you're my joy / always remember me

So while you're busy, I'll have a party, on my own

<This recording is one of Yume Nagai's best! Where he wore his... quite unconventional but honest outfit, and sang one rebellious like song!>

Don't take this all to heart, we know it to be true that he isn't like this. But it was quite the show he did!

(This is shown to future "rebellious" contestants; Till, of Season 50, -infamous- is among of that group.)

(Lights turn on, a stage similarly built like an actual but undefined school room comes into view, with the two contestants in their respective spots.

Their icons appear:

Yume Nagai, making his way to all Aliens' hearts (literally, metaphorically and more) and up to the charts due to his mysterious and captivating existence— on the left.

Wheat, a brand new contantest, winner of rounds 3 and 4 with the way they carry themselves along with good looks and sound— on the right.

The scores are at zero.

This is

Round 5.)

<The theme is simple: school! Especially school pet uniforms. But it seems that our Dear Yume has made quite the unexpected decision to wear such an outfit*!>

<Wheat on the other is respectful, and has done the job correctly. Wearing what the theme is and seems to likely mimic those student council uniforms back on Old Ball.>

(A beat that seemed to have inspired the outfit that Yume is wearing plays—)

<I believe this was called ......Tokyo...Teddy bear? Back on Old Ball.>

<It was. And its quite the song! How misleading it is! It doesn’t even seem to talk about "Tokyo Teddy bears" at all! Only at the last part but that was in One Cover! So! ..the pets before were so silly.>

<Yeah, glad we shaped them up then.>

(And on the first beat, the contantest on the right sings the first bits, gripping their mic and singing in place;

"Lights dimming

Upon the rain-riddled fantasy. . ."

First pause.

"Measure out the size of it, sure, any pattern will do

Ends justify the seams, it’s all of the same to you."

A second pause

"Keep moving" sang from Yume who came up to the side of Wheat. As encouragement for movement? Or something else?

A small moment of the music's beat.

"You know I never tire

Of every charade

Within my burning fire

Without the hell of god

If you would finally open up the door

Then I could take you forth"

Yume sings as he dances around and dances with Wheat as if they are the smaller but non-responsive partner of sorts.

"No limits on the cost, just hear out this one wish!

More than anything, I just want you to know how I feel."

"The greatest honour, I can know." ‐ Yume

"And this pressure that just won't let go.

Can I ever change? Can I stay the same?

Fade away? But save who I am inside!

What if, what if, what if—" Wheat

"Do you want it, really really want it?

Will you take it, come along and take it?

Wanna fake it, hide your own and fake it?

Oh, it'd taunt you until the day you break it.

See yourself, what's all inside that shell?

‘Till the rotten, dying bits all within'd bloom away

By the power within me

Can't you get ahold of yourself?" - Yume, singing the last line close to a snare

"Send me a sign,

some god on high,

show me the words I need to know

So say I’m fine and clear my mind!" - Wheat. As the beat becomes more stronger and louder

"Through all the ties that bind, don't let delusions take you" - Yume

"Its how you eclipse me, leave me in the cold

how I miss the quiet, before the show

I just this got this feeling, deep down in my soul.

What do I spy with fully open eyes?" - Wheat and Yume duets.

"All that I spy are idiots and lies!" - Yume, solo

"What do I spy with fully open eyes?" - Yume, solo

"All that I spy are idiots and lies!" - Wheat, solo. With the music at an all time high beat of loud drums and bass with a guitar.

"Aah, can never get enough of the right stuff

Needles oversized to pulverize this heart beating out my chest" Yume and Wheat duet as they waltz around the chairs and desks filled with one colored cardboard 'students'.

And they continue to duet and dance til the end of it.

"You made with clear intention

a being of your invention

when i hear your inflection

I see you in my reflection

The times I'd try and conduct

All of this great design

But now you see the product

Grandeur and I aligned

Here in the halls up higher

The efforts made were hard

Throw of a stone from ire

If you would come into the great unknown

Let them take a look at all your cracks

see past your wiles and the broken glass

What do I spy with fully open eyes?

All that I spy are idiots and lies!

What do I spy with fully open emotes?

