[LIVE] #LOONA Vivi and Choerry are on VLIVE

vlive.tv/post/0-27801297

They say it was unfortunate that the stream yesterday ended right when they got there, so they're back today together

The stream suddenly went down real quick, they say they'll use Choerry's phone if it crashes again on the one they're using now

Someone in chat mentioned exercise, and Pilates actually came up the other day, they've been resuming that.
Choerry mentioned when doing arm/hanging exercises, she would pretend the floor would mean death (like imagining crocodiles below), to encourage her to hang on for longer

But hearing that, Vivi told Choerry that if that were really the case, she would just let go and fall to her death, to just get it over with quickly without dragging it all out

[Stream went down again]

Vivi had expected it to crash again, after the first crash

The second thumbnail: they just ate that
They thought about posting some funny photobooth pics they took earlier, but they're thinking about posting that later. So they posted the salad they ate a moment ago

In the photobooth they found that there was a timer that seemingly gave them a lot of time, so before the 3rd pic Vivi went to get glasses but it was faster than they thought, so if you look at the 4 rows of pics, Vivi's missing in the 3rd and Choerry's adjusting her glasses

Fortunately they got two attempts at the photobooth though so they went through it again - they say they'll post the pics later

Vivi's vlive keeps crashing, it crashed even now, just when reading chat

Vivi will be changing her nails soon

Choerry thinks when Vivi changes her nails, the way she does her actions changes, she can't describe it but it changes

Vivi says when adjusting to having long nails she struggled even using her phone, she's usually slow at typing in Korean but then she made even more typos with the longer nails as she couldn't use the tip of her thumb, and would have to use the flatter part

And when cutting food while cooking Vivi's fingers would be in the right place, but she had even cut the newly longer nail before, so she had to pay attention more

Speaking of knives, one time, Choerry was cutting on the cutting board and wasn't really looking, and at some point she was wondering why the food wasn't being cut by the knife and so as she was about to press down, she looked down and she realized the knife was over her fingers

[She wasn't hurt but stopped and she called her mom saying there was almost an accident]
Vivi says Choerry's good at cooking but has to be careful for things like that, and use plastic, glass could be a concern too

Vivi has seen "All of us are dead" - Vivi figures Choerry won't see it though, and Choerry agrees, she won't watch it

Vivi saw it in 2 days, sleeping later and getting up earlier - she can't start dramas for this reason, since she has to get through it ASAP if she starts

[Context: Choerry knife thing was when she was cutting butter making cookies with her younger sister, she felt a tingle and that prompted her to look]
Vivi mentions the halfhuman/halfzombie thing on the show, Choerry doesn't believe the name (jeol-bi) but chat says that's right

They talk about how shows' quality has gone up a lot more, like the zombie makeup.

Vivi: it's really fun. But Choerry says it's too scary.
Choerry: I can't watch it.
Vivi: it's a webtoon right? I had seen that before this came out. A member suggested it, so I had seen it.

Then when the drama came out, I thought I had to see it.
Choerry: I saw it to ep3 or so? Then stopped.
vivi: you can't even deal with the webtoon?
Choerry: Yeah, I said I can't do this.

Vivi would like to try being a jeolbi (half-human half-zombie), full-on zombies are just zombies but half-zombies get stronger and stuff, though it's scary to imagine getting bit by a zombie.

I like zombies but they're still scary.

Vivi's favorite character is Namra

She likes all the characters though, people played their roles well so the annoying people are actually annoying, and the honorable characters seem honorable

Choerry (reading chat): You get used to zombies?
Vivi: yeah, if you watch a bunch, you're just like, yeah, zombies... Though as you watch zombie movies you conclude that humans are scarier. Since they can think, they can manipulate others and scheme. Zombies just run at you.

But still, when she goes to brush her teeth or something at night, she'll sometimes imagine that she's in the universe of "all of us are dead", so she gets a feeling that something's behind her or something

Choerry wonders if she's told that story about her watching Gonjiam - she saw it with Hyeju at the theater on a rainy day. Choerry says she watched it through her hands like this - Vivi said she only did the same in the scene where the ghost whispers at you for a long time

Anyways after the movie, she closed the umbrella she was using and left it, but when she checked later, the umbrella was open again, which freaked her out.
Vivi says Choerry probably just didn't secure the umbrella fully
Choerry: That's exactly what Hyeju said!!

Vivi says you shouldn't act scared in front of a ghost since that might make them want to scare you more, knowing how people like teasing people who give big reactions.
So how about Choerry acts friendly to the ghost, knowing Choerry, they could even be friends

Actually Choerry says her grandpa told her once to just say "i love you~" whenever she thinks there's a ghost nearby - so for example when she was younger and washing her face and got a scary feeling, she would just be like "I love you!" while finishing as fast as she could

(They both think everyone can relate to that feeling when closing your eyes while washing your face)

Vivi mentions a fictional character that was a loner and found a double of herself in the mirror who asked if they wanted to trade spots, so the entity got free and the person ended up being trapped in the mirror,

so speaking of mirrors, Vivi's reminded of that one edit from an older vlive where Go Won's reflection in the mirror moves on its own, that spooked both of them at first
Choerry: "I was like huh? is that real??"
Vivi: how could it be real, ghosts don't ever show up like that.

