Mark frowned at yet another callout. "Did i miss a "competitors only" sign on the way in or why is everyone getting on my case today? im here to show you all what support i can."

"She has a point, an important one at that, the comparison does not help any of you, you need to focuse on yourselves, in front of the camera or on stage, there's invariably gonna be SOMEONE that outperforms you, some people have prepared more, some may be more naturally gifted, but if this is what YOU want to do, you should never let that deter you. so to answer your question: not with the attitude that you need reassurance. no one's gonna throw their drinks at you for daring to get on stage though, so just go out there and make it yours."<br/><br/>Toni had been riding the high of her Gym victory all the way to an audience seat, you could have dropped an exploding voltorb behind her and she wouldn't have flinched (sorry derek).<br/>Now that it had subsided she had paid close attention to the contest instead, unfortunately the Lyrics were not easily discernible to her, and she noted Jester had not nearly gone as extravagant as she definitely could have... the dualistic being that was joker and her had not stopped being confusing to the girl. "something she is trying to forget perhaps?... maybe i need more practice in appraising songs like this."
