d care if you told ‘zul? Not like he’s my dad or somethin…”

Floyd stood up from where he had been hiding all night, his body making slightly unnatural clicking sounds as he stretched.

“Besides, don’tcha have a bunch of taste testin to do now? Why waste your time yelling at me?”

Riddle’s face was currently at tomato red, working its way up to beet-but he paused to think about what Floyd was saying. He scanned the pile of containers and counted at least fifteen new sweets to taste test…and he had a study session in an hour, and it absolutely wouldn’t do to be late-!

“…you’re right. For once. Now get out of here so I can get to work! You have ten seconds before I collar you and send you back to Azul with your tail between your-or-your legs between…uh…TEN, NINE, EIGHT-“

“Aw, come on!”

“-SEVEN, SIX, FIVE, FOUR-“

“I’m here to help youuuu…”

“-THREE, TWO-“

“You can’t follow your rules without my help!”

“-..? What are you talking about?”

“That rule you gotta follow says that you have to give a thorough examination of the sweets.”

Floyd approached Riddle, leaning down slightly to lift a container filled with the sweets that had been the bane of Riddle’s existence for the past week. He shook it slightly for emphasis.

“How did you know about that rule-no, that’s not important. There’s nothing about those dreadful fad sweets that I need your help with.”

“Oh yeah? You don’t think you gotta put it through a pocky game stress test? Seems pretty neglectful of you to ignore that…”

Riddle took a moment to run that absolutely insane logic through his head…and the conclusion he came to made him let out a small huff. He snatched the container out of Floyd’s hand, opened it, and took out a pocky, pointing it at the eel.

“Very well. Your logic is…somewhat sound. And I’m on a time crunch as is. So you get one. Game.”

Floyd’s eyes widened like a dog being shown a new treat. He grinned, his face now a mix of sinister satisfaction and childish glee.

“Yaaaay~! Ok, ok, Floydie’s going first!

He eagerly leaned down slightly and bit his end of the pocky. It was raspberry flavored, and sure enough it was delicious. The ball was now in Riddle’s court.

Riddle was glad he was in his dorm uniform, his heels gave him the hight to reach his end of the pocky.

It’s just some candy. Just a silly little game.

Riddle bit down, not looking at Floyd-who was keenly looking at Riddle’s face.

Floyd took a surprisingly small bite. They weren’t too close now…maybe this wouldn’t be so bad.

Riddle took a similarly small bite.

Then Floyd followed by halving the length of the treat-Riddle was so close that he could swear he had heard a second pair of teeth crunch down on it.

For once, his face was turning red for a different reason.

Floyd grinned, almost giggling like a child at the sight.

Two more bites later, and the pair were almost out of pocky. Riddle looked at the pocky, then at Floyd. That was a mistake-Floyd was still looking right at him! The eye contact startled him and kept his face matching the pink hue of the pocky in their mouths.

Riddle had never willingly been this close to Floyd, and any time he had gotten this close before, he would quickly blast Floyd away. But now that he was so close…

Had Floyd always looked at him so intensely?

If Riddle didn’t know better, he could almost see a look of admiration on Floyd’s face.

No, no. That’s silly. It’s just entertainment. Maybe…this could still work out in Riddle’s favor. Floyd was just a childish eel, after all, and the best way to handle him would be just giving him the funny experience he wanted so bad. Just a peck on the lips, and he would probably finally get bored and move on to pestering someone else.

Riddle bit down on the last section of pocky. If Floyd didn’t chicken out, which was unlikely, the next bite would be a collision. Their lips were so close, he was surprised they weren’t already touching. It almost felt like they were.

Floyd wasted almost no time once the ball was in his court. He snatched up the last bit of pocky, and kissed Riddle.

It was an awkward kiss, their lips adjusting from holding the candy to a proper peck on the lips. It didn’t help that both of their eyes were open. Despite the butterflies in his stomach (which he was willfully ignoring), Riddle hoped this would be over soon so that Floyd stopped looking at him with that dumb look on his face.

