Open Catch-All
Who: Hibiki Tachibana determinationtofist & you!
What: Adjusting after being dropped into a different world
When: Late May/June
Where: Central City
Content Warnings: If needed
[ Considering that Hibiki currently has an unlimited amount of money, Hibiki is spending a lot of time at the mall... even if high prices still cause her to instinctively balk... and can you really blame her? It's still kind of hard to believe that she can just... buy anything she wants!!
Still, that's not the point. Right now, she's standing outside of a store selling costumes and various costume parts... including masks that Hibiki has to genuinely wonder if they can keep her identity a secret when she works as a Hero. Plus, then there's the problem of if she can keep it on when she transforms.
Well, since finances are far from an issue, she can technically get whatever she wants... but the problems currently are the fact that she can't decide on a mask, and the big problem... how she'll keep it on after transforming into her gear. It would always leave her hairclips on... maybe it'll still work? ]
Nn... would this really keep my identity a secret...?
[ Speaking out loud about it probably doesn't help, Hibiki. ]
Unfortunately, while the issue of keeping her identity a secret has been handled(?), it does not change the fact that Hibiki is... the epitome of everything unsubtle about being a Hero. ]
Encore! Encore!!
E-Eh!? Huh!?
[ Hibiki's just finished knocking the lights out of a group of criminals that had just attempted a pretty brazen bank robbery, and since her Gear runs on her singing, she sang the entire time.
This is not the first time she's had to do this since she ended up here, and it looks like she's started making some fans thanks to her songs. ]
U-Um! An encore!? H-Hold on... HUH!?
[ Oh god, she's famous now. What does she do. She's not ready for this. ]

OddEyes or at my OOC Intro if you want something like a closed prompt for something like, I dunno, roommate nonsense? Which I thought of making a prompt for but it felt hard to do something like that as an 'open' prompt.

[1] Secret Identities are Hard Actually
Um... uh... ah...[ Considering that Hibiki currently has an unlimited amount of money, Hibiki is spending a lot of time at the mall... even if high prices still cause her to instinctively balk... and can you really blame her? It's still kind of hard to believe that she can just... buy anything she wants!!

[ Speaking out loud about it probably doesn't help, Hibiki. ]
[2] Unintentional Fame
[ Hibiki never intended to become famous. Obviously, she was informed that working as a Hero would have some level of publicity with it... but she just can't see herself as someone famous like Tsubasa or Maria. She figures she can just keep a low profile... using a cheap orange mask by setting it down, transforming, and then putting it on. Miraculously, it works better than Hibiki had expected.
Unfortunately, while the issue of keeping her identity a secret has been handled(?), it does not change the fact that Hibiki is... the epitome of everything unsubtle about being a Hero. ]

