Prologue!
(Trying something new...) Deep inside a decommissioned labouratory far under the Karoshi Technic's offices in Century Station, the machinery start to light up. Monitors blinked with the notification of an incoming call against the darkened walls of the large, empty room.
The humming of machines and the cooling famns picks up as the light on the pad grows lighters. Fans cooling the equipment blow the dust sheets, whisking their ends into the air.
After reaching a fever pitch, the light blinding, the system cools and starts to shut down. Something... 10 feet tall, and clearly not human, steps off, in the darkness, vanishing into the unlit room.
A night security guard poked his head in and, seeing an empty, quiet room, closes the door and goes on his way...
Meanwhililogue!
Well, the next day, Daveris took her chance, and took it big time. It earned the compliments of the judges, that she could take a chance to try something outside her style. She ended up making it to the next round.
Kendall's work was running fairly smoothly. The show must have some significant backers, since the baud rate for the uplinks was clearly higher than the norm in Century Station. At this point, he was watching over the connection for a conference call with the producer, the network and one of the advertisers. Something about the community of super heroes and violence that is CS does not portray an image the advertisers like.
Next round was a kind of Broadway round: West Side Story, the Jet's song.

After having utterly no interest in the contest the day before, Kendall cannot help but watch Devaris perform. He is happy to see she did so well so that she will stay around with Mei.
Hearing a half conversation from the producers, Kendall just shakes his head and mumbles under his breath, 'Don't like heroes and villians and you choose to shoot in this town, wrong move.'

Mei has nothing to do but sit and watch with Kendall while Daveris performs. As she is sent through to the next round. Mei rushes up as she gets off the stage and hugs her in congratulations. She then rushes back to Kendall. "Isn't that awesome Peter. Daveris got through!"

Daveris came up shortly after. "Come on!" She said to Mei. "We've got the next round to learn. I'm not going to let up mess this up, so let's get moving." She was actually tugging on Mei's arm.

"OK then let us go." Mei gets up and lets Daveris lead her away to wherever she takes her. "OK, Peter we will see you later."

Daveris and Mei are put through a routine that isn't so much hard as requiring split-second timing. People getting it wrong were running into other dancers. And, on top of this, they needed to learn the words by ear.
As Kendall watched, a courrier brought a note for him.

Kendall can't help but chuckle as he watches people collide on the dance floor. He thanks the courier and reads over the note, not sure why anyone would want to send him one in the first place.

Mei joins Daveris and goes through the routine practicing until she nails it down.
Dance - [dice=100]/75%
"Wow this one is not bad at all, what do you think Daveris?" She says hoping her friend finds it as easy as she does.[rand=608727216612950342371259847560816760432065141804525064559453565516]

Daveris is doing some cool-down stretches. "I hope I got it." She says. "Though I'm pretty sure I did."
Kendall's note says: "Ready to deliver payment for services rendered." And gives an address (not Regault's office).

"Well then I guess we wait to preform it then. Hopefully it will not be too long as I am soo anxious to try."
She looks at her friend surprised that the normally semi-noseyness of her has not asked what if anything happened last night.

Kendall folds the note and slides it into his pocket. He gets back to work and checks that all the systems are working and communicating.

Daveris looks like she must have gotten focus today, since she managed to get her second chance.
Eventually, though, comes their performances... Mei first!
Kendall was having an easy day with the equipment.

Kendall watches intently as Mei performs. They haven't had much chance to talk about last night, or anything really with Mei so focused on her performance. He stands and stretches his back and putting his hand into his pocket he feels the note reminding him that he probably has something to do after his shift is over.

Mei stands at the ready to perform.
(OOC - Not sure if I need just dance roll or both dance and singing so will include both below)
Dance - [dice=100]/75% Singing - [dice=100]/75% - As a JIC
Knowing that she has indeed pulled it off she will be happy and await for the Judges decision![rand=16903942498635738694326734459650402166905932924724047327744732638]
