and after a nice relaxing night
16 little lights and little neons
woke up to a nice bright light
or rather a nice blaring song
[ now playing: a loud chipmunk
version of into the i-land ]
KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / LIGHTS ] ;; is this into the i-land?
KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / LIGHTS ] ;; reusing theme songs?
DANIEL CHOI [ #09 / LIGHTS ] ;; dude it's too early for thoughts. let alone unreasonable ones
KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / LIGHTS ] ;; how is it unreasonable???
KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / LIGHTS ] ;; why would the show use a copyrighted song just as an alarm???
DANIEL CHOI [ #09 / LIGHTS ] ;; now, what station is making this show?
too long of a pause
KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / LIGHTS ] ;; oh... i'm not awake yet
BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / LIGHTS ] ;; don't worry you just need some brain juice !
KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / LIGHTS ] ;; just to be clear, is that like juice juice or coffee?
SONG NARUU [ #06 / LIGHTS ] ;; *yawns* i thought he meant tea
just as the group was about to
lug themselves about the door in
their pajamas, a loud knock sounded
JEONG HYUNJIN [ #13 / LIGHTS ] ;; OPEN UP IT'S THE POLICE
byulyi opens the door
KWON MYUNGJOON [ #04 / LIGHTS ] ;; *sleepy finger guns* pew pew
JEONG HYUNJIN [ #13 / LIGHTS ] ;; RAIN HYUNG MADE PANCAKES
BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / LIGHTS ] ;; already? it's like *looks* 7?
YOON JINU [ #01 / LIGHTS ] ;; we went to sleep early, which probably would've been a good idea for you
KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / LIGHTS ] ;; how long did you stay up after we went to sleep?
BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / LIGHTS ] ;; uh... may i refrain from answering?
◦✧◦
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; are you awake?!
[ could've sworn haru went to sleep only 3-4 hours ago, why is he already awake ? ]
qingyu peaks out of his eyelids
XIA QINGYU [ #11 / NEON ] ;; *dry throat* who are you..?
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; oh me! i'm-
◦ TRAINEE ✧ INTERVIEW ◦
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; Hello! It's your bunny detective with an outgoing nature, Haru-imnida!
STAFF ;; how do you feel about joining late?
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; i'm just glad i got to join at all!
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; there are pieces of me that have been missing since JaCKs disbanded
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; and although I have great skills ! i haven't gotten to the point where i was able to fix them myself
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; but now i'm here ! killing two birds with one stone !
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; one, i get to see someone i missed and two, i get to once again create smiles on people's faces !
◦ ✧ ◦
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; lee haru ! nice to meet you !
haru enthusiastically shakes
qingyu's hand,which was still
laying lifelessly seconds ago
qingyu stared at him,
still a little tired and rather
concerned that this guy
was going to take his arm off
XIA QINGYU [ #11 / NEON ] ;; ...
however, qingyu was too
afraid to actually tell him to stop
thankfully, haru knows the appropriate
amount of time to shake a hand
JACKIE CHOI [ #05 / NEON ] ;; watch it there or else his arm will turn into a knife
JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / NEON ] ;; please don't make jokes so early in the morning
JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / NEON ] ;; they're generally worse than normal
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; *laughs* i'd have to be shaking his hand at 225 rpm to do that
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; last time I checked... i'm extremely far off from that
JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / NEON ] ;; *under breath* thankfully
JACKIE CHOI [ #05 / NEON ] ;; he's actually playing into my joke ?! omg!
ROMAN HWANG [ #03 / NEON ] ;; i think he was fact checking it
NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / NEON ] ;; why did you guys leave to stand around the doorway?
NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / NEON ] ;; i mean it doesn't really matter-you do you- but mikael told me that we can't eat before you guys come back because it's "rude to the chef" or something like that.
[ really following that huh? i guess i won't
acknowledge the toast you're holding ]
takumi finally gets a look past the group
NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / NEON ] ;; oh! is that the *deepens voice* "midnight visitor"
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; wait! that's what they called me? how cool!
NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / NEON ] ;; it is! except they really drained the life out of me with the explanation length
LEE HYEON [ #12 / NEON ] ;; speaking of length, um... please refrain from falling into a rant on why pokémon is actually connected to the marvel universe when i'm trying to fall asleep
ROMAN HWANG [ #03 / NEON ] ;; when did you get over here?
LEE HYEON [ #12 / NEON ] ;; like a second ago
LEE HYEON [ #12 / NEON ] ;; also mikael told me to drag you over to the table or else he's going to come over and hit you with his stick
JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / NEON ] ;; that genuinely sounds out of character
LEE HYEON [ #12 / NEON ] ;; okay he didn't say that... but he's is stabbing his waffle while muttering that it's getting soggy so...
