Posted: June 7
From: Apollo
[ This video opens with the sight of a pair of drawn red curtains and the sound of a trumpet fanfare. Then, as the curtains draw aside, you’ll see a young man (or what looks like a young man) in a tuxedo, seated on a throne. They’re smiling extremely pleasantly, if looking perhaps too satisfied with themselves. ]
Pleased to meet you. This is Shikyoin Hibiki. Today I have a splendid announcement for you all.
[ Hibiki snaps her fingers and a crown of laurels appears, golden and glittering, on her head. ] As of today, I have accepted the role of Apollo. I’m aware this is a new god for your pantheon, so an educational exhibit has been constructed for your benefit. Everyone, please stop by!
Here is my temple. [ Hibiki holds up an autograph-board-sized sign on which a small map has been drawn. Her temple’s location has been marked off with a little purple crown symbol. ] The first one hundred guests will receive a special present. Come and be illuminated.
Until then, bonjour.
[ Putting the board down, Hibiki closes her eyes and sits back on her throne. Silver and pink confetti in the shapes of hearts begins drifting down from above, twirling and twinkling in the light. Then a pair of red curtains appears to be drawn across the scene, and the video ends.
If you accept this invitation, you can find the festivities waiting for you here! ]

video;
...Is it a useful present...?
video
[ This is a tough crowd. Hibiki's not sure she's heard of this "useful present" concept.
Unless giving people presents that will help them train, the better to perform, the better to entertain her by being her opponents in singing tournaments counts. In that case, yes. She has some limited experience with the notion. ]
video
[But then, it’s highly possible that he’s never gotten gifts before, besides the food people bought for him at the festival. Certainly he's never remembered as much.]
video
[ Sad sack of an individual who probably doesn't even go to the movies much.
That said, she's nothing if not a master of customizing her gifts. She'll have to think of something useful.
Hm. Useful. Use....ful?
...it's still a bizarre notion. ]
video
[But after a moment, he gives a small shrug.]
Alright, I suppose...
[If it's Apollo, anyway, he guesses he should make a courtesy call anyway on behalf of his own god...]
[video] also please imagine mitsuki saiga stretching out the first e in "perfect" entirely too long
So she'll make up for his lack of confidence with her own...not that. ] I'll await you.
video
What kind of present?
video
Hibiki's smile, however, is all charm and interest. ] Why don't you visit and discover that?
So lovely a Princess gracing my halls would be an honor.
no subject
Maybe I will.
[ Gonna try to seem disinterested, because she doesn't want to seem too eager. ]
no subject
[ ....On the bright side, she says it very convincingly. ]
Anon; text
text from Apollo
anyway, despite being a Celebrity, Hibiki has apparently never learned not to feed anons, so ]
Prench.
Save your suspicions for things you can spell.

Weren't you listening?
[ ...Hibiki, no. ]
no subject
No, I couldn't hear anything over your melodrama.

[ hibiki, no ]

Here's my official downvote.
no subject
[ Who is this guy? Hibiki pulls up an extra window and starts trying Nonsensical Children's Show Computer Science to strip that anonymity away.
Back home, this would totally work. ]
no subject
Let me guess, it's filed under the name A. Non? How can you note something like that when you don't even know who said it?
no subject
[ Just keep talking, buddy. Give her more time to figure this out.
Attempting to discover your location - now. ]
no subject
[Things he can honestly admit anon or not, but he's also amused she's someone who would call him on that.]
Something they encourage if it's part of your divine domain, too.
no subject
[ A god of being irritating? Who would worship -
Agh, she almost thought she had it, but when she hit "enter", nothing happened. Better try again.
And open a search engine in a third window for gods with bad personalities. ]
no subject
[But he's about done anyway. Bigger fish to bother.]
Yours does too, I'm sure. If you can't find one, then it's you.
no subject
What's more, Apollo keeps coming up. Something about some girl who got turned into a tree. This is all ridiculous slander that would be intolerable if she weren't Shikyoin Hibiki first and Apollo second. ]
I need no allies.
[ Oh, hey, has she actually got...is she making progress over here...? ]
Video - From Kairi
But you said a special present? What kind?
video
But Hibiki can overlook a lot for a guest, so she smiles. And puts a finger to her lips in a "shush" gesture. ]
That would spoil the surprise.
Re: video
[She holds up a finger of her own to gently wag.]
video
Wouldn't that make it all the more surprising?
[ She doesn't have a trophy for it, but she's crown prince of nonsense logic, too.
She can do this all day. Or until she loses her temper with it. Either one. ]
Re: video
[She smiles as she waves and ends the call to go wherever it is she needs to go for this surprise gift.]
video
[ How amusing. ]
It's not a scary present, is it?
video
[ Honestly, it depends on your definition of scary.
But Hibiki doesn't see it that way. ]
video
video
[ Sorry for the break in hostly demeanor for deadpan. It's just.
Wow. ]
video
video
...I guarantee you'll enjoy the experience.
video
Well then I’ll have to drop by won’t I?
video
[ With as non-scary a present as she can manage. ]
video
video
[ Someone may have a need to get the last word in. ]

So you had to bribe people to come visit your temple. Nice.
