"As is tradition let's ask our highest scorer how she came to her fashion choice?"

I smile as I step forward. Well I wonder how they will take this?

Calculating forward trajectory of hosts objective.

I do not like the sound of that.

"Well to be honest it was the first thing that popped onto my head after mentioning that theme, I mean what could be more reckless from a time when the weather and disease already made sailing hard then to pick a fight with the rest of the world? Besides it's not very often today that you can find a legitimate excuse to play pirate." I walk carefully to the centre of the room and mentally congratulate myself for not stumbling.

Determine completion requirement degree to activate automode.

Huh? Do RPGs even have auto complete, I thought that was limited to solitaire.

"Well I can say the results have been spectacular, but you really need to satisfy my curiosity. How did you work up the guts to bring Fashion King Lee into your act?"

"Umm, well I didn't know he had such a resounding moniker, but when I had spoken to him previously he seemed fairly amicable to get along with."

I thought his clothes where expensive as a result of being the last boss but didn't expect him to also be a part of the modelling industry, wouldn't have taken him for having the patience.

Completion threshold determined at 75%

Grr, really annoying, what are you even trying to figure out, it's not like you can have an automated completion while I'm still physically or er mentally playing the game.

"Hmm, you have met the fashion king before? And coincidentally your challenge response perfectly matches his decision? Do I smell a conspiracy?" as the host speaks the screen behind the patrons shows an image of Lee holding up a simple placard that says,

Theme: Reckless

Style: Pirate

Oh, I can see why that might raise a few flags hmmm what to say, since I didn't know he was a patron I hardly had the option to conspire, but I don't think that my word is really gonna cut it.

Matchmaker Ryan and Kain - completion 22/40

Raise Ryan to top manager - completion 5/20 bonus points added for association with leading agency revised calculation 18/20

So the world is scored out of 60?

Before I even have the chance so start to defend myself the other contestants begin to murmur and then start to shout with considerable hostility.

I wonder if this will effect the completion calculation? Bet the GPS or rather system has another breakdown.

"Well, while it didn't occur to me that Rayne would ever need such plebeian means to trample the competition here I will admit to feeling that it was somewhat wasteful to leave such talent to this sort entrance to the industry. Seeing that he far outstripped the rest of the competition for all the previous entries it should be unsurprising that he once again did well today. However, if their are concerns as to the integrity of my families business actions, even if it is just in relation to our celebrity and modelling agency I will of course withdraw my participation from the competition and take this gem with me as a new talent for our firm with nothing to gain from your competition." As Lee spoke the room grew quite and the chill off his words began to make not only the formally loud contestants but also the host, judges and other patrons shiver.

Hidden missions

Capture the hidden boss 20/20

I did capture how?

Ensure host happiness 10/20 bonus points for romance with hidden boss completion of boss capture 20/20

Ah? Lee likes me? Like like? Huh, a relationship that would be nic.....

Conditions for automode met. Removing host consciousness and installing automatic duplicate for completion. Thankyou for your work, please continue to work hard.

Wait what?..... as the world fades out I see a shift in Lee's expression before everything goes black.



********

Sorry to anyone that wanted to see more of the modelling competition, unfortunately the system was quite insistent that since the original plot could no longer make a comeback and the tasks completion was assured with the hack of the hidden boss that is was time to change worlds now.

Don't worry Rayne is planning to make her displeasure at the change right after she learnt something amazing very well known in the next world.

Which hint hint

Should be a fun place to be.
