Sumire Tenshi has posed:
Sumire Tenshi was awesome, amazing, and doing a little mini-show before her concert. She had been on some variety show where she'd done some choreographed dance and was now, after the session, sitting in the changing room, wiping the sweat from her brow and trying to calm down after the sheer exhaustion it had created.

What she did not expect was her agent coming in. "Sumire, your friends have come to see you."

She blinked. "Friends?" She had friends? When did she get friends?

"The girls from that... color game of yours?"

"Oh! Yes, feel free to let them in. Tell them they'll need to walk and talk, though. I've still got a busy night ahead of me," she said before getting to her feet. "I'll be heading home, okay?" What she also didn't expect was for them to be out there WITH SECURITY when she came walking down the hall.

She paused and stared for a moment. "Oh. He already let you in..." She trailed off. "I'm heading to my car. Do you want to come?"

Reiko Touyama has posed:
Reiko Touyama has dragged Hoshi out. "/SUMIRE-CHAN IS BACK IN TOKYO/." that's all she had to say at first- but then she went on. "I mean. You know what that means. Right? Ugh. I really hope. A Shade isn't drawn to her." she says. "or Hiroko keeps to her own for the moment despite.. the things wrong with her too." she says softly. "I spoke to her already warned about. 'Weird stuff'." she says as she walks along with Hoshi.

"And she's kinda like she always was. Almost. It's odd. You know?" she asks. "That someone like her could get along with us but Hiroko couldn't." she said a little more seriously with a sigh.

She grins. "Sumire-chan!" she says. "Yes they did." she says. She walks along.

"Sure! Hey-- Sumire-chan! This is Hoshi-chan. You remember Hoshi Kogane, right?" she beams with a smile over to the Yellow Keeper of Color.

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
"Sure, let's go visit. It'll be fun." Hoshi agrees with Reiko at first, and then gets her nanny to grab the overly large limousine for the purpose of driving them there. They could fit all the prism keepers in there and even then there'd be plenty more room for everyone. It's pointlessly huge, really, but it's very comfy. "I got along fine with Hiroko. We were doing a mutual promotion thingy before, well... you know."

"We have our own, it's got more room, so we probably ought to use that one." Hoshi says in a kind of bored tone, "But it is nice to see you again, Sumire~ I hope you're doing well?" She smiles, and shoves Reiko a little, "Sumire is famous, Rei-chan~ You don't need to gush over her like that, that won't impress her."

Sumire Tenshi has posed:
Sumire Tenshi nodded, still a little thrown off. Then blinked. OH! Right. "O-oh. Yes, ummm... okay. If... you want. But I really must head home. So I suppose we can take... your car. Just... wait a moment, please." She walked back into her room and grabbed a... tablet?

"Okay. Let's go." She walked with them for a bit, giving Hoshi a... shy smile? Well, this was new. "It's been a long time, Hoshi-chan. I'm happy you're doing well," she said. However, as she walked she started tapping away on the tablet and... wait, was she doing homework? Studying?

Once they came outside she eeped as her security got into place. "Tenshi, is it true you're debuting a new single?" "Tenshi, is it true you'll be attending Verone?" "Tenshi, who are these girls with you!"

Sumire eeped and... kind of... hid behind Reiko? HIDING from the spotlight? That... that was definitely new from her. At least, how they knew her years ago. "O-oh dear. Let's go fast, okay?"

Reiko Touyama has posed:
Reiko Touyama looks at Sumire's tablet. "Oh! Did you get the paperwork handled?" she asks. She looks to Hoshi. "She's going to Ve--h..hey! I'm not gushing over her!" she insists with a blush. Still. She huffs and looks to. Fans. Fans and crowded fans and she kind of wishes she could summon her koi and have them push the kids away but they wouldn't see the koi and her koi are not particularly powerful in her unhenshined state as the constructs often are.

She swallows. "Come on Hoshi, let's book it." she says, grabbing Sumire's hands and off they go toward's the car!

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
"I am Hoshi Kogane, of the Kogane family, have you not paid any attention to recent events?" Hoshi answers the question of who these girls are in a kind of mock-huffy tone, like the very notion that someone might not recognize her reflects very poorly on the people who don't. Once inside the car, however, she relaxes a little. "I guess a few fundraising ads don't really make me famous, but I thought that it'd be easier if those people just assumed you hang out with us because we're all famous."

