[Making my way downtown, walking at a leisurely pace, faces pass and I guess this is home now.]

Hello, hello! Are you a fellow kidnappee, or perhaps an member of the audience?

[bondsofsuffering]

[Pausing - oh, good, HSS is getting more members.

And then a short laugh.]

Trust me, you do not want to meet our audience.

[happydreamed]

Oh no? They must be the sort to enjoy violent shows, so I'm told, so perhaps they are not the most pleasant of people.

[bondsofsuffering]

Besides that, our continued existence depends on their interest in us. The last time we had guests from the audience here, we had to perform according to their requests, or risk our actual souls fading away.

[happydreamed]

Not easy requests, I would imagine. Though 'twould be an unpleasant feeling even if they were.

[bondsofsuffering]

You can say that again.

But all of that aside - it's nice to meet you. I'm Izanagi, with sensitIV. Has anyone told you how our powers work?

[outofoffice]

Ehhhh--? Could it be? A new hero??

[happydreamed]

I suppose that is the theme! Quite a bit to live up to, wouldn't you say?

[outofoffice]

Hehe, sure is! Wow, I don't envy you~~

[happydreamed]

Are any of us enviable in this place, I wonder?

[outofoffice]

Only to those who have it waaaay worse!

[shatteredhourglass]

Huh? Uh... the former...?

[happydreamed]

All the better. I suspect I am not ready to meet our audience so soon.

[shatteredhourglass]

...I've been here a little while and I still don't want to meet them, honestly...

[happydreamed]

They sound less than charming, if they enjoy blood sports as their entertainment.

[shatteredhourglass]

Repetitive bloodsports, and invasions of privacy, and other assorted public humiliation. They certainly don't have very good taste at all.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

The first one. The audience is busy watching somewhere else.

[happydreamed]

Probably wiser for them, as I suspect some of us might have some unkind things to say.

[carrionmywaywardsun]

I mean, you could tell 'em all your unkind things right now, it just wouldn't be to their fucking faces.

[happydreamed]

But that would hardly be as satisfying.

[at_heart]

Oh, you'll recognize our audience, at least if the next time they show up is anything like the last time. Creepy faceless gray people-shaped things.

[ Hello, Doctor? His last Old Man was 35, somehow they get younger all the time. ]

[happydreamed]

Mm. All the better that they can't pretend to be one of us, but that does not sound a pleasant sight.

[at_heart]

Yeah, can't say I recommend it.

The rest of the event was okay? It was kind of like trying to fill out bingo cards, but with fan requests instead.

[happydreamed]

As long as their requests weren't too outrageous...

[at_heart]

[ Lupine stares into the middle distance. On the broadcast version of this, maybe there's a montage. Eventually: ]

Dunno where you'd draw the line at 'outrageous', but the requests definitely ran the gamut.
