Rising Stars! Rise to the Top!

[Maiden Miki]

"Hands off kid," said 'Makino' as she shifted her shoulders to get Eric's hand off. She then froze a little bit and looked at Cherry's glare. She then smiled nervously and said, "Yeah. I sure you can get some older audience Cherry. I mean there are women who liked cute things right?"

Kat's fists clenched into little fists on the tabletop as Taylor taunted her. She groaned at how much it stung, and lowered her head, her shoulders slumping as she picked up her knife and fork, and resumed her breakfast. "There's more to being a woman than a large chest... ", she muttered between mouthfuls.

[Mystic Mina]

Realizing that maybe he said a bit too much, Taylor sighed and moved away from Makino back to Blossom's side.

"Hey, relax. I was just kidding. You chose a great name,and you a lot to the group, alright? Keep your chin up!" Taylor gave the girl a gentle, friendly pat on the back. "As for your name, Jasper... Good! Jasmine'll do! Now, finish up your breakfast and get ready! We've got lots of stuff to do and not enough time!"

All right... *"Jasmine" takes another minute or so to finish up her breakfast, then stands up.*

[Hira Kanaki]

"Since the name thing has been settled." "Chiaki" said as she started on her breakfast.

[Maiden Miki]

Makino just ate her breakfast as she watched what was going on. Eventually she seem to have finished.

[Harri-chan]

Cherry tried to retain her angry face, but it melted away into a smile as Taylor came over and patted her back. She found herself nodding up at him, "Okay... ", she murmured. "What are our roles in the band going to be?", she asked, before taking in another mouthful of food.

[Mystic Mina]

Happy that he got Cherry's cute little smile to return, Taylor gave the girl one last pat on the back before starting off on his next explanation.

"Since half of you are done, I'll tell you what your roles are going to be. First off, Cherry Blossom here will be the lead singer. Then, you, Chiaki, are going to be the bass guitarist. Next, Makino shall be the keyboardist. And finally, Jasmine over there is going to be the drummer. You're all probably wondering who's going to play the lead guitar and be back-up singer. Well, we've got a fifth girl coming over, and she's going to finish off our five man... Er, woman group. She's got a lot of experience with music and bands already, so you all can learn from her."

[Maiden Miki]

"Well I do know a bit about the keyboard. Still when will we meet this other person?" asked Makino as she laid back in her chair.

[Harri-chan]

Cherry looked rather nervous upon hearing she was going to be the singer. Grasping each side of he chair, she squirmed a little, her pink and white sneakers turning so the toes pointed inwards as she pressed he knees together. "All those people... looking at me?", she asked. Her head dropped a little, and she looked down at the bunny face on her shirt. "Are we gonna get to pick our own clothes? It's not just on stage costumes we have to think about, but outfits for photoshoots, and even casual clothes incase we're photographed in our free time! We'll be inventing a whole new image of ourselves to present to the world... and I think we should be allowed to choose that image ourselves instead of some marketing group deciding who we are!".

[Ookalf]

Wait... I'm a drummer? I can't drum, though...

[Hira Kanaki]

"I'm fine with what I got, since I can play that instrument fairly well." Chiaki said.

[Mystic Mina]

((Shoot, I got it mixed up! Jasmine is the keyboardist and Makino is the drummer... My mistake. Just pretend I said that instead. >_>))

"You're... Really thinking ahead, aren't you?" Taylor sighed for what seemed like the billionth time that morning. He kept forgetting that the kid in front of him had the mind of a sharp young woman. "It isn't my call. It's up to the board of directors, really. I'll bring it up at the next meeting, though, and maybe it'll happen. So, how about we get going? I'm pretty sure you're all done with your breakfasts now, right?"

[Harri-chan]

Cherry rose from her chair, but winced as being on her feet just made her lack of height more obvious when stood near the others. "Yeah, let's go", she said, immediately reaching out to slip her hand into Taylor's. "I feel so full of energy this morning! Are we meeting this guitarist at the studio?".

[Ookalf]

I'm ready to go, too...
