Casting Call (Mana, Nanami, Ryouta, Hiro, Karin)

Post by ryouta on Nov 1, 2014 7:49:08 GMT
Tssskkk... it's getting more and more nervewrecking. Ryouta really wondered when his turn will come as he leaned on the wall. It's apparent that Babydmon in his bag can feel his anxiety as he tried to hum something that sounds like a lullaby. It's not bad, but it definitely sounds like a little kid singing. Ryouta chuckled slightly. Oh boy, how caring his 'little brother' is. As the line getting a bit thinner, he saw Mana... and KARIN!?
He gulped, wondering what would the girl want in here. It's not as if he is in bad term with his 'little sister' now, but honestly, looking at her like that, it's like she's going to kill someone... but looking at Mana who gave her cat plushie, he know what's her reaction afterward would result to. Ryouta grinned and quickly messaged his girlfriend.
To: Tsumura Mana <My Mana> From: Noguchi Ryouta <Banchou-sama (lol)> Subject: I see you
Look at the wall in front of you, try three-o-clock from there.
If she saw him, he'll wave a bit at her, grinning cheerfully as always... only then he noticed that beside him there's another guy who's talking a bit with... with his bag? Well, let's try to strike a conversation. Most likely it's a Digimon Tamer.
"Hi! Here to cast, too? What role do you want to do?" he asked, smiling.

Hiro rolled a shoulder as he tried to make leaning against a wall more comfortable than it actually was. He had forgotten how uncomfortable this position could be if you held it for a long period of time. The process for auditioning seemed to be a lot longer than he had originally estimated.
"Ne, Hiro~" And even worse was the fact that he was carrying the equivalent of a small child in his bag. "I'm bored~"
"You're not the only one." Hiro finally pushed himself off the wall and stretched. He was feeling a bit twitchy from all the waiting and needed something to take his mind off the audition. Waiting for something was probably the worst part of anything.
Luckily for him, a distraction named social activity was ready and waiting.
"Hi! Here to cast, too? What role do you want to do?" A boy his age asked him.
"Huh?" Hiro blinked in surprise before nodding. "Oh, yeah I am. I'm trying out for one of the side roles. Classmate, Board technician. That kind of thing."
Tetsu huffed quietly in Hiro's bag, but kept quiet for now.
Hiro heard his partner and grinned a little, deciding to poke at his partner's desire for him to try for a hero role. "I kind of lack the proper bits for a main role considering." He gestured to himself, referencing the fact that he was male and not female.
"How about you?"

"...Please don't get your hopes up. I'm here only for a bet, and nothing else... And I've been really cranky lately, so let's not prolong this a---NYA~!?"
Karin perked up, almost energized by looking at a plush at Mana's hand. Her body trembling as she quivered like a leaf. Her eyes somehow losing its usual cold stare and now replaced by really really really round eyes of an excited kid. Her hands inching slowly to the cat on Mana's hand... she really want it. Her cat senses tingling. If this is an anime, surely she'll start sprouting cat ears and tail, with her tail swishing about excitedly. Karin suddenly let out a cute "Nyaaaa~~~n" at the plushy the closer she's to it. The blondie take it albeit shakily.
"...Nya... nya nya nya nya nya nya~~~"
Definitely, she's happy. On very rare occasion, the girl grinned and hugged it very excitedly. "Nyah! Nya nya nya nya nya nya nyan~~~"
....And then she noticed people looking at her. Karin quickly pulled her hat all the way to her eyes. "...'gato"
It's apparent that she shyly thanked Mana for what she gave to her. "...The name is 'Mew-san'. Maybe I'll give him a tophat just for fun... ...T-this cheered me up, thank you... really, thank you..."

