The two of them found their way back to a back stage area, behind the main stage, where they would all soon be introduced to the crowd. The others were gradually finding their way back there. Rin led Emi to Alexandrine, currently talking to another girl. Another familiar face to Rin, the Rose Fairy. Alexandrine looked and waived them over. “This is her, why I’m here today. The source of the stories you called me to investigate.” The gestured to Emi. “The other is one we found completely by chance.” Jumi turned and offered her hand to Emi. “The Rose Fairy, Jumi Kuromori. Member of a team in one of the neighboring territories. Alexandrine has told me a little about both of you. Thanks, for giving her motivation. She already looks much better than she did even a few days ago.” Alexandrine was still far from her old self. But she had improved a lot, and Jumi was grateful to the new girl for helping there, intended to invite both of them into the new world they had started to explore.

Rin was sure there was less…wholesome material available. But that you had to ask specifically about it. Sometimes drawings, or animations. A few of the girls allowed nude pictures of themselves. Outright pornography, involving the actual girls did not exist…probably. It was not the sort of thing that would be officially made, but perhaps there was a little bit hidden in the darker corners of the internet. Drawings of Emi, herself, like that. It came with the territory. She had seen them for other girls. Tried not to overthink it. She did think the food would probably simple. “Should we look for Alexandrine? Get ready for the crowd?” Maybe it was time. Mentally prepare themselves. Next time they were out here, it would be with the crowd. Interacting with a number of fans…eventually choosing a few to take back. See what happened.

Rin assumed it was only if they tried to get more serious about singing, or started producing some of that merchandise that they might get anything like a manager. Of course they did their most important work on their own, behind the scenes. Most of this they would probably either be on their own or with a little help from Alexandrine. At this point most of the material was set up. It was just waiting for the official opening time. Rin led Emi through the various stands and exhibits, looking for anything else that might be interesting. She tried to ignore the strange feeling she got, looking at Hikaru, not wanting to admit what it might have been, what it might have meant. They passed a few other things mixing public and private aspects, including a small cafeteria where a fan or two might be able to have a lunch with them. "Think we should try some of this stuff as a pair? This the private meetings, pictures with fans?" It was for the happiness of the fans. Some this were almost on the level of one time dates. The idea also being to let the Magical Girls and Knights have some fun, without breaking their cover. A little break in the fighting to have some happy interactions, optionally pleasure. Rin wondered how far she and Emi were going to go here, with who. It was good for Emi, showing her more people could accept her. By the time this was over, she could see the public looking at them like a pair. Part of a larger team, but rarely apart. There was some truth to that, maybe it would be fun to reinforce that image. Though she did not know where it might lead them.

Perhaps they would do something. It was hard to say. Hikaru thought the two girls should do fan meetings on their own. Be more interesting that way. They probably had much to learn, especially if he had guessed right about the true nature of Emi's friend. The two of them were likely to shine a bit and get extra attention as new girls. Shine more without someone like him around. "Maybe we will, but if you two want to see or do anything else, before the crowd comes in, you should move quick. You don't have a lot of time left." Rin nodded in response. "It was an honor to meet you. I hope to meet you again." She glanced to Emi, seeing if she wanted to say anything else before last minute exploring. Though she was not sure what else they might find.

Hikaru did not have a wife currently. It was not something she did especially often, but there was no harm in spending a little time with some of the girl fans, especially to confirm if they had the power. This girl with Emi, was her power discovered in a similar fashion? If so, he guessed what might have happened. What Rin was. “I am here, because it is best the people see I am still active, out there to protect them. I won’t be involved in many activities though. A few private meetings. Telling stories here. Maybe a few other things.” He did a personal even, give some fans some basic sword training/practice. He was not going to be active as the pair of girls though. He studied Rin a little more. Maybe those private meetings would be good for her. “You two are young. You should experience some of it all while you are here.” Then a glance to Emi. “This is a good place for you to establish yourself. Become a real hero. Learn there is no shame in your blood.” She could hopefully gain some confidence. A step to a happier life. Her non-human biology was a complication, but he felt she could find a way to find a healthy life even with that.

