The Sakura Station[Job; Rayne/Open]

[~†Val†~]

[Rayne only at first; after the first few posts I'll say when it's open ^^;]

While the Sakura Station had been a popular entertainment place it had been previously closed down for renovations, and now that it had reopened, it was seeking employees once again. The Sakura station was far from a normal place, offering it's self as a sort of multi-plex of entertainment the large place seemed like an amusement park more then it did an actual establishment.

There was a single large building where the business was located, surrounded by elegant Japanese style walls as well as a large gate which bore the name of the establishment it offered it's self up to the Japanese-Americans and general Americans who desired entertainment.

The main large building had a large monitor across the side of it's surface, where ad's and various videos would be played and impressive lights were situated all across the paved and grassed land not occupied by the large building. The building it's self formed a sort of E; separating the night-club/bar from the general restaurant and finally the massive arcade located within. The structure was roughly twenty stories tall, the first three floors dedicated to cuisine, arcade, and the said night-club area while everything above was office space and even farther up were offices converted into impressive condo's.

On the pavement surrounding the building were several tables, where people could sit and enjoy them selves with fine drink and food delivered to them by the many servers that worked for the Sakura Station, as well as a public dance area located to the side where no alcohol was served but the general public could go to dance without the age restrictions of the club located inside of the actual building.

The Sakura Station played host to two grand stages, one located inside in the event that inclimate weather required them to bring everything inside, and another stage which remained in view of the patrons of the building as well as those gathered around in the outer areas, indeed it was very much it's own entertainment district.

As the Senior Entertainer it was Val's duty to scout for new talent and see if the potentials could keep up with his pace, afterall, doing the shows required great coordination and an affinity for the music as well as dancing to be able to keep the crowd pleased, which resulted in further tips for them. Since the joint had opened there were only three entertainers employed, Val being the first of them, and of those three one had already quit do to the strange outfits he was forced to wear.

Crowds of people, American and Japanese alike would flock to the joint on a nightly basis, leaving the poor servers swamped during most of the time, but during the afternoon things were quiet and slow which gave Val plenty of time to interview new candidates whilst practicing on the stage. Where was he now? Sitting upon a table in a black dress, finger nails painted black, lips painted purple and his eyes focused dead ahead...waiting for the next interview.....and the person was already late. In the end Val could only hope that the person had remebered what had been said about the outfits, it always took so much longer when they forgot to bring their own clothes for the interview..

So it seemed he was late, what better for good first impressions at your first job application in a completely unknown part of the world... Granted work wasn't needed and it was most likely the fact that for all the riches his family had he didn't really need to work and in fact come to think of it, he too didn't have much clue why he was being forced to do this having been 'guided' or more, forced out the front door with a map, a piece of paper and a speech about independence and earning ones own way in the world.

Standing on the front step he couldn't help but blush mildly at the passer byers as they walked past the front gates of the mansion, it was always an awkward departure if not in a car to have to come out of those giant pearly gates into the real world... Not to mention having wearing a rather extravagant dress that he was handed and rummaged into by the herd of maids at the house, hell he didn't even know what HE looked like.
From what he could gather as he slowly walked to the exit of the Mansion he had been dressed in a dark blue'ish purple Victorian style dress, not too much difference between it and a maid's costume and featuring the same bonnet like headpiece as well, his hair curled down by the sides of his face as it hung down to his shoulders, a moderate length of straight hair hanging down his back. He could feel the soft texture of lip gloss as he bit his lower lip softly staring at the outside world seemingly 'thrown' out of his inner comforts of the house towards a bustling town of people, this alone posed embarrassment, his confidence long since been destroyed in civilisation it always felt difficult especially dressed as he was.

About to cuff his eyes softly to adapt for the bright light also of the outdoors he suddenly paused, remembering the slight eye shadow and make-up they had pampered him with before sending him out as well he rolled his eyes slightly and gave a sigh as he opened the gate, placing map and paper in his mouth, violin and bow in the other whilst unyieldingly fighting the gate open and closed before stepping out onto the pavement the other side.
"Hmm... so... Lets se" he would whisper quietly, yes whisper to hide the slight male tones of his voice as the passer byers seemed to take him as female upon glance as he eyed them slowly and subtly as he began walking into the town area with map in hand.

FINALLY, he was to arrive at the rather large building, somewhat gulping as he stood and looked at it pondering just what exactly his Uncle had just gotten him into, again biting his lip albeit as much as he might have wanted to he couldn't afford to waste any more time and feebly running in with those doll like pumps on his feet he made his way inside.
Much to his shock as he walked inside he would turn and pass a few corners, coming into a long hallway and apparently ending up back out doors? But only to come eye to eye with another person, seemingly female staring right back at him as if majorly anticipating his arrival. Needless to say blush slowly rose upon his face once more at the somewhat embarrassment of being so late and wearing what he was, his hand holding the bow of his violin slowly rising nervously up behind his head as he began stepping ever closer to the the 'girl' was sitting at.