That stupid smile totally screamed “haha, I won!”, didn’t it?

And the way he was leaning forward was clearly to try and knock Riddle off of his balance since he was already feeling lightheaded-which was only because of the strange situation, of course!

And the look in Floyd’s eyes…

Was…

The look in Floyd’s eyes was one that Riddle hadn’t gotten a good glimpse of before. He had thought he had seen the look once or twice, but whenever he saw it, it swiftly disappeared. Now he finally had a chance to see that Floyd was looking at him with…

No, it couldn’t be. Floyd couldn’t be looking at him with adoration. That had to be wrong-this was just him playing a little game with his favorite toy! So he should look like he’s proud of himself, or he should have that dumb sweet face he makes when he’s just told a funny joke, or-

The kiss was over now. Floyd had ended it, to Riddle’s surprise.

But Floyd didn’t move far away. He just…kept looking at Riddle. Scanning his whole face with that same strange expression, as if Riddle’s face were a precious gemstone glittering and reflecting onto Floyd.

His eyes were fixed on Riddle.

Floyd was always calling Riddle “entertaining”. Riddle was accustomed to taking that as yet another insult from someone who viewed him as nothing more than a passing interest. He was entertaining in the same way a cheap toy was. That had to be it.

But Floyd wasn’t looking at him like a toy.

He was looking at him like the sun.

He wanted to see that look more.

He wanted to…do that more.

So he did.

This time Floyd’s expression had a hint of surprise on it-that quickly melted into elation as he wrapped an arm around Riddle to support the second kiss.

——————

HAHA WHOOPS THAT GOT OUT OF HAND UHHH NEXT COUPLE QUICK GO GO GO G

Azul x Cater

-See…these two are idiots

-They’re talking about the game all the time. After all, they both watch trends as a part of the their passions; Azul keeps the lounge updated with themed foods, Cater’s posts stay on trend.

-So of course Azul comes to Cater to talk about the new trend and scheme I MEAN…plan out some new business ventures

-And despite these two being all happy and cute and down bad for each other I firmly believe neither has the romantic confidence to ask the other to play the game with them

-So naturally Jade and Floyd see this happening while Cater and Azul talk in the lounge and their solution is to quietly shut down the lounge for the night, dim the lights, serve up the food Cater ordered and the pocky special…and lock all of the exit doors (Jade pickpocketed Azul’s master key)

-They send Azul a text letting him know he’s not leaving their romantic setup until he mer-mans up and plays with Cater

-Pucker up fish boy (Cater tries to play it cool when Azul asks to play with him especially because Azul is trying to sound suave and completely failing-Cater can tell when he’s nervous by now)

-Something something shalalala don’t be scared

Jade x Ruggie x Jamil

-And if I said that this instantly becomes a “who can spoil Ruggie the most” competition

-His tail WAGS. When you give him SWEETS

-This is an almost everyday thing for Jade and Jamil, trying to beat the other to the punch on playing the game with Ruggie

-One time Jade finds an excuse to be at the Savanaclaw dorm at the crack of dawn to gift Ruggie more pocky and play with him (Leona sees this and thinks it’s pathetic-)

-Meanwhile Jamil is using that hypothetical excess stock from Kalim’s overbuying to try and one up Jade on quantity

-Competitions like this are probably a form of flirting for Jade and Jamil. Which means eventually one of their play arguments ends when Ruggie lifts a pocky stick in between them

-They mellow out a little bit after that. Only a little though

Leona x Silver

-honestly these two kinda stumped me at first but then I locked in and opened my mind fr

-Neither of them seem very keen to follow trends, they seem like a couple that goes on casual dates and often naps together

-But I’m sure that Lillia keeps his son updated on trends, and Leona has head or it by association with seeing his underclassmen doing it

-So I think that perhaps on one of their sleepy dates, Silver jumps into Leona’s dream as may be the usual for them by now