Rin silently watched, but recognized the figure. The Knight known as the Sword of Maxim. Supposedly from a long line of Knights. In person, she found herself strangely impressed by him. He looked so strong, powerful. Apparently Alexandrine had introduced Emi to him already, though she could only guess the details. She let the two of them do the talking for now. Hikaru of course still hoped Emi would agree to be his bride, but he would not bring that up here, unless she did first. He looked over her ‘true’ form, but did not stare. He glanced at the other girl too, he could see the bond between them. That was good, team members should be close like that. He was amused, a little impressed by her offer. He had a small smile as he replied. ”Now you are trying to recruit already?” There was a reason he was not already on Alexandrine’s team, despite being in her territory. “I may work with you from time to time. But traditionally my family has been my families team.” He was semi-solitary, would sometimes help others, sometimes fight on his own. Would these two girls do what Emi had hesitated to do with him? He was not bothered by Emi’s earlier rejection, but was a little curious. He would probably have a few girls before the convention was over. But if they found another girl, maybe Emi understood. “This is an ideal place to find more members though. Pay attention to the fans around you. If you feel the potential in them, there are ways to verify. Though it would be easier to test boys for the two of you.”

She would someday get a chance for Rin at least. A Ryan version would have to be handmade though, or custom made at least. She did not intend to let the public know her secret identity was a boy. As for the room, well, he could at least sneak her in some time her parents were not home. She did not have completely pure intentions. But she figured there would be no harm mixing a little sex in with more innocent stuff. She led Emi around more of the area. There was a mini-museum as well, giving a bit of information about all the established teams. A little about who they were, but not the civilian life, except for the few who did not bother to hide their identities. Hikaru was here, looking over them. Transformed, in all his glory as a Knight. He looked over the two girls, one familiar, one not. There was no doubt who the bunny girl was of course. “You have come to experience all of this?” He glanced to Rin, then to a picture of Alexandrine and her old team. It was a few years old. Alexandrine was standing off to the side, but with a smile on her face, before the pain. “The Diamond Sorceress is putting a new team together? I wish you all success and happiness.”

“Someday maybe I’ll find a way to get you into my room. Show you my collection.” Rin was actually unsure how money from these sales was spread around, with secret identities and all. She assumed they did not get special bank accounts in their alias’ names. Maybe there was an agent or middle-man of some sorts. It was something Alexandrine could explain to them…speaking of which. She looked through the merchandise. A bunch of familiar faces, but she kept searching, until she found a small miniature plush of Alexandrine, of the Diamond Sorceress. Knowing they would be selling stuff like this, she had brought some money along. She bought it and handed it to Emi. “Keep it, it’s yours.” She offered it to Emi as a present. It would not be a big deal to carry the one little thing around.

Rin smiled at the sight of Emi, fully revealed in transformation. She meant everything she said about Emi’s beauty. Taking the hand tightly, she walked her friend, ally, and teammate back into the main area. They passed a few shopping areas with various merchandise for the various girls and Knights. Dolls/action figures, drawings, games, costumes, pictures, books and movies, some that claimed to be based on true events, some fictional stories of real people, songs sung by the Girls, like they were going to. “…Next time they have one of these, they will selling stuff like this for us…”. Rin realized they looked the material over, stuff she had quite the collection for at home and probably would have bought more, if she was here as a fan.

It probably was for the best. If the weapon was part of the transformation it would be one thing. Emi could try to claim it was, but this was for the better. She nodded with a smile about the cloak though. “Yeah! You’re a beautiful girl. Don’t be scared to let people see.” She took Emi’s hand and led her back the way they came. “We can leave them in the van, if there isn’t a better place to put them.” She thought she saw some lockers too, on their way out here. She hoped to be quick, see if there was anything else worth trying by themselves. It was getting closer to the time the doors would be opened to the public. All the Girls and Knights would be gathered briefly at that point. Make speeches, introduce new people, that sort of thing. But they would break up to interact with the fans in various ways.

I do have to take time to read that thread. Someone or a group could potentially come to her rescue. But who and how depends on the circumstances. If this is happening before/during/after the convention.

Rin listened to Emi as they sung. Keeping their pace in unison, singing at a tone, she hoped an audience would hear both of them next time. She made small movements as she went, trying to mix what felt right and what an audience might want to see. It was a little weird, but she wanted to try to look ‘sexy’, at least a little. Swaying her hips, other little things. It was part of the disguise. She wanted the fans to think she had always been a girl, to come off as natural. She would have asked Emi for advice, but Emi only experience there in certain ways. She had not had a life where she could give advice here. When it was over, she set the microphone down, wrote the song on the sheet. Then hugged Emi. “Thank you, Emi! I know that’s not easy for you. But we can do it in front of an audience together. I want to keep doing things like this with you.” She wanted to make this as fun for Emi for Emi as possible. Hoped to do a bunch of things together.

