Prima Vista
meaning: at first sight, in music: sight reading; the practice of reading and performing of a piece in a music notation that the performer has not seen or learned before
Tumblr media
A neo-classical group of boys wanting to be recognized, by the right people, on their own terms - by reshaping the classical scene anew.
This is my Project Sekai original unit - Prima Vista! Their Sekai is the Abandoned Castle Sekai, with their Untitled being called 「Turning A New Page」. Their leading feeling is the need for recognition - each of them have different motivations, but they all join in music.
This is them!

(DISCLAIMER: Prima has been written long before the 3rd Anniversary. Kamiyama classes in the Prima universe are SLIGHTLY different than canon.
Nene/An: 2-A -> 2-B
Akito: 2-A -> 2-C
Mizuki/Toya: 2-B -> 2-C
Everything else stays the same as canon.)

Kaii Kotebiki's Birthday 2023 Special Lines
Hayato: Hey, hey, it's finally the day!! You're still our youngest Prince, but you get to be the same age as Maru and Ikuo now! ...For the next few months, of course.
Ranmaru: You've definitely made some progress since we've met you, Kotebiki. Keep it up, hm?
Ikuo: You've been complaining about the cold weather since November, so we thought of a gift together. It should be perfect for you.
Hatsune Miku (Prima Vista): Stay... Everyone is staying behind for longer... Stay with us, please..?
Ichika: Kaii, I bought you a gift... Huh? W-Why are you looking at me like that..? Is the "Complete Virtual Singer Compendium" a bad gift..? Who knows, maybe you'll need it when you mee- W-When you go to a Miku concert...
Saki: Ichi really isn't taking any tips on how to be the older one with Kaii-kun... Well, I can do that for her then! I've learned enough from Tsukasa, hahaha!!
Honami: Oh, so Kaii-kun doesn't like coffee as a drink... But this tiramisu I baked should be fine, right?
Shiho: Saki keeps saying she wants to dazzle Kaii with her presence and... I feel like that would just intimidate him instead of make him happy... Not everyone can follow up on Tsukasa's antics, Saki... Don't pretend to be him...
Kaii: The guys had given me a nice tea mug set with a bunch of warming tea flavors... The issue is that I don't have an electric kettle in my room, so I'll have to buy my own to enjoy them.

Chibi Prima Vista but make it their Sekai outfits
Their outfits are like - "half-canon"
They're definitely their official outfits, but they don't exist in their world of you get what I mean
Kind of how MMJ, Leo/need and Niigo have their outfits they appear in initial 2☆ cards, but they don't actually own them
That's the same with Prima

guess who
back with the pjo x prsk
i only managed to figure out An and Haruka + beginnings of Tsukasa and Ena, so uhhh
STALLING TIME, NO VBS TODAY
Prima Vista (1/2)
Tumblr media
I was thinking which ones I should start with to be fair. I have powers for all of Prima, but I didn't knoe whether to split them for camps, or do mixed pairs or whether to start with Hayato/Kaii or Ranmaru/Ikuo, but I decided for Hayato and Kaii in the end, since you've seen them before in the pjo au posts
Hayato
He was the last one to be admitted to the camp, out of everyone (including the normal characters), but he's known there was "something wrong" with him already. Only after learning about demigods, he realized all those things he's seen over the years are simply because of his godparent, which was obvious to him that it was Apollo. He has no control over his powers and that gives him trouble most of the time.
His side power is that art thing - what's that mean is basically that he can pick up any art form and have it easy. Of course he won't be perfect in anything, unless he practices, but he will have an easier time learning. If you had read the Prima stories earlier, you know that Hayato knows how to play multiple instruments, violin being his most beloved.
His main power is connected to his dreams and that is the ability to see into the future in dreams. Now, it's actually kind of natural for demigods to sometimes have visions inside dreams, but the issue with Hayato is that he sees them every night and they show how the next day will play out. It won't show anything directly, instead it will look like a scene from an anime or a game (personally imagining it like Genshin gameplay and cutscenes). Nothing is fully clear in those dreams - he can't see how he looks like, because a mirror never appears. The people inside the dream only share some features with the real people in his life. The actions are very vivid and at times blurry or simply too fast. It's never clear, so Hayato has to decipher what could possibly happen, but since fate is unpredictable, his judgments end up being partially or completely wrong.
