You are the PRODUCER, a former soldier hired to manage a group of teenage girls on their rise to stardom, assuming they don't get killed in the process!

You're currently sitting in a cramped room in a karaoke place, getting ready for each of the girls to have a go at a song.

Julie is up, and the other girls huddle to decide what song she's to sing for.

"I Burn?" Julie raises an eyebrow.

Julie sings somewhat respectably. However, she does a better job at it than Cole did, but again, you don't really notice anything too remarkable to point out, other than Julie fumbling a few lines due to the song's speed and frantic techno beat.

"Not exactly my favorite kind of song." Julie sighs. "But I suppose I'll need to learn how to deal with it."

Next up is Rochelle.

And... Rochelle basically nails the song. She hits pretty much every note and seems to know the lyrics by heart. In fact, you're not too sure, but she might even have sung this song before...

"It's actually one of my favorite songs." Rochelle shrugs. "I.... kinda like fantasy stuff, but all the other girls always made fun of me for that."

"Well, I won't. You're really good at it." You grin.

"Thanks, sir." Rochelle smiles, her cheeks reddening.

Now it was Rin's turn.

Extra ranks in singing proficiency lower the DC for all songs and unlock more difficult songs to attempt. With a high enough proficiency and an easy enough song, it would pretty much be impossible to fail it.

Rin manages to pull off the song rather well, even if it was pretty clear she wasn't too familiar with it. She fumbles a few lines here and there, but she makes up for it by matching the nonverbal singing parts without breaking her tone or pitch. All in all, it was a pretty decent performance.

"Not bad, Rin." You grin. "Definitely made the right choice with you."

"Thanks, Producer." Rin grins.

"Horrid."

"Disastrous."

Jenner looks at you, and then at the girls, who all start staring at her with puppy eyes, even Cole. You see the corner of Jenner's mouth twitch before she finally relents.

"Fine..." She sighs. "Let's get it over with."

Oh, do Producer and Jenner actually have any stats by the way? Been meaning to ask that.
>>
>>29312990
Jenner actually does... pretty well. True, she misses a lot of notes and can't quite get the pitch on some of the trickier parts of the song, but she definitely didn't flub it as badly as you did.

"That was pretty good, Miss Jenner!" Rin claps. "Have you sung before?"

"Not really." Jenner shrugs. "I guess it was just beginner's luck?"

You glance at your watch and gasp. It really WAS getting quite late.

"Alright girls, let's go." You clap to get their attention. "Make sure you don't leave anything behind!"

The sun is already starting to set when you leave the mall. You grab some quick take out at a Burger King before making the long drive back to the office. Thankfully, the ride is pretty quite since the girls were dead tired and were nodding off during the trip. When you finally get back to the office, Rochelle, Julie, and Cole make their way up to the dorms while Rin heads off for the train station, waving goodbye as she does so.

"Come on, Producer, we've got work to do." Jenner says, stepping out of the driver's seat of the van.

No one seems interested. That was probably what we were going to do with Jenner, but anon thinks escorting Rin would be more interesting (and they're probably right).

"You go ahead, Jenner. I'm going to make sure Rin gets to the station okay."

"Alright." Jenner sighs and grins. "Don't take too long, though."

You nod and run off to catch up with Rin.

"You know, I appreciate the escort and all, but it's really not necessary." Rin says as you catch up. "This is a pretty low crime area."

"Yeah, well, it can't hurt to be too careful you know?" You say.

"Yeah..." Rin sighs. "You know, I heard the things idols get into, and talking with the others, it seem to confirm my suspicions. Rochelle, Julia, and Cole are supposed to be there to protect me, aren't they?"

Really, you're all supposed to be protecting each other--which is why we're going to be teaching you about firearms safety and usage and a bit of CQC in addition to dance routines and singing lessons.

Mmm... not her (Rin). Her focus is to be the idol, the center stage one. Most if not all her work is going into that not CQC, firearms, etc

So what should we train our idols in after we see how in shape they are?
>>
>>29313814
Looking back at it, I must admit there are more than a few similarities between Jenner and my RL sister, so I'll shut up on that front from now on. But I still think the only thing Jenner has going for her is she's the only game in town.

If you don't mind my asking, where were you really while she thought you were kidnapped? And is it hilarious enough to apply to the game?

"Pretty much, yeah." You nod. "It's really crazy, huh? I didn't believe at first when I was told about it."

"Yeah, well, I'm actually not that surprised." Rin sighs. "Jenner told me you're new to Delta City. Here... everything's pretty cutthroat. Everything's a competition, because that's how it is in a city run by corps"

"I see. It's actually something to see you taking this all in stride." You remark.

"Yeah, well, you can say I've seen Delta City's dark side in action." Rin shrugs. "Like, I remember a couple years back, I kid got killed in a freaking school science fair. A science fair!"

"Whoa, what!" You blink. "They even murder each other in school?!"

"Well, no, it was accidental." Rin shakes her head. "But, I mean, the pressure to succeed, it can drive people here to do crazy things. Push the limits, if you will."

"Why do people even live here?" You ask incredulously.