Lifeless as a fuck!

Aaah, can never get enough to hold off the curious

You must answer, you must

(Before we fall away)

You must answer, you must

You must answer, you must

(Before we fall away)

You must answer, you must

And I Hate It."

The scores are tallied up as the duet ends.

Yume Nagai | Wheat

87 Vs 76

_________

(The recording ends.)

Yume Nagai's r4fit.

Song: Tokyo Teddy Bear

One of his intresting outfits, but the one he finds the most comfort in it seem. Done and worn for a moment in recovered human history to be "Halloween".

Maybe that's the reason why he took such a approach? With the mismatched lower wear and the bandages in a certain pattern.

"Ugh, you came at a bad time

But you just crossed the line

You wanna get wild?

Okay, I'll show you wild!"

Another outfit for Yume!

~ You best step away, you deadly poison.

Alien Stage, Season 40-41 winner;

YUME NAGAI.

during one of mill's rounds, plume would break in with the help of @setupandtakedown! (SAT) i spoke a little with amia about plume's dynamics with some of the members and it was so good so fun. also a secret i chose to keep which is why i limited it to just one person's knowledge! that's done with now, though.

mill has always wanted Freedom and will do anything it takes to get it. he can be quite ruthless and animalistic.. this is partly because of the fact that he was made in a lab with the intent of him becoming the 'perfect pet-human'. an obedient animal with very little human wants or needs. unfortunately in mill's case it backfired. when he was first "born" in the labs he immediately turned to violence and killed the segyein working on the project. as a result he was booted off to The Auction House

mill has Multiple inherited traits from the other UnAction members. whether it's in his actions (posing like seidr) or his words (talking in fancy rhythmic tones like solar) or his interests (plume's drawings/art) or his manufactured personality (casual, polite, and cheery from cue)

despite participating perfectly as an idol.. mill has spent ALL rounds looking for a potential break where he can go free. i planned this to look like him jumping off the stage into water below from some kind of set.. of course this'd result in Terrible injuries that SAT would have to help him with.

mill in SAT?? crazy??

he isn't very pleasant... not at all. he's very much some scared animal and HATES his newfound dependency on the group for his health. he'd have multiple broken limbs . additionally he doesn't react fondly to plume's appearance despite the fact that they are why he got saved at all.

this is devastating for plume.. they expected a much warmer greeting / reunion. this doesn't happen. plume is So incredibly sheltered that they don't grasp the many horrible things mill has been through. they have closed their eyes far too much towards the evil in this world

plume + mill reconciliation arc?? and also mill in SAT did i say that yet. he'd be so funny as a 'rebel' however temporary that is

the issue.. is that mill still desires 'freedom' . he hates being restrained by the rules that exist within 'groups' - he isn't quite a 'freedom fighter' either.. he has been so thoroughly traumatized by the idea of being 'consumed' that he immediately shies away from anything involving presenting his art - even to the humans he is similar to. he feels as if he is 'consumed' by others for them merely taking interest in him

..... is that a billboard?

. . .

Glo-II, the lab responsible for making Mill - was successful in creating the perfect pet-human. a domesticated Thing that wont ever say no and has no dreams of freedom.

they all look like him.

passive. eerily content.

plumill set off together to go and set free those 'versions' of him - or rather.. mill wants to wish them all the peace that comes with death. perhaps that way he will never be 'consumed' again.

- cue dies as a result of pet-humans picking on him and stealing the notebook he keeps all his memories/information in. he suffers a head injury (the 2nd he's ever had. the first one they suffered by being owned by a child segyein. the segyein 'played' too roughly with cue which gave them brain damage and caused anterograde amnesia.) the 2nd brain injury was too much for cue and she suffers a seizure in the middle of the night. Plume is the one who finds her corpse.

- the entirety of UnAction (sillies) reaches their respective untimely demises. Seidr dies trying to free all of the children in the auction house. She's the oldest and longest lasting pet-human due to the fact her nurturing personality prevents many of the deaths that would occur otherwise. Her love for others is essentially only used to generate profit. She takes care of the weakest pets and they eventually get sold off. she has a strong desire for freedom - something she passes on to mill.
