► Yuichiro Yuuki  262 Sorry, Time got away from me! | Well, he thought the backyard was beautiful, for a moment. But as soon as he noticed the sinister looking fence, and felt the grass made of plastic when he laid down, well let's just say Yuichi lost his sense of whimsy. There were days he'd spend hours on end just laying in the grass, twirling wads around his finger before ripping them out. Days when he'd just lay down and talk with his sister, before she passed. A lifetime ago, it seemed.
Sitting up, he frowned. A deep sigh escaped him, before he shook his head and got up completely. He'd rather not get down in the dumps. Cupping his chin, he looked down at the grass. "Still, that's pretty disappointing. It must be to make the yard look nice, without needing to cut the lawn." There weren't many grassy areas around his apartment, sadly. Shrugging, he crossed his arms, looking towards the entrance. There was a particular person he was hoping to meet, and he figured this place would be a hotbed of activity.
Apollo Sinclair. Yuichi's heard of him before, but that guy caught his eye when they were lining up. Hell, backstage too. He seemed like a friendly guy; maybe a good ally in this game. Plus, their rooms were right next to each other, so probably a good person to get himself acquainted with.
Looking away from the door, he cleared his throat. May as well get some voice exercises while he's there. This place was not a vacation; hell, he was there because he was a singer! | |

Ah, this was nice! Apollo had taken the time to explore the manor as much as possible. And so far, he had found it to be quite beautiful and breathtaking. Such an ancient house with an intricate layout and elaborate architecture. With a wonderful spa where he could relax and unwind, along with a surprising amount of bedrooms to accommodate everyone. And of course, who could ever forget the breathtaking views from both the porches and the backyard?
Speaking of the backyard, Apollo had decided to outside into the backyard to check out his surroundings. To be fair, it actually looked like a pretty nice backyard. Well, at least, until Apollo realized that the grass was fake, which was a real crying shame. There used to be a time where Apollo could just run and jump and basically frolic through entire fields of grass, short and tall. Sadly, there wasn't really much of the glorious green ground, since the Tragedy. And Apollo would be hard pressed to find any actual foliage anywhere in the manor's grounds, or the New World, for that matter. But that wasn't important right now.
Apollo looked around the backyard some more before eventually deciding to head back inside. However, before he could do so, he immediately noticed one of the other contestants. He smiled. That was Yuichiro, the singer! Apollo remembered their rooms being right next to each other. Plus, Yuichi seemed like quite a friendly young man. Not to mention, somewhat cute, as well. Anyways, Apollo smiled before walking over to the other boy. "Hello." He said, smiling. "I almost didn't see you there. I didn't think anyone else would be out here. Anyway, you're Yuichiro, is that right?"

► Yuichiro Yuuki 286 This is the ultimate trash post | Was there any need to practice, really? Not like he had any performances coming up soon. Warm ups never took long for him. Was there a need right that moment? No, but it was fun. Few other things could send such a breeze through his heart than hitting that perfect melody, and if others wanted to listen in, that was even better!
Though, as he was taking in the first breath, a familiar voice cut him short. Turning to the source of the friendly greeting, Yuichi smiled in response. He rested his hands on his hips. "That I am. Apollo Sinclair?" Okay, he hadn't noticed this last time, but.. His eyes did have to go up a bit. Apollo was tall. If Yuichi was the type of guy to get sensitive over his height, this would be a bit embarrassing.
"Well, this is nice! I've been wanting to meet you personally, if I'm being totally honest." Looking around the yard, he wondered why no one else had came along by now. It was a pretty humid day, so that may be a reason. Seems they had this yard to themselves. "I've watched your show a bit before this! Not everyday, hardly have the time for that, but it is a treat when I can." In terms of day time television, "Wake Up and Smile" was something that he would actively try to catch if he got the time. Really no surprise Apollo was in this mansion. "I wouldn't even mind being a guest sometime, if you'd like it. Obviously we can't do that for a bit, but it'd be fun! Besides.." He chuckled to himself, winking at taller guy. "Wouldn't mind seeing your tapdancing in person."

Apollo smiled and nodded to Yuichi's question. "Indeed, I am." He said, then smiled. "It is an absolutely wonderful pleasure meet such an idol as yourself, I must say."
Of course, Apollo was even happier to hear that Yuichi was just as pleased to meet Apollo for the first time as well. Oh! Not to mention, the other boy had also watched his show! And enjoyed watching Apollo tap-dance, too! That fact alone was enough to warm Apollo's heart and bring a smile to his face. He always loved meeting random fans every now and then, but to think that a famous idol was also a fan as well. That gave Apollo all sorts of new hopes that his show would be able to capture the hearts of everyone, from every level of society.
"It's lovely to see that you're such a fan. I can't wait to show you my tapdancing! Also, I've always wanted a famous idol like yourself to be a guest on my show." He said. "I'm quite a fan of your music myself. And I will say, that you have the most enchanting voice out of any singer I've ever heard in my life. Not to mention, you look quite adorable too." |

