??? | Goldenrod Radio Tower | Broadcast;

[usedlaserbeam]

[Ladies and gentlemen of Johto, we interrupt your regularly scheduled programming this evening for a Very Special Radio Broadcast™, coming to you direct from Goldenrod Radio Tower...and conveniently lacking in all those pesky little bits of red tape like authorization and advance permission that just get in the way of the show.

As such, the usual Pokemon favorites are conspicuously absent; they've been replaced by something a bit more palatable to the discerning listener. Tangos, jazz, the occasional rondo here and there. And the usual DJs? Yes, well, it turns out they've been replaced by something a bit more palatable, too. Namely, a pair of troublemakers calling themselves futariniousama and usedlaserbeam.

First up, a sultry alto (which may seem oddly familiar to a few of you), sounding perhaps more suited to a phone sex hotline than a radio station host: ]

"Evening, Johto~ Are you ready for a very special treat? Because have we got a surprise for you~"

[Then, following that alto, a deeper voice proceeds to chime in—one that a very select few might recognize as sounding very familiar to one Atobe Keigo.]

"And you should all feel honored for the once-in-a-lifetime experience you're about to be given."

[And without missing a beat, the voice switches back—]

"See, we've decided to borrow your airwaves for a little while. Oh, don't worry! We'll take good care of them, promise~"

"Tonight, instead of the usual mundane drivel you people normally content yourselves with—"

"—we're gonna turn up the heat a little bit—"

"—and bring some culture back into your poor, wanting lives."

[And as the first song cues, feel free to just sit back, enjoy the music, revel in the change of pace—or if you're really feeling moved, why not call in? The lines are open, the DJs are waiting, and they'd just love to hear what you have to say. Or, if there's some burning question that's on your mind, why not phone it in to tonight's premiere of Ask Ore-sama, and let him offer his worldly advice to you?

Regardless, we hope you enjoy the show, because all good things must end and the sweetest treats always come with an expiration date. In this case, that'd be the unmistakable sound of the Kangaskhan Cops storming the building—

—But never fear, folks. If there's one thing your hosts know how to do, it's make an exit.]


[OOC: And now, for the tl;dr explanation of these mod-approved shenanigans! Basically, Yagyuu and Niou share a mutual anniversary in Johto, and they've decided to celebrate it by hijacking the radio tower and running an impromptu radio show for an hour or two this evening. Characters are free to tune in, react accordingly, phone in to the radio station via their Gears, etc! The show itself will end rather abruptly when the Kangaskhan Cops arrive and our dastardly duo makes their escape. But hey, an inch is as good as a mile, and a narrow getaway is still a getaway, right? But they won't leave Jenny and her Kangaskhan high and dry, either; local law enforcement will find a polite note left behind for them, courtesy of 'Bonnie and Clyde'.

HOW TO TAG THIS POST:
▶ REACTION: Feel free to tag with reactions, thread amongst yourselves, etc.! No actual contact with Yagyuu and Niou necessary.
▶ CALL IN: If you'd like to call in to the radio show and give them a piece of your mind, put "Call: General" in the header of your comment! Voice correspondence only, please.
▶ ASK ORE-SAMA: A variant on just calling in—if your characters would like to participate in the "Ask Ore-sama" talk show segment, put "Call: Ask Ore-sama" in the header of your comment and ask your questions! The topic of the night is relationship advice~

Also please note—Yagyuu and Niou are thorough in their disguises and should not be recognizable as anything other than their currently borrowed identities. People who saw That One Hot Chick revealed as Niou, or who are aware of Atobe's absence, are welcome to have their suspicions about who's really up there, but anyone trying to out them on-air will be hung up upon!]

Comments

action; what no i didn't almost forget this thread

[futariniousama.livejournal.com]

[ When the tango ends, their momentum comes to a smooth, if sudden halt, with Niou's weight resting in Yagyuu's arms, and for half a second, he swears if the bastard drops him — but he can't focus on that for long, because Yagyuu's holding him up seemingly effortlessly, and there's not nearly enough distance between them, and has he always thought Atobe was this attractive?

He remembers to breathe after a moment, slowly and carefully, without taking his eyes off his partner. He doesn't move. ]

action; never too late to tango

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

[It's a good thing Niou doesn't voice those concerns aloud, because Atobe wouldn't be the only one offended by the implication that he'd ever drop one of his partners—or indeed, that he'd be careless enough to be anything other than in complete control of the situation. And for the moment, it is the two of them together, Atobe's arrogance and Yagyuu's dominance meshed together into one; Atobe's face with Yagyuu's eyes searching, for once unshielded by lenses of glass.

The tango isn't Yagyuu's favorite dance, but it's the one that Atobe would prefer, and in some ways, it was the right one for this situation—not a gentleman's dance, with bows and changes, but something more energetic, more charged. It's equally Atobe's touch that the room is littered with a veritable blizzard of red rose petals, courtesy of the flower shop in Violet City. But it wasn't Atobe moving his favorite partner across the floor with precision and control a minute ago, and it's not Atobe who's making no move to let that partner up now.

It's different like this, safe beneath a wig and an ego the size of a mountain, when he can shift back and forth as much as he likes. Atobe can have whatever thoughts he chooses about the girl in his arms, and so long as they're his, then Yagyuu never has to wonder if he shares them.]

Have I left you breathless already?

