to akari — what made her so anxious and withdrawn? has she always been this way? :o

🌸: Isn't it a bit rude to call someone you don't know these words? Tsk.

🌸: Akari-kun, you don't have to answer that.

🍁: No, it's fine... I guess I... I really am those things.

🍁: But I...

🍁: It's hard to talk about...

🌸: Do you want to back out?

🍁: ...Yes. Um. Yeah.

🍁: (...One day, I want to be able to talk about it openly...)

🍁: (But even so, I don't really know why I'm like this, myself... Just what other people tell me...)

🍁: ...Sorry.

[Kaedehara Akari refuses to answer your question.]

;; i wanna hear about some of your 30+ proseka ocs!! if you wanna talk about them 👀

I'm hesitant, because I barely have any accurate artwork of them (and what I do have isn't drawn by me, actually), but it would be kind of hypocritical and silly for me to shy away from the question after that post, so...

In total I have about 30 proseka ocs and they keep on multiplying, but here's my focus for the time being.

[ yeah, I don't have a fancy logo or anything like this. I'm not at all a visual artist, unfortunately ]

Kawaakari Orchestra, or KWKO for stort, is a unit of 6 classical musicians that participate in chamber music/classical music competition on a national level in Japan; however, there's a twist - the competition is specifically designed to modernize and revolutionise the approach to how classical music is presented to the general public, so there's a lot of non-traditional elements both during performances and in between them.

In short, this is not what they signed up for (with some of the members even being picked up somewhat involuntarily), and the competition is fierce and nobody is having fun on the journey to victory - but also self-exploration, healing and mending their relationship with their lives and each other.

More info under the cut!

Their sekai is Conservatory Sekai, which is similar to Leo/need's school set up but instead of empty classrooms there are empty lecture halls and practice rooms; one main practice room which is very spacious and open and several smaller, more private ones. All the Virtual Singers are the same as in canon and all play the same instruments the cast does.

There are also two new schools for all OCs to attend because I wanted more creative freedom over that!

Meeting the sillies!

Some very important infographics to understand the dynamics of the group (4koma cutouts courtesy of @the-one-that-weeps):

They have a lot stuff going on, and so far I've planned a series for the that goes over from the main story up to their World Link event; but a lot of this is still Subject To Change and WIP, of course. So this is all I'm going to say so far in order to keep things interesting if I do happen to write about them at some point.

Hope you all like them, even if they're surface level, they mean the world to me. If you have proseka fan oc, this is the cue for you to talk about them as well. Let's re-populate the tag. Cringe culture is dead. Fan Units is where it's at.

[kerizaret]

Oh I genuinely don't need anything back I just like the meme lmao

You can answer this publically btw, I think I might repost at some point

Anyway, kwko neopets forums because I think they're funny. Enjoy

Immediately laughed at Reishi being signed up as Female HAHHHSHSH 😭😭😭 MAN these are so real and funny,,,

poor Akari,,, Suzuka & Kairi are so done with everyone's shit 😭😭 and Karin is so ruthless SHAHSH she's so funny I adore her

Pinned post ✨

Hello! This is Jay, and I've decided to make a separate blog for my fan proseka unit, Kawaakari Orchestra of KWKO for short. The reason for this is mostly my brain demanding for organisation, but also the reaction to them was incredible and I definitely want to talk about them more.

KWKO introductory post is here! More info under the cut.

What this blog will post:

- Area Conversations

- Self-introsuctions

- Welcome lines [probably]

- Memes

- Other curious tidbits of information

What this blog will post sometime in the future:

- Birthday/Anniversary Menu lines

- Seasonal/Holiday Menu lines

- Event summaries

- Card story summaries

- KWKO Kizunas

What this blog will not post:

- Full events [link only]

- Full card side stories [link only]

- Any song associations/headcanons (unless I suddenly learn to produce songs)

Please note that this blog will sometimes post content touching on or discussing several potentially upsetting or triggering topics, including the following:

- Child Abuse;

- Bullying;

- Mild violence and injuries, including discussions of eye injury;

- Suicidal ideation, including suicidal behaviour and past suicide attempts;

- Self-harm;

- Eating disorders;

- Substance abuse;

- Near death experiences;

- Chronic Illness, Medical Trauma and internalised, as well as external, ableism.

The aforementioned topics are unlikely to be portrayed in detailed or particularly descriptive manner. Nevertheless, reader discretion is advised.

All of the aforementioned topics will be tagged. The standard format for tagging will be [tw: "insert trigger"], as well as other formats to insure maximum coverage. The topics listed above will also be tagged at the beginning of each card story/event episode/etc when that time comes around.

Please contact me either on this blog or @shiraishi-kanade if you need additional trigger warnings.

Character symbols!

Saitsu Maki - 🦋

Kozaki Karin - 🦊

How can I interact with this blog?

- I will answer any asks to the best of my ability, unless the question is an explicit spoiler that will be answered later in the story!

- You can also submit an ask directed to a character (using their assigned emoji), and they will also answer to the best of their ability; however, you have to keep in mind that they would perceive you as a fan/viewer and can avoid your question or answer dishonestly.

- You can also send me your assumptions/theories/otherwise thoughts on plot development or future events; however, those will not be answered. You can specify if you want them posted or not and if yes I will answer with ✨ to say that I see and appreciate your thoughts but am unable to answer in a meaningful way due to inherently spoiler-y nature of the interaction.

- Feel free to send just about any questions, artwork (oh my god??), headcanons, memes, what have you. I greatly appreciate literally everything. Keep in mind that all KWKO characters are minors.

