Me: ah. Okay, I think our ears are good now. SO. Back to the dare. Lui has been dared to… DO STAND UP COMEDY IN FRONT OF EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM!
Silas: *eyes wide* No way.
Honcho: YAAASSS!
Lui: *twitches*
Lui: …*dark tone* Excuse me?
Wakiya: LUI? STAND UP COMEDY? *slams the table and stands up* I WAS BORN FOR THIS MOMENT!
Hyde: HA HAAAA! BETTER GET MY POPCORN! THIS IS GONNA BE SOMETHING TO REMEMBER!
Me: …AND SO~~~ WE BEGIN!
Lui: *gets up* NO—!
*the room transforms into an auditorium and Lui is put on the stage with a microphone in front of him. The other fourteen are sitting in the audience. (Hyde is munching on popcorn)*
Lui: what the— NOOO.
Valt, Honcho, and Xander: YEEEESSSSSS!
Me: *sitting with the crowd* *talking through the speakers* AAAAAND NEXT UP,,,, WE HAVE LUI WITH STAND-UP COOOOMMMEDYYYYY!
Zac: Come on, Lui… DAZZLE THE CROWD!
Lui: REALLY GUYS?
*there's a faint "WOO. GO LUI!" from Valt*
Lui: *under his breath* oh my god.
Xander: LUIII! HIT IT!
Lui: I- …
Lui: …You're not gonna let me leave until I entertain you people, are you?
Me: NOPE.
Zac: The audience is waiting, Lui~
*silence*
Silas: *gets up* HURRY UP, DUDE!
Lui:
Lui:
Lui:
Lui: Fine.
Lui: *sounds extremely bored* What's purple, over-inflated, and can be found squirming at the top of a tree?
Wakiya: *petrified* oh no. Ohhhh nononononono…
Lui: Wow, you guys don't know? I'm disappointed. It's Wakiya.
Wakiya: *red-faced* … I- um…
Silas: *straining to hide uncontrollable laughter*
Hyde: *mouthful of popcorn* HAAA HAA THIS GUY ISN'T HALF-BAD!
Wakiya (thought): I am so gonna get Lui back for this… *furious*
Lui: Hey, what do you get when you combine a superhero wannabe with a candy you get from the doctor's office?
*silence*
Lui: *smirks* Rantaro.
Valt: *laughs loudly* AHAHAHAHAH YOU DO LOOK LIKE A SUPERHERO WITH YOUR CA—
Honcho: HEY! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU: IT'S NOT A CAPE-! *to Lui* AND WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST LOLLIPOPS?!
Lui: hm… oh- I got one;
Lui: Alright, who here would make the worst burglar? In fact— the worst anything if you ask me…
Everyone: …
Lui: *grins evilly* Zac. With his annoyingly loud, sparkly entrance, everyone would know when he broke in.
Shu: *to himself* wow. Lui is reaallyy enjoying himself up there.
Xander: *hearty laughter* TO BE HONEST, ZAC REALLY KNOWS HOW TO MAKE AN ENTRANCE!
Zac: *crosses arms and sticks nose in the air* And I do so PROUDLY.
Lui: Who here noticed that *points at each person as he says their name:* Phi looks a lot like Zac, Xander looks a lot like Silas, and Suoh looks a lot like Shu? What was it there? Poor creativity on the artist's part?
Hyde: *sarcastic* …oh really? Phi doesn't look a lot like… oh I don't know— HIS BROTHER?!
Xander: huh. *looks at Silas* He's right! *grins* Hey there buddy, all you need is to dye your hair red, and drink a boatload of milk, and you'll be Xander Jr. HA HA HA!
Silas: What—?!
Suoh: *scoffs* I am nothing like Shu.
Shu: Me? Like Suoh? What?
Honcho: *expression slowly realizing* wait. Shu and Suoh both have crazy white hair—
Suoh and Shu: …crazy—?
Honcho: They both wear coats and ties, they're both associated with a shade of red… AND THEY BOTH HAVE A DARK SIDE!
Suoh: *shrugs* Can't argue with that.
Shu: *out loud* dark side?! I am over being Red Eye. How many times do I need to tell you before it sinks in?
Lui: Alright. *laughing coldy* How do you beat Rantaro in a Beyblade match?
Honcho: *laughing obnoxiously* HA. HA. HA. NO ONE CAN BEAT ME IN A—
Lui: You name your launch, "Unicorn Counter".
Honcho: *looks like a ghost*
Lui: HE WOULD RUN OFF THE STAGE LIKE THE BABY HE IS.
Honcho: ╥﹏╥ Not cool, man…
Ken: Anyone else think Lui's taking advantage of this dare and using it to insult everyone?
Daigo: …
Daigo: Honestly, Ken, what did you expect? This is Lui we're talking about…
Lui: *sighs happily* All this really makes me feel a whole lot better, don'tcha think?
*at this point, the whole crowd is high on tension, embarrassment, and anger*
Xander: *looking around* HA. WHAT A SHOW!
Hyde: *slurps Coke* Well that was satisfying, wasn't it? *stretches and leans back in chair*
Shu: *sigh* what a disaster…
Me: *changes setting to back to normal*
Lui: *really enjoyed himself there*
Me: Did not go how I expected. WELL, THEN. THAT'S OUR SHOW FOR THIS CHAPTER! ADIOS!
