video ☾ un: 14th Moon

[The video opens to Jyushi in his chair with a few candles surrounding him. The lights are dimmed for extra aesthetic. If he could, he would have a much better set-up but he only got here last month so some things must be sacrificed. Yet with his make-up, very overdramatic, he thinks that makes up for the lacking background!

He sits shoulders squared, brushing his bangs past as he begins speaking with the most over the top speech.]

Hello, fellow faerie world subjects!

It is I, Aimono Jyushi, warrior of romance and chaos! The knight of revolution! I request your audience here today so I may share my gifts and in return, hopefully, have you share yours! My calling in this world, all worlds, my true purpose is music! Back in my rightful birthplace, my brethren and I had an alliance! For our voices and hearts to be heard! Visual kei...! My life's genuine reason for living!

Here, the music within my soul will not be silent! My heart urges for my song to be heard! For those who have the same calling, it would make me happy if we came together! While I was the vocalist of my band, I am able to play the guitar as well. And though my life is visual kei, my soul is swayed by all musical types.

I would like it very much if all of us could come together, to let ourselves be free and true, while we sing out to the people and break through the muddle of everyday life! Please, answer to me if this piques your interest!

Merci.

[Translation: He likes music, visual kei, and wants to keep playing music here but he does not have to play just visual kei. He likes all types of music. Also he's a singer but he can also play guitar so he does not have to be JUST the vocalist! He's adaptable...kind of.

The video closes but then it opens back up:]

Also, I am looking for employment! Of all types! There is not a job that is too beneath me...! Adieu!

[He'll literally work anything. Anything at all. He may be...this but he'll wash some dishes if it's going to fund his music!!]

( this post! the drama! the set up! it's so theatrical that Izumi is practically transported to the stage just watching him. )

... Are you interested in theatre? ( oh boy... )

[plenilunium]

[He never has before but something about hearing the word theatre just makes him so excited.]

Do you mean the stage?! I have only ever played on the stage of life! But I cannot deny that you have intrigued me...

[currysseur]

( because theatre is amazing!!! )

You have a... ( quick, what's the word for you're a fucking nutjob ) certain flair that would stand out on stage. I think you should try auditioning for some of the companies around here.

( and maybe hers, one day. when it exists. )

[plenilunium]

Flair!

[He likes it!]

I see what you mean! I am suited for something such as this. The theater is similar to the musical stage, isn't it? You bear your soul to the people...! And oh! I could do musicals! The opera!

[She has expanded his world here.]

[currysseur]

( is he a Lot? sure. she could tell that from the first post. is that kind of energy and passion a really great fit for the stage? yes. it's why people like Homare, Citron and Kazunari were such good finds for Mankai. she'd hire him herself if she hadn't just got here. )

That's right. The audience falls for actors who are honest and passionate on stage.

( and, more shallowly, those who are Pretty. )

[plenilunium]

Honest and passionate!

[She is selling this more and more to him. He wants to be honest and passionate! Which he is but he wants to be even more passionate and honest.]

I admit I do not know the first steps to go on this journey. What should I do?

[currysseur]

( okay, and this is where Izumi "hired a guy she found sleeping in front of the Mankai dorm" Tachibana's advice may not be, shall we say, useful. )

Why not just dive right in? Look for a theatre that's holding auditions and try it out.

( directors are trained to pick out latent talent, right? )

[plenilunium]

[That's so much to do at once.

But it's the same for music. You have to put yourself out there!]

Throw yourself into the whirlpool of action! You are absolutely correct. Isn't that how you should do it? It's like life itself!

[currysseur]

Exactly! ( that's how it went for her becoming a director, anyway. ) Taking risks pays off in the theatre!

( well. usually. )

[plenilunium]

Then we must be the iron generation of Zeus!

[Why does he know random things about Greek poetry? Who knows. But maybe it'll look impressive on the stage.]

I have been looking into new ventures, trying to open myself up more...so thank you!

[currysseur]

You're welcome! ( oh, and; ) If you need any rehearsal exercises, I have lots of them!

( directors gonna direct. )

[plenilunium]

Hmm, it seems I have been very lucky indeed. I have found myself a true master!

[currysseur]

I don't know about master...

( how accept compliment? what do??? )

I'm just a... ( oh. she supposes she can't say that any more. ) I mean, I was a director back home.

( nope. she doesn't like that. not one bit. )

[plenilunium]

Then a master! You know very much about the stage if you're a director!

[Take the compliment, Izumi.]

[currysseur]

( ... welp. )

I guess you could say I know a lot of tricks!

[plenilunium]

A magician of the stage, then! Not to be confused with a stage magician!

[currysseur]

No, but wouldn't one be a great lead character?!

( two characters no braincells. )

[plenilunium]

[He dramatically gasps.]

You're right! The stage magician, the people they see, the magic within them that people doubt...!

[Sounds like a great song honestly.]

[currysseur]

( she's so devastated she isn't the scriptwriter right now, but if Tsuzuru ever turns up, she knows what she's suggesting. )

He helps himself by helping others, reviving the public's interest in stage magic.

( g e n i u s )

[plenilunium]

A town that doesn't believe in magic and he, the pure-hearted magician that makes them believe once again...!

[Who knew they could inspire each other like this?]

[currysseur]

( please calm down you idiots )

The stage would have to be dramatic and glamorous!

[plenilunium]

What if there were actual illusionists on the stage...?! Oh ho, enlightening the crowds...

[currysseur]

That could work...!

( Homare-san vibes aside (maybe not even that much, even Homare-san can have good ideas), she's loving this and definitely making notes for what to do if they ever do this play. )

[plenilunium]

A real illusionist, making the crowd wonder if they are in a mirage or an oasis?!

[Wait, now he's thinking...]

A desert theme?!

[currysseur]

( that... )

You know, we did a play based on 1001 Nights. An illusionist would work well there.

( Water Me! redux one day, maybe? )