"I'm not sure where you live, Sumira-chan, but I'm sure if you give my nanny the address she'll drive you there right away." She leans back a little in the decadently comfortable seat, this car really exists primarily to show off, "Long time no see."

Sumire Tenshi has posed:
Sumire Tenshi nodded and once they were in the car, she gave the directions, before relaxing in the seat. She didn't even look around at all the special stuff in the limo. Likely because she'd probably been in one a hundred times already. One leg crossed over the other as she flipped through her tablet, doing her assignments.

"Mmmm hmm. It's been a long time. And yes. The paperwork is handled, I'll be attending Verone at the end of this month. Until then, I'm still doing my self studies." She then glanced up to Reiko, then looked down to her hand. "You're as... energetic as always. But there's no need to run so much. My security can more than handle my fans." She... lived in an apartment area. They could have afforded a house, easy. But her family wasn't really one to... settle down for long times. Still, the place was fancy and had ample security. Odd she didn't have a nanny of her own, though.

Reiko Touyama has posed:
Reiko Touyama hops into the car and they're safe from fans questions and she doesn't wanna be in the spotlight like that. She's shy and hates speaking in front of class - let alone a big group of strange clamoring kids.

She sighs a bit. "Right let's get you back home then." she says.

She nods at Hoshi matter of factly. "Hoshi's been doing a lot of good work recently!" she says. "Maybe you two can get together and do a chairty concert...?" she asks.

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
"I can't sing very well, but maybe I could see if we could help in arranging one?" Hoshi muses softly in response to Reiko's suggestion, she's not really committing to anything, just musing aloud. This is quite obvious, then they arrive, and Hoshi gets out of the car. "This is a nice appartment, Sumire-chan~ It kind of feels like a smaller version of our penthouse." Because of course Hoshi's family has a penthouse in Tokyo.

"So, Rei-chan~ If you think we should set up a charity concert, you'll have to help." She insists, and glances towards Sumire, "What do you think, Sumire-chan~?"

Sumire Tenshi has posed:
Sumire Tenshi glanced up from her tablet. "Mmmm? Oh. Ummmm... talk to my agent, I suppose. We're booked solid for a while but... maybe something in April. Possibly may. Definitely by june," she said before flipping through and then heading up towards the house. "It works for us." She'd then head upstairs and, once in the place... it was very...

Sterile.

Everything was cleaned, it was obvious they had a maid or something. The table was covered in books, school books to be precise. She motioned to the pads. "Sit where ever you like," she said before walking into the kitchen, placing the tablet down and glancing in the fridge. She grabbed a bottled water, before turning back to them. "Do you two want anything?" There weren't even any pictures. No books, no movies. There was a tv, but judging by the fact it wasn't even plugged in, it likely wasn't used much. "I have to make supper, I'll make you guys some too. If that's okay?"

Reiko Touyama has posed:
Reiko Touyama looks around and...

This place is very boring. Even her family's home looks decked up and decorated and while Reiko isn't in a mega rich family she is in a /super well off/ family. Sumire is most likely swimming the Scrooge McDuck Money Bin of cash and this place looks so dull and boring and unintresting.

It's exactly the kind of thing her Prism Keeper senses hates.

"This place is..." she keeps the rest of her thoughts to herself as she looks to Hoshi. "Sure!" She says. She doesn't know how she'd help. But she will!

"Um. Do you have any.. um." she says. "Sure! I'll eat whatever you make then!" she beams.

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
"I know what's more important than a charity concert, you need a home makeover." Hoshi says as soon as they come in. She looks at the place like it's the hell dimension from DOOM. "This isn't a place to live in, there's more life in a graveyard." She points out, seeming to be actually a bit offended by the lack of anything to liven it up. "But supper would be nice, I guess."

Sumire Tenshi has posed:
Sumire Tenshi glanced around. The OLD sumire probably would have tore into them for that. Would have yelled, thrown something at them, possibly thrown a fit. This one just gave a timid smile. "I'm sorry. We... very rarely entertain guests. And we're rarely even home. I probably spend more time on the road or in a changing room than I do here, so I don't really... have much in the way of decorations."

