It was a rather dreary day- well almost every day was. But one person stood out against the dull and ordinary monotony.
This person was not Parides, but her attention was definitely caught by this rainbow colored bean who was dressed in the most gaudy outfit she had ever seen in her life. And she was so busy staring at him, that her shoe caught and found herself on the ground. By the time she had picked herself back up and regained her orientation she realized that the bean she had been watching was right there next to her.
Covered in grime she was half afraid that they would ask why she tripped. “Are you alright?” they asked instead, which was a much more reasonable question.
“Yeah, who are you?” She was very curious and had to ask before he left.
“The name’s Rainbow, who are you?” He held out his hand for her to shake and she took it as she told him her own name, from which he replied with, “Parides- ah! Lepidopteran right?”
“That’s right.” She nodded.
“Lovely to meet you! Hey hey, could you do me a favor?” well that was… quite forward… “Ya’see I had plans, but this other guy, Robert, he flaked last minute. So could’ya just fill in his spot?” Reading her stunned expression they quickly added “I’ll provide compensation of course!”
“What are you talking about?”
She could see their gears turning as they tried to backtrack and figure out what they had forgotten to mention. “OH! Oh, I’ve got a radio show I host. On the weekends I’ve got a thing where I get a guest co-star, Robert was my man, but… yeeah, he’s not here.”
Oh! She just realized something a tad obvious that hadn’t clicked until just now, Rainbow the radio personality, she’d heard of him, he was a bit infamous, apparently more that once he’d gotten in trouble for trying to ‘expose the conspiracy within the industry’
“Sure, sounds fun.” Luckily she had the day off today.
“Splendid! My office is right this way and we’re on in- OH SNICKERDOODLE! Five minutes!!! Come come!” Slipping his pocketwatch back into his jacket he took her by the hand and started practically sprinting to his office building.


Panting heavily from their mad dash over here, he hopped into his chair, slipped on his headset, cleared his throat and didn’t sound winded at all. He was waving his hand for her to take a seat next to him as he started talking.
“Raaainbow signing on! Today I have here with me special guest star Parides, a lovely lepidopteran lady that I JUUUST picked up off the street- LITERALLY!” He proceeded to recount everything that had led up to this moment while she caught her breath.
They only had a half an hour long time slot for the interview but managed to get through quite a few a topics, involving her job, her hobbies and her day to day life.
“So, so you’re saying you and your friend built a WORKING wireframe arm mech, out of scrap? I have gotta see that sometime. That sounds so cool, doesn’t that just sound so cool?”
“Aheh-“ should she really be saying this on live radio, it wasn’t entirely legal per se… but it’s not like the industry didn’t know about it. “Yeah… she did most of it though, I just collected the materials.”
“Well, she sure sounds fascinating, heh, maybe you could talk her into coming on air next week!” But before she could respond they clapped their hands together “Well! That’s our timeslot for today’s coffee break with a guest! Feel free to mail or call in your requests if you’d like to hear her again, and YOU ALL ask her questions! That was Parides Sesostris y’all! I’ll be back in an hour with another guest, but for now- Raaaaainbow signing off!”
