[ "CelePara Prince Hour!"
After the accompanying trumpet fanfare, the curtains draw back. As usual, Hibiki is seated upon her throne. Today she's wearing a newly-completed outfit, custom-ordered from Sadly-Not-Pri-Paris.
What an encouraging nap she's recently had! And what an amazing idea she'd hit upon when awakening! ]
Everyone, I've kept you waiting. Allow me to soothe your hearts with some excellent news.
[ A screen lowers behind her head, displaying a number of silhouettes highlighted against a golden background. Those who know them may recognize Wendy, Natsuru, Kuroyukihime, Elfnein, and Chinatsu.
Hibiki indicates the screen with a purple rose she's pulled out of nowhere. ]
I, number one in all primensions, wish to crown the number one in CelePara Talent Agency. Like jewels illuminated by the rigor of cutting and polishing, so too do I wish both Shores' entertainment to become.
[ The silhouettes light up with sparkly outlines: pink for Wendy, blue for Natsuru, purple for Kuroyukihime, green for Elfnein, and red for Chinatsu. ]
As a special present, I'll permit your assistance. In six days, on September 19, these young ladies shall participate in an idol competition! Its name is:
[ Pause. So the name of the contest can unscroll itself on the screen. ]
The Magnifique CelePara Idol GrandPrix!
Each contestant shall perform and your votes will be tallied. The victor shall receive an entire day in which I devote myselves to them. You'd like to see your favorite receive such a prize, wouldn't you?
[ Hibiki smirks over her rose. She knows you would. ]
I'm counting on you. Now, in consecration of our promise today....a sample of brilliance.
[ Hibiki kisses the center of the rose and tosses it at the camera. Its petals swirl off in a flurry of sparkles, and when they drop, the lights have gone down. When they go up, Hibiki is seated upon her throne in a different outfit.
She has also launched right into this. Those who have been here long enough to remember Hibiki founding her talent agency in the first place - or anyone who ever has gotten bored enough to scroll the BBS archives - may recognize this routine.
That's all right. No matter how many times she performs it, it's still sublime. ]
[ Action ]
[ Maybe you have something to say about this announcement. Maybe you're one of the people who got silhouetted on screen without Hibiki consulting you about it beforehand. Maybe you're one of the people who got silhouetted on screen and you haven't even accepted Hibiki's CelePara invitation yet. Maybe you just want to annoy her.
Fear not! Hibiki is available for comment in person due to relaxing on her lawn, though one can't quite call it "sunbathing" when she's got a beach umbrella erected. Still, she's getting into the "last gasps of summer" mood: the hill upon which she can be found features an illusion of tropical greenery, she's spread out on a white wooden beach chair, and she's got a fancy drink in her hand.
Her legs might be more noticeable, though. They just. Keep going. ]

This isn't exactly surprising, given Hibiki's cavalier attitude towards practice and rehearsal. Natsuru does have some routines she's been working on that she has yet to use on an actual stage. But the short notice catches her off-guard... as does the prize. Devoting herself to...?
Wh-What does that even mean, and why is Natsuru blushing so hard just thinking about it?! She closes her phone for now, throwing herself back into her practice for a good half hour more just to distract herself and clear her mind so she can think of how exactly to prepare for a performance in six days.
It's after all of that that she finally comes out, and eventually finds Hibiki relaxing on a beach chair on the lawn. For once, her gaze isn't instantly magnetically drawn to Hibiki's eyes, not when there's so much leg on display. Somehow she's even more easily flustered now that she's seen everything that one time at a hot spring. Every new context accents Hibiki's charms in a different way, and every moment of noticing this makes Natsuru's heart flutter anew. Not that she realizes how much or how easily she's affected by such things.]
Hibiki-sama...
[She speaks softly, as she approaches and sits nearby.]
I saw the announcement. Was that Wendy-san and Elfnein-chan, too? We're really all performing? And just in six days?
no subject
The fact that this more or less flips her bangs is all part of the plan. ] That's right. Are you excited?
[ Glasses - off. Eyes - up. Gaze - met. Lips - smiling.
Yes, Hibiki is definitely hoping for...excitement. ]
no subject
[She blushes, and nervously touches her hair while briefly glancing away from the brilliance that is eye contact with Hibiki. If she incidentally steals a glance at other attributes, that is purely coincidental.]
I-I mean, yes! I was kinda wondering when we'd perform on stage again!
[Still, in six days? She can't hide that she's still nervous.]
no subject
You're fluttering.
[ STAY TUNED FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THIS STATEMENT. ]
no subject
[That softer smile and that statement are both completely unexpected. Natsuru has to take a moment, looking slightly confused. What does she mean by that...?]
"mahou-chan's hand is warm, she says"
[ Hibiki sets her drink aside and sits up. Without warning. She tries to take Natsuru's hand in both her hands. One is cool from the drink and one is very warm. ]
It's all right. I know you can fly.
no subject
Yeah...
[There's a brief pause before she even realizes the word has passed her lips.]
I-... I mean... thank you.
no subject
This is a good chance for you. I'm looking forward to seeing how you choose to take it.
[ That should guarantee Natsuru's best. A responsive audience is so gratifying! ]
