P5 X NSP ; The Persona In Me

Curtain Calls

{BOI, IM BACK}

3 Weeks And A Half Later...

It was the end of work. Well, for Bloom at least. He was exiting the building briskly, alongside Mizu who was just casually looking at her phone while following him. She then looks up at Bloom.

"Well, Mr Mania man's got the costumes ready, alongside with what you need to say, the epic music when you guys enter, the thing will be on live in the internet AND uh..." She looks down at her phone again before looking back at Bloom.

"Yeah, that's pretty much it." She said.

"I know that he sent it into the group chat." Bloom said.

"So why are we rushin' mate?" Mizu asked.

"Because we have to be there early and be prepared." Bloom answered blatantly.

"Ah. Well then, do ya-"

"Yes. Yes, I do."

"But I didn't even-"

"Oh just shut it." Bloom said. After a while of brisk walking, he reaches the area early. He then deliberately walks into the venue and over to the stage, which is where he was stopped by the guard.

"Oy, no entry backstage." The guy said.

"Oh uh, it's pretty important so I have to-"

"No excuses." The guy said. Just then, Mizu walks up to him.

"Listen here, you himbo! Just because you're all so big and strong doesn't mean I can still kick your butt! So let us in or I will personally fight you." Mizu threatened.

"Well, ain't ya a lil' cutie? Bein' all so brave and confident. Listen, you're not suited for this so get on and away with your father or something." The guy said. The words of both 'Cutie' and 'Father' pissed Mizu.

"Ok. Listen here. You LITTLE SON OF A-"

"One, what did I tell you earlier?" A familiar voice said. The guy looks behind him and was immediately surprised by Toby, who was in the middle of his makeup.

"M-Mania! Aren't you supposed to be preparing for-"

"Yes, yes, the performance later. These guys are gonna help us with it! I reminded ya four times already." Toby said. One just stuttered before sighing and moving aside.

"You guys can enter." He muttered.

"Thank you. If he weren't here though..." Mizu then does the thing where you swear that you'll kill them before walking backstage.

"Sorry about my employee. She can be a bit rough at times." Bloom said before also walking backstage. Quickly, One moves back to his position. That's it for One's cameo appearance.

Bloom was following Toby since he knew where the outfit he made was. As he walked, he saw the others. Jerry was just a bit embarrassed and scared to be in front of a wide crowd, Cory was full of energy, Lara was helping to calm down her boyfriend and Triana is, well, Triana. She's just making sure that everyone is fine and all.

"And here are your outfits!" Toby said as he passed Bloom an almost accurate replica of his metaverse outfit, alongside his mask and Mizu her human version of her metaverse outfit, alongside the mask.

"Oh, thanks." Mizu said.

"No biggie now go get dressed, we're gonna start later!" Toby said as he casually pushes the two into separate changing rooms. A while later, the two come out of the changing room, now dressed.

"Huh, this fits like a glove." Bloom commented.

"Thanks for that compliment." Toby said as he casually finishes his makeup. He then walks over and passes the thing he was gonna say. Bloom reads it quickly before passing it back.
