[afailedmurder]

Our story begins with a meeting of happenstance. Two handsome young men wait for the train in the crisp morning air. Psychic Detective A, having recently wrapped up his latest murder case, turns to greet the stranger—

"Good morning."

–and feels the sharp pang of fate!

[nohalation]

[This is quite a random stage. Lying around are cardboard sheep, a coffeepot, pillows, various foods, and stars.

In the center is a mirror facing the audience. Angel is facing the mirror, her back to them.]

All I can see are sad faces. Everyone is suffering. We're surrounded by many wonderful things, but they don't seem as wonderful when our hearts feel heavy . . .

(frozen comment) BAD END=DEAD END

[awakenerd]

[The scene; it's dark, silent, the lights go on. 99 sets a cardboard cutout on stage. Phoenix walks on with a stack of cardboard cutouts each with a different team name on them, stacking them high all around the cardboard Boss. Taisho, future, avante, Heart, Alcheme, sensitIV, Wild, ZREAL, until they're all stacked next to the cardboard Boss.

There's a long silence, and Phoenix turns on some music.

When the song ends, Phoenix and 99 say, not quite in sync or very well rehearsed;]

And after all his trials, Boss realized love was with him all along, and he and [insert name here] lived happily ever after.

The End.

[the sound of his humming, unfocused and vague, can be heard before he comes on stage, dressed in a long white dress and barefoot, with flowers woven in his really long, loose hair, carrying a basket of flowers.

and singing, in much the same unfocused, vague way as he was humming. he's actually really good at singing, too.]

They bore him barefaced on the bier, [wordlessly singing for a bit to the rhythm, or at least what he guesses the rhythm is given that he just hastily read for this.] And tears poured down into his grave.

(frozen comment) Heart Soldier Senshi

[ferociousfuckingnerd]

A number of dummies are set up like evil henchmen when the performance begins. The lights are low, however, suddenly--a spotlight flicks on, revealing HEART SOLDIER SENSHI at the center of it. (Sans Hiryuu, who is operating the light and scurries into the back of the group, mostly unnoticed.) "This is the gang who kidnapped that child's cat! We need to rescue it!"

The dummies, on some sort of pulley system, start to advance toward the group. Heart Soldier Senshi fight them back furiously - Abi with his sword, Wire with a trident, Hurricane with… a hambat? Hiryuu uses her archery skills, and Mori is fighting with his hands and fists using martial arts.

Without a weapon, Mori isn’t doing as well as the others, one of the dummies he attacks ‘knocks’ him down and he falls dramatically, pounding the ground and crying out, “If only I were stronger!” as Wire comes to his rescue and skewers the dummy on his trident. “Careful!” he chides him.

Hiryuu puts away her bow and arrow and summons up her Heart Weapon, joining the fray now with a red and gold sword. "It's okay, Mori. We work together as a team, so even if one of us is weaker, together we're strong!" She slices another dummy in half.

The stagelights dim as a spotlight is cast on Mori in the center of the stage, struggling with his own lack of strength. While the others are are fighting off to the side, (and as Hiryuu and Abi sneaking offstage to set up the special effects,) Mori taps into a secret well of dark power! He manages to strike down a larger dummy with a big red circle over it’s belly, but as it splits open a large cloud of black glitter explodes out of it as he transforms, crying out and doubling over in pain.

Smoke fills the stage as Abi figures out the fog machine, meanwhile Hiryuu flips the switch for the lightning effects across the backdrop. As it starts to clear, Mori emerges in his Henshin armour, cackling maniacally. Mori’s performance is a little wooden, but he’s trying.

“Muahaha! What’s this? This rush of power!”

"Mori? Is that you?" Hiryuu looks stunned. "What's happened to you?"

“Striking down that enemy has opened my eyes. Who needs that pathetic heroes strength? This new form is so much stronger! I feel like I could defeat any enemy like this, why, I feel like I could take over the world!”

Hiryuu gasps dramatically. "Mori… what are you saying!?" Not THEIR good Mori!!

“Isn’t it obvious, Hiryuu-san? Why are we bothering with these ridiculous baby missions and playing heroes on such a small stage? We could do so much more! Come on, forget saving that cat, we should show the world our real power.”


Using the aura from Buddy Boost, and another handful of black sparkles pelted in Wire’s face, the old man also transforms into a dread armoured form - the first to be corrupted to his bidding. “Looks like I can let loose… nothin’ can stand in my way anymore.” His natural gravelly voice manages to suit the role of a dark, grim villain, even if his performance lacks energy.

"It's up to us," Hiryuu says, tightening her grip on her weapon. "Come on, you two! We have to save Wire and Mori!" Hiryuu leads Abi and Hurricane in a second charge against their former comrades now become foes. "Hurricane, you're with me! Abi--see what you can do about Wire!"

Abi and Hiryuu attempt to fight Mori. However, they can't seem to get close to him: every time they try, he throws out a glitter bomb they're forced to dodge or deflect with their weapons.