After Nanami performed her acting, the judges discussed on their own. Ryoko, on the other hand, smiled at Nanami and gave her thumbs-up. Nao wondered what they were discussing, hopefully they were talking about passing her. And so, they came out with a conclusion.
"Okay. So you really catch the character. It's great. Now all you have to do is to improve your acting." Morimoto commented. "Personally, you acted really well, and I didn't see any exaggeration. But I noticed you landed a bit flawed during the kick. Anyways, you can practice the moves once you get the role." Amano commented. "I agree with Mori-san. You acted really good and grasped even to the slightest bit of the character." Tsubaki added. "Okay, I can only say a word: Excellent!" Sakamoto praised. "Since the others made comments, then let me make mine.
You do grasp the character for both Satsuki and Leangle, and the actions aren't half bad. I see you really worked hard for this, so... would you give me your hand?" Hojo commented before asking Nanami to give her hand. If she did, then he would place a stamp of "(0H0)" emoticon face on Nanami's hand.
"Congratulations! You take the role of Satsuki Kaido!" Hojo congratulated, which was followed by applauses and cheers from everyone in the audition room. Even Sakamoto did that too. "Wonderful!" Sakamoto praised. "Just to let you know, Leangle II will have her Jack Form and King Form in the movie, so Satsuki doesn't have to worry about the transformation went caput, as by the point she acquired the Jack Form, her fusion rate goes up and stable." "Gratz, Nami-chan! See ya in da filmin' later!" Ryoko congratulated before she bid the blue-haired girl. "Okay, next!" Tsubaki said.
Assuming Nanami would leave the room shortly after, Amano then looked at the recommendation list Ryoko gave to him. Since it was Mana's turn next, he had to look over her short profile. While he looked at the bio, he was puzzled at what he saw. "So, Mana Tsumura is the next to be auditioned. What I want to ask to you is, why did you recommend an underaged girl a role, and it's the protagonist role of all things?" Amano asked to Ryoko. "It's b'cuz she'll turn 14 sooner or later, n she dun look like girls in her age. She's tall, as tall as Nao-san, maybe? And it's said that Alice is a happy-go-lucky girl who's a bit clumsy, I think Mana-chin would suit the role." Ryoko answered. "Okay, since it's the protagonist role she's about to take, I guess it's my turn to see her performance personally." Tsubaki said.
When the judges were preparing for the next audition, there was a cat walking under the table. It was a white cat, Persian breed. It then rubbed its head on Tsubaki's feet and meowed. "Nyaa~" "Oh, you're hungry, puss?" Tsubaki asked as he took the cat in his arms and put it on his lap, caressing it as it meowed again. He had prepared some question for Mana to answer if she was about to apply for role of Alice Tsubaki, AKA Kamen Rider Blade II. What was interesting, her surname shared with his. Maybe it was reference?

And looks like everyone liked her performance. Nanami smiled and gave a thumb up back. Honestly, who thought that her first debut in entertainment industry is as a Kamen Rider? Nanami herself chuckled mentally at that. And the judges reaction just basically made it it official. She's going to be one of the female Riders. Nanami did what Hojo asked, and it's apparently a stamp that she passed, even the original actor said it. The bluenette beamed and bowed, thanking the judges.
"I'll work hard! Everyone, please take care of me from now on!"
However, she wondered if she can be in bulky suit of the Jack and King Leangle. Afterall, those two... well, really bulky and not exactly her liking, but... in entertainment industry, those who not willing to work wouldn't get called anymore. So, want it or not, she'll have to do it if someone said she have to do it. The blue haired girl came out from the audition room and in the process encountered Ryouta. It's rather a pleasant surprise.
"Oh, hey there, Ryouta-kun! Here for audition, too? Is Mana here?"
"Oh hey, Nami-san! Yep, going to try to apply as the suit actor! And yep, Mana's here."
"Huh? Suit acting only? Not going for something bigger?"
"Well... nah, I'm afraid my Okaa-san and my sisters going to nag me to quit... they're really overprotective... so I'm here basically without their consent... Oh and what about you?"
"I see... well, then, ciao~ Good luck! As for me..."
She showed him his Leangle emoticon stamp, grinning slightly. Ryouta grinned back. The bluenette waved at him as she goes to where Mana is.
"So you're here too, huh, Mana? Hopefully you'll get a major role! Would be fun if we can act together! Sorry I can't talk much to you right now because I'm a bit busy, but... well, maybe you'll understand my role if I show you this?" she asked, pointing at the stamp on the back of her right hand. "Fight-o, Mana! Your boyfriend is going to play in it too, anyway," she teased. The blunette then leaves the building, starting to get ready for her little acting training.