Jason had recently seen the amateur online videos of a singing superhero in a cheap orange mask. He has to admit, he had been curious because he hadn't heard of anything like that before. Sure, there was Black Canary's screech but that was different. Putting on a performance like this new hero is a hell of an attention getter.
Though judging by her reaction to the grateful civilians' applause, she's still adjusting to a lot of things]
Well, yeah! That was pretty good.
[Time to investigate a little. Jason also wants to see if she might be a threat to his Red Hood activities]
no subject
Ah, really!? Wait, hold on, this is happening too fast!
[ Deep breaths! Deep breaths!! She hadn't noticed the crowds outside of keeping the fights away from them until now, and in general, she's not used to suddenly getting so much attention after a fight... usually because back home, most people would be evacuating far before she would even arrive. ]
W-Wait, who are you!?
[ ...her reactions are out of order, but whatever. ]
no subject
Just another grateful civilian. Thanks for all your work.
[No need to give away too much information]
no subject
[ As new as new can get, really. Still, even if she’s new and not used to all of the sudden fame, she can at least handle being thanked by a (seemingly) regular citizen. ]
C’mon! We wanna hear more!
A-Ah…! Crap, uh!!
[ Should she hightail it? She’s in the middle of a conversation now, but man, she can feel all of the eyes on her. How the heck do Tsubasa and Maria handle being onstage back home!? ]
no subject
You know, you don't have to do an encore if you don't want to.
no subject
[ Is it bad that she feels kind of bad if she doesn't? Not that she has much of a choice, since she's never performed before... unless you count when she's fighting, and that's over and done with right now. ]
I uh, don't usually get praised on my singing that much... ehehe...
[ Plus, there's that as well. ]
no subject
[He finds it pretty hard to believe]
no subject
[ You don't really stick around a battlefield, especially when it usually involves usually-untouchable creatures that will turn you to dust the second they touch you. ]
This is the first time I've really had such a crowd, hah...
no subject
Sooo... stopping bank robberies usually isn't a thing for you? What do you fight then?
no subject
[ Not necessarily Noise, but most of the time it is... and otherwise usually enemies far outside the range of what humanity can reasonably handle on it's own. It's a long story, really, but Noise sums it up well enough. ]
Usually I'm fighting creatures called Noise. Normal weapons don't do anything to them, and anyone that touches them turns to Carbon and dissolves... but the Symphogear can take care of them!
[ With that, she pumps her fist a bit. ]
It's powered by Phonic Gain, though, and that's generated by singing.
no subject
Puts a whole new meaning on the phrase "a hit song" then. Doesn't seem like we have those creatures here if that's any help.
no subject
[ Just outright being a superhero in a world full of superpowered individuals is wild enough in it's own right. Heck, she's not even sure what to call herself. The internet has taken to calling her "The Singing Fist", but that's not really a Hero name, is it? ]
no subject
[A very big mess depending on the villain]
So can we call you the Singing Fist or is there something else?
no subject
[ It does sound cool! At least in Hibiki's opinion... but it's not really a name, is it? That being said, she can't really come up with anything better yet. ]
I'd like something a bit more like an actual name... but I haven't got a clue what to call myself.
no subject
It'll probably come to you eventually. Or someone on the internet is gonna come up with something viral and you'll be stuck with it.
no subject
[ Hm... maybe 'Gungnir Girl'? Something to think about later. Still, it fortunately starts to look like people are starting to about their business again... the requests for an encore dying out. She lets out a sigh of relief. ]
A lot of people are gonna be listening to my songs now, huh...
no subject
no subject
[ It's in this weird middle ground of a dream come true and a terrifying prospect. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Her... a pop star... maybe even a top artist... actually, no, she can't see herself doing that well with how little she would even know what she's doing, but still! She wonders if Tsubasa and Maria would be proud... the thought of possibly even singing with one of them at a live concert instead of just at Karaoke nights or during missions... she holds her hands up to cup her flushing cheeks.
Still, then the other part of what Jason said sinks in... being recorded. There are a good chunk of people still with their phones out right now. ]
Ah! I should probably go! Um... sorry, what's your name?
no subject
no subject
[ She suddenly clasps her hands over her mouth. So she's not completely helpless in the secret identity department. ]
Uh, bye! Thanks for chatting with me!
[ And with that, she'll start sprinting down the street until the thrusters at her back suddenly fire up and she zooms off... accompanied with the sound of the power jacks on her legs suddenly firing, propelling her into the air and onto a nearby roof, where she starts to jump away. ]
no subject
placeholder for roommate nonsense
no subject
Still, it was nothing she couldn't handle. Plus, River was nice! All things considered, her living situation here could've ended up worse, frankly.
No, the main problems started happening when she was informed by the Alliance about the School... and listen, she may not be the greatest academically, but if she does find any of her friends, she expects that she'll end up being scolded pretty badly if she doesn't go to school.
So off to school she goes... and to be fair, in terms of classes involving training abilities and other hero-related activities, Hibiki does fine.
It's everywhere else, however, where she struggles. ]
Haaaaaaaaaahhh...
[ Hibiki is currently slumped over the table, homework already piling up and due very soon. It may be a different world, but some things never change. ]
no subject
She doesn't mind school. She simply wishes it wasn't high school, and presented more of a challenge. Still, that means she can finish her homework quickly and get back to her work trying to figure out what exactly this place is.
Though her roommate doesn't appear to be having as easy of a time as River is with her work. She peers over at the other girl's desk, trying to see what she's working on.]
Is the work presenting a challenge?
no subject
Still, for however long that they're rooming together, Hibiki still wants to be friends with River. It's a shame, however, that River doesn't just let her cheat and look off of her work since she does so well... but then again, nobody let her do that back home either, so she shouldn't have gotten her hopes up.
River wishes for a bigger challenge... Hibiki wishes for an escape from this one. ]
Yeppppp...
[ Her head thunks against the table. ]
My teacher is gonna kill me...
[ If she ever sees Miku again, she's going to thank her profusely for being the main reason why Hibiki hasn't flunked out of high school before getting here. You only realize how much you're missing once it's gone... ]
no subject
Or rather, she does and chooses not to.
She peers down at the work being done to see where she can help.]
What troubles you?
no subject
[ She certainly feared her teacher back home at Lydian, that's for sure. She's exaggerating, obviously, but while Hibiki has come to learn that River is allergic to sitting in a chair normally, River may have probably figured out that more than anything else, this Symphogear-wielder's greatest weakness isn't a situation in which she isn't able to sing... but homework, and she crumbles both mentally and physically in the face of it. ]
Everything... I didn't pay attention in class so I don't have any notes, and my brain just... dies the second I look at the equations...
no subject
[She moves a chair over and sets it next to Hibiki's chair. Though hers is backwards and she perches on it, resting her elbows against the chairback.]
I will try to explain the best I can. I've already been through college, at home. I feel qualified to aid in your homework.
no subject
Whoa, seriously!? Man, you really are amazing!!
[ Hibiki meanwhile, as River will quickly start to realize, is the complete opposite... but she makes up for it with hard work, even if she's very clearly still not enjoying it. ]
no subject
Show me where you've become stuck, and I will explain.
