If nothing else, Chihiro was bubbly. She liked to think that alone would make her a good spokesgirl for a brand, but she didn’t really stand out enough for that, nor was she popular enough to justify it. So, she contented herself to just walk around, talking and familiarizing herself with the various other costumed ladies. It was one of those events – the kind where brands approached heroes for deals and sponsorships in exchange for endorsing their product.
Without a team to help her shine, Chihiro was just back up, and no one really wanted their product associated with a bench warmer.
Regardless, she was enjoying the free beverages offered. She was a big fan of flavored sparkling waters, and the fact each glass was chilled and served with a heart shaped slice of matching fruit really sealed the deal. She could just enjoy herself at this event, try to make some connections, and maybe go shopping after for some new leggings… Leg…
Legacy.
The healing hero quickly looked off, turning her back to where she’d spotted Legacy to wipe her mouth on the back of her hand and gather herself. The other woman was actually a junior hero by a few years compared to Heartstrings, but she had incredible charisma. There were few heroes who could grab the limelight quite like the kick boxing heroine! Furthermore…
Since Chihiro was in costume, she absolutely wanted Legacy’s signature. Finishing off her sparkling water, Chihiro dropped the glass on an empty server’s platter with a quick word of gratitude before approaching Legacy.
“Hia! I’m Heartstrings! Nice to see you here!” Play it cool, don’t ambush her for her signature…!

There were a lot of things that Chikara knew from over the years, being a graduate from U.A. was more than enough to start getting fame her way. She couldn't deny that bits of popularity were destined to slide her way from her bright, shining personality. She had that spark that set her apart from other heroes. A personality that gleamed with a bit of joy that really couldn't be matched. She was something entirely different from others and she knew that it was a point of interest for brands like this to get their faces as close to those they deemed to be "up and coming stars" like the leg-strength hero herself, Chikara Hashigane or as the public knew her: Legacy.[break][break]
She had style, flair, every step popped with her own personality and style. There was something about the girl with dark pink hair that set her apart from others on first glance. She popped out from the crowd, she sparkled with a charisma unmatched by most other heroes. From her few jobs she'd undertaken, she was the type to smile even when the going was tough and blood was pouring down her form from the dangers of the job.[break][break]
She was the perfect face to slap on a cereal box.[break][break]
From point A to point B was a process she'd undergone a few times at this point. She wasn't too worried about these issues anymore. She knew that someone would approach her with a contract, offering her a deal that would be totally balanced in her favour. She'd counter with one way beyond what they'd offer, and way beyond what they were willing to pay. They'd counter with one at the tip of their budget, and she'd say to give her 5% more than that or she wouldn't take it.[break][break]
Time was money after all.[break][break]
Of course, it was right after she finished one of those very interactions that she heard a voice. "Heartstrings", it identified itself. Perhaps a fellow hero or another fan. She turned, she herself in her hero suit to make it more obvious to potential sponsors who she was. A tight fitting white top vest that would have exposed a bit more than she intended if not for another black athletic shirt underneath that. She wore a pair of khaki pants beneath that, that were cut off to stop about midway down her thighs.[break][break]
On her feet were two large, black boots that stopped just short of the knee with two single lines of fabric continuing up the leg to her her waist. This was, unbeknownst to some, the support gear she used to help limit the strength of her legs. Otherwise, the gal would likely have stepped through any floors she'd crossed in her time at the event or would be breaking any concrete she took a step on. Not a good luck in front of her sponsors for sure. This in mind, she turned quickly to the sound she heard and smiled brightly.[break][break]
"Hey, Heartstrings! It's nice to meet you!" There was no need to introduce herself, the person reacted as if she was already aware of her. She said "Nice to see you here." not "Nice to meet you!" or "What's your name?". This was more than enough to explain that this was likely a fan. Or a fellow hero... or both.[break]

