She may have been sweating a little, but perhaps that was from the heat of the day. After all, it was hot this time of summer. She had only practiced a little of her solo for the upcoming concert. It was still a while off, but that didn't mean she could procrastinate it. Only once did she put off practicing, and regretted it when a mistake was made in front of thousands. The memory still made her cringe. The short blonde placed her water bottle by her side and stood again. She wore a black tank top, a grey cropped shirt, and pink shorts as a spin-off of her usual outfit. She chuckled, thinking it was just a little clever, but then again no one would probably notice and think she was mis-matched. Again. IA frowned. She was sure she heard others talking about how they would come practice today as well. She would be lying if she said she wanted to be alone here. She had a few duets this concert, which she was overly excited about, and she wished they were here with her. Fixing her top quickly, she hurried back in front of the mirror to practice that one move she always glitched at. Being just a year old now, IA was still a tad glitchy in her programming, leading her to need more practice than the older ones. Sure, she had new hardware, but new things always have new problems. Over the past year, she was lucky enough to be able to get help and advice from some of the older vocaloids, yet somehow she had trouble applying it today. She shook her head and tried the move again. And again. And again. A jump-spin followed by by quick feet and flowing arms. Something was just wrong about this. The girl frowned and looked down at her small feet. Maybe another break was needed. She headed back over to her water bottle and sat down. This was harder than she remembered.

Aoki Lapis flew towards the practice area. She wanted to practice singing and see if she was ready for a concert yet. However, once she got there, she was quite exhausted from flying so far after she just ate. Come to think of it, she had lots of sugar before she came. No wonder she was so tired. She sat on one of the mirrors for a bit, watching the platinum blonde-haired Vocaloid known as IA practice for a concert that was coming up. After watching her for a while, she noticed that IA was struggling with a move she would do during her performance. Afterwards, she sat down.
Lapis flew over to where she was sitting and spoke, a bit softy. "Uh... um..." she started, "s-sorry if I'm interrupting, but... wouldn't it be easier if you jumped and spun around once you landed?" It was a dumb idea, she knew, but Lapis wanted to talk to someone just then, and that was the only thing she could think to say. Oh, well.

She curiously turned her head and saw tiny Aoki Lapis flying around her. She peaked a smile, happy to see the fairy Vocaloid! She jumped a little though, not expecting to see her. How long had she been there anyway? IA wondered if she saw her futile attempts at the dance move. The next words from the little Vocaloid answered the question. IA turned a little red. "O-oh! I...I guess that might work," she tilted her head at Aoki. She didn't think about trying it that way, since the choreography simply said "jump-spin". With an eager face the girl jumped up and went in front of the mirrors again. She did what she did before, imagined the music in her head and started, moving her feet and getting ready for the move. When it came, she did the jump, landed, spun around, then nailed the foot movements afterwards. She smiled wide and tried again. Perfect the second time too. She ran to Aoki who was floating about. "You're a genius!" she exclaimed with a sweet smile and closed eyes. IA then took one finger and patted Aoki's tiny head. "Thank you so much!!" She felt a tad silly for not thinking of that herself, and who knows how long she would have been attempting that is Aoki had not come along. She shook her head. At least it had not come to that. The blonde looked back to the purple/blue haired girl. "Hmm, are you here to practice for the concert as well?" she asked.

Aoki Lapis watched as IA went back over to the mirrors and practiced some more, this time following her advice for the part where she jumped and spun around. Lapis was delighted when she saw that it worked for her. She was really happy since she was able to help out another Vocaloid. She smiled a bit when IA came back and thanked her. IA is a really nice Vocaloid! she thought to herself.
IA asked Lapis if she was practicing for the concert too. She thought about what to say next for a few seconds, and finally replied, "Well... actually... I don't know if I'll be able to be in another concert yet... It's always so scary, and..."
Lapis really wasn't sure if she wanted to be in another concert. She'd been in two before, and she was always scared that she'd mess up a move or run out of energy and shrink back down to her normal size in front of all these fans who would determine her success. However, she needed to go to concerts to make money, or Master would do something to her. Something absolutely terrible! She shuddered at the thought of Master, demanding more money from her as she became more popular.
"Anyways, what songs will you be singing?" Lapis asked IA. She rarely ever heard one of IA's songs, so she was kind of curious as to what they sounded like.

