Okay. [ Kelsi takes a deep breath, trying not to look too frazzled. She's feasted, woken up, and...Nope. She's still here. She takes a quick breath and offers a shy, slightly waning smile to the network of lockets. She's in her room--it's one of the smaller ones--and Ryan Evans can be seen in the background with his eyes closed, doing yoga. More specifically, parsvottasana pose. Kelsi seems completely oblivious. ] So this isn't a dream, that's--great. [ That's one word for it ] Which means if we're all here for a very long time, it's probably a good idea to say hi? So...

[ A little awkward, but she lifts her hand in greeting, the smile completely gone after her hand moves to fall on her lap. ] Hi. I'm Kelsi, and if there are any Wildcats out there, please let me know? At first I thought this was a dream, except normally my dreams involve East High still, and musical signups, sometimes I dream about tea, and--oh! Right. I also wanted to know if anyone here has a good singing voice. And maybe if you were okay with letting me hear it?

It's not for something weird! I promise, I promise, it's just--If I'm going to be here for a while, I might as well do something. Like write, right? [ Wow Kels, way to not tell people what you actually do. ]

One last little thing--if anyone was going to university or college for music composition, I'd really like to get into contact with you. There's this bit in one of my text books that's really confusing to me for some reason. Thanks!

[ She ends it with a little wave--and throughout this entire conversation, Ryan has moved to Downward Dog, and eventually to a handstand. ]

Huh. That.. That sounds familiar--hang on!

[ She's scrambling to get her backpack, pull out her iPod. She knows she has something, even though it's not an idol group. Something from a soundtrack to a movie she really liked... ]

I swear I've heard that before.

[ She pauses in confusion trying to peer at what the older girl was doing. The words 'AKB is famous' fly to her mouth, but she knows that's not true here. While it's an honest truth back home, a lot of people haven't heard of them before. ]

Ah, that's not going to wo--

[ Work. But she hesitates and considers before shaking her head and just deciding. And she hums a second before singing. It's one of their most famous and popular songs, so if there's any it's the one that makes most sense:
]
I want you!
I need you!
I love you!
Inside my head
Music keeps playing
Heavy rotation

Like pop corn popping
The words "I love you" are dancing
Just by thinking of your face or voice
I just can't sit still

[ The song's matched with glowing, too. Tiny little alien spot light glowing, her own personal stage really. ]

[ Kelsi winds up laughing. Really, really laughing because this whole thing is a rush of excitement and light and glowing and it's fun. It's fun and she doesn't know the words but she's clapping along, even dancing a little bit, and she can't help but beam.

This is it--this is what happened with music. This is what happened and this is what she wanted to do: make people sing and smile and dance and she can't help but keep laughing. ]

You're great! Please, please please please let me write something for you!

[ It's a true show, at least. And that's what is important to Kanata. She'd seen people distressed and worried here and as an idol it was her job-- her duty, really-- to ensure that people could be happy. It wasn't a burden or anything like that, she wanted to support the people around her. Protecting their smiles was one of things she wished to do.

So it's easy to smile and laugh with a large breath when she finished her song. It's nice to sing even here and more important then ever she's once more reminded. But as the girl speaks she kind of just turns a deep red and opens her mouth wordlessly, shuts it, and shakes her head. The smile is genuine. ]

Mm. You should write songs for the people who need it.

For people that need it...? [ There's a hint of confusion in her voice, tinged with sudden uncertainty. ]
