The report club’s festival work had begun long before the school opened its doors to the public. They were, after all, nothing without reports, and a report was nothing if it wasn’t presented effectively. Fortunately, one of the club members had had the brilliant idea of killing two birds with one stone – creating news while having a bit of fun with the passer-by’s. And of course, if it was brilliant, it had to be from Emi. The girl in question was hidden inside the club’s stall, which was much closer to a tent, with its single opening leading into a dark cavern of mystery. Her presence would not be missed, however, for she starred on the TV screen set up just outside it! A video played on repeat
“Youkoso! This is UA’s Report Club, the one stop shop for student news and happenings! Gathering and sending messages are our bread and butter, but not many people get to see what goes into making and breaking the news on campus! So, we decided to not only give you all a taste of what we do, but also give the spotlight to a few lucky students!”
The scene on-screen changed to a graphic of the school tent. “You’ll notice that our stall is a little different from the rest. That’s because we’ve set up a mini-studio inside! For those few brave enough to venture in, we’ll be making promotional videos all about them! Why? Because this festival is all about highlighting our young heroes-to-be, and highlighting is what the report club does best!”
Like an animatic, a chibi student in UA uniform shifts in from stage left. Its body rotates to simulate walking as it enters the virtual stall. “Come into our studio, where one of our lovely reporters will be waiting to make you a star! We’ve got professional cameras, equipment and the know-how to make you shine, and the right channels to let Japan know who you are!” The stall's interior flashed white, with the accompanying stock camera shutter sound suggesting a miniature photoshoot. “Your video will be posted on UA Today and Emi’s Exclusives. It’s a fantastic opportunity to introduce yourself to the world, with a little help from the school’s best content creators! So, what’re you waiting for? Come in, introduce yourself, and take your first step to stardom today!”
Disclaimers zoomed across the bottom of the screen, almost too fast to read.
'The report club reserves the right to take creative liberties with the footage provided and the accompanying voiceover. Participants are wholly responsible for any damage they and their quirk inflict on the club’s equipment and property. The report club is not responsible for any mental or physical trauma inflicted as a result of this activity.'
Those that dared to step inside in spite of that would find the girl from the video, tinkering with a DSLR camera on a tripod. True to her word, the room looked ready for business. The camera was positioned half a dozen feet away from a green screen, which had a pair of inactive lights on stands pointed at it. She was too busy changing the lens to notice the newcomer right away, but given a second, she would look up and see…!

Hello! Thanks for taking an interest in my thread. It’s only fair that I mention that my posting speed will be very slow. I’m on holiday at the moment, and won’t return to a place with a computer and stable internet until early March. If that’s fine with you, then feel free to post, and I'll commit to replying whenever I can so we have a finished thread!
