"Now, for something different." Senka says and waves towards the screen only she can see. "While I may not condone this, it is such a day after all." Her expression is a strained smile, tearing at the stitches that hold her cheeks together. Since the material used for them was something flexible, they are not doing a very good job at it. "... in other words, this is shameless promotion for a spinoff starring yours truly."

Sitting on her bed in the darkness of the otherwise empty dorm room at the Royal Academy, the doll-like girl has free reign over the time whenever the others are not around. On this day it may be because they encountered something that is furthering the plot, but to her it is all the same.

"Free reign, you say, but it's you who controls my every move." With a sigh, she stands up and begins to pace through the room in an almost mechanical-looking manner. It is one of her hobbies, to actually act like a living doll from time to time, even when there is nobody to see it. The cause may be her inability to grow up both physically and mentally. "Hey, you created my setting and I'm an avatar of you, so it's you who can't grow up!"

She is staring at the invisible screen with an annoyed look, but there is no answer. In all the years, she never received a direct answer, although she will most likely never stop trying. But unlike a certain anti-hero clad in red, there is not second or third voice that only she can hear in her life. Her thoughts are her own and she walks alone.

"You call this being alone?" She is sulking. "I never have any alone time... even during my most intimate moments, you're there!" With a sigh, she stops her pacing and flops onto the bed, her body slackening and turning into a doll again. "... but I guess whenever you don't write about me, you're not watching me... that may count..."

Remembering what this whole thing is about, she suddenly sits up again, and looks at the screen and those sitting on the other side of it. Her expression is strained, but for a promotion, it is a necessary evil. She usually does not smile from the bottom of her heart, unless it is towards someone who has touched upon it. Few have done so over the years, although A Certain Shape-shifting Cosmic Horror© has succeeded in it. Her face suddenly grows red.

"... that's because you're saying such embarrassing things..." She mutters and looks away. "And what's with that title? It sounds so much better than the one you have for it now!" Her criticism goes unnoticed. "As always... You don't even listen to yourself, how do you ever intend to become successful?" Cynical as always, but to no avail.

"In either case, this is a promotion for a spinoff featuring little ol' me. The setting is going to be... apparently no idea what it's going to be like." Senka shakes her head in exasperation. "As for the name... same as for the setting. Although it could be something like 'A Certain Cursed Doll's Misadventures Through The Multiverse©'..." She scratches her head and thinks about it one more time. "Could it be that your creativity has run dry? That's a really lame title, even if it does represent what the story is going to be about. And it's not copyrighted yet... or is it?"

Her mind wanders for a moment as she looks beyond the screen that always keeps the perfect distance to her to get the right shot of her facial expressions or body language. Her eyes are fixed on a particular spot and then realization hits her.

"Um, are you going to introduce a sidekick for me?" She asks, saying it as if she does not have all the markings of one herself. "Oi, don't joke around! If the spinoff is about me, I can't be the sidekick!" There have been stories where a character is seemingly introduced as the protagonist, but then falls into obscurity for comedic effect. "Hey hey, don't you dare do that to me!" Thus, if the situation calls for it, the same may happen to Senka, even if it is her own story. "Don't mess with me you shitty human!"

- Please wait a moment -

"... third time's the charm, am I right everyone?" Senka wears an innocent and cute smile that stands in stark contrast with her appearance. Her eyes are overly starry and seem to reflect the galaxy itself within their dark blue irises. "So, this is a promotion for the new spinoff of Maou Shoujo Makoto Chaos, starring me, Ootsuki Senka, as the heroine." She tilts her head and the sound it makes is like a badly oiled, rusty door hinge, as her smile becomes even more radiant. "While the setting isn't set in stone yet, it will most likely be about me dimension-hopping, traveling through time and space, and experiencing many strange adventures in unknown worlds. Since time has no meaning for me, I can do that at the same time, or before as well as after participating in Maou Shoujo Makoto Chaos. Of course, it will have no impact on the main story whatsoever."

Her body suddenly goes limp and she falls back onto the bed. A moment later she begins to tremble and her teeth begin to grind in building anger. Sitting back up in an unnatural motion, as if she is drawn on strings, Senka's expression is filled with rage. Her eyes are fixed on someone behind the screen only she is able to see, and tears begin to form in their corners.

"... this humiliation... you... for making me do this... I'll... I'll kill you... I'LL FUC-"

The spinoff, tentatively titled "A Certain Cursed Doll's Misadventures Through The Multiverse©" is coming to your online reader soon™.

"You can't trademark the word 'soon'..."
