“Ha! This tempest is causing waves, it’s your feeble ship that can’t withstand my presence!” Vortexia feels like she has returned to form.
“Presence? That gentle boat rocking? At worst, it induces me to seasickness. With that in mind, both figuratively and in actuality, your presence makes me want to puke.” Nariko delivers her biggest strike!
“T-That’s your new album wanting to come out…” Vortexia has some fight in her.
“At least my music comes from within me and not someone else’s fingertips, breezy fraud.” Nariko doesn’t wane.
“S-Stop insisting I don’t write my music! I’m not a plagiarist! A-And you didn’t deny that your music is awful and—”
“No ramblings, please.” The Receptionist intervenes.
“Why would I have to defend my talents to someone musically illiterate?” Nariko feels her victory approaching.
“I’m more talented than you!” Vortexia is getting angry. Nariko’s smug face remains undeterred.
“I only heard a whisper, did you say something? Is that what you call an insult?” Nariko knows what she’s doing.
“You can say whatever you want, it doesn’t change the fact that I’m better than you and—”
“I can’t hear you, dear.” Nariko acts like she’s on Olympus and can’t hear the pleb in front of her.
“You heard me, you talentless harpy! And—”
“That’s it. Our winner.” The Receptionist raises Nariko’s arm and interrupts Vortexia in the process!
“I wasn’t done talking!” Vortexia is too exasperated.
“I’m sure you weren’t. But you were totally out of focus there.” The Receptionist had an easy time deciding the winner of this round. “You gotta do better next time, I didn’t give you this chance to take on Ambition-P just for you to mess it up.”
“I’m not done yet.” Vortexia walks off to reassess her situation.
“Good job, Nariko!” You and her bandmates approach to congratulate her!
“It wasn’t difficult.” Nariko feels a little disappointed.
“Next is the Haughty Pose Off.” The Receptionist tells the crew.
You’re stupidly confident that Nariko has this won, but you never know until it's done.
<span class="mu-s">What strategy does Nariko employ?</span>
>Pose to showcase her great height (Height Difference)! Tall and Mighty!>Pose to showcase her bovine attributes (Chest Difference)! Big and Round!>Pose to showcase her evil wickedness (Channel Chio)! Mean and Haughty!>Write In.<span class="mu-s">What do you do?</span>
>Offer Vortexia to stop this if she’s willing to move her poster somewhere else.>Ask the Receptionist why she’s being so mean. Asking could make the refereeing harder for Nariko.>Let the Smug-Off continue as planned.>Write In.(Only Reply of the Day, we continue tomorrow!)