Karin's reaction was more tha—; no, way more that what she had expected didn't cover it in the very least. Yet, she was happy because the girl was happy. "Glad you liked it, Karin-nee!" she said as she hugged the girl "I was so afraid that the quality wouldn't be enough. And yes! I'm pretty sure that Mew-san would love a top hat!".
Finally heeding to her D-Terminal's message. She looked over, and found Ryouta some meters ahead of her. She waved at him with a big smile on her face and blowed a kiss towards him, as to wish the boy good luck.
She continued to chat with her surrogate sister about trivial stuff until Nanami came out of the audition's building, happy. She greeted her other friend with a smile. "Hi, Nami-chan!" she greeted "It's good to see you! By the way" she said signaling to the blonde "This is Karin-nee; she's my sister. Karin-nee, she's Nami-chan; she's one of my best friends! Hopefully you'll get along!" she then looked at the stamp on the girls hand and smiled widely "Yay! Congratulations, Nami-chan! Hopefully we'll all enter so we can act together! I'll try my very best!".
And so, apparently now was her turn, as somebody came to fetch her. Mana's demeanor changed considerably as she entered the audition room, but the core was just the same. She looked genuinely happy and looking forward to have fun, but there was a barely notable serious air around her. She had practiced so much for this, and she was sure that she wouldn't dissapoint. As she entered the room, she began to introduce herself.
"Hello everyone. I'm Tsumura Mana, a thirteen year old student" she began, her voice calm but not without betraying the happiness that she felt abount being here "I want the role of Alice Tsubaki, better known as Kamen Rider Blade II and Ryoko-sama has told me that I'd fit it nicely, so I'm here to try and prove that to be true" This was tokutatsu, and even if she was using her willpower to not to go fangirling around so much awesome people, she tried to portray as much professionalism as she could "It's pleasure to meet such amazing people all at once".
She bowed; telling time was coming and she was more than ready for anything that they could throw her. She was going to be Blade II. Oh, she had almost forgotten! She rummaged in her backpack real quick, and brought out her Blay Buckle on a quick fashion. Of course she had the toy; no true fan of the show wouldn't have it.

After the chat with Nanami, Ryouta goes back to his new acquaintance. "So yep, you heard my talk with her... I'm aiming to be a suit actor! Maybe people would say it's kind of a minor downgrade from the normal role, but... I'm doing this for both my girlfriend and a... deceased friend. Well, that much is not important, but hopefully we can both get accepted!"
Still, when Mana grinned back at him, he grinned back and signed 'Thank you'. "Well, that's her over there... that doesn't matter much though... I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like me telling more cheesy stuff, so..."
After Mana got called, he glanced around to ensure nobody watching and opened his bag, revealing his partner. The small baby dragon looked curiously at the new guy in front of him.
"...Errr, Hiyas~?" he greeted.
"I kinda thought that you got the same issue... talkin' with bags, I mean," he joked.

"A suit actor?" Hiro whistled in appreciation. "Geez, you really tried out for a rough role. Doing stunts and fighting in those suits is tough, not to mention some of the fighters have quirks you have to keep in mind." He thought of Faiz's little hand flick or the sheer ridiculousness of the Double Rider's poses.
Hiro smiled weakly as Ryouta talked about his motivations. It sounded a lot more impressive than his own reasons of his Digimon pestered him and won a bet. His smile softened out when Ryouta turned to interact with his girlfriend. They seemed nice enough.
Still, nothing could have prepared him for the pulling Digimon out of his bag trick. Geez, did he have a sign on him that just screamed, 'Digimon Tamer here, come one and all with Digimon.'
"Ah... I guess I wasn't exactly too subtle there." Hiro said as he pulled his own bag flap off and let Tetsu pop his head out. The Chibimon smiled brightly at the partners in front of him.
"Hiya. I'm Tetsu a Chibimon. As the name states, I'm a tiny little guy." The digimon tilted his head at Ryouta. "Ne, ne, don't you think Hiro should try out for a better role?"
Hiro bopped Tetsu on the head. "Keep bothering me about it and I'll sign up the for villain role." Tetsu gasped at the threat and covered his mouth with both of his stubby arms. Hiro shook his head and turned back to Ryouta. "So what do you think about all this? I mean, a movie having brand new riders isn't exactly new, but so many female riders is kind of bucking the trend." Hiro didn't want to state the old joke about female riders. He hadn't seen the entire script so he didn't want to jinx the characters.

