BEAUTY PAGEANT EVENT - LET'S GET THIS SHOW ON A ROLL [OPEN]

WHO: Anyone and everyone!
WHERE: Recolle Square
WHEN: 03/25
WHAT: The beauty pageant is live! Come and see who this year's contestants are and vote!
WARNINGS: N/A


ONE
Much of Recolle Square has been taken up for the venue. With the numerous amount of tents and planners running around, it's hard to get through the normally peaceful park without running smack into something (or someone) related to the pageant. But even though the stage has been set and most of the preparations have been done, there is still at least a few hours before the main event begins, so why not spend this time wandering around the park or preparing for the pageant?

Many of the booths are open to the general public, providing refreshments (such as the Black Lion Bakery) or entertainment until the main event. There are even tents specifically open for contestants of the pageant to get a little bit of help with their makeup or costumes before going up on the main stage. Of course, no one can really tell whether or not someone's signed up for the pageant, not without the master list, so technically... anyone could just walk in for a free makeover while "borrowing" an outfit. Whoops. Well, that's a flaw that could be fixed for next year.

But kill some time before the pageant begins! This is probably the only chance you'll get before everything goes to goreous hell.
TWO
"Welcome to our first annual Mr., Miss, and Crossdressing Retrospec Pageant!"

With everyone seated and given a whiteboard and marker, the host, Souji Seta, wastes no time in beginning the event. Donned in a simple tux, he stands in the corner and announces each contestant out onto the stage ("Come on out and introduce us to the crowd! Tell us a little about yourself!") and to let them have their fifteen minutes of fame. Up here, these contestants are left to the whim of audience.

Whether they're also participants of the pageant and wish to bring down their competition or whether they're just innocent bystanders who genuinely want to have a good time, this crowd holds all the power in their hands. Literally. With their little whiteboards, they can write whatever score (or comment) they want and display it towards the starring contestant. Or, if they're lucky and they manage to get a hold of the microphone going around the audience, they'd be able to ask whatever question they want.

It might get a little ugly and these fifteen minutes may very well become the hardest thing characters will have to face in their lives, but if they manage to pull on through, they'll be able to finally show everyone their special talent or skill to blow them all away. Show off those amazing juggling skills or your best America's Got Talent voice, because you gotta kick it up a notch if you want to win!
THREE
Not so much for screaming "kyaaa, I love you, insert name here!!" in real life? Well, have no fear, the internet is here for you and all your unncessary screaming!
    Thoughts on the pageant so far? Likes? Dislikes? Suggestions for next year? Want to rate someone?

    Everything goes in here! ☆٩(´ ∀ ` *)۶
Posted by Souji, a general catch-all discussion post goes up in the Retrospec network at the same time as the pageant. It's for all those who wish to discuss anything about the event through a more... reserved manner, so log in and comment around!
FOUR
"And now, it's the moment you've all been waiting for... to announce our winners!"

The votes are in, the judges have spoken, Souji has apparently changed costumes, and it's time to figure out who captured the hearts of the audience.

"The winners for the Mr., Miss, and Crossdressing sections are, in the following order..."

Pause for the dramatic drum roll.

"... Dirk Strider, Catherine Durand, and Honoka Kousaka!"

Confetti bursts on the stage, the audience cheers, the winners are rounded up to be given their crowns, and the rest of the contestants are left there to stand awkwardly on the stage to watch. The ceremony is rather long and tedious and each one of the winners is encouraged to say something to their dying fans.

Were these the results that you've expected? Are you satisfied? Disappointed? Angry? If so, speak now or forever hold your peace!
FIVE
Well, that's the end to one ridiculous and unnecessary event. As the pageant finally draws to an end, the venue starts closing up. Tents are brought down, the stage is dismantled, chairs are being folded... it's the end of the day and Recolle Square has finally settled back into a peaceful and quiet park.

Participants of the pageant are encouraged to return their costumes (don't be thieves now!) and while it's not necessary, any kind souls with some free time on their hands can help clean up the park of all the trash that's been left behind. As for everyone else? They can reminisce on the pageant and wonder whether or not it was worth it all...

But thanks for coming and see you next year!

Bodyguard? [whoa] You think I would need one?

[she never thought that far ahead with her possible popularity]
goen: ((ಠ_ಠ))

[personal profile] goen 2017-04-11 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
I know you will! You're already popular enough...

[ mumble mumble ]


Every celebrity has her share of crazies. But leave the riff-raff to me!

[ Who says her producer can't also be a bodyguard, he'll see no conflict down the line... ]
constellates: (★ run away)

[personal profile] constellates 2017-04-11 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
[what was that]

Mm...? If Yato says so...

I hope that it will not be difficult. Беда.... I do not want to trouble Yato.
goen: ((✧_✧))

[personal profile] goen 2017-04-12 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Trust me. It'll be my pleasure...

[ spoken with the relish of a man who would beat up 500% more people than strictly necessary ]

You hear about it all the time. Stalkers! Creepy gifts! In some places, fans are so invested that they'll harass your love interests! Celebrity is wild!
constellates: (★ i'm ready to bingo)

[personal profile] constellates 2017-04-16 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
[stalking.... surprise gifts on her desk.... harassing boys she knows....

