Dylan stumbled across a big empty room with mirrors all along one side and a railing around the edge of a smoothly polished wood floor.

Aw sicc, Dylan thought, the perfect room to film some grinding tricks from ALL ANGLES.

He whipped out his phone and found the right lighting angle for a quick insta update.

With business handled, Dylan started some practice runs to make sure he had a good angle on the rail and the mirror. The squeal of the board on the wood rail was a bad sound level, but the clackity-thump when he hit the floor was sweet. Wearing heelies wasn't the best for this, but it led to some excellent improv dismounting. Maybe he'd make a clip montage later. He'd probably have to run a music track over things instead of keeping the squeals, but if he hit the floor hard enough the camera got a lil shake, so that sweet thud would carry through.

He spent some time experimenting with camera placement and turning the lights on or off for the right mood levels. All his flips were sicc, pogchamp, but he couldn't quite grind the whole rail when the lil metal supports kicked his board up. Maybe he could figure out how to heelie-grind it? Ooh...

Hikaru hummed, already singing out Kakkii's parts - he'd learnt them off by heart. When he'd learnt about Ensemble Stars, he'd been so honoured that Kakkii had voiced a character that looked so much like him. He'd looked at Subaru and then at himself in the mirror and right then and there, the tears had begun to flow. When his mom came home that night and asked him what was wrong, she'd given him such a confused look when he'd shown her the video. That same evening over dinner he'd begged his dad to sign him up to a voice acting academy, then three years later he'd begged for permission to sign to the affiliated agency. And his path had just shone brightly from there...

...until the day his eyes had decided they wanted to be glowsticks. He felt them threaten him, glowing for a second before he shook his head. No. Not today. Today he was headed to the dance room. He was gonna brush up on his moves in preparation for when the agency got back to him. He felt himself go giddy at the thought, giggling as the sunshine and flowers appeared around his head on their own.

Then he heard it. The awful noise of wheels on wood. That disgusting scratchy grinding noise like nails on a chalkboard. Who was damaging the dance studio? Who would do that to such a sacred space?!

"Hey!" he shouted, bursting into the room without a second thought. Didn't the jerk know that the studio was a place where people chased dreams, where people let out blood, sweat and tears to make their visions a reality?! "What are you doing?!" He exclaimed, language charm jangling on his wrist and initial shocked anger coming off of him in actual flames. The light illusions were basically a reflex at this point.

Dylan borked his heelie slide, but he twisted as he fell so that his elbow hitting the mirror spun him in a tight backflip, and he managed to catch himself on one foot in a deep crouch, the other leg kicked out straight to stop his slide on the floor. Very cool. Super effortless. Much wow. Only smol scuffs on floor from panic, yes.

Dylan's skateboard rolled a slow clackity-clack across the glossy wood floor until it bumped into Interrupting Flamer's shoes.

"Orchestrating the downfall of the bourgeoisie, obvie." Dylan said, flicking his hood down to lay flat and his chin up to straighten out his sunglasses. Staring up at flameo hotman here was a little too... everything.

In the half-light and slanted afternoon sun, the glowy eyes and firelight show looked like a dreamy filter run over the world. Dylan absolutely had to know how to do that.

"How're you doing the fireside chat filter without doing arson?" Dylan asked.

He pulled a werm-onna-string out of his pocket and yeeted it into the AoE radius. The lil cotton fluff dude just kinda flopped into the light and layed there with betrayed eyes. The flames didn't even seem hot, all red cheeto dust and no kick. Huh.

Hikaru watched on and winced as he heard and saw the floor get scuffed. Yikes. That was going to be a pain for the cleaner later... or actually it might not be. Magic could probably fix that, right? It could solve things, right? He did have to admit that finishing pose was badass levels of dynamic - he couldn't help but feel kinda jealous.

The flames died off as confusion replaced his anger. This kid... was a kid? And he didn't seem like he was much of a troublemaker. And literally nothing he said made sense. And he'd thrown some kind of furry worm at him. It looked like a toy.

"...sorry, what?" He asked, a question mark appearing above his head. His eyes weren't glowing anymore at least. This kid clearly wasn't speaking English. His language charm would've helped him understand if that had been the case - unless it was malfunctioning? He watched it dangle limply on his wrist and gave it a little shake. Maybe it'd work now.

Dylan stood up and took a step over as this- yoga dude? dance magic man? looked away.

