Tamiko looked up as Rin started to speak to him. "Hm? Oh.." He said, placing his hands behind his head. "We live in the same city as you guys do, probably not too far from your house, or so I've heard. And I guess we're like a family with incest?" He looked up in thought for a while. "I guess it's pretty." He chuckled a little. "What about you? You guys are all like a family too, right? I mean, I've heard some of you refer to Meiko-san as your mom and Miku-san as your sister..?"

((excellent observation skills there, Tamiko.))

"Sleeping." Meiko replied, with a slight chuckle. "Oh, is he? Hardly any of us are shy." Meiko said, "Maybe Nigaito and probably Len.. I like to see them talking to other people." Meiko nodded at Kami's next statement. "Don't forget Miku and Mikuo. Mikuo used to be with us but then he left for Japan for whatever reason. We haven't really heard from him, but he was so annoying, nobody really cared.. But you are right, there are a lot of twins."

Miku sighed. "She probably would.. That's so becoming of a lady.." She said, quietly, then looked up, "I know he won't grow up. But at least he could get used to it. That's all he needs to do, after all, I like him all small and cute and clueless." Miku laughed a little before continuing. "Oh please, there are tons of people here to talk to," she teased, "I was looking around for Kaito-kun, but I couldn't find him, so I figured you were the next best thing.. unless you want me to leave?"

Amiya sighed. This concert was her introduction to the world. It was odd...since she technically had no songs of her own yet. She had gotten there late anyway, since Taito didn't want to wake her up on time. She went backstage to find her family and another group. Amiya was puzzled, but came up beside Taito. He looked down, he never really liked to sing in front of people. "Ne, what's going on, exactly?" She looked at Taito, blushing just a little bit.

Out of no where, Moki came running up behind Tamiko. "Of course they're a family, Tami-san~!" The little girl smiled, looking up at Rin. "Hello, there. I'm Moki, the oldest of the Artificial Notes. How do you do, Kagamine-san?" She knew about every single Vocaloid, and it was an honor to meet them. She smiled, hugging Tamiko around the waist.

Kiyoko looked at everyone, blushing as she did. She was so shy, she couldn't speak to anyone. Alexis would try to get her to talk, but Kiyoko just couldn't. She stayed far away from her family and the Vocaloids, sitting on the floor.

(And Luka....is no where to be found. XD)

Rin nodded, "Yes! Shun is the 'dad'," she pursed her lips, "But him and Meiko are not together." she said seriously.
She laughed,"Really?! Maybe sometime you all could come over for karaoke? That'd be so much fun!" Rin paused again, "Incest?" she laughed again, "I guess we have that a little, too."

Kami frowned, "Nobody cared that he left? Not even Miku?" It seemed so sad. Even if he was a pest, nobody cared. Not even a little?
"It makes me jealous because I came here all alone and I didn't have anyone. I didn't get to talk to anyone at the place that built me. No attachments, ya know?" She smiled thoughtfully for a minute, "So you're the 'mommy'?"

Takehshi stayed feet behind everyone else eyeing out what was there competition but to him many... Many Opportunities. He stood on his toes looking around at all the others. "Oh that one is hot, Oh oh so is that one... I really like that one, Yeah that one for sure, I'll go talk to her right now..." he kept saying all under his breath. As he started walking in that direction, he caught a sight out of the bottom of his eye and stopped and was only a few inches away from stepping on Kiyoko. Takeshi looked down " Oh? Hello there, didn't see you for a second."

Riden looked around nervously, this wasn't really his place, He hated large crowds. You'd think since he was programmed to deal with this kind of thing it would be a little easier but no. He kept trying to spot familiar faces until he found Mikuru's. He instantly rushed to her side not even knowing who was with her or what they were talking about.

(Fail post I know <.< But atleast I'm back :D)

Kiyoko was staring at the ground when she suddenly felt something near her just a few inches away from her. She looked up just as Takeshi spoke. She blushed red, looked back down, and whispered an, "It's fine..." In all honesty, she didn't really LIKE Takeshi, he was just another AN. She looked back up at him. "So, what are you doing? Going to go meet the Vocaloids?"