. . . . ]


But they are not like Yato?

[someone had to say it]
goen: ((ノ`Д´)ノ)

[personal profile] goen 2017-04-17 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ ?!?! ]

No! That's nothing like me! Anya, is that how you see me?! I'll cry!!

[ Really... don't even doubt that he will... ]
constellates: (★ door to my soul)

[personal profile] constellates 2017-04-19 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[oh no - she laughs and shakes her head]

Нет! Yato, please do not cry.

[even as she... smiles.... the opportunistic streak strikes]

Does Yato want to know how I see him?
goen: (YOU DIDN'T EVEN THINK OF IT)

[personal profile] goen 2017-04-20 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
H... How does Anya see Yato?

[ Should he be afraid now... Sometimes Anya is Just So Blunt... ]
constellates: (★ the loof is on fiyah)

[personal profile] constellates 2017-04-20 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Her eyes light up.

(He should be afraid.)

Because you know, Anya loves to talk about her friends. It's easy to talk about her friends to other people, when she gets to list off all the good things she likes about them. All the little details that are easy to miss. It's not often that her friends are daring enough to be willing to ask for her opinion of them directly.]


Anya loves Yato.

[Starting off strong.]

Because Yato always makes me feel safe... I do not always know why you are always close by? You do not get bored? But it helps... That way Anya never really feels alone. And I always like to see you. Cпокойствие...? ["Tranquility" is a word she doesn't have but - ] My heart is calm when you are near.

And Yato is also always doing his best! Ah... I have said it but I want to be like that even now. I am scared of less things now, and I hope to be less and less scared with each day - but that is because Yato is helping.

[She can keep going... but it looks like she needs to at least take a break - ]

You help me feel like I can do anything, because you believed in me first.
goen: (IT'S A BIG HIT!)

1/2

[personal profile] goen 2017-04-21 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ He listens to her praise with a look that journeys from trepidation to hope to open, starry-eyed wonder. Never has he felt so validated in his stalking remote guardianship. If Anya finds that much comfort in his presence, then clearly he's doing good work!! ]

... I never get bored of being around Anya! When I know you're safe, I feel better too!

[ And yes, he is always doing his best... Count on Anya to notice!! He feels so appreciated eeeeeee

AAAAHHHHH ]
goen: (OHHHHHH U)

2/2

[personal profile] goen 2017-04-21 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ He simply can't contain himself!! He bends to lift her under the arms and spin her in a big, windmilling circle. ]

Anyaaaaa! Я тоже тебя люблю! 俺も大好き! I love you too!

[ None of this is a surprise but at least now he can say it in more ways than before! ]
constellates: (★ this story about love of men)

[personal profile] constellates 2017-04-21 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[What a good reaction.

She's surprised when she's lifted - but not too surprised, why is she getting so used to being manhandled - and then letting herself burst into a fit of giggles even as she throws her arms around his neck and lets herself be spun around.]


Yato...!

[And she laughs, clinging onto him until whenever he feels like putting her down.]

You took all of Anya's words. Now I do not have any more to match. Unfair!
goen: (best follower.......)

[personal profile] goen 2017-04-22 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
Моя учительница слишком хороша! My teacher is too good!

[ For some reason, he's taken up the Anya's habit of translating what he just said... how weird. After one lofty circle, he sets her back down and ruffles her hair fondly. ]

Oh, before I forget, let's take a picture! We can't let these outfits go to waste!

[ selfie! selfie! selfie! ]
constellates: (★ i got you not a friend)

[personal profile] constellates 2017-04-23 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He's so cute.... and she's giggling even as she works on fixing her own hair. Then she'll immediately nod, humming as she does.]

Ah! It is true. Very fancy.

A "picture perfect" moment?

[is she using that phrase as literally as possible

yes]
goen: ((─‿─))

[personal profile] goen 2017-04-26 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
Quite so, my dear Anya!

[ She isn't wrong!! He sidles up to her, flips his phone open, and here we go again. He'll aim the camera from on high for maximum on-screen outfit. And for once, he'll smile like a normal person... ]

One! Two! Three!

[ I hope Anya's ready, cuz click, there's the photo. As always, he'll send it to her afterward! ]
constellates: (★ beyonce!)

[personal profile] constellates 2017-04-26 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course she's ready, she's gotten better at this camera ready thing - but she's giggling once it's all done, clapping her hands happily.]

Yay! Anya will send it to Mama. I will see if we have... фоторамка? Maybe we will have an extra frame for it.

[And she can put it up in her house full of pictures...]
goen: ((」゜ロ゜)」)

[personal profile] goen 2017-04-26 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
... Really? You wanna frame it?

[ He slowly looks back down at his phone. Is that awe on his face? Yes, that's one open case of awe. He had such humble aspirations for this picture, and now it might get framed. To hang on Anya's wall forever...

forever

Whatever else Anya might say, Yato will barely hear it. He stares at his phone for a moment longer before mumbling a "gotta go" and dashing off. Bye, Anya...



And from that day forward, Yato began to spam Anya with an obscene amount of elaborate, over-the-top selfies with ridiculous mood lighting daily just in case she wanted to frame any more pictures of him ]
