...I don't believe this! Being "chosen" to represent my home in these contests. This has to be some kind of joke! I don't see why they need me, a high school student, to participate in these games! I don't have some amazing ability that I can command at will

It's less about ability and more about your potential to entertain.

...you seem like you'll be good at it.

[harisen_wielder]

If I wanted to entertain people, I would've become an actress or something.

And just what do you mean by that?

[boneofhissword]

But you've become an actress, now.

Smile, you're on camera.

[harisen_wielder]

...Please tell me you're joking.

Hello!

[There appears to be a little toaster by your feet, Kaname. He's smiling up at you.]

Do you need help?

[harisen_wielder]

[She looks down. Blinks once. Blinks twice. Then rubs her eyes.]

I must be dreaming.

[electric_blt]

Oh... Is it a good dream?

[harisen_wielder]

A good dream would involve food. Lots and lots of delicious food and me being at home. Not being what basically is considered kidnapped and having a conversation with a talking kitchen appliance.

[lone_hater]

Bad luck?

[harisen_wielder]

Of the century. The only thing worse would be having to deal with a gun-toting military otaku on top of everything else.

[lone_hater]

Someone you know?

[harisen_wielder]

Yeah. Classmate of mine who uses a military approach to everything. Still trying to get him to not bring his gun to school.

[ghostshield]

Normal's overrated anyway, from my experience.

Hey. New here, huh?

[harisen_wielder]

No it isn't. Not in my experience anyways.

I'd think that'd be obvious. I wouldn't think that anyone who has been here awhile would protest as much.

[ghostshield]

No need to be snippy. Technically, we're all in this together, even if we're pretending we're not.

I'm Nick Reeve. You?

[harisen_wielder]

Sorry. Being kidnapped makes me a little pissed off.

Kaname Chidori.

[mistressurd]

Relax dear. You should be happy you are on TV.

[harisen_wielder]

Why? All I want is to live peacefully. Let those who want to be on TV take my place.

[mistressurd]

Peacefully? But that get's boring after awhile.

And everyone wants to be on TV. People will wave behind TV reporters, or get on shows like Judge Judy, just to get on TV. You should be honored.

[harisen_wielder]

Well, you don't know what my life is like. And I'd wholeheartedly welcome boring over explosions any day.

And I'm perfectly happy to watch TV instead of be on it.
