[No one else wanted to take charge, so here he was, looking into the video feed with a resigned expression.]

...Does anyone have any musical experience or know how to start a band? I need to uh... commission a song or something...

[He looks completely at a loss, not sure what else to say about it, awkwardly shutting off the feed.]

"For what?"

Private Voice

[trainwrecking]

I know, I heard it... But what if you get a songwriter to write something for you, but no singer? We'll have a backup plan.

Hang on. [And he'll go listen to the voice clip off the private line to avoid audio feedback. It isn't polished and doesn't elicit strong emotion like a real musician would, but it doesn't make him want to tear his hair out either.]

Okay, yeah..! You--err, we-- [we,because he feels responsible, he feels like they should at least be a team on this]-- could probably sing something short if nobody steps up. We should probably try to write something too, in case a singer volunteers who doesn't write their own lyrics.

[all_wound_up]

Yes, of course!

[halberdaxe]

Then perhaps you should make the request more direct.

[frequent_flyer]

[But it was dir-]

[Wait.]

Noda... Do you know what commission means?

[halberdaxe]

[You should know the answer by now, Hinata.]

It was not direct enough for me to understand it.

[And he's looking confident while saying that. Yep.]

I'm helping- [Sort of.] -organize a tournament at the arcade! I was hoping to get someone to sing a little song about it to get people's attention and advertise it... Maybe have some entertainment at the arcade during the tournament, too..!

[Was she offering..?] Does that... sound possible?

[electricyousei]

"Give me the specifics and I can probably come up with something."

She shrugs a bit.

[leadthebeats]

Oh? So that means you're going to dye your hair, Hinata-kun?

[ If he's going to mess with her, she's definitely going to mess with him too. ]

[That was a good point...] I could probably write a song if I had to... it can't be that hard, right? And you could help me!

[If only he knew...]

What about you? Can you sing?

Video

[frequent_flyer]

So if I found music, you could play for me?

Video

[frequent_flyer]

[noda pls]

O...kay. [He should've seen that coming, his palm connecting with his forehead in frustration.] I want to... ask someone else to write and perform a song.

...Do you know anyone that can do that?

Video

[frequent_flyer]

Great..!

[Hooray for progress!] I'll have to tell them I found somebody... can I message you with the details later? I don't have them yet...

Video

[frequent_flyer]

And ruin this gorgeous 'do?

[He ran his fingers through his hair, tossing his head to the side theatrically.] I'd get a wig of course... [He was really hamming it up... maybe he was more confident when she wasn't close enough to hit him.]

video;

[leadthebeats]

Do you want me to get the wig for you?

[ She has the money, after all. ]

You won't even have to owe me anything.

[frequent_flyer]

... [There has to be a catch. He racks his brain for odd tortures she could think of as a loophole, only coming up with one solution.]

Only if I get to pick out the wig.

[leadthebeats]

What, you don't want me to pick out a wig for you?

[ And she'll give him a frown. She's not really sad, but hey, she can work it up every once in a while, right? ]

[frequent_flyer]

[Yeah. He thought so.]

I was kidding anyway. [Might as well tell her about his stupid plan, rather than linger on his imaginary visual kei band.] I'm trying to plan a tournament at the arcade and Otonashi suggested music... Since GlDeMo isn't here, I have to find other people.

[Hey wait...] Yurippe, you were in GlDeMo for a little while, right? Do you remember how to play guitar?

[deathboss]

Babe, Michel's life is for the stage! He'll gather you up any crowd that you need!

[If he believes in it, it will be strong enough, right?!]

Video

[frequent_flyer]

[...Babe? And why does he keep referring to himself in the third person...]

[That aside, he seems really into the idea, so Hinata can't complain. At least he's motivated!]

Would you be able to write a jingle I could put on the network..? I'm helping set up a tournament at the arcade and hoped that would get people's attention.

Video

[all_wound_up]

Yes! ...Probably!

Video

[frequent_flyer]

["Probably", she says...]

[Well, he can't play an instrument, so he has to hope that she can come through for him.]

I need to talk to everyone else about how to do this... so why don't I message you when I know?

Video

[halberdaxe]

[He gives a smirk in response.]

Why would I know anyone like that?

[......Yep.]

[frequent_flyer]

I don't know! That's why I asked!

[GETTIN REAL TIRED OF YOUR SHIT NODA]

[leadthebeats]

I remember well enough.

[ She wasn't that good, truth be told, but hey, nobody ever said he was commissioning good music. ]

But I'm not going to help you in that aspect.
