Nix's Party's P.O.V.:

I was absent mindedly scrolling through StarNet when I was suddenly jostled in my seat; when, an alluring, posh and aloof pink hair male omega, for lack of a better word, flopped into the seat he is now occupying.

I quickly watched what happened using Solaris, and I just smirked, flashing my dimple, looked him in the eye and without saying a single word, nodded my head in acknowledgement and greeting. I did not miss the burst of emotion that flashed through his eyes before he hid it.

I am almost completely certain that they are already filming, but I my gut also says that they are streaming this live already. I knew certain parts would be, but I did not fully anticipate them streaming this part yet, at least. I thought they would at least wait until we got all the introductions as well as instructions finished before going live.

-Nix: - (said through their mind link) … ( ¬ _ ¬ ;) … - Hey, check and see if the cameras are already on and running. If they are then check to see if they are already broadcasting this live. My gut is telling me they are.'

-Solaris: - … ٩(•̤̀ᵕ•̤́๑)ᵒᵏᵎᵎᵎᵎ … - 'Yes, Mama… I checked and they are indeed not just recording already but a couple of them are live broadcasting. You are currently on one of them.'

-Nix: - … <(￣︶￣)> … - 'I thought so. I also bet there is a good number of viewers already as this show has been very highly anticipated and in the original timeline the live streams always had the highest viewership of any variety show currently airing in the whole empire.'

-Solaris: - … (｡◝‿◜｡) … - 'You are indeed correct again Mama! You are so smart but though that may be, please be careful and stay alert.'

- Nix: - … (^_<)〜☆ … - 'I know, and I will…'

Our internal conversation was cut off when pink hair omega called out to me with a slightly raised voice. My conjecture is that he wants to make sure the cameras are picking him up. This will be interesting. Let's just see what this gentleman has to say.

-Pink Hair Male Omega: ヽ(*゜∀゜*)ノ - "Geeze I am such a klutzy airhead sometimes. Tehehehe. I am such SO sorry… Oh, my, gorgeous where have you been all my life? YOU MUST LET ME USE YOUR BODY"

- Nix: - … (o_O) ! … - "Umm, a… I beg your pardon. Would you mind explaining what you mean by that so that there is no misunderstandings?" I said full well knowing this could go badly, so best to proceed with caution.

-Pink Hair Male Omega: - … (.≖ˇ∀ˇ≖.) !!! … - "Oh, shoot that probably came off the wrong way, didn't it? Well, let me go ahead and apologize and explain. I am an artist, and I use the human body as my canvas because there is nothing better than living art. Also, the human body is so beautiful and complex, and everyone is different and tells the story of that person. I did not mean to come off as forward or anything it is just…"

- Nix: - (I made sure to school my facial features and I showed a gentle and encouraging smile while also maintaining a sense of appreciation and not fully lowering my guard and still a bit confused.)

… ≖‿≖ … – "Ah, I see, but ummm, what does that have to do with my body exactly?"

-Pink Hair Male Omega: - … ̑̑ෆ(⸝⸝⸝◉⸝ ｡ ⸝◉⸝⸝⸝) … - "Well, you see with the color and texture of your smooth and flawless skin paired with your stunning lighter color that falls in the neutral range and your, from what I can see, a stunning physique makes you top tier ideal for me to work with and on. It is even better if that beautiful skin is like that, whole body and if you are ripped like your silhouette implies then you are seriously S grade medium."

- Nix: - … (.❛ ᴗ ❛.) … - "… I see. Well, that sounds interesting, what is your name or stage name so that I can look up your work. I focus so much on my work and university work that I have essentially been living under a rock, so I mean no disrespect to you if you are someone famous. I promise I am sincerely just ignorant."

-Pink Hair Male Omega: - … .♡*:・– ̗̀ ( ꈍДꈍ ) ̖́ –・:*♡. … - "Darn it you are just too cute! (he pinched my cheeks while saying this) No offense taken as I completely understand. I am also not that famous or well-known so thing nothing of it." He said in a casual and an almost aloof tone while smiling all the way into the eyes. The three lines that formed at the corner of his eyes softened his unapproachable aura he gives off.

'If he is not very famous or well known then no one is! He is one of the empire's most elite artists and his work goes for more than six digits! People pay him a ton of money just to be one of his living canvases and sometimes the work done is permanent, similar to a tattoo. Maybe I should take him up on his offer, it would definitely help me get a lot more exposure and help me grow my fan base. His work is stunning so I wonder what he would create using me. Oh, now this gives me some ideas!' I thought to myself as soon as he said that. I just smiled through his reply and nodded my head here and there to indicate that I was still actively listening.

- Nix: - … ೕ(•̀ᴗ•́) … - "Oh, well if that is the case then I would like to extend my offer to help you. I may not know you or who you are, but I do understand what it is like to try a breakout as an artist. Because of this I do not mind being a canvas for you, on the condition that it does not cross my moral line, nor my bottom line. I am conservative when it comes to showing my body.

-Pink Hair Male Omega: - … \(^ヮ^)/ … - "Super Nova! My mind is already racing with the possibilities! Oh, I cannot wait for this! It will be my best masterpiece yet; I just know it! The Empire will love you for sure, jus' you wait my dear."

