Goooood greetings everyone! Once again, your Ibuki is here to brighten your day! Whether you're wolfing out, getting your bite on or feel life's slipping through your fingers, Ibuki Mioda is here to help!

Oh, uh...but sorry if Ibuki hasn't been too talkative. The device has been a little much to handle right now.

[And here, Ibuki moves back from her usual close-up so people can see the reflection of her device and how she is now not so very much bigger than it. Those with sharp eyes will also catch glimpse of someone holding the device steady for her. Which will make sense once she continues.]

Anyway. In celebration of and distraction from this turn of events, Ibuki's manager has arranged a special, once ever-other-hour tabletop performance from yours truly. This is your one and only chance to get up close and personal with fairy Ibuki so make sure you don't miss your chance! Oh but we'll be running for a couple of days at least so don't be too sad if you don't get to first showings. Ibuki has enough energy for everyone!

Action
[Over at the Genessia Center Arts Theatre, there are posters and stands advertising a new show: The Fairibuki Mioda Experience. On the way in, there are time slots at every other hour from 10am until 10pm, each having room for about a dozen or so audience members.

Why so small? Well, that's because a standard dining table has been converted to a stage, complete with mini-amp for her mini guitar. There are no visible light features, because as she is now Ibuki can make her own light shows and she fully intends to do just that. Interestingly, shrinking has done little to change the pitch of her voice; she can still manage her usual range - and her usual energy, too, enough so that she might almost end up in someone's lap for almost missing the edge of the table. Good job she has wings!

In-between shows, she can be seen flitting from person to person - there are people employed to complete official surveys on how the shows go down but she wants to know more for herself. And just to talk to people, because this is Ibuki we're talking about.]

Phew! Ibuki wasn't sure how this would go down but it looks like we're onto a winner! Though I guess the novelty sells it too...

I wouldn't count on you being stuck like that permanently. This place has a way of resetting the status quo.

[He shifts the guitar case on his shoulder so that he's holding it more like one would carry a briefcase.]

I do. In fact, she'd kinda like to meet you, if you've got the time.

Really? Huh. Well in that case, better make the most of it while it lasts.

[And if she doesn't have to worry about it being permanent, she can enjoy herself all the more.

Of course, Ibuki doesn't twig immediately that he's referring to the guitar case when he talks about a new fan. And so she makes use of her wings, flitting around him like she thinks her fan is shy and in hiding.]

Ibuki always has time for her fans. Without them, Ibuki would have no career.

[Dante motions for Ibuki to follow him, moving over to one of the amps and setting down the guitar case. He opens it up and steps aside, allowing Ibuki full access to Nevan.]

Ibuki, meet Nevan. Nevan, Ibuki. Nevan has a fondness for musicians. She can make me a decent one, but on my own I'm not much account on anything but drums. I do warn you though, she is what's called a Devil Arms. She won't try to take over your body, but she will be a drain on it. But yeah go ahead and try her out. I'm curious to see how a real musician could make her sing.

[Ibuki perches on top of the amp to watch, soon moving closer to get a good look at the guitar. Even with the warning, and even as impractical as playing it normally would be, Ibuki is at heart a musician and she's one with leave to play with the shiny thing in front of her.

And never let it be said Ibuki gives up too easily when it comes to what she wants.]

Aaah, Nevan-chan is so pretty! Ibuki can't give her the full treatment today but let's see...

[She makes a few experimental strums with her hand, pressing a currently much smaller than normal foot to the strings to try to figure out the notes. It's not quite the show she'd give normally, but her hearing's still sharp enough for her to sound out where she needs to be for the notes she wants.]

[As soon as she strums, the strings spark and coalesce into a single bolt of lightning, but rather than being electrocuted, there's only a small tingling sensation as her fingers seem to instinctively find the right positions despite the obscuring light.]

Be gentle with her, Nevan. This is her first time, after all.

[Yes, Dante was going to get as many innuendos out of this as possible.]

Ah, so passionate! Ibuki's not sure she's worthy!

[Even if the impact is a little bigger for her being smaller. Her height currently also means she doesn't have much of a range of notes because there's only so far she can stretch, but she's making do at least.]

Oh but maybe we shouldn't go too deep right now. Ibuki's not in a state to make the best of Nevan-chan, after all.

[Dante's just going to watch, smirking a bit.]

If you let her, she'd be happy to go as long and deep as you want. But yeah, maybe wait until this whole shape-changing thing is over. Afterward though, drop by my shop and really give her a good fingering. I'm sure she'd love that.

Hmmhmm, Ibuki can't wait to really make Nevan-chan sing. Dante-chan might want to prepare himself, though. Ibuki's not sure he can handle such intense passion.

[Oh yeah, she can play along with the filth with the best of them. Which is also why she moves so she can kiss the neck of the guitar.]

Sorry, Nevan-chan, but we'll have to call this our warm-up. Ibuki will do a much more thorough job next time.
