Flashback! Actually, not really!
Randos: Look at us Senpai Emperor!
Perun: Okay, hahaha! Beg, and I might give you whatever!
Hot crowd! Proud Y'golonac.
Y'golonac: Aww, ya really DO know how to work a crowd for an uppity bitch who barged in all ofa sudden. Nice.
Present
Y'golonac: Who the hell doin' some historical revisionism here!?
Almost time to open for the day.
Sarutahiko: It's too early for screaming and crying, what's going on?
Y'golonac: I jus' realized I never managed to get number one so far!
MC: Yup. Even I got 1st place at least once. / Me neither.
(AB) Y'golonac: I'm still #2 back in Kabukicho. Is this really all I can do without my power...?
(C) Y'golonac: You were gettin' there until Bael did his shenanigans, heh.
Bael: ...heh. Want me to tell you how to be number one?
Y'golonac: Clonin' ain't a REAL way of bein' number one! I mean I could be if I were six people, but still. I was told not to use my power and I just get used by ev'rybody.
Bael: Ouch, I didn't expect to get clapped back like that.
Sarutahiko: Nooo fighting! Bael, can't you just help without making it all complicated? Also things are different if you judge by total sales! You're good!
Y'golonac: Pfffft. Easy for you to say, Mr. I Won Before. (flicks Sarutahiko with his pinky)
Sarutahiko: OW WHAT
MC: You stop that right now! / Chin up, boss! / Let's just keep at it, okay?
(A) Y'golonac: But y'all keepin' me outta the winners club, it feel like...
Y'golonac: Weeeh, I wanna be number one without makin' any efforrrrt!
Sarutahiko: Damn, you really ARE a huge loser off the clock.
Here comes everyone else.
Barong: Hey Y'golonac, I'll help you get to number one!
Y'golonac: boy you are on the other team
Perun: Ha! Just take anything offered to you.
Y'golonac: Sounds like a bad idea in the host business...
Sarutahiko: Hey, we're all on the same team for this workplace!
Y'golonac: But I'mma be a failure as a Foreigner if I get to be number one with help.
MC: no way / I will slap the taste out of your mouth if you keep bitching / but they're offering
Tsukuyomi: You don't get to the number one spot on your own.
Bael: I can.
Sarutahiko nudges Bael.
Tsukuyomi: I said you could ask us for help if you needed it. Even for personal stuff. We all have our ways of nosing into people's business.
Tsukuyomi smiles at everyone.
Tsukuyomi: You shine your way, we shine in ours. Like we have already, right?
Y'golonac: I guess...but I got so much going on wit' management and stuff!
Tsukuyomi: Oh, the whole "you gotta work your part" thing? I think you've done good enough if you believe me.
Everyone smiles.
Bael: I...was planning on ditching right away, but I stayed because I felt your work here had meaning.
Y'golonac: Aww, you like me Bael? Keep it comin'!
Bael: I'LL SUE FOR HARRASSMENT, LOSER (stomps off)
MC: You really should stop that / You ruined the moment with Bael! / Bael's cute when he blushes
Y'golonac's elbow relaxes a smidge.
Y'golonac: ...aww, y'all really do care 'bout me. This what Tsukuyomi was talkin' 'bout? Right, I'mma be number one today!
Barong: Awesome! Let's collab when this is all over!
Y'golonac: Stop ruinin' the moment with that shit again, god!
Barong: It's not like that. I noticed lotsa stuff doing this job.
MC peeks over Y'golonac's shoulders and makes eye contact with Barong.
Barong: I'm up for giving my whole self up, but there's people here who'll give everything to me. Kind of my thing so that was an identity crisis, but that means I've got a ways to go to reach my peak. Maybe more's out there, so I'm gonna learn your style of making things hotter!
Y'golonac: ...wow, thanks, but I'mma come on like ziiip.
Barong: Maybe it's weird for me, but I can't help it if my wants boil up.
Y'golonac: Oh fiiine I'll think about the collab, mkay? But you better help me be number one!
MC: Yeaaaah, get 'em old man!
Perun: Rejoice, the beach host club being number one helps ME!
Sarutahiko: You better get Bael to come back first. Also we oughta get Shino and Tetsugyuu in on this.
Y'golonac: Uhhhh, can ya do it for me, Sarutahiko? I suck at--
Sarutahiko: Move your ass!
Y'golonac: But I'm so olllld...
And so Sarutahiko pushes Y'golonac to go after Bael.
The whole bar's rallying for Y'golonac! Time to do a classic commemoration thing!
Y'golonac: Cool, my new original drink bottle and champagne towers are good to go! ...yup!
Tsukuyomi: Heh, unusual to see you nervous Y'golonac.
Y'golonac: Well yeah, I can't be trippin' NOW.
Tsukuyomi: You always take on too much. Just do it like always.
Y'golonac: (slaps his own cheeks) ...cool, we got this tod--
Y'golonac is about to open the door when it gets kicked open and mobs flood in!
Randos: Y'GOLONAC!
Y'golonac: OH MY GOD WHAT
Randos: LET US PICK YOUUUU
Sooo many Y'golonac stans coming in!
Y'golonac: Why are y'all comin' in all at once!? Y'all coordinate or sumthin'?
Randos: Nope!
Y'golonac: Huh. Welp, come on in then gwehehehe!