-And perhaps the ever so cool Leona is actually having a dream about playing the pocky game with his darling. Little lovesick lion

-So of course Silver does a quick change with his dream self and enjoys the game with Leona in his dream

-It’s so enjoyable that he goes out to get some pocky for them to play with in real life, and he swears he heard some purring when he gave the box to Leona

————

Ok and now for some self indulgent ocs and also n2 squad aka: “man I hope I get these dynamics right”

————

N2Squad (Jamil x Leona x Vil)

-Ok what if I said that this happens during the early “Jamil is feeling a little awkward around the pre established LeoVil couple” period in the relationship

-Kalim won’t shut up about the trend and Jamil has half a mind to offer to do it with Leona and Vil but what if it turns awkward? Any good planner thinks of all of the possible outcomes and all Jamil can think of are the worst, most embarrassing situations possible

-So when trend setter (and trend watcher) Vil comes over to Jamil and Leona with the pocky Jamil is extremely relieved that he didn’t have to make that move. Touched, even. Not that he’d say it.

-However his little reaction, the small widening of eyes that Leona notices and the way he sat up straighter that Vil caught, gives him away. Vil and Leona watch Jamil just as closely as he watches them, Jamil’s just been so preoccupied with his own low self worth to realize it.

-Leona and Vil don’t let onto this though. They play the game as usual, although I imagine they all play in different ways

-Leona intends to end every round with a kiss. He will get a surprising amount of the pocky in his mouth in one bite just to surprise whoever is on the other end with a kiss

-Vil on the other hand does enjoy the feeling of being desired. So if he deliberately bites his end in a way so that every round ends in the other player having to make the move to kiss him…wow, what a coincidence! Leona and Jamil clock this like three rounds in. Jamil still goes for the kiss. Leona starts messing with Vil and trying to stick him with the last move instead and now they’re somehow competing. At the pocky game. Good job boys

-As for Jamil…I don’t want to say “uncharacteristically flustered” but what else do I call it? I mean can you blame him? His boyfriends are cute, and they’re playing a game about kissing each other for sevens sake

-He actively chickens out the first few rounds, although he tries to play it off

-Eventually he cools off enough to beat Leona to the punch and take a big enough bite for them to kiss. It’s hard to tell if Leona is more satisfied about the kiss or about being outplayed. He gets Jamil back right away of course

-And Vil refuses to make the move for a kiss until Leona insinuates that perhaps Vil is the truly flustered one in this scenario, which Vil objects to fervently.

-TLDR they go through quite a few boxes that night, and for what it’s worth, Jamil feels a bit better about his place in the relationship by the end. It’s a start, at least. (Jamil turn around Jamil your boyfriends have more pocky to play with Jamil they’re behind you jAMI-)

Jade x Finn x Trey

-I know I play around with if the characters are dating or not in each of these so to clarify, this is in the cringefail flirting/pining stage of the ot3. Man I hope I got this close to right 🙏

-As the trend spread, it probably hit all three dorms at the same time. Jade was helping Azul develop a new pocky menu, Trey was seeing Adeuce being not subtle in the Heartslaybul lounge, and Finn probably helped Jamil transport all the pocky Kalim bought to a cooler when he saw poor Jamil lugging box after box through the halls

-So it was only a matter of time until someone made a move and of course Jade was the first to think of this

-His plan was likely to offer to play the game during a lunchtime study session in the courtyard. Good atmosphere, it’s lunch so they’re already eating, and most importantly, it would be just the two of them. No green haired competition to get in the way

-Of course Jade couldn’t account for Trey having baked some pocky of his own for Finn to try. How in the hells did he even know where to find them anyway?

-So while Jade and Trey are proooobably lowkey making some passive aggressive (emphasis on the passive, knowing these two) remarks to each other, they’re too focused on that to notice poor Finn’s temporary blue screen

-Pocky game? With Jade AND Trey? Right now??? At the same time????????????

