#GirlOnFireberd

Welcome back to the show. It’s been a busy week as usual. There are a lot of exciting things happening within T.O.O.N., ignoring all the missed releases. That’s right, I’m calling them out! Sorry, please don’t fire me! Anyway, tonight’s theme is Fireberd Requiem. Are you ready? No? Well…get ready then!

My guest tonight is the stunning girlfriend of the captain of the Fireberd Fleet. She’s an amazing cook and perhaps the best tenor saxophone player in the universe. She’s overall popular, unlike the star hero. Please welcome to the show Lydia!
Vibravo: Welcome to the show, Lydia. My, you look beautiful today!
Lydia: Thank you, Vibravo. I’m super stoked to be here!
Vibravo: You’re one of the more popular allies in the T.O.O.N. Universe. Although Torture Droid is often considered more popular, you’re pretty well up there.
Lydia: Well thank you. I think Torture Droid is an amazing character. Did you know that he’s actually appeared in more episodes than Eric.
Vibravo: Yeah, I know, right? It’s so weird.
Lydia: Torture Droid’s great. I love him!
Vibravo: Speaking of love, you and Eric are a thing now. That must be exciting!
Lydia: I think it’s cute how we are doing things together now. Like, he’s willing to play Smash Bros. with me. Now I don’t have to play with random people online anymore.
Vibravo: I take it that you’re an avid Smash player?
Lydia: I love that game. It’s nice to play with Eric.
Vibravo: Are your mains still Rosalina and Zelda?
Lydia: I don’t play much Zelda anymore. I picked up Greninja, and I think he’s really good. Rosalina is still my go-to main. Although I think my second best is probably Yoshi. He’s a cute dinosaur.
Vibravo: Does Eric like those characters?
Lydia: He plays Meta Knight, that’s probably his best character. He also plays Charizard. Personally, I think he’s really good at Mr. Game & Watch.
Vibravo: Why do you say that?
Lydia: I dunno. He actually practices Smash quite a bit. He’s determined to beat me overall. Meta Knight is still a tough character to play against, and he’s beaten me a few times, but not enough for his liking.
Vibravo: I remember the last time you appeared, you told me how you two play for bed domination. Is that…still true?
Lydia: More or less. I think he’s gotten use to the fact that I’m gonna win the match, so we mostly play for fun now.
Vibravo: Why play then? I mean, if you’re gonna win the match and…bed domination, why bother competing?
Lydia: It’s fun. I like making him work. It’s hot…
Vibravo: Sure, I suppose.
Lydia: You don’t understand what it’s like to be with a gamer girl, because your girlfriend is all about news and social life and everything NOT gaming.
Vibravo: In my defense, I’ve tried to persuade Yaleia to play with me. She doesn’t like games.
Lydia: That’s a pity. You should try harder. Maybe buy her a 3DS or something.
Vibravo: She already owns one. She doesn’t use it too much.
Lydia: I guess.
Vibravo: Let’s talk about Fireberd Requiem for a bit. You’re basically an admin aboard the Fireberd Fleet, wouldn’t you say so?
Lydia: Hmm…I’m not quite sure I would agree with you there. I mean, Eric likes me an all, but I’m not really high enough to make any decisions within the Fireberd Fleet.
Vibravo: You don’t think so?
Lydia: I’m just a girl who has sex with the captain. I’m basically his bitch, to put it straightforward. Torture Droid and the Arrow Droids hold more power than me.
Vibravo: Well, I wouldn’t call you a “bitch”. That’s a little harsh.
Lydia: You know what I mean.
Vibravo: Fair enough. I guess then the final question I have what you and Eric plan to do regarding The Order of Nightmare. Are you still going to help them? I understand that in Fireberd Requiem: Season 7, Eric’s main objective seems to be hunting down Crystal’s robots.
Lydia: I think you should wait for The Order of Nightmare: Wanted. I hear a lot of strong core members will be introduced, and it will really test the strengths of the main superpowers.
Vibravo: Superpowers?
Lydia: I’ve said too much. Eric’s gonna kill me if I spoil any more stuff.
Vibravo: I understand. Well, Lydia. I think we’re nearing the end of our interview. Is there anything else you’d like to say before we finish up?
Lydia: Actually, I had a question for you.
Vibravo: Sure, what is it?
Lydia: Who do you main in Smash Wii U? Is it still R.O.B. and Greninja?
Vibravo: Yep. I still main them. I’m trying to learn Mario, because that’s who Yaleia plays. So, I figured I’d learn him and teach her how to use him.
Lydia: Aww, how cute!
Vibravo: Sure. Well, Lydia. It was a pleasure interviewing you. I look forward to seeing you again! Take care.
Lydia: See ya, Vibravo!

Up next on the show, we have a rap song for you. This time it’ll be a tag-team. Lustrous and Luminous from The Order of Nightmare have kindly accepted my invitation to do a rap battle with them. But I can’t do this alone, so I’m gonna have Yaleia help me out with this one. Hopefully it won’t end too terribly…for me.

