Karina touched his shoulder gently and then curled her fingers in his jacket. “We'll go say hello to them to then! Come on, let's go find them.”
The real reason she wanted to see them was because she hoped Keith was right. She wasn't too sure Agnes had anything to do with the site, though. She was the producer which was indeed a Big Deal, but that didn't mean that she was going to have any influence over the site for the show.
This time, it was actually Pao-lin who managed to spot them first and she pointed them in the direction of where they stood up against the far wall.
“Good eye,” Karina said, impressed. When they were about halfway there, the doorbell rang. Her heart leaped to her throat every time she heard the sound now, expecting it to be Kotetsu, although... She was just as surprised to see Ivan there standing in the doorway. “Pao-lin, it's Ivan. Ivan's here now.”
Pao-lin looked back over her shoulder at her with a sore expression and pointed again adamantly in their producer's direction. “We can go see him in a minute. Walking around in here is hard enough.”
“I... guess...” She just felt bad leaving Ivan alone. She knew how uncomfortable he was likely to be when he was surrounded a bunch of strangers. She hoped it was a different story when they were clad in homemade hero costumes, though. Maybe it would feel like he was at one of those anime things... Conventions or whatever. It was similar, right?
Pao-lin was still trying to pull her along, but she waved her free arm in the air at him - and he totally didn't see her. He was standing at the door, his laptop hanging from his shoulder in his laptop bag and he looked like he wanted to leave already. But then, at least it seemed like he had noticed Nathan...
Nathan, who was standing with Antonio, still chatting with him like they were something serious.
And poor Ivan looked miserable when he saw that. By his reaction, it looked like what she'd heard from Nathan really was true. She didn't want to put any words in Ivan's mouth, but she felt bad for him if Antonio was the one he liked.
She didn't have much more time to think before Pao-lin stopped walking. Karina almost went crashing into her back, but she stopped herself just in time, even though she ended up standing awkwardly close to her from behind.
“Ah, Karina,” said their buxom producer, who reached out to grab her hand. “It feels good to see you here with the others. It's a tough business but it feels so good to see the fans, huh?”
At her side, Mary sulked with the kind of dreary black aura Karina had come to expect from her - at least where Agnes was concerned. “She's here for the same reason you're here. See the nametag?”
Karina's first instinct was to reach up and hide the name she had displayed on her shirt, but then she set her eyes on Agnes and Mary's nametags. These two were HeroLove and little_lamb? Then that meant that not only were they influential to the show, they were also influential on the forums. HeroLove's fanfiction was top tier stuff - not like Karina cared about what she wrote, but she had definitely seen her around a lot and had unwittingly talked to her a number of times herself.
And Mary was the biggest moderator there was. If a post started getting out of hand, she was always there to put her foot down. (And now that name 'little_lamb' was starting to make sense... It was a groan-worthy name in itself, though. She sort of doubted that Mary was the one responsible for it. She couldn't be that uncreative, could she?)
“I... hope that my activity on the site hasn't done anything to change your opinion of me now...” Karina said honestly, lowering her head.
Agnes and Mary sighed and shrugged in tandem. “We've known who almost everyone was as soon as we saw them on the site. Agnes and I have always been aware of each other, so this kind of thing isn't actually that weird to us... Just a little bit, uh...”
Agnes pouted. “A little what, huh?”