-and I think it would be very funny rom com love triangle shenanigans if the only way the two are able to settle this is by playing the game themselves-whoever chickens out goes second

-At some point during this discussion Finn manages to squeak out an “ok” to the situation

-Watching Trey and Jade play probably doesn’t do anything to help him calm down

-And for what it’s worth Trey and Jade are making wayyyyy too much eye contact to be normal. Calls coming from inside the house you two

-Surprisingly Jade is the one to back out first? It’s…weird. Uncharacteristic of him. But Trey goes first with strawberry pocky

-Finn is probably just as red as the pocky at this point and he’s so obviously flustered as they play…poor Fox probably has to loose the round once Trey gets within an inch of his face. It’s not that he doesn���t want to kiss Trey, I just imagine that he’s probs flustered out of his mind

-Which is why Jade lost on purpose-he wanted to go in for the weakened prey I MEAN UHHH he wanted to swoop in after Trey went

-He uses some lavender pocky he got from the lounge, and he makes small bites at first unlike Trey’s medium ones

-So Finn is actually able to hold his own for a bit, it’s not too overwhelming!

-until Jade goes for a MASSIVE bite in true eel style and ambushes Finn, getting mere centimeters away, close enough to just close the gap by shifting his face

-He grabs Finn by the chin, thumb under his lips…

-…and pushes the sliver of pocky into Finn’s mouth, ending the game

-He didn’t want to be too brash, after all. He’s playing the long game here. So he lets Finn win the round, and makes quite the impression of course

-Oh and if that isn’t the passing period bell! Time to go to class-and Jade has to go to a different one than Finn and Trey, so he’s off~!

-Trey may have been a touch outwitted but he does get to walk a flustered Finn to class, and he gets to leave his baked goods in Finn’s bag (he slipped them in before they started walking)

-Poor Finn probably looks like a ghost when he gets back to the dormitory-Kalim probably asks if he needs to see the nurse

Wiro x Sebek

-Ok this is self indulgent lol I couldn’t help myself. I did restrain myself from doing the entire freshman polycule, that is my version of restraint

-But assuming Wiro and Sebek are still stubbornly fighting over dorm pride…there’s honestly no way they don’t end up playing this game of gay chicken

-Every argument they have is a game of gay chicken anyways so uhhhh what’s the difference lmao

-They do this during some meeting after school, treating it like it’s a duel when they’re literally playing a kissing game

-They do keep chickening out of it an equal amount, because who would want to kiss their enemy??!! Duh!!!!

-Until they’re at Sebek 6 Wiro 5 and Wiro can’t afford to loose the round

-Octavinelle dignity is on the line!!!!! He’s gotta do something!

-But no matter how close he gets and how warm Sebek’s face gets, Sebek isn’t backing down to Wiro’s frustration

-But Wiro isn’t planning to back down either…even as they get closer, and closer…

-And eventually he moves in for what could be best described as a collision

-It’s not exactly the most romantic kiss but it certainly leaves the two stunned for a moment

-And then they agree that it’s a tie

-Guess they’ll just

-Have to have a rematch

-Of course. That’s only logical

-(If the music club sees Wiro suddenly writing love songs for the club, no they DONT)

[roseaesynstylae]

I like to think that Katakuri is close to his youngest siblings. Here’s some ideas.

Anglais: Looks up to Katakuri as the embodiment of coolness. He and his big brother ride their bug-bikes around Whole Cake Island when Katakuri has spare time. When his mouth is revealed, Anglais is initially really shocked and needs some time to adjust, but ultimately concludes that Katakuri’s willingness to expose it despite the risk of ridicule makes him even cooler.

Wafers: Katakuri has worked hard to ensure that she, at least, has some reason. She tends to hide behind him when she’s upset. When his mouth is revealed, she’s a little disgusted but doesn’t think it’s worth getting upset over and gets used to it with time.

Wiro: He’s a cheerful guy who does his best to make Katakuri laugh. So far, he hasn’t succeeded but he’s not going to give up. Katakuri appreciates his efforts. When his mouth is revealed, Wiro doesn’t even notice.

