Coming soon to Invidia TV...

[cancrymods]

Thanks to the Idol-ON girls doing their darnedest to overtake Esme in popularity and the Dad Squad doing their best to just flat out cancel her, things have been going well for the Executors. There's been no overnight explosion of popularity but thanks to Autumn and Clocks' guidance on this whole celebrity social media thing, things are ticking along quite nicely.

Which is why it's so out of the blue when, one day, the Idol-ON Caw just kind of... explodes. Notifications pour in from people saying they "heard the news" and they're so excited and they can't wait to see how it all goes and blah blah blah. Which is a little confusing because none of you have announced anything. But there's some talk of a announcement on TV... so what could it be?

Things unfortunately become clear once you tune into any of the screens in Invidia. Sure enough, it's not long before a flashy advertisement pops up declaring the start of a little show called Invidia Idol-Off! which will be a light hearted competition between everyone's beloved Esme (introduced with a string of lovingly filmed shots of Esme basically just sitting around and looking pretty) and the cute newcomers Idol-ON (who are introduced with a few supercut shots from a few of their videos, introducing each off the girls in turn). The winner will get to take her place at the top of Invidia and the losers... Well, they'll get to stay on the bottom. That's how a competition works after all.

The advertisement continues hyping this up for a bit before ending on a decisive "More information coming soon!" and the usual stream of Esme content continuing like normal.

This is all well and good but... well, I don't need to tell you that no one signed up to or agreed to this. So just what could be going on?

The guards might remember me, though, I'm not sure how good I'd be at getting us in anywhere...

Unless we disguised ourselves as staff?

[crypddyd]

Do you think that would work?

[heir_to_ruin]

Don't see why not. Especially if this is going down on that rooftop stage area. Just dress down like mall staff, tell 'em we're doing stage prep, handling lighting or sound checks or something?

Perhaps even access the food and-

['use a simple poison' he was thinking- an ironic counter to what she did to her former rivals. Nothing nearly so painful and dangerous of course, maybe something that would make her ill on stage. Medic could certainly do it.

But such an idea seems so foreign to him, he certainly didn't think of it himself. Who... who has he heard of doing that before? He almost drops his phone, fingers flying before giving up utterly]

[Sorry Ruin, he'd DC'd]

[heir_to_ruin]

Oh that's a good idea. Make her sick mid-performance.

[Uuuh what the hell is that supposed to mean?]