[Atobe's arrogance. But whose question?]

action;

[futariniousama.livejournal.com]

[ Bits and pieces of Niou struggle for the right to represent him in this situation. The competitive, Rikkai-loyal streak wants to take offense at Atobe, so fantastically self-assured and infuriatingly charismatic; the girl he's pretending to be wants to surrender to those same frustrating qualities and be swept away; some well-hidden part of Niou can see nothing but Yagyuu, serene and confident and predatory, like some breathtaking jungle cat all Niou's own. Still and all, there's something in him that won't let go of their surroundings, listening intently as the next song cues up and keeping an ear out for the loud voice of the law approaching.

So it takes him a moment to answer, searching for the right response and the right voice to deliver it in. At last, feminine but strong, unfaltering: ]

Oh, honey. You're gonna have to try a little harder than that if you're looking to leave me breathless.

Call: General

[ oh, god. Rise's been spending most of her time with Kanji in the Center today, but those voices are unmistakable. One, because she's never going to be able to get over just how feminine Niou can sound, and two, because Atobe's voice, whether it's actually Atobe's or not, is always going to make her cringe ever so slightly.

Is that--

Did they really--

Did those two seriously--

Oh, god, Yuushi's not going to be happy--

But still, she's got to give them props if it is them, so--

... well.

Have a call from a cheery voice. ]

Now that beats lullabies and marches any day!

Call: General

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

[It's a familiar voice to Yagyuu, but naturally Atobe would treat all his callers equally--as though it was the highest privilege that he'd even deigned to allow them to speak with him.]

Of course it does, caller. Ore-sama's taste is, as always, impeccable.

Call: General

[restardom.livejournal.com]

And your lovely partner has the same taste, it sounds like.

Call: Ask Ore-sama

[loseyoursenses.livejournal.com]

[Ah, his doubles team. Should he have expected this? Yes. Did he? Well, he certainly expected something.]

What a nice change of pace. I must admit, Johto does lack a bit when it comes to culture.

Would it be untoward to ask for some advice from such cultured people as yourselves?

Call: Ask Ore-sama

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

[...Oh. Oh, boy. Okay, Yagyuu, don't choke. You mouthed off to Sanada before while wearing Niou's face. You can arrogance it up to Yukimura.

...Because naturally, Atobe would, wouldn't he?]

That is, naturally, the purpose of this segment--to let Ore-sama bestow the full breadth of his wisdom upon your unfortunate lives. So tell us, caller, what problem have you brought before us today?

Call: Ask Ore-sama

[loseyoursenses.livejournal.com]

[Of course he would, and Yukimura expects nothing less.]

An upsetting one indeed, but I'm sure someone of your wisdom will be able to help me.

Say that you had a dear friend - or two - who'd lied to you. They follow your orders, and naturally this means they must be given some sort of discipline. Lying is wrong, after all. What task would you set them, in such a case?

REACTION (may become call later)

[Looking down at the radio, Ryoma rolls his eyes so hard it's amazing they stay in his head.] ... You've got to be KIDDING me...

Reeactionish akdjajsjshdud

[emptycicada.livejournal.com]

...What are you doing.

[ He is pretty sure that's how you reply, anyways. ]

[Call: General]

[foolishwren]

_{[... Wow. Man, it's easy to forget what a real orchestra sounds like after being in Johto for so long.]}


.... Talk about a breath of fresh air.

What ELSE you got in there?

[Call: General]

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

[So arrogant. So haughty. So superior. This is the voice of Ore-sama.]

Ah~n? You don't really think this is the best we can do, do you? Don't you know you always save the best for last?

[Call: General]

[foolishwren]

Oh yeah?

Wow me.

[Reaction-- ACTION FOR CHERRYGROVE]

[halfatail.livejournal.com]

<sub>[At some point, Toothless figured out how to make his Strange Box make noise without actually contacting anybody-- but THIS? THIS IS NEW.]

[Apart the weird beeps and boops he's gotten used to hearing, he's never actually HEARD music before.]

[Brb sensory overload.]

[Others in Cherrygrove may find him sort of lying on the ground by the beach and holding the 'Gear to his head, wide-eyed.]</sub>

Call: General;

[parkour]

[Which will start off with some laughter.]

My, my! I had no idea Johto's radio stations had become so comedic!

Call: General;

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

[Ore-sama is not impressed by your laughter, caller.]

My, my, I had no idea Johto's populace was so inept at appreciating the finer aspects of true culture. How fortunate that we're here to educate you, caller.

Call: General;

[parkour]

Is that what we're calling it these days? Really, that's probably more entertaining than the rest of the broadcast itself!

[Yep. Laughing and giving no fucks about it, Ore-sama.]

[not here yet] 1/several

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[.........

is that--]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[wait. wait wait wait. Atobe's not here, and even if he came back he wouldn't have time to get all the way to Goldenrod that fast.

well. that would explain what those two were up to earlier in the week. they must've been practicing for this. he's... not entirely sure he sees the point, but they do seem to like doing odd things like this. and hijacking the Radio Tower isn't the most terrible criminal activity they could be doing, really--

...it's probably a good thing Atobe isn't here, actually, he would not be happy about this.]

[call: ask ore-sama]

[sfaccendato.livejournal.com]

[Oshitari, however... hm.

have a call in from an amused-sounding voice.]

I must say, it's very kind of you to allow us less cultured people such an opportunity to be graced with your wisdom.

[call: ask ore-sama]

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

[Well. This is just a night of interesting callers, isn't it?]

Simply further proof that Ore-sama is as magnanimous as he is magnificent. And what wisdom have you come seeking from us tonight, caller?

[reveiller]

My, someone's asking for a fight.

[usedlaserbeam.livejournal.com]

That's hardly the sort of conduct Ore-sama will tolerate on-air, caller.
