“That’s that one lady that sent Kenesh to attack Reina. She’s really evil.”

“Not too bright, though. If I was planning to attack someone, Reina would be the last person I’d want to try and fight.”

“It’s ’cause school started, and me and Talitha-chan thought we should decorate the site like our school.”

“Next week is our first football game, too.”

“Slick. Who are we playing?”

“We’re on the road against Silver Ranch.”

“Home of the Mustangs.”

“The Silver and Black Payback.”

“They sound really mean.”

“How did we do against them last year?”

“We split. Both lost our home games. They placed 19th in the Battle of the Bands. I think they’ll drop to ‘B’ bracket. They won’t compete in Open Division this year.”

“Their quarterback graduated too. He was a really good player. He was dating Arianne last summer, but he moved away.”

“Is he cute?”

“Beyond cute. I think we met him at Founder’s Day last year. Silver Ranch was the host band and had their football starters on their float.”

“Of course, Shannon thinks any guy is cute if he’s taller than her.”

“Hey!”

“I think ’starting quarterback’ might have something to do with it too.”

“I wanna start a new weekly event on the site.”

“O Rly?”

“Can I be in the new event?”

“Yeah, what are we gonna do with Cici? We’re going to be at football games every Friday and parades on most of the weekends.”

“Gotta find a way to draft her into the band. What do you say over there, Drum Major Boss Girl?”

“Second Drum Major. I’m only in command when Paul and the Director aren’t, but I’ll think of something by next week.”

“Yay!”

“What’s the new event?”

“Okay, every week after we get back from the football game, and maybe when we get back from parades, I wanna do updates from Doubler’s or wherever we go after so we can tell everyone how we did in the halftime show and if we won the game and stuff.”

“Sorta like a ‘late update.’”

“Yeah!”

“Tell them about Twitter.”

“What about Twitter?”

“Yeah, what about Twitter?”

“Yeah, what about Twitter?”

“Yeah, what about Twitter?”

“Oh my goodness.”

“Okay, Talitha-chan gots a way to put updates on me and Teko’s Twitter page with her phone so sometimes we can put updates right from the stands during the game!”

“So it’s high-tech real-time goofball?”

“Paradigm of the future.”

“Obvious question here. What about Ten Update Fridays?”

“Okay, so if we gots a Ten Update Friday going, the last one or two updates that day will be about the football game, except if we do a Twitter one, then that’s not a Ten Update Friday update. But the football game stuff will always be after we get back, so maybe like after 10PM or 11PM at night, depending on if it was an away game.”

“That’s pretty late for Little Bit over here. You’re not going to fall asleep on us now, right?”

“Nope! I wanna go to Doubler’s for pizza and soda!”

“I think we’re set. Tune in next week, Lions Fans. See how bad we made Silver Ranch’s band look.”

“It’s Silver Ranch vs. Tree Shores, the Mustangs against the Lions. Don’t miss it!”

“See you then! Ja ne minna-san!”

“We’ll still do updates between now and then too, so come back tomorrow.”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, my goodness.”

“Outer space is a big place.”

“Sounds like the tag line from a science fiction movie.”

“What did Hayashi do that makes her the smartest person in all of science fiction?”

“Okay, first she made a whole new web site that’s got all the same stuff from the Band Room site, but that anyone can put on their web site, but only a few articles at a time, and it talks to our site and every time we put something on our page, it shows up on their page.”

“This is why we leave the technology stuff to the Professor. I have no idea what Goofster just said.”

“There’s a new orange button in the menu!”

“Yeah! That’s our new web site, and you can even put it in your browser menu!”

“It’s an RSS Feed.”

“Oh, I get it. You click on it to subscribe and then it updates in your browser or reader program whenever we add a new article.”

“It’s free too!”

“That’s pretty slick. People can keep up on all the band room happenings even if they don’t visit the site that day.”

“And since we’re covering all the LadyStar updates like the webnovels and games, all our readers have to do is subscribe to one feed and they’re automatically following everything on all of our sites.”

“That’s super-cool Shannon-sama! But that’s not the best part. Talitha-chan made it so every time we put up an article it automatically gets added to me and Teko’s Twitter Page! Isn’t that neat? That way all the people who read our Twitter page for updates won’t miss out on anything!”

