LLAS Ch38

We're having a dream where we made the perfect PV. We wake up late and have to have Ayumu wake us. Apparently everyone already knows MC is sus because we didn't go monkey over the PV the other day like we do on every other idol video ever. They're like yeah if it'll be better sure idgaf. Also I haven't talked too much about this because posting images is a no go on pastebin, maybe I'll remember to do it on discord eventually, but the BBall club pres's sprite has a towel on her head and it's really distracting. Like I get it, wipe off sweat after balling, but like for an idle pose for a visual novel format, I think it's pretty silly.

Can't remember the dream, MC wishes we could get reruns of dreams. Anyways 3rd years walk up and say their obession is going to be on theater stuff. God I always forget Mia is a 3rd year despite being 14. Shizuku has hooked us up w/ the Theatre Club Pres who's gonna help the group out.

Theatre Club Pres has some extra tickets to some show that the 3rd years + MC are getting snuck in under as Theatre club students. Also Mia is tired because she stayed up watching baseball and honestly absolutely psycho. Imagine staying up to watch fucking baseball of all sports. Anyways Mia introduces the concept that in the US, idols refer more to just people who dance and sing, just a broad people who are looked upto. ALSO HER IDOLS ARE HER HOMETOWN BASEBALL TEAM AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. I hope Mia gets better soon. That broad concept of idols reminds MC of the PV and how to show off the other school clubs/students in it.

They go ask everyone to record their club activities normally instead of asking them to do idol stuff. Also the club members talk about recording their normal routines instead of the group stuff/trying to match everyone else. MC asks Rina if MC can participate in stitching the PV together. Random Dillon sound here.

Karin's off brooding because even she knows her identity and character traits put together are barely worth the little screentime she's afforded. Flashback blah blah got owned blah crying blah blah ??? blah. Lanzhu, Emma, and Kasumin come looking after her and Emma outs that Kasumin was wondering if Karin was gonna be crying LOL. The narrative posits it as Kasumin developing as a better person who cares about others. I'd like to imagine it as Kasumin just wanted to come up to make fun of her. Anyways Karin talks about how she's happy she became a school idol and what WONDERFUL friends she's made. I'll forever hold the grudge I had to read 1.5 chapters about Karin brooding only to resolve it as "The power of friendship is amazing! Anyways lets maintain status quo of not being a good friend".

I thought the next section would another idol talking about their issues, but instead we spend half the section having a picnic with half the club before we get on with it. Then we briefly talk about Emma and thank her for making food and she's super very nice and family supporting.

Mia takes this chapter to heap more praise on Lanzhu zzz before turning around and praising Rina for ... "You're the one who pulled the real me out!" Rina says all she did was stay by Mia's side. Instead Rina's very impressed that Mia was sad and scared all alone, but still managed to express herself by herself writing songs that screamed Mia's desire to sing and her love for singing. Anyways that restores Mia's confidence after watching Lanzhu and then we start recording.

Kanata chooses to pass up her chance to record to the other members. It's coming close to deadline, but she wants to let everyone else take an opportunity first. Then she asks to watch everyone's recordings and writes ideas for her performance from everyone's. Apparently it's a pretty different style from her usual, more "energetic". MC says leave it to her. Kanata thanks MC for letting her be selfish this time.

We finish ed- wait that's all? Why did we focus on these 4? Just the people w/ least popularity they thought needed a bump up in attention? Anyways PV is finished, it's amazing, and everyone wants to upload it immediately, so we do.
