Cascore's Note: Okay, for some reason, I've been really wanting to make an "Ask" fic for a while now. I know it's been done to death, but darn it, I'm attracted to the idea of actual interaction with the readers. I didn't want it to just be another "characters magically get asked questions out of nowhere and they answer" scenario though, and decided to make a setting that I feel is at least a little original and logical for the situation. Hopefully, this way, it can probably feel a little more involving and a bit more fun for everyone who decides they want to participate.
Toads shuffle to and fro as they put the finishing touches on the site that would soon hold the joint press conference. At the edge of the raised stage in front of the mass of seats sits Daisy and Luigi, side by side as they allow their feet to dangle in the air. Daisy appears to be rather amused as she watches Luigi stare out at the space before them, a disconcerted look on his face.
"Nervous?" Daisy asks with a smile. Luigi looks back at her, an awkward smile on his face.
"Yeah, a little," he admits. "I'm just not good at...you know, public speaking. Mario's way better at it than me."
"Really? That's kinda weird, considering he pretty much never speaks in actual sentences," Daisy teases. Luigi only blushes in response as Daisy reaches over and gives him a pat on the back. "Come on, it'll be fun! And besides, I'll be up here with you. It isn't nearly as bad doing this kind of stuff when you have someone next to you."
"I guess," Luigi sighs before taking a deep breath and calming himself down a bit. "At least they're just questions about us, right?" he asks in an attempt to lessen his anxiety. "I mean, all we have to do is be honest, right?"
"Exactly!" Daisy says with a smile. "All you have to do is talk about yourself. That's not hard at all."
"Yeah. Yeah, it's not. I talk about myself all the time to Mario," Luigi responds, brightening up a fair bit. "If it's anything like that, then this'll be a breeze."
"That's the spirit Luigi."
"Alright everyone, it's time to open the doors!" one of the Toads calls across the board room, warning everyone to get to their positions for the conference. Luigi and Daisy heed the notice and take to their comfy seats resting side by side on the stage. The press conference is just about to begin. And Luigi suddenly feels a heavy pit in his stomach, despite the small pep talk that took place mere seconds ago.
You heard 'im folks! The doors to the board room have been opened, and journalists are welcome to enter and ask whatever questions they please about Luigi and/or Daisy, and they'll be sure to answer them all to the best of their ability. So raise a hand, ask a question or two, and become a part of Luigi's and Daisy's joint press conference!
