[As Eli gets closer, he can see there are vaguely humanoid figures that seem to shift and tremor, one eventually solidifying into a pink-haired woman in the middle of conversation with a shadow that's yet to become clear.
She looks over at Eli, sizing him up with a neutral, professional smile.]
[And the shadow fades, but not without leaving a parting gift—Eli has been hit with Forget, forgetting how to use Overruff, Dia, and Bufudyne! No status effect cleanses will work on Forget for now, but there will be a way to clear it later.]

C'mon, let's see what's in there.

She looks over at Eli, sizing him up with a neutral, professional smile.]
Can I help you...?
no subject
Uh, I got an invite?
[ He'll hold up his phone, the screen opened to the attached ticket to show her. ]
no subject
Oh, you're in the newcomer group, then. Normally I'd say you should head backstage, but it seems to be blocked off.
[She sighs, deeply offended by this apparently, but nods towards the door of the live house.]
You can just go up front and show it to security and they'll let you in.
[Now, will she be able to go back to ???work??? or does he have more questions?]
no subject
[ Newcomer group. What even. ]
Oh, what other groups are here? It ain't just us, right?
[ Sorry, lady, he does have a question. ]
no subject
Eh? Of course not. Out of the boy groups there's ŹOOĻ, IDOLiSH7, Re:Vale, No_MAD...
[The list goes on.]
Trying to scope out the competition, huh? TRIGGER will be making a comeback to the stage this year, too.
[Which is something she seems pretty proud of!]
no subject
[ Was Sou one of those?! No?! Where does he remember hearing about stupid idol shit from?! Sadly, he cannot remember because he is an idiot (10). ]
What a bunch of dumb names... I'm sure I can kick all their stupid asses.
no subject
Excuse me?
[The woman's voice has gone icy. Wuh oh.]
Care to say that again?
no subject
I said I'm sure I can kick all of their lame-sounding asses.
no subject
I can't wait to see your comeuppance.
[And the shadow fades, but not without leaving a parting gift—Eli has been hit with Forget, forgetting how to use Overruff, Dia, and Bufudyne! No status effect cleanses will work on Forget for now, but there will be a way to clear it later.]
no subject
[ What did she just—?! Huh... He doesn't even recall why he was upset. He's sure something just happened? But what? ]
...fucking weird ass shadow.
[ After muttering about it, he'll shrug it off and head on into the live house. ]
no subject
Anyways, on to the live house! The shadow security guard at the front door looks at Eli.]
Got a ticket?
[You seem sus.]
no subject
Yeah, I do! See?
[ He'll shove his phone into the shadow's face, still annoyed from the previous interaction. ]
So let me in already.
no subject
[And the shadow will let him inside, where he has free reign to check the place out. Apparently.]
