The Idols' Final Shot (w/ Shirayuki)

[BabyGirlClaire]

"I am putting them on you!" Li-Hua retorted, "Not myself! I still have not yielded to-" Li-Hua looked at the padding between her legs, "Well, I have not yielded entirely to Ms. Tomoka's ridiculous idea!" Li-Hua placed the sticker onto Yuriko and then clawed at the sheet to get another, but as it turns out, peeling off a sticker with one hand while being flung about was a difficult task. "And I would gladly take a bullet for Maupassant anyways! A diaper and stickers is nothing!"

Mana nodded slowly, 'Weird to take a bullet for a dude who is already dead, but to each their own, I guess...' she thought. "I mean, she's in her office, but I don't know why she isn't coming out of there..." Mana said.

Ms. Tomoka was in her office, writing down plans, advertising ideas, and waiting for the graphic designer she commissioned to send her their new group logo so she can start rebranding their SNS pages. After waiting for a while, she received an email from the artist with their group logo. "Hm, if they don't like it, it will still be a good placeholder," she mused. She was too focused on her work to hear the commotion just outside the door.

[Shirayuki]

“Doesn’t seem like it anyways!” Yuriko groaned as she reached over and grabbed for all the rolls of stickers there, intending to hold the ‘Epic climatic duel’ in a stalemate. “Ah, from what you’re saying here, you’re happy wearing diapers now, aren’t you? Just needed a bit of peer pressure, huh?”

“Well, I think we’re mostly done here! Right?” Neneka stood back, looking at her own ‘creation’ as Hwa observed what they did with a small wince. It was… okay, it wasn’t something she liked, but if the others are happy with it, it’ll be fine, right?

[BabyGirlClaire]

Li-Hua paled at the accusation before coughing to try to regain her composure. "That is not what I- No! I- No! A bullet isn't something to enjoy! The same goes for this- ridiculous outfit! I- I am not happy to wear diapers!" Li-Hua stammered. She gripped the sheet of stickers in her hands in frustration, upset that Yuriko was getting under her skin this badly today.

"I'd say so," Mana said as she looked over Hwa, before giving two thumbs up. "Looking alright, Hwa-chan!" Mana said with a small smile as she noticed Hwa wince a little bit.

Suddenly, Ms. Tomoka burst out of her office, "Alright girls, the SNS page is all done! Now for some- What are you two doing?" she suddenly changed from a cheery tone to confusion as she looked over at Yuriko and Li-Hua.

[Shirayuki]

“Really? I figure the look fits you, no?” Yuriko snickered, though quickly tried to recompose herself with a light blush as she turned towards the newly entered Ms Tomoko, clearing her throat uncertainly “A-Ahem! Someone here wasn’t too happy with your… idea, so I taught them otherwise.” She winced as she said those words out - was it implying that she herself actually wanted to go along with this!?

“Really…” Hwa looked at her own sticker covered padding, then back at the two with a soft smile “Thank you, everyone… though I’m not sure if… you know.” Her voice trailed off as Ms Tomoka bursted into the room, Neneka’s ears perking up as she turned towards their manager

[BabyGirlClaire]

Ms.Tomoka was really surprised, as it was usually Yuriko who was less cooperative and Li-Hua who more-so went along with her ideas. Ms. Tomoka let out a small chuckle, "Hm, it's good to see that you're fully on board with an idea for once, thank you," she said as she walked up to the two and pat Yuriko on the head, happy that she came up with something Yuriko liked. She then squatted down to talk to Li-Hua, "Li-Hua, get off of her. You're disturbing the offices downstairs, and you might scuff your dress." Li-Hua huffed before unwrapping her arms around Yuriko's leg and standing up.

"Now you two girls apologize to eachother," Ms. Tomoka said before turning away, leaving Li-Hua to glare at Yuriko.

She moved on to Neneka, Hwa, and Mana, looking at their decorated diapers. "Well, in comparison to those two," she jabbed a thumb back at Yuriko and Li-Hua, "These diapers are works of art. Good job, girls," she praised as she pat Hwa and Mana with her two hands before moving onto Neneka and doing the same.

"Now, first we want some individual and group pictures to help set up the website, and then we are going to do a few promotional videos for ticket sales..." she explained.

[Shirayuki]

“….Uh, thank you.” Was all that Yuriko managed to say, a rather unpleasant edge to her voice as she didn’t know whether to get pissed off or be embarrassed at what she was doing, clenching her teeth. Hey - at least Li-Hua was going to be taking the brunt of the hit, and that was sufficient for the girl. Until she was told to apologize, that is.

“Hey, this whole thing started because a certain someone didn’t like the whole diapers thing!” Yuriko blamed, though really; the same could be said against herself. “Why am I the one that had to apologize?”

“Thank you! And… Ooh, group photos?” Neneka asked curiously, though Hwa let out an exasperated sigh - she really didn’t want this to be posted all over the net, but… maybe it was their only chance.

[BabyGirlClaire]

"No, this whole thing started because she dared dismiss the works of-"

"Oh for the love of- don't tell me this was over those dead people," Ms. Tomoka turned to Li-Hua. "And Yuriko, because it's just basic manners and conduct," she said to Yuriko.

Li-Hua was about to protest, but Ms. Tomoka legitimately sounded disappointed and annoyed. Besides, Yuriko was right that Li-Hua was the main instigator. And so Li-Hua's shoulders drooped and she looked downcast, "... Yuriko, I'm sorry," she said, looking down at her feet.

Ms. Tomoka turned to the three with a sigh, "Yep! So we should be heading upstairs to the photo studio," she said to Neneka, since that was where all the cameras and backdrops were. She was happy Neneka, Hwa, and Mana were on the easier side to work with compared to Yuriko and Li-Hua. Ironically, the two oldest members were the ones who butted heads and squabbled like children.

[Shirayuki]

Honestly, it kind of made her feel oddly… embarrassed, and even slightly annoyed at Li-Hua’s apology. Just like that!? But there wasn’t much she could do in her position anyways, and with the manager standing right here… “I-I’m sorry as well.” Yuriko slowly muttered, a rather awkward situation at the hand.

“The photo studio?” Both Neneka and Hwa exclaimed in unison - the difference being that while one of them is rather excited, the other was seemingly a little annoyed and even a little upset at the prospects. Hwa reallly didn’t want to do this again, but it seems like she’ll have to be at the forefront once again.

[BabyGirlClaire]

Li-Hua's eyes narrowed at Yuriko, a silent sign that this is not over yet. To be honest she was disappointed Yuriko did not decide to instigate further, as that would give her the excuse to continue.

"C'mon Hwa-chan, some more enthusiasm would be great!" Ms. Tomoka said. She usually had other employees do this, but the employees under her leadership were laid off or jumped ship when they saw that her management was a sinking ship. "So come on, to the third floor!" she said as she opened the door and left the room.

Mana tugged on her skirt for a small bit before biting the bullet and following Ms. Tomoka out the room.

[Shirayuki]

“Fine, I’ll be… I’ll try.” Hwa sighed as she stood up from her position, stretching her arm out as she yawned, straightening out her dress as best as she could… and more importantly, hiding the diaper from anybody that happened to be walking around - she accepted to wearing it on stage, not off stage!

“Alright, now, everyone come now. This is our chance to begin hitting it big!” Neneka grinned as she too headed out, with a rather unsatified Yuriko trailing right behind her as she stole a few glances at Li-Hua