He avoids everything to do with the future-seeing powers - tries not to get claimed by Apollo, wants to escape the fate that he sees and at times he tries going days without sleeping (which actually ends up being worse, because then he sees prophetic hallucinations instead of dreams. He will still not sleep.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(i swear he is so fun to draw, his hair is so fucking satisfying to draw, so simple yet fun)
Oh yeah. He has never told anyone he knows his godparent. Toya is blissfully unaware that suddenly his new classmate is also his half-brother.
Hayato also hid himself away from the camp when he saw a claim sign in his dream, fearing it would be him. It was Kaii's Neptunus claim and Kaii was pretty bummed out that Hayato was nowhere to be seen at that time. Once Hayato heard though, he was very relieved (that it wasn't him) and tried to make it up to him.
Speaking of Kaii
I don't know which Poseidon/Neptunus quirks I vould give him to not make him too OP. As one of the big three, he probably should have something more, but on the other hand - manipulating the water tension is already OP in itself. It all actually comes down to how he uses it and how creative he gets to be with the ideas. At first he finds this unnecessary, since he wasn't able to control it freely, but once he actually started training, he started thinking differently. Here are a few ideas I have for how he could be using his powers:
Tumblr media
The most useful one is definitely the ones relating to mobility. He definitely had a LOT of troubles trying to walk on water, because it was as slippery as ice, due to the surface not having traction. In the end he came up with the idea to slide/skate on it like ice and yep, that sure fixed it.
The "walking on rain" idea came from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, specifically Steel Ball Run. The Stand Catch The Rainbow had the stand user standing on raindrops. I am pretty confident that with some natural water bending and Kaii's tension manipulation, he could freely run on raindrops, but it would most likely be difficult and require TONS of training.
If we're talking about other inspirations for the powers, I like to think that water not breaking tension on him is so funny... He's like a duck if he wants to stay dry... 🦆
As for the not letting enemies outside of the depths, it was inspired by that one twitter comment being like "What if the water just doesn't let you out one day"
I mean, fuck, what IF it doesn't let you out
It would definitely be brutal coming from Kaii, since he can just not let the water break tension around him like if he was in a bubble, but... Well, he is capable of drowning something in self defense. He's pretty desensitized to most physical things and if it's against a monster, he would do it no questions asked. If it was against another (enemy) demigod and he'd let them stay down there for a bit too long... Yeah, he'd have to process this with himself. You can expect him using the water trap very sparringly, last resort even.
If you have any MORE ideas for how he can use these powers... You can share ofc 👀
(bringing this gem back)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Also, one more relating to Ichika and Kaii - in the Prima canon I did make them cousins. Kaii's mom is one of Ichika's parents older sister. I have no clue which one, so... If someone claims a godparent for her, they would still work out as cousins.
I guess even if they ended up not being related in the end, their relationship would still stay as cousins, just... different blood.
As an additional fun fact, in my Prima add-in, Ichika and Kaii entered the camp together. Both of them found it a bit crazy that the other cousin also had the same issues with dyslexia and the "demigod specific" type of neurodivergency and it was incredibly awkward. They have each other's backs tho.
As a bonus: The Big Three of each camp
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Getting sneak peaks for others early woa woa woa
although the Nene/Saki designs might change according to their powers when I do in fact figure them out
you cant tell me Tsukasa wouldnt wear the wreath all the time btw, he got it fair and square and he WILL wear it ‼️‼️

Ranmaru Tokuse's Birthday 2023 Special Lines
Kaii: Happy Birthday, Tokuse-kun... Sorry, I'm not the best with wishes, however... I wish for all of us to improve. That's what you would like as well, right?
Hayato: How do you like that?! You surprised me, so I'm surprising you back! Party time!!
Ikuo: Happy Birthday, Ranmaru. (For some reason, he doesn't look that shocked... Did he expect this?)
