[This morning before Rin could leave the house, her drone mother stopped her to try a new recipe. Ever since Luka replaced her "mother," Rin's found it hard to deny her the little things like this, and so despite her better instincts, she went ahead and ate the bright purple quiche for breakfast. It was pretty tasty, actually... but then she started to feel incredibly strange. Thinking she could sleep it off, she took a nap on the couch for a few hours....]

( Cut for RIDICULOUSLY LONG, but some prompts may contain triggers for murder or suicide. Especially the song. )

((OOC: WHEW FINALLY DONE. So, feel free to tag any prompt, just know that Lil' Slugger has dibs on killing Rin and Anon has dibs on stealing her corpse later. ...Yep. It's that kind of a day.

Also, replies to the uptown prompt may result in violence or even malicious fourth-wall-breaking existential bullshit directed toward your character, so if you choose that one, please tell me in the subject line what you're okay with and what not to do!! Thank you!! Seriously, if you read this whole thing you deserve a gold star or something. orz ))

Woooow, everything is so busy all of a sudden! Is October always like this in America? I kinda like it. We got the zombies out of the way nice and early so the rest of the month we can party, right! ♪

So, I'm going to that dance, but what I'm really excited for is Halloween. I've never gone trick-or-treating before. So all you adults, you'll have candy if you don't want to be tricked! That's the way this is supposed to work, and now that I've filled you in, there will be no excuses...

[someone try to tell Rin that the tricking part of Halloween is pretty much out of practice. She won't listen.]

Everyone else is going to be in costume too, right? It's going to be so fun... Oh, but the clock is ticking, so if you don't have a costume yet then you should call me right away so I can help you brainstorm! I heard the costume rush is insane, you don't want to procrastinate on this. ♪

[Beulah Street; backdated to near the beginning of the invasion]
[Rin knew the drones in her house before they were droned, so when she gets word that drones are becoming zombies, the first thing she does is try to secure them. The drone mother was easily locked in the basement, but for some reason, she can't find her "older brother." So she can be found wandering around the house, maybe even the neighborhood on foot.]

Latvia? Where the hell are you...! ♪

[she's starting to get worried. The longer she goes without finding him, the more she worries about the other drone in her life - her sister Luka. Could she be a zombie now? She's ready to search for them and save them if possible.]

Aah, what a mess. ♪

[Today]
[SOMEHOW, the zombies have absolutely swelled in population. I wonder how that happened? But anyway, the streets are full of them. Rin thinks it's high time for some clean-up.
So today, you will easily be able to run into her in the seat of her trademark roadroller, crunching entire crowds of zombies under its mighty wheel. If you were hiding and needed to run across the street, now is the time! I don't advise trying to hitch a ride, though. She brought a wrench for smacking any zombies that got too close to the window. She looks like she's having fun, but someone might want to finish them off for her.]

Yahoo~! ♪

[...but later she realizes she can actually do something else productive while killing things. So sometime during the mid afternoon this phone call comes]

[Phone]

Hey, guys! I found out that since I'm a robot, I am definitely 100% immune to the zombie infection. Plus, I have a roadroller and I've been smushing the bastards all day. So does anyone want me to deliver them something? I'll see what I can do. ♪

[When Drone!Rin dates, she goes all-out. Her hair is curled fashionably, she puts make-up on, and she wears ruffly dresses. This one is red with a little buckle across the waist. As she lies in shutdown mode on a chair in the bowling alley, she looks just like a doll.

Eventually something wakes her up though. Maybe it's the scent of the burgers, maybe it's the presence of someone else nearby. But anyway, she sits up, feels her hair, looks at her dress, and immediately knows something is up. But what?]

What.

[she asks flatly, finally registering the bowling alley and Lucas. Wait, Lucas? What's he doing here? She scoots over to him and ... pokes him on the cheek.]

Hey! Something's going on. ♪

[action; 947 Beulah St.]

[It seems today there are a few packages out on the front porch addressed to Rin! She was about to go out and find a way to kill some time, but this is immediately more interesting. After taking the mail inside and opening it, she finds her stuff from the Opening of Project Diva 2nd: Her school uniform, her orange guitar, and its accessories.

Well, there go her plans for today! She can be found jamming a punk song out on her guitar in the yard to test it out. She'll debut the school uniform when school is actually in session.]

( I'm begging you, please - don't mylist me! )

[yesterday was a very busy day. First Teddie hallucinating all over the place, and it turns out that was because he drank the milk. Then when she went outside, she encountered these horrors. Somehow, she's learned that's what happens if you don't drink the milk.

So, it stands to reason. She's pretty eager to see that the milk gets drunk.]

