Chapter 466:

Finishing up discussion of DSPCMs

En Passant Grandmaster


After a short break, the broadcast of Kisha's show resumed with Mifsud filling in as host until Kisha could return.

"Welcome back. Smoothie Q. Mifsud here filling in for Kisha until she gets a change of clothes. Let's see how many DSPCMs I can list off before she gets back. First up, Azerbaijan!" Mifsud smiled as images of Dinara, Raya, Aydan, Afag, and Aigul appeared on screen. "Hmm? Why's the whole women's team on screen? Because they're all DSPCMs of course! Dinara's the most recent, but Aydan's also the most famous, mainly due to her being both a rockin' leader and icon for women everywhere. Girl deserves every Nobel peace price henceforth!"

The images of the Azerbaijani DSPCMs vanished as the screen then displayed graph with three columns with images of Meisa and Mihn being in one, images of Inez, Silvina, and Fiorella in the middle one, and images of Agneta and Agnes in the final one.

"Now here we got Vietnam', Argentina's, and Sweden's DSPCMs all here. Why like this? Well that's because..."

Mifsud went silent, but continued smiling as she clicked a button on a remote control in her hand. Nothing appeared to happen, but secretly, an electromagnetic signal was sent out.

"... Sorry, I was just told something fun would happen. Moving on."

The images of the various DSPCMS vanished as images of Ayana and two guys named Nodirbek Juraev and Nodirbek Ibragimov, respectively, appeared on screen.

"Nodirbek, Nodirbek, Nodirbek. I'm serious, Uzbekistan's whole men's team is practically all guys named Nodirbek! Might as well call themselves team Nodirbek... I can totally see an all-Nodirbek league becoming a thing."

The images of the Uzbekistani DSPCMs vanished as an image of Arina appeared on screen.

"And I just got breaking news the graceful goddess herself just became bald. That's right, the Åland Islands' only grandmaster and DSPCM is now bald. You heard it here first, folks."

The image of Arina vanished as an image of Solveig appeared on screen.

"Hmm, I didn't know Antarctica even had DSPCMs. Think I even own some real estate there... Ah, moving on."

The image of Solveig vanished as an image of a feminine looking young man named Fran Mizura appeared on screen.

"Oh, this guy's cute. Says his name is Fran Mizura and he's Slovenia's only DSPCM. Hmm, maybe I'll have to splash some cash to have my way with him," Mifsud drooled as she began to blush.

"Uh, you OK?" Kisha asked as she returned.

"Oh, Kisha! Yeah, yeah... Totally fine."

"So what countries you cover?"

"Quite a few."

"Like?"

"You weren't watching your own show on the way back? The scandal!"

"I forgot cuz I'm usually the one doing the show, you know."

Mifsud shrugged and got up, allowing Kisha to reclaim her seat.

"Alright, mommy's back. Now, let's see, just saw Slovenia, and before that there was Azerbaijan, Vietnam, Sweden. Argentina, Åland Islands-"

"Oh, you hear Arina went bald, right?"

"REALLY!? We got the footage!?"

"Yes, and I just received word 8 teams have officially registered for the 6B tournament, with the number expected to grow by the hour."

"Your prediction's on track then. Now let's see, Uzbekistan, Antarctica?"

Mifsud went quiet as Kisha scowled in silence.

"Something wrong?"

"YES! Antarctica's got a load of mystery surrounding it! You hear they got a penguin competing on the men's team!?"

"They do?"

"YES! But I keep hearing rumors about there being some kind of dispute with Antarctica's status or something at WWCF HQ."

"I mean, Antarctica is one whole continent-"

"Not that kind of dispute, they say one of the maestros now lives in Antarctica, but others say it's bogus."

"What maestro do you mean?"

"Well that's... I don't know. I don't see any maestros on any of the other major teams, but I do have a lead on one. Chihuahua Bibliotecario of Mexico!"

Images of Chihuahua and Fernanda appeared on screen.

