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?

You've done more than enough, and I'm just about finished besides. I do hope you're hungry.

I'm hungrier than I've ever been before, ever.

[ Given how little of her existence pre-Limbo she remembers this might full well be true. ]

Who knew being an idol could take so much out of you?

You should take pride in all your hard work. [Phoenix set down a bowl of soup, followed by a slice of cheesecake.] More so considering it was ultimately a success.

Mm. Thank you.

[ For the food and the compliment, presumably. ]

I'm honestly shocked that it worked at all, let alone that we won. I know Chiron was helping us on the sides, but... Esme had so much time and experience as an idol that it's amazing we were able to stand up to her at all. And–

[ ... Okay, whatever else she had to say is completely forgotten because she's tasted the soup and subsequently been stunned into silence. ]

...'And'? What's wrong, Rei, did something happen?
phantasmagorial: (surprised)

[ oh right she has to use her words like a person with a brain, doesn't she ]

N–no, nothing is wrong, it's just– Phoenix, this soup is amazing.

[ It's just soup!! Why is it so good!! ]
