Kivotos Channel: Breaking News with Gilletta

GingerΈλα of the day after is a cyberpunk femme fatale who shows up at her father’s funeral to get her revenge.

This earthshattering event is brought to us live from the cemetery as a breaking news segment. Famous female television presenter Gilletta – sporting a black vinyl outfit and an enigmatic air – introduces her heart-breaking eulogy. GingerΈλα tells her life’s story and talks about her monstrous late father. Her revenge is epic, and quite called for. He once forbade her from using their family name, saying she brought it only shame. The coming catharsis rages like a storm – her dreadlocks thrash through the air, her blazing red-hot eyes flare like flames, her flashing rhinestone face bling is blinding, and her blue vinyl boots on his coffin take your breath away! Spine-tinglingly, she exclaims: “Darling monster of mine, Gkionis is my name – and everybody knows me!” The broadcast falls silent.

That concludes Breaking News.
