Listen & Read

Inari got roaring applause, as to be expected when a girl came up to the stage. Not only to sing but also sing whilst strumming a guitar on her lonesome. It took a broader level of courage to do both things, especially without making a single mistake.

Though Inari’s swell applause was dwarfed by what Liara and her company of animal masks got by the end of the performance. Her entire team of instrumentalists and the singer herself got a full on standing ovation. Everyone in the crowd was clapping and even yelling out loud whistles of sorts. If it had been any more well done the damned crowd would’ve asked for an encore. But, so far she had easily done the best job.

Back stage, the roaring applause for both of them and especially the applause for Liara got to Yuutheo. He didn’t know any other singers were entering the contest, but two, back to back? Both receiving very well reception and having pitch perfect vocal octaves? The overall feeling of inferiority got to him on a deeper level. He couldn’t escape the thought of being lesser than his peers. The clapping and roar of the crowd only affirmed the fact he wouldn’t be able to live up to his own expectations and the expectations of his passed on older brother. Without saying anything he walked off during an intermission of the talent show. Being the only one not backstage or in the seating areas. He stood out like a sore thumb. He had a frustrated look on his face but the cover of darkness didn’t reveal the tears beginning to swell up in his eyes.

Vodal was able to smell him, even thru the crowd. So, once he noticed his scent panning off towards the beach he got up from the rest of the gang. Faking that he was off to take a quick pee break but he proceeded to follow after Yuutheo. His curiosity getting the better of him.

Once the intermission finished, Fire & Water came up onto the stage. Concealed by the curtain, they both held the bird seal and began to act out the movements of their respective shadow puppets. For a drawn out 10 minutes, Jarrett made crude, somewhat distasteful but right on the money jokes about shinobi life. Demons and overall trainee’s all around us. It wasn’t received as good as last year but you’re damn sure the applause from the Hope of The Pyre in the in crowd was louder as hell. Once they came off the backstage Jarett rubbed the back of his head. “Sorry, I know I blew it this year. I didn’t prepare like last time.” Fire spoke, “I noticed, let’s just go join the others in the seats. I’m looking forward to the Lord’s dragon dance with his son.” Water nodded, “Likewise.” Jarett nodded and smirked as well through a hushed voice. “I hope we can see the dragons for once!” Eventually they all strolled together to sit down and now the next act was to step forward.
