confrontation.

[cancrymods]

It's time.

Esme has been doing her level best to make sure everyone in Invidia knows about their little competition, so it shouldn't be a surprise to see that the mall is absolutely overflowing with devoted fans today, all eager to see the outcome of this "friendly" competition between performers. Thankfully, Esme has been unusually sportsmanlike and deigned to release a schedule of the event beforehand, so you're not just going in blind. Esme and Idol-ON will perform two songs each and then hold a question and answer session with the audience, after which a vote will be held – and whoever has the most votes by the end of the show will be declared Invidia's newest top idols.

Sounds simple, right? Right.

You've all been given a private room out of the way of the crowds, with some time to spare before the event itself starts. Time for some last minute rehearsal, some last minute panicking, some last minute... sabotage? Well, Esme's probably not going to play fair, so why should you?

...Lion? Is there something wrong with it?

[crypddyd]

It's... I expected it to be slimy or cold. But it is neither. The texture is so creamy... but still solid.

[he turns to Phoenix, the stary eyed look on his face somehow reaching his voice as well. Awed.]

If I still had my station from life I would hire you at once!

[discutio]

[Phoenix chuckled softly, adjusting his sunglasses.]

You're far too kind. It's nothing so special.

[crypddyd]

Not at all! With my lack of taste there are few desserts I find enjoyable- most are too cold or wet to be appealing without the sweet flavor. But this is lovely.

[discutio]

I'll have to be certain to remember that, if you enjoy it so much.

[crypddyd]

Ah... please don't make any extra effort on my account.

[discutio]

Don't be ridiculous. It's not a difficult thing to make at all, and I'm sure the others will enjoy it as well.

[crypddyd]

Well... as long as it's for everyone I suppose I can't complain.

[discutio]

Of course. And I've no problem cooking for as many of us should want me to.

[crypddyd]

I am usually not picky.

[Except for desserts]

As long as it can fuel me, I'll appreciate it.

[discutio]

Much as I do appreciate the practical outlook, you should still be able to enjoy a thing or two at times. It's a shame you can't taste anything, but I'm willing to bet I can work with that regardless.