Miku (Prima Vista): With a little help from others, I managed to decorate the castle for Ranmaru's birthday! It may not fit the aesthetic of a castle, but it definitely looks festive in the Sekai today.
Ichika: Happy Birthday, Tokuse. Hm? A request..? ...E-eh?! You want Kaii to sing this song at practice..? Fine, I'll record it for you...
Saki: Ran-chan!! Happy Birthday to you~ Happy Birthday to you~~ Happy Birthday to you, Ran-chan! Happy Birthday to you!~ Teehee!☆ ...W-Woah, you're so red, are you okay?!
Honami: I've overheard something about allergies... Do you have any food related ones..? No? Oh, that means I can bake you something nice without restrictions!
Shiho: Happy Birthday. ... ...If you ever feel like managing everything gets to you a little too much, you can call me. I'll give you some advice, based on my experiences.
Ranmaru: It's not easy to forget my own birthday. Each year is always festive from morning to evening, however... For those guys I can pretend I forgot about it.
Tumblr media
Happy Birthday to another one of them :3
Now the only one without a birthday card is Ikuo and he should have the 3rd gen birthday card (because he's from October), but I want all of them to match, so I'll make it in 2nd gen style when the time comes
Hope you enjoy your birthday, Ranmaru

Ikuo Heiru's Birthday 2023 Special Lines
Kaii: It's been a massive pain trying to organize a party with Edogawa-kun and Tokuse-kun... I really hope they won't start bickering near Heiru-kun this time.
Hayato: There, let me just cover your eyes for a mom-... Eh?! What do you mean you already know?! ... You saw the preparations being made by accident? Oh man, and here I thought we'd surprise you!
Ranmaru: There, there... If you feel special today, I hope that feeling finally sticks to you for the rest of time, because you've always been special to us... Corny?! No, I'm not!!
Miku (Prima Vista): Ikuo-kun... Happy Birthday. Everyone tried to prepare some snacks, so I hope you enjoy them.
Ichika: E-Eh?! Everyone found Heiru today besides me?! Uhm... How can I send a birthday message to him... I don't want to look like I forgot!! Maybe Kaii will pass it on..?
Saki: Ah, I'm so happy that I ran into you!! Here, a gift from me! I was about to go to the middle school section and find your sister, but the hall monitors stopped me..! Luckily there's no need to sneak around now! ☆
Honami: Heiru-chan, happy birthday..! I managed to bake some cookies for you, I hope you'll enjoy them.
Shiho: Oh, Heiru, happy birthday. What are you doing here..? ... Huh?!! This shop has birthday discounts for ramen bowls!? Do I wish to join you..? W-well, if you insist...
Ikuo: Everyone's going out of their way to wish me a happy birthday... Even my online friend sent me a message, because I forgot my birthday date in game was public...
Tumblr media
I have no fucking clue how I managed to draw that while tiering for t500 in the busiest ENsekai event yet

4☆ Ranmaru Tokuse - Fatal Injury And Misplaced Intentions
Side Story 1
"However I can help, I can always contact people and they can always try to-"
"Kotebiki, I mean it. Give up."
Kaii and Ranmaru sat on some broken pieces of what used to be marble buildings inside the Sekai. Ranmaru had chosen this place to tell the other about his condition simply because it felt private. There may have been Virtual Singers residing in the castle nearby, but since all of them were out of their sight, Ranmaru decided it would be the right place to share.
"You said you're holding a grudge, yet it's not your fault that you've ended up this way, so… Why?"
"You don't have to hear this story. It's pretty heavy and it would only bum you out."
"You're assuming things about me again." Kaii glared at him. "I thought we've gone over that, all four of us. I've witnessed tragic events first hand at the hospital, I will be fine hearing out one more."
"...It's a little long."
"We have the time. I will listen until the end."
Ranmaru reminded himself of the memories preceding the event from back when he was around 5 years old. It was supposed to be just him and his mom at home, his dad leaving for his acting work. Usually childhood Ranmaru would wake up later, but he was awakened by a knock on the door, followed by some girly laughter. Rubbing his eyes, he quietly peeked out the door, avoiding being seen.
