The Greatest Show

[cuteandinnocentpet]

[The events of the last couple days must be taking its toll on you, Strangers. You did fight a giant snake lady after all and one with Composer powers which is no easy feat if those from the Mall can testify. And yet, there feels to be both a lull and quiet but also something on edge.

The intense feeling can almost be overwhelming.

But with this over your heads, something comes to visit you all. No matter where you are at, a Kyuubey comes to you.]

Oh, there you are! I didn't know if this interests you but that one satellite with the large screen is sending a transmission. [It points and blinks--wait, blinks? towards Cancelled and scampers off. It's hard to tell but some may think this one as the one little rat who made a certain delivery by being rather polite.

If you decide to follow it to Cancelled, the creature will be seated in one of the many seats and looking at the large screen blasting something out...wait a minute, don't those people look familiar?

Take a seat, Strangers. Watch the show...it's supposed to be a real blast.]

I knew he had some fight left in him somewhere!!

[Is he grinning like an idiot? Well, he's grinning and he frankly sort of is one, so... draw your own conclusions.]

[touchsensors]

Oyo...

[She's... she's taking your word for it.]

[backuphero]

When we met, he reminded me of my best friend... wanted the world to make sense, got angry when it didn't. Trust me, he's not what he seemed like, not at all!

[A little sheepish laugh, and then - ]

Meant to say so earlier, but... thanks, by the way. You saved my life.

[touchsensors]

[Lala looks away awkwardly.]

I was just doing my job-lun.

[backuphero]

Well, you did it pretty darn well. Even without powers like the rest of us got handed!

[touchsensors]

Normally I could do it without getting knocked out-lun. I hope whoever's responsible for that is still alive so I can make them explain it-lun.

[backuphero]

And if they can explain, they can fix it, right?

[He's going to find reasons to keep smiling, damn it, even if it kills him.

...again.]

[touchsensors]

It'll be a problem if they can't-lun.

[oops, this is probably counterproductive in terms of that goal!]

[illusionarymelody]

No, there's a difference between him and Charlotte. Charlotte is more willing to seek out more knowledge and expand her view to make things make sense. Hiyori was trying to make them make sense within his own narrow viewpoint, which was asking the impossible.

[backuphero]

There's no way of expanding your view when someone's got you blindfolded, Vita. She's been able to keep that from happening, he couldn't. I'm not asking you to shake hands with the guy, just don't write him off as worthless. No human's - no person's worth nothing.