“Just try to sing along with me. I’m not exactly a pro either.” Rin’s singing experience was limited to music classes in school, and occasionally casually singing along to random music like this. She also had to get used to singing as a girl. She switched the song to a non-vocal vocal version and reset it. She stood at Emi’s side. “Just let your body move how it wants as you sing, whatever feels natural.” They were playing as idols of sorts. It fit somehow, with how they were dressed and everything. It was good to put on a show for the audience. Nothing elaborate, but ‘dancing’ of a sort along with it was what a girl should do in occasions like this. That was what Rin thought at least. Though it reached the point in the song, she began singing before she could say anything else. It took a few lines, but she quickly adjusted to getting the right tones, singing as a girl. Not as an expert, but not weird sounding either.

Rin kept digging through the list, for something that seemed good for both of them. “Maybe this?” The cursor on the screen was sitting on the opening of a TV a fictional story of a girl like them, but written by a Magical Girl. A story of a girl becoming a hero. Learning to fight. Making friends. Rin let a version of the song with lyrics play, in case Emi had not heard it before. Strong but cheerful, not especially fast. The lyrics flowed well, without any especially difficult potions to follow along. Rin nodded along as it played, a song she was already familiar with and enjoyed.

Started a topic for the fans, for anyone who wants to do that.

OOC: This is open to anyone. Idea being people playing minor characters, fans, boy or girl. Though some of them could potentially become more proper characters. As the opening of the convention grew closer, an increasingly large group of fans began gathering in the building. Men and women, of all ages. Here to show gratitude, meet the Magical Girls and/or Knights. They were heroes who deserved celebration. Everyone here belonged. From the girls wearing Magical Girl style costumes, to the nervous awkward young boys, to the businessmen or the elderly, some from within town, some traveling from the other side of the world. A little bit of everyone was here. Alex was a boy kind of like Ryan, but not a cross dresser. He was in love with the idea of Magical Girls, and admired their bodies. He was here to enjoy the atmosphere. Watch some of the girls give speeches. Maybe get a picture or autograph. Did he dare hope for a private meeting with one of them. He heard the stories of course, did not know if they were true. It would be an honor to be picked either way. Also incredibly unlikely. He fidgeted with his ticket in his hand. Eagerly waiting for the opening. Also occasionally admiring some of the fan girls who came in costume.

Had she misunderstood? Yes they could have fun on their own, but the whole point of the convention was to do things for their fans. But maybe they could do a little bit of both. Once the crowd was there, the staff would be helping with the setup. But they could do it manually too. Rin started scrolling through a list of songs on a computer screen with one hand. Offered Emi a microphone with the other. “We can get some practice now if you want, so we sing together better later.” Just help Emi get used to it, help the two of them perform together better. If Emi was up for it, this might help her be a little more comfortable later.

That was a different sort of play, enjoyable enough. It was hard to judge if she had any with sex. Had any knowledge of it at all, if she did not. It was perhaps worth watching her, see how she reacted to him. But perhaps there was another way to bond. “You will have to wait a little while to play with people like that. But if you are hungry, perhaps I will accompany you. Find something to eat with you.” He was not bothered with eating in such a fashion. It seemed the easiest way to get her a little closer to him as well. “We just have to be a little quiet about it. Your playing should be a surprise, don’t want any of them to see us too soon.” A short trip to the surface perhaps, just the two of them, with some hunting. He would get more of a sense of what she was like, and maybe she would enjoy it.

We never did get our characters approved for a story like that in that other club. Ryan/Rin and Emi may get to explore another side of being Magical Girls. I’ll probably start a separate thread in the waiting area, for random fans. Anyone who wants to play random boys/girls who end up with Ryan and Emi. The ones I write there, could end up with them or someone else too.