"The same as usual, alright honey?" Ranmaru's mom stood in front of the main entrance, struggling to put on heels that matched her stunning dress, as she welcomed a different woman into the house. Ranmaru already knew who she was, one of his mom's friends who often came to babysit him instead of his mom, but he wasn't really fond of her, being a complete stranger.
"Of course, I'll take care of your little Ranmaru for you. He's a quiet child, so he's very easy to deal with. Go and have fun out there, girl!" The friend replied, inducing laughter in both of them.
Ranmaru shyly stepped out of his room and walked up to the two women. "Mommy..? You're leaving… again..?"
"Oi..! Ranmaru baby, you weren't supposed to wake up this early! Go back to bed…" His mom finally stood up on her heels. She was fully suited up, with a fancy dress and bag to match, her long brown hair flowing down freely, but looking as if she had just styled it, in full make-up, with red tinted lips and smokey eyeshadow, complementing her golden eyes. Ranmaru trotted up behind her, hiding from her friend, holding the dress with his small hands.
"When will you stay..? You always leave and come back before daddy returns…" He whispered to her, hoping her friend wouldn't hear it. He gave a side eye in her direction, to which she just smiled, ready to place her own bag somewhere and start relaxing herself in the big house.
"Tsk, tsk, Ranmaru… It's pretty selfish of you to stop someone like that… Ah, I know! Your dad wanted to give you something when he has a longer break, but it shouldn't matter much if I gave you the gift now!"
"...Gift from daddy?" He asked quietly, as his mom quickly ran deeper into the house and returned with a box.
"Ta-dah!! It's a recorder! Your dad mentioned something something about you being interested, but it slipped my mind a little! There you go, you can play it while I'm gone!"
"He remembered… What I told him about the last gala, with the flute boy…" He stared at the box in awe for a little while, until he realized his mom was almost out the door. "Mommy..!"
"I will come back later, pookie!" She said, before slamming the door and leaving Ranmaru and her friend at the house. The woman tried to pat his head on her way into the house, but the boy avoided it and ran into his room.
"I don't want her in our house… I thought… Mommy would want to listen." He looked at the box for a while, before opening it up and assembling the instrument with the two pieces it came with.
"But if I learn now, I will get both daddy and mommy to listen later!!"
He looked inside the box once more and took out a little pamphlet with how to assemble it properly, as well as a beginner song to play. He couldn't read any of it, not even the title of the song, so he was forced to give up on playing the notes.
"I can always compose something myself then! But how do I play..?"
He put the mouthpiece to his mouth and gave it a little gentle blow. The instrument let out a quiet whistle, but not loud enough to play a song. He tried it way stronger and frightened himself with how loud and high the sound was.
"Ah, no no no! I don't mean to worry mommy's friend…"
"Hmm… It's not the same instrument as that boy from back then… But he was using his fingers to block the holes, so maybe…"
He clumsily covered all of the small openings and blew into the instrument again, this time the sound being lower and more controlled. Ranmaru took a few deep breaths afterwards.
"It's so tiring already…"
"But I want to play! It's fun figuring it out!"
Each time he put the recorder to his mouth, he tried opening and closing different holes to test various notes. Everytime he did, he had to put the instrument away, take a breather and try again, with each break starting to be longer and longer. He barely managed to play the doremi scale on one breath, he wasn't able to do it backwards - not without placing the recorder down and sitting on his bed to rest his body from how compressed his chest felt.
"Daddy gave me this… So I'll play for him when he comes back!"
Despite the feeling of pressure building up inside, he stood up and picked up the instrument yet again. A few more nervous breaths before he played a weird melody on the spot. It wasn't harmonic at all - he let go of different holes at random and his irregular breathing made the volume of each note weird and chaotic. Not knowing instruments well, the quality of the recorder wasn't the best either, adding onto how bad the performance was. Instead of stopping for a break, Ranmaru inhaled through the mouthpiece and continued on. The more air he tried to breathe in as he went on, the more intensive his blowing became, to a point where the recorder's sound hurt his ears again.
