WHO: Yoshimi and Toru
WHAT: Rescue attempts
WHERE: Nanakamado, second floor
WHEN: Shortly before the idol event
WHY: Because Yoshi's stuck in three vending machines... at the same time.

Yoshimi sighed, wishing, not for the first time, that she could at least rest her arm for a minute. What had started as a simple mission (buy Bromonade, get pumped, attend own Nanakamado Idol debut) had rapidly spiraled out of control; as it stood, her curtain call was in half an hour, her arm was hopelessly stuck in the vending machine in front of her, and her feet were caught in a pair of vending machines set catty-corner to her.

After struggling for a few minutes, she'd given up on hoping for some random bystander to find her within a reasonable amount of time and had texted Toru for help, but that still left her with nothing to do but wait. And waiting, she decided after another failed attempt to get comfortable, always sucked.

Luckily for Yoshimi, Toru was already available and on the move. He had just been suiting up for his own debut in the idol competition (oh god why) when the text reached him, and it was only a few moments of fastening belts and zippers before he rushed through the halls of the dorms to the vending machines where she apparently was. Her situation seemed so urgent that he neglected to even pay attention to anybody who may have stared at his idol costume as he passed them.

Soon enough, he reached the place where Yoshimi was imprisoned by her snack-filled captors. Were it not for the fact that she was his friend, and in trouble, Toru would have laughed at her plight. Getting a hand and two feet stuck in three different vending machines was a feat.

"O-oh god, Yoshimi-san, you really are stuck... er... um... what should I do? Uh, er... should I focus on your hand, o-or your feet? Er... um..." He swayed back and forth uncomfortably, not sure what to do. Unconscious of it, he tugged at one of his fake cat ears with his hand.

Yoshimi just nodded gravely to confirm that she was really, terribly, record-breakingly stuck.

"If you can get my legs out, I should be able to handle my arm. It's these stupid shoes that I can't get to," she explained, glaring at one of her strappy leather heels. "I wanted get them broken in before the show, but..."

She sighed again. This had really seemed like a good idea, right up until the part where she got stuck. But now she had company, and a rescue attempt was in progress (though she wasn't entirely sure that anything short of the Mandibles of Rescue would be able to extract her), so she turned her attention toward Toru and prepared to make the best of it.

"...you're a kitty." She blinked. While it was by no means a complaint (she was, in fact, filing the moment away into her Things About My Teammates That I Find Really Moe memory bank), and she was sure that this development was related to the idol event, she was still caught off guard. "You signed up?"

Toru nodded in return, and crouched down near Yoshimi's legs. Her shoes were indeed keeping her feet stuck in the slots of the two vending machines. He'd have to remove them in order to free her.

"Yoshimi-san, hold still. I need to take your shoes off." He said this without looking up, after having considered that doing so would result in him seeing up her skirt. The results of that would the the last thing he needed at a time like this.

With surprisingly deft fingers, he began the process of undoing the parts of the shoes that kept them attached to her feet, tugging at this, wiggling that, occasionally crossing his fingers and hoping that Yoshimi wouldn't cry out in pain or anything from what he was about to do.

Eventually, he managed to get one of her shoes off (but her foot remained in the vending machine.) He sighed and spoke.

"Well, I got one shoe off. C-can you move your foot better now?"

Yoshimi obediently stopped squirming while Toru worked on the shoe, resolving to herself that she was going to avoid pretty but impractical footwear from here on out. And also skirts, because they clearly did not mesh well with her rough and tumble nature. Didn't I already swear off of skirts? Of course this had to happen while I was all dressed up. Couldn't just happen on a regular school day, when— oh, it's off.

Cautiously, she tried to work her foot out of the drink retrieval slot, grinning when she finally got it free.

"Hey, it worked!" She shifted her weight to take the newly-freed leg into account, resulting in a position that was no less compromising but a good deal more comfortable. "Geez, you're a lifesaver! And these shoes are stupid. Can you get the other one?"

"Sure," Toru said, and nodded (without eye contact). The second shoe was just as annoying as the first to remove, but he at least now had an idea of what worked and what didn't. Putting his hands to the task, he let his mind drift to conversation.

"S-so, er, what's your 'idol persona,' anyway? Mine's pretty obvious, I guess... Tank-senpai thought it was a good idea."

With a few more tugs, the shoe was loose, and with a bit of wiggling, it came off. "I think your feet will be fine now, Yoshimi-san."

"Vampire Princess Tacchin!" Yoshimi announced, only prevented from posing dramatically by the fact that she was still stuck in two vending machines. "Like the princess in Blood Tango, if you follow that. She's all delicate and beautifully tragic, and I think there's an untapped target audience that's really into that." The fact that nothing about Yoshimi herself seemed to match this description didn't seem to have occurred to her yet.

Once her feet were firmly back on the ground, she braced herself against the remaining vending machine and yanked her arm out, Bromonade in hand. "This," she said, indicating the hard-won bottle, "is going to taste like victory. And electrolytes. And natural and artificial strawberry flavoring. But also victory. ...thanks for coming out here to help me, Toru-kun."

"O-oh... well, I think I read a doujin for that once... and I've seen the art before. I can see what you're getting at! Tank-senpai wanted me to look like Riku-kun from Heartless, s-so... yeah." With some mixture of embarrassment and slight pride, he tugged at the cat ears and tail.

"D-do you think they get the right effect across?" From his body language, he was clearly less worried about the cat accessories and more about the terribly short shorts he was wearing.

Toru stood up along with Yoshimi, and nodded approvingly. "Bromonade, huh. Sounds like it was worth it! Ehehe." He seemed a bit sheepish, but at least proud. "It's no problem, er, 'Tacchin'! That's what teammates are for, right?"

Out of the corner of his eye, Toru regarded the clock. "Oh man, w-we need to get going! The idol introductions are going to start pretty soon, I think..."
