Atala hummed a tune as she strummed her guitar, tuning it when the cords didn't sound with the right tune. She tossed her vivid reddish brown hair over her shoulder, and smiled as she thought of the performance she would have later today. She was the opening act for another singer- it made her proud of herself, she was only 19 after all, and had started her career not more than five years ago. He debut song had been a hit, and now here she was, performing it live.

"Okay, find some guest talent. Our performance in Osaka is gonna have high expectations." Her managers voice came. Heck, she was kinda jealous of the feline pop star. There, maybe her? Maybe the mix would work..

(How do they meet?)

(Maybe she gets a call?)

(Sure- I'll make it a text)

Atala heard her phone ring as a text popped up from her manager. She frowned, and read the message, confused as to what was happening.

Redd, you already have another gig booked tomorrow, have everything packed. We leave right after this performance.

Surprised, the redhead texted back: Where?

The reply popped up quite quickly. Osaka, Japan. We'll take a jet.

She threw the phone down on a pillow and rolled her eyes. "Fine."

(Time skip?)

(Doodle oodle ooo time skip)
Crap crap crap... what if the performer spilled the beans? That'd never end well.. Chie's thoughts echoed "Aoi, what do I do..?" She kinda respected the character, in honestly

"Woah..." Atala gaped at the city as she gazed out the window of the car. The many colorful lights and signs were beautiful, especially with the darkness of the night sky enhancing the neon glow.

"I know," her manager's assistant said. His name was Logan Collins, and he himself was only in his early twenties. "Anyway- the performance starts in three hours, but you still have a sound check and your makeup and hair appointments. That's a lot, and you have to get it done in two hours, maximum." He offered a small smile, and she smiled back- she liked him way better than her actual manager.

"Fine, but I want some time to meet the other singers."

"Of course, that'll happen during the sound check. I think you're the only American singer, although there are some others from all over the world, most going on tour."

"Chie, contact that one American one. Try to make some friends for gods sake." The manager said. "Here's the contact info."
Hello, it's Aoi. ;3 I was wondering if you wanted to try to get to know each other she said, correcting her grammar. She didn't want to say anything offensive

Oh- hello there ^.^
This is Atala Reddfox. They call me Redd though. She smiled to herself. You're the JPOP star, right?

Yep! she replied. She was surprised that she didn't question talking to an animated cat.. but to each their own..?
