“Hold your colours against the wall, When they take everything away, Hold your colours against the wall, With me (soaking through)” ☆IN REACHING OUT  Starting around the 20th of January, the heavy lockdown and supervision of the musicians of both labels will begin to fade. While they still require escorts to be out and about, the guards that have been routinely stalking them around their own homes and HQs will be gradually phased out, until it is just the regular managers and security remaining. Sweet deal, right? Over a month after the hysteria of the ill-fated solstice party, things seem to be finally letting up a little. Whether because you've played nice for long enough, or whether their attentions are being directed elsewhere, it isn't clear. Either way, this is the also the start of some increasingly familiar paranormal activity. All the way back to the first tour of this generation of musicians, members of both Pride and Virgo have found themselves haunted by strange and inexplicable happenings. Starting on the 23rd, these happenings begin to flare up again - lights switching on and off, TVs starting on their own, and even things falling off of shelves unprovoked. (These minor happenings can be made up by you and don't need to be mod designated - however, they should not be anything that would be threatening or dangerous to the characters.) For some people this will be completely new, and for others it may even be faintly nostalgic. This will continue until the night of the 30th, when things finally seem to come into swing. The hauntings will become more pointed and explicit. The details are specific to each HQ, and there and you can make yourself open to an NPC haunting down below. ☆PRIDE RECORDS About halfway through the evening on the 30th, Predator will begin prowling the halls of Pride HQ. At first it won't be clear for what, but after catching a few snippets of conversation (this can be handwaved) characters will have a change to realize that they are looking for the ghosts that have been causing a fuss recently. How crazy this will sound to you will probably depend on how new you are. They will actively shake down random musicians they meet for information about what they've seen the last couple days. As usual, Jenny is leading the pack, with Cass and Donny (nsfw) providing back up muscle. Provided you lie well or tell them the truth, they will move along fairly quickly. If you start shit with them, they will probably rough you up a little. Any major confrontations with them will be handled on the companion OOC post, and a few top levels may appear over here that can be tagged into in limited amounts. Beyond those activities, Pride members will feel various effects based on their EMOTIONAL ALIGNMENTS: ► ALL: Their connection and desire to create music will be especially heightened. They will find themselves subconsciously beginning to tap out rhythms, hum, peck at instruments, or straight up sing things even when it would otherwise be totally inappropriate. Strong emotions will cause them to want to sing and play to each other. They may also feel very strongly that they want to dance, to a particularly addictive beat that seems to emanate from the air. It may shift and change as the night goes on, but at any given moment everyone will hear the same rhythm. It sounds like particularly great percussion. ► LOVE & DUTY: They will have no extra special effects, but they will feel this urge to create music even more strongly than the rest, as it seems to be focused on them as they are not being directly targeted by any other sensations. When Hope and Passion musicians hear music made by these characters, they will feel stronger, like energy is being gifted to them. ► HOPE: Characters of this alignment will feel increasingly like they are being drawn somewhere, or like someone is calling for them, but they can't quite make out the direction it's coming from. The aspect of hope will be empowered within them, and they will find themselves unusually trusting towards the other characters, as if they only have the most optimistic outcomes in mind. Beyond this, they may feel dazed or confused by the sensations they are feeling. They may also experience strange visions, or the sensation of being another person they are not (and not just their true self this time, someone else completely). ► PASSION: Characters of passion will be targeted by the 'hauntings' much more directly than the others. More than random acts, the hauntings around them seem like someone is actively trying to communicate with them. Sometimes it will even feel like someone is trying to speak in their heads, though they won't quite be able to make it out. Passion characters who request haunting instances will get the most major effects. ☆VIRGO ENTERTAINMENT Soon after things start to get extra weird on the 30th, Juno and a couple Virgo veterans (Anansi and a man you recognize as a popular folk artist named Brett Hogan) will start wandering the halls. They will pull individuals aside for questioning in private rooms, asking about the strange occurrences. They will not attempt to rough anyone up, but excessively resistance or attempts at violence towards them may result in characters being locked in their rooms for the rest of the night. All three of them seem particularly hard to lie to for some reason, tonight. It's possible, but while you make the effort to do so, the words