[throe]

I'm faring well, thanks.

[ She doesn't give her usual smirk. The strange part is she looks more bored than upset really. She crosses her arms and slouches slightly in her chair. ]

I'm still on the popularity list. It's not like I have anything to worry about.

[souredsweet]

There is a truth to that. I am certain now that you are aware of exactly how good it has been for you to maintain such positions for the entirety of the game...

[loathe as Kaoru seems to be to say that.]

[throe]

Of course, it's for the Stingers! Without popularity, how else will we stay at the top? Riot and Minx could manage the music without me for awhile, but after this...

[ She takes a deep breath and rests her feet on the desk. With her usual fervor, she raises her arms in the air. ]

The Stingers will be the hottest band for decades! We will be an unstoppable force!

[souredsweet]

[that leaves Kaoru in a state of speechless surprise for a few seconds, but in the end... it's kind of comforting, to see Rapture acting like she's done for weeks on end.]

It would seem as though you have your eye set on the end goal, as always. I will hope, then, that these stingers of yours are the hottest that they can possibly be.

[throe]

We don't give up. It's simply not our style.

[ Though Kaoru cannot see it entirely, it should still be assumed there is a smirk after this statement. ]

No one said the game had to be played one single way anyway. The Stingers make their own rules.

[souredsweet]

[there's a brief pause and then Kaoru allows some of the tension that was being held onto to escape.]

If only everyone could possess such confidence... I will trust that you will be able to see yourself through this ordeal, then, if you do not give up.

[throe]

[ Rapture herself takes a moment to take a deep breath. Then, she turns her head to face Kaoru once more with her arms crossed and legs still up on the desk. ]

I don't think you have to worry much about me giving up. It's just not something I — or Minx and Riot — do.

[souredsweet]

[Kaoru stares for a moment; it's a placid but searching look. overall satisfied with Rapture's response, though, a nod soon follows.]

I will believe in what you say, then. [and a smile.] I do not wish to distract you, though; I will take my leave if you are doing well. Please do not forget to eat.
