[Here's an irritated looking idol on the network. She's bundled up in a white parka with matching pants, a pink scarf, and some earmuffs that look like Cleffa's. Rise is pouting at the screen.]

So much for my summer at the beach! First it's way too hot, then it wouldn't stop storming, and now snow? This isn't funny! All I wanted was a easy trip to Olivine, but no, I've been stuck here in Ecruteak the whole time!

[She turns her gear around to show an Empoleon, Oshawott, Meowstic, and a Sylveon playing in the snow. All but the Empoleon were wearing some kind of winter gear made for Pokémon.]

At least these guys are having fun... Does anyone know how to make hot chocolate that's safe for Pokémon? I think they'd like that after they're done playing.




[ooc: if you're in the Ectruteak area, feel free to interact with her that way.]

What are you good at? There's a lot of different jobs in this place. I'm an idol myself! It pays really well.

[paishodown]

I'm sure I could find work as a mechanic at least.

[Asami's not worried about it, it's just difficult when she's traveling with the girls. However...]

...What's an idol?

[dangerousidol]

A mechanic? That's pretty cool!

[Pretty and knows how to work on machinery? That's an awesome kind of lady.

And then she gasps. HOW DO PEOPLE NOT KNOW IDOLS?]

Idols are amazing! We sing and dance, act, anything we need to do to make our fans and everyone happy~!

[paishodown]

Oh. So they're just... celebrities?

[They're juuuust starting to get there in Bending Town, so Asami doesn't quite Get It yet.]

[dangerousidol]

Yeah, if you include the fact that there's obsessive stalkers, men who worship them, so many threats against their lives and anyone they date, and so on.... yes, just celebrities. [She could go on for days about the negative things about being an idol. But she won't.]

It's not all bad. Being an idol can be a lot of fun. I love it!

[paishodown]

[Asami can't help but making a face.]

That doesn't freak you out?

[dangerousidol]

I used to be when I first started. And sometimes it still scares me, but it comes with the job, you know?

[It's not that bad. Or so she keeps telling herself.]
