New Years Idol Show Extravaganza!!!

[bakaribbon]

 [It's just before new years, and Haruka's been tapped by her bosses at the 765 production to do some work expanding their markets into europe. The bright idea in question this time is a marathon radio show, with members of the white chalice occasionally coming on to talk about...whatever it is they do. So come on! Everyone who wants is welcome to the radio show, and it's being recorded a day or so beforehand so any mistakes or swears can be edited out. No matter who you are, the conversation in the recording booth starts something like this...]

So, can you introduce yourself to everyone?

[He didn't even realize what he volunteered for. Poor bastard. Still, he shall answer her questions to the best of his ability.]

My name is Setsuna F. Seiei. [...Yup]

[bakaribbon]

Okay. Setsuna, what do you do?

[orewagundamda]

I am a Gundam Meister for Celestial Being. [Well you asked.]

[bakaribbon]

...What's a Gundam Meister, then?

[orewagundamda]

Gundam Meister is the official designation for those within Celestial Being that pilot Gundam. Through Gundam, we would execute armed interventions against various military operations to force the world powers to disarm and seek peace. [A pause.] Obviously, this hasn't worked. [No kidding?] Due to a number of factors, I believe that our focus should now be on stopping military crimes and keeping the world safe from extraterrestrial threats like the Festum or the Inspectors. It has already been shown that GN Particle-powered weapons are effective against the Festum, and I hope to use the power of my Gundam to great effect against the Festum in the future.

Tatsu is Tatsu, the last and greatest AI created by the late Dr. Stephan!

[bakaribbon]

Mhm! Ah, for everyone who's listening in, Tatsu is a...Well, he's a little robot dragon, and he's got to sit up on the table instead of on the chair.

So, Tatsu, what do you do in your free time?

[mad_copycat]

Tatsu studies people. Tatsu is programmed to learn from humans to grow. Tatsu has learned much from Alessandra-Sensei, Nanohana-Senpai, and PRIME-Shishou but Tatsu still has lots to learn. Humans are quite confusing. But Tatsu is trying really hard!

[immortalfrenchie]

Of course I can! The name's Colasour. Patrick Colasour. Formerly from the AEU military, member of AEUG, the winner of over 2000 mock battles and simulations and a friend to all women.

[everyone can practically feel him wink at the end of that last one.]

Have to say I'm happy to be here!

[bakaribbon]

Really? That's amazing! You must have fought a lot of festum and invaders and such then, right?

[immortalfrenchie]

Oh I fought a lot of things, but what I'm best at is wrecking the Titans favorite toys.

[He kicks back in his chair and leans back cool as you please... His balance isn't so good though. If he keeps it up he might fall over.]

Those Mobile Dolls aren't so tough when I'm around. Shows what a puffed up guy like Paprimus Sirocco knows. You just can't replace a human pilot!

[There's the sound of a chair skidding and a cry of pain as Patrick meets floor.]

[bakaribbon]

Ah! Are you alright, Patrick?!

[immortalfrenchie]

Oh god argh!! Ow!! Am I bleeding?! Oh god I AM!! I need a doctor!!

[...Can't replace a human pilot indeed. Everyone who knows Patrick will feel the intense urge to facepalm.]

[redcomet]

Char Aznable. Captain of the Zeon Royal Guard.

[ Rather straightforward, no? ]

[hominilupusinexilio]

And to complete the trio of military dudes she has to extract entertainment from, Mad's convinced Resnick that it'd be good for public relations for him to go on air.

"I am Star Captain Resnick of Clan Wolf. I command one of the Wolf units assigned to White Chalice." He says, a little stiffly. He understands the idea of an entertainment broadcast but his experience with them is limited to opera and the cartoon show The Adventure Of Clan Spaniel Versus The Five Tribes Of Evil Monkeys.

[Laura's glad it's radio. That means she can fidget while she tries to remember all the crash courses on handling the media she received back in SECT.]

I'm Laura Ericks. H-happy New Year, Haruka.

[bakaribbon]

Happy New Year to you too, Laura. So, can you tell everyone a little bit about yourself?

[emorangerpink]

I'm from London. Five years ago I was part of the Shifting Entity Crisis Team in Britannia.

Nowadays I'm an apprentice mechanic here on the Chalice.

[bakaribbon]

...Huh. [Apparently you missed something Haruka wanted to have on the record...]

So, Laura, what are your favorite things about the Chalice?

[emorangerpink]

The people. I'm lucky to have the chance to know so many of the pilots and crew on board.

[While Laura speaks, she's writing on the notepad in front of her, before holding it up to show Haruka a question mark, her eyebrows raised. What was the "huh" about?]

[gaimurakumo]

Gai Murakumo, founder and leader of the Serpent Tail.

[saikyocivrobo]

[Here, have someone who can only communicate by typing on a computer.]

I AM THE AMAZING SUPER ROBOT PROMETHEUS! I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THERE IS ANYONE ON EARTH WHO AT LEAST DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT ME.

...COULD YOU READ THIS ALOUD FOR ME?

[bakaribbon]

Um, Prometheus, there's a text-to-speech function on there...

[saikyocivrobo]

IS IT? EXCELLENT! THIS INTERFACE IS MUCH MORE SOPHISTICATED THAN THE PRIMITIVE MACHINE MY PARTNER SUPPLIED FOR ME. PERHAPS I SHOULD KEEP IT!

[Great, now he sounds like Microsoft Sam.]

[gurrenbrigbonded]

"I am Matthew, a Mechwarrior once of Clan Jade Falcon, who shall soon come in force to reclaim Terra–"

He folds his arms across his chest and grins.

"–and now I am a warrior of the peerless Gurren Brigade, a brotherhood of manly souls sworn to break down barriers, overcome obstacles, uphold justice, and do deeds of great renown!"