[947 Beulah St.; morning]

[Rin is the first one up - that is to say, she didn't go to sleep, but you couldn't really tell by looking at her. The milk goes on the counter. She stares at it a moment, then picks up a bottle.

She's a robot, what's the worst that could happen? She's pretty sure she can't be poisoned or drugged.]

Well, bottoms up! ♪

[Not finding it necessary to breathe, she chugs it all down at once. She barely feels the spider's little legs brushing her throat as they go down.]

See! That wasn't bad.

[oh, but look! There's a spider or two that managed to cling to her esophagus and start to scuttle of her mouth.]

-- KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! ♪

[her scream is very loud, shrill and piercing. It wouldn't be surprising if the whole street heard it... anyone who walks in on Rin will find her batting them off her face and generally flailing.]

[Phone; about an hour later]

[Rin's managed to calm down. Maybe it was just a couple spiders, yeah? The worst was over. Now she just needed to call and address another issue - after all, she wasn't at all happy about her Len-doggy being liquidated.]

Uh, is everyone else hiding in the house yet? I have a b-bit of a question... um. ♪

Do ... pets come back to life? Someone killed my puppy, and I just. Want him -

[she's trailing off, distracted. By what, you ask? Well, the spiders she swallowed are apparently still very much alive, and have recovered from getting tossed around in her body. They're starting to crawl around in her stomach.]

- Ugh! Suddenly, I'm like...

...

No! Oh no! Oh, this is so GROSS!! Aaaghhh!! ♪

[she continues to panic. What will you do?]

[inside 947 Beulah Street, morning]
[when she was about to exit the house to play outside, Rin found a package on her doorstep, which usually means MORE CLOTHES! So, eagerly, she brings it inside. Oh, did it shake a little when she picked it up? No, her hands must have slipped. Geez, it's heavy though. Is this really more outfits?

She sets it down on the middle of the floor and untapes the lid. Out jumps this puppy, almost knocking her over.]

...Wah!?

[it takes a few minutes for her to register where she has seen this dog before...]

[Outside, early afternoon]
[It seems the puppy has taken this opportunity, before this new family buys a leash and stuff, TO ESCAPE! Rin is chasing the puppy around the house/down the street.]

Len-len! Get back here! Or sit! ♪

[he decides not to do either, because what is this place, there are things to sniff!!]

Damn it!! ♪

[Later, phone]
Hey, guess what... I got Len back~! ♪

[There is a BARK BARK! into the receiver. Rin sounds sheepish.]

Ehe ... Just kidding. That's not really true. It's just a dog that once played the role of Len. He was a lot more behaved when he was Len though. Mph...

... Speaking of which, Miku-nee, did you get anything back from a song? Or maybe it's just because I thought I was Pu-Rin a few weeks ago.... ♪

[Well, at least the puppy has gotten itself tired out and she can just sit there petting it. It's kind of nice having a Len to hug, even if it's the wrong Len... she needed some cheering up anyway.]

[phone]

This is Rin Kagamine. ♪

Um... Listen! To the people who had to put up with me the other day. I was droned, and - just - I think I must have creeped some people out. So, I'm sorry. Especially to you, Yuna, I shouldn't have said those things even as a drone.

... And Estonia too. I didn't mean to steal your brother.

Miku-nee, um.... well, you knew I'd be fine! What am I even saying.

I don't remember everyone I annoyed but that should cover it, right? ♪

[she hangs up.... and then tries to make a private phone call. She fails miserably though. How does I work wonky old technology?]

[fail filter to Souji]

Hey....

Why does Mayfield think we're dating!? That thing was so wrong. Even if we aren't boyfriend and girlfriend, we need to break up or something! Right?! Please tell me you agree. ♪

[Action; 947 Beulah]
[Rin skips down the stairs from her bedroom, finds Yosuke sitting somewhere, and comes over to give him a kiss on the cheek.]

'Morning, daddy! ♪

[This is normal.]

[Phone/Action]

Yay, it's America's birthday! "My country 'tis of thee~ Sweet land of liberty~ Of thee I sing~" ♪♫♪

Well, you know, if I visited all the barbecues going on, I might actually gain a pound. So today I just really want to eat an apple pie and sing lots of patriotic songs. Someone should do that with me this afternoon! I won't be available during the fireworks, hehehe. ♪

[that secretive tone is because...]

[Action; Park - Late afternoon]

[Carrying the parasol over her shoulder, Rin hurries into the park and then stops to wait with a huge smile on her face. Ask her what the rush is?

Hint: It's a date.]

[action; morning, 947 Beulah st.]