She wanted to get a feel of her songs before her first concert in Japan. She may be bilingual, but what kind of first impression would a slip up or mispronunciation be? She was embarrassed just at the thought of such a thing. The Vocaloid shook her head. No, she wasn't going to let that happen. She planned to practice until the moves and words became second nature to her just like her Chinese songs. Tianyi stood in the doorway of the practice space. She gazed at the mirrors covering the walls, then to occupants of the room. At first she only spotted the blonde in the room, but then realized she wasn't talking to herself. There was a small Vocaloid along with her. Tianyi didn't recognize them, but then again she had just barely moved in. So she had yet to meet them all. She was eager to meet them, and equally eager to get practicing. But she didn't want to interrupt they're practice. "E-excuse me..." Her quiet voice called into the room. She meant to step into the doorway to make herself more visible for the others, but it turned into a stumble. Her cheeks went red. What a wonderful first impression she was making for the others. Tianyi straightened up. "Is it alright if I practice too?" She fidgeted with her hands some, waiting to get shot down. [/style]

IA said sympathetically. She was always nervous herself, but the thought of not participating was even scarier! Besides, the fans were always so happy to see them. Perhaps, IA thought, Aoki was drawn away by the idea of Master taking more money from them. She pouted her lips. She didn't blame the small Vocaloid, he was cruel and terrifying. Its hard to overcome the fear of him. She's been having trouble since she herself arrived. "O-oh! I was thinking Imagination Forest to start, and perhaps a duet next... then this dance is for GravityReality!" she smiled as she explained to Aoki. "I think you should join me for the duet Aoki! I don't have anyone yet..." she offered, tilting her head and swaying all of her long blonde hair. Before she got a response, another voice was heard across the practice hall. She turned to see the long grey hair and blue outfit of Luo Tianyi. IA blinked a few times, having this been the first time meeting the new Vocaloid. She was quite beautiful, and all she knew about her was that she could speak two languages. IA wished her programming had been as advanced, but alas she was only japanese. "Sure!" the blonde chirped, "Are you practicing for the upcoming concert as well?"

Aoki Lapis listened as IA listed the titles of the songs she would be singing. Their names sounded really cool, and Lapis couldn't wait to hear her sing them in the concert. After that, she heard IA offer to do a duet with her. Lapis was always kind of indecisive, and she wasn't sure if she should accept IA's offer or not. It would be fun to sing with another Vocaloid, but what if she messed up and IA's performance was ruined because of it? And she still wasn't sure if she even wanted to do the concert in the first place... then again, it'd be rude to reject IA's offer.
"Okay, I'll do a duet with you. What song should we do?" Lapis finally said after thinking about it for a moment. If she practiced enough, then she hopefully wouldn't mess up. Also, there were still so many songs that she wanted to sing, so singing in a concert would be fun even if it did seem a bit scary.
Right when she said this, a new Vocaloid appeared. She had long dark grey hair and seemed kind of shy. Lapis wondered who this new Vocaloid was. Being a Vocaloid who normally stayed alone, Lapis didn't talk to the others very much, so she didn't know who most of the Vocaloids were. I bet her name is really pretty... she thought. Lapis found it a bit odd that this new Vocaloid was asking if she could practice too. After all, there was a lot of space on the stage, and no one was at the mirrors... Well, that didn't matter much anyways.