(OOC: Yuuki told me to skip Karin. Hopefully everyone else dun mind D:)
As Mana entered, the judges were ready in their position. After Mana's introduction, Ryoko, Nao, and the judges repeated their introduction like they had done to Nanami. Tsubaki was still caressing the cat on his lap, though. "Yeah, just call me Baki if you want. Honorifics are your choice." Tsubaki said.
And then Baki was about to throw some questions at Mana. As per Hojo's questions style, it was about the basic knowledge, but with rather... different style. For candidate as young as Mana, Baki had to do this more gently. "So, quick questions. - The first is... How much do you know about Kamen Rider in general? - And then... What do you know about Kamen Rider Blade? - Then, what do you think about Kazuma Kenzaki, the first Kamen Rider Blade, and then his Rider form Blade himself? - Also, have you ever trained martial arts and willing to train one? Because according to the script, Alice Tsubaki is a happy-go-lucky girl who is a bit clumsy, especially when she first time transforms into Blade. Added by having little to no martial prowess at all, at first. But later she learns how to be a better fighter. - Kenzaki has iconic battle cry of "UEEEEEE~I!" each time he attacks with stronger attacks. Wile I think it's hot-blooded, it sounds cute as well. So what do you think about it? Will you do that too, perhaps? Hahaha. - The next is, what would yo do if you were tasked to seal the Undeads as Rider System wielder? - And the last... Since this movie contains Shoujo-ai, and the character, Alice would be involved in it, would you mind?"
Ryoko crossed her fingers, hopefully Mana would pass this audition. Seeing that the movie had some shoujo-ai elements in it, Ryoko worried if Mana wasn't okay with that, especially with that prejudicial mindset she had from her family. Nao also looked at the judges intensely. Assuming Mana would answer the question one by one, Baki then continued the audition afterwards. He then asked her, "Okay, so I would like to see your Henshin pose as Blade II. You brought Blay Buckle with you, but if you forgot the card, I'll borrow it to you, so no worries." Tsubaki then showed Mana a Rouze Card of Ace of Spades, Change Beetle Card which was used for Blade's transformation into Rider form.
After that, it was Sakamoto's turn to ask her to ask her. As usual, his questions would be the pivotal point of the judging, so better to impress him. He's the director and he wanted talents with good acting, that's all. "Okay, so the character you want to play, Alice Tsubaki is a happy-go-lucky girl with undying spirit. Since Alice would end up like Kenzaki in the movie, what you would to do once you know you've been mutated into Joker Undead after excessive usage from King Form, due to her fusion rate being as high as Kenzaki's?
So, I would like to see some of the emotion plays. Like how you would act normal expression, angry, sad, happy, embarrassed, annoyed, and such. Next is... I would like to see your fighting action.
And then I want to see how you would perform Lightning Blast, Blade's signature move."
They then would see how Mana would act per question. Ryoko hoped that Mana would pull it. Heck, Even Nao rooted for that honey-eyed girl to succeed. While she was qualified to take Alice's role, Nao was a bit anxious about it, so she chose other roles.
"Nyaa~" The cat meowed when rubbing its head on Tsubaki's hand. "Okay, okay. Just wait until we're done with the casting, okay?" Baki told the cat on his lap.

