Samurai Equine

Trilby's jaw easily falls to the floor. He allows the audience time to cheer before picking up his microphone and composing himself. "Great Gigantic Goose Eggs! Did you see that, fillies and gentlecolts?! Titanium whipped up a masterpiece of art like it was a full-course breakfast! I guess the yoke's on us, because take a gander at that portrait. I've never seen such a wonderful piece in all my days; and I've tried making bacon pancakes in a Trilby-brand hat. ...Which we don't recommend, by the way. Trilby Hatter's quality hats are good for wearing, not for making food. We are not liable for any food-related disasters. But the crowd seems to love Titanium's act, and so do I!" Trilby applauds. Trilby welcomes Anarchylight and Zhabik to the stage with more applause.

Are we limited to fan songs? Because I tend to think of official songs first. I like to think there are a set of songs from the show that ultimately become character songs; as in songs that can be taken out of context to reflect what these characters are all about. I'll tag @Astralshy since I think he'd be better at this than me.

My OC is not competing. He is just judging and commentating. But he is available for an intermission show, if necessary. And yes, I do have one planned, just in case.

Trilby snickers, trying hard to hold back some laughter. "Hey, save it for the show, you two! You're getting me all buttered up... Oh! Buttered up! A croissant! That's... Eh, nevermind. Not my show. Good luck, you two!" Trilby waves as he passes. He gives Croissanto one last look to make sure he's really a puppet, but shrugs it off for now. Trilby leans over, eavesdropping on this conversation. "Woo brother, was that your introduction or your act? Err... I mean, thank you for traveling all this way to our little slice of reality. Hope you enjoy your stay, and good luck~!" Nice save, Trilby. Trilby overhears this conversation too. "I could really go for some Commedia Del Taco right about now... Well, good luck to you!" Trilby waves as he passes. "Songbird Serenade? Well no wonder I'm familiar with it. She's the same pony that sang about swinging from chandeliers because she drank too much cider. How does she see through that mane? ... Oh, well, I must be going. Lots of official business to tend to. Good luck!" Trilby waves as he passes. Trilby rejoins Dynamo and holds up his own microphone. "And remember, this Goof Off is sponsored by Trilby Hatter's Headwear Emporium! No matter the season or the occasion, there's a hat for that. And you can find the perfect one at Trilby's. Again, that's Trilby Hatter's Headwear Emporium. Ask about our custom hat commissions. And now, back to the show!" "AH!" In a split second reaction, Trilby shuffles his hat away, replacing it with an umbrella hat. He opens it up just in time to make sure it protects him from any falling pieces of cake. "Phew~ Was not about to let THAT ruin one of my good hats." Trilby says to himself as he sighs with relief. Trilby makes sure his mic is clean as he gets closer to Pinkie. "What a surprise! The famous Pinkie Pie, element of laughter and co-savior of Equestria many times over. Pinkie, will you be here to judge this competition with me and Dynamo? Not going to lie, we have quite a large number of participants tonight, and so the competition seems rather steep. I've all ready seen how promising they are before the show began. This Goof Off is gonna be gooooooooood." Trilby says, excited and looking for more of Pinkie's insight. Trilby is at first left speechless. But then he has to put his mic away and turn his head so that he can laugh his heart out. He even has to lean against @Dynamo Pad just to keep from falling over. But eventually, he puts on his good hat again, waits for the audience to have their reaction, and then begins speaking. "Well I think I can speak for everypony when I say, that was a FANTASTICALLY hilarious way to open the Goof Off. I don't know what it is about Shiny and her talking croissant friend, but I haven't laughed this much since I saw a comedian wearing a Trilby's brand rainbow wig. ...That's right, Trilby Hatter's Headwear Emporium also sells a line of wigs, the perfect reveal to go with our hats. But don't take my word alone. Dynamo, Pinkie, what were your thoughts on the first act?"