De-Chat: He’s very nice, easily one of the nicest in his family, and Katakuri wants him to stay that way. On De-Chat’s end, he’s one of the few who picked up that Katakuri is under an immense amount of stress. When Katakuri’s mouth is revealed, De-Chat isn’t even slightly fazed. In fact, he can sort of understand why Katakuri feels the way he does (De-Chat is half Fish-Man, taking after his father in looks. Given how Pudding was treated for her eye, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s dealt with bullying. The difference is, in my mind, that Katakuri learned from [and regretted] what happened with Pudding and took steps to make sure that didn’t happen again).

Normande: She likes to play with her older brother and, when Katakuri has the time, he does so. She often hides in his scarf. Katakuri tries hard not to think about what her conception must have been like, something everyone in the family does for the sake of their sanity. When his mouth is revealed, she doesn’t care at all.

Dolce and Dragee: Whenever they lose one of their balloons, Katakuri either gets them a new one or retrieves it for them. He tries to convince them to be more patient with Anana. When his mouth is revealed, they’re freaked out but calm down when they realize he’s still the same person.

Anana: Katakuri worries about her a lot. He wants his younger siblings to live happy lives and she’s clearly not happy. He tries to persuade her to take her violent urges out on pillows and such. She brightens up when she’s with him. When his mouth is revealed, she’s a little too fascinated by it. She asks all kinds of weird questions about it and likes to touch his teeth.

NEW EPISODE JUST DROPPED, AND THE QUEEN IS FINALLY HERE!!

She’s actually quite a bitch atm, and despises blitz with a passion, but that’s kinda to be expected with whatever happened in the past, maybe she has the same reasons as to why fizzarolli hates him as well? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Also this scene is really hilarious

They are like cats fr XD

((Starter for @bitterseadrop -tried my best lol

One of the nice things about working front desk at the Mostro Lounge was getting to know the spots that tended to be the most quiet. Wiro had a couple of favorites, but right now he was sitting in the left corner booth, the one at the very end of the large aquarium wall, and he was taking up as little space as he could.

He knew Milou had wanted to see them, but they still didn’t understand why exactly. They didn’t think they had anything of value for the third year, and “having something someone wants” tended to be the default reason for anyone in Octavinelle talking to one another. It certainly didn’t help their nerves to know they were totally busted when it came to their “secret” blog.

Wiro had wanted to make sure they weren’t too late, but they were realizing now that they might have come too early instead. Sighing, he opened up his phone and started scrolling through online gaming forums to pass the time.

Wiro Scribe: NRC Music Fest Costume Vignette-“For the Club!”

This is a “vignette” story for @twstinginthewind’s NRC Pop Music Fest event!

AUGH ok so this is technically submitted about one hour after midnight but here it is! Below the cut is a fic designed to be the “vignette” that a ssr Wiro card would have for this event. Uh this thing was NOT proofread we die like pop music club members

Oh and a quick note on Wiro

-Octavinelle freshman who wished he was put in Ignihyde at first, he’s pretty good with computers and octrio terrified him

-Nervous little guy who is trying to learn to be cunning (while also not being mean about it)

-Member of the pop music club. He doesn’t sing, but he can write music, and he’s been trying to make songs that the three other members could enjoy playing together.

Pt 1

————

“I officially call-“

“Ooh, ooh! Use ‘declare.’ That sounds more official.”

“Ok…I officially ‘declare’ our second Pop Music Club meeting for the NRC Music Fest open!”

Kalim clapped loudly, with Lilia whistling in approval. From behind the pair, a short student clapped quietly in his bean bag chair. Lilia swiveled himself around on his stool to face the guppy.

“Oh come now, Wiro. You have to show some enthusiasm too! Give me your best war cry!”

“I-I don’t think I really have o-“

“WAR CRY!!!”

“UHHH YAY NRC MUSIC FESTIVAL!”

