"Okay! Let's get this party started! Also if anyone sues the circus for your acts, I'm suing you." After a green Shy Guy rushed in, Emelda had turned their eye to the others - two of which were missing. "Wait, where's-"
"I think they left a minute ago, so both Goomboss and Mr L are... just gone, I guess. Maybe shoving them onstage isn't such a good idea," Huey replied. "I would know..."
"That changes our order. Flavio, you're up first, and Bombette next. All right?" Without waiting for either of their responses, the Green Paint Star gave them a nod. "Okay, go."
And with that, the crowd was sentenced to a fifteen-minute monologue (Ah, Flavio, I knew thee well"). During those fifteen minutes, Bombette took her time planning her routine, which revealed itself to be some kind of mix between semi-awkward one-person cheerleading and explosions after Flavio's speech about his many achievements.
Soon after, the Toads in the stands tossed out a bunch of Prism Points to both performers as Huey cheered in the back where nobody could see him. Meanwhile, Emelda checked the ratings.
"How'd we do?" Bombette spoke up.
"I'll never hire any of you ever again if my life depended on it." they replied with a smile.

"And that concludes our first day. Stay tuned for more tomorrow!" Huey waved the others off as they entered the inn, over half of them far more than ready to pass out for the night. The paint can himself turned to see the other Paint Stars - save Crimm who was still out in space - right at his back.
"So that was day one, huh. Real thriller." Solde shrugged. "I'll accept pretty much anything as payment, by the way."
"Ugh, fine. I'll let you have half the burger next time we go to Cobalt Café..." grumbled Huey as the group floated back towards Prisma Fountain for the night.
None of them were aware of the presence of a pair of small, bright eyes, watching the paint can from the shadows...
