An intern in a dark-green off-the-shelf supermarket suit and tie walks onto the screen. Inexplicably, he is wearing white face paint in what appears to be an homage to Phantoms. Nobody at ASGTV has realised that it’s supposed to look like a skull. He begins to speak in his patented heavily accented nasal monotone.
“Hello Urth! Can you all hear me today? Many thankyous for concert amazing! Can people guess the destination of twelve point?” So saying, he points at his face paint and breaks out in a cheesy grin. ASGTV will later have to apologise for this: the intern’s pearly whites combine with the patterns of the face paint to form a pattern that closely resembles a particularly taboo Reiji swear word.
“Blessings all to everybody, and congratulation on Alksearia!”

Sund! Hello Tavaris! My name is Tesara Nira and I’m proud to bring you all the votes from the three nations of the West Borean Federation! We’ve gone back to AZU for student volunteers to help us count the votes - although after last year’s stunt we’ve decided we’ll go to the architecture department instead!
(The camera pans over to a desk with a scale model of Rivermouth Park Stadium, with a row of miniature flagpoles flying the ten countries set to recieve points.)

And without further ado, the results from West Borea! Congratulations to - fun fact - a good old friend of mine from university. Small world, isn’t it. We used to skateboard around the old Skárun building and now we’re at Urthvision! Twelve points to the beautiful song about-- about…
(The smile vanishes from her face as she freezes in her tracks. This appears to be the first time she has considered that Good Luck, Babe! might actually be about something. After six seconds of her tumbling the lyrics around in her brain, the production staff realise that mentally unpacking her entire life might take a while, and the audience will be getting impatient. They quickly cut back to the model stadium to spare her blushes, and text the results over to Tavaris.)
