## Start

Now it was Alice's turn; she thought Yurika's coord was really cute, so she picked it up along the way backstage. As she looked at the Heaven's Gate, a nervous rush came over her.

"Ugh... now's not the time for this!" Alice tried to shake it off, before slapping her cheeks to revitalize herself. "I got this!"

She approached the gate and discovered the podium inside. She scans it a bit to see what goes where, before nodding to herself in confirmation. "I'll throw everything into this live, even if it's the only one I do!" Alice proclaimed and placed down her cards.

"Now, ***let's party!***"

## Performance

***After a few moments, the jazzy song starts abruptly: with... scat? Some of the audience were surprised, but Alice continued until the actual singing portion of the song began. She seemed confident and enjoying herself, even if her skills were rather amateur.***

The young leaf colored shared house on 39th Avenue

There songs are born & bursting everyday

Jazz, soul, rock, house residents uploading in any genre

Everyone believed in tomorrow, and you were one of them

Becoming a legend in full force, New standards spreading beyond the sea

You were all wet and cold when you arrived

and the moment I hummed your song

I had a feeling that a new story would begin

***Alice felt very comfortable on the stage, smiling throughout her performance. A faint creamish aura floated around her, with a few specks in the midst, though it's unsure what they'd turn out to be.***

Welcome to Maison Hatsune

The platform sending you to a bright future

If you are a dreamer you are of course welcome

The door is always open

***The song broke into another scat session. Alice kept on dancing, until the time felt right, before reaching out and feeling the sensation as if she was trying to do an appeal, but...***

***Nothing happened.***

***Alice couldn't help but look surprised, as she thought that would be the perfect moment, but released she had to keep going and improvised the section where it would've been and covered it up further with a plastered smile.***

The years of changing and changeless voice, The timeless desire kept in your heart

If you still chase your dreams, you are our family, in [the] house of songs

Welcome to Maison Hatsune

The platform sending you to a bright future

If you are a dreamer you are of course welcome

The door is always beside you

Welcome back to Maison Hatsune

The sweet home of our hearts grew together

I’ve just heard the bell rang now

Who is coming today?

***Alice finished the verse with some tap dancing, a few tiny stars flickering around it after each tap; she finished the song with a final small scat.***

## End

"Thank you, ***everyone***!" Alice thanked them and bowed before leaving for the next auditionee, before finding the nearest wall and putting her head against it.

***"Ugh... why'd the appeal run off on me like that...!"*** Alice grumbled in her native tongue. She wasn't anywhere near crying, more or less just disappointed with herself. She collected herself a bit before returning to the auditionee crowd, still a little out of it.
