(Preshow) Staging Area

[Remilia Scarlet]

The shift in reality wasn't new, but what happened when Remilia arrived was very different from her normal entrances. For one thing she was immediately bombarded by the flash of cameras, something she previously only seen in singulars from the nosy crow tengu for the last few years and the video ones since she left the outside world all together. While most of the time she might not have taken kindly to the sudden attack to her personal space, after a second realized this was to her advantage. Yes, she knew the forms she sign earlier included stuff about use of footage, but this was EXPOSURE. With just a little use (or abuse, depending on how you saw) of her ability to manipulate fate, every picture and record seemed catch Remilia's good sign, a perfect pose for every moment. If the paparazzi noted her supernatural glamour, they didn't call her out on it.

She was then approached by a mustache wearing man who seemed to be running at least the media portion of this show. Oh wait, is she suppose to be fooled to think this was actually a rescue mission? Even without knowing about Dante's Abyss and it's reputation as an unfettered darmamonger, this was a bit too televised for a genuine attempt to help someone.  Either that or Karl Jak was willing to televise his employee's suffering for ratings. Neither were great.

"Hello, miss, I'm Ron Burgundy from Omniverse News Network. Must you be another volunteer for this vital rescue mission? Could we get a name?"

"I am Remilia Scarlet" She answered with a grandeur and ladylike flourish "And yes, I am here to help"

"Our viewers would like to know: What's the reason? it's rare to see a good vampire in the Omniverse"

"Who said I was good?"  The vampire chuckled, enough amble time to flash her fangs and make a few staff uncomfortable in the extensional way. "But I'm here for the same reason as everyone else, I presume" Well, no, that was a total lie, but she was sure that's what they wanted to here. "Now, if you excuse me, I need to see my teammates before we depart. Goodbye" And as the news people kept trying to ask her questions, she flew off further into the build to find something who wasn't either trying to sell her something or turn her into a marketing tool. at least for the moment.

"Well then, viewers," the news anchor turned back to the camera there goes the wonderful Remilia Scarlet, perhaps our last volunteer for Dante's Abyss. We'll get to the nit 'n' gritty of their mission, after this commercial break..."
