>>5935939With access granted, you enter the special room. It’s not much different than Vortexia’s Locker Room, just bigger, and with a massive table of catering food, most of it almost all eaten. You arrived too late...
“About time I was done with the meetings...” Carol is glad to see you all in a different way than one would expect. “Welcome! Welcome! I guess I should be sorry for not being energetic, but you guys know I’m beat, so I’m the contractually mandated amount of apologetic. You may not believe me, but I was looking forward to this.”
“Hey, Carol! I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but THE MIND CONTROL STUFF IS STILL HAPPENING!” You start sarcastic then evolve to mad! Vera would be proud!
“I take it back. I don’t wanna do this anymore...” Carol pulls from the ropes of her hoodie to hide her face.
“Johnny, calm down, you don’t have to be upset...” Emily doesn’t want you to be so confrontational.
“What a fine lady your mistress ended up being, bravo. Maybe a little too good for you, Jonathan.” Carol jokes around. What did she call you?!
“...I’ll be the one giving her a piece of my mind.” Emily is the one upset here!
“N-Nevermind, you deserve each other!” The Cowardly Carol hides behind her seat.
“Mistress? What exactly is happening here...?” Vortexia is wholly confused about everything now.
“Hey, it’s… you! Good job out there, someone backstage said you did fine.” Carol sounds like she didn’t bother to watch your client’s performance.
“It means a lot coming from you, you’re an inspiration, YUNG-P! Openly lambasting you was a treat.” Vortexia giggles with evil intentions.
“W-What’s up with you all and the two-faced comments…?!” Carol didn’t think you’d be so mean to her.
“You’re still brainwashing people!” You furrow your eyebrows.
“And not just any people! Your own fans! And I was one of them!” Emily feels cheated.
“And you didn’t bother watching my spectacle even after I told you how much it meant to me — as your fan — to open for you today.” Vortexia is annoyed at Carol too.
“L-Lack of accountability, got it, got it!” Carol didn’t expect such a fervent response from you three. “But I feel like <span class="mu-i">you</span> are just dogpilling on me. With that attitude, your tryout isn’t going to go well.” She points at Clutz.
“Please, don’t derail the conversation.” Emily sternly but politely stops the major idol from rambling.