Rin had to admit she was a little nervous about doing it too. But the two doing it together would probably help. Yeah, they would probably not be that great, but it was worth trying and maybe fun after they got over the unease. Though perhaps the bunny body would draw attention and interest in Emi there. She walked up to a sign up sheet on stage and put their names in for the later morning. Several other names were already on the list. “Any recommendations for what we should sing?” Of course it would be better if it was something they both liked and knew the lyrics to. Just about any song could be chosen.

What did she want to do? Even with a few days to prepare, being here as one of the girls was different from being a fan. There were a few times they had to be in specific places at specific times. But they had a lot of freedom. They could interact with their fans in various ways. Multiple things were being set up, with the various booths. They could put on various shows for their fans. Singing, photos, dress up like a girl or Knight and pretend to be their ally, in a staged event, plenty of other options. The girls or Knights even had a lot of freedom to make up their own personal ideas. She paused at a stage microphones and other sound equipment were being set up. “Maybe we can try singing together?” It felt like a girly thing to do. A pair of idols. Most likely just a little fun. Though there were benefits. If they did well enough, it was possible to make a little money off it. As much as she did not want to be a celebrity, it would be the easiest way for someone like Emi to make money legitimately. Though Rin did not seriously expect either of them to be good enough for that.

Rin squeezed Emi’s hand, trying to reassure her. They were safe here. No one would dare attack a place like this. Emi would no longer be misunderstood either, an ally, not an enemy. “Don’t be scared to show yourself later. You will be accepted here. You will see everyone love you. No one will care what you look like.” At least while transformed, no one would be bothered by that stuff, if anything she would probably get a massive popular reaction. ”You might even make a few friends. We all get to pick a few people from among the fans, take them somewhere quiet, talk to them, get to know each other a little. I was hoping to get picked like that by one of the girls, when I thought I was coming here as a fan.” She did not say anything about the rumors about what happened in those rooms. They were just rumors, she doubted they were true, at least most of the time.

The area was still mostly empty at this point. The only people allowed in this area were staff, doing some finishing setup, and Magical Girls or Knights, some of which were standing around, either watching or talking with each other. A few glanced at the two girls, but did not make a big deal out it. They were all the same. At this point there were early arrival fans, but they were kept waiting in a separate area, until the events officially started. ”Let me know if anything here looks fun, I’d like to try a lot of it out with you.” It was finally a chance for them to do something casual, as friends, as a pair of girls. Rin still did not think of herself as one. But she had made the offer Emi earlier and think she could probably have fun doing some ‘girly’ things with Emi. Just have fun as friends somewhere Emi could hopefully relax and be herself.

Rin watched the transformation, keeping track of every detail, admiring Emi’s body as she did. She could not get enough of looking at the bunny girl, imagining what they had done. What they might do. “…Beautiful…”. She said with some awe, seeing the final transformation. Before the cloak went back on. A little disappointing, but she understood. Alexandrine opened the door, Rin took Emi’s hand and led her out. “Don’t worry. I won’t leave your side. This is a debut for both of us, we’ll do everything together.” Of course, she had no idea what that actually meant. All the things that might happen. ”You two should explore, have fun on your own. But I’ll be there if necessary.” Alexandrine did not want to spend the whole time with them. But she would at least be there when they introduced themselves to the public, other events with a big crowd. Maybe give them advice in some other cases. But she thought the two would have plenty of fun on their own.

They were getting there a little early. Rin and Emi the chance to look around a little before the crowds really showing up, get a sense of the layout and things they could do. Probably meet some of the others. Emi would see Hikaru again. Other than that, it would be new faces. Familiar faces and names in many cases for Rin, but the first chance for her to meet them in person, as one of them. They turned into a side lot, barricaded off from most of the building. Alexandrine was already transformed as well. So there were no questions from anyone watching who came in. A few Knights watched at the gate. Making sure no one tried to sneak in. This was a private area, only for them. She pulled into a parking spot, away from many cars. She turned to Emi, put a hand on her hand. "Are you ready to do it? You don't have to this moment, but you can do it privately here, if you want. You have no enemies in this building. No one will hurt you." The past was a misunderstanding. She would not be treated badly here. Alexandrine's presence helped, but even without that she was safe. "You can come back here, if you want to stand or need room." Rin offered, eager to finally see Emi transformed. Would she be more bunny like? She was also aware that Emi might be wearing something much more revealing, but that would not stand out here. Neither she or Alexandrine had revealing forms, but a number of the girls did.