Lustrous: Well, how ironic.
You two are trying be iconic.
Cluttering the network with your episodes isn’t a tonic
To your state of being laconic
Luminous: It’s sad that as far as series go
ORN and Life as a Princess are the lowest of the low
You two will never be on top when you’ve got problems of all kinds
We don’t report on news, we make the headlines

Vibravo: It’s over eons. You’re no longer number one.
It’s all about the episodes. Long stories are done.
Let the heroes do the work while you two bask in the glory
That doesn’t really make for an interesting story…
Yaleia: In Other News, I’ve reached the top
Cast your embargoes, I still won’t stop
With Vibravo soon to be in second, what’s left for you?
It’ll be hard saving the world with just you two…

Lustrous: Wow, you rock Yaleia. Congrats that you’re number one!
And Vibravo’s in second? Wow, we thought he was done.
Where do you get your stats? May we have a source?
Perhaps you should shut up and get off your high horse
Luminous: Vibravo, you’ve got a lot of segments on your show
Trying to get your guests to spill all the information they know
We’re calling you out on your persistence, bro
Wait until the releases like the rest of us, Vibravo.

Vibravo: That’s a lot of trash coming from the leaders
Giving us teasers like a couple of birdfeeders
I’ve asked you again and again if you would induct me
But you’d rather hire criminals and whores. Yeah, I see…
Yaleia: Your tactics of fighting are a bit unorthodox
Appealing to No-name and Eric and sucking their cocks
Don’t be mad at us just because we rack in the views
Maybe you’ll learn after some more terrible reviews.

Lustrous: That’s cool, Vibravo. You’re such a cool guy.
Maybe in your next “Series Analysis” you’ll ask why
No one on your show wants to give you story plots
Because they don’t like you…are you having second thoughts?
Luminous: Your “Hero of the Week” segments are too long and wordy
Perhaps it’s a sign that you’re becoming too nerdy
And what’s with the same format you two? Three segments each?
You know, doing your own work is certainly not out of your reach
Lustrous: I’ve got a question for the “Ask Vibravo” part
What’s it like to lose from the very start?
Luminous: We’re grateful for you two, and but you don’t know your cues
Perhaps this will be a good story for your “In T.O.O.N. News”…

Vibravo: It’s not like I sit at home and type all day
I get down to business when Yaleia comes to stay
I’ve hosted a roast, and roast these hosts
Cheers to the popular series. I propose a toast
Yaleia: Look, there’s a huge storm coming. Must be windy
I haven’t had respect for you guys since you lost to Mindy
And don’t even get me started on Archive
That was the worst thing since Corona Core Live
Vibravo: Instead of hounding our asses for not being unique
Why don’t you save your deputies? You’re on a losing streak
Yaleia: You can beat up the villains, and even stop ones like Klader
But you’ll never be a princess like me! See you later!

And that was that! Lustrous and Luminous threw out some surprising blows, but we retaliated accordingly. It’s all good. We all had fun!

And finally, for our “Ally of the Week”, we look at Lydia. She’s lackluster in terms of uniqueness. She’s a great character, but she’s the least interesting to play, at least in terms of Fireberd Requiem characters.
If we’re going to be perfectly honest, Lydia is probably the easiest Fireberd character to learn and master. She has a stronger base attack than Eric, and she’s faster than him. She’s made to be a rush-down, pressure character. She’s strong. And she’s got a pretty cute body, if I do say so myself. Eric is lucky, but that’s not really what this segment is about, is it?
Lydia got two new Special Abilities, and they’re actually pretty…meh. The first one is called Tenor Solo. Basically, she plays a catchy rift and powers herself up. You can play three different variations to increase either her speed, defense, or attack. You can only do one at a time, and you cannot use this again until the effects wear off, which is about 15 seconds or so. But that’s long enough for her to optimize herself and destroy her opponents, or shrug off attacks, or just follow up with speed. The other Special Ability is called Chef’s Pick. You latch onto an opponent and basically drain their health, while healing yours. It’s a nice ability. Unfortunately, the range on this move is awful and if you miss, you’re guaranteed to be punished. In fact, this is only effective against one character: Eric. That’s right, while you don’t deal extra damage, you do gain a significant amount of health when used on him. Don’t ask why that’s a thing, it just is.
Unfortunately, that’s as far as she goes as far as effectiveness. Lydia does not have the range that Eric and Torture Droid and the Arrow Droids have. She’s forced into a more close-combat style. Her defense stat is acceptable, but not great. She’s kinda light too, unlike the robots. At least she’s good in Team Battles. That’s a plus. And I like her Mega Ability. It’s a long-range projectile that goes through opponents, meaning you have the potential to strike everyone. And she does a cute dance too…but don’t tell Yaleia I said that.
Special Ability I: Tenor Solo
Special Ability II: Chef’s Pick
Mega Ability: Kiss the Cook

And that concludes our episode. Tune in next week for another exciting episode of ORN. It’ll be a blast! Vibravo signing out!