When his feet landed he had a sweet new PoV from just behind the kid's shoulder. Bracelet seemed important, hrm. Fire n' fury were gone, but now he had an actual floating question mark?

"That!" Dylan said, "that, what you're doing with the live in the air emojis, how?" He waved his hand through the squiggle, though it took a little stretch up onto his toes, fascinated when it passed right through. "Do you project holograms to let people know when you have quest information? OH!" He clapped his hands to his cheeks, noticing how the afternoon sunlight through the large windows haloed the redhead. "Are you like important npc cat? Do you have magical insight tasks that give me abilities?! What is your wisdom."

"Wh-wha--?!" Hikaru spun round, taking a step back and spinning round to see the kid but-- but he was right there?! He looked behind him to see empty space. "Did you just teleport?!" The question mark shifted to an exclamation mark as the kid put his hand through it. "Quest? NPC? Tasks?" He blinked. Okay, this sentence made more sense. But Hikaru wasn't a cat. And he wasn't an NPC. He was a living, breathing person being...assaulted? Confused? Kerfuffled by this kid?

"Wisdom? I, uh..." He hesitated. "You mean this?" He said, poofing the exclamation mark out of existence and then repoofing it into existence in his hand. It actually felt kinda good to be able to show off something, especially since people tended to pretty much ignore him whenever he went into the community center. It really sucked, since the aspiring voice actor was already lonely enough as it was. Being ignored just made it worse. But this kid...maybe he wasn't too bad? Even if he did just scuff the floor five seconds ago.

"yesssssssss" Dylan did jazz hands around the little hologram thing. "Magic man! You a magic man. How you doin' that magic, man? That shit's like- that shit's like the ~pEERfect~ setup for video content." The possibilities were friggin' sky high. The live emojis, the sim and solid snake references, the immediate custom insta filters, the time saved not editing shit. Boring editing was the whole reason SpiteBepsi didn't have a YouTube empire, aside from, like, not having a stable place to film or whatever. Streaming didn't take editing, and instas and tiktoks were short as hell. With this kind of shit he'd just have to do intros, outros, and timeskip cuts! Probably. It'd make for hella sicc music video effects, at least.

Dylan dropped to his knees with a thud on the floor, clasped his hands together, and pleaded up at the holy grail of possible tiktok content. He wasn't used to asking for help, but sometimes you had to think of the Skyrim memes. Do it for Todd.

"Teach me Obi-wan Kenobi, how do I git gud at force ghost-ing?"

Okay, the kid was back to being completely incomprehensible. Brilliant. But it looked like he was asking for something? And the charm had told him the kid had something like "how," so he was probably asking how to do it.

"Uh..." He smiled apologetically. "I don't know how to do it. It just...happened one day. Along with this." He let his eyes glow for a sec before scrunching them tight again, turning off the effect with effort. He didn't like how it made people stare at him, and people didn't like that when they realised they were being compelled. He hated it. "If I knew how I did it, I could teach you, but... I don't even know if it's something anyone can do."

He'd never met anyone else who could do it, except... except that one demon girl. She knew how to do it. Maybe Dylan could ask her? But Hikaru didn't even know her name.

Dylan watched the light show and nodded. This kid had charisma. Chorizo. Big spicy energy. Magic powers that just start happening and you don't know how they work? Dylan gets that.

"Magic powers that just start happening and you don't know how they work? I get that." Dylan popped back up to his feet and brushed his torn jeans off with exaggerated slaps. "Sometimes you're just a singular kinda cat, and ya can't explain where it's at."

Dylan considered the problem while he kicked the skateboard by redhead's feet up into his hand. "In that case, cool kid- you do lightshows on commission? Interested in a quid pro quo kinda business propositions? Cuz I'm SpiteBepsiTTV in the flesh-" he dabbed, using his skateboard in hand for extra flourish, "and I'm usually a solo queue, but my chat would go wild over your special effects, dude. We could make some real meme magic together."

Okay, Hikaru thought he was starting to get the hang of this kid's lingo. He could be cool. He could be hip. He could be not a square-- okay, who was he kidding? Clearly the slang on the islands...or wherever this guy had come from... was something that he was going to take a while to understand. But at least he could understand that the kid didn't mind that Hikaru couldn't teach him. Phew.

This kid sure was extra, though. Definitely one for dramatics. Hikaru liked that; he could respect it. And he had zero idea what this kid was spouting, but he could tell a request for help when he heard one. "Yeah, sure. I could help you out. What do you want me to do?" He asked, blowing steam off his finger to match the antics.