► Yuichiro Yuuki 256 N/a | Oh~ There was an interesting tidbit by the talk show host. This guy admitted that Yuichi was cute! That was quite pleasant. It meant their interaction can be all that more meani-- The blonde cleared his throat, and rubbed the back of his head. "Please, Apollo, you're making me blush!" Well, he blushed a bit easily sometimes, despite being the most flirtatious person in the entire manor. He'd come onto an AI. Wait. He sorta did, didn't he? "I have to say, you're pretty cute yourself~" He winked at the red haired boy. This would be straight up scandalous a few decades ago!
"Hell, I wouldn't mind doing a sort of interview right now if you're inclined. Though, there's plenty of this place to explore, so I don't mind if you're busy." Well, they've already had a few hours, so the place should be a little familiar to at least some of them. There were probably already some people hunkering down in their rooms, avoiding human interaction. He wouldn't mind doing some 'human interaction' in his own room, but they probably didn't allow that. "I'd love to talk with you for a while, however. Get to know you a bit more. I was happy to hear your name called after mine!"
Tired of standing, Yuichi sat down on the fake grass and crossed his legs. He patted the ground next to him, gesturing Apollo to sit if he wanted. "I'm sure we'll both get into the academy. It's going to be an interesting school year, regardless." | |

Apollo blushed and smiled as he giggled at Yuichi returning his compliments. It was almost funny how such a thing like this was once looked down on a long time ago. And of course, while Apollo didn't usually flirt with other people this quickly, there was just something about Yuichi that Apollo just couldn't help but feel attracted to. Either way, Apollo was really happy to be spending time with someone, for once.
"Why, thank you. And I agree with you on that, Yuichiro. I really hope we both make it into Neo-Hope's Peak." He said, then smiled as Yuki offered to take part in an interview. "Why, of course! I'd love to have an interview with you! Oh, this is exciting!"
With that said, Apollo quickly walked over to Yuichi and sat down next to him. "I, too, would also love to get to know you better. There are just so many things I want to ask you. Well, I guess the first one would be about your talent. Are you a solo performer, or are you part of a band? And just what sort of music do you do?"

► Yuichiro Yuuki 286 tfw you don't even have a solid idea of what your fictional band even plays. | Vanity. It wasn't something he expressed much in his private life. You could easily gather that Yuichiro was one of the most vain people on the face of the desolate earth from his performances, but really, that was just a stage persona. Apollo's first question though.. Yikes. It felt like a knife just got plunged into his heart. With a surprised expression, he brushed his bangs away from his eyes. "Is that just a general interview question, or do you not know?" Then again, the media did report a lot on him alone, to his irritation. Nobody outside of Little Sydney would even know his name if it wasn't for his crew. "I'll get you a ticket for our next show, if you want! From seats! Just give me the heads up!"
Clearing his throat, he tried to throw the flirting in the back seat in favor of a normal conversation at that point. They'd gotten comfortable, after all. "Anyway, I'm just the lead singer of Old World Dreamers! We're a group of four, mainly focusing on pop, poprock, alt rock... We're very varied. Hate being stagnant." And damn was he proud of it. One of their goals was to make music reminiscent of the old world, so of course they had to be versatile! "There's me, Ryuu Takeda, Ayako Fujikawa, and Emil Kowalski! They're honestly my best friends in the world." He opened his mouth, as if to follow that up, but closed it, looking a bit sad. He debated in his head what he should say for a long minute before speaking again, without his trademark smile. "There was also another singer, Carol Laws. But she, uh... Left, unfortunately." A melancholic sigh escaped him.

Apollo hesitated for a moment as he noticed Yuichi's reaction to his question. Oh dear. It seemed that Apollo may have stepped on a nerve with that one. That was always bad during an interview, especially when it was in front of an audience. Not only was it incredibly bad for PR, it just left Apollo feeling like a real jerk afterwards. Either way, he couldn't just let this slide.
Apollo waved his hand dismissively. "Oh, it's alright. You don't have to answer it if you makes you uncomfortable. I understand." He said, then smiled. "Oh, you would really do that for me? That's so sweet of you!"
With that being said, Apollo smiled as he listened to Yuichi's answers. He felt so enchanted by his band and his music. And he supposed that, in a way, he did felt reminded of the simpler times that was the Old World. Still though, such a diverse and versatile group had Apollo deeply impressed. Not only was Yuichi himself talented, but his whole band was, as well. Of course, he couldn't help but notice Yuichi's despondency over one of his former bandmates. So, he leaned forward and placed his hand on Yuichi's shoulder.
"Drama in the band, I assume?" Apollo asked. "I mean, to my knowledge, this sort of thing usually happens because of creative differences and the like. But I feel like it might have been something else with you."
