Bartending live

[noteablekiller]

Who: You
Where: The lobby
When: Day 87

[Codex is on camera, speaking to everyone from the lobby, it's obvious he's arranged chairs and set out glasses to facilitate some bar tending]

Did anyone receive fanmail they'd like to respond to? If so, come down to the lobby and use BARiTONES live, we'll be providing free drinks for anyone responding publicly to their mail.

Think of this as a way to encourage the sort of audience engagement you're interested in. I realize fanmail is often... invasive, but I'm sure most of you have fans you wouldn't mind hearing from again.


[You are free to assume you already got a drink from Codex and are sitting down to address mail, or to top level a comment to Codex and he'll respond!]

Comments

[forthetainted]

[sitting down in a chair in front of a camera]

Haah, alright, let's do this.

[holds up the mochi plushies he received of himself and Haruto]

These are pretty cute, and... squishy. Uh, thanks... to whoever made them.

[takes a sip of his drink, clearly a little uncomfortable with this]

...Sorry that I've mostly been ignoring the mail. Well, not sorry to everyone whose used it to be a fucking asshole. You know who you are. But... I haven't been thinking about it much, the idea that people out there-- other than the bastards that put us here -- are really watching all of this. It's too much for a guy like me to really wrap my head around, so I guess I just overlooked it.

But... haah. [runs a hand through his hair then takes another drink]

I've been thinking about it, lately, and if this really is hell and all... I can guess why you'd want to have something else to think about.

So... for anyone who is really a 'fan', you can send me mail and I'll promise to respond every time, starting now. Uh... I didn't even keep the old stuff so I can't go back and cover what I missed, sorry.

But for anyone sending me or anyone else on wild city something creepy, weird, or just fucked up. Keep it to yourself. I won't be giving you the satisfaction of responding.

[tilts his head back and finishes his drink]

Okay uh... that's it for now. L..later.

[IDK sitting on another stool a ways away, obviously spectating while Aries chats with the camera :U]

[forthetainted]

[when he's done he harasses Codex for another drink, then looks at Pink]

What?

[theyregooddogs]

The alpaca was cute.

[and side glancing at Codex, i did the thing]

[noteablekiller]

You got an alpaca...?

[getting a glass out]

What will you have?

[theyregooddogs]

Bourbon. And the whole team got them. Stuffed ones.

[tradesecret]

[ even if she might not look old enough to drink, don't worry, her profile says she's legal (whatever that means) ]

Oh, I'm a little jealous. Not that our fanmail is all that bad.

[theyregooddogs]

You're new. Give them time. If you want toys, try being cuter?

[purrrnicious]

[Hmhmhm, someone from Lilis. . .]

Oh? You got presents? How much sucking up do you gotta do for that?

DEBATE LIVE

[thinkoutsidethebox]

[Erika holds a glass of champagne in one hand, and holds aloft in the other a single piece of fanmail, which reads:

enh go back to hell not moe enough]

Thank you for your input, member of the audience. However, I'm going to have to disagree. I'm demonstrably "moe" enough to be on this show, since I successfully earned my place here to start with. Whether that means that I'm extremely "moe," or that the standards of "moe" for being here are extremely low, who can say...?

[giggles]

Well, I could say my opinion. But, would anyone like to debate it with me?

Re: DEBATE LIVE

[noteablekiller]

[amused, and decides to play along, he does want points]

Since the audience can't exactly comment, I'll take up their argument for them.

Obviously, they are not concerned with the show's standards, but their own. The message is as much for the producers as it is for you; they must want the show runners to know they prefer more 'moe' entertainment.

[worldlyafflictions]

Oh hey--

To the fan that took their time ta tell me how much ya've enjoyed pep!pep!'s performance so far and really wanna see our popularity grow--oh 'n that I'm [quote] "literally worth it he's so beautiful and his hair is like the sky during a sunrise on the beach"... [/quote]

Thanks! Those kinda sentiments really keep me going! It warms my heart ta know there are supportive people out there like that, even in hell! I'll do my best ta keep our lives and Lives interesting for ya!

