Tomo straightened the black tie around his neck. He would have preferred to wear an orange shirt underneath his black blazer, but costume design told him not to. Apparently orange was a garish color, but he begged to differ. Regardless of his sense of fashion, or lack there-of, Tomo took a spot in front of the karaoke box. The owners had asked for a Mochizuki or five to perform in front of the building in order to drum up business, and Tomo was volun-told to do it. Normally he would have had his twin Tama at his side. However, she was off traipsing across who knows where, doing who knows what. Instead, a young woman from the troupe was his partner in song. She was dressed in a female business suit, with a skirt and fedora. Her long brown hair came down to her hips, and rivaled Tomo's in beauty. She was a part-time hire, used during times when most of the troupe was away on tour.
The girl named Tariko gave Tomo an overly cheerful giggle. "Are you ready Tomo-chi?" Tomo resisted scowling at the nickname, and instead gave a smile. "Of course Tariko-san." From within the building, music played, exiting through the doors and out into the streets. It was a song Tama and Tomo were known for in their older age, Perfect Crime. It was a much more provocative song when performed by twins, but still rather sensual between any two people. Tomo deepened his voice more than normal, to ensure that he fully played the role of male. Too often he found himself as the female, and he needed to prove to both himself and others that he was every bit a man as his brothers.
Once they were finished, Tariko giggled to the crowd that had formed as they clapped. "If you wanna be like us, come sing your heart out at Bokaroitsu! Only 1100 yen! For today only, a lucky person will be chosen to sing with THE Mochizuki Tomo!" Tomo stood there for a moment, blinking wildly as squeals from the fan girls filled the air. They rushed into the building, frantically pushing and shoving those in their way in hopes of being that lucky one. Once most of the crowd was either in the karaoke box or walking away, Tomo whipped his head towards Tariko. "W-what?! That wasn't in the contract!" She gave a wink. "Kimiki-sama asked me to do it." Tomo lightly grumbled about his sibling as Tariko walked away. "Have fun Tomo-chi! I'll expect my share in the mail." Tomo sighed heavily as the full weight of the situation hit him. He was going to be stuck in a karaoke room with someone...alone. If it was a crazed fan girl, there was no telling if his virginity would remain intact. He stood outside the building, contemplating his next move. He could just walk away, but if Kimiki had truly made a deal with the owners, it would look bad on the troupe if he didn't comply. Sighing again, he waited for a sign to tell him whether to go in and accept his fate, or leave this problem behind him.