[There's a knock on L's door. Rin made him breakfast in bed - pancakes with apples and powdered sugar! The pancakes themselves may not be the best, but enough apples and sugar should make up for it, right?]

Ryuuga~ ♪ Good morning~ ♪

I made you some yummy pancakes, so I'm coming in, okay? ♪

[she doesn't realize he's droned yet.]

[Afternoon; phone]

Everyone! ♪ It's me, Rin Kagamine. Since today is Father's day, I've decided to sing a very important song dedicated to all of the wonderful men in my life. It's called KOKORO, and it's one of my best. Please listen!

( Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you... )

... Um ...

That was it... I hope you don't mind that it's over the phones. If you want to hear it in person, just ask! I'll sing it as many times as you like! ♪

(( OOC: Anyone can boss her around. ))

[Rin has not taken her first death well. When she first got to Mayfield, someone told her that she should kill herself, to accustom herself to pain. She had ignored this advice - after all, she got her robot body back! There was no reason to feel true pain, only the amount of pain necessary to deter from danger. A human's pain was unimaginable to her. But the little taste she got was enough to shake her up.

And then, every time she picked up the phone, she heard some person or other, preaching about how anyone who participated was so bad, and so horrible. For some masochistic reason, she listened to these calls. And Rin had every intent to be one of those persons, if she hadn't died. If she hadn't died, would she be regarded as a terrible person? That pisses her off. She feels like crap. She can't take it any more, and she's ready to throw a tantrum. So she does.]

[phone]

Is everyone done nagging yet? ♪ I'm getting really damn sick of it. You know what, I didn't kill anyone, and apparently you can see that for yourself somewhere so that proves it. But even if I did, you can take your judging attitudes and shove them up your asses for all I care. I bet most of you have even done the exact same thing in the past. Some way or some how, you fell for it. That's why you're so sensitive about it now! But if you act high and mighty about it, you're just being an ass. A huge ass.

They promised me I'd be together with my twin. It's not wrong for me to want to be with my other half. You got that?

....And whatever your wishes were, I know this is one that they could have actually granted! And they probably would have been more than happy to! More citizens, right? Or maybe they really did want to get rid of people, and they could have sent me home after I played their game. That would have been great! I deserve the chance to get out! But the most important thing is just being with Len! And now it's your fault that I don't get to. Especially the guy who killed me. ♪ GOOD JOB. ♪

Hate everything.

[She starts to sob, but slams down the phone before that embarrassing noise can finish.

But ... She doesn't want Ryuuga to see her cry either. So after that, she storms out of the house and gets in her newly-regained yellow road roller to drive off into the distance.]

[Action 1]

[Rin is driving aimlessly in the road roller. She isn't swerving around with road rage or anything, but neither will she stop it if someone walks in front of her. Maybe crushing someone like a bug will relieve some stress. It's one of those days.]

[Action 2]

[Rin's finally stopped at the top of Makeout Point, and having climbed onto the roof of the road roller, looks down on the town. When she thinks she's alone, she gets the urge to sing a song that matches the mood of this entire mess.]

( Antichlorobenzene: sin-cleansing type brainwashing song )

[...After she's done, she shifts into a sitting position on the roller after she's done, letting her legs dangle and watching the sky instead of the town. There's a lot to think about.]

[Ever since Rin almost won prom, she's been a lot more laid-back - albeit it's been peppered with the occasional melancholic day where she avoided people. Having so much fun - after thinking about how they weren't there to share it with her, it's really made her miss the rest of her family. Luka showing up prevented her from getting too depressed over it, which she was grateful for. But as much as Rin likes Luka, she's no Len. Once again, the cycle of newcomers died down without any sign of him.

But at least she has her computer. To make herself feel better, she's taking some time after school to absolutely cover her locker, inside and out, with printed-out fan art. She's got a pretty nice stack, and she's doing her best to find a place for all of it.

It might be slightly invading the lockers nearby, though.]

( Rin's fanart stack. In other words, picspam under the cut. No seriously. There's 9 images. )

[Rin's still campaigning for prom. It seems she's caught on that without the internet, talking to everyone at once is difficult. So she has used her regained computer + printer to create something interesting:]

[This makeshift bookmark is now EVERYWHERE. She put them in the school library, the public library, and basically any book that just happened to be lying around. Of course, the bookish types may not be so turned on by the fact that she wrote the L upside down, but isn't it a good choice of fan art? Rin's sure that with this, she can win the votes of any stupid perverts who are just voting for girls they don't know because they're hot or have the biggest tits.

... It's not false advertising!! Her append body is real, even if she hasn't regained it yet!!

And now for your daily options...