[Raises a drink!]

[tradesecret]

Cheers to that!

[ raising her glass ]

[wonderlandgirl]

Hi, Wednesday's Child from pep! pep! here! U-um...

[Someone may be too young to drink.

[Someone may also feeling a bit bad about burning that letter, even though it was... really weird.]

I, um... got some questions that it would probably be impolite to ignore, so... I'll try my best to answer them as well as I can!

I--might have siblings? I don't know. I'm afraid I don't remember my family yet. But I don't think my mother's name was actually Wednesday, I assume she must have been Japanese like me, so... it's not that likely. I think my name might not be literal, but only the producers would know for sure. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

[Not sure what to say about the suggestion re: Leviathan. So:]

Thank you so much to everyone who wrote to me and, um, I'm okay for books so you don't need to send me any of those. Goodbye~!

[backstory]

[Standing off to the side while she responds to her letters-- whether they are physically burned or not, he smiles faintly. He sneezes a couple times but is sure not to interrupt her until she's finished speaking, even saying goodbye to her audience. It's very sincere, and he can't help but respect her enthusiasm.

When she is finished, he claps politely.]

You did much more than you owed them. If they aren't satisfied with that, then I don't know what would appease them.

[nohalation]

[crouches nearby to peek over this weird bartender setup you got]

I always reply to my fanmail! Oh, but I usually do it in the video room by myself! Did you get nice mail?

[noteablekiller]

I didn't, but I saw some others did and I thought some community engagement might be appreciated by the fans.

[it's really just a bunch of various glasses and jugs full of different colors of liquids, most of them carefully labeled]

Would you like a drink?

[arealeyeopener]

I appreciate my one fanmail and I appreciate my free drink even more. Yeah, Zapp sucks.

[CHUGS]

[shutthefoxup]

[Sitting in front of a camera, sipping his drink]

So fam, Daddy is here to address some of the pressin' household matters!

Number one! "Can you draw a face on your volleyball"? The answer is 'yes'. My volleyball is my wife and my wife already has a face. Thanks for your suggestion. Glad I could help.

[Another sip before digging out another letter]

Number two! "Are me and Volleyball-chan planning on kids anytime soon"? No, this isn't really a place to raise kids. And contrary to popular belief, I'm not ACTUALLY sleeping with my volleyball.

Numbers three through seven.... Th...anks?

[purrrnicious]

[Eavesdroppin' as she stalks her unitmate.]

Pffhaha! Whoa, whoa, wait––"Daddy"? You're seriously calling yourself that?

[tradesecret]

[ laughing into her drink ]

[purrrnicious]

[Loitering against a nearby wall, watching Codex conduct the Live and interact with people, maybe a little suspicious of him.]

[noteablekiller]

[appears to not notice her for a while, just going about his business, to give her the chance to approach him, if she wants]

[tradesecret]

Hello~ To the very talented artist who drew our entii~iire unit auctioning off our bodies for carnal pleasure, thank you for your hard work! The art was beautiful! You have my deepest, eternal gratitude for making my rear end and chest look great. But ah, more importantly...

[ She leans into the camera, biting her lower lip slightly, fidgeting and blushing in what looks like a textbook illustration of embarrassment, just in case there really are people who are into that ]

If you ever feel inclined to draw any of the men in our unit sleeping with eachother, I wholeheartedly encourage it. Please. P L E A S E. Help a girl out.

[syckophant]

Miss Yvette! I never took you for that sort of girl, haha!

[He doesn't seem put out by it in the least. He thinks he understands somewhat, but he isn't going to come to any conclusions about her just yet.]

I don't know if we've quite got enough chemistry going on inside of our unit to titillate the viewers just yet, however they might be interested in some of the ways we interact with others...

Especially after that last game; with LiliS surprisingly protecting us, or our choice to protect avante~

What do you think? Something could certainly come of that.