After the introductions were done, the questions had begun. She began to address them one by one.
How much did she knew about Kamen Rider in general was the first. "Being totally honest, my knowledge level is pretty high, but due to school and obligations, it's only limited to some of the series, as I haven't been able to watch them all".
What did she knew about Kamen Rider Blade was the next question. Well, the plot is about an event that happened ten thousand years before the first episode. A massive battle known as the Battle Royal was fought by fifty-two demons, better known as the Undead, each representing a species fighting for dominance over all others. The winner was the Human Undead, known as Category Two of Hearts, giving dominion of the Earth to humanity. In the present day, archaeologists discover the sealed Undead, and accidentally set them free, resulting in a new Battle Royal.
Having developed the Rider System, based on the Joker's ability to copy sealed Undead, the organization BOARD first equip two young men, who become Kamen Riders: Kazuma Kenzaki and Sakuya Tachibana fight together as Kamen Rider Blade and Kamen Rider Garren to protect humans from Undead and seal them again. Also fighting Undead is the mysterious Chalice, who'll afterwards be revealed to be Hajime Aikawa; the black joker. And finally, there is a fourth rider that is constantly fighting to free himself from the control of the sealed Undead that power his own Undead-made Rider System. His name is Mutsuki Kamijo, better known as Kamen Rider Leangle".
The next one was what did she think about Kazuma Kenzaki and his Rider form, Blade. "I really admire Kenzaki's character! I find endearing that instead of being gripped by despair due to being orphaned at a young age, he really found it as a motivation to protect the weak. I also admire his will and perserverance when he didn't gave out, even when the BOARD HQ was mostly destroyed, but what I admire most about him is... his devotion towards his friends, and how he eventually paid a really high price to do what he believed was the right thing to do.
About blade, I like the direct approach he gives to most problems, charging headfirst! I like his strong moves and attacks, and his overwall willfulness in everything he makes! I'm sure that I'll have a lot of fun interpreting that! Although I think that at first, due to Alice being not-so good at fighting, I'll have to rely on my fellow riders, and I have no problems with that one too! I hopefully she'll build solid relatinships with her fellow riders just as Kenzaki did!".
Then if she had trained in martial arts, and willing to train in one. "Well, I've trained in the past, but just not enough to be a relevant thing. Yet, of course that I'm willing to train in one! I know that's vital for my role to be trained in one. I don't mind intensive training at all, should it prove to be a necessary method".
What she thought about Kenzaki's trademark battle cry was the next question. "I love it and of course that I'm expecting to be able to do it in the movie! I've practiced it a lot! Even though it sounds a bit too girlish...".
How she would react if she were tasked to be a Rider and to seal Undeads. She obviously had mixed feelings towards this one, as the plot of KR Blade was polemic, but she'd be truthful. While I know that it's a kind of controversial thing, due to every type of Undead just wanting to have a shot in living in the planet and it's kinda sad to having to seal them just for humanity to continue, but I guess that's expected for us to do the same. Even if I could understand the reasons why the Undeads fight, I'd also understand that fighting them back is the only alternative for humanity to keep going the way it is and to protect everyone who lives from the what would happen if we lost. Having said that, I'd gladly help the effort in any way I can! To be honest, I'd be a honor if something like BOARD trusted me into being a rider system wielder"
And now, the biggest question. She had been okay with doing most of the things portrayed in the series, yet... Shoujo-ai. Luckily, she had made her mind about this one too. "Well, to be completely honest, it depends on how many shoujo-ai scenes and their tone. With preparation, I really don't mind doing sexual tension or similar stuff, but I have a limit on kiss scenes. I can make them alright, but I start to feel awkward if they push them too much or if there are too many during the movie. Hope you can understand that".
Things went much easier after that. Heishin was the next step, and Blade's came as easier to her as breathing, but of course, she wouldn't reject the chance to use Tsubaki's card. "Oh, I have but, I'd really love to use yours! It'd mean so much to me to use the original card!" Having said that, she distanced herself a little from the actor, and while holding the buckle with her left hand, she placed the card inside it with her right, copying the motion of the belt fastening into her body while doing the Heishin pose. "Heishin!" Right after, she flipped the buckle of the toy, recieving a 'Turn-up' as response. Imagining the card proyected in front of her, she ran through it just as Kenzaki would.
She didn't expect the next question, if she was true to herself. So, the role she was striving for would end just like Kenzaki; mutated into a Joker Undead after using her King Form due to the fusion rate being really high. She sighed, having actually cried while watching that scene the first time, it wasn't an easy question to answer. With somewhat teary eyes, she looked at the actor-judge, with a half smile. "If I ended just like Kenzaki, I guess that I'd be happy and sad at the same time. Sad because I'd had surrendered my humanity and now I'd have to be away from the rest of it to prevent more fights to happen, and being away from my friends and loved ones would hurt me a little too much but I'd be happy anyway, because at the end, I've saved the ones I love and redeemed a friend and... that was totally worth it".
Emotions was the next step. That was rather easy too, she could spare some fighting moves. Sighing, she prepared herself. "Hi! I'm Tsubaki Alice, but you can call me Alice!" was her first try as a greeting, in her normal tone. Then, she stared like the time she fought against that MetalGreymon "Are you a traitor?! Why?! I thought we were friends!" she said, referencing the escene when Garren left Blade to fight alone. Sad was the easiest one, as crying just came naturally to her for some reason, kneeling, she just let the tears flow as she muttered a silent "No..." pretending to be to shocked to speak further. Getting up and wiping the tears, he then smiled with relief at an imaginary person "Glad you're alright. I was so worried about you". When it came to embarassment, she just had to imagine Ryouta barechested and the flush inmediately came to her cheeks; maybe it was just too effective, as she just stuttered "I-I... I" incessantly, even taking her some seconds to actually shift into the next thing; fighting action. She did some rolls, blocks punches and kicks, and slashing motions. The baseline of every toku fight; while there was nothing flashy in there, the movements were solid and determined, and Mana thought that letting them know that she had a strong grasp on the basics was way more important than showing them some flashiness, really sure that they'd request that sooner or later.
And the grand finish. Lightning Blast, Blade's Rider Kick. No self-respecting fan of KR Blade wouldn't exactly know how the technique was executed, and while she thought that due to her flexible body and physical condition she'd be able to execute it properly. She was just sure of that. She made a motion as if she were holding the Blay Rouzer in her left hand, while picking the cards that were in the '5' and '6' spots and making a slash motion with them. In her mind, she was already hearing the 'Kick' and 'Thunder' sounds. Making the motion of thrusting the Rouzer into the ground, she jumping, flipping mid air and making a really good imitation of the kick, landing neatly on the floor. Smiling at her display, she bowed at the judges after that.
"And that's all from me. Thank you for giving me this opportunity!".

