Chapter 127 The night life on the blue star
Even though she signed out, Rodney kept the live broad cast going, to show the beautiful interactions between Scarlet and the citizens of the blue star. Her live broad cast had been to short, he wanted it to last for at least three hours. As long as she was visible before the cameras it did not matter if she said a single word. To his relief, she had no problem with it, she smiled and waved at the camera as it captured all they were up to.
Scarlet and some women fried more shrimp and it was carried off to be distributed along with the simple dinner which consisted of rice and beans which came from her storage space.
[what are they eating?]
[I know the white stuff is rice but what is the brown stuff?]
[Is that a type of meat?]
[Do people on the blue star always eat together like this?]
Since she was not personally interacting with the viewers their questions went unanswered. Rodney finally got his other assistant to ask questions from behind the camera and the citizens that were not shy answered the questions of the viewers.
People were sitting around the carefully arranged bon fire areas, eating dinner and engaged in conversations. The large outdoor screen was showing a movie that some people were watching.
[Is this what they do every night? It looks boring to me.]
[They live like uncivilized people, was this how our ancestors truly lived?]
[It looks like fun, most of the bon fires here in the capital are virtual fires. There is no space for what they are doing?]
"Do you enjoy being outdoor like this?" Rodney asked a random teenage boy.
"Yes," he answered while looking into the camera. "I have never slept outdoors in a tent before. I have also never seen stars so clear like this, the governor is right, flying cars block the view of the sky.
"Do you prefer life here or the capital?"
"It's hard not to miss capital, I lived there with my family for so many years. I miss the night life over there and my friends. We don't even have gaming cabins over here but our new life here is also good. We are taught classes by general Esong and the seventh prince so that's pretty cool. We also play football and watch movies I have never seen before. The food is amazing, I love it here."
[Wow, so the mecha king has become a teacher, i envy you so much.]
[This is not fair we also want our children to learn from the mecha king.]
[Does this mean that children educated on the blue star have higher chances of becoming mecha warriors?]
[Their should be a law against this, it's so unfair.]
[The prince?of death is also a teacher, I am confused about so many things right now.]
The boy's revelations were quickly shared on star net, more people poured into the broad cast.
"Sixty seven million viewers." Rodney's assistant told him.
Rodney raised his fist high, silently jubilating.
The camera moved back to Scarlet who was carrying a child in her arms that was not Justin because she was obviously a little girl. She said something to the girl and both of them laughed. Then she sat her down on a table and started combing hair which she separated into two pony tails and tied with colorful ribbons.
[Scarlet is so gentle, look at her with the little girl.]
The little girl Scarlet was carrying was none other than Sia, who was still the youngest child on the blue star. Because of her age and Scarlet's provision of all sorts of little dresses and shoes for her, Sia was the most adorable girl on their planet. Everyone knew that she was loved a lot by the governor.?Sia's mother was envied by many women for this. Secretly one or two women that were currently pregnant were hoping to give birth to cute female children.
"Mother, sing for us a song." Scarlet was suddenly surrounded by little kids, Justin was their ring leader.
"No, your teacher sings better than me, go and look for her."
"Mother mother, mother," Justin jumped around her in a circle "sing for us, "please.
"One song." she told them.
"Yey." the kids clapped and they scrambled around to find seats.
While she got her guitar Rodney rearranged the cameras to make sure that they could capture Scarlet and her audience of listeners. He wanted to capture their reactions if she was terrible. It would be comedy gold, if she was good, it would be amazing then. He could convince her to sing once in a while, entertainment like that was good for bringing in viewers.
"The wheels on the bus go round and round....." Scarlet started singing.?It was an easy song for the children to learn and soon they were singing along. It was amusing when she was adults singing along too.?Scarlet of course made it funny by adding actions on some parts like 'the babies on the bus' crying part and the 'mothers on the bus go shh.'
Sitting somewhere close to the large screen, Esong and his friends were quite interested in this singing activity. He for one however was wearing a scowl because every time she sung, she attracted unnecessary admirers. More than one boy in his combat class was using her picture as an image saver on their terminals.?He was sure that their would be tomorrow because she had this glow about her when she sung, it was if her voice enchanted all those who heard it.
"She would make a killing as a singer." The seventh commented. "She has the voice and she plays an instrument."
"Someone has attached a microphone and speakers close to her, now she sounds like she singing at a concert." Folsom commented.
"That tv guy Rodney is live broadcasting it, in a way it is concert, a kids concert." Ian said. "You are right though Folsom, she is good. Esong's wife is good at a lot of things."
"If she was not married to him already baron Su would be drowning in matchmaking invitations." Folsom said and he chuckled.
"My Carolyn must be a great singer too, they are sisters after all." the seventh commented.
More than one person looked at him and they shook their heads or chortled in wonder and amazement. As for Scarlet, she concluded her song and the kids dispersed, off to run around and play before they could be called away for bed time because it was a school night.
"Sing another song." Rodney said. He was standing close to her but behind the camera. "The viewers are requesting, someone has even sent thirty space ships, twenty golden castles, three palaces."
"Okay," She knew many songs from earth, off the top of her head, she picked one of the easiest and most memorable to her.
Playing the guitar slowly, she opened her mouth and sung, "Did I disappoint you, or let you down..." Under the night sky, with the glow being emitted from the bon fires, she had no idea how enchanting she looked with her eyes as she sung the slow song. The large screen which had been showing a movie had switched to the live broad cast and Esong could see her so clearly and for the first time in a long while, he took a sip of alcohol from the Folsom's can which came from the supermarket.
His hearing was quite good and he could hear the lyrics of the song so clearly, he wondered if she was singing for him or to him??It had to be, he thought, his were the only lips she had kissed and his bed the only one she shared. Why was she singing about saying goodbye?
"Hey, are you drinking?" Folsom said in shock.
"I am turning in for the night." He walked away stiffly.