"How could you lose yourself like this, Mori? You, more than anyone else, know the importance of small acts of heroism in daily life! That boy misses his kitten!"

Hurricane attempts to sneak up behind him LIKE A NINJA while Hiryuu is talking to Mori, but Mori wheels around and throws a glitter-covered punch at him. The audience can't see it, but the punch stops short of ever actually touching Hurricane, but Hurricane throws himself back dramatically as though the shockwave was too powerful to stand against. Buddy Boost activates again, this time forcing Hurricane to transform into his armoured form as well!

“Fools! You think you can sneak up on me, the new master of evil? I’ll show you!”

"No! Not Hurricane, too!" Hiryuu looks on with horror as a third comrade is taken from them.

“Yes, Hurricane, too! Now prepare to taste the wrath of my mighty HAMBAT!”

"It's no good. We can't do it on our own." Hiryuu grimaces and wipes the sweat (there is no sweat) from her face. "We're going to need… some help!" She turns to the audience. "Help from all of you!" At this point, Abi and Hiryuu--grab a box of nerf guns and white glitter bombs. "These are the weapons left behind by past Heart Soldier Senshi warriors. They operate on the power of love and friendship! If you use them, I know that you can help us turn our friends back to normal!" Abi and Hiryuu distribute the guns and glitter bombs by throwing them out to the audience participants.

Mori subtly shifts away from the other actors to a designated area for audience pelting, pointing at the crowd dramatically.

“You think you can take me on with those tiny weapons? Bring it!”

He will now be over here while the other four act out their battle, trying to dodge incoming projectiles from the crowd, throwing coloured streamers into the crowd as a fake attack and falling down dramatically any time he is struck, but always getting back up! Evil cannot be defeated that easily!


"Abi, you'll have to fight Wire. I'll go take care of Hurricane" She squeezes his shoulder. "Be safe, okay?" Abi nods his head before stoically heading into battle; Hiryuu splits off to go deal with Hurricane.

"You need to fight this, Hurricane. This isn't like you!" Hiryuu closes in on her friend in short order. She brings her Heart Weapon up against him, but--it doesn't do anything to the styrofoam? As one would expect, from a Heart Sword. "You're a good person. You care about other people and their feelings. You would never fight against your unit!" Hiryuu strikes extra hard, knocking the hambat out of Hurricane's grip, but Hurricane insists on fighting. With Hurricane disarmed, Hiryuu puts down her sword and embraces him in a heartfelt hug. "Come back to us." She smashes a white glitter bomb against the back of Hurricane's head, and Hurricane-de-henshins, coming back to himself.

Meanwhile, Abi and Wire fight one on one, with Abi’s very real sword skills in play as Wire fends him back in wide, flashy sweeps of his trident. The battle is close, but in the end, Abi manages to disarm the older man, knocking the weapon out of his hand and across the stage. If a little dispassionately, he holds Wire at swordpoint, and the villain knows he is defeated.

“No… I’ve gone too far. There’s no going back for me.” He falls to one knee, unable to beat back the corruption. “You know what you must do.”

"You’re wrong. But we do know what we have to do." Hiryuu and Hurricane come up from behind Wire, and both of them hug the older man. "We can't do this without you, Wire. We have to be there to help and support each other. It's never too late, though: even though mistakes we made and you lost your way, we're here for you. Because we're friends."

Hiryuu and Hurricane both wave Abi over, encouraging him to get in on this too. Somewhat awkwardly, he does. Hurricane, Abi, and Hiryuu all smash white glitter bombs against the back of Wire's head this time. The barrage of glitter bombs and sparkles works, and with a flash, Wire transforms back into his normal form.

Mori, meanwhile, despite being absolutely covered in glitter at this point, has not transformed back. It seems being the original infectee has made him more resistant.

“No! Impossible, you’ve stolen my minions - but I won’t go down like that!”

Wire stands up, declaring, “Mori’s too far gone. But maybe… the power of our bond can bring him back.” His eye glows, and he takes Hiryuu’s hand, activating Buddy Bond.

Hiryuu advances on Mori. "Mori. I know it must be hard. You felt like you couldn't help, right? But that's just not true." She holds out her hand to him. "Take my hand, Mori. Let me show you just how much good you do for all of us."

Hiryuu takes Mori's hand in her own, and the light that Wire gave her spreads as the Buddy Bond activates. Mori will feel a very STRONG SENSE of camaraderie, appreciation, familial love, and DETERMINATION that brings him to his knees, gasping. The power of friendship reigns supreme; the overhead lights turn to soothing shades a of golds and oranges and pinks. Everybody gets in on a big group hug, even the obviously reluctant Wire.

In the background, a spray of sparklers burns to life, sparks of glimmering light, and as the light swells, fireworks burst overhead. Everyone slams a white glitter bomb into the back of Mori's head; There is enough glitter to choke a horse. Mori de-henshins, finally, returning to his normal self--and the kitten (also made of styrofoam) is finally rescued.