"Uhm..." He hesitated to announce himself, pausing a moment staring at the floor and then back up to the 'girl' before finally finishing his sentence, remembering hesitation in an interview is a bad thing if you ever plan on getting a job and if he were able to get the first job he applied for it would not only end this painstaking task but also place him in his uncle's good graces.
"I'm Rayne... mm Rayne, Vivion Lambada I'm here for an interview?" he would ask, a low feminine yet still male hinting tone as he spoke quietly though enough for the other to hear, placing a mild smile on his face as he spoke.

[~†Val†~]

While the green eyes seemed to be staring right through the blue haired boy, a delicately painted nail tapped abit against the alabaster skin before his lids slid closed and a deep breath was drawn in. They flickered open one more, the lace of the top of the stockings just touching at his inner thighs visible as his body lurched and jumped off of the table, landing on the ground below with grace and elegance as his heels made slight clicks and he strode over to the other boy.

Clicking his tongue all the while his face shifted a bit, well, this person had gotten the look down, the voice was horrible if he was attempting to fool anyone, luckily, their work didn't really require much of that though it was preferred if they could pull it off. His head shook simply, glancing at the violin with curiosity before speaking.

"You're late....And you brought a violin.." He almost seemed to be at disbelief to that, though that first statement his voice sounded completely female he quickly spun around and retreated back to his table, hopping up and sitting back down upon it his head tilting to one side and staring forward.

Now it was time for the shocker as he gave a small cough and his voice reverted to it's natural biological state "You're horrible when it comes to the voice though...And you should just introduce your self as Vivian when here.." Spoke the green haired boy, though his normal voice was still feminine his head tilting backwards and staring up at the blue-sky overhead.

"As you can tell...It's pretty empty right now...But at night time things become pretty busy...You'll need to be able to move quickly, and keep customers interested..." Explained the greenhaired boy once more.

[~† Rayne †~]

Rayne simply stood and watched as the 'girl' hopped off of the table, causing him to stand up with the utmost posture as if being expected in the military or something he just stood there a little nervous with his painted nails softly yet nervously tapping the firm wood of his Violin as he waited to see what 'she' had to say.
Quietly standing as 'she' seemed to examine him he slowly itched his head with a finger softly, the clicking of this person's tongue making him bite his glossed lip softly in anticipation as he shook his head, by far expecting the worst and lowering his eyes to look at the floor thinking only one thing "I totally screwed up..." not noticing the curiosity taken in the Violin until the person spoke, the feminine voice reaching Raynes ears causing his eyes to shut somewhat apologetically as he would begin apologising about being late until sharply awoken as 'she' made reference to his Violin, quickly breaking out of his sorrows to perk up and pull himself out of the slow decline he began to fall into.

"Oh! that, yeah I play the Violin umm, apparently it would be useful here? ehehe" he spoke, more full and normal and coincidentally much more feminine than his previous 'false' attempts at trying to be as he spoke though again pausing as he saw this person wanting to speak again he quickly quietened to let them.
Then came the comment on his voice, though the voice that said it, it took a moment to register but it was... male? His eyes widened as blush filled his face and his body seemed to freeze like entrapped in ice at the sudden embarassement at the false illusion he had come to bring about in his mind, it seemed like himself, he was well, a he.

"Uh.. umm.. err, well uh.. I was er.. yeah it does huh ehehe.." he would say, unable to argue against it as it was true, he seemed to speak more feminine when he wasn't even trying to when he did it all fell to pieces and clearly this person had come to gather that ability rather well however, once again Rayne's head looked to the ground half in shock, half embarrassed and a whole extra half of what the hell do I do.
Somewhere amongst that too came the silent mumble, "Now I remember why I never talk..." he would comment silently though still hear able for one wanting to hear it but as that last comment came out of his mouth it seemed to shock him a little, quiet now? There was still some people inside even now just having a drink and keeping customers entertained? Just what kind of entertainment had he been signed up for, once again his lip fell into his mouth as he bit it softly a bad yet cute habit if any as he looked at the green haired boy quizzically.

For a few moments there would be a mild silence as he just looked at the other, blinking slowly every now and then whilst his mind had a chance to run things all through, his hand casually rising up to his curled hair softly toying with it and twirling it as he swapped feet he was standing on primarily causing his body weight to shift lightly giving a slight arch in his standing and with the extension of his arm holding the Violin he would also casually exclaim, "Well, I can play the Violin? Um... and the guitar, acoustic and electric... hmm" placing his finger quaintly to his lips he would humm quietly in contemplation opening out his fingers to count.
"And the piano... flute I guess umm and I can sing but er... maybe that should be a pass considering... like you said my voice isn't really suiting of my clothes huh..."

[~†Val†~]

While the magical and wonderful abilities of preforming an instrument were fine and dandy Valéry had the strangest feeling that they wouldn't come in handy as often as the other boy had wanted, and so with a soft giggle and a wave of his hand he ended the boy's ramblings about instruments and how his voice wasn't good enough to sing. Sure, there'd be times when he could play an instrument but he can't do it 'all' the time.

"You can play your instrument from time to time but if you are hired you'll be approached by clients who will pay to have you sit with them, talk with them, and enjoy a meal with them..." Val said simply, legs criss crossing about from his perch ontop of the table staring over at the boy "No sex, though." He seemed to tack on as a disappointed after thought though quickly moving on and about his business.

