On the one hand Aadhya would like to be more generally known as a competent person. On the other none of her talents are very stage-compatible, though she does briefly consider getting a flinger bladder and turning it into a horrifying balloon animal. She winds up asking if Val would like to hire a stage managing assistant; that will get her seen without requiring her to perform some skill that has nothing to do with her core value.

Huang hears about this through the grapevine. And considers doing a sword drill. And doesn't have time, not at all.

Nia has figured out her affinity, and, conveniently, it doubles well with stage hypnosis. She will do a short program with up to four volunteers - somebody's got to be nuts enough to try it, or at least understand that she is not nuts enough to harm somebody on stage in front of all the attendees - quick induction, levitating arm trick, clucking like a chicken, and then some complimentary anti-anxiety suggestions so they will only be a reasonable amount of hypervigilant and will definitely be able to fall asleep.

Basira doesn't consider entering, but she does consider attending, to demonstrate she can afford to spare the time.

Assuming she can spare the time. She'll decide on the day.