(A) It was a lot of work, getting all of that done before school started, so she's a little tired to approach people at school today. But nevertheless, at lunch she'll still be sitting at one of the middle tables, completely approachable with a few of the bookmarks lying nearby. She's just eating an orange though.

(B) After school, she remembers that she had an appointment to sing for Seiichi at the park. But she went to school in this outfit, notable for its lack of a headphone mic, and it seems she's forgotten the handheld mic it came with in one of her classrooms! Oh no!! She hurriedly pokes her head into all of the rooms, looking for it. This is serious, it could actually cost her a vote!

(C) Once again, Rin's singing in the park. By some miracle, she beat him there even with the lost mic! The song and dance she'll do for practice on her own is the one linked in option B, "Melancholic". If she sees Seiichi or anyone else for that matter, she'll wave at them when she finishes]

Hello! ♪ May I sing for you?

[and later that day, she picks up the phone]

This is Rin Kagamine. I'd like to thank everyone who's given me their support so far! ♪♫♪ Voters, good job~ Revolution~ Let's unite, all of you, my Kagamine family~ ♪♫♪

Hehehe, but ... I'm really excited for the result! And the show as well, I'm happy with the songs. But that's a surprise. ♪

Oh, and everyone who's auditioning for West Side Story - let's get together? I want to make friends with my future castmates!

[Because there is no way in hell that she's not getting casted, and she knows it. Besides, performing arts people could totally vote for her at the last minute.]

[So. They don't have prom in Japan. Rin doesn't care. This is clearly a popularity contest, and she is on it like Sonic. After all, it's the first opportunity she's gotten in a while to see where she stands in terms of favor with the public. What if she's become more popular than Miku? She can't let this chance for votes slide by. Everything about prom must be perfect!!

So, you will find her:

(A) At School: If Rin doesn't know you, she really wants to now. Looking lonely at a lunch table? She'll sit by you! Are you carrying heavy books? She'll offer to split the weight with you! Just got your lunch money stolen by one of the rougher-looking teenage drone boys? She'll hand you a sweet, delicious orange, then kick that bully in the nads! Are you a teacher? Heck yeah you are getting an orange on your desk, because apples are for babies.

But if she does know you, you are sidled up to and presented with a simple question:]

Soooo... are you going to prom? ♪

[(B) After School: Rin is practicing her songs in the park. She'll be going through quite a number of them, trying to decide which one to sing at the dance... this is her chance to be seen by the entire town, she has to pick something great. You might catch her in the middle of singing what is considered one of her greatest songs; "Meltdown." She sings passionately, but after it's done, she sighs, looks into the sky and thinks aloud]

Hm... but after all, I wonder if that's the right choice for this. ♪ Maybe I should sing "Butterfly On Your Right Shoulder" instead? But then, maybe I should think of a song with a guitar solo... aaah, this is tough!

[(C) On the weekend: She's walking out of the dress store, looking indecisive. There were some nice dresses in there, but she's used to going custom-made. At the same time, she doesn't have a job yet, and both options are expensive. But getting a job sounds like a pain in the ass, and it seems to be that you can't even quit a job once you get one. She'd hate to be stuck in that kind of a mess.]

Whatever happened to fairy godmothers, anyway? ♪

[PHONE: Fail!filtered to Miku Hatsune - you'd really think an AI would be better at this, but Rin is clumsy at times. And she's too preoccupied with being dramatic.]

♪ Miku Hatsune! ♪

I, Rin Kagamine, am issuing you a challenge! Will you answer to it?!

[a sigh into the phone. Rin sounds a bit less hyperactive than normal.]

Jeez, these guys never run out of energy, do they? 3 weeks of April Fool's Prank, and right after they're bringing in a ton of new people.

Len, are you out there? ♪ Hurry up and call me already. That goes for everyone else - I think some of my posters are still up, but he's a blond shota and my twin brother. If you see him and he's new and lost, you better be nice to him. That's all I'm saying about it.

Anyway... um... there's something I wanted to ask. To the people who made it inside the dairy, especially. ♪

Now that it's been revealed that this is a prank... are we absolutely sure that the electricity is powered by souls in a generator? Like, was it super real, or what?

See, I just got a computer back, and I'm trying to figure out how much I should use it. I mean, no offense, but I'm definitely going to - except I'm a Vocaloid, an android, and so I really need to know whether or not I should link myself up to it for backing up my files or whatever. I'm not cool with the idea that it could transfer electricity and I'll have someone else's soul hanging out in my body. That's just too weird. It almost ... Kind of makes me want to go back to being human. But that would be dumb. I don't want to die.