Main story/events when?

- Somewhere after I've done with my finals this year! I don't have the brain capacity to juggle this many things at once.

Scramble Crossing: Akari, Reishi [1]

🍁: (Oh no!.. Isn't that the person from the Orchestra?)

🍁: (I really don't wanna talk about the rehearsals or anything like that today...)

🍁: (Maybe if I look away he won't notice me...)

🌸: (...How interesting.)

🌸: (Am I so repulsive to you that you won't even look at me, Akari-kun?)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Hakkei High School: Kairi, Akari [2]

🐚: Everyone, remember to wash and iron your winter uniforms soon, alright?

🐚: I decided to warn you ahead of time so Disciplinary Committee doesn't have to deal with more of the "sorry, I forgot" types this year, hehe.

🐚: Besides, it would be bad manners to burden the Health Committee if you get sick~

🐚: Hm? Tutoring? I don't see why not. How does Friday sound?

🍁: (Woah... We only had one joint class, but he's already a completely different person than his usual self.)

🍁: (He doesn't really talk like that with me and Fujisaki, either...)

🍁: (I can't really tell which of his personas is the real one. It's creeping me out.)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Kawaakari Orchestra Self Introductions: Kaedehara Akari

🍁: Ugh... I really don't want to do this...

🍁: Okay... At least I have as many attempts as I want to.

🍁: In... And out...

🍁: I'm ready.

🍁: Um, hello everyone! I'm Kaedehara. Um, Kaedehara Akari.

🍁: It's, ah... I'm the violist for Kawaakari Orchestra... You- you probably already know that. But, um, no worries if you didn't! I mean- it's, uh, not really important.

🍁: I don't really have anything to tell about myself... I won a couple competitions before, but that's about it.

🍁: I only joined because... A staff member wanted me to sign up, so I did. I didn't expect to actually pass the audition-

🍁: Ah, which is not to say I didn't put any effort in, of course, I- not- I was trying to- well, I actually only wanted to-

🍁: Haa... This won't work...

🍁: Can I try again later?..

🍁: Okay...

🍁: ...[sigh] I really don't see a point in doing this...

🍁: I mean, nobody is going to be interested in a violist anyway... Won't they?

Conservatory Sekai: Akari [1]

🍁: ...

🍁: I think you can hear the river current below if you really focus.

🍁: But... It also might just be my imagination.

🍁: I'm not sure...

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Shopping Mall: Akari, Kairi [1]

🐚: A cat tree, huh...

🍁: (Oh! A cat tree...)

🐚: (No, it's no use... It's not like I can just put it on the street.)

🐚: (It'll just get dirty and wet like all of their beds...)

🍁: (Little Lady would probably love this, wouldn't she?..)

🍁: (But this one... Even if I could afford it, there's not enough space in the cafe...)

🍁: (I'm sorry, Little Lady.)

🐚🍁: Oh...

🐚: Good afternoon, Kaedehara.

🍁: G-good afternoon.

🐚🍁: ...

🐚🍁: (This is awkward...)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Hakkei High School: Akari [1]

🍁: Phew. That's the last of this week's assignments...

🍁: (I'm still not sure if it was the right choice, but...)

🍁: (Being in a special course is a lot easier than normal school.)

🍁: (...I'm just glad they found a way to keep me enrolled.)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Hakkei High School: Reishi, Akari [1]

🌸: Ah, Akari-kun. Good morning, is it not?

🍁: Um! Good morning to you too, Fujisaki-san!..

🌸: Hehe. We're the same age, so there's no need to be so formal.

🍁: I'm... Not sure I can. S-sorry...

🌸: That's a shame. Fair enough, I suppose.

🌸: Regardless, you're quite a rare sight at school these days. How do you feel about going to a masterclass with me after class?

🍁: A masterclass, huh...

🌸: No pressure, of course. I don't imagine it'll be anything of particular use for string players today.

🍁: (I'll look absolutely ungrateful and incompetent if I refuse, especially after an invitation like this!)

🍁: (And... It's been a long time since I've been at a masterclass, anyway. If my school offers something like that... It would be nice to actually use the opportunity.)

🍁: Yeah, I'll go. I, uh, I think.

🌸: Wonderful. I hope you'll have a great time.

🌸: (All that's left to fetch Kairi-kun later, then.)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Music Shop: Karin, Akari [1]

🍁: ...!!

🍁: (Oh no!.. That's Kozaki-san...)

🍁: (If she sees me buying something like this, she'd definitely judge me!)

🍁: (Ugh, why did I have to run into her today?! Megumi, you could really pick up your own reservation for once!..)

🍁: (What should I do...)

🦊: Ah, Kaedehara.

🍁: Um! Ah, hello...

🍁: I'm just... Picking something up for a friend, that's... it's not like I actually care about this stuff!..

🦊: ...Okay?

🍁: Huh?

🦊: It's none of my business what you're listening to. Why should I care about that?

🍁: ...Ha... You're right, of course. Um, excuse me...

🍁: (She's right... She has no reason to care about what I listen to...)

🍁: (...I don't know if it makes me feel better or worse.)

[kawaakari-orchestra]

Do any of them have pets?

Maki used to have a parrot! The guy's still alive, just rehomed for his own sake - moving as much as Maki's family does didn't do his health any favours, so they sadly had to say goodbye.

Reishi's family used to have a dog.

Kairi and Akari don't have pets on their own, but are close with others's cats.

[kawaakari-orchestra]

This seems to be a general consensus by everyone following this blog
