“Good, thank you two!” You feel like they’re your managers…
“You heard the rookie, what’s a Smug-Off?” The Nameless Receptionist humors the evil Idol and asks you for details.
“It’s a long standing Prancijanian tradition divided into 3 bits. First, we start with a <span class="mu-s">Heckle Match</span>, then a <span class="mu-s">Haughty Pose Off</span>, and the final bit is to find out who has the most <span class="mu-s">Dastardly Laugh</span> of the two.” You explain.
“There you have it, our uncultured apple. That’s what a Smug-Off is all about.” The Smug Receptionist smiles at the ignorant not-Idol. “Ready to use your arrogance?”
“I told you it’s CONFIDENCE!” Clutz stomps the ground, then changes demeanor. “It’s showmanship! I’m always ready to hear the roar of applause. I’ll make a fan out of all of you!”
“As you should, we don’t pick second-rate performers here.” The Receptionist claps. “You’re all at my mercy now!”
“W-W-We w-weren’t b-before…?” Ajna is so annoyed by her comment that she had to say something. You don’t know when it happened, but she’s back to holding your hand primarily. Since you aren’t involved, she feels comfortable standing by your side.
“I believe in her impartiality.” Debbie trusts this meanie for some reason. “She has been totally despicable to all of us today!”
“Very brave of you to insult me before the match.” The Receptionist isn’t offended by the words, but dumbfounded.
“Ah?! S-Sorry!” Debbie didn’t think this was a bad idea.
“I’m matching against Amber, right? My victory is guaranteed, this girl is too awkward for a Smug-Off.” The Evil Idol believes she has this in the bag.
“Not so fast, we’re bringing someone else!” You say. “And this isn’t a cop-out, the wonderful girl we are waiting for is part of the band!”
“A band? I didn’t know Amber had fallen so low as to be forced to acknowledge her musicians.” The Haughty Clutz sneers.
“The day you’ll be legally obligated to credit your ghost writers will be far more humiliating.” It’s your own Haughty Clutz! Nariko! She has arrived!
“Who in the red hell are you?!” Evil Haughty Clutz grits her teeth.
“N-N-Nariko…!” Ajna is happy to see the OG Hobo in action.
“Excuse my tardiness, everyone! Sadly, my opponent wasn’t worth the haste, so I took my time.” Nariko is already firing cylinders.