Wiro’s pale face went slightly red, a combination of embarrassment and exertion from shouting so loud. Lillia smiled and nodded in approval.

“Very good, Wiro! That’s a proper club battle cry. Now we can truly start the meeting.”

Cater tapped on his phone to open the next slide of his brightly colored presentation. It read “RECRUITMENT!!!🤩🎉🎶” in a bold font.

“We can’t host this festival on our own! The whole point of this is to drum up interest in the club, so I think we should each get out there and find other people to perform with to fill out more of the event time. So…we should divide and conquer!”

Wiro grimaced slightly.

“Isn’t dividing kinda…your thing, Cater? Do we all have to go it alone for this, or…?”

“Aw, what’s wrong, Wiro? I thought you of all people would appreciate my strategy here.”

Kalim took a moment to study Wiro’s face, social gears turning in his head.

“Oh! Awwwe…Wiro, are you nervous?”

The pink tint on the freshman’s face made it clear that Kalim was right on the money.

“How adorable~! Come Wiro, let me squish your face-“

“Noooooo-“

Lilia made a quick lunge for Wiro, but he managed to dodge it by sinking further into his beanbag.

“Is that really it, Wiro? You’re nervous to recruit for the club on your own?”

“It’s not much of a surprise, is it?” Lilia spoke from the corner he had crash landed into, seeming somewhat content to stay in his upside down position. “Poor little Wiwi was so shy when he first came to us~”

“Was?”

“Shh, Cater. Be nice to your underclassmen.”

Kalim took a sip of the energy drink he always had on hand for club meetings before speaking.

"It's true that you're…sorta the least extroverted out of the four of us. I mean, when we first met you you were hiding under the club keyb-"

"AGH-You uh. You don't need to remind me. I was, I was there."

Cater sighed as he tapped to the next slide.

"I know that this might be a harder task for some of us than others, but it's gotta be done. No new recruits, no festival. And no festival…means no more music club next year."

Wiro sat up a bit, fiddling with his tie.

"I know that too. And…I think I can do it. I owe it to you guys to at least try, right?"

Kalim let out a loud whoop and raised his fist in the air.

"That’s the spirit! Think of it like…arranging a song, Wiro! But the notes are people, and the lyrics are also people! And the song is people, and-“

“Oooookay. We’re getting off topic and we still have a lot more to get through. Also, Lillia, you’re getting pale-er.”

Lillia flipped himself upright.

“So professional today! Go on, fearless leader, we await your commands~”

Wiro relaxed back into his bean bag, pulling up a digital note on his tablet to start working on a plan. He was the Octavinelle rep for this club, after all. If he couldn’t come up with something good for the event and it flopped, chances are he’d never hear the end of the teasing from his fellow underclassmen. Not to mention…well, it wasn’t any use to dwell on his feelings when there was so much work to be done.

Pt 2

As always, the Film Club was hard at work. Their current project was set to film in two weeks, and they had also agreed to help broadcast the NRC Music Fest in exchange for a chance to perform a musical number during the event, but they were still working diligently on their own projects. As to be expected of a club run by Vil, of course. The Housewarden was watching his club mates run lines when he noticed the door to the auditorium quietly open, letting a sliver of light into the room.

“Mm…alright everyone. Take a break, drink some water, we’re back in five.

A chorus of “Thank you five!” echoed through the auditorium.

“And Wiro?”

Wiro jolted a bit at being instantly noticed by Vil’s keen eyes.

“You may come up on stage and speak to me. But you also are limited to our five minutes-we’re on a very tight schedule here.”

Wiro briskly nodded and made his way onto the stage, standing in front of Vil, who was currently sat in a directors chair.

“I’m assuming this is about the Music Festival?”

“Mhm-I wanted to ask Ortho if he would be willing to sing a solo for one of the main stage performances?”

