[Here's one extremely cheerful girl on the screen in her usual twintails and pink dress and anyone may recognize the interior of a certain karaoke bar behind her.]

Hello everyone~!♥ My name is Usagi Tsukino and I'm here to tell you about some changes to one of our oldest businesses, SHINING KARAOKE!

As you may have noticed, or heard, Shining's original founder and owner, Ren Jinguji, left here over a month ago but we've been keeping it running even after that. And I just received the official license to adopt it to myself, so I'm the new owner now which is why its official colors are also now pink instead of orange like it used to be... This isn't even the first one of these worlds where Ren was running it, and I've been working there ever since he started it elsewhere, so it seemed like the natural thing to do.

[She's still very sad about that, but she's hiding it perfectly to all of that friendly cheerfulness, that could light up the whole room.]

And that's not all! You know how the song list has only been songs up until 2010, right? Well, turns out it only needed a system update and now when it's done, it's going to be up to date every single day and whenever new songs are released, they will be here too! So if you've waited for your chances to Shake It Off with Flowers and Espresso or anything else, that has been released anywhere on Earth after 2010, that haven't been in Shining's selection before, you can find and sing all of them here now!♥

[What else, what else? She's sure there was something more too.... Oh right!]

Ohhh, also I'm always hiring new people, so if you would like to work here, you can reply to this or contact me in any other way and we'll get that rolling.

[Good, good, she remembered to tell about that too. And since there are always new arrivals around;]

You'll find Shining Karaoke in Blossomcrown, we're right next to Kagami's Diner, where you can get amazing food before, during and after visiting us too! Whether you're a regular visitor, new visitor or our new co-worker, we'll be so happy to see you and we'll welcome you here with open arms!

Okay, I think that's all from me about us for now... But if you have any questions or anything, I'll gladly answer them anywhere anytime!

Finally.

A place where I can sing to my friends an all time favorite: Despacito.

[starshaper]

Yes, absolutely, come here and sing it as much as you want to sing it!

Oh my gosh I really should have mentioned that and Gangnam Style and so, so many others too!!

video; un: nyanperona

[dornen]

Ooh, that sounds really fun! Do you need security people? I could help with that, but also do other things where needed!

[... didn't you forget something, Yogi.]

Oh, I'm Yogi! I'm pretty new.

[Rinku claps. Her Zubat, Hina, flies up and bonks her face into the camera, and Rinku pulls her back and pets her.]

Great job, Usagi-chan! I bet loads of people are gonna come now! Oh, do you think we should have people stand outside with a sign, or give out flyers in the street like people do for maid cafes and underground idol shows?

[Mecchan climbs up to his usual perch on her shoulder and warbles.]

Oh, that's right, we don't have a lot of people so we probably can't, huh... aww, I thought it was a good idea.

[starwill]

Ooh, that's right...

Gangnam Style is not only a good song to sing to, but also good to dance to, after all.

[greatcattitude]

...

Karaoke is a place where you sing songs together, right? I never tried it before.

[starshaper]

Yes, I love dancing to it!💕

Oh well, even if I forgot to name so many of the amazing, millions of songs that have been released after 2010, at least they're all here now so everyone can sing them and even dance to them here if they feel like doing that too while anyone's singing them.❤️✨❤️

[starshaper]

Thank you so much, it really has been 1000000% amazing and fun ever since the founder came up with the idea of this place. I will gladly hire security people, yes, and you could still do other things too. Welcome to working with us!♥

[Honestly, even if he had forgotten to introduce himself for now, Usagi wouldn't have even noticed.]

Hello, Yogi, it's so nice to meet you! Please just call me Usagi, and oh my gosh, really, you're new? [Her happy, beaming face possibly couldn't get more excited.] I was one of the first arrivals here about a year and half ago and I was in two other worlds, that randomly pull everyone in just like this one even before this, so if you have any questions about this world or whatever else, you can always ask me anything, okay?

[starshaper]

[Usagi smiles and bows.]

