Day 7

[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[ Instead of his normal morning announcements, this morning you awaken to… Ronald McDonald playing a lovely tune for all of you with his band. Audible even over the metal is a louder sound of scraping, and a low rumble that persists throughout the song. ]

[ Afterward, you'll find that a new hallway has appeared in the studio. Where there was once an empty wall, there is now a theater! And your tablets will display the rules for a brand new competition… ]

But will the clown like it? We don't want to wind up how we did last round...

[meatitfeedson]

We have no idea how this is being scored, maybe the viewing audience phones it in? I guess as much as it might be an actual decent performance, maybe making fools of ourselves is what he's really looking for.

[golden_dream]

Hm... maybe we'll have some advantage after all... at least we had lessons for some instrument at some point in our lives. Even if we're not musicians.

[meatitfeedson]

It's better to know something than nothing. Maybe we should play the music straight, but wear strange costumes to appeal to both angles?

[golden_dream]

If it's traditional-sounding music it'd make the most sense to wear kimono or some such thing.

[meatitfeedson]

It would. If only we still had Natsuhi-neesan, she could do some sort of shrine dance.

[golden_dream]

That would be interesting. I imagine Natsuhi-nee-san would die of embarrassment.

Maybe we can switch the roles a bit? We'll wear masculine hakama and tie our hair up...

[pause]

W-Well, not you, Kyrie-nee-san.

[meatitfeedson]

I get the feeling she would be very graceful, nonetheless.

Oh I like it! I can slick mine back, I guess? Or find a wig and an extra feminine furisode to offset?

[golden_dream]

If you like. We'll play it by ear.

...I'm getting an idea, actually. It might be a good idea if one of us attempts singing. How confident are you in your voice, Kyrie-nee-san?

[meatitfeedson]

Well, Ange seems to like it, anyway. I did learn some singing before as well... How about you?

[golden_dream]

[shakes her head] None here. I'd be surprised if Eva-nee-san had any either.

That might make you our vocalist.

[meatitfeedson]

I'm sure you two are better than you think!

[But if she has to.......]

[golden_dream]

Well... we'll all try. It may come down to "who has enough coordination that they can sing and play their instrument at the same time"...