[they see Hyunjin in chat, who says that Hyeju's scarier than ghosts, but they're not sure if it's her yet]
Vivi: Hyunjin though, she gets scared the easiest, but she also likes trying things. So like, if something's scary, she'll still try touching it real quick then jump back.

They're talking about situations where a neighbor in their apartment would be loud in the adjacent unit or something - there was an instance when late at night something was loud outside their apt door, so Hyunjin went outside just to yell "I HAVE TO SLEEP!!"

Vivi says once the unit above them was loud once too and after bottling it in for a while one time, she screamed as loudly as she could that they were being loud, and then after letting that out, she went to sleep, so she thinks there was a bit of an effect

Hyunjin says she'll be there in 20mins but she'll think about going on vlive since she's not in makeup (the two read this)

Hyunjin's been messing around during practice lately and if the members don't play along the recurring phrase they've been saying is "bet Hyunjin will cry once she gets back to the dorm"
Hyunjin in chat: Aeongie doesn't cry..

Choerry yells to the next room over "unnie when will you arrive" (wondering if she's here yet)

[They call Hyunjin, who says she's on the road right now, and calls herself baby cat (brief english bit; it's also part of her nickname in chat)]
Vivi: are you alone?
Hyunjin: not alone, with the manager. We're on our way, awkwardly.

Talking about the orange game, they say they used to play that a lot when in the van on their way to schedules

Even the game yesterday was fun, they can play any game since they have so many members, even a soccer team

Vivi wants to go on an MT (a trip / retreat), missing things like what they did for LOONAtheTAM.
They're still waiting on COVID for that though

There was an Korean article about how there are so many people who have had COVID by now, that "if you don't know a friend who has gotten it, you must have no friends" which went kinda viral
They say they their dance teacher got it [and recovered], so they're clear there at least

They tell people to stay careful, as the number of cases has gone up a lot lately (this has also been on the news in Korea), and they're getting pretty worried about the concert, even practicing with masks on

Choerry says she hasn't even given her mom spoilers about the concert, only telling her to find out when she comes to see herself

Vivi says Choerry and her mom actually talk as if they're friends

Vivi: you're curious too right orbits? I'm not telling you anything either!~

Hyunjin in chat: alright arriving soon~ make a spot for me~

Choerry: if you leave me alone, I could say something. I could just get excited and spoil something, like "mom I'm doing this and that"... Vivi says Choerry's mom approached the situation wrong, should've pretended not to care so much, then Choerry could've spoiled on her own

But since she asked directly Choerry said no definitely.
Vivi recommends Choerry's mom to try another strategy next time

Choerry: Yeah, Orbits, if you ask for spoilers, we won't tell you anything!
We'd go into it feeling like we want to share what we've been up to, but if you ask? We'll just be like, "Oh, just wait a little longer~"

Chat: please don't spoil anything [etc]
Choerry: wait do they not care? This might hurt my feelings...

So Vivi thinks this strategy will work best on Choerry

[Hyunjin enters, is concerned about not being in makeup, they say she can still use the mask but she hides her face with the doll]

Hyunjin: I don't have any eyebrows right now
Choerry: no it's fine we'll give you eyebrows!

Hyunjin shares a text conversation she had the dance instructor about how he got 100 subs from Orbits after his appearance on last stream, where he said "sleep well~"
"Next time we'll add another 0"
"Next time let's say 'don't get hurt~'"

Hyunjin saw them play the animal kingdom game yesterday and found it so funny how nobody mentioned Choerry's animal. They looked like they were having a lot of fun, she was wishing she were there too

[Hyunjin wants to try playing the game with 3 people, they wonder if it'll be fun with just 3, but will try it for her]

Choerry: this is confusing with 3 people. But I'm very happy now that someone targeted me!

Hyunjin wants to come up with a punishment for losing to raise stakes

Hyunjin suggests getting something at the cafe? for the others, but the others say they're good, they don't want anything
[Hyunjin: :/ ]
Choerry: see this is when we say Hyunjin's gonna cry later at the dorm!

Hyunjin's gotten close to the cafe owner, she's even exchanged numbers with her, and she said iced americanos are now free for her now

Hyunjin: do you believe that nothing's free in the world?
[The other two think no]
Hyunjin: I think yes. The iced americano's free if I go to the cafe upstairs!
[Vivi wonders if the coffee would still be free even if Hyunijn left the company]

They end in a bit of a rush, since there's a knock at the door - they explain that it's time for a meeting that has to do with concert prep, so please understand

As they say bye, Vivi says it's another BBC-style (= abrupt) ending on vlive