Thanks, Rinku-chan! Whew, trying to sound "professional" while advertising a business but also not wanting to sound too much like that and putting my own twist to it to personalize it used to look so easy whenever Ren did these.

But he literally goes to a school to learn everything about promoting his music and everything, so...

[starshaper]

[Then Usagi gasps, gets all excited and beams at her -- well, she is beaming and smiling to Hina and Mecchan too, of course!]

OH MY GOSH! Rinku-chan, you're a genius! We should do that, we really, really should absolutely do that, it sounds like so much fun! Don't worry about how we don't have a lot of people, we'll make it work somehow. It's a great, no, understatement, it's an amazing idea, I've always wanted to do those things for something.

We could do that before Shining's opening hours and then also while it's open through the day and take turns or whatever, we'll figure out how to make it work!

[starshaper]

That's right!💕 Oh my gosh, never?? Really?? It's so much fun! If you ever want to try it, you're always welcome to Shining Karaoke and we'll be happy to both have you here and also to guide you if you need help with any of the first steps to singing karaoke here.✨🌸✨

[starwill]

Good news: I like dancing and singing.

[roundandaround]

Yeah, yeah! That'll be great!

[Hina squeaks excitedly. Mecchan looks unsure, but he usually looks like that.]

Like, in our uniforms or something! Maybe we could have colour-coded accessories in our image colours like idols do? I mean, back home I was orange and Ren-san had that first, but I think the really big groups have different shades of the same colour anyway, so even if we retired his then it'd still work out! I know I had to ask Towa-chan once about the difference between golden yellow and honey yellow on the penlight.

Oh, speaking of! I was talking with some people about reviving the music club we used to have. Do you think people could meet at the bar for that because we're all about music?

[greatcattitude]

Uh...

I wouldn't mind...?

[What is with all those emojis???]

Video; un: caster

[colchismagecraft]

[Caster, would it kill you to not look suspicious on video for two minutes- sorry Usagi, you're getting an ominous cloaked woman on the other end of the call.]

So you're Usagi then... Caster. A pleasure.

[...Hopefully Mamoru had at least mentioned his Servant's name before now! If nothing else, she had made them matching protective charms back at Christmas time.]

[starshaper]

Great news: our door is always open for you to do both of those things here!

[starshaper]

[She giggles at Hina's excitement too.]

Oh my gosh, yes, I've seen idols doing that and we should do that too! I'd love something pink for me but then anyone else could have other shapes of pink too. There are so many different shades of every color with very few differences, how do some people know all of them...??

[Says the girl who might know them too but she doesn't think about it so much or at all.]

Reviving the music club sounds amazing, you should absolutely do it, Rinku-chan, it would be so much fun! Of course you can always use any space in Shining Karaoke for that!

[starshaper]

[They're fun and cute and sometimes she even remembers to put them into her texts!]

Great! Here's the address

[Insert said address and even a picture of the front of the building!]

Or if you're new here and need me to pick you up from anywhere to get here, I will happily do that anytime too!

[starshaper]

[She remembers Caster from Avalon, sure, but suddenly seeing her like that on a video still manages to surprise and startle her for a moment.

. . . Especially because she has run into some creepy, hooded enemies as Sailor Moon too.]

[starshaper]

[Buuuuuuuuuut that lasts only for a few seconds or less before she beams like the sunshine, that she always is to her. And yes, of course, Mamo-chan has told her name.]

Ah, yes, hello, I'm Usagi! It's really nice to meet you, Caster!

[roundandaround]

Wow, thanks, Usagi-chan! This is gonna be great ♪ I'll do my best at it so everyone can be happy! So much weird stuff's happened in Ellipsa lately, we gotta do fun things. And not the kind that go wrong, like that party Porty-san threw in June that ended up with everyone fighting and trying to escape, that was way too scary. And right before our birthday too, come on.

[Rinku pouts a little. She had put a bunch of work into her own party! In part because last year she hadn't had one and just went to Usagi's because they have the same birthday.]

