[Rin has noticed the sudden incoming wave of newcomers. Suddenly, she's very excited to pick up the phones when they start ringing!

... And subsequently, pretty disappointed most times. So sorry, newbies, she probably listened to your messages and then hung up on you. It's nothing personal, but she's starting to get frustrated. Frustrated enough to whine over the phone, anyway. (Jeez, that was quick.) ]

When is Len going to get here?! There's already Miku-nee, and myself, so he should show up this time!! I'm supposed to have Len with me. And really, I'm getting sick of all these false alarms! It doesn't look like they'll stop any time soon either... oh, no offense to the newcomers though, you don't know any better so I forgive you. ♪

[Suddenly, a thought occurs and she starts basically talking to herself.]

Wait - ♪

What if he doesn't know better? Maybe he hasn't figured out the crappy old phones yet?

[oh yeah, the phone! This is a good opportunity.]

Hey! If anyone sees a blond boy with spiky bangs and a pony tail, you'll tell me where he is, right? Right? He's my twin, I reaaaally want to see him again! ♪

Your twin?

[That catches Lucas's attention.]

You know he's been brought here?

[roadroller]

W-Well, not for a fact, but I don't think it will be too long. We're a set, you know?

I'm answering the phone every time I get a call, but it might not be enough... ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[Lucas's smile goes a little crooked at that, not that Rin can hear.]

Um.

Well. My twin's never come here. I don't know if that helps . . .

[Even though he's dead. But that doesn't seem to bother the town.]

[roadroller]

Eh? Lucas, you have a twin too? ♪

[she's surprised about that, but with what he's saying, I guess it's obvious why she couldn't tell...]

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We weren't identical, but we might as well have been. The only difference was our hair color.

[roadroller]

That's sort of like us. With me and Len, the only difference is our gender. ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I know it's silly to say, but I don't know how people manage without twins. Or without any siblings. I don't think my life would have been at all like it was.

[roadroller]

Hehehe, that is kind of silly. ♪ I agree, though. People without twins don't know what they're missing, and for only children that goes double! I have a twin and other kinds of siblings, so I'm pretty lucky.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

It was just me and Claus. I guess that made us even closer . . .

Well. It's not that I hope he comes here, but I guess . . . I guess I hope you can go home to see him soon.

[roadroller]

Well, it's okay. If I have to be stuck here, he'd want to come too, that's just how it is. ♪

But your way is good too. I'm gonna be mad if I disappear from the rankings because of this, but at least Miku-nee's here too so it's not that bad....

Geez, who could be topping the charts now, Gumi or something?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

Sorry? What rankings are these?

[roadroller]

Oh! The Vocaloid Weekly Rankings. ♪

They're how you find out which Vocaloid is the most popular! ♪ And Miku-nee and I are big-time rivals.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

You mean you compete to see who sings the best?

[roadroller]

Pretty much! ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

If you're both robots, though, can you ever really change how well you sing?

1/2

[roadroller]

Sure! ♪ Lots of different people write songs for us, so some producers make us sound better than others. There's always room for improvement!

And Len and I just got an append, so our voices are better than ever! ♪ It's my chance to get ahead...

[roadroller]

... Or would have been. ♪

Geez, that's a little annoying, actually.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I see. So it's more about how carefully other people spend their time using you as best they can . . .

[roadroller]

Mm, more or less. ♪

[basically, they're like musical instruments in and of themselves.]

Oh, I think we got a bit off topic though. Why don't you tell me about your twin? ♪ Sounds interesting.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

My twin?

[He'd thought the topic was hers.]

Claus wa -- is, um. Well, he's got red hair, but otherwise, he looks exactly like me. I'm not sure what else to say . . .

[roadroller]

No, you said that already. What is his personality like? ♪ Are you two of a kind?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

[Lucas shakes his head and smiles a little, although Rin can't see it.]

No. We're pretty opposite. I was always a lot more shy . . . I stuck around our mom a lot. Claus was really outgoing and energetic.

[roadroller]

Oh, I see. Len can be kind of shy too, although he'd never admit it. ♪

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

You both perform a lot, right? Can you really be shy doing that?

[roadroller]

Hmm.... that's the wrong kind of shy, I think! ♪

But between you and me, he's not always the most confident about his voice either.

Anyway, he's not willing to admit how adorable he is! That's pretty shy, right? ♪
