After these messages

In a makeshift studio in the Triple Cedar hotel, Kisha prepared to begin her morning show. "I seriously can't wear a wig, makeup?" she groaned. 

"Makeup's fine unless it's drawn-on eyebrows or fake lashes. Contract says you gotta showcase your bald state for the entire duration of this tournament," the producer grumbled. 

"Fuuuck." 

Getting the prompt for the countdown, Kisha forced a smile before going on air."Good morning, everybody! Kisha Shinbun here! Bald, browless... lashless... Look, I hate it too, but contracts want me bald. Anyway, as we wait for the start of round 1, we've prepared some video featurettes of all the teams and their members. We'll be going through them one by one, so hope you enjoy."

"Who's up first?" a stagehand called out.

"I'll answer that... after these messages..."
