[ There is a clatter as Hibiki becomes unable to support her own torso, and hunches on her desk in abject despair.

She can't. She just can't. ]

[myblueskies]

Miss Hibiki! Are you alright? [His face is very close to the screen now, as if by peering closer Romeo will be able to see Hibiki better and check to see if she is, indeed, alright.]

[priforprince]

They're increasing. What a troubling trend.

[ She says, to herself, having also just had to attempt to talk to Goku.

She failed that one.

In any case, this strait is dire enough to merit TALKING TO HERSELF. ]

[myblueskies]

What's increasing miss? Are you alright? Do you want me to get a doctor?

[priforprince]

Don't talk.

[ Just. For a moment. So she can recover. It's not as if you can help being a child, with a child's limitations....

But a celebrity constitution that has previously withstood Son Goku has a damaged anti-stupidity immune system. She's been struck while vulnerable! ]

[myblueskies]

[Don't talk? He blinks at her worriedly through the phone screen.

But he's a good boy and does as he is told, he stays silent.]

[priforprince]

[ An exemplary child, for good or ill. Elfnein is intelligent enough to trust she won't catch his idiocy - such things may be contagious, and Hibiki certainly attempts to guard herself against the possibility - so Hibiki shall permit this god and shinki pairing to exist.

In any case, the silence (no sentence enders, no stupidity! no sentence enders, no stupidity!) suffices to return her to her ideal state of elegant composure. She sighs. ]

All is well. The poison has been completely dispelled.

[myblueskies]

[Poison? She had been poisoned? Maybe he should get a doctor after all!

He is confused but she said all was well and... Was he allowed to talk now?] I'm glad you're feeling better miss Hibiki.

[priforprince]

A God of Fortune must bear the burden of superiority. My lofty status necessitates that all, in comparison, are hopelessly vapid....

[ HER LIFE IS SO HARD, ROMEO.

IT'S SO HARD ]

Such is the price of revolution.

[myblueskies]

Revolution?

[Why would she be in a revolution if she was a god of fortune. That made no sense!

But it was one of the few words he had understood so...]

[priforprince]

You'll receive understanding when you attend my premiere.

[ You get to cheer on your god, see a movie in theaters, AND witness a revolution! All at the same event!

Is there any entertainment more desirable than Shikyoin Hibiki?! Of course not! ]

[myblueskies]

Okay miss! [He couldn't wait to learn all about it!] When is your premiere?

[priforprince]

That shall be determined at my discretion.

[ .......She's still editing the movie.

Hibiki has put the carriage before the horse. ]

[myblueskies]

So when you say so? [That's what 'at my discretion' means, right?] I can't wait to see it! I bet it's really good and everyone worked really hard!

[priforprince]

That enthusiasm shall become the wings on which I fly to Paradise.

[ Hibiki winks. An incredible show without an audience to move is beautiful, but insufficiently radiant. Romeo has a very important part to play:

He must stand in the audience and receive amore. ] I'm counting on you.

[myblueskies]

But paradise is another word for heaven and you're already here!

[But if she was counting on him he would definitely be there to cheat for her and Elfnein and his other friends.]

[priforprince]

Wait and see.

[ This smile knows something you don't.

Ha ha. Hah. ]

[myblueskies]

I will miss!

[priforprince]

In that case, until then.

[ Hibiki will sign off with a salute, while she still has the upper hand.

Not that she ever didn't. But. Half of staging an excellent scene is sensing the best possible timing for everything, including dropping the curtain. ]