“Ortho? Sing? I know that Idia gave him those capabilities…but they aren’t exactly angelic vocal cords, Wiro. If you’d like, I could offer some additional students to round out the performance-“

“Nope! Thanks for The offer but really, I want Ortho for this. It certainly beats the alternative…”

“What was that you just mumbled? You need to project, Wiro.”

“Ahha uh it’s nothing sorry thank you bye bye now-“

Wiro blurted out his goodbyes and walked as fast as his little legs could carry him.

——

The day before the Music Fest was set to be held, the cast and crew had gathered for a proper tech rehearsal. This was at Vil’s insistence, as he was absolutely flabbergasted when Kalim had mentioned their lack of plans to rehearse beforehand.

As Wiro made his way to the lighting booth to make sure the crew was set up, he saw Ortho heading his way.

“Oh, Ortho! Thanks again for helping me out with the performance, did you get the files I sent you?”

“I…did, yes. But how did you know exactly how to make something that would run with my voicebank software? You kinda freaked Idia out when I showed him the song.”

“You, you showed Idia my-uh…I mean…well, I just kinda assumed that he built yours off of the same engine as Hatsune Miku. And I was right, right?”

“You were…I wasn’t aware that there was another vocaloid fan in the school. You should talk to my brother, Wiro!”

“What?! No way. He’s too cool for me to talk too…”

Despite having a high tech processor, it took Ortho a moment to truly process that.

“…you may be the only other person in this school that shares my opinion, Wiro. But still, I’m excited to have a solo tomorrow, so thank you for this!”

“A…solo?”

Crowley appeared behind the duo the same way he always appeared: out of absolutely nowhere. Wiro practically jumped out of his skin, while Ortho simply waved.

“Hello Headmage! Is there a problem?”

“I’m afraid there is, Ortho. You see, this festival has been advertised as live performances-and while you are indeed alive, we may draw some criticism from the crowd for having an act that lacks any live singing.”

“What?! But Headmage, they just don’t get the magic of voice bank software! I could-“

“Nope! The decision has been made, Wiro. It’s for the good of the festival! However, as I am ever so generous, Ortho can perform if you make it a duet.”

Wiro wanted to protest more, but it was impossible to get a word out. The shock that caused his temporary outburst had quickly worn off.

Ortho looked at Wiro sympathetically as Crowley walked off to attend other matters.

“Hey, it’s ok, maybe we can find someone else to learn the song in one day?”

“….no way am I letting this get messed up because of a technicality. There’s only one other person who could perform the song with you on such short notice…!”

Without warning, Wiro ran off towards the dorm portals.

“Tell Vil that I’ll be back in an hour!”

“But Wiro, he said attendance is mandatory-“

“An hour, Ortho! I need to set something up! He’ll live!”

Ortho sighed as he watched Wiro run off.

“Whatever he’s planning…he’s clearly fired up.”

Pt 3

“Next act is on in five minutes! Ortho and…”other”, get by your entrance!”

Lilia’s voice echoed through each backstage worker’s headsets, including Cater’s. He turned to look at Ortho, who was already at his spot in the wings.

“Ortho, do you know where your other singer is? And where’s Wiro, did he just disappear?”

“Wiro said he had to go do get the singer, and that he’d be back in five minutes.”

“When did he say that?!”

“Fifteen minutes and twenty eight seconds ago. Twenty nine seconds ago. Thirty seconds-“

Cater covered his face with his hands and exhaled before quickly collecting himself.

“That’s…not ideal, ngl. He just dipped? In the middle of the show?”

“It was for a good reason, Cater.”

A deep baritone voice came from behind them. But when Cater turned around, all he saw was Wiro looking up at him.

“Wiro! Jeez, you really know how to scare a guy. But who just spoke to me?”

“That…was me.”

Sure enough, the low voice was coming out of little Wiwi’s mouth. The difference between the voice and the body was somewhat uncanny.

“Wiro!? What the-why-no, first, what is that voice? Second, why do you have it? Third, what is that voice!?”

