video ♔ from polteageist - i mean, apollo

[priforprince]

From: Apollo
Date: December 24

[ This video is shot at a weird angle, looking up at the people on the camera from ground level. It's also happening in media res, no introduction, no explanation.

But what's happening is fairly obvious.

It's a guitar battle. Hibiki on acoustic guitar, her opponent on electric bass. They are managing to make it work.

But both of them are incredibly in the moment, here. If you want to get their attention, you might have to yell. ]

[ He doesn't see why, but then, he doesn't know Yui much at all, they just met once, briefly. ]

Ce-celepara? Do, do you ha-have m-metal?

[priforprince]

Metal?

[ Hibiki frowns. ] The substance or the genre?

[ They have ample of one and a dearth of the other. ]

[creepface]

Th-the genre. I-it's one of m-my f-favourites.

[priforprince]

...You've been brought to this puniverse too late, alas.

[ The metalhead departed a while back. Hibiki doesn't miss him, though. That would be silly, as he was an idiot. ]

Still, our concerts will certainly steal your heart.

[creepface]

I, I have? Y-you don't have any m-metal?

[ That's disappointing. ]

Th-they will? A-are they good? Wh-what music do you p-play?

[priforprince]

You can find recordings on the PPS.

[ Some of which she wants up and some of which (like this one, and one of her yodeling) she does not. But she's blanked the latter from her memory. ] Searching "CelePara Talent Agency" is best.

[ Heaven forbid you look for her videos with anything other than the Ultimate Search Terms. ]

[creepface]

PPS is, is this th-thing, right? [ He's pretty sure that's what it is. ]

I w-will learn how to s-search and d-do that. Th-thank you. [ He nods enthusiastically to that. ]

C-celepara? Wh-what does that st-stand for?

[priforprince]

Celebrity Paradise.

[ Some people would be self-conscious about admitting that. Those people are not on this call. ] It's an elite distinction you can only fully understand by beholding us.

[creepface]

Um... okay...? Y-you're a c-celebrity then? B-both of you? Um. D-does this not count as b-beholding you?

[priforprince]

Our performances will explain everything.

[ Which means she won't have to. She gets a fan and can spend her time as she wishes. Everybody wins! ]

[creepface]

O-okay? I'll, um, l-look it up then...?

[ Her response didn't really tell him much but it's not like he's got any alternative if she won't tell him. He's curious about it now after all. ]

[priforprince]

See that you do.

[ Here, to encourage you on your quest: some final glorious images to emblazon upon your heart! Behold -

A final pose from Shikyoin Hibiki

JUST FOR YOU! ]

Don't look away from our luxurious indulgence!

[ ....It's raining purple rose petals over here now. ]

[creepface]

[ He's honestly a bit confused, but finds it entertaining enough to clap his hands politely, albeit not as enthusiastically as earlier. ]

Ah, um, sure!

[priforprince]

Then, enjoy.

[ And, as she cuts the feed, she sends over a text with a link to the first relevant video. Set to autoplay.

Enjoy your leggy. ]
