"So, without further, please welcome our first guest!" Azura shouted as she exited the stage, handing over the spotlight to Kai. The cheers echoed throughout the courtyard as the monitors above flashed the title "Big Han-san" in admirable fashion. Some of the backdrop lighting changed to Blue. The camera view changed so that attention was now on where Kai was positioned, and so were the lights.

As for Kamui, she had yet to actually meet her twin brother somewhere in this sea of faces. Moreover, Kamui was standing almost at the front of the stage with two cyalume penlights in her hands. Like the crowd around her - with the exception of her watchful escorts - she had changed them to so that the entire audience was a sea of Blue coloured glowsticks. It was definitely a sight to see so many lights matching what was supposedly Kai's theme colour. There was a kind of energy that the sticks gave off when there were so many of them out there!

Watching from backstage, Robyn and Robin took a deep breath. Even though they weren't on stage yet, they couldn't help feeling a little stage fright in this context. This festival really was a big deal, after all! To take their minds off things, they adjusted the headphones just so they were comfortable. Kai was going to kick off the club's first performance, so he better make this count! They could feel a sense of comfort from seeing so many glowsticks like this, as if they were encouraging Kai to play.

 

(I actually read "cheers and anticipation" as "chaos and abyss" )

The majority of penlights in the audience waved rhythmically to the dramatic introductory song that Kai was playing. It came as no surprise that there were plenty of gamers in the audience who watched the the Deemon gameplay on the screen. As if on cue, the glowsticks moved as if they followed the gameplay and waved accordingly. It was like a way for the audience play along with Big Han-san!

Immediately on the internet, comments were being posted to videos made by "9thchild". Actually, it was gameplay video that was getting lots of hits and views, with comments made about the performance happening at the same time.

Laughter and giggles could be heard from the students of Shirasagi High School in reaction to the sibling banter. Others were rather fascinated with the way that Nora was fawning in the first place.

As soon as Nora appeared on stage, some of the stage lights began to highlight a Lime Green. In response, a number of the penlights also changed colours to match Nora's appearance. So the audience was now a mix of green and blue. Then cheers followed as the monitor above proudly displayed "Han-san" as Nora ran to backstage.

From the back, Robyn and Robin smiled at the way Nora was delivering her performance. What a way to transition to the next song!

In the front, Kamui was waving a pair of cyalume penlights herself. She was having a lot of fun with this, from the looks of it.

 

A dramatic tune filled the air of the Shirasagi High School courtyard such that it could be heard all around the school. Penlights continued to wave in to the beats, the keyboard, and strings. At least half of the students recognised the the gameplay on the monitors above, and the combo streak was such that they couldn't believe that it was actual gameplay footage.

On the internet and on Ebuto, comments were already flooding into 9thchild's gameplay videos... as well as the livestream.

"9thchild is Little Han-san confirmed"
"NORA-CHAN "
"this is the video playing at shirasagi school festival. i dig it"
"Han-san plays like can full combo music just like games"
"WHAAT? 9thchild has a big brother?"
"Love the strings. You sure she's an amateur?"
"i think... Nora-chan might have just gotten more fans"
"You don't think Kai would have more fans?!"
"love how Kai just singles Nora as a 'baby' sister XD"
"Ylisstol high school idol club making headlines now!"
"It's supposed to be a 'talent' club, is it not?"
"some say it's because the club founder couldn't make up her mind on the club name"
"Oh, so it's a girl for sure huh? We can narrow it down"
"Well well. Guess who's going to the summer scramble?"
"them? there's a chance"
"anything to see Nora-chan onstage again!"

Backstage, Cordelia smiled to herself as she was playing with her DJ equipment to make beats and percussions to complement Nora and Kai onstage. She had her headphones on, listening to the tunes, and played liberally with her mixer add tunes where she needed to. Yes, she had laptop with her to watch the stream and keep in tune with what was being played.

Even Robyn turned around for a moment to see how Cordelia was handling things. Honestly, from the Cordelia dealt with the sound and by her looks alone, she might as well become an idol herself.

 

Now that Robin was dressed up in his stage outfit, the put his headphones over his ears and put where his microphone where it needed to be. There was no need for sound check - as it had been tested during setup. The stage lights had dimmed to allow Robin to walk onstage barely noticeable while on the monitors above, the screen flashed to change from 9thchild's gameplay videos to a title screen displaying "Reflet". Taking a deep breath, Robin walked onto the stage with the light from his LED headphones catching everyone's eyes. As he walked, everyone began changing their lightpens to Plegia Purple just to match his theme. And even the backdrop was changing to a shade of purple to match.

"I love you, Robin-kun!" some girls in the audience squealed.

Something in Robyn's heart or stomach stirred when she heard that. Even so, she elected to ignore it and focus on Robin's performance.

As for the stage itself, Robin smiled to himself as the music began to play. Then his dance moves followed. Once he started dancing, the cyalume lights started to wave to the beat as well.

(Fun fact: the stage in this video is kind of what I had in mind for what our characters are playing on)