"HAAAGH..! *cough cough*" He wanted to breathe in again, only to realize he couldn't. It felt like his throat had contracted in on itself and barely any air could enter through. There wasn't anything on his chest, but it was as if something heavy was dropped right on his lungs.
"Help! Please help!!" He wanted to scream, but he made no sound. "Daddy! Come back home, please!!"
He dropped the recorder and tried to beat his chest a few times, full of panic, hoping it would help, but it didn't. He still wasn't able to breathe in enough air and the heart beating in his chest accelerated each second.
"I'm feeling dizzy…" Was his last thought, before his vision went dark and he hit the floor with a thud.
Side Story 2
The next time he opened his eyes, bright lights kept passing by him, blinding him. Every sound he heard was barely coherent and he was too weak to move much. Once he woke up enough, he realized how many people were moving him around on a hospital bed, none of them being familiar besides his mom's friend.
"She's not picking up!" Was what he understood from what she was saying, hysterically crying in between sentences. Still dazed, he stretched out his fingers, attempting to ground himself back to reality. He noticed he had a mask on his face, but while it was uncomfortable, he knew it helped him breathe better - it was difficult, but he was no longer panicking.
"He woke up!" A person in white spotted him, to which he immediately turned his eyes away from everyone, not wanting the attention.
"Little Ranmaru, may you give us any contact information to any of your other relatives?" A doctor spoke to him, but there was no answer. Not because Ranmaru didn't want to, but because he couldn't speak.
"Daddy taught me his number… But how can I tell them?"
"No, no! There's no need for that!" His mom's friend started protesting against it. "I'm sure his mom is going to pick up soon! No need to trouble his dad, he's a very busy man and he surely won't be able to come! There's also the fact he's a very shy boy, he might be too intimidated by all of us and-"
"Miss, you're not a close relative. You may continue calling his mother, but until then, we need any contact with his family."
"Daddy… He wouldn't leave me behind if he knew I was in danger…" Ranmaru glanced at his mom's friend, who was pulled back away, as the other assistants led him into a room on the bed. He weakly tried pointing to his hands, hoping to show them the numbers that go to his dad's phone number.
"Fingers! Are you going to show us how to call your dad?" The doctor asked, to which Ranmaru slightly nodded. "Someone write it down!"
The longer he signed, the more his surroundings became a blur, but he knew he needed to get his message across. Before passing out again, he was able to hear how the doctors repeated the correct number to him, but he couldn't confirm it to them.
Throughout some time, it was all black. He wasn't dreaming of anything, it was pitch darkness. Sometimes there were some muffled sounds of machines or voices around him, but nothing he could have focused on. That held true until he heard a familiar voice right outside his room's door, speaking with someone else.
"Dad..?" He thought and focused his mind a little bit more. He could only hear a bunch of words that made no sense in his little mind.
"Will you… truth… stand it?!"
"I have…! …said is true!"
"...lying! I can… request… find out!"
"There's… zero… You don't..!"
"The more you… the less… You left him…! Do… love him?!" After this, there was a moment of silence outside the door. It gave enough time for Ranmaru to wake up properly. "Leave. Right now."
Soon, he heard the steady clicking of heels moving away, his dad no longer saying anything. He only caught a sniffle and a sigh, before the door opened and he saw his father standing in the frame.
"Daddy..!" He wanted to speak, but unable to, he could only crack a smile. His dad ran up to him soon after and took his hand in his.
"Ranmaru! My little superstar, there you are…!" It was painfully obvious his dad was holding back tears. To this day, Ranmaru pretends he never noticed. "I came as soon as I received the call… I'm so glad you actually used the number I taught you…"
"I knew he would come…"
"Nobody could have known it would turn out this way… I knew you wanted to play music, so I wanted to give you the recorder myself, but your mom really spoiled the surprise, huh..?" He stayed quiet for a short moment, before he was able to speak again. "I'm so sorry… I wanted to hear you play, but now it's…"
Ranmaru kept looking at his dad's blue eyes, clearly troubled on how to break some things to him. "I know you really wanted to go with the flute, but the doctors… Well, they said it's not really going to be possible. I know you won't really understand the details, so I'll tell you in the simplest way I can… We can nurse you back to health with some exercises, but it's still going to be a bit difficult speaking… And it might hurt you again if you play. The "babysitter" I had no idea existed didn't notice you got hurt for a tad too long, so the damage can't be fully reversed."