“Well…I got this voice from Azul. Because I don’t have a good singing voice…but Ortho needs someone to sing this duet with him.”

“Wait…don’t tell me you-?!”

“Yep. I made a deal with Azul for it.”

Cater had to take a deep breath after that one.

“Wiro. Are you insane.”

“Nope! All things considered it went pretty well. I just offered up a chance for them to sell their Mostro Lounge drinks directly to the guests today in exchange for a voice Azul has as collateral from some other deal. And he agreed!”

“Wait, Mostro Lounge is doing the drinks for us? Since when!?”

“Since yesterday.”

“Who-how did you get it together so fast?”

“Kalim just kinda signs anything you hand him. And it shouldn’t be a shock that Housewarden Ashengrotto managed to get together extra workers and drink stock in eighteen hours. He’s pulled off crazier feats before. And of course I offered to help run food back and forth from Sam’s shop and prep it.”

“What the…did you even sleep last night?”

“A little bit.”

Ortho scanned Wiro’s face.

“Readings show about four hours of sleep total, as well as heightened anxiety levels.”

Wiro’s face flushed a bit.

“Ok, so it wasn’t exactly easy. But…I wasn’t going to just sit by and not contribute anything to this festival. This club…means a lot to me. It was one of the first places where I learned what it meant to just…hang out with people who like me. So…uh…I wanted to help.”

Wiro’s still uncharacteristically deep voice got quieter as he spoke.

“I’d do anything for this club. Really.”

Ortho and Cater were silent for a moment, but were interrupted by Lilia’s loud shouts into the comms system. The fae shouted like he was running an army or something.

“Ortho, Wiro, you’re on in one! Also, Wiwo, you little softie you~ Young bonds of friendship are so adorable~!”

“I know, right?! I didn’t realize that was what you had me sign yesterday, but I’m glad it worked out for everyone, lil’ buddy!”

Cater tapped his microphone to check it while Wiro grew even more embarrassed.

“Did Kalim and Lilia hear all of that too?”

“Yeah we did! I feel the same way you do Wiro! Pop music club forev-“

Vil’s voice could be heard through what had previously been Kalim’s feed.

“Focus in, the four of you. Don’t make me remove your mic privileges. Wiro, Ortho, you’re on in thirty seconds.”

Wiro adjusted his outfit, a trendy casual fit with tons of kandi bracelets on it.

“Do I look ok?”

Cater ruffled his hair a bit, pushing a stray curl back for him.

“You’re gonna do great.”

“I sure hope so. Oh, and btdubbs Cater, please let me know what our attendance numbers look like because I may or may not have put up a week of me being anemone-ed as collateral for Azul if we don’t hit a certain attendance threshold-“

“Wait-wait what-?!”

But Wiro was already walking out on stage with Ortho for their performance.

Cater sighed, shaking his head.

“That kid…”

“Oh, don’t fret over it Cater. He’ll survive either way. I’m just surprised that he has the courage to go on stage like this. I couldn’t even imagine him doing this when we first met him. Clearly we’re having an influence on him. Or at least you are. He did just say “btdubbs”…”

Cater couldn’t help but laugh a bit as he watched the pair start their duet.

“Yeah, I guess you’re right. Maybe this club is more helpful than we give it credit for.”

“Mm. Maybe~”

AUGH OK ITS DONE YAYYYY

For the record the groovy would totally be of Wiro and Ortho jamming out on stage in some costumes-I feel like a pop fest gear for Ortho could look so cool like. Stick some stickers and decals on him and change his flames to a neon green or something

Oh and I imagine the song they’d sing would be “Why Do I (With Hatsune Miku)” by Set It Off, although I’m sure the version Wiro wrote was school appropriate

This event was super cool and fun to write about! And it was an excuse to yap abt Ortho canonically having the ability to sing like Hatsune Miku so ‼️🎉

I also had to go and change ALL THE WORDING because I original wrote this as Pop Music Club Fest and not NRC Music Fest. But we survive baby
