[07:45] *** Now talking in #suburbansenshi
[07:45] *** Topic is - This arc is going to go some funny and some controversial places. SubSen has always tried to mix in a bit of real life into the comedy-fantasy of the SS universe, and the Haruka-Michiru wedding is no exception. (And yes, this was planned way back when the idea was first thought of two years ago) -

[07:46] *** IRC NEWS DISPATCH FROM GINGA TV FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TO AFFILIATES
[07:46] * [gTV]Karasuma_Akane checks her mic
[07:46] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> Testing, one two? One two?
[07:47] <
[gTV]Aya_Reiko> Sound check clear!! We're recording!
[07:47] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> Good
[07:48] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> This is Karasuma Akane for Ginga Nightly News, coming to you from Satan City, deep in the palatial mansion of World Champion Mr. Satan, the hero known to the entire planet as the man who defeated the evil Cell in the "Cell Games" more than 10 years ago.
[07:48] <
Mr. Satan> HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[07:52] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> We're here today discussing the largest buzz in the celebrity world right now, the upcoming marriage of Japan's pride and joy, famed international racing star Ten'ou Haruka and concert violinist Michiru Kaioh.
[07:53] <
Mr. Satan> I was so surprised when I found out they were hooking up!
[07:53] <
Mr. Satan> I mean I remember finding out a few years ago Haruka-san was a WOMAN. That nearly blew my mind!
[07:54] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> Ten'ou Haruka has spent the bulk of her racing career doing little to reveal her true gender, on the premise that gender shouldn't matter in sports. When she did reveal her gender to the world, there was a huge outcry in the racing world, and she lost many fans.
[07:55] <
Mr. Satan> (Wasn't that because the way she revealed her gender was by getting stone drunk at a victory party and dancing a strip lambada with her blue-haired crew chief from Capsule Corp?
[07:56] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> Bulma Briefs was not pleased. I think Haruka-san lost 5 teeth that day as well as her corporate sponsor.
[07:56] <
Mr. Satan> Well I've remained a fan of Haruka-san no matter what. Did you know she still sends me letters asking for autographs?
[07:57] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> I did. that's why we've started this interview series with you.
[07:58] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> Japan is a very conservative nation. Despite the yuri and shounen ai you might see in manga or anime, the typical person on the street still isn't comfortable with the idea of same-gender relations, let alone marriages.
[07:58] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> That's one reason why the marriage is taking place in Toronto, Ontario.
[07:58] <
Mr. Satan> I think it's sad that they have to leave their home country just to declare their love
[07:58] <
Mr. Satan> They should be able to declare their love whereever and whenever they want to
[07:59] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> So you'll be supporting their marriage?
[07:59] <
Mr. Satan> Of course! Two women, together, expressing their deepest feelings to each other-- it should be praised and publicized!
[08:00] <
Mr. Satan> Mr. Satan has no room in his heart for those cold people who can't see past artificial social constructions!
[08:00] * Mr. Satan gets up and points to the camera
[08:00] <
Mr. Satan> LISTEN UP YOU CLOSED-MINDED PEOPLE!
[08:01] <
Mr. Satan> HEAR THE WORDS OF MR. SATAN, SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD!
[08:01] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> o_O
[08:01] * [gTV]Aya_Reiko CLAPS!!
[08:01] <
Mr. Satan> HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
[08:04] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> Well Haruka-san, Michiru-san, looks like you have at least one high-profile ally in all this~
[08:05] <
[gTV]Karasuma_Akane> This is Karasuma Akane, for Ginga TV, signing off.