"..........." Tears began welling up inside Ranmaru's eyes. First he was left alone to suffer without air, to the point he permanently hurt himself and now he's being told he can't play the instrument he just received..?
"H-Hey, hey, keep your chin up, little guy..!" His dad's voice was on the verge of breaking, but he still managed to playfully squish Ranmaru's cheek, where the mask wasn't reaching his face. "There are other ways you can appreciate music. You wanted to reach that guy, right? I'm sure you will be able to, even without having to play. How about this - what if I took you to some sort of concert after you recover, hm? Would you like to see more people play?"
His dad wasn't able to stop him from crying, but even then, Ranmaru nodded. That was the only thing he could have done at that time. He knew his dad only wanted to repay for the time he couldn't be by his side. He always listens to his kid talk about his interests and comes up with ideas to spend time with him based on that and everytime that happens, Ranmaru appreciates it as much as he can.
Having told the main part of the story, Ranmaru was forced to finally finish it up.
"It wasn't long before my dad filed for divorce. Everytime I had asked him for reasons, he said that the love was one-sided. He still loves her, so he never remarried, meanwhile she found a new husband the same year. I do believe this incident was another reason - there are times my dad looks at me with a hint of sadness in his eyes, probably regretting what happened." He sighed, but noticed that Kaii was still listening. The other boy simply didn't say anything, not even ask a question. Thinking of what he was about to say next filled him with rage and he clenched his fists together. "Even then, I don't blame my dad for what happened. However… I can't say the same for her. Breaking the heart of the purest man walking this earth, leaving me alone with someone I didn't know, abandoning me to suffer on my own… Those are not things I can forgive."
Ranmaru laid his back onto the ruins of the building. Some pieces of stone were itching on his back, but he didn't pay it much attention, even if it was uncomfortable. "My dad did take me to a musical concert when I recovered enough. It turned out to be a competition between some young classical artists and the winner of said competition was a pianist. He really captured my heart, so I asked if I could play the piano instead. My dad didn't make the same mistake and signed me up for the best school he was able to find around Shibuya."
"..." Kaii didn't respond for a little while after Ranmaru finished talking.
"I told you it would upset you."
"It's not that." Kaii admitted. "I've been told so many difficult stories already, my mom makes sure to prepare me for those, it's just… It was a major event in your life, while it shouldn't have. You said you can talk freely, but… Is that really the truth?"
"For the most part, yes. I will confess however - during practice, the heavy feeling in my chest sometimes returns. Whenever that happens, I'm either trying to pull through or finding the tiniest mistake, so I can excuse a break. You can call me mean if you want to, but when I can't find anything to point out, I make Edogawa think he made a mistake, just so I can rest. Well, rereading the score sheet will help him too, but there are times where I really need to rest my body."
"Please tell me when such a thing happens, alright..? Just for your safety."
"...I can't promise I will. Well, telling you this whole thing is already embarrassing. So far only my family members and Ikuo knew how weak I am."
"You're not weak." Kaii moved closer to him, gazing at him from above. Ranmaru couldn't really sit up when Kaii was leaning forwards like this, so he just accepted it. "It actually proves the opposite. You overcame all odds and rehabilitated yourself to a level no doctors expected from you, while also diligently learning everything about music. It shows your whole love and dedication to what you dream for."
"K-Kotebiki…" Ranmaru was quick to cover his face with his arm.
"I respect that a lot… Your ambition is really contagious."
"Okay! Okay! Stop, stop!" He almost slipped off the ruins he was laying on, but he used both of his arms to bury himself in. "I've got it..! You don't have to tell me anything more!"
"But… Thank you."
PS