JACKIE CHOI [ #05 / NEON ] ;; *claps* alright alright! let's not leave him hanging then
the group starts shuffling back
to the table while haru glances
around for his roommate who suddenly
appears dressed in everyday attire
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; roomie! ... when did you get dressed? and why?! your dino pants were adorable
XIA QINGYU [ #11 / NEON ] ;; while everyone was talking *mutters* dino pants aren't suitable for this environment
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; oh nonsense! i bet this 'mikael' character is wearing some
[ update: he wasn't, but he
was wearing fluffy pajama pants ]
◦ ✧ ◦
timed separately for the groups
in reference to when they finished
eating, an alert blared from the tv
{ a/n imagine the circle alerts
if you've ever watched that show }
YOON JINU [ #01 / LIGHTS ] ;; they should look into some nice calm intercom announcements
JACKIE CHOI [ #06 / NEON ] ;; dear producers, please stop causing this boy to
flinch all the time and look into some nice alternatives, thankkkss
[ you heard him ]
KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / LIGHTS ] ;; looks like they're getting the show on the road
JEONG HYUNJIN [ #13 / LIGHTS ] ;; OH YES! must be the theme song mission!
KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / LIGHTS ] ;; my bet's on mnet reusing into the i-land
DANIEL CHOI [ #09 / LIGHTS ] ;; please stop with that idea
KORAIN SEONG [ #10 / LIGHTS ] ;; that doesn't sound too bad, but rather boring
KORAIN SEONG [ #10 / LIGHTS ] ;; although it may include a duet version with an artist
KORAIN SEONG [ #10 / LIGHTS ] ;; like maybe haein per chance *quirks eyebrow*
BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / LIGHTS ] ;; WAiT! is that actually a possibility? like is it actually on the table??
YOON JINU [ #01 / LIGHTS ] ;; anything's a possibility, but wouldn't that mean that we *motions with his hand* won't get lines in said performance
SONG NARUU [ #06 / LIGHTS ] ;; oh no, really..?
KWON MYUNGJOON [ #04 / LIGHTS ] ;; i don't think we should worry too much because i bet we'll have a chance to move up and get lines
JEONG HYUNJIN [ #13 / LIGHTS ] ;; yeah guys! there'll probably be a re-evaluation, so we'll just have to do and show our best!
[ positive thoughts guys! good job!
now how are neon feeling? ]
NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / NEON ] ;; hey mikael, you're a great vocalist. can you reach chipmunk frequencies?
MIKAEL KWON [ #15 / NEON ] ;; wha-?
NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / NEON ] ;; you know like in the case our morning alarm portrays the theme song demo
ROMAN HWANG [ #03 / NEON ] ;; oh please no i can't handle that for over 2 minutes
JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / NEON ] ;; *nervous laugh* even 2 minutes sounds too much
qingyu is quietly checking to
see if his voice can go that high
when haru simply butts in
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; i think it'd be higher than that. more like this *insert sudden loud copying of this morning's alarm*
JACKIE CHOI [ #05 / NEON ] ;; i feel forced to do this *proceeds to also attempt to copy the alarm*
LEE HYEON [ #12 / NEON ] ;; guys? is there a fire?
JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / NEON ] ;; oh, you're back from the bathroom. please come sit down so this video might play. *mutters* and so they don't end up fighting chipmunk style...
◦ ✧ ◦
once everyone was settled in
front of the screen in the lounge,
a familiar face appeared on the screen
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; hello trainees ! have you settled in nicely?
BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / LIGHTS ] ;; very!
BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / LIGHTS ] ;; oh! guys! is this a sign that rain hyung is right?!
YOON JINU [ #01 / LIGHTS ] ;; hyuk, she's the mc.
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; i'm glad !
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; now, i'm sorry to disturb--what i assume is a very nice morning-- but i'm required to get this show on the road!
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; so let me ask, are you satisfied with your spot?
◦ TRAINEE ✧ INTERVIEW ◦
YOON JINU [ #01 / LIGHTS ] ;; is this total drama island? why are we filming this in a closet?
STAFF ;; for privacy.
STAFF ;; please tell me how haein's question made you feel?
YOON JINU [ #01 / LIGHTS ] ;; well, considering i was ranked as 14th out of 15, it kinda just pushed me down?
YOON JINU [ #01 / LIGHTS ] ;; *frowns* i already know what i need to work on, but it's almost hard to get myself to actually fix it when a small part of me doesn't believe i can?
