For SRW Uni if all goes well

[1]

[A battle has ended and there's a new face/faces at one of the bases... a former enemy who changed sides mid-battle, and in fact it's you! Some may view you with suspicion, but there's one girl anxiously waiting for you with this huge grin on her face and a few bits of rice on her cheek from her hastily-consumed lunch. No way was she going to let even food get in the way of greeting you!]

Hello! It's great to see you off of the battlefield... I always knew whatever differences we had we'd be able to work through them!

If you never caught my name when we fought, it's Hibiki! Hibiki Tachibana!

[2]

[It's music time! Hibiki's got a huge stack of CDs she's just purchased, trying through each one of them and humming along with them. There's some familiar tunes amongst them, including ones by Lynn Minmei and Tsubasa Kazanari too. And when she notices you close by, off go the headphones and she offers them to you.]

Would you like to listen? There's so many different styles being sung I'm sure you'd like one of them!

[3]

[Hibiki's far from being just a cute, friendly girl though. In the midst of battle, she's right in the thick of it, smashing her way through machines that dwarf her and singing all the while. Although...]

Uuuuuwataaaah!

[There's a clear trend in how she's going about it though. Limbs, cameras, weapons... even when a kick smashes into a Lion's midsection, it doesn't smash it concave and instead smacks it through a wall to disable it instead. Yes, Hibiki is seeing to it that she spares the enemy pilots.]

...Do you have something with guitar in it?

[Well actually mystery man...]

Now that you mention it I'm not entirely sure! I bought so many I forgot what's on a lot of them!

[It takes her some rummaging around to find one that does have guitar on it, but she's still happily putting it in the CD player and letting you give it a go.]

You like music a lot, to spend so much money on it like that.

[He puts the earphones on. Somehow they fit over that armored helmet.]

...That's different from what I expected. More... cute.

Well, Lydian Acadamy's really cheap, and actually a whole bunch of these came in special edition bundles or compilations!

But... what did you think they'd be like?

[She turns her head quizzically, looking down at one of the CD cases. Certainly looks bouncy and cutesy enough.]

When you talk about guitars, I think of something like this.

[He raises a finger, possibly pointing at the speech bubble from which the music comes out. Don't question the logistics of that, assume chibi OVA rules.]

Ah! I know that song really well... they had it in one of the movies Genjuro showed me!

But... I really haven't heard many songs with guitars like that in it though...

It's okay.

[Awkward pause.]

...This one's not bad either.

I knew you'd like it Mister...

[But unfortunately the name of this helmeted music aficionado escapes her. And frankly she can't remember if she never heard it before or if she just forgot.]

A-ah... Mister West?

[With that outfit and knowing that cowboy movie, he'd at least take that as a nickname, right?]

You can call me... The Cyborg With No Name.

[He stands proud, as if waiting for dramatic gust of wind to flap his coat, Unfortunately it's indoors, and that obviously doesn't happen.]

Edited 2015-01-13 05:03 (UTC)

...Daniel will do too.

... I was so close...

It would've been really cool if I'd guessed that first one though...

I wouldn't go with such an obvious nickname.

[Because the one he picked is totally original.]

Right, I can see that now! And the one you have is still really great, No Name-san!

[Chris was looking at the stack curiously, but as soon as she's asked...]

So that's why you brought all this stuff here? Don't you have enough music at your job anyway?

Besides you know I don't like this kind of thing.

But Chris, there's so many different types! And songs can be about so many different things too! I'm sure if we tried to look you could find a type that you liked.

Maybe, but you know what? Forget it. I don't want to.

[Tsun tsun tsun.]

Alright then. But they'll all be right here for you to look through whenever you change your mind!

[Not "if". And Hibiki says nothing more on the manner, just smiling and listening along to her current tune selection, happy as a clam.]

Aah! Are you too simple to even get angry or disappointed?

[Frustrated, Chris puts a CD into a player.]

I'm only doing this so it's not a waste, okay?

[Not when you're at least willing to give the music a try! Though Hibiki's curious enough to check which CD from the collection Chris picked out.]

Oy! What do you think you're doing?

[Chris quickly hides the disc behind her back.]

This is for private hearing, you're being too nosy.

I'm gonna listen on headphones, too.

[But Hibiki wanted to see if it was one she had listened to already...]

Okay...

But if you think it's really good I'd like to hear it too!

Right, right. Anyway! Don't look!

[Chris pushes Hibiki... well, not out of the room, but she pushes her away from the player. Which she proceeds to use to listen to the song on headphones.]

[The song ends a few minutes later. Chris stands there with a conflicted feeling on her face.]

[Not leaving. Pressing reply.

Then, a few minutes later, again.