Tsukuyomi: ...Sarutahiko, we haven't actually made any announcements yet, right?
Sarutahiko: Yeah. We got things ready, but no one said anything yet.
Tsukuyomi: Why are they all here then? Hmm...
Elsewhere
Turing: So, did that stamp rally actually do anything? Enigma, status report if you would please.
Matrix data stream!
Enigma: ...apologies, data leak detected.
Turing: Show me? High risk, hmm? ...Repeat of Vampire Incident? Summer Minion Warning???
Beach Host Bar
Y'golonac: Whoo! Okay that was a LOT of mah babies to talk to, like what. Break time! Gwehehe, I'm totally number one today.
Bael: Excuse me, I have a question.
Tsukuyomi's here too.
Y'golonac: Huh? What? Sumthin' up with my babies?
Bael: Not that. Y'golonac, did you use your power again?
Y'golonac: N-no??? Ain't all this happen cuz of my charms and your help?
Bael: ...Sarutahiko says he senses some sort of Cosmic Horror Mental Corruption going on.
Y'golonac is startled. He clearly knows something.
Y'golonac: N-no, it ain't me I swear to god! I mean yeah most of them are my babies, but they were like that comin' in!
Bael thinks.
Bael: ...understood. We will talk more later, but for now can you stay here and not do more of anything suspicious? I can't say what my colleages will do.
Tsukuyomi: So Bael, you really are...?
Bael: Yes, the judicial police put me up to this.
Y'golonac: I swear I didn't really do anythin'!
Bael: I've seen how things go so many times in court. Unfortunately I can't let a risk factor go unsu--
Tsukuyomi takes Bael to his Shadow Realm!
Tsukuyomi: Welcome! Would you like a champagne tower?
Bael: A memory attack? This constitutes obstruction of justice, you know?
Tsukuyomi: Ruuude. This isn't an attack, I just wanted to remind you of things and ask you to recheck. What did Y'golonac do, and did he really do this?
Later
Y'golonac: (frowns)
Sarutahiko: Oh, back at it already? Table over there's waiting for you.
Y'golonac walks out.
Sarutahiko: Wait what's up with that?
MC: Huh, was he crying? He seemed off. Oh well maybe he'll come right back.
Beach Mall
Y'golonac: (looks back at the beach bar) Sorry Tsukuyomi. I dunno what to do now that we're here. I ain't even do anything...
Y'golonac thinks of MC and the Outlaws.
Y'golonac: I can't be arrested here, but I can't cause problems either so...
Y'golonac is trying to think, but he can only focus on his next step.
Governor P: Lord Y'golonac?
Y'golonac: Ain't I seen you before somewhere? Uhh...
Flashback!
Governor P: ACCEPT MY OFFERINGS LORD Y'GOLONAC
Present
Y'golonac: Oh right you that one baby. Sorry I'm in the middle o' sumthin' here...
Governor P: It's okay, we'll come with you.
A bunch of (or just two) other mobs pop up!
Y'golonac: WHAT
Y'golonac knows the general conditions as to how powers work in Tokyo, but how come he's got so many minions now? He doesn't have the faith for that. He's one of the more minor Foreigners, so it takes everything to hold onto a tiny group. This shouldn't be possible unless some other power is hijacking things.
Elsewhere
Enigma: Reading article. "Summer conspiracy theory? Return of the Vampire Incident with vampire Y'golonac spreading minion plague through minions." Researching...high probability of demagogy faith hacking.
Beach Mall
Governor P: I preached the word of my lord and master Y'golonac, and then I got all you all these new followers! I'll do my best to help you be number one!
Governor P seems to be hoping Y'golonac will notice him and be happy.
Y'golonac: DUDE WHAT THE HELL, YOU'RE RUININ' MY HOME
Governor P's face falls!
Governor P: ...can't we be your home? Can't we help you get what you want?
Y'golonac: W-well...I used to want that and made so many minion babies when I was stuck in that brick wall...
Welp, Governor P was just trying to stick to his beliefs and incited other people's desires to help Y'golonac.
Y'golonac: Y'all did to others what I did to y'all? I'm sorry...
Governor: W-wait why are you apologizing!?
Y'golonac: It ain't enough for me anymore...
Y'golonac now wants all the things! Rando Stans B and C seem mad!
Stans B and C: Faker! Pretender! You said you'd love us if we became minions! You aren't the REAL Y'golonac!
Governor P: wait what
Stans B and C: Shut up, you!
Stans B and C feel useless and now want to attack Y'golonac!
Governor P: Wait stop, no! Lord Y'golonac, I didn't mean for--
Y'golonac: It's cool, this is me payin' what I owe for the incitement shit. At least this way I'll stop botherin' the Kabukicho peeps and make y'all happy.
Stans B and C: Okay! (attacks Y'golonac)
Beach Bar
Sarutahiko: Okay where the hell did Y'golonac go? Did he chicken out?
Shino: Doubtful, but it's strange. Maybe something happened.
MC: I'm worried...I'll go look for him!
Perun: Hahaha, so I can be number one today?
Barong: Wait, you guys. Bael and Tsukuyomi aren't here either!
Tetsugyuu: What, now? Do I gotta go draggin' them back?
People are getting worried.
Governor P: Help, please! Save Lord Y'golonac!
Shocked event cast!
MC: wait what
Governor P: I-it's all my fault!
