> Lyrica: Remove shades.You remove your sunglasses, because your vision isn't augmented. And also because you need to be able to put them on again if you score a sick burn on one of your sisters at lunch.

This is MEL. He rents a room in the basement. He telecommutes to do his job as some kind of legal paperwork guy; he works for the Yama's office, which sounds interesting, but he's not allowed to talk about his cases, which is lame.
He's an alright guy, and a pretty good Dhalsim player.
Sounds fun. You might need to try that later.
After spending a moment pondering the subtle complexities of fairy CvS2 competitive play, you go to the corner of the room to dig into the mini-fridge, looking to get Chen something to drink.
Unfortunately, it seems the fridge has been packed entirely with junk food and soft drinks advertising themselves as "gamer fuel".
You guess you can't really argue if it works for them. Placebos are amazingly effective on fairies.
> Lyrica: Tell Cherry about the gig before you forget.You point Chen towards the kitchen and tell her to help herself to whatever she wants, and that you'll be along in a minute.
You find Cherry Blossom in her office, fumbling with the maths. The maths will forever be her nemesis, and you thank god every day that she's willing to let you pay her to do them. Running the logistics for the Prismriver Ensemble is no fun at all.
You inform her about the non-change in schedule.
Speaking of schedules, at this point I'm running short on time so I'm going to half-ass the art for the rest of this update.
Anyway, with that matter settled, Cherry's expression changes to that of someone that is about to discuss something they'd rather not discuss.
That's a real kick in the pants. The Prismriver Ensemble has been so successful for so long, you kind of forgot that Gensokyo's population is so small that not appealing to the major demographics would limit your income. You cringe at the thought of scaling back your stage budget. It's no fun that way!
You leave Cherry to her maths and proceed to the kitchen. On the way, you hear the roadies yelling JUSTIN WONG again. They don't even know who Justin Wong is, they just think it's something you yell when somebody does something crazy in a fighting game.
> Lyrica: Enter kitchen.
Your sisters are here, as is Chen, who has been served some iced tea and leftover sushi. She appears most grateful.
It's probably time to talk turkey. And chowder.