"Well, to be honest, my reason of doing it is to expand my horizon while at it. I know that suit acting might not be the best way of practicing martial arts because the acting standard, but eh... it would be quite fun," Ryouta commented on his desired job. "Still, completely new at this, so might need a lot more acting lesson."
Apparently, Hiro a bit surprised with him having a Digimon, too. "Can't blame me to try, eh?" Ryouta joked. "Speaking of which, we haven't introduced ourselves formally, right? Name's Noguchi Ryouta. Nice t'metcha," obviously the black haired offering the other teen a hand for shake instead of bowing.
"Plus, even if you got a holosuit for your partner, mine still can sniff yours out, you know? That's how Digimons works. I don't know if you know, but... apparently Digivices can lead you to other with similar devices..."
He smiled when Tetsu asked if his partner should aim for bigger role. "I think each to their own, lil' guy. Your partner preferred those roles, so let him be."
Hiro asked him about female riders... yeah, all three are female riders... he's not sure what to say about that, because generally female riders are just... well... there's a joke that saying that girls cannot be riders.
"Not so sure, but if it's almost all-female casts on the riders, I want to keep positive... I mean... that the riders would be decent female riders instead of... well, girls cannot be riders."

"Yeah, I don't really know if this is the best place to hone martial arts." Hiro tilted his head and thought about the ridiculous maneuvers that Riders did or just the slug fest that the fights eventually devolved into. While there were some riders that fought with martial arts in mind, it wasn't exactly a highlight of the fights. That was left to the weapons, form changes and awesome finishers. "But I'm sure that you'll do fine. They'll bound to have the veterans there so you can learn from the best."
"Mmm, I'm sure you'll be awesome." Tetsu said as he threw around some punches and kicks while making Bruce Lee noises. "You'll crush evil with your martial skills."
"You know, he never mentioned which suit." Hiro smirked down at his partner. "For all we know, he could be a villian or an Undead."
"Eh?" Tetsu froze at that idea. His brain could literally not comprehend such a nice person being a villain, even if it was a fake one.
Leaving his partner frozen on that thought, Hiro turned back to Ryouta and accepted the handshake. "Tsukino Hiro. Though, I'd prefer it if you just called me Hiro. Do you mind if I call you Ryouta? I'm not exactly fond of formality."
When the other Tamer talked about his Digivice, Hiro sighed. "Right, I forgot about the map function on that thing. I tend to just leave it in my pocket and let Tetsu warn me about Digimon around me." Hiro looked down at the Chibimon who seemed to be in some sort of argument with himself. "I guess he just didn't notice your partner."
Hiro felt a little awkward about bringing up the female Rider thing now. He was suddenly glad that he hadn't made the 'Female Riders, no Survivors' joke. He rubbed the back of his head and smiled weakly. "Yeah, let's hope that the movie goes well. It would be nice to see more female Riders, if only for more variety of characters."