'His theatrics are funny. He truly has mastered how to be just dramatic and obnoxious enough to grab everyone's attention, but he also has the talents to back up his arrogance. Well, I guess it is to be expected, given who he is and his status in The Empire. He has every right to be arrogant and I get the feeling there is far more to him than the public sees and that's without me even doing a deep background check on him using Solaris. I will just take it easy and see how this goes. Afterall, I have to be very careful, or I will be destroyed before I can even have my debut. 'I thought to myself as I made sure to put on the perfect performance of a warm hearted, naive, green hat omega, who genuinely didn't know who the person asking him to be his canvas it. All anyone can infer from my performance is that I have a big heart and who appears down to the planet or moon he is from.

-Nix: - … （＾ｖ＾） … - "No, it is no trouble, and you do not have to humble yourself to me. I am happy to help out another person if I am able and this seems a small favor. If you are free too, we can meet up some time to discuss it in further detail at a later time and place if that is okay with you? A café or a perhaps even a park, are the flowers currently in bloom making it serine and relaxing? If that isn't your vibe, we can also rent a private meeting room from the library on grounds or even see we could use or rent one of the many private business rooms they must have on hand. I am pretty flexible and do my best to just roll with things, so I try not to be too picky. Oh, but I do not mean anything by that if you are a picky person I just meant… Shoot, I am sorry sir. My attention deficit disorder, A.D.D./ADD, just got the best of me again. Also, what is your name again, or did you not state it yet? Why am I so stupid?" – maintain my naive, soft and big hearted, genuine and slightly air headed junior persona and facial features. Though most of it came naturally.

-Pink Hair Male Omega: - … (ಡ艸ಡ) … - "Hahahaha, I am sorry for laughing it is just that you are too adorable truly. You are fine my dear, let us exchange communicator deetz (contact information), and we will definitely set something up. I look forward to working with you and also getting to know you better. Before I forget as well, my name is Aaron Van Scrimsher IV."

-Nix: - … ₍꒢ ̣̮꒢₎ … bowed in greeting - "Nice to meet you Aaron Van Scrimsher IV, my names is Beyol Bong Tae-Hwan, but I go by Phoenix, so please call me Phoenix. If you do not mind me asking how old are you? My family still honors the old way of our family's traditions dating back to Korea on Earth. I am just checking so I make sure to use the correct horrific for you."

-Aaron Van Scrimsher IV: - … ヾ(＠^∇^＠)ノ … - "Oh, how delightful, well if that is the case, I am 23 this year, how old are you?"

-Nix: - … (*＾＾*) … - "I am younger than you, only 21, so I will call you Aaron-ssi then. Well, if that is alright with you. It just means Mr./Sir. Aaron, since you said to call you Aaron instead of Mr./Sir, Schrimsher.

-Solaris: - … ಠωಠ … - 'And here I thought it was shameless when people shave off more then five years from their age…'

-Nix: - … (ভ_ ভ) … right eye twitching – '…' (I'll make sure to get him back for this one!)

-Aaron Van Scrimsher IV: - … (ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ)♡ … -"Aaron-ssi is fine for now. I hope that we can become well acquainted and possibly even friends in the future." He said with a sincere, big and warm smile, that made his eyes crinkle and sparkle.

-Nix: - "Yes, that sounds lovely."

We continue to talk for a bit totaling about 6-7 minutes as other celebrities arrived and took their seats around us. I already feel comfortable speaking with Aaron-ssi, and I foresee a close knit and deep friendship developing quickly. His aloof, flamboyant, sassy, prideful and overall diva like attitude is just the front he puts on because in reality he is introverted, shy and has social anxiety due to him struggling with social cues. If I did not have Solaris I would never have know unless he let me in his circle and that is nearly impossible, partly due to the number of people who try to get close to him simply for benefits.

I saw lots of well-established celebrities, as well as some that looked like they were newcomers or are currently up and coming. There was several, models, actors and actresses along with music idols and artist. This is going to be interesting and is different than the original timeline… 'It's strange... don't cha think Solaris?' I asked but did not receive a reply, perhaps Solaris thought it was a rhetorical question.

'I guess this section was meant to be reserved for them but then why was my seat assigned here? After all this is where Yu Ning Nuna gestured for me to sit. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact, they are trying to discretely treat me as a celebrity simply because of my secondary status. I know they are aware of it after all the did arrange for Bai Yu Ning Nuna to stay by myside as my assistant slash bodyguard. Hmm, well at least it will help stir up more screen time allowing me to gain more fans. This is good I can definitely use this to my advantage.' I thought to myself.

Finally, a woman stepped up to the raised platform that held the podium at the front of the room and waited for us to calm down before she elegantly strode up to the podium and adjusted the microphone.

A/N: Sorry my lovely little dragon-phoenixes, for all the kaomojis, I added them as my Momma loves them and it helps her to better understand and better picture things, and since I started publishing this novel for her, I thought it was the least I could do. I hope you all can understand and that they won't detract from your reading experience too much.