"We dance on stage..and sing from time to time...You'll also be asked and probably paid to dance with people at the dance areas...Other then that we help the servers out when nothing is happening." He finished his explanation before crossing his arms over his chest and tilting his head to the side a strand of hair falling over so that it dangled just before his eyes, his lips fidgeting from side to side as he stretched his legs out before recoiling and recrossing them.

"Any questions~?"

[~† Rayne †~]

Whilst somewhat staring in mild confusion again as the idea of playing and performing instrumentally was removed from being his sole purpose Rayne began to panic again thinking just what he had been signed up for... Needless to say the more the other boy continued on the more his fears where being steadily confirmed however luckily for him, the 'no sex' part was mentioned as he was most probably on the verge of freaking out and possibly running away from the situation to never return.

Listening intently he contemplated how much of this he could do... Talking to people would be tricky, he would definitely need to learn how to guise his voice perfectly like the other boy, as for sitting enjoying a meal with them and generally dancing for them, that would be a tricky task. Such a high level of socialising had never been met by Rayne but he figured as to how hard could it really be? Nodding as he spoke as far as dancing went Rayne had danced quite a lot with the maids and such at the mansion and so that wouldn't be such a difficult thing either, his real main downfall again would be the talking...

Any questions?

Muffling a slight cough he would shake his head slowly before suddenly pausing, "Um... yeah, actually I was wondering" he would pause a moment, thinking of how to phrase what it was he wanted to ask before finally doing it, "well, could you teach me how to disguise my voice like you do?" he would ask, tilting his head quizzically once more, allowing the curly bangs of his hair to sway down across his face as he waited in anticipation - If he could learn to do that he was positive he could do everything else.

[~†Val†~]

"It's not hard, but I can't exactly teach you..you just need to practice more." Val said simply, giving a laugh as he dropped both of his legs down and rested his elbows upon his knees, his chin resting neatly in his hands staring forward at the boy as he tapped the side of his face with his fingers "It's not like the customers aren't already under the assumption that we are male..That's actually the point of this place really.." He said, throwing in the last bit as a sort of after-thought.

When he came to think about it, most of the guys knew they were boys but didn't seem to care about it all, hell, one of the other performers couldn't alter his voice at all and Val had wondered if the boy had even tried but he got business just the same as Val did so it clearly didn't matter too much to the customers.

"By dance I don't mean entirely what some think...we preform dances on stage to music, sometimes we even sing....We get paid alot for show nights though." A fact that Val was ever so happy about when he explained the dancing and the amount of money which they make "So you'll have to show up and practice some days of course...Since we don't usually just wing it...though some-times we do, it's more fun that way.." And so he lept upward again and walked over to the boy, patting him on the shoulder and giving a smile.

"We wear alot of outfits too, but don't worry, Sakura pays for all of that..Other then that...You're cute enough so I guess I'll hire you." Val gave a playful wink before turning around both of his hands sliding around behind him as he stared up and into the sky.

[~† Rayne †~]

As the boy seemed to continue Rayne stood and listened quite simply paying close attention to what he had to say, watching him carefully as he spoke and taking the moment to eye up his appearance as well, it was just as looking as his own except that voice at the start had made allll the difference. Whether it was necessary or not it would be something Rayne was more than focused on learning and inside himself he made an agreement that he would... Granted practising girlie voices is perhaps far from the easiest and most 'sane' thing to be doing in front of ones mirror but none the less he was determined he would get his voice to be just as feminine as the boy in front of him or even more!

Bringing a hand to his mouth as he laughed softly at the comment about winging performances his outlook on this place seemed to be slowly uplifted by the comment as it displayed a more fun and less serious aspect to working there to which had been put forward to him so far, 'winging it?' he was fairly good at that.
Smiling now quite freely as he began explaining that the outfits were provided mostly or at least paid for by the company which was good albeit Rayne had a fair wardrobe of his own by this point with thanks to his Uncle's more positive look on him. With a nod and a smile Rayne was at a peak of speaking when the boy seemed to add in another comment, saying he was cute caught Rayne's breath as he looked to speak, flushing red and freezing up even as if someone had just stuck an ice cube down his back he seemed to just stare off into the distance.

"Did he just..." To be honest no one had ever really said that knowing Rayne for what he was, all the while he never spoke even a fair amount of guys would have no clue and say he was cute, but the moment he spoke that was all taken away resolving it back to the maids being the only ones to have ever called him such... But then this boy just coming out and saying it, knowing Rayne for what he was? Well now that was just unexpected.
turning his head to face him giving a nod slightly about to say thank you again before receiving the playful wink and again freezing up in place all over again. He wasn't really sure what to make of it, it was a scenario never to have happened before and he hadn't ever expected it to, whether the other boy was attracted to him or just teasing him he still had no idea how to react in the situation and swiftly spinning on the balls of his feet he came to turn his back on the green haired boy pulling his hands up to his mouth somewhat bringing the Violin with it in a sort of 'oh my god did he just' sort of fashion.
