[Tokyo, Public Park/Noon/Summer]
[KiraKira★Pretty Cure à la Mode, stage show]
God, you can’t look away, no matter how much you look, you can’t tell wether this is impressive, cringe. Maybe it’s both? Nevertheless, these actors don’t fail to impress, you been scared maybe an accident will happen ruining the performance for all the kids, but it doesn’t happen.
You watch among a crows of kids and parents, a free public stage show of Precure. Those ones where the characters are in costumes/kigurumi, plastic anime mask, hadatai and everything else of the characters appearance and clothing where the entire thing is pre-recorded and played by speakers, the actor’s acting the dialogue, since they’re in kigurumi.
As of now, you’re watching the end of the play as the entire team of cures (Cure Whip, Gelato, Custard, Macaron, Chocolat and Parfait) team-up on the villain for this show, Bibury after a 20 minute worth of shenanigans of an average magical girl show, live acted. The stage is basically a concrete stage in the open with barely nothing but the props provided to the actors, but they make it work so well with the music and sound effects in the background.
Bibury gets her ass kicked (like always) and runs away, then the cures perform a short musical number before leaving, running and waving as the show ends into the backstage of the park’s backstage, everyone dispersing or going to buy merch from the pop-up shop nearby, you could do that, but let’s be honest.
You want to see those actors take off their kigurumi to see who were really doing beneath the masks and hadatai. You circle around the large white backstage tent and sneak in, somehow without much staff or people, you’re able to…Walk within much worrying, are they on break…? No they must be helping the performers getting out their-
”…”
As you reach the deepest tent of the backstage, you’re greeted to quite a disturbing sight. ALL THE CHARACTERS, the cures and Bibury are all lined up like dolls with cable attached to their backs coming from recently set-up computers, they’re completely still with their slumped like deactivated robots, which…It would seem they are..? You’re about to move when unfortunately you step on a dropped soda can from the staff on the tent’s floor, you look up and notice all the robots in Kigurumi don’t react, except one: Cure Macaron.
She’s wearing a full hadatai bodysuit—skin-colored—underneath her clothing, a wig, and a mask with the face of Yukari/Cure Macaron, which has a permanent, unchanging expression with sharp red purples and a permanent small, sly smirk with blush—the kigurumi making her look like a doll or figurine of the character. The mask fully covers her face, and the mannequin robot underneath lacks any features, no face or skin color, being a white silicone body shape. She’s not programmed to talk at all as she doesn’t even have a voice box.
Her head audibly whirrs as her neck straightens to look forward, the mannequin in kigurumi activating and scanning the area as their head moves left and right in fluid motion. The character’s mask remaining the unchanging sly smirk of Cure Macaron. It eventually spots you looking up at her, her head snapping to look down at you. She goes still as she scans you information in how to proceed.
Since she’s not in a show routine or in front a staff member, she enters meet and greet mode, completely oblivious that this is NOT the moment for one, having all the other characters, charging and deactivated, not like it would understand.
She gets in character as Cure Macaron as she gets in a more sly and playful personality, also acting like a cat girl. She gives you a slow charming wave, before her leg servos begin whirring as she steps right up to your face, looking at you to determine your height for a hug invitation. She extends her arms towards your and tilts her head, staring at you with the mask’s still smirk, waiting for you to accept her hug. If she’s too tall for you, pull on her skirt and the android will register it, crouching down automatically.
