Your POV...
⦓Pomefiore- Lounge⦔
"Why am I here again," I ask not really wanting to be in the dorm.
"You are going to watch us blow the socks off the judges by our performance," Ace slings an arm over my shoulders. "You missed all our practices by handing out with the apple guy."
"Epel," I frown. "His name is Epel. You need to stop getting peoples' names wrong on purpose."
"There's a ton of competition here," Grim exclaims, not paying attention to Ace and I.
"Oh no, I'm tensing up already," Deuce stammers, getting nervous. "I think I'm blanking out on the song lyrics!"
"You'll be fine if you just chill," Ace sighs. "Didn't realize that you would clam up so much."
"Ooh, what's this?" A voice says from behind us. We turn around to see Cater. "Adeuce and the Ramshackle duo? You guys are here for the SDC auditions too, huh?"
"Hey, Cater," Grim greets. "Yeah, how about you?"
"Yep," Cater smiles. "Cay-Cay is def auditioning. The event's happening at our school, and I hear Vil's gonna be in it this year. What could be cooler than competing on stage against a mega-celeb with five million Magicam followers?"
"Deuce took it way too seriously, but you're being way too shallow about it..." Ace scoffs.
Cater laughs, "I'm pretty sure most people here are like me, actually. Check out Exhibit A over there." Cater gestures to Ruggie who was humming a tune. He muttered something about only auditioning to get the prize money.
"Of course he wants money," Grim frowns, his tail thrashing behind him.
"Ah, hello, Cater," Lilia greets as he appears in front of us, scaring the group. Lilia chuckles at the scared reactions. "A perfect reaction. Heartslabyul students are always so full of vim and vigor."
"C'mon Lils, you're gonna give me a heart attack one of these days," Cater puts a hand over his chest, feigning to be hurt. "So Lils, are you auditioning for SDC too?"
Lilia hums in confirmation, "I belong to the Pop Music Club, so I would be remiss to sit out on a musical presentation. I invited Malleus to join me, but he declined, claiming he had no desire to be put on display for humans. He's a surprisingly shy boy, you know."
"I'm not sure your definition of 'shy' is the same as mine..." Cater scratches his cheek "Gotta give you props for bravery, though. It takes guts to prod a bigwig like Malleus into doing an audition."
"Events like these are parts of campus life," Lilia explains. "I thought it would do him some good to give it a whirl, but so it goes. And yourself? I'm surprise you didn't invite your partner, Trey."
"Oh, I did," Cater laughs. "But alas, I got jilted! Riddle's the chairman of the Culture Fair Management Committee, and Trey's busy assisting him."
"Ah, of course," Lilia nods his head in understanding.
Cater pulls out his phone, throwing an arm around Lilia, "So, how's about we take an audition selfie as jilted buddies?"
"Certainly," Lilia agrees. "Come, freshmen. Join us."
"No thanks," I decline, stepping away from the group.
"Uh, you want us in the picture," Deuce questions.
"Nobody rejected us, y'know," Grim growls. Cater snaps the picture, much to the dismay of the freshmen, then hastags the picture before posting it.
"Y'know, considering Malleus's reputation..." Ace speaks, seeming a bit too into his thought. "I always saw Diasomnia as a cold, unapproachable kinda dorm. But you're always warm and friendly, huh? Like yeah, Sebek hangs around Y/n, but he's still cold to the rest of us."
