[A/N: It literally took me a week or two to finish this off, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it out.

LJ & Reina: Yes it is~
Vee: Yes it's gonna be crazy today so everybody tune in for After School Club!
Reina: Yeah although it's only been 6-7 months since their debut, Gryphon is known to have a lot of fans overseas; do you think you can give them a shout-out in all the languages you know?
Skull: First of all, Namaste! India.
Tsu: Hajimemashite, Tsu-desu! Japan!
Joker: Bonjour bonjour, merci beaucoup~ France!
Vee: Mabuhay, salamat! Philippines!
Lucas: Hola, gracias! Mexico!
Tsu: There's more actually: ni hao, sawadeekhap, salam alaikum, buen dia, annyeonghaseyo~
LJ: Wow that's a lot, let's not forget English; hello everybody!
Reina: I can see why they have a lot of fans overseas, they can do it in many different languages.
LJ: So in a little bit, we're going to be chatting with Gryphon's fans here on hangout (Google Hangout) How is it being on a tv show after a while for you guys?
Lucas: I'm very happy and excited that we're coming back to share our music and give love to the fans, especially being here on ASC has allowed us to reach out to our international fans.
Tsu: Yes it's truly an honor to be the first guests on ASC's first ever episode, we were never really gone because of Lucas, Vee and Joker the sub-unit EG was born. Which showed off our R&B side of the group, as the leader I'm really proud of them and I hope that the fans can enjoy our comeback as one!
Reina: Get your questions and tasks ready for Gryphon! Because we have more stuff coming~ But I do have a question, what's it like to finally be coming back together?
Vee: Well for one it's great because teamwork is key in our group, as guardians of our fans hearts we have to have great teamwork and we have to stand together! Secondly we used to have to take two vehicles to get the six-
Joker: Five-
Skull: Yes we used to have to take two vehicles because we couldn't fit in one altogether, but recently our beloved CEO who is probably watching right now got the group a new vehicle which is more spacious! Thank you CEO-nim!
Gryphon: [bows and starts waving to the camera]
Reina: Yes that's cool, a lot more spacious for maximum comfort.
LJ: You guys went overseas a couple of months ago after your short comeback, can you please tell us what impressed you the most about your foreign fans?
Tsu: It's when we got the airport on our first destination during the tour, we were all blown away by how many people came to see us and especially at the concert where we had a full house (maximum capacity) where our fans cheered and even sang along to our songs.
Reina: I'm curious where was your first destination?
Lucas: Well after our first performance in Seoul we headed to Shanghai where our first actual destination of our world tour.
LJ: How many people came?
Joker: Over a ten thousand I believe, around maybe eighteen thousand.
Reina: That's a lot of fans, is that the maximum capacity of the venue?
Vee: Yes it was, we were blown away by how many fans we actually have overseas.
LJ: So was there anything that happened during the tour that you can remember which might be memorable or meaningful?
Gryphon: [looks at each other with a smile except for Joker who was shook when everyone pointed at him]
Joker: Waegurae? What are you looking at me for~
Tsu: Joker bawled his eyes out literally at every concert before we ended the show, we normally say our goodbyes in the end of every show and Joker ended up always crying because he's both happy and sad.
Joker: Yeah hyung is right, I was just really happy to see and feel the love from our fans overseas. It warmed my heart but then saying goodbye was hard, if it were possible to have multiple clones of us in every country haha I think we would be as happy as our fans.
Skull: Okay you're talking crazy right now, you're being like LJ at the moment haha!
LJ: Don't even with me, I was talking to Jrae the other day in the waiting room of Inkigayo and she lost it haha! She said 'don't even give me any more of your conspiracy theories' Well that's the end of my story, let's not keep our fans waiting! So can we go on ahead and find out who's joining us today on our hangouts.
Reina: When I count down from 3 we all yell 'Hangout!' okay?
Gryphon: [nods]
Reina: 1..2..3
All: Let's hangout!
LJ: Okay they're loading up! It takes a while to get everyone from all around the world to load up so it'll take a while.
Reina: We have a full show here, there's a lot of viewers on our hangout!
Tsu: There's 10 people on the hangout, woah is that the maximum capacity you're allowed on Google Hangout?
LJ: First we have Isabella from Kingston, Ontario Canada! How are you?
Isabella: Hey~
Reina: Yeah, how you doin' I heard that you are a big fan of Gryphon is that right?
Isabella: Yes I am!
LJ: What do you like so much about Gryphon? Cause we have Gryphon in the studio right now!
Isabella: Well I like their flower boy style, their music has switched recently with their latest album which I like a lot! I also liked their take on retro but their latest album is a killer! Their dance is very smooth and knife-like!
Reina: Did you like their soft skin?
LJ: What in the world are you saying-
Gryphon: [Laughing]
LJ: Alright alright we'll let that go. So Isabella, what's your favorite Gryphon song? I heard there's one that is very special for you.
Isabella: Yes, when I first heard the song it had me dancing. It's their song Platonic Love, which I believe was their last take on retro before coming back with a new style.
Reina: That's cool, we'll move on soon but we want to know if you have any questions or requests for Gryphon before we do.
Isabella: Yes I want them to blow a kiss to all of their fans.
