Photo/Video. Upholding a proud tradition.

[twinkletwinklesuperstar]

[It’s a proud tradition afterall, the silly accidental first network post. This one comes with a photo though, of a rather famous face sitting at a table in a restaurant, smiling toward a camera.

It’s followed a few minutes later by a video post, revealing the girl herself.]

Oh, shoot, that was supposed to on my Instagram, not here. Oh, well, I guess the cat’s out of the bag now.

Hi, everybody, Kirara Hoshimoto here! I don’t really know what brought all this on, but it looks like I’m part of the group now. I guess we can call that picture a special gift just for this network, so if anybody wants an autographed version just let me know and I’ll send one right over, okay?

[She flashes the screen a big smile, winks and holds her hand up in the “V” sign.]

I’ll see you all around. Bye!


[OOC: If anybody wants to consider any test drive meme threads as canon, I'm down for that. Just let me know somewhere so I can roll with it!]

[Yes, please do, Lily. She's very proud of her work and more importantly she even thinks it's a pretty good movie all things considered!]

That's how it usually goes, yeah....

[At Lily's second comment her grin returns full force.]

Not for me. I love it.

[Lily frowns a little, not really understanding, because...]

Don't you miss your privacy, sometimes?

[Nope. Apparently there is a definite failure to communicate here, judging by the way she tilts her head questioningly.]

What do you mean?

People following you. Pointing fingers at you, never giving you a moment's rest if you're out in public--

[She sighs, shaking her head a bit.]

No, it's not exactly the same, I guess.

[After all, Kirara's a movie star! She's famous! Everyone loves her! And no one knows she's Numbered.

Lily, even with as much good press as she's been trying to garner, is - to some people, to the 24 hour news cycle - a pariah or "talking point." Some saw them as heroes, sure, but... To say that's the widely held opinion everywhere would be a joke.

She forces a smile, now.]

Sorry, don't mind me.

Hmm...

[That's true. It's probably a pretty different situation between the two of them. People paying attention to Kirara these days are typically fans, eager to meet her for an autograph or a picture. Lily... probably has a different problem.]

Okay, I guess I can see where you're coming from, but you can get around that, you just need to be a little creative. You'd be surprised how many people would look right past you with a change in hairstyle and clothing.

[Except... hmm.]

Although... that might be a little tougher with that hair. Is that real?

[Lily is about to say one thing, when that last question hits her and she looks a little... She's not sure if she should be offended or not!]

I-, uh. Yes, it's real!

[Whoops, maybe a little defensive.]

I mean to say, it came with a pulse, so... It's natural. Now, anyway.

[But what's wrong with her hair style?]

[Whoops. Did she accidentally hit another sore spot again? Oh, well, no backing down now.]

Hmm... well, the color does kind of suit you. It's just that purple hair would be kind of tough to cover up, even if you did change up your hairstyle.

[Hmm... she gives Lily a thoughtful, appraising look.]

Maybe you could wear a hat over it....

[Lily frowns deeply.]

I've done that before [with sunglasses!] and it works sometimes, just... it's hardly foolproof.