Well, looks like it's Mana being called right now. Karin is unsure of what to do, but she suddenly... felt out of place. The girl sighed. She really loves Mana's present for her, and honestly, she want to just stay there and cuddle her new plushie, Mew-san (or Mr. Mew, but that gonna be a copyright infringement, right?) Still, the girl walked to her easiest target currently...
"...Aniki..."
She saw Ryouta flinched, looking at her with eyes and expression that directly said 'what the hell is wrong with you, calling me like that so suddenly?'
"Well, I can't help it alright!? I'm really bored and I'm here alone in a place I don't know what's this audition about other than it's for tokusatsu, and I'm basically here as a punishment for losing a bet."
"...So you got into bet with Kenji again? Dang, girl, dang... Your bad luck with that boy knows no end, huh?" Ryouta teased.
"S***w you," she cursed in English bitterly. "Why are you here anyway? It's not like you're going to just cheer up for Mana, right? Don't tell me you're here for a role?"
"Yep, suit actor."
"...Dang. Anyway... your friend? Name's Takamiya Karin, this big lug's 'little sister'... no, just childhood friend, really."
Somehow this time Karin took initiative to interact with Hiro. Perhaps it's the effect of the cat plushie on her arms. Either way... small snickers can be heard from her travel bag.

After seeing the performance, the judges then discussed on their own. The cat jumped out of Tsubaki's lap without him noticing. Ryoko smiled at Mana and give her a wink and finger-gun gestures, while Nao just smiled at her. And then here was the result.
"Okay, so... Overall you got the in-depth knowledge of the series and Kamen Rider in general... And you acted really well on your action, although you may need some practice on it. Also, you somehow can trigger the emotion on your own. You and your character do share some similarities, personality-wise, and that's nice, nevertheless." Amano commented. "Personally, I see you look slightly older than girls in your age, and I think that would fit Alice's role, considering she's a high-schooler. Maybe playing a character three years older than you may not hurt after all. Plus, your acting do really reflect Alice's overall character, as if she's part of you." Hojo commented. "I have to admit, your acting is really natural, as if you and Alice are the same person. But, like Amano said, you need to practice to improve the actions." Morimoto commented. "Overall, your acting isn't half bad. Somehow Alice reminds me to Kenzaki and you grasped both characters well. But take a note that although you do grasp the character, you can improve it in your own way, as yourself." Baki commented before turning to Sakamoto. "So, what do you want to say, Sakamoto-sensei?"
"Uhm..." Sakamoto then put his finger on his chin, while thinking about what he should say. He then came up with a comment, "Okay, so you get the actions really well. You even performed the Lightning Blast very good. But maybe, you would need to improve your acting as the judges said. I see you've tried to be natural on your acting, but it doesn't mean it's free of exaggeration. But overall, like Tsubaki-kun said, it's good. So, two words from me: Very Nice!"
And so, here was the time. A most honorable time. Tsubaki had readied his stamp as the sign of qualification. "Okay, so... would you like to lend your hand a bit?" Tsubaki asked the younger girl. If Mana gave her hand to Tsubaki, he would announce, "I, Tsubaki Takayuki, as the 8th prince of Onduru Planet..."
But then, he stopped as he chuckled, referencing the title as the meme joke that NicoNico Douga netizen gave to his character Kenzaki. He then continued the declaration, "... as award for your hard work, shall honor thee a..." He then give Mana's hand a stamp with "(0w0)" emoticon face, as the proof of qualification. "...Kenjaki Stamp! Congratulations, you get the role of Alice Tsubaki!"
The judges, Ryoko, and Nao cheered as they made applause, of course, the one who was happiest was Ryoko, due to Mana becoming her workmate. "Woo! Gratz, Mana-chin!" Ryoko cheered as she hugged the honey-eyed girl in sheer joy. The redhead was very happy that, she, Mana, and Nanami became a team of Riders. "Congratulations, Mana-kun! And just a reminder, Alice will get stronger form than King Form in the climax of the movie, even stronger than Joker. How it's gonna be done, wait until we get the scripts done. The scripts will be handed during the filming orientation." Amano said. "Which means, Nao-chan will get a role of..." Sakamoto said before he paused, and then he asked Nao, "Nao-chan, would you let me borrow your hand for a bit?" "Sure!" Nao beamed. Sakamoto then borrowed Amano's stamp before giving it on Nao's hand, marking the " ^U^ " emoticon face.
"...Ai Mako, AKA Kamen Rider Glaive II! Congratulations!" Sakamoto finished, which again, triggering the applause from the judges and Ryoko, which made Nao flustered a bit. "Wha... Thanks, Sakamoto-sensei!" Nao thanked and bowed to Sakamoto. "'N here goes da Alice-Ai pairin'." Ryoko teased with a chuckle. "And just a reminder from me, Kamen Rider Blade: The Next Fifteen takes place 10 years after the events of TV series, and the events in Missing Ace movie are retconned to fit the TV Series continuity. So yeah, all four Riders exists, along with Glaive. But Lance and Larc don't appear because their belt buckles are broken at that point. Also, Tsubaki-kun, Amano-kun, Morimoto-kun, and Hojo-kun will reprise their roles there along with the Jacaranda crew. And Hajime is still the Chalice." Sakamoto said. "Don't spoil it, sensei." Morimoto chuckled. Ryoko was really happy to see the casts from TV series would reprise their roles in the movie, especially when Mana and Nanami will act with Nao and the four actor-judges.
"Okay, next!" Morimoto said. Assuming Mana would leave the room, it was Ryouta's turn to be auditioned. Morimoto then looked at the profiles. "Noguchi Ryouta... He's offered to take a role, but he chose to be a suit actor. Can you explain why he just applies to be suit actor?" Morimoto asked Ryoko. "Well, he dun wanna be recognized juz yet, b'cuz he's still 15, 'n his mom n sisters r all overprotective at dat... But when ya see him naked, even Nao-chan's flustered." Ryoko said, when teasing Nao. "Aww, you're so cruel..." Nao chuckled with a blush slightly visible on her face. "I hope he's ready to be casted as Undead..." Amano remarked.