“Yeah… it’ll be nice meeting someone new.” Miki said, standing up and stretching a bit. Lately the only ‘new’ people she’s been meeting were people working with the concert, and all they talked about was business stuff. Maybe with the Artificial Notes, as she remembered them being called, she could make some friends. After looking back once to see what Akaito was doing, she walked up to someone Rin was talking to. She didn’t know whether she should greet Rin or the people she was speaking with, so using quick thinking, she jumped into the conversation. “It’s only figurative incest.” were the words she used to make a spot for her. “Hi, I’m SF-A2 Miki, by the way.” the red head quickly added, holding out her hand out for the A.N. to shake.

“They must be excited.” Alexis replied. “They’re also the youngest Vocaloids, aren’t they? I don’t suppose there’s a duet planned for them?”

((Short Alexis post. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay))

"Haha, yes." Miku laughed, "Hey, but don't tell the rest of your brothers that, alright? And you are fun to talk to.. when you're... calm." After Amiya came, the atmosphere changed. It didn't take long for Miku to catch on to what was happening. She smirked, "I think I'll take my leave," She nudged him and got up. "See you~" Miku ran in Rin and Miki's direction and reached just in time to catch the word 'incest' come out of Miki's mouth. She came up in between Miki and Rin, put her hands on their shoulders and pouted. "Eh? What are you guys talking about 'incest'? You know, they could report us to the police for that. We could get in trouble." Miku looked up and saw Luka, she smiled. "Luka-onee-chan~ I have to ask you a question~" she said, motioning for Luka to walk over.

Meiko sighed a little, "When he left.. Miku... was dead... When she came back, though, she cared for a while.. and I guess everyone missed him, but it was good that he was away. He reminded us all of Miku." Meiko smiled back, "Well just about everyone came like that. We formed into a family though. When Yuki, Miki and Nigaito came, it was easy to accept them into the family. I hope it will be the same for you guy... And yes, I'm the mom. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it."


Mikuru had wondered over to the group of vocaloids and some of the ANs that were talking. She has been sleepy, and just stood in the back for a while, but, now that she was her regular eccentric and over-energetic self, she went back to being herself again. "Incest is only incest when it's immediate family." She nodded and giggled. "I'm Mikuru. I'd tell you my last name, but I forgot it.. Oh! Can we do karaoke with you guys? Can we, can we, can we? Sounds like funn~" She looked over at Riden as he appeared next to her, and grinned at him. "Where have you been?" She asked, laughing a little. "Are you alright?"

Kamiko slipped away from the group, going unnoticed. There were too many people there now, and he wanted to talk to Chii. He walked over to her and waved shyly. "Did you talk to anyone interesting?" He asked.

Mark looked at Alexis with big, shocked eyes. "Ahh! No! Ahh! Why didn't you tell me?!" He said, "That would have been a good show.."

All this talk of brothers was making Echo remember Mute, so long since she had seen him was he even coming he had promised...but still, anything could happen. just as she was getting worried. Nigaitos cute voice said

. "I can be your brother until he gets back!.....And then you won't be sad, right?"

he had his arms out stretched to her asking for her to pick him up. Echo blushed,

"m..me?...oh but I " she didn't feel she'd be able to hold him she was afraid she'd drop him if she tried but his words were so sweet so adorable. she tossed away the worry and lifted him into her arms. thinking abiut what he had said

"I would like that very much" she giggled "and yes i wont be sad"

(back to school soon so will be regularly posting then)

Riden tried faking a smile the best he could. "Perfect thank you, I'm just not a fan of huge crowds..." He said. His voice had finally healed and was back to the way it should have been. if not better. "Who are these people anyways" he whispered in a low hush. "somehow it feels like I know them from somewhere..." He relaxed just a bit as that thought scanned over his mind.

Takeshi looked down puzzled at Kiyoko "The Whothewhatas?" He was always wrapped in his own little world like always. "No clue what your talking about, But there are some pretty cute ones i would love to meet." he said as he looked around the room again. Glancing from face to face looking for the best.

.......(accidental post sry)

Echo giggled softly blushing a little at his compliment

"really ...i'm not...I'm pretty average" but she smiled despite that "Echo thinks you're adorable Nigaito"

She was often prone to speaking in third person when she was happy , nervous, sad ...well really any emotion. She had never realized how upsetting the distance from her brother was making her effecting her speech and composure.
But Nigaito with his sweet innocence was bringing more of the real Echo back out. She wanted to introduce them to her friends.

