Coliseum - Purple Stage
|
 |
Wow, they were workin' hard on this stage the last time we came by, and now it's totally finished. |
| Look at all the press. | All these cameras are making me nervous. |
Film Crew A |
Hey, you two! SDC rehearsals are starting soon. |
Film Crew B |
This place is off-limits to the general public. Out you go. |
 |
Excuse me. That spudling and beast are part of our production team. Can't you see their staff passes? |
Film Crew A |
V-Vil Schoenheit?! Pardon me. |
|
Bold of you to arrive last, Manager. |
 |
Did you take in the sights and sounds of the festival? |
|
You guys oughta see the line of people outside the coliseum waitin' for same-day tickets. It's nuts! |
 |
Really? Well, it's nice to know people are excited. |
 |
There's a lot of reporters and cameras as well. We can chalk that up to Vil and Neige, I'm sure. |
|
Oh yeah. Ace, Deuce, Epel... Riddle and Jack both said if you guys screw this up, you're really gonna be in for it! |
 |
Erk... Please, I don't need any more pressure. |
 |
N-now I'm getting nervous... |
 |
We've got three hours from now until the show. There's no sense in tensing up now. |
|
Agreed. Our rehearsal time is there to ensure we don't make any mistakes at showtime. SDC tradition dictates that the host school's team performs first. Let's make our act so hard to follow that everyone who comes after us looks like moldy tubers in comparison. |
| Yeah! |
??? |
...Vi? |
|
Huh? |
 |
I knew it! Hi, Vi! |
|
Neige... |
|
It's been forever! How've you been? When I heard on the news that you'd be in this year's Song & Dance Championship... I just couldn't wait to see you in person! |
| So that's Neige LeBlanche! |
| No wonder he's a household name. Even the way he walks and talks is perfectly choreographed. |
| Hmmm. He looks nice enough... But he's not giving off that same intense aura that Schoenheit did, the first time we met. |
| True. He doesn't have much of a glamorous vibe. |
| His smile is entirely unlike Vil's. It is unaffected, like a tiny flower blooming in an open field. |
| Hmph. The more innocuous someone looks, the worse they're likely to act behind the scenes. That's how entertainers are. |
| Do you have any room to talk there? |
|
I haven't seen you much on the job since we filmed that last movie together. I've missed you, Vi! |
|
I'm trying to focus on school right now. So I'm avoiding movie deals with long filming periods. |
|
Oh, that makes sense. I'm just happy I get to hear you sing again today, Vi. Your voice is absolutely incredible, after all! The first thing we co-starred in was a musical drama set in a school, right? |
|
Just so. You played the star, and I played the student bullying you. ...They were perfect roles. For you and me both. |
Staff A |
Excuse me, Night Raven College entrants! It's time for your rehearsal. Please stand by! |
|
We'll be right there! If you'll excuse us, Neige. |
|
Sure! I'm looking forward to your performance. |
|
Keep wearing that oblivious smile while you still can. Our flawless performance will crush you, completely and utterly. |