"We were supposed to have an interview, but I just got word Chihuahua's apparently bald n' loaded onto the bus bound for the 6B venue. Crafty bitch. I've got so many questions like why she's a DSPCM and what's going on with her rating seemingly being over 3000."

"She's participating? I just heard Mexico was participating. I didn't know she herself was. Guess that shifts the betting odds a bit."

The images of Chihuahua and Fernanda vanished as an image of a man in a hat and suit appeared on screen.

"And this is?"

"Cuba's DSPCM, Raúl Casablanca. He is a bit forgettable, but a force to be reckon with at the board. Speaking of Cuba, I think they're one of the few nations here with just a men's team," Kisha stated.

"That's a shame."

"Sucks, but sometimes not enough people are interested and you can't form a team. Oh, that reminds me, Slovenia's also just got a men's team, but given what their leader's like, it's no surprise. But another nation without a women's team is Costa Rica."

The image of Raúl vanished as an image of a man named Štefan Picante appeared on screen.

"I hear this whole team was completely unrated in June, but now they're all international masters. And if you think that's something, just look at the line-up of the team itself!"

Images of Tankman Bekrija, a hunchbacked man named Fred Duras, an old man named Mannie Mandón, and a skeleton that appeared to have pink goo stuck to it, named Jalea Esqueleto, appeared on screen.

"Um, is that a tank?"

"We'll find out soon enough, as the Costa Rican team are scheduled to come on as guests later. Now we've only got a few more nations to go, so let's finish things off before the next break and interview."

The images of the Costa Ricans vanished as an image of Rita appeared on screen.

"And here's Brazil's only DSPCM competing. But the mother of Ayane and Mayane, DSPCM Inori Rodrigues, is helping out much like Henrik is, so shoutouts there."

The image of Rita vanished as images of Nela, Snežana, Šime, and Davor appeared on screen.

"Ah yes, Croatia. Smoothie Q, know anything about your fellow bald woman, Dunja?"

"Dunja? No, but props to her for shaving her head and inking it like a checkerboard. That really takes guts."

"Wonder what spurned her to do it. Topic for another day I guess."

The images of the Croatian DSPCMs vanished as images of a bespectacled girl in a white headscarf named, Niusha Veishi, a bespectacled girl in a red headscarf named, Roshanak Farzenah, a woman with long thick curly brown hair named, Ibtissam Tayfur, a bespectacled girl with short strawberry blonde hair named, Taslima Doumit, and a robot with a speaker-like head named, H4MM-UR4B1 appeared on screen.

"Now these here are the Neo-Babylonian Empire's DSPCMs participating in the tournament. We actually got an interview planned with a member of the Babylonian women's team, so stay tuned for that. Now, onto the final two teams."

The images of the Babylonian DSPCMs vanished as images of Ivelisse and Ivonne appeared on screen.

"Oh, I know one of them," Mifud nodded.

"Yup, and no, milf fans, Ichiko Rojas is NOT a DSPCM. No, this isn't a joke, it's real."

"But at least she's bald. Oh, and so's her manager. You know, the one who hates Malasangre?"

"Izetta. Well, if she want's a victory, Korea currently has no DSPCMs yet, but that will likely change after the tournament. And that means we only got one more full team in regards to DSPCMs! Drumroll please for... LATVIA!"

The images of Ivonne and Ivelisse vanished as images of Santa, Ilze, and Ausma appeared on screen.

"Now here's the perfect time to go on commercial break."

"Why's that?"

Kisha smiled and snapped her fingers, prompting the stagehands to usher in the 5 members of the Latvian women's team plus a 6th girl who had short brown curly hair.

"First off, we celebrate getting through all the SPCMs and DSPCMs on full teams competing in the tournament. And second, the other sponsors want their ads to get in. When we return, we get a weather report and interview with everyone's favorite lesbian meteorologist couple, the Weather Barons, and they've brought the whole gang with them, including a birthday girl. All that and more when we come back!"