!

“Looks like Teko’s impressed.”

“Ooh, one more thing.”

“What?”

“Heheheheee… I got another number button. This one is lime.”

sigh

“Ready with all the answers.”

“Okay, the comment is from Sharon (Hi Sharon!) and she said on our character page that she couldn’t find Reina.”

“Ooo, great question. Reina’s on the Ajan Champions site in the Hall of Warriors. We figured she’d rather be there since she kind of helps us learn how to fight.”

“That’s neat Alanna-sama! If you want to send us an e-mail go to my super-cool Jessie’s Letters Page, or if you want to leave a comment for the Band Room, just click the ‘Join the Conversation’ link on any of our articles next to the little pink dot that looks like a piece of candy and I’ll get all my best friends to help answer your questions all about LadyStar and our web sites! Ja!”

“I wish I had my powers when those people tried to chase Kishi down in that forest. Shannon is ready to fight in Chapter Thirty One of the Dreamspeaker.”

“Is the Professor talking smack over here? Is that what I just heard?”

“That’s what it sounded like to me.”

“Far out.”

“If I were those guys I’d leave, because Shannon-sama gets really mad.”

“Don’t miss the next chapter, folks.”

“What.”

“Me and Teko got 40 followers on our Twitter page.”

“Nice!”

“I’m gonna get Talitha-chan to help me find a new number button.”

sigh

“That’s the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”

“Whatever you do don’t show it to Jessica.”

“Why not? This is like, classic Goofster video alert stuff.”

“It’s got a singing sunflower in it.”

“Correction. A singing and dancing sunflower.”

“And dancing zombies.”

“I’m still not following you.”

“Okay, we’re going show Jessica Hoshi a singing and dancing sunflower. Imagine an explosion of hearts, butterflies, stars, sparkles and pink unicorns with enough power to destroy a medium sized solar system.”

“heh”

“That’s a lot of butterflies.”

“Okay, so the plan is we don’t show the video to Jessica.”

“Show me what video?”

“RUN!”

“E-mail hat?”

“Check!”

“Teko?”

“Check!”

“This is a new one. We don’t get much e-mail for Leila.”

“Letter for the Drum Section!”

“Okay, okay, I’m here. What have you got?”

“Okay, it’s from Amani (Hi Amani!) and they said they think it’s cool that your name means ‘Twilight.’”

“It will be even cooler when they find out how it works with the story.”

“Yeah. Keep reading Dreamspeaker. There’s a big event in the Lockvern coming up soon.”

“No spoilers now.”

They also said they like Leila’s character page best.”

“Alright! Drummer girl’s got a fan!”

“The power of the Interwebs.”

“If you want to send us an e-mail go to my super-cool Jessie’s Letters Page and we might get to read it right here in the Band Room! Ja!”

“Hai”

“And there’s a lot of cool pages, right?”

“Hai”

“So we should put up some links for the peoples so they can find the best stuff!”

“Hai hai!”

“That’s easy, I vote for Reina’s Page on The Ajan Champions site, especially the part about that awesome dagger of her’s.”

“I’m going with the What is LadyStar? page, because LADYSTAR IS ACTION!”

“heh”

“If we can use the comic sites, how about the first page of Fury of the Venom Legion and that story about the 800-year battle.”

“My favorite is Shannon’s Warrior Page because it tells all about her jewelry and arrows. It’s got a whole part about Kishi too.”

“I’ll go with the Character Pages. They’re all pretty good, and I like our Japanese signatures.”

“From the ancient LadyStar days. Good times.”

“I like Chapter Five of Kin Kan Musical Universe because I love to go to Fairweather Street and the shops there.”

“Okay Supergoof, what’s your favorite?”

“I like all the pages where we get comments from our readers because I love to read all the fun things they write about our stories and comics.”

“Hoshi is always playing to the crowd.”

“There you have it, folks. E-Mail us with any cool stuff, and check the Goofster over there on the big Twitter Page. Okay, Little Bit, you ready?”

“Ready!”

“Okay folks! We– Are–”

“Out!”
