Omake 1: Chapter 11: "A Very Suitable Title Here!"

Several lights turn on in sequence, causing light to fade into the scene. The light illuminates a desk with Alaylle sitting at it.

"Hello! I'm Alaylle, one of the head researchers of Cute Laboratories LLP! We're interrupting your normal forum viewing to ask a special request of you viewers!"

Alaylle steeples her fingers. "You see, running a limited liability partnership takes money! We're strictly a non-profit organization dedicated towards bringing you the best! And currently... we're broke... bankrupt... And so, we need your pledges!"

Alaylle points towards a screen that has slid down in back of her. "Why, your pledge zeny goes towards quality programming that you see everyday! That's right! Let's take a look at some of the quality shows that your pledge money helps stay on the air!"

Alaylle turns her swivel chair in the direction of the screen. "First up, is a clip of your critically acclaimed economics watch show, 'Prontera Street'!" Scenes of massive amounts of merchants sitting around everywhere in Prontera, selling stuff... oddly the scenes scroll very slowly and rather choppily when they do scroll. "Hmm... we seem to be having technical difficulties..."

Karian peeks out from behind the camera and shakes her head while sweatdropping. "Nuh uh... this is normal footage. Blame the lag…"

Alaylle sweatdrops as she turns towards the camera. "Umm... moving on, your pledge money also goes towards the award winning science and magic show, 'LoV'." She turns towards the screen again.

A scene with Pupas gently pulsing on the ground. A monotone voice narrates, "A few stationary targets were chosen for the test of the destructive power of this new spell..." Suddenly large bolts of fire rain down and explode upon impact with the ground, burning the Pupas. Zoom out to show a picture of a wizard giving the thumbs up.

Alaylle looks back at the camera. "And of course, you can't forget a classic, 'Mister Rahl's Neighborhood'" She turns back to the screen.

A scene of a toy neighborhood that then starts to zoom in on a house. As it zooms in, fire can be seen being started on the neighbor's houses. Talien can be seen entering the house and walking over to a closet. "It's a fiery day in my neighborhood, a beautiful day for a feir! Gotta love Teh Fier!" He opens the closet and puts on a flame proof vest and takes out a flamethrower.

Alaylle sweatdrops and turns away from the screen. "Umm... okay..." She squints at the camera as she reads the teleprompter. Alaylle then looks up. "Hey, Kaori? Somehow I don't wanna see the next program... 'Baphomet and Friends' doesn't seem so promising after these!"

Kaori speaks over the intercom, "Ah... alright Alaylle... I-I guess we'll skip over that..."

Karian looks out from behind the camera, "Hey! We're broadcasting live here!"

Alaylle sweatdrops. "Umm... moving on!" The screen lifts up out of view of the camera. "So... uhh... as you can see, to keep quality programming like this, we need your support!" Alaylle points down at the bottom part of the screen, where a phone number appears. "To pledge your support, dial 1-555-ZENY-PLZ! Our operators are ready to take down your pledge!"

Alaylle looks back into the camera. "And speaking of our operators, let's take a look at them!"

Karian turns the camera over to the right, where there are rows of desks with increasing heights with phones on top of them. Manning the phones are several monsters from Ragnarok Online. Baphomet is using his scythe with an ink bottle to take down pledges, Osiris is awkwardly using a pen, Porings are busy trying to loot the phones, and many other monsters answer phones and take down pledges.

Alaylle speaks while Karian is panning across the operators, "That's right, did you know that for over three weeks, the monsters from iRO have had no jobs? Hey! No looting the phones!... Uhh... I mean, these unfortunate monsters can't make ends meet, and were forced into demeaning positions!"

Screens of Baphomet working as a janitor at Burger King, using his scythe as a broom. Another scene of a Poring being used as a garbage disposal. Ambernites showed delivering letters and packages.

"And so, we've given them temporary positions as pledge workers, and are very thankful for their hard work!"

Karian pans the camera back to Alaylle.

"So remember, your pledge goes to help support these great programs and the monsters of iRO!" Alaylle sweatdrops. "We now return you to your regularly scheduled forum viewing!"

"And we're off!" Karian shuts off the camera and goes over to Alaylle. "Yeeeesh... I was wondering when that would be over!" Kaori joins Alaylle and Karian, sighing softly.

"...Karian, Kaori... we really need to talk with our agent about appearances like these..." Alaylle, Karian, and Kaori all sweatdrop, and nod slowly.
