Good Morning by Cymbals

Backstage Stories

Part 1Part 2

Izumi	--That's why we are going to participate in the parade.
Chikage	Heh, Looks like playing percussion instruments would be difficult.
Sakyo	Will they be able to perform well in the parade?
Izumi	All three of them are doing their best.
Homare	.. Hrm...
Izumi	Oh, Homare-san?
Homare	Ahh, director-san. Sakyo-san and Chikage-san is here too.
Chikage	Did something happen? You look troubled.
Homare	As everyone know, I shall be playing cymbals for the upcoming parade on Veludo Way but--
	The sound that cymbals make is too clamorous. Given the circumstances, I won't have enough time to practice.
Sakyo	Indeed, the noise makes it impossible to practice very early in the morning and late at night.
Homare	Besides, I can't possibly disturb other member's sleep.
CHOICE 1: "You're so kind." [+] Izumi That's very kind of you, Homare-san. Homare You think so? Well, even though it's for the sake of practice, I have no intention to disturb anyone. Izumi I'll have to check if we can possibly increase our practice time. Homare Indeed. I can't seem to come up with good ideas to solve it too.
CHOICE 2: "There are other people here." [+] Izumi Certainly.There are other people staying in the dorm. Homare Oh, we have students and workers. Even our workers have varied professions. There aren't many theater company who have former professional cuddler and former royal attendant as members. Izumi Ahaha, indeed. (Poets are pretty rare too.. )
Homare	Well then, what should I do..
	The rhythm is not as difficult but it takes practice to make a perfect, loud sound.
Sakyo	If that's the case, why don't you use it to wake up those who are sleeping up until noon during day offs?
	It'll be good if you can ring it to their ears without holding back.
Chikage	Isn't it a great idea? In this case, Chigasaki on Sundays will be a great practice partner for you.
Homare	Ohh, such a wonderful idea!
Izumi	Is it going to be alright though?
Sakyo	Of course. It's so much better than just letting those guys sleep forever.
Chikage	Homare-san, I can make a way so you can sneak into the room without asking for permission.
Homare	You have my gratitude, Chikage-kun! I shall do it next Sunday then.
Itaru	Zzz..... Zzz...
	*door opening*
Homare	Just as Chikage-kun said, he's deep into slumber.
	Well then..
	*CLAAAAANG*
Itaru	Uh ! ?
Homare	Good morning, Itaru-kun.
Itaru	.....
Homare	This is bad ! Itaru-kun stopped working.
Itaru	Suddenly ringing such loud noise in my ear, are you plotting to murder me?
Homare	My apologies. I'm looking for ways to practice cymbals.
	Chikage-san suggested you will be a perfect practice partner for me.
Itaru	Damn it. I'll never forgive him.
Homare	I am sorry to bother you. I will be proceeding to the next room.
Itaru	Next room? Are you still planning to increase the number of your victims?
Homare	I was able to make an excellent sound. I am grateful to you, Itaru-kun.
Itaru	RIP to whoever it will be.
Taichi	Zzz.... Mm.. foo...
	*door opening*
Homare	Omi-kun is not around. I am quite certain he's busy cooking our meals.
	Let's get started...
	*CLAAAAANG*
Taichi	Uwaaaahh !!
Homare	Good morning, Taichi-kun. Looks like you woke up refreshed today.
Taichi	Ho-Homare-san !? What are you doing this early in the morning ! ?
Homare	I am using these cymbals to wake people up as part of my practice.
	I am glad the sound I made is great enough to make you jump out of your bed.
Taichi	Why do you have to wake me up that way ?! It's terrible--!

Homare	The next person shall be Azuma-san...
	*door opening*
Azuma	Good morning, Homare. What are you doing this early in the morning?
Homare	I have been practicing cymbals by waking up those people who are still sleeping.
Guy	I heard cymbal noises earlier. Was it you, Arisugawa?
Homare	I thought Azuma-san is still sleeping but it seems like I missed my opportunity.
Azuma	If you are looking for people who are still sleeping, isn't our number one sleeper sleeping in your room right now?
Homare	Ohh, he's quite formidable so I am saving the best for the last.
	Well then, I'll take my leave now.
Azuma	.... Thankfully, I woke up early. For some reason, I'm a little anxious this morning.
Guy	I thought it's very unusual for you to get up early. Did your intuition kicked in?
Azuma	Fufu, I wonder.
Hisoka	Zzz....zzz..
	*door opening*
Homare	He is sleeping soundly as usual.. Here I go, Hisoka-kun.
	*CLAAAANG*
Hisoka	Mm... Zzz..
Homare	Hrm... Just as I expected. He is not waking up at all. Let me try it one more time.
	*CLAAAANG*
Hisoka	Zzz...Zzz..
Homare	I made a perfectly loud sound. Is it not enough?
	Alright, If that's the case, I will have to--
	*phone ringing*
	Hello, Takao. I need you to bring me something.
Homare	I have been waiting for you, Takao.
Takao	I am sorry to have kept you waiting, Homare-sama. However, If you are going to do that, you will be causing trouble for everyone.
Homare	No matter how much I try to ring out cymbals in his ears, Hisoka-kun is not waking up at all.
	He is waking up right away even with a single marshmallow so I thought he might be too insensitive.
Takao	Explains why you are using a gong. However, Homare-sama, I am fairly certain he doesn't want to hear the word insensitive coming from you.
Homare	What do you mean? .. Well, I guess it goes the same way for you?
	Anyways, Here I go..
Takao	Please wait, Homare-sama. If you do that, you will be causing nuisance for everyone--
	*GOOOONGG*
Hisoka	....
Homare	Ohh, you’re finally awake! Good morning, Hisoka-kun.
Hisoka	Noisy. I've been awake all this time. I'm just ignoring you.
Homare	Hrm.. I knew it. Are you saying that you prefer this gong over the cymbals for the parade? If that's the case, I am very familiar with using it.
Hisoka	....
Takao	My apologies, Mikage-sama. I will be taking this gong with me.
Hisoka	Please do.
Homare	No, I have decided. I shall be using this gong for the parade.
Takao	I am sorry for the trouble Homare-sama caused you, Mikage-sama.
Homare	Hold on a second, Takao!
Takao	Please excuse me then.
Homare	Takao, leave the gong here !
	Takao ~!