"Isn't it obvious? It's where all the money is. It's were all the jobs are. It's the American Dream reborn!" Rin motions to the city around her. "I mean, that's why you're here, isn't it? Because you needed the job?"

"You have the point there." You concede.

By this point, you've already reached the train station, and you reach it just in time, as you see the train begin to pull in.

"Well, thanks for walking with me, Producer. Not a lot of people care for stuff like that anymore." Rin smiles. "I'll see you tomorrow."

And just like that, Rin boards the train and it takes off.

As you walk back to the office, you wonder to yourself whether Delta City really was as bad as Rin put it out to be. Outside, everybody kept touting Delta City as the city of the future, ready to lead the rest of America to prosperity. Hell, there were even politicians calling to make it the new capital city for the United States.

Were you really cut out for this?

Your train of thought is interrupted when you return to the office and see three new faces waiting for you.

"Ah, Producer, you're finally back." Jenner says, stepping in. "Here are our new permanent staff members. Lillith Chalmers, Ushiyama, and David Jackson. They're our counselor, dance instructor, and songwriter respectively."

"It's nice to meet you all." You say politely.

"It's certainly a very small outfit you've got here." Ushiyama sniffs. "But I suppose it's better than nothing."

"I for one am glad you decided to hire me." David bows his head a little. "Old fashioned songwriters like me are a dying breed these days, it seems."

"I hope you're treating your idols well." Lillith says, arms crossed.

"I worked three years as an idol in Starfall Entertainment. Then I worked five years as a counselor, though I mostly did freelance work for various companies. I never stayed in one particular one for too long."

"I see." You nod. "And, do you have like, any sort of success rate, if counselors have that sort of thing?"

>>
>>29315432
"Hm, if you're mostly freelance, why did you decide to work for us?" You ask.

"Because most other idol companies treat me and my profession like a band aid. A short term fix. One of their idols starts picking up drugs or cutting her wrists from the stress, they call me in, and the moment the problem's resolved, they kick me out, as if that was the one time that problem would ever crop up. Suffice to say, I get a lot of repeat business."

"But you're not satisfied with it."

"Of course not!" Lillith sighs. "It makes me feel like my profession and my efforts aren't appreciated. This was the first place that offered employment on a permanent basis and... well... I owe the Boss a favor or two."

"One of the idols we've hired I'm particularly worried about. Cole. We picked her up in the tombs, and I get the sense she's going to be...a lot of work. So far I've been somewhat lying to her about my motivations for hiring her, claiming that it's purely business. I mean, the business part is true too, but I don't think she'd believe anything else regardless of my sincerity.
I know that eventually she's going to get to a point where she wonders if all she is to us is a money maker, and I'd like your help in knowing when that is so I can start letting her know that I, we, actually care about her beyond just her value to the company."

I like this. But we need to talk to her in private about this information. Just ask to speak to her afterwards.
>>
>>29315735
I'm okay with that.

"You know the Boss?" You blink.

"He was my producer when I was an idol, years back." Lillith remarks. "Don't ask me personal details about him, though, because I don't really know all that much about him, either. All I know is that unlike everybody else at that time, he treated me as an actual person, and I haven't forgotten about that."

"Okay, thanks." You nod. At this point, you were fairly sure Lillith here was the real deal.

Now for the other two...

>Interview Ushiyama.
>Interview David
>Other

>>29315703
Seems a bit too much considering we care for all of our idols
>>
>>29315780
Not bad at all. Will add to the list of woman near our age.
>>
>>29315787

Cole needs extra care to humanize out of murder survival tombs mode tho
>>
>>29315787
Of course we do, I never meant to imply otherwise. Just that Cole will be especially difficult to handle.
>>
>>29315780>Interview Ushiyama.
>>
>>29315780
>Interview Ushiyama.

Time to deal with the real problem. At least we got the waifu candidate dealt with.
>>
>>29315780
>>Interview Ushiyama.

>>29315780
>>Interview Ushiyama.
I fear this dude is going to be a handful.

>>29315780
>>Interview Ushiyama.

>>29315803
Stop waifuing our counselor. Nothing good will come out of it.

You then turn to Ushiyama, who certainly looks... unique. With that mix of feminine and masculine features, it was difficult to tell what Ushiyama's gender was.

Since his application indicated he was male, you were just going to assume he's a guy.

>You certainly don't seem happy to be here.

Answer to the other two questions are both
>Professional dancer

>>29315939
>What's your work experience?
Oh boy...
>>
>>29315780
Is that Haku? Aw damn, what a template to make a character on.

Unfortunately it looks like I got a bit too ambitious today, so I'll have to cut things short here for now. But I think we did pretty good today!

Anyways, next thread should be on Saturday, like always. Let's hope the posting does crap out! Also we'll start getting deeper into the details of running the company!

PS: Don't forget PJ Witches on Friday!

Thanks for running.

>>29315973
Here I meant that in a good way as she's my favorite Vocaloid, though I'm not assuming Lilith is the exact same.
>>
>>29316033
>>29316038
And now you know why I decided to stop for the night.