When they come up again, everyone is holding hands again, this time all in a row, to take a bow.

“Everyone, thank you so much for saving me!” Mori calls out, standing up and smiling brightly, looking absolutely ridiculous in all this glitter, with nerf darts still sticking out of his hair. “It’s thanks to all of you working together, and never giving in, that I’m able to stand here once again on the side of justice, and live to rescue kittens another day.”

[shutthefoxup]

[Rolls his eyes but sets up a little cardboard booth before taking off his....shoes? And then his socks. There's some scuffling behind the booth before his hands appear inside the little cutout window, now covered in socks with poorly drawn faces on them. One sock sort of looks like it's wearing lipstick.]

I know that you're a princess and I'm just a lowly stable boy, but I can hide my feelings no longer!

[His hand moves inside the sock puppet making it appear to speak before his voice takes on a much higher pitch. The female sock puppet replies.]

I too am also overcome with passion! Hold me in your strong arms, stable boy!

[The female sock puppet appears to swoon and is caught by the stable boy sock]

Take me, I'm yours! Oooh~!

[And with that, the sock puppets lock mouths, making out for like ten solid minutes, because he knows sex sells. You perverts. Enjoy him making makeout noises for both roles during this passionate sock puppet display of affection]

(frozen comment) avante en garde

[knightceties]

Avante’s performance starts with Nemesis standing at the center of the stage between Gold and Ace. Gold and Ace are dressed in shitty cardboard armor -- Gold’s is painted gold with fire designs; Ace’s is painted silver with lightning designs.

Nemesis, holding a cardboard mic, struts back and forth along the stage, hyping up the two TERRIFYING COMBATANTS about to engage in a DEADLY DUEL for your entertainment. "Welcome, ladies, gentlemen, folks beyond the binary, to the most TREMENDOUS, the most DEADLY, the most absolutely RAD duel you are going to see today! There will be blood! Explosions! Bloodsplosions! You cannot imagine the amount of damage about to be dished out! It's the Avantegeddon Scooptacular Flaming Cage PG Deathmatch!" A few pieces of fencing has been placed at the edge of the stage, as well as a few LED candles. Truly, it is Hell in a cell.

The two duelists take their places. Gold looks like he vaguely regrets agreeing to this but committed to the role of a knight. Ace smiles, poses, salutes, and generally works the crowd.

The duel begins! From the sidelines, Nemesis provides thrilling commentary-slash-directs the action, as Gold and Ace do their best to fulfill her commands. Ace’s opening salvo is throwing a handful of cardboard spoons at Gold. A cardboard explosion flies through the air, helpfully illustrating this moment. Gold is forced to attempt to climb onto the ceiling somehow. There is a little cardboard house among the many props they brought with them to help in depicting this endeavor.

The fight continues with Gold and Ace continue to attack each other in increasingly ridiculous, exploding, and above all spoon-related ways. Nemesis pointedly frames all her directions such that only spoons in hilarious configurations are involved while continuing to throw clouds painted with sound effects and painted like explosions between, and occasionally at, Gold and Ace.

She didn’t MEAN to brain Ace with that cardboard explosion. Probably. And Gold got that dent in his arm in a way totally unrelated with a flying SPROING!! cloud.

Gold and Ace get into the foley work by (at Nemesis’ direction, of course) occasionally slapping cardboard representations of spilled blood to each other or the floor or any of the other increasingly strange props that have filled their stage (the tiny house, three palm trees, a horse-drawn carriage, two rocket ships, a baby giraffe…).

The fight only gets more and more intense. Fireworks and cars and rockets join the explosions and sound effects hurtling through the air. Ace and Gold are covered in cardboard blood spills. As the drama heightens, Nemesis’ commentary slowly reaches a fever pitch, her voice echoing over the slap of cardboard on cardboard. In the final, climactic moment, Ace and Gold slap cardboard lens flares on their faces and dramatically brandish comically oversized spoons at each other one last time. The two of them, expressions determined, hurtle toward each other from opposite ends of the stage--

At which point a cardboard curtain slides into place, and Nemesis cheerfully tells the audience to grab their phones and log in to see who wins! Text FU to your hosts now★

(frozen comment) Taisho Roman Revolution

[acappsella]

[ Taisho Roman Revolution comes up - just the two, Yasuragi and Ken - onto a dark stage. The lights flash onto them - and they start to perform as the music starts, dancing together. Yasuragi doesn't sing - but Ken does, surprisingly capable of hitting the higher notes though there's a distinct trained sound to the quality of his voice, as if he were a professional.

When the performance ends, they stand together, looking to the audience. It seems they're about to leave, but Ken pipes up - ]

This was Taisho Roman Revolution, performing Rolling Girl. That's all! Thank you for watching!