YOON JINU [ #01 / LIGHTS ] ;; i don't want to be get emotional right now...
YOON JINU [ #01 / LIGHTS ] ;; can i go back to practice?
◦ ✧ ◦
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; do you feel safe?
◦ TRAINEE ✧ INTERVIEW ◦
LEE HYEON [ #12 / NEON ] ;; i made it into NEON with 1 point more
LEE HYEON [ #12 / NEON ] ;; so it's implied that i can also fall down due to just 1 point right?
LEE HYEON [ #12 / NEON ] ;; *empty laughter* i guess i just have to be ready for everything right?
the scene lingers on for a
moment while hyeon looks at
his fingers and bites his lip
◦ ✧ ◦
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; well don't worry because now's your chance to change that!
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; are you ready for your 2nd to last NEON LIGHTS split?
NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / NEON ] ;; wait ! already? we don't get to hang and perform with this group first?
JUNG TAEWOO [ vocal mentor ] ;; don't get ahead of yourself
NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / NEON ] ;; taewoo?!
taewoo quietly shushes
him by placing a finger
in front of his mouth
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; our producers have conducted a two in one mission
haein gestures this by bringing two fingers together
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; first is our individual test: the theme song mission
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; where you will compete for lines and the most important part, the center
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; please remember that anyone can be the center even if you're not in NEON after re-evaluation
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; as it will be finalized before the process is completed
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; before i explain the second part, would you like to listen to the theme song? *cups ear*
TRAINEES ;; yes !
{will be the show version, just there's not an audio only video for that so-}
LEE HARU [ #16 / NEON ] ;; GO TOMORROW!
JACKIE CHOI [ #05 / NEON ] ;; oh! there's high notes at the end!
JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / NEON ] ;; it's quite vocal heavy...
ROMAN HWANG [ #03 / NEON ] ;; yeah...
NAKAMURA TAKUMI [ #14 / NEON ] ;; new segment coming up called mikael's vocal workshop
in the other room, 3 specific trainees stare at the screen looking nervous in their own ways
BAE MINHYUK [ #08 / LIGHTS ] ;; i'm starting to feel doomed...
KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / LIGHTS ] ;; don't start sounding so hopeless! we can all practice and help each other
SONG NARUU [ #06 / LIGHTS ] ;; the song's nice.
JEONG HYUNJIN [ #13 / LIGHTS ] ;; VERY CORRECT
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; do you like the song?
TRAINEES ;; yes!
[ some faces didn't match this answer... ]
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; *chuckles* i hope so because you'll be performing it in 2 weeks
ROMAN HWANG [ #03 / NEON ] ;; that seems like a lot of time for a survival show?
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; as i said, this re-evaluation includes 2 parts
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; but don't let me get ahead of myself
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; NEON trainees, your theme song test/tryouts will be in 3 days
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; LIGHTS, you have 5 days
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; now onto our team evaluation
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; you will be submitting a dance practice video with your team, except live vocals can be included
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; you will each receive 4 days to do so, unless you decide to submit early
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; afterwards, your re-evaluation will be conducted and your final theme song lines distributed
JEON HAEIN [ MC ] ;; I'll be logging off now, but here's your dance practice song. enjoy!
NEON
LIGHTS
[ after the reveal of the 2nd part, most that were upset before had brightened up ]
KWON MYUNGJOON [ #04 / LIGHTS ] ;; oh, so they really are emphasizing teamwork
JEONG HYUNJIN [ #13 / LIGHTS ] ;; GUYS THE CONCEPT DIFFERENCE! i mean i can pull off anything but i'm surprised they didn't give us the same concept
KWAN BYULYI [ #02 / LIGHTS ] ;; i'm surprised they didn't give us a stray kids song, you know, for the rapper count
KORAIN SEONG [ #10 / LIGHTS ] ;; it was probably based on vibe
YOON JINU [ #01 / LIGHTS ] ;; in that case, NEON's in story mode
JACKIE CHOI [ #05 / NEON ] ;; ow my back... the floorwork
JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / NEON ] ;; calm down. you're not that old
JACKIE CHOI [ #05 / NEON ] ;; no no, remember the last time our choreographers gave us floorwork?
JEON RYUHWAN [ #07 / NEON ] ;; *grimaces* oh yeah
XIA QINGYU [ #11 / NEON ] ;; floorwork is fun
LEE HYEON [ #12 / NEON ] ;; yeah it's not too bad, but i haven't done any in awhile
TO BE CONTINUED...
a/n yes i'm ending it abruptly :)
