Open ♔ Let’s Go! CelePara!
Who: Hibiki Shikyoin priforprince, Hibiki’s ego, and you
What: Choose your own adventure with the Best Prince.
When: June 7, 2016
Where: Apollo’s temple; out and about in the Near Shore
Summary: Hibiki attempts to set the stage for her next big role.
[ I. Resting On Her Laurels ]
[ If you accept Hibiki’s invitation and head over to her temple, you’ll find it’s a giant white castle with purple turrets. Feel free to enjoy the meticulously-kept grounds outside, but steer clear of the goats. They have a tendency to follow people around.
Once inside and away from those…unpleasant side-effects, those interested in the exhibit Hibiki had advertised will find the route there is very well-signed. The signs happen to be hung on giant gold statues of Hibiki herself, but well, this is a self-introduction, after all…
It only gets worse in the exhibit itself, though. After one room of artifacts and informational placards about the god Apollo in mythology, the next room contains countless pieces of movie and stage memorabilia about Shikyoin Hibiki’s career as a movie star, actress, model, and something called a “PriPara idol”. A whole trophy case of awards is on display, as well as several fancy, glittery tickets with pictures of various outfits on them, newspaper clippings, movie posters, et al. Apparently it’s possible to be crowned “Mr. Handsome Universe World Prince of the Year.” Who knew?
And where is Hibiki herself? Who knows. She intends to surprise you if you won a prize.
But if you get lost in this temple - and it is huge - you may find that, in one of the back hallways, a woman with silver hair is leaning on the wall and holding a hand to her head. The temple itself was everything she’d ever dreamed of, but she had to do the exhibit herself.
And maintaining an illusion of this complexity is rather tiring for a god with so few followers. ]
[ II. Urban Gobi Desert ]
[ Right, that’s one thing off her to-do list: take care of the inconveniences anonymity brings. Now for the real problems: is this really not her universe, and if so, where is its closest PriPara entrance? All PriParas are connected, after all. Hibiki is not about to look a gift godhood in the mouth, but being brought her sans her butler Ando and various other accoutrements grates somewhat. She’ll pop back home for everything she needs, have Ando load it all up, and return to her temple.
Maybe she’ll bring her teammates, too. Her sitting room feels strangely empty. It’s bizarre.
So here Hibiki is, out and about on the streets of the Near Shore. She’s frowning at various street signs, wandering almost at random, when - it happens. She passes a fish stand called the “Cat’s Meow Big Catch”. The young lady working it has a pair of cat ears on her head, and paws the air with her fists. ]
”Fresh fish! Fresh fish for sale, nya!”
”We fillet your way, nya! Sales on scales - it’s a limited time offer, nya! Nyab it while you can, nya!”
Hrk!
[ Hibiki staggers. She bumps into the nearest storefront. Eyes wide, hands clasped over her ears, she looks around for the nearest means of escape - but this is a busy street. She has nowhere to run. ]
”Limited time only, nya!”
Huaaghh…
[ III. Visitor’s Choice ]
[ Want to come bug Hibiki for something other than the exhibit? Stop on by!
Just don’t expect her to be as welcoming as if you’d done this her way. ]

[Barry strikes a defensive posture as reality starts to break down around him, expecting some sort of fight or trap or something. But once the room and Hibiki calm down, he relaxes too. And his eyes light up right away at the display in front of him. He even starts moving to the beat, tapping his foot as he grins.]
Oh, so you guys are idols! That's great! I've got a talent agency, y'know! I bet the girls would be real happy to meet another pro like you.
no subject
[ She manages to keep that mostly curious and not as full of doubt as she feels right now, but. Number one, this place has enough talent for an agency?
Number two, it's run by someone who's never heard of PriPara?
But never mind all that, Barry. Hibiki seems interested! ]
no subject
[He hasn't heard for PriPara, and she probably hasn't heard of those two. But whatever.]
no subject
[ Another ripple, much fainter, this time. Maria works for this guy? What a waste. Hibiki suddenly knows what it feels like to want to rescue a damsel.
Sheryl, too - wasn't that the other celebrity... ] Faultless taste.
[ Not much faultless anything else, but. ]
no subject
Heheh, yeah, they're pretty amazing. They're gonna help out the newbies with their dance lessons. We're hopin' to be able to put on a show soon.
no subject
[ Sorry for all the repeating. The girl named "echo" may have an echo chamber where most people have a head. Just Hibiki Things.
She gets that head screwed on properly (or at least, the way it was before) after a few deliberate blinks, though. And a rather pronounced clearing of her throat. ] I shall await it eagerly.
no subject
[Sorry, but Barry's enthusiasm is unshakeable.]
no subject
With myself as their exemplar, they can do naught but succeed.
[ And she means that.
The idea of new performers left in the hands of someone like this - even with her around ruling over The Arts - bothers her, though. Raw talent without the proper cultivation....
This is bad. The last time Hibiki felt like this, she nearly was erased from the universe. But surely if she tried again, outside of PriPara, that kind of astronomical improbability wouldn't occur, correct? ]
no subject
[Probably not what Hibiki meant to suggest, but that's the way Barry seems to have taken it.]
no subject
[ Ahah ahah. To put it. Mildly.
Her work for you, that was. That was funny. For a second. ]
no subject
[Barry looks back at her, nodding.]
Guess ya must be real good, flyin' solo like that.
no subject
[ Also, it's on. ]
no subject
Well, see you on the stage, then.
i'm too used to haruka, who uses this situation to deck people in the solar plexus
And they also might realize where they truly belong.
That said, this is a surprisingly firm handshake for such a slender person. Hibiki's body weight is basically 90% muscle, 8% glitter, and 2% eyelashes. ] I'll look forward to it.
