confrontation.

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?

[ For a heartbreaking moment, it really does seem like birdfriend might have ollied out with Esme... but Chiron's persistence will eventually be rewarded by the sound of a warbling meow that is Definitely Not a cat before birdfriend itself deigns to reappear and starts pecking rather insistently at his clothes.

Goodness, yes, hold on, you poor starving beast!

[He has procured some relatively normal conbini sammiches. And some greens! They're not...he's pretty sure it's not The Right Greens but this also isn't a chocobo, so, there's some carbs and some lettuce n shit you little shit.] What a neglected dear you are.

[ It just sort of hworfs down carb and greens alike with no apparent difficulty or distaste for either. It's... entirely possible that this weird bird will just eat whatever you give it. ]

...I have to wonder what you are. If animals do not seem to come here, perhaps you're just a construct of some kind. Perhaps she made you because she knew something like you existed, but not the particulars beyond looks.

[Yes, he's talking to himself via weird bird. Weird bird also needs pets. He's very happy to give pets and attention.]

You're terribly handsome no matter how you came to be.
