Tyrant Rose POV:
It was finally time for us to meet our possible new boss, and everyone had mixed emotions. Some were excited, others were nervous, and finally, some weren't expecting much. Two weeks ago Ayana came in saying the team wanted to see our abilities for ourselves and do a tryout, which we were cool with. The next thing made us nervous, they wanted us to show and prove our creativity with a video performance. Vic took a breath, while discussion erupted amongst us, and took control.
BlaD, Norn, GW, KiWi, ImP, Spice, and I are in charge of dealing with the video performance watched over by Mama. While Vic, Rain, Jo, Steel, Lily, Sweets, and Gray were prepping for the tryouts and negotiations. We all soon got to work, with BlaD writing the song, GW with choreography, Norn with clothing and makeup, KiWi and Spice on creative, ImP and me on composition, and Mama on cinematography. We soon also planned out the contract demands via Vic and Gray, and proper training preparation thanks to Rain and Jo. It was weeks of hard work and soon the performance was recorded, which we had to use a phone camera because of our lack of funds, but it was good enough.
The performance wasn't perfect thanks to our busy schedule and lack of time. We weren't perfectly synchronized all the way, the suits were rentals, the makeup was basic, and the choreography was simplified. The performance, stage props, and cinematography were held back by funds as well. It was to say we were held back by a lack of funding even though we had a lot of creative possibilities and ideas. Still, we filmed it and it still looks better than a lot of music videos we saw online to gauge quality.
Now we were headed there as we held multiple copies of the music videos performances. One with Gray, one with Vic, one with Ayana, and the other hidden amongst ourselves that no one except the holder knows. This had to be done because BlaD is paranoid about credit and work being stolen, seeing things in the music industry. Everyone else that was involved in that industry agreed, others thought it was too much, I agreed with BlaD, also putting a kill code in each if the right password wasn't entered or was bypassed. We soon took off to the sports base of Dark Wear Fashion.
Which is run by a hidden owner, but is actually very successful locally and internationally. The owner has never been spotted by the public, or the media, preferring to keep their privacy. This was all due to GW and Gray's research on the company ahead of time. We soon arrived at a gigantic fusion of a team headquarters and a western mansion we've ever seen. This was also after miles of forest on a dirt road to get here.
The place was super fancy and really big, and as soon as we got off we were mobbed and welcomed by a multitude of maids and butlers. I also saw security everywhere and each of the maids and butlers being armed in some way. We were all on high alert at that moment. That's when Ayana who was here to introduce us said to them," Hello there we're scheduled for a tryout with Lady Sakamoto. I'm Hiraga Ayana and clients."
An old-looking butler, whom I assume is the highest ranked in this group then said," Greetings Miss Hiraga and other guests we have been expecting you. Please do come in." The security and other servants formed a path welcoming us in as the old butler guided us into the building. There we saw the place was fancy and extravagant, just screaming hella rich at your face. That's when the butler stopped us and at the bottom of a staircase announced," Ladies I present to you Lady Mina Sakamoto Du Vault."
A very average height woman then appeared on top of the staircase saying," Greetings my possible future players, I welcome you to the sports base of Dark Wear Fashion." She was wearing a fancy Gothic Lolita gown, expensive yet fitting makeup, beautiful jewelry, and ornaments. Still, the most important fact she looks like a dark-haired, red-eyed, very rich, and ladylike Tamamo Cross. I was speechless along with everyone else, I could see she didn't think she looked abnormal compared to the normal person, yet she had a lot of intelligence behind those eyes. She came down the stairs in the most perfect and ladylike manner, and then said," Shall we get down to business, Lady Hiraga?"
I then saw she didn't have horse ears and tail making her human, and seeing how she acts, she's not a transmigrator like us. She's just a lookalike, who's willing to give us what we want, rich, connected, smart, and ambitious. This might just work out for us if we play our cards right. Vic soon came forward saying," Hello Madam Sakamoto Du Vault I am Victory Gate, and it's nice to meet you." She then responded," Nice to meet you too Victory Gate, I insist you all call me Miss Sakamoto though."
We all caught that it was not a request and just agreed to do it. We all soon introduced ourselves following Vic, and everyone did so in their own eccentric way. We were soon led away by the same butler from earlier towards the training field. When we got there we all saw it was massive it had running tracks from short to long races, in every terrain. Then I saw a board with a map turning the facility and forest into different terrain marathon tracks. The map also showed outdoor restrooms, locations of different workout facilities, relaxation facilities, and so much more. This place had everything needed for training, and the new boss seems to act like it's just simple necessities.
I soon knew we needed to succeed in these tryouts, and I saw everyone was in the same mindset. We showed off what we could do, impressing our possible new boss. Some showed off their speed, some their adaptability, some their stamina, others their strength, and finally some their endurance. We not only showed our abilities, but also what made us each individually special. I then saw that she was impressed, and the physical tryouts soon ended.
She then announced in front of us all," Good job everyone, you are all very great, but it's not over yet. Next, we will be viewing your musical performance video, and depending on it, we will proceed accordingly. Now my butler will give you a tour of the facility after you all take a shower in our locker rooms. Do not worry all the stuff you brought was put in there you will find them once you enter." It seems we did a good job, and now it's time to see if we can keep our creative rights, and performance rights as well.
We were soon given the tour, this place had an indoor pool, weight room, gym, sauna, hot spring, arcade, massage room, infirmary, and so much more. At this point, we were sure we wanted to be part of this organization. We got to the locker room, and each of us got our own personal showers that came with necessities and shower settings that were insanely advanced. After the shower, we soon got dressed and went to the relaxation room full of massage chairs, couches, and televisions. We waited there until the butler came and guided us to the indoor theater to watch our performance.
The place was huge and full of staff surrounding our potential new boss. Once everyone was seated we all began to watch our performance. I soon began to get very nervous, the video wasn't great, the outfits and props weren't the best, and the performance wasn't perfect. Still looking around the audience was enjoying the show and the music. BlaD is still a genius song maker, and GW is still a great choreographer.
Once the performance ended, there was applause, and the boss soon got up and asked to meet with the team's leadership and Ayana. The rest went back were guided to a waiting room just outside the negotiations office. We got through it all, with Ayana, Gray, and GW looking through the contracts, while Mama and I were watching the new boss and her staff carefully. We eventually called everyone in, explained as they signed the contracts, and soon it was official we are now the racing team of Dark Wear Fashion.