Mana silently heard the judges judgmentm but not before smiling at the cat that had just jumped off of Tsubaki's lap. Just like returning the same gesture to both Ryoko and Nao. It seemed that she had... passed? She would be a Kamen Rider? As she extended her hand and recieved the stamp, she beamed happily. She had done it!
"YAY! Thank you, senseis!" she happily said "I promise I'll give my all and train hard for the movie! I'll want it to be a success as much as you do!".
Just as that, she recieved an applause and shortly after, a personal congratulation from Ryoko, even with a hug, that was, obviously returned. "Thank you, Ryoko-sama! We'll be the best team of Riders ever! I just hope that Ryo-kun and Karin-nee get roles too. I'd be so happy for them!".
Undoing the hug, she heard Amano's explanation about Alice having a stronger form than King Form by the end of the movie. Uhm, so most likely that'd trigger her transformation into an Undead. She couldn't but wonder if Kenzaki would appear in the movie too, as he's technically alive by the end of the series. Obviously, she cheered and applauded for Nao too as she got the role of Kamen Rider Glaive II, but that would mean that she'd a Joker too? she could only guess at that.
Finally nodding and smiling at the last details, she bowed just after the 'Next!' before exiting the room, going back to where Ryouta and Karin currently were.
Outside, she came with the surprise that for some reason, Karin had approached Ryouta, and both of them were currently talking to a boy she didn't know. Running towards her boyfriend, she hugged him tightly, making evident the extreme happiness she felt. "I did it!" she cheered "I'm Kamen Rider Blade II, Ryo-kun! I can't believe it! I'm just so happy!".
She had got carried away, and immediately bowed an apology to the stranger. "Oh, I'm sorry! I just got a little too excited; my name's Tsumura Mana, but just Mana's alright!" she then noticed the giant, blue-and-white toonish head that was out of the boy's bag and immediately smiled at the little digimon "Aw, he's so cute! Do you mind if I hug him? Please?".
Even if the boy she had newly met complied to her request or not, the girl'd hug Karin shortly afterwards. "Well, the guys said that Ryo-kun was the next to be auditioned, but after that it'll your time to shine, Karin-nee! It'd so cool if all of us could get a role in the movie, don't you think?" but he had realized just that too, and immediately directed her gaze to Ryouta again "Oh, right! Good luck, Ryo-kun! Hopefully you'll get a really important role! I'll be cheering for you right here!".
As the personnel came to fetch the boy, she'd undoubtedly kiss him in the cheek for good luck. Those auditions were quite intense; she didn't know if suit acting was as intense as regular roles, but Ryouta'd need all the luck he could get.