So, if anyone could help me decide, that would be really great. ♪

...Oh, and while I'm at it, there's some people I didn't get a chance to thank.

[she pauses awkwardly. She's really not used to thanking people.]

...I didn't even get your names, it was so busy...

So, the guy with the telekinesis and the lame car wall, thanks for keeping me out of trouble, and um, the guy with red eyes and a Charizard, well....

[ugh, this sounds so... but she'd better say it anyway]

T-thank you for saving me.

[she's about to say something to Sealand too, but she shuts her mouth cause there really wasn't anything good about that situation. He got hurt and she wasn't able to help because she couldn't swim. She'll just steer clear of the topic.]

Um, I think that's everything! ♪

[Today, Rin got a fairly large package in the mail. THIS MAKES HER EXCITED. She is even more excited, though, when she realizes what's inside:

It's her costumes from Project Diva 2nd! You know, that rhythm game she was in for the PSP? Oh, you don't know? Well... you just may be about to find out...]

[Phone]

Kyaaah! ♪ I got some of my stage outfits back!

... Well, some of them are a little flashy for every day life, but - hey, I don't think I mind! The winter clothes from the 50's are still cute on me, but it's nice to wear something custom isn't it? Ehehe, I can't wait to put on every last one of them! ♪ ♪ ♪

[Needless to say...]

[This week, she's going to be showing off her old!new duds. She's almost got one for every day! Are you ready for this?

Wednesday, she enters the school just like the video - throws open the doors and strikes a pose. This epic swagger continues on; the (drone, or alternatively, just strict) teacher's desk receives the same treatment as the bar as she sits on it and dances. SCREW THE RULES, I HAVE HAIR EXTENSIONS!

Thursday, she wears this much more subdued outfit to detention. She sticks her tongue out at whatever teacher is in charge of watching her and makes goofy faces at them when they turn their head away. But might actually work on some homework once she gets bored of that. And once she gets bored of homework (quickly), she'll look around for someone to pass notes to.

Friday, she goes about her business less conspiciously - this dress speaks volumes by itself, right? After school, she goes to the gym and practices singing and dancing the number in the video. ...Minus the second Rin, of course.

Saturday, she doesn't want to stay at home with the drones, so she can be found wearing this lovely coat and playing in the snow. Except, somehow she ended up making Takoluka in the snow instead of a snowman. Maybe it's because there wasn't enough snow to build a taller snow-thing, but she is carving out some snow-tentacles with a stick and she thinks it looks pretty good. It doesn't.

Sunday, Rin can be found at the roller rink, skating very carefully at first. It seems she's a little inexperienced at this...

She got two other outfits, but they were swimsuits, so she'll save them for the summer.]

[so, at the suggestion of another girl called Rin, this Rin is going out to hang up posters in strategic locations. She has not touched anyone yet, so she is currently free of the cooties! But wouldn't it be a shame if that continued? So:

A. You notice this poster outside the high school, grocery store, library, bakery, flower shop, or record store:

B. Rin has just dropped her stack of posters and they're blowing around in the wind! She runs after them, but will you help? But wait - you risk the classic trope where you both pick up the item at the same time and your hands touch!

C. The music in the background is starting to get to her. She can't help but sing a song during the walks between poster-hangings! Can you resist this siren's call?]

( Visuals and Lyrics )

((OOC: I might use icons from

su_su_su_su from now on. Because they are blushier and very cootiesy.))

[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! ♪

Hello, everyone! Happy Holidays! I'm Rin Kagamine, 14 years old, and I've just arrived in Mayfield in the past week. ♪ At first I thought this heartbeat was a new feature of my append, but as it turns out, I'm human now, so I'd better stay out of trouble like everyone said. I thought I'd better get my introductions in before the season becomes a downer. ♪

Oh, I guess since it's the 1950s and it's America and there aren't any computers, some of you won't know who I am? Then I'll say it proudly! I'm a Vocaloid from Crypton Future Media in Japan. That means I'm a humanoid machine with perfect pitch. ♪ I sing, dance and act! So please feel free to come to me sometime if you are in need of talent. I live on 947 Beulah Street. I'm not the only Vocaloid here, but I'm the best one! I'm really looking forward to meeting everyone, especially any fans! ♪

But before that, I thought I'd sing a Christmas song for everyone. One that's way better than that stupid radio's so give it a listen!

[She takes a breath (weird, how she naturally knows to do that...) and begins to sing. Japanese characters may hear it in their language, but for everyone else, it will come out translated. Mayfield's good like that, breaking language barriers and all.]

( ♫♪♫♪♫ )

[and she finished singing, smiling gently.]
