Shelinda
Episode Three: STOP "Syndicate Style"
Theme music)
Shelinda: Hey! how are you guys! It's me Shelinda! Well on today's show. We are going to be a little more serious. This past Tuesday was the series premiere of "Syndicate Style" This new reality show, where the Leblanc Syndicate leadr, Leblanc, Grabs twenty guys and puts them through various tests to see which two will be her new henchmen. After the premiere there has been a giant protest against the program. So here on "Shelinda" we will be talking to the protest leaders and former Syndicate members, Logos and Ormi. So please welcome to the show, Logos and Ormi!
(applause from the audience, Logos and Ormi sit down on a long sofa)
A/N: I had to change the chairs to sofa because of Ormi, HELLO its Ormi...
Shelinda: Thank you both for coming. But why are you both against the show.
Logos: It is not the show who we are really against. It is more the production company and Leblanc ,herself. Tobli Studios was always desperate for a show. They proposed an intial idea to Leblanc, about the cameras following her on a day-to-day basis, but you don't know her as much as we do.
Ormi: Plus, after the boss, err...Leblanc started having problems with Nooj, she decided to have the show to find a new man. When they tested the show out, it didn't do so good.
Logos: They tried again using the term "henchmen" instead of boyfriend. We were against it, we have been her assosicates for years and we were not going to have some amateurs reach our status so easily.
So she fired us.
Shelinda: That is tragic. So what are you doing now?
Ormi: We went to the Youth League. Nooj was more than happy to see us again.
Shelinda: For those of you who miss the first episode. We are going to show you a clip...
CLIP START...
(the scene is in the living room of Chateau Leblanc. The twenty men are seated enjoying a fancy dinner and Leblanc walks in the room from the secret passageway)
Lelbnac: Hello Loves. Welcome to your first night here at the Chateau. Tonight, you will be divided into two teams and tomorrow your training begins...

WE INTERRUPT THIS PROGRAM FOR THIS SPIRA NEWS PRESENTATION. WE NOW TURN YOU TO NEWS ANCHORS: BIGGS JEMCHO and WEDGE SANTOS-CASTILLO LINARES.
Biggs: Hello I am Biggs Jemcho.
Wedge: and I am Wedge Santos-Castillo Linares. We are about to go live to New Yevon Headquarters where the praetor of New Yevon, Baralai, will be holding a press conference.
Biggs: I think this has to do with his appearance on the hit show, Shelinda. For the two or three people who don't watch that show, Baralai has been proven to be an "alleged" homosexual.
Wedge: Yes, and I believe what he will do is try to control this from getting out of hand. We now go live to Bevelle...
(Baralai is outside the gates of Bevelle on the Highbridge. He is sorrounded by his fellow New Yevon supporters, Nooj, and the Gullwings.)
Baralai: Hello, First off I would like to thank you all for coming. I would like to discuss the progress we are making with the Youth League, in our alliance. I am proud to say that our troubles have been cleared and We have written a Constitution That will hopefully finish any further interruptions to Lady Yuna's Eternal Calm. In two months the Constitution will be put to a vote. Now if there are any questions? Umm... you...
Reporter: What do you have to comment on what happened on "Shelinda"?
Baralai: I was afraid of this...Last week, I was asked to appear on an episode of the television show, Shelinda. Where I portrayed a vibrant gay male. I would like to take this moment to say that it is false. I am NOT a homosexual. I was offered a tremendous amount of gil to appear gay in order to gain ratings for the program. The "Shelinda" show has no sense of morality, dignity or shame. I come to you now to join me in a boycott against Luca Sphere Studios and Shelinda.
Paine: (to Baralai) But that is hypocritical. If you agreed to their offer than you don't have morality, dignity or shame, either...
Baralai: (tonguetied) Umm...ummm
Reporter #2: Was Nooj or Gippal, given the same offer?
Reporter #3: What about the Gullwings?
Baralai: umm...umm..I was the only one offered.
Reporter #4: So the rest is true?
Baralai: Yes! Except my part, of course.
RIKKU: what!
Reporter #5: Why would Shelinda only want you to lie?
Baralai: I'm not sure.
Rikku: (angry) I HAD ENOUGH! (knocks Baralai of his post) MOVE ASIDE FRUITCAKE! LOOK EHATEVER GIPPAL SAID IS A LIE! I HAVE NEVER HAD SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT MAN, GIPPAL. MUCH LESS I WOULD HAVE IT RECORDED!
Reporter #2: Are the Gullwings against Shelinda?
Rikku: YES!
Yuna: NO! I am sick of this? I stood here silently, but I can't lie to these people. Shelinda has done nothing wrong!
Baralai: (panicking) SHE LIES! We are standing against the enemy. I say we boycott against Lady Yuna too!..
Yuna: (clears throat)
" I know that your hidings things, using gentle words to shelter me... your words were like a dream, but dreams could never fool me..."
Baralai: Don't do this Yuna.
Yuna: "Save your tears cause i'll come back, I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door..."
Rikku: Yunie, No!
Yuna: "Shouting might have been the answer. What If I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart.."
Baralai: (clutching fists) YUNA!
Yuna: "but now i'm not afraid to say whats in my heart..."
Paine: Uh Oh, cover your ears!
Baralai: (off key) "Cause a 1000 WORDS, call out through the ages. They'll fly to you. Even though I can't see
Yuna: "I know their reaching you!"
Both: "SUSPENDED ON SILVER WINGS!"
Rikku: You are so hurtful! (runs away crying)
Biggs: That was...odd.
Wedge: We now return to your previously scheduled program...
