imeeji_frontstage | Hell Bachelor: The Revenge

Who: Y’all
Where: Lobby
When: Day 150 around sunset

[The lobby has been set up today for a ~very special viewing~. The chairs are pulled around to face one of the TV screens, there’s glasses and water set aside for a BARiTONES style refreshment stand, and some helpful information cards have been set out for participants to get up to speed. The screen is showing someone’s shakycam recording of none other than Mars’ terrible Hell Bachelor stint, currently zoomed in to a tearful angel-looking demon (that's Velly by the by, fan favorite).

At the front stands Intensity (with all his limbs even and in this this suit), and with him Kohime -- wearing an Avante jacket swapped out for a BARiTONES blazer -- perched on a nearby table top with her legs crossed, close to Intensity.]

I do so hate leaving unfinished business.

[With a wide dramatic wave of his arm:]

Ladies and Gentleman, we present to you today the rare opportunity to provide closure to one of the poor, despondent idols in our midst. Mars, while returned to his paladin tribe, left behind six unfinished episodes, a score of broken hearts, ridiculous amounts of blackmail merchandise, and a decision yet unmade.

Who was to accept the final rose?

But it need not end this way. Our undercover agents have recovered video evidence of the life he left behind. And so, my challenge to you is this: since MidBoss was so reluctant to throw down the gauntlet, then we can make that decision for him. Review the contestants and make a pitch for the demon mistress of your choice.

May the best bachelorette win.

[Then, directed off-camera:] Can we get a pep in here for tallying?

[Meanwhile, Kohime slides forward to lean impertinently on Intensity, and adds:] Drinks on me.

((Debate/booze double Live! Come make bank by embarrassing Mars.

List of eligible bachelorettes here))

[ Whup, an HSS is stopping to watch that shakycam. ]

... Oh so this is what he was doing.

And you are?

Ah- sorry. I'm Mercury, I guess technically still the newest member of Heart Soldier.

Mercury? Interesting.

I've heard so much about you.

Oh, have you?

Should I be worried?

I don't know.

Should you be?

I can't claim to know what kind of information is spreading about me, unfortunately.

Logical and level-headed.

Those are big shoes to fill in these parts.

Haaah, I'd agree that they are, but high expectations do seem to be the ongoing trend.

And you think you can meet them?

Rather than saying yes or no, I'd rather just talk and let you decide where I fall. That way I'm not acting more one way or the other unnecessarily.

I accept your proposal. But I won't talk here.

So feel free to check on your paladin charge first.

Paladin charge is a new one.

Do you prefer the term hero?

Is teammate a little too simple to use?

Unitmate if you want to play the semantics game.

I'd be pretty okay with that too. It's the most accurate.

Embarrassing, right?

I'd say a little more unexpected.

. . .How?

I don't know him all that well, but he doesn't seem the type to get into that kind of dating situation. I could be way off on that though.

Hm. Nobody told you how transfers work?

Well, I know they happen, but that's about it.

If you're so lame that you bore the audience, they kick you off to another "show". This guy –– [jabs a thumb at Mars] –– somehow crawled back from one of this "Bachelor" one.

I think I'm more surprised he was considered too boring for the audience.
