ALL OF YOU, STOP BROADCASTING!!!!!!

[ The screen is filled with. A face. And just a face. But it is an extremely important face, as it belongs to Shikyoin Hibiki. Those who do not understand the importance of this fact....should. And shall, soon.

Hibiki draws back from the screen to continue her fit of pique. In her usual environment she'd just tell the room of people she keeps on hire in her house to call complaint hotlines to do something about this, but deprived of that resource, she'll just. Vent. ]

This is a public venue! Whatever it is you haven't received a respite from, spew your frustration in private where it doesn't clutter up other people's lives!!

[ She heaves a stoic and long-suffering sigh. ] To have attracted such a discordant medley of visitors.....this puniverse is even more inscrutable than I'd thought.

My charms will speak for themselves, soon enough.

[ Perhaps for some audiences, repeat viewings become necessary because their minds couldn't fully entertain the idea that such excellence was possible. Hibiki is willing to be generous.

She has completely lost track of why she originally posted. ]

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki is starting to get that impression.

She is also starting to get a headache. ]

It's certainly an....unruly audience.

[redlightgreenlight]

I'm sure your charms are...adequate, for your world at least.

[priforprince]

I aim to overwhelm.

[ It's the most effective way of putting competition in its place while providing excitement for the audience. ]

[redlightgreenlight]

If that's your goal, you aren't doing very well. I am quite underwhelmed.

[She is still smiling though]

[theinfamous1412]

[ Somehow, he has a good portion of his world convinced he's a genius. ]

It's an important part of my craft-Charisma.

[ninjainviolet]

[ Greeeeaaatttt. ]

Well, I guess it's good you think so, isn't it?

[ Sheena sure doesn't. ]

[corundrum]

[That outright makes Padparadscha laugh before they lean in a little towards the camera.] Oh, little one. The ones who think they understand the most understand the least. Claming to understand everything shows you understand nothing of what that means.

[denyamenti]

By all means, keep trying to shush them, the entertainment is well worth it.

[ For Bakura, perhaps. Maybe not so much for Hibiki... ]

[priforprince]

I suppose you're also here to entertain the citizens.

[ They brought her, and then they brought a stage magician? A motley assortment. ]

[priforprince]

As if you comprehend the depths of my understanding.

[ Even Hibiki can tell this "no, you" tack is going nowhere, though. ]

In any case, this network is disruptive.

[priforprince]

Accurately assessing one's own talent is a crucial skill.

[ It's okay. She'll think it for the both of them. ]

[priforprince]

Wait and see.

[ Hibiki smirks.

And then, because she's sensing she was just challenged, smooths that smirk into a smile. The air around her lightens, fills with sparkles and little twinkle effects. ] Your belief in me is like a flickering candle. I want to fan it and heat my heart with its warmth.

[ NO ONE CAN RESIST THIS ]

[redlightgreenlight]

[Valdis arches a brow, still unimpressed.]

If I'm supposed to be seeing something impressive, I'm still waiting.

[priforprince]

You'll know when I begin to entertain.

[ It won't be while she has this....nngh.

Hibiki has to rub her head. ]

[priforprince]

Our connection must be faulty. Such a pity.

[ The light show grows in intensity. She is such! A handsome! And generally attractive! Irresistible! Individual! ]

Doubt doesn't suit one as lovely as you.

[redlightgreenlight]

[As if she hasn't heard that before, but for entertainment's sake, she'll bite.]

You really think I'm pretty?

[corundrum]

Comprehending something that doesn't exist is a little difficult, huh?

[You are not winning the sass war against a 3700 year old, Hibiki.]

It's a quick way to distribute information. And it's been doing that job very well, from what little I've seen of it so far.

[priforprince]

The yimo blushes at having to attempt to convey your beauty.

[ Hibiki thinks she's found an in. ] It's growing warmer.

[ Or maybe you've had your electronics on too long, Hibiki. ]

[priforprince]

A text-based PPS would be less intrusive.

[ SOCIAL MEDIA OPINIONS ]

This puniverse has a distressingly uneven technological level...

[redlightgreenlight]

[This is far too easy]

You flatter me.

[theinfamous1412]

Sure, I love preforming in front of a live audience.

[corundrum]

Ah, well, this certainly seems to have text options. But since it's so early in this tale, I think many of us want to hear and see assurances of not being alone.

[It's one of those things Padparadscha can't imagine any species going without the urge for. Even Lunarians come in clusters, never alone.]

Are you really going to begrudge them that, little one?

[priforprince]

I abhor falsehoods.

[ This is true.

This does not stop her from being a big honking huge liar, but it, itself, is at least true. ]

[priforprince]

That should serve as a sufficient counterpoint.

[ SHIKYOIN HIBIKI HAS PERMITTED YOUR EXISTENCE. Congratulations. ] I look forward to your debut.
