The entrance of the main character (former) is always fshy and dazzling!
Enter!The [Exposer of Conspiracies], La-Roux![SFX:Fireworks]
Back home, watching live...
A certain auburn-haired sorceress chokes on a mouthful of vegetable soup.
She can hear the resounding roar of the night all the way from below the loft! Even if they had no idea who La-Roux is, the dramatic entrance had to count for something!
Furthermore...
The person on-screen right now was unmistakably someone she knew. From the post-production sparkles, to camera angle of hip sway! Down to the thin bck half-cloak spread across her overly-ced top! The person on-screen was without a doubt, one half of the famous veetubaing duo, Trabul Twins: La-Roux!
Anyone can put on a skinsuit, but to have the termerity to glide down to the loft like a giant bat outta nowhere takes some athlethic skill and frequent disregard for danger!
What's La-Roux doing on the 'Keys To The Loft' show?!
As Sachiin's ink golem thumps heavy inky rub-a-dubs onto her back, the camera angle cuts to a wide shot, showing the three judges, Doktah, Saint-Taiga, and La-Roux in the same space! Reflected in the orb, Saint-Taiga and La-Roux share an embrace, as if they were meeting for the very first time! The entire time, Doktah looks on with reserved politeness, gncing at an angle towards the direction of an offscreen side-camera.
"Hmm hmm! It is my「hajimeshite」[1], the first time, Doctor Yasumino!"
The good doctor's face crinkles up slightly, looking into the shaded eyes behind the bck mask!
However, she can find no recognition!
Of course not!
It is truely, with certainty, the absolute first time that Doktah has id eyes on the madness of Miss La-Roux!
"Pleasure." Doktah does not rise from her seat, but instead monitors the situation with strong, calm curiosity. "But, please. Doctor is my profession, here my pick-up name is 'Doktah'..."
Doktah's green eyes blink once,
"... as is yours, [Exposer of Conspiracies]?"
"Hmm hmm! I'm graduated [2] already!
But veetubas... never die! The after-life is always waiting!
Normally moi' would be like 'Wherever there are conspiracies, there will be Trabul'!!! But tonight, for one night only! La-Roux is all about...
Girls Picking Up Girls!"[SFX: (YEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!)]
Sachiin' once again spits out a second mouthful of hacking soup, nearly choking on a small piece of carrot! It wasn't because she was privy to some truth, but for a much more grounded reason!
If it were on their own channel, La-Roux would spare no time in cutting a promo [3] for the Trabul Twins! (subscribe, madderfaqqers!)
But here, it is where La-Roux's many years in the entertainmento business shines through! She brought the money right back to the center focus of the show she is a guest on! Anyone can go into business for themselves, but it takes skill and entertainmento knowhow to promote someone else's show while on it! By simply repeating the show's tagline, it was an audio cue for the production side to py the SFX that comes after, reminding everyone what the show is about!
This is what a live show is about!
This is entertainmento!This is 'Keys To The Loft'...!!!Live, from New Coimbra!
Percheron Nightclub, The Loft.
Saint-Taiga immediately picks up on the cue! There are many things that can go wrong with a live show! One of the things is going over the alloted OrbTV slot! On this regard, she cps both hands together in front of her, a common understanding reached without words!
Just as La-Roux plops herself down on her judging seat, Saint-Taiga gives a single finger motion for Orb#7 to pan in on the center seat where she is leaning back on.
"There you have it! You've met the judges!
Tonight!
We will crown a single champion!
Our two contestants will face off in a series of 'pick-up trials!
The prize!
Our champion and her friends,
will enjoy a super-exclusive, super-interesting, super-sexy night,
at [Percheron Nightclub's] VIP loft!"
La-Roux leans in from the side of this close-up camera shot, her gigantic Frxnch head coming into view.
"... AND the company of sexy dancing bunnygirls! Don't forget that!"
(B-Roll of previous VIP Loft winners enjoying themselves and dancing amongst a multitude of bunnygirls pys on screen)
Saint-Taiga slides a low thumbs-up out of frame, but fully visible to La-Roux for the save! Not even skipping a beat, Saint-Taiga rolls through with the little on-screen blooper, snapping her gloved fingers as a single cue to cut to the contestant introductions!
Bck bars ftten themselves into the middle of the screen, opening up once again to reveal a close-up shot of a sparkling blue eye! Stringed and hard guitar riffs sound out, rhythmic staccato driving the galloping motif of a cool, serious-minded woman!
"My name is Prinz Rufti de Galopin...
I am the heiress of the Galopin family."
(Footage of the tomboy Prinz lying across a luxurious couch under the afternoon sun, brushing the hair against the side of her face)
"I like horse riding,"
(Hard cut to footage of Rufti galloping atop a white steed across grassy pins, Galopin Chateau just barely visible in the background as a small blip)
"horseback shooting,"
(From the back, the Prinz points an oversized rifle at the sky. She holds steady for exactly one second, firing off a single aimed shot that shatters a saucer thrown through the air!)
"...I just really like horses!"
(Footage of Rufti rubbing the side of her face affectionately with a steed's muzzle under a stable)
"I have friends, connections, and most of all... game.
(Hard cut to footage of Rufti walking alone through the orange sunset, riding coat trailing behind her in the wind)
"Ruvress, I don't know who you are...
But tonight, the only person going home with a girl on one arm... is me!"
(Fsh-forwarded footage of Rufti holding a champagne gss amongst a crowd, she looks directly at the direction of the camera, pointing a single finger right at it!)
"There's only one thing I know, and that is...
... I am better than you!"
Percheron Nightclub, The Loft.
Raucous ughter emerge from one side of the trio, all three of them spping their thighs and slightly bent over!
"Ohh, impressivé! But Rufti girlya comes off a little strong in that promo, doesn't she?" Saint-Taiga wipes off a single tear from the side of her eyes.
"Well. It is how she wishes to present herself." Doktah swivels the champagne gss in one hand, "I'm sure that someone well-bred like her can live up to expectations."
"Ehehehe! We'll see how that works out for richy-rich pants there! Money can't buy magick! Many such cases! Non non!" La-Roux takes a long swig of the fizzy orange liquid inside her gss, downing it in one shot! Tossing it over her shoulder with dramatic fir, she points at the floating orb which zooms in on her theatrical action!
[SFX: SMASH!]
"「hai, zugi!」 Let's bring on the next contestant, Goathard "Dark Chef" Ruvress!!!"
A pair of red eyes shine in the darkness, emerging with horned breath, a goat-masked non-human turns to look at the camera with horned breath!
Go Go And Learn Moonrunes & Entertainmento With Aya-chan & La-Roux![1]「hajimeshite」- Quite sure that Madi-san meant "Nice meeting you for the first time" here. So there's no need to say 'for the first time' afterwards! It is baked into the meaning of the phrase itself!
[2] graduated - "It feels like I should know this..." "Graduations are never final, Aya-chan! Veetubas ALWAYS come back in their next life!"
[3] promo - "A 'promo' is a pro-wrestling term! Its an interview where the wrestler gives a short speech to promote themselves, a match, or the new pay-per-view!" "H-hang on... Aren't you a veetuba?! How would you know this?!?!"