[greatcattitude]

[As she looked at the address, she found herself mumbling.]

...Would you do that? I'm still new here so I don't really know where I'm supposed to go...

[starshaper]

You're so amazing, Rinku-chan, always doing your best, I'm sure it will be so much fun, and let me know if I can help with those meetings in any way! We really do need things to make everyone happy and places where people can have fun here, even when things aren't happening because I'd guess that helps if anyone is feeling homesick and all that. Whoa, there was a party like that?! Sounds more like a brawl than a party...! Right, birthdays should be fun, and I'm so glad I share my birthday with an adorable girl like you!♥

[She sees that pout, she'll try to cheer her up by saying that but it's also 1000% true!]

Ah, but hey, we could always have themed parties and other things here at Shining or anywhere else too.

[starshaper]

Of course! I will happily come pick you up anytime, right now or later, whenever works best for you! Also welcome to Ellipsa, I've been here ever since we first started arriving here, so don't worry about your location, I'll find you anywhere~!♥

[roundandaround]

[Rinku lights up and smiles back at her.]

Yeah, yeah! It was pretty scary, but things turned out all right. Oh, maybe we could do events to bring in more people! Like... I dunno! Holiday promotions?

[greatcattitude]

Really?

Do you even know where I am now?

[starshaper]

Well, I'm very familiar with the city and the districts and somewhat familiar with the segments too.

No one could tell by texting only but if you describe your location or turn on video, then I may be able to recognize it.

[starshaper]

I'm glad it turned out all right at least! Yeah, we could totally do holiday promotions as our events here and even always decorate the place to fit for every holiday.

[roundandaround]

Do you think we should do stuff from home too? I mean, last year people were partying for Halloween and stuff, and they don't even have that in Ellipsa. They didn't even have it in Japan when I was a kid, only when I came back later.

[greatcattitude]

I wasn't aware that the technology was that powerful here!

It makes me wonder else it can do!

[starshaper]

[Usagi blinks, surprised, then smiles again.]

Ohhh. I didn't even think-- Well, I mean I was already thinking Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Tanabata and everything else too-- all the festivals and times of the year and everything, why not when we really don't have to limit these to local things only?

[starshaper]

Right?! It's amazing, it can do so many things and technology back in my home world is nowhere near this level yet since I'm from so many years before Ellipsa's time. ... but I know there are a lot of those, who are from waaaaaaaaaaaaay before my time too!

Well, what do you know about it so far? Let's start from that.

[roundandaround]

Yeah! Yeah, that's great!

[Rinku bounces a little and makes a happy noise. Mecchan holds onto her shoulder for dear life.]

Especially since we've been here a year and a half and some now. I bet people are already starting to get used to the things we do when it's just a normal day for them.

[starshaper]

I'm so glad you think it's great! Your ideas are always so great too!

[Poor Mecchan... Hang in there!]

Wooooow, we've really been here for that long, it's amazing how fast time flies. That's true, or they can always join in too and I wonder if they'll ever start doing our holidays too but I guess we'll just have to wait and see about that.

[roundandaround]

Maybe! I mean, the whole Tragedy of Greed thing was, like... 15 years ago? Which feels like a long time, but it's less than we've been alive. And they lost their powers and most of the world, and all kinda got used to that. I mean, if this were a movie or something, it would've been 1,000 years ago, right?

[Hina squeaks, confused, and Rinku pets her again.]

What I mean is, stuff changes faster than it feels like it should change! Or something. So maybe they'll pick up on other worlds' stuff, and we'll pick up on theirs!

[greatcattitude]

It's not that different from back home. We send messages and we can call one another.

However, that is it. It's a regular phone but it can't really track people.

I'm still surprised to see so many things flying in the sky here!

[dornen]

[Awww, she just gets cuter all of the time.]

Yeah, I am! It's been a month or so. People here are really friendly, which makes me really glad.

And I'll do my best working for you!