She started chopping up vegetables and before long there the sound of something being cooked. It didn't smell very appetizing. It didn't smell good. Just not the most appetizing. A look in the fridge would reveal nothing but health good. "Do you two like fish?" she asked, before putting a container in the microwave and starting it up. Grilled vegetables, a side of rice, apple slices and salmon. At least it was decently well spiced when she brought it over.

She then sat down by the table and pulled over one of her backs. Ohhhh, math. Reiko would probably love that.

Reiko Touyama has posed:
Reiko Touyama frowns now that's odd. She was sure Sumire would ahd gotten at minimum grumpy abut that. She scratches the side of her head but. Many of them had changed since the game ended. She purses her lips. And looks as she begins cooking. And getting salmon and fish ready.

Then she realizes that Sumire is doing her own cooking.

"Erm. Don't you have anyone to cook for you Sumire?" she asks softly as she sits down at the table politely.

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
"That smells... great." Hoshi answers, sounding somewhat unconvincing as she sits down at the table too, and glances towards Reiko, "But you know how much Rei-chan loves fish, right? Maybe something other than fish would be better. I'm sure my nanny would love to help you figure out something that works for all of us." She suggests, with a look towards Reiko with a look of 'back me up on this?'

Sumire Tenshi has posed:
Sumire Tenshi paused, the chopsticks inches from her lips. There was a very slight twitch. "Oh. How... silly of me. I'm sorry, Reiko-chan. I forgot you didn't like to eat fish." She walked to the kitchen and soon... came back. The fish replaced with tofu.

She then sat down. "Mmmm. I used to. But I wasn't home often enough for it to really be viable. I told my parents I could take care of it myself from now on. Sometimes when I'm out on a late night, however, I'll order food from a few select restaurants. But I normally try to prepare my own meals as I much more prefer to know exactly what is going into my body."

Nothing really tasty, it seems. It's actually pretty good, though. It's just... not very intense in flavor.

Reiko Touyama has posed:
Reiko Touyama head tilt. "What? No I eat fish!" she huffs. "Hoshi's just being difficult." she shoots her a glare. "I love fish! Like. Eating fish. That are for eating. Just no koi. Don't eat koi." she says with wide eyes.

She does however, eat. Delicious.

"I see." she says quietly. Sumire is living alone!? Oh man. Lucky her ten year old brain thinks.

Why if she lived alone, she could have Eilam-kun over whenever she wanted! Yup. Mmhmmm.

Hoshi Kogane has posed:
Hoshi looks at her plate, she pokes the food with her chopstick a few times, and one of her stars pops up in the sky. This one wears a chef's hat, and it makes a face, then a motion that seems to imply 'throw this away.' The girl pokes her food again, and then very carefully, gingerly takes a bite, and quickly gulps it down. "I'm not really all that hungry."

Sumire Tenshi has posed:
Sumire Tenshi nodded. "Mmmm? Well, I'm happy you like it, Reiko-chan!" she said happily, giving a grin. Then her eyes glanced to Hoshi. Then... she lowered her eyes. "I... see. So you don't like it... then? I'm sorry. I wish I had something more appetizing to suit your palette." She, however, very slow and gingerly ates hers as she went over her book. That, at least, was normal. She was ALWAYS the last one finishing meals. 'A true royal NEVER rushes their meal. They eat with dignity and poise, at all times.'

It has been quite a while, I trust you two have been on all kinds of wild adventures, hmmmm?"

Reiko Touyama has posed:
Reiko Touyama Purses her lips. "Oh god. Yes it's been very busy!" she says. "Lots of stuff has happened actually like. Those storms..." 'Storms'. "And I had a boyfriend for a bit! but he had to move...." she says quietly. "Oh! and----"

Her phone rings and there is yelling of a tiny squeaky british voice. Roy!

"Erm! Hoshi. There's um." A Shade. "There's a problem back at your place. To uh. Lie in the /shade/. And they totally just painted your room 'Black and White' by accident and...."

"Look let's just go be upset at people!" she says wildly and grabs Hoshi because it's time to go fight a Shade!
