Nether Gate opened and THIS HAPPENED?!!

Magnificent... Mwahaha...

Eheheh! Thanks!

With my sacrificial offering and your dancing to lead the ritual...

Huh?!

...The gates to the netherworld will be thrown asunder!!!

Wh-What?! You, too, are a servant of the gate?!

Bweheheh... I am indeed. To think I'd meet a fellow fallen one in a place such as this!

Finally it all makes sense! The incessant whispers of the netherworld, They were always guiding me towards this very moment!

Yes! It's as if we were pulled together by the gravity of some dark star of fate...

Then there can be only one course of action, my lady! Allow me to guide you...to the promised land.

Well... That happened.

Uhh... What? Do you know what that was all about, Aldo?

Nope. Don't know, don't care. We're better off this way, trust me.

Ugh, it seems he's drifted off into his own little world again, and with your friend in tow this time. I doubt anyone understands what they're talking about but them...

And you are?

A long-time friend of his. I usually help with the editing and promotion of his channel.

He's got a channel? What genre?

That's a surprisingly tough question... Investigative journalism? Paranormal research? He basically just makes videos about that "netherworld gate" he was just raving about. But considering he recently started a cooking subchannel called "Dining with Demons", our genre's hard to pin down.

Then why in world would he agree to a collab with a dancing channel?

Apparently he needs a dancer for some kind of ritual he read about in a tabloid. Think you could help us out?

Actually, that sounds kinda interesting! I wonder what'll happen when I complete the dance...

Yeah, and I can already tell Suzette's gonna be into it. We're in.

Really?! That's great! Let's see where those two got off to, shall we?

The keys to the netherworld have gathered in this place! The chains will be broken, and a dark emissary will breech the gate to the world of the living! Ohhh, Tutor of the Beyond, heed our call!!!

So, uh, is something supposed to happen now?

Nah, we've done this kind of stuff tons of times and I've never seen anything...

...Huh?

I thought you said nothing ever happens!

...Heheh...MWAHAHAHAHA!!! IT'S HERE!!! I knew the stories were true! The Tutor of the Beyond has finally arrived to enlighten the world of man!!!

E-Eeep!

I think this has gone far enough! Suzette! Tithi!

Awww... It was just getting exciting...

A bit too exciting if you ask me. Let's dance!

We got it...

N-No... My precious demon...

THAT'S what you're worried about?! These people just saved your life!

I'm so sorry about this, everyone...

Don't sweat it! I'm just glad it all turned out okay in the end.

Me, too. I think that's enough recording for one day. Let's head back to the room.

And so, yet again, the gate is sealed...

It was never open, I'm afraid. The will of the nether was simply resonating in response to the reunion of two fallen spirits...

Then this...was only the beginning?

Exactly. The bell will yet toll for this world, We need only bide our time!

Mwahahaha... Excellent...

Feeling better?

Hey... Were you telling the truth when you said that you'd never encountered anything out of the ordinary before today?

It's true. Up until now he's had to end every single video with the line, "The truth is out there..."

I see... Sorry for asking something like this, but...do you actually get views on that kinda content?

Well... Let's just say we put a lot of work into our thumbnails... The way you title and promote things can go a long way. As long as you can bait people into thinking that THIS time you really got something on camera, they can't help but click the link. If I'm being honest the channel had been losing a bit of steam lately, but after today I've got a feeling things are gonna turn around.

Promotion, huh? That's one area we don't have much experience...

Want me to teach you, then? It's a bit of a trade secret, but we owe you guys.

Seriously?! That would be great!

......

Did you hear that, Aldo?! She's gonna teach us how to "bait clicks"!

Huh? Yeah... That's, uh...that's great, Tithi...

(So nothing's ever happened before, and yet today a dangerous monster appeared right on cue. It's way too convenient...)