Chihiro was also in her hero costume, though it was several degrees less sleek and streamlined than Chikara’s suit. A pair of floatie wing-like attachments almost passed for off the shoulder princess puff sleeves. Her upper half was mostly form fitting, though thick enough to preserve the rather modest girl’s sense of privacy in regards to her shape. But, from the hips downward? All puff, gas filled and almost looking like a knee high ball gown. She might have looked like a balloon princess if her shoes weren’t essentially ankle supporting, high top sneakers with bouncy platforms. It looked rather childish, really.
But, that wasn’t the topic at hand. The topic at hand was that Chihiro had introduced herself and Chikara… hadn’t. As bubbly and cheerful as Heartstrings was, she wasn’t an idiot. At least, not with social things of this nature. She’d sat through too many business meetings as a child and had too many etiquette lessons back when she thought her endgame was becoming a proper little housewife to not notice when there was a difference in reception between two people.
Fortunately, though, it was rather difficult to get Chihiro down. Legacy didn’t think she needed to introduce herself, which was fair enough, given that Chihiro had acted overly familiar. And, it wasn’t as if she’d been snubbed in any real fashion. Legacy was probably just to the point! That was fair.
… But, Chihiro’s good manners couldn’t bare to let her not beat around the bush a little with niceties before cutting to the chase.
So, she beamed a little with a smile before looking over all the mingling heroines and business representative. “Boy, a lot of different companies are here today. How exciting!” She’d look back at Legacy. Find an opening, find an opening… “Did you get anyone approaching you? I wouldn’t be surprised if you did! You’re quite the up and coming hero, haha! Honestly, even I want your signature!”
Perfect! Natural inclusion! But, did the landing stick…?!

She caught just a glimpse of the girl's reaction to her lackluster response. She knew she didn't have to introduce herself, she was the star after all. The up and coming pro hero, Legacy, herself that was coming to steal the show one way or another. No one quite knew what to expect of such a beast, but she knew she was more than capable of toppling anything that got into her way. It was an easy life when you're as gorgeous and charismatic as she is, after all. They wouldn't know what hit them when she was involved in it.[break]
[break]
The phrase that drew here attention in was snuck right at the end of what the gal was saying to her, a tactic she knew that a lot of companies tried to do when they had things they didn't want you to realize they said but DID want you to realize they said it. Two conflicting ideas that they needed to present all at once without seeming conspicuous. Or at least, that was always the way that Chikara had taken it when some slobbering salesfool spewed a bunch of gibberish at her and dropped a small line at the end. [break]
[break]
"You want my autograph?" She giggled a bit, that was a first after all. A hero that wanted her autograph meant they either didn't look too highly of themselves or they looked at her with far more height than she deserved compared to many veterans. She liked to think it was probably a bit of both. Always an ego booster, that one. She smiled, "Well, I'm never one to break the heart of a pretty lady." She said with a gleaming smile, had it been in a TV show there would be a gleam of light off one of her teeth it was such a perfect grin, and wink in the girl's direction.[break]
[break]
Time to go.[break]

She'd been on the cusp of agreeing, pleasant and perky as ever. Chihiro knew she should try not to act so starstruck around other heroes; or, at least, that was what she'd been told time and time again. But, how could she not? It was lying to not be so impressed with her peers! Here they were, heroes; real, live heroes! They looked in the face of disasters and evils most couldn't bare to face and defied the odds! Wasn't that incredible?! Why couldn't she be honest with herself and with others? Why couldn't she just openly and truthfully admit that it amazed her? What was so wrong with still being enamored with the world? She had to live in it! She might as well love whatever of it that she could.
So, what she wanted to do was nod and say, yes, yes, I do want your autograph, Legacy.
But, what she did when the other woman smiled and winked at her was damn near let her knees go out. And, then, as honest as ever, she blushed a fierce dark maroon before speaking her truth: "My god, you've got a pretty smile." It was probably a mistake that Chikara had said what she did, but it wasn't too terribly a big deal. Chihiro got her heart broken like most people went through food. Rhythmically, regularly, and as one of the little pleasures of life.
At any rate, Chihiro got her cheer horn out and produced from her medical kit a permanent marker. She gleefully presented both to Chikara, excited to have Legacy's signature dabbled down among her previous collection of names. Some people might have greedy thoughts about selling it. For Chihiro, this was as personal as a diary. They were connections she had gathered, passing or otherwise. She cherished it far too dearly to think of turning it over for a quick buck, as made clear by the abundance of stickers from various shows she enjoyed. "Here you go!"

