001 ☽ audio (forward-dated 05/17)

[sorewatopsecret]

[Sometime during early evening... Maybe you opened an app on your bracelet to listen to some tunes, or maybe you're on the subway or out shopping when you hear a soft, somewhat soothing voice ring through some speakers broadcasting public radio:]

"Are we live?"

[Just as calm and serene as that voice, a jingle plays, eventually fading into background music as the voice begins speaking again.]

My esteemed peers, a good evening to you. From planet Earth's 765 Productions, I am Takane Shijou, your host for tonight's installment of Are We Live? Friday. A slight deviation of a highly successful television program back in my home world, I hope you will allow me to accompany you during your evening commute with some mild entertainment.

[For the first ten minutes of the show, Takane serenely gives a quick rundown of recent events, such as the success of the festival a few weeks back and how she enjoyed performing there. She also acknowledges the moon cycles and expresses concern over how everyone is faring with that, and hopes they can manage through it. There's also a point where she goes on a nonstop tangent on the latest ramen shop she decided to visit, almost like a hamfisted promotional ad, but she's very sincere about how she loves her bowl of soup and noodles.

Finally, she gets to the more interactive part of the program:]

... It is now time for the segment that management has decided to label "Hair it Out." [There's a brief pause as some mumbling can be heard in the background.] Hm? Oh? Oh dear. I see. My apologies, my dear listeners, but it seems it is actually called "Air it Out". In this segment, you may call in and speak whatever it is that you wish to release from the confines of your heart. Whether it is an announcement or to seek advice, I shall listen well and attempt to offer my input to the best of my ability. If this interests you, please the studio a call at...

[She provides the necessary contact information, and waits. This is where you, fellow moonblessed, step in. Feel free to give her a ring, share your thoughts, your darkest secrets, your worries by commenting to this subthread. She'll be here to listen to it, as will everyone else in Lunatia.

For those who would like to speak with her off-air after the broadcast, she's easily accessed via the network like everyone else.]

AIR IT OUT

[sorewatopsecret]

Yes, hello. This is Takane Shijou, you are now on-air. What is it that you would like to "air out" to your fellow listeners?

((ooc: Please note that any replies to this will be treated as an audio-only call that will be broadcasted on air, which means anything spoken here can be heard and acknowledged by the general public.))

OUTRO

[sorewatopsecret]

... And it would seem that we are out of time for today. For those who did not get a chance to call in, or are too shy to have your voice broadcasted, please feel free to send an anonymous handwritten letter or electronic mail to the studio, and they shall be read and addressed for next week's installment.

I would like to use last few minutes of this time to extend my thoughts and wishes towards a friend, who is currently recovering at the hospital. Please get well soon, and allow me to impart some words of encouragement in the best way I can think of.

This is dedicated to you. Without further ado, this is Takane Shijou, departing with "M@STERPIECE".

[Cheerful background music begins to fade in, followed by her smooth, unique singing voice. A peppy, feel-good song with lyrics about not giving up on your dreams and being proud of past achievements.]

((ooc: use this thread to contact Takane directly via the network after the program, should your character feel the need to for some reason))