"Thank you!" She entered happily, and stood by the other two. "Yes, this will be my first concert in Japan, so I'm determined to get it right." As she spoke she made a fist and cheerfully punched at the air. Her emerald eyes began to have more of an auburn hue from utter ambition. She had a few songs in mind that she planned to practice. A couple were just some songs translated to Japanese, and the others were covers that she'd love to preform. "Oh, I'm Luo Tianyi by the way." She politely bowed to them, her hair flopping into her face as she stood back up straight. She wanted to get to introductions. After all, it's nice to know who one is practicing with. She had an idea of who the two others were, having listened to the Japanese Vocaloids' music before. Tianyi assumed the blonde was IA or some such name. There may be many blonde Vocaloids, but Tianyi made this assumption by the almost pink tint in her hair. The other Tianyi was less familiar with. Merli and Aoki were two names that came to mind when she thought of a Vocaloid of such small stature. She wasn't sure which the little blue haired one was. [/style]

Her nerves were near the edge, but she was lucky there was no mess ups! But she had to admit she worked herself to the bone for that concert. "Oh! In Japan though, you've had concerts in China before, right? At least I think it's China... Maybe it's not..." At this point IA was nearly rambling to herself. She put a finger to her lip and looked at the floor as she thought. She didn't want to be wrong, but she wasn't exactly sure if she was right either. "Oh well," she smiled and looked at Tianyi, "You'll be great! Take as much practice space as you need!" She looked back over to Aoki now. She couldn't imagine her taking up too much practice space, unless she grew to normal size. IA tilted her head. She hadn't seen that before, but would love to someday. "Hmm a song..." IA pondered. Most of the popular songs were already claimed by the older Vocaloids, so what could they do together? There was only one duet song she really knew off the top of her head. "What about Promise?" she asked. The lyrics were catchy, it was upbeat, a nice duet song and not too hard to remember the lyrics. She just didnt know the dance too well. She looked towards the blue-haired girl, wondering if she knew the song or was open to learning it. [The video, if you watch it, is kind of strange. The voices aren't right and the dancing is choppy xD But I liked the sound better than any other vocaloids voices. :X] [style=color: #F08384; text-align: center; letter-spacing: 1px; background-color: #121212; padding: 2px;]TAGGING: AOKI, TIANYI | WORDS: 246 | NOTES: :3[/style][/style]

Lapis looked at the two Vocaloids. Luo Tianyi had just introduced herself, so Lapis said, "Hello Luo-san, and I'm Aoki Lapis." Lapis thought her introduction sounded weird and was suddenly really embarrassed that the first thing she had said to this new Vocaloid sounded so odd. Hopefully, Tianyi wouldn't notice... Lapis squeezed both her eyes shut and kept them that way until IA said something to her. ...Oh, so they were singing Promise? Lapis had only heard that song once before, so she turned to IA and said, "Okay, sure! I'll just look that song up and come back... and then we can start practicing!" She turned her head, closed her eyes, and smiled. This concert was probably going to be really fun!
Lapis couldn't believe she was meeting not one but TWO Vocaloids in one day. That hadn't happened before, besides the time she first arrived at the mansion. A few of the Vocaloids came up to her and asked her questions, but there were some other new Vocaloids in the mansion at that time, so she was able to fly away from all the commotion without really being noticed. Now she was really able to get to know two of the other new Vocaloids, which was pretty cool, but she knew she'd be super tired when the day was over. She got ready to fly back to the mansion, where she would look up the song. After all, she did need to be familiar with what she was singing.

China. I lived there for about a year now." She assured IA that her assumption was correct. It was always good to know you got it right, and Tianyi was never one to leave someone guessing. She turned over to the blue haired one, now confirmed to be Aoki Lapis. "Nice to meet you, Aoki-jie~!" She replied to her with a cheerful smile. She hoped the Chinese honorifics wouldn't cause confusion. If they did, she could also try to get used to the Japanese honorifics instead. It'd take a while, but she was fine with that. Tianyi gave a sigh to let everything in, meeting the other two, starting practice for her first japanese concert. It was a good day for her. "Well, I should get to practicing." With that she bounced off into an empty spot of the practice room, which had a lot. She reached for an iPod she had clipped to her belt, and placing the earbuds in her ears she hit play. Music filled her brain as the only thing she could hear. Tianyi moved with the music, not worrying about if the others watched or not, she became absorbed in her music. Step, step, spin, kick. It was a song she sang before in Chinese, she planned to sing it again in Japanese, as long as she could get pronunciation right. [/style]
