*On your gear this evening: A troubled looking purple haired woman with a tiny elephant in her lap. Both of who are rather wet due to the rain, yet are currently taking shelter under a rock outcropping. Something that is without a doubt not what you would see on Route 29. She politely waves to the little camera on the gear, before speaking up:*

Ano... Excuse me? I don't mean to bother anyone with my first broadcast, yet...

*She pans the camera over a little to the area outside the outcrop to show a few tough looking Graveler, before returning the view to her.*

I think I may have taken a wrong turn somewhere? I'm sure I was heading in the direction on the map, yet while walking through the rain with little Raja I somehow wound up in a bit of a... rocky situation? *She smiles a little at her joke, hoping the humor would make anyone worried less so* I'm fairly certain little Raja would have a good deal of trouble with those large stones if we keep going in this direction... So... I don't suppose anyone could give me directions to Cherrygrove?

*The Phanpy in her lap lets out a loud trumpet at this, already EXTREMELY WORRIED that not even directions will get her there.*

Now now, Raja, that's not necessary-- I'm sure they'll leave us alone if we just stay out of their way-- *Giving the elephant a reassuring pat on the trunk, she then gives the camera a small wave and a smile.* Thank you for your time, everyone~! *Annnnnd click*

My, it doesn't lead anywhere at all...? How strange that it would be mapped out...

Well, technically, it does, but it's one-way. There's a series of impassable ledges that you can only traverse by jumping off.

One-way...? Then just how did I manage to get up here...?

[And here Athrun was just wondering that himself.]

Well, head south until you reach the guard house, then head west. That's how you get to Cherrygrove from where you are.

Hmmm~ South and to the guard house... Then turn west? I'll be sure to remember that. Thank you very much~.

If you need further advice, just contact me with the Gear. My name's Athrun Zala.

Ara ara... How rude of me to forget. My name is Azusa Miura. It's nice to meet you, Athrun-kun.

Eh?

[Wow, another one. And come to think of it, she does match Makoto's description...]

Pardon me, but you wouldn't happen to be part of 765 Productions, would you?

Ara ara... Are you a fan?

Uh...not exactly. But I have gotten to know the rest of your fellow idols here.

Especially Yayoi. We've known each other for over a year now.

My... You've known her that long and you're not a fan?

To be completely honest, I'm from a different world. I know it sounds really strange, but I swear that it's the truth.

My... Even if you're from a different world, a year is still quite a long time. That is more than enough to be both a friend and a fan, Athrun-kun.

[At that, he puts on an apologetic smile.]

You've got a good point. I've just been unfortunate in that I haven't had much chance to see her perform.

But if she ever does a concert -- really, if any of them do -- I've promised to be there. So I guess you can call me a fan-in-waiting or something, huh?

Ehe... I do hope you'll do the same for me, Athrun-kun. Otherwise I might feel left out.

Oh, of course! I'd never leave anyone out.

...Maybe I should hope you all perform as a group, huh?

[Sheepish grin.]

That would be quite fun~! ... Ara, though I must admit I have a bit of an obligation to perform with Iori-chan and Ami-chan before everyone else. We're a unit, after all~

Er...a unit?

Mm, that's right. The three of us together are Ryuuguu Komachi.

...Oh, huh. I didn't know that was something that's done.

Though, er. Iori is here, but the third member isn't. Let's see, according to Makoto...the twins and...Chihaya, was it? They're not here.

Ara ara... You certainly seem familiar with all of us... Are you certain you're not already a fan and just a little shy about it, Athrun-kun?

Er. That's just. I...had Makoto tell me about the idols who hadn't shown up yet. So I'd stop being surprised when Yayoi or someone else would get brought up in conversation.

[Looking ever more sheepish.]