[nospaces] [attr="class","letgo"] [attr="class","text"]A cute reaction, as expected. Chikara was used to the fangirling. She knew she was amazing, but it didn't do much but make her ego inflate a little more and her smile grow a bit wider. She watched patiently as the other gal pulled out the thing she wanted her to sign. A medical kit dabbled with the names of other big heroes. A few she recognized, a few she didn't. Chikara took the moment to ensure she seized another fan and really keep herself the most prominent face on the medical kit probably forever. She found the largest space among it she could, and signed it in a rather medium sized script. What was written?[break][break]
"*Insert Chikara's Number Here*, call me~ <3[break]
- Hashigane Chikara, Legacy"[break][break]
Oh yeah, she went there. "Yours isn't too bad on the eyes itself, Miss." She replied with a wink and giggled a little bit. She was on top of the world right now, in her mind one could almost see her face imprinted over the sun. She knew the whole world just had to radiate around her. What else could be the answer after all? She was just way too amazing for her own good.[break][break]
"Say what are you doing after this?" She asked with another wink and extending a hand in order to help the girl keep her balance. She could do with a bit a more attention and plus it was never going to hurt to have another fan that would probably stick around in the long term, "If you're free, how about some dinner?" She asked. Smile? Check. Sparkle in her eyes? Check check. Charm turned to 15 on a scale of 10? Isn't it always? Well, yeah, check. She was making moves for sure.

When Chihiro took her equipment-slash-signature-and-decor-receptical back, all other noise briefly was drowned out. Dark brown eyes zeroed in on the fact a phone number had been left. And, an invitation to be called. As well as a heart. For a second, all Heartstrings could hear was the sound of her own blood rushing in her ears. It was rather suiting, considering the entirety of her cheeks, the bridge of her nose, and the tips of her ears were all now that same warm maroon tone.
Was that Fergie’s “Clumsy” playing over the loud speakers? No? Just in Chihiro’s brief mini-freak out over being flirted with? Right, then.
One might assume that considering how sweet and non-confrontation Chihiro was, she might shrink down and act shy with the invitation. But, that’d be wrong. Not only was this not her first rodeo, she was simply too energetic and passionate to back down from the offered date. Though she was blushing like mad, she still grinned and stood up a little straighter, tilting her head girlishly as she looked up towards Chikara.
“That sounds fantastic,” she agreed, taking Chikara’s hand. Yep, she was definitely going to have to go make a quick escape after this to go squeal and maybe brag to some friends. “Tell you what! I think you’ll be a bit busier here than me--” Another ego boost, what with Chihiro acknowledging how much more in demand Chikara was than herself. “--but I’ve got some errands to run until about six. I can text you so you’ll have my number, but if you’d like to go eat together after that, there’s some super cute cafes around.”

She watched with a slight grin on her face as she watched that blush spread, that was a lot better than she expected. She had to admit, she was really cute. Chikara wasn't the type to give that kind of compliment easily. She really only gave compliments in order to get one in return. A "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" kind of thing - but this was a bit different. She was glad that the girl was so quick and confident in her answer. That was... honestly a bit surprising. But hey, now she had a date for after this. All positives is what she was hearing.[break][break]
"Sure, sounds like a plan. I look forward to your message," She would take the hand that was placed in hers and give it a gentle kiss, as if mimicking the old gesture from Europe. Plus, it looked classy as fuck, and probably would make the girl a little more flustered which was more than enough to make it a bit more worth it for her. She grinned and turned back to the swarms of sponsors and other reporters who weren't quite paying attention since she had been on break during the majority of their conversation.[break][break]
"You can pick the cafe, but I'll pay, okay?" She said with a smile and a wink just before her initial turn, and focused back in on what she was here for: sponsorship deals. Anything to get her face out to the public and get more money rolling in. Not to mention, she knew that if she got popular in the media then she would be even more highly ranked among the heroes. All positives is what she was thinking. Nothing could possibly go wrong in her mind at this point, she was just in for a long ride is all.

A hand kiss?! How like a gentlewoman! Chihiro's spare hand flew to her cheek as she was utterly taken aback. It took all her effort to not literally bounce with giddiness. It was for the best that no reporters had seen that.
"Gotcha!" Heartstrings excitedly said back before turning on her heel. "See you then!" She held her composure as she left the room, being sure to give her gratitude to the host who had invited her and stop to say goodbye to a few other heroes she'd met before. She kept calm in the elevator, too.
But, as soon as she hit the streets, she took a big leap right against a building, launching herself off the sides until she hit the roof. Chihiro skipped across rooftops the whole way back to her hotel room. Here, she'd just thought she might get some good shopping and potentially scout for a good agency to apply to! But, this was definitely a bonus! She kept that merry mood until she got back to her room to get changed and do the shopping she'd meant to do, anyways. She didn't always have time to just leisurely spend in Tokyo, after all, so she should take advantage of the good shopping.
And, at some point during all that, Chihiro would take out her phone - with a very sparkly case and an abundance of charms dangling off it, thank you; there was a reason this thing wasn't ever with her hero suit... - to text Chikara her number.
