Alcyone, Alcyone! Come here, quick!
What? Goodness, what happened?
Look at this! Look at the numbers! Somehow, we won?!
Wha—how? That’s a lot of votes, Ceyx! Did people seriously bought into our bullsh—
ahem, I mean, our joke like that?
Not only that! Look at the 2nd place, that dude also isn’t exactly an artist.
Maybe that Drangle fella is right... Maybe this contest is a sham...
Now, don’t say that! You’re offending the voters.
What do we do? The actual pianist is in 3rd place, I feel kinda guilty now...
I know... But alright, quick, we’re Pretenders so we gotta pretend that was totally part of our plan.
What plan!?
Exactly!
—Ooh...
Thank you very much you guys, despite me bending and twisting the rules you still voted for me, I'm so glad! I'm also beyond honored to share the spot with Femma and Drangle, who put such a good show. Tchaikovsky has to be one of the most creative renditions of a modern history character I've ever seen, it'll stay with me for a long time, and Rothschild was a show of creativity and ambition. The sheets were all stellar this month, we all did great, tbh.
Shout out to Morg, who deserves to roast me because my sheet is indeed needlessly huge. I'm so sorry. And to Drangle too, who is also right to call me out in not chosing an actual artist... But still, thank you everyone who still gave me a chance, I'm so grateful. ;_;
Let's see each other again in December!
