[ God Training (but ota who wants to talk to Hibiki) ]
[ Hibiki is in her office. That's what the goats with the soccer and the book have been guarding: just her office. Where she's sorting her dolls into their boxes again, or sometimes getting up, heading over to her window, and staring out at a combination of her own reflection and the pirate ship beyond.
Soon. Soon.....
......Is there a clamor out in the hall? ]
[ Self-Improvement Training ]
[ Hibiki is watching everyone "train" through her spygoat camera feeds. She finds the improv sessions of particular interest - who finds themselves attracted to acting? Are they any good....?
She sits up straighter on her throne as a new set of contestants take the stage.
In short, if you'd like to do improv without NPCing the judges' reactions, drop the thread here! Hibiki and her "judges" shall maa-blige. ]
[ Rest & Refreshme-----HIBIKI, NO ]
[ Those who had the good judgment to stay aboard the pirate ship come dinnertime will, indeed, find the vessel upon which they stand lifting off into the air, sails unfurling above them. What had been a routine (?) training session appears to have just been hijacked by pirates.
Then, light stabs through the scene. A spotlight from a drone ridden by a spygoat illuminates the very top of the mast. A lone figure stands there, cape flapping in the wind. ]
Beneath the flag of revolution, I live in grace!
[ Hibiki poses, yards in the air above everyone. ] The course a god tracks through this scrap-heap puniverse is stormy. Yet no tempest fails to yield to the Sun. I shall ride the forsaken waves of destiny, pointing my prow at the future alone.
[ She pauses to look out at the horizon. Deeply. Meaningfully. Then she continues. ]
Now, behold. As I swear to you. The ones who form the mightiest treasure in the puniverse, worthy of plundering by pirates - are you. And the one who has stolen this treasure, who shall illuminate the Near and Far Shores, with her own two hands, guiding all safely to harbor -
[ Unreeling a purple rope from her sleeve, she swings down to the railing in front of the wheel. Her cape is tossed away, revealing her to be dressed in what cannot be denied is a very Hibiki pirate costume. The other members of CelePara Talent Agency appear behind her. More spotlights, from nowhere, illuminate the scene. ]
IS I!!
[ The ship begins a lazy tour of the Far Shore's sky. And Hibiki begins a song and danceroutine, broadcast on either side of the ship so even if people's vantage points on her up here isn't great, they can still see every step. Her steps are inspired by flamenco, with a little ballet and general showmanship thrown in for good measure.
The surroundings change as well. Hibiki may not be able to teleport everyone to the Near Shore - that's beyond even her. But she can project the illusion that the ship is traveling through space, past phenomenal wonders, zooming in on the Near Shore - but a Near Shore populated by the ancient world, not the modern one. A Near Shore where they might still all worship Apollo.
A Near Shore where, as her Making Drama begins (this is still a PriPara routine, there is always a Making Drama), they soar over each of the Wonders of the Ancient World. And with a flick of her hand and a scattering of sparkles - Hibiki transforms each into a giant, shining, golden Hibiki statue. ]
[ After that, all that remains is to change into her neon-spangled Super Cyalume Coord and close out the routine's last refrain - kicks, spins, a final pose where Hibiki adopts the posture of the Hibiki statues with them all looming beneath her, the members of CelePara draped in adulation on either side of her. And above them - a banner unfolds in the sky, rippling. ]

BROADCAST TELEVISION AUDITIONS
FIN"
[ Don't look now. But Hibiki just used the training log to scout for her next Grand Entertainment.
This is fine. ]
[ Rest and Refreshments ]
[ Hibiki can be found at the ship's wheel, after the show. True to her word, she is a firm and rhymical hand on the wheel, steering the ship through the Far Shore's sky without incident. From the sky, the Far Shore provides quite a show in and of itself, what with everyone's eclectic temples.
There is no possible way anyone, therefore, could object to being stolen as treasure by this pirate (who did promise to bring everybody back...eventually). Or would seek to take it out on the god in question.
