Now here's Chisato to take you Behind the Scenes!
So, finals week.
Yup.
Let's just get this over with. Godlike, Myria and Ghaleon.
*yawn*
Good morning.
Long night, Myria?
Couple of them, actually. I've been making myself stay awake for a few days now.
...why? I mean, your fight is tomorrow...
That's it exactly. I figure if I'm sleep deprived it might be fun for a change instead the one sided slaughter it was last time.
...
Wow, um, that's pretty cold Myria.
And we're talking by Chisato's standards here.
Hehe. So I was thinking about what to do with my newest trophy once I get it.
You don't have it yet, witch.
I love it when the cute ones get all defensive.
Are we sure this is Myria and not Deis?
We're pretty similar when sleep deprived. Of course for her, sleep deprived is anything less then twenty hours a day.
I dunno, from all reports that woman doesn't dream in PG, she's bad even when sleeping.
Well at least then she's keeping it to herself. Usually.
Are we all just pretending I'm not here or something?
Pretty much, yeah.
...forget this, I'm leaving. And come match time, I'll show you all.
You're right, he is cute when he's all offended.
Mmmhmm!
Well, since one guest stormed out, it's probably time to move on to Heavy. Myria, thanks for coming.
Oh, no problem at all. And now, I get back to playing Dragon Quest games to keep myself up.
I'd think those things would be more likely to put you to sleep.
You forget, I'm a final boss. I'm made of patience. Also, I like seeing the PCs get plastered with obnoxious fetch quests. It makes me laugh.
I...see.
Alrighty then, onto Heavy. Please welcome his royal highness, king Edgar of Figaro!
Always a pleasure to see you, Chisato.
Such a charmer. Anyway, Edger, how does it feel to be in the finals? This is your first time going this far in a season, yes?
It feels pretty good, yes. And...
Um, excuse me?
...who invited you, pipsqueak?
You did? I am the other finalist. And this isn't my first time here.
Actually I'm pretty sure I quite specifically left you off the guest list.
*bzzt* And I put him back on it. Do your job, minion. *bzzt*
Spoilsport.
So, uh, Hugo. Second time at the finals, eh? Think you'll pull it out against Edgar while you couldn't facing Purim?
...wait, we are talking about fighting, right? It kinda sounds like you're talking about something else there...
Head out of the gutter, kid.
He can't. Teenager.
Oh, point.
...um, yeah, I think I can beat Edgar, yes. Speed's the thing here.
Speed and magic against intelligence and technology. This should be interesting, I'll have to make sure I have a full list of contingency plans based on how you open.
Plans? I'm just gonna hit you like a hurricane as soon as the bell rings. A hurricane that's on fire. You can't plan for just getting overwhelmed.
Can't I though?
...
Well as great as it is to watch Edgar make Hugo doubt himself, I suppose we need to interview Middle now. Good luck your highness.
Thank you, my dear.
Yeesh, be a little more bias why don't you?
Sure thing. Get the hell out of my studio you little grass rat and I hope you die in one of your own fires.
*bzzt* Chisato... *bzzt*
What!? He ASKED for it!
Literally even.
Yup, heard him loud and clear.
I hate this show.
Okay, and fighting for the Middle title, we have...y'know, I'm not sure which of you is the bigger freak.
...
Probably me.
Sure, I'll buy that.
No arguments here.
Am I the only normal person in the room right now?
Actually, since normalcy is entirely subjective, by being the only "normal" person you are actually the only freak.
Sure, I'll buy that.
No arguments here.
...you know what? Middle sucks. Get out and let me interview the Lights.
Is it just me or did the temperature just drop?
Goal achieved. I shall take my leave of you now, unless my opponent has anything she wishes to add?
...
I suspected as much. Have a pleasant day.
So pissing Chisato off was just a clever ploy to leave early?
I think our audience is smart enough to figure that out without you having to tell them, Ultros.
I dunno, some of these folks look pretty thick.
Especially that guy over there.
Which guy?
That one.
You mean the guy in the...dear god.
Yup, that one.
I...I didn't need to see that.
Come on, you of all people should have a stronger stomach then that.
Violence, blood, gore, whatever. I'm good with all that. But not...hairy men in...tight...fitting...sailor...fukus...ugh...
Hey, uh, Nate? Can we make these monitors one way? I...I don't think I want to see who's out there anymore.
*bzzt* Sorry, the dimmer for the main studio monitors is broken. I'll have it fixed after the show, just try not to look and tough it out. Only Light left after all.*bzzt*
You know, I bet there's a reason that he's been holed up in his office all morning.
Yeah. Let's just get the Lights out here.
Right, right. Camus, Slash, get moving!
Greetings.
And salutations even.
Okay, thoughts on being in the finals, etc, etc, make it quick folks.
A bit surprised I'm here actually. Though I forgot just how bad the weaker Lights here really were. I'm used to thinking of Lucca and Frog as the low end of competition.
Not surprised to be here at all, myself. I was in Middle once, I will be in Middle again. Rage runes do not belong in Light.
Regardless, this will be an interesting match. And no matter the outcome of our match, good luck to you in the pools.
To you as well.
So what's with suddenly being nice to a human, Slash?
Yeah, and a PC at that?
It's amazing what a winning streak will do for your temperament.
Fair enough, I suppose.
Okay, that's enough of that. Ladies, gentlemen...weird people I'm really, really hoping that I don't have to look at again PLEASE Nate fix the monitors here, that's it from the folks here at Behind the Scenes for the finals week of season 50. Cameras OFF!
