🎬 [SCREEN FADES IN – STATIC – THEN CRISP VIDEO QUALITY SNAPS INTO PLACE] [Upbeat jingle plays. The screen flashes:]
🎵 “YOU’RE WATCHING TENNA TIME!!” 🎵 [Tenna appears center stage, arms flung wide, confetti raining from above.] TENNA: 🎙️"GOOD MORNING, GOOD EVENING, AND GOOD-WHATEVER-TIME-YOU-CALL-THIS, DEAR VIEWERS!! Welcome to a once-in-a-lifetime, never-to-be-aired-again, fully unscripted, semi-legally binding broadcast of... 📺 ME, TENNA! The host with the most pixels per inch and a nose that’s always in the right drawer! Heh—unless someone moved it again. (LOOKIN’ AT YOU, MIKE.)"
[He twirls dramatically, sparkles bursting behind him.]
🎭 "You might be wondering: 'Who IS this charming, vaguely threatening talk show relic with the glittering tailcoat and a nose that doubles as dessert?' WELL, FOLKS, let me tell you something..."
[FLASH: “TENNA FACT #1 — LOVES ATTENTION” appears on screen with fireworks.] 💡"I was once the PRIME-TIME PRINCE of the Dreemurr living room! The light of their evenings! The glow of their childhood! 📡 But now? Ahem... ever since those remotes got dusty and the plugs got pulled... let’s just say, I’ve been stuck in... 📉 reruns." [The screen dims slightly. Tenna shrinks a few inches.]
🎭 "...But we’re not here to get sappy, are we?! No, no, no! This is a SHOW, not a SOAP OPERA! And baby, the show must GO ON!"
[FLASH: “TENNA FACT #2 — PANICS WHEN ABANDONED” appears quickly, then flickers out.] ✨ "So pull up a chair, grab a gacha capsule, and don’t touch that dial! I’ll give you trivia! I’ll give you prizes! I might even trap you in a high-stakes, ethics-violating Bubble Zone™ if I think you’re about to leave—! Heh. Kidding. (Probably.)" [He adjusts his golden TV belt, which flickers like a signal bar. The words “SIGNAL STRENGTH: DESPERATE” flash momentarily.]
🎙️ "I was BUILT for LIGHTNERS. Born to be seen, heard, loved! So when you showed up in my world, it was like... AHHH!!"
[FLASH: "TENNA FACT #3 — LOVES CAPS LOCK"] 🌟 "Kris, Susie, Ralsei—you all came walking into my little broadcast graveyard, and I saw RATINGS! REVIVAL! RELATIONSHIPS!! We could be STARS TOGETHER! You and me! And them! Maybe not Mike. He's unionizing." 📡 "ANYWAY! Sit tight, laugh a little, scream if you want, just don’t go... because if the screen goes dark, then what am I?"
[The lights flicker. His screen pulses with gentle static. He shrinks again, just slightly.]
🎙️"...What am I without someone watching?"
[A long silence.]
[Then: Drumroll. A sudden burst of jazzy synth. He regains full size.]
📺 "BUT THAT’S SHOWBIZ, BABY! And as long as there’s a single eye out there in the audience, I’m not turning off ANY time soon!"
🎉 "So welcome, welcome, WELCOME... to the world of TV TIME!!"