But who? her eye scanned the crowd falling on Kiyoko and Takeshi, Kiyoko looked so nervous and shy.....If Nigatio could help Echo surely he could help Kiyoko.

Making sure Nigaito was securely in her arms she walked carefully and lightly to Kiyoko. but didn't say anything a little shy herself, she stood off to the side with Nigaito instantly thinking she had made the wrong decision

look how quickly fear could creep up on someone

Kamiko walked up and stood next to her. "Did you talk to anyone interesting?" He asked. She shook her head. "Not really... I haven't strayed to far from the group... I'm not exactly sure why though... I thought that I would be excited..." Chi's eyes scanned the group infront of her. "But.. I think I'm just nervous..." She looked up at him, a small blush on her cheeks. A small smile graced her lips and she turned back to the group.

Miki paused for a moment. She was directing the hand shake at the blue haired guy, but Moki was good too. Although, she was a bit surprised at the comment about being released before all the Vocaloids. All this time, Miki thought the Artificial Notes were new. Well, at least newer than the Vocaloids. “Interesting. You must have a lot of songs, then.” Hearing the comment about karaoke, she said “I suppose that’ll be fun, of course assuming our vocal chords will still be working after this rather long concert…”

Alexis shrugged. “Perhaps you can make last-second changes?”

At that moment, a staff member entered in, taking a few quick glances around and stating “Ms. Hatsune, you’re up!” The concert was now to begin.

((I got permission to post for Broken. :'D))

Mikuru jumped up and down with excitement, "Yay! Karaoke!" She said, happy that they had accepted her request. She looked over at Riden as he spoke. A small smile played her lips as he told her that he was okay. She knew he wasn't, because there were so many people around. But there was no use arguing. Mikuru pouted at his next question. "They're the vocaloids... You might know them, they're pretty popular.." She put her hands on her hips, "No, you should know them. That's all we've been talking about for months." Okay, that was partially a lie. The conversations being held between the ANs for the last month was about how they were going to meet the vocaloids, who they were going to be paired up with for the photoshoot and who drank all the milk.

Kamiko smiled. "I can tell.. You shouldn't be nervous though. They're really nice.."

Just then, Len ran out of the dressing rooms, along with Kaito. "Hey, sis!" He called out, running up to Rin. He looked at everyone she was talking to, and bowed as an apology. "I'm sorry if I'm interrupting anything. I needed help with something, but I guess I'm fine now."

Kaito had found himself to Miku, but just as he did, the guy told her it was her turn to go on stage. Miku smiled apologetically and kissed him on the cheek. Things has been pretty... dreamy between the two of them. Ever since she came back, he had been extremely happy, and she was happy that he was finally happy. She couldn't imagine a day without him, they were so close. Miku walked towards the curtains and let the guy hook up the microphone to her head and then, she walked out.

The crowd was very loud, they were excited to see her after her 'death'. The atmosphere was crazy, and she loved it. Making her way to the middle of the stage, she smiled, and yelled out to the crowed, "I'm back!!". Their response was more yelling, and it made her smile bigger, and giggle some more. After apologizing for her long absence and telling the crowd a few things, she nodded over to the guy behind the curtain, and the beginning to 'Ai Kotoba' started to play. The concert had officially begun.

Luka sighed, just about to walk over to Miku before she suddenly went running off. The concert was about to start. She didn't know who was next, she didn't know where she should be, so she walked over to Taito and Amiya. She put a comforting hand on Taito's shoulder, smiled over at Amiya. "Are you nervous, Amiya? This is your introduction after all..."

Amiya looked back at Luka, blushing. "Now that you mention it...I am just a little. Since there are no original songs on my memory bank, I might piss a lot of people off..." She laughed nervously, shrugging. "I'll be fine. I suppose." Smiling shyly, she looked over out on stage, where Miku had started her routine.

Moki laughed, like a little girl. "I guess. The Artificial Notes aren't singing. And I suppose I had a few before MEIKO was released. I was more over meant to be a companion."