And again.]

Motto! Motto!

[Look, she forgot you're there and is singing along to the song. How embarassing.]

Motto, motto!

[How embarrassing? More like how awesome!]

Motto, motto!

[It's like a little one-person concert performance now!]

Skill mai he... wh-wh-wh-whaaaat are you doing?!

I told you not to look!

U-uweh?

[Cover status = blown.]

I... thought you meant to just not look at the CD!

[Peni was trying to do her homework while the noisy other girl was rummaging aorund the pile of CDs. She looks up from her notebooks when addressed, though]

Um. Thanks, but, I already brough my own music. [The girl waves her own pair of headphones as proof of this] I'm not sure you'd like what I listen to very much...

Well it wouldn't be right to say that before I at least give it a try!

[Yeah, she's curious now.]

[Peni is a bit taken aback at that. It's a bit embarrassing to share her music. But it'd be impolite to refuse. So in the end she hands the headphones to the other girl, hesitantly.

The music in Peni's MP3's player is... probably not what one would expect of a polite, quiet wallflower like Peni, and definitely not very much like the cute Japanese pop of Hibiki. Very aggressive teenage grunge stuff with lyrics that speak of taking on the world armed and dangerous.]

Edited 2015-01-08 09:43 (UTC)

[The music does come as a surprise to Hibiki, who at first is just looking back over at Peni in confusion. But...]

It reminds me a lot of a bunch of Chris's songs!

[Peni looks at Hibiki in mild surprise at that]

Really? I didn't think she'd be the type to enjoy Chemical Weapon.

I... guess if she wants any music I can share a bit.

She'd probably never just take it though. She'd be all "I sing this kind of music enough as it is!"

[Peni nods. She knows the type]

I don't want to impose, then.

[She takes back her headphones, silently, not knowing what else to say and not minding entirely too much. Young Parker is not the most socially adept of people, wellknown genemod idol or not]

Watch your four o' clock!

[A long blue beam of energy passes overhead - hitting an enemy unit in the shoulder and ripping off its arm, which happens to be holding a weapon. This is immediately followed by a similar colored energy bolt that strikes the enemy's remaining arm and knocks the entire unit on its back.]

Geez, you make this look easier than it really is.

[The white Temjin that fired the shots shakes its head. The pilot is definitely not used to this disabling stuff.]

Thank you for still trying!

[Another grunt's leg gets bent backwards by the force of Hibiki's punch, sending it falling to the ground. Just a bit more of this...]

With the enemies I usually fight, I've never had to be this precise before...

But I'm not out of tricks just yet. Heads up!

[The Virtuaroid lobs a spiked ball the size of its hand into the air, where it detonates in a wide, almost completely circular explosion!

Instead of shockwaves and flames however, this explosion is comprised entirely of some kind of blue energy that even engulfs Hibiki, because she's nearby.

Funny enough, it doesn't do any damage to the Symphogear user, and for a brief moment, actually stuns the enemies surrounding her!]

Now!

[Hibiki let out a worried gasp as the energies passed through her, uncertain at first what effect it would have.]

... I'm... okay?

[A quick flex of her hands confirms it though, and then Hibiki springs back into action with double the effort to make up for last time!]

Right!

[She crouches down, and then springs up with all the strength in her legs, fist raised in a spiraling uppercut to smash through the mechs!]

Edited 2015-01-20 19:00 (UTC)

[Though the turncoat seems wary at first, not sure of Hibiki's course of actions - once the hug actually happens she just stands there and takes it. It feels awkward, actually.]

I do not see why are you so happy.

Corrupt they may be, I swore allegiance with my former allies. And now that oath is broken.

I am truly without honor.

Sielje-san...

[And here Hibiki'd been expecting the hug to either be returned or Sielje trying to push her away. Just taking it like that...]

I was happy because that meant we didn't have to fight you any more. And if we could work things out with you, maybe we can do that with your allies too!

You will find them more stubborn than I.

[Sielje tries to retreat from the embrace.]

Your efforts may be noble but I am afraid they are futile. Acting in concert between my and your people is... impossible.

[What a downer.]

[She says that, but...]

But we're still speaking the same language right now. And even if they're more stubborn, they grew up in the same world that you did!

So if you can reach an understanding with us, then your friends can too!

Hibiki Tachibana...

[From all kinds of behaviours Sielje did not expect this one.]

Do your spirits remain uncrushed, soaring no matter the gravity of situation?

Of course! We're the Unity Group, and Unity means like coming together because there's things we all believe in, even if we're all different. Even if things get hard sometimes, it's not right to give up on anyone.

So you insist on accepting everyone? Regardless of strength, regardless of honor, regardless of what they did?
