Kazuki didn't care much for the Faberge corporation but when he heard of the chance to offer some help for a charity concert he couldn't sign up quicker.  Apparently Otonoki was a pretty well-off town, the biggest areas of concern being the youth center and the local library.  In no way did he wish ill upon the unfortunate but at times he did want there to be a bit more to do.  He was already helping with litter collection and tutoring and still he had more than enough time to waste sitting around meditating.  He could have reached nirvana and back with how much free time he had, and the only thing keeping him sane was his constant texts to his ex and the neverending drama that was the twitter timeline.

Thankfully for him it seemed that giant waste of space did more than just sell out people for their below-average talents.  Concerts were never really his thing but the idea of helping raise money for charity lit a fire in him that had him running to the place.  Already efforts were strong to get the concert ready and Kazuki quickly joined the group of people trying to lift some of the heavier equipment up into the stands.  Rolling up his sleeves, he pulled at the ropes that hoisted the curtains, drawing them higher and higher while the performers practiced on stage.

[Daichi]

Don't ask him why he was here. Honestly if he got yen for every time Taiki signed him up for something with out his knowledge then he would be a somewhat well of teenager. The little fairy had written him down as a helper. He wasn't as bad at it could have been though- Taiki could have signed him up to perform for one thing. Daichi was very very thankful he didn't over step his bounds. Now he was currently moving around amps and stereos around the stage. They were on the smallish size to, still rather heavy. At first he thought he really wasn't strong enough but as he started to move them he realized holy shit this isn't really that hard. Maybe that being a hero- Along with sparing with Kendo and archery was doing him so good after all.

While finishing up his task he took a look around. He spotted a strange head of orange hair? That was fairly uncommon... Taiki took notice as well as he peek for the hood of the boys jacket. " Ooo, how interesting. You should say hi! We are here to make friends after all." Daichi mumbled to the little hero as he moved some cords around with his foot. " Is that what this was for?" Grinning the fairy chimed, " But of course! A hero needs friends and allies if they want to get anywhere!"

Daichi had no intention of bothering the other boy- As he turned away to go look around to see what need to be done. Taiki stepped in, " To a boy who wont talk to others, To a boy who can! Write, Dream, Create!" Quicker then you can say 'mistake' a black pen poofed behind his ear and he headed over to the boy pulling up the curtains. Offering a bright smile, and a wave, " Hey do you need any help?" He prompted.

[Kazuki]

Kazuki was never a terribly athletic person but the work he'd done building houses and cleaning gutters left him fit enough to pull the ropes the last bit. Grasping onto them with one stiff arm, he grabbed the end and wrapped it around at the bottom to secure them. With a quick tug to check the tightness, he let the long cords go and stood back to look at his handiwork. It wasn't so bad, he thought to himself, turning his head this way and that to check for crookedness. There were still sandbags to move and lights to adjust but at least the curtains were done.

Dusting himself off, he turned at the voice of the boy who suddenly appeared. Kazuki's eyes widened in surprise at his question, quickly laughing and shaking his head. "No, no, I'm quite alright. Thank you for the offer though, it's much appreciated. You're a... Seiyo student, right?" It was a lucky guess but the boy didn't look old enough to be anything but a student. There wasn't much pizzazz to his looks either, leaving Kazuki to wonder if he was a fellow volunteer.

Noticing the strange pen tucked behind his ear, the boy tilted his head then looked off to the main stage. "Ah, actually if you could help me with the backdrop that would be great. I don't think anyone can manage it on their own, it's rather heavy. A bit of a waste of material, but what do I know, right?"

[Daichi]

"Sure am! I'm Fujiwara Daichi, I'm a second year. Its nice to meet you." He responded cheerfully, and with a small smile. " Do you happen to go to Seiyo as well?" He asked curiously. Looking at Kazuki- Holy shit this guy was tall. He it wasn't until he was actually standing that he really took notice, while it was only a few inches compared to his own height it was still a distance. Then again growing up with two older brothers who were quite tall it wasn't that off putting honestly. Just a surprise.

He followed the others gaze and spotted the backdrop in question." Sure thing, I'm sure it will be easier with the two of us. Lead the way." Then he laughed slightly, " Honestly I dont even know what half the things here are for- I'm not much for show business. "

[Kazuki]

This guy seemed genuinely nice, and he was willing to help out. If Kazuki didn't know any better he'd say this classmate of his was a pure respectable human being. Then again he'd thought that about a lot of people at this school and they'd all turned out to be a complete and utter disgrace. Still, it wasn't nice to write this guy off immediately. "Mori Kazuki, class 2A. Nice to meet you too."

The accepted offer of help only brightened up Kazuki's day even more and he led the other to the ropes. Daichi could hold one and he could hold the other and they would be able to raise it high enough to keep it from falling on any of the innocent performers' heads during whatever was going on here. "Neither am I. It just... feels good to lend a hand, you know? Otonoki isn't exactly a needy town and it's difficult to find open community service work here. Usually I have to stick to the children's center or the soup kitchen to help out."

[Daichi]

Daichi smile brightly at the other. Walking with the other till they go to the ropes. The hero took one in hand and started to pull. Thats what he was supposed to do, right? " Wow you sound like a pretty busy guy, also a pretty good person too." Daichi spoke truthfully. " You know I've never done any community service. Though I suppose it wouldn't be all that bad considering you help people out."

Well he doesn't know if you would count saving egg's and guardian characters a community service. It was kinda the same thing right? You help out people who need it. You are better for it. It may not get you from getting out of jail or anything but it was still something worth the time right?

[Kazuki]

"Well, my parents own a shrine and they kind of got my sister and I into it," Kazuki began to pull on the rope as the background image lifted slowly into the air. It wasn't easy work but it was less stressful on the muscles than trying to repair rooftops. At least he couldn't fall through the ceiling with this, "We went out every weekend to help one of the families that came looking for work. Usually they asked my dad for exorcisms and then we'd be dropped off on the way."

Once the background was set in place, he wrapped the rope back around its handle and tied a strong knot. That would hopefully hold until the show began. "Now we do it just 'cause..... well, it feels good to help out. There's a lot of people that don't have as much as us, you know? As human beings we have to look out for each other."