seem to be on the verge of falling out of your mouth. Juno seems to have something very particular in mind as she searches the HQ, like she can see something you can't. There will also be top levels for these guys appearing. Beyond those activities, Pride members will feel various effects based on their EMOTIONAL ALIGNMENTS: ► ALL: Their connection and desire to create music will be especially heightened. They will find themselves subconsciously beginning to tap out rhythms, hum, peck at instruments, or straight up sing things even when it would otherwise be totally inappropriate. Strong emotions will cause them to want to sing and play to each other. They may also feel very strongly that they want to dance, to a particularly addictive tune that seems to emanate from the air. It may shift and change as the night goes on, but at any given moment everyone will hear the same song. It sounds like someone riffing expertly on a guitar. ► HOPE & PASSION: They will have no extra special effects, but they will feel this urge to create music even more strongly than the rest, as it seems to be focused on them as they are not being directly targeted by any other sensations. When Love and Duty musicians hear music made by these characters, they will feel stronger, like energy is being gifted to them. ► LOVE: Characters of this alignment will feel increasingly like they are being drawn somewhere, or like someone is calling for them, but they can't quite make out the direction it's coming from. The aspect of love will be empowered within them, and they will find themselves unusually loving, connected, and emotionally open to others, even if this would usually be out of character. (This can also mean they are more inclined to get physically intimate, if you want to.) Beyond this, they may feel dazed or confused by the sensations they are feeling. They may also experience strange visions, or the sensation of being another person they are not (and not just their true self this time, someone else completely). ► DUTY: Characters of duty will be targeted by the 'hauntings' much more directly than the others. More than random acts, the hauntings around them seem like someone is actively trying to communicate with them. Sometimes it will even feel like someone is trying to speak in their heads, though they won't quite be able to make it out. Duty characters who request haunting instances will get the most major effects. ☆PLOT NOTE This will be a two part event, and the second part will be posted in a few days and will only include those that choose to help the spirits. This can be discussed OOC. Any alignment can assist, though the Passions from Pride and the Duties from Virgo will be the most directly pursued because they will be the easiest for the spirits to communicate with. Realize that participating is serious business, though: there are good odds the characters will be caught eventually, and there will be consequences. Do not volunteer your characters for this plot if you don't want them to suffer potential physical or mental trauma.“Fading gently, soaking through, And starting not to show at all. In reaching out and into you, nothing else could touch me.” |

Artolo jumps back with a loud garbled swear that sounds half Spanish and half like an angry cricket. "Yo, what the fuck!?" A brief pause as he comes down from his surprise, and then he asks reasonably, "So I guess you don't want that anymore? Can I have it?"
no subject
"I'M NOT CRAZY!" A pause. Wait. Not what he wants to say. "Fine. Take it. It's a shit radio. You can have it. Just get it the fuck out of here."
no subject
Okay.
Shit is obviously going on here. It is shit that Artolo suspects he should probably stay the fuck out of. That's the plan, honestly, as he nudges cautiously over to the trashed debris and starts picking things up.
But for some reason, the phrasing of that seems to trigger the "fuck it" part of his brain, and he speaks up. "You, uh, want to talk about whatever is rattling around in your booze soaked brain?"
no subject
He is stiff. Utterly stiff and for a moment, his face is pale. So pale that it makes his scars really stand out vividly. "I will if you tell me you heard that. Please tell me you heard that. Tell me it's not just me..." He's a little desperate, honestly. It's a huge fear, the fear that he might actually be crazy.
no subject
It takes a minute for him to get something coherent. "If you're balls off the walls insane, then I am too, but that was just confirmation of it."
no subject
"Then you did hear that shit. It's not just me. Thank fuck. I could kiss you if I wasn't afraid of getting herpes or whatever from you." Because insults is how Xanxus shows his relief. "I really thought I was losing my mind. What with the radio and the messages in the bathroom and all the other bullshit happening."
no subject
"It's been popping off in our place for ages now. I could ignore it, but literally everyone in my band is getting bothered by it, I haven't a ball's clue in sweat hell what to do with it."
no subject
"As for what to do about it, fuck if I know. I thought I lost my mind. I was even going to schedule an appointment with a shrink. Since it's not just me, I don't have to do that bullshit. Thank god."
no subject
"I keep the cats in a separate apartment, since my manager still throws a fit at the idea of the staying in the penthouse..." He hops from one foot to another, brain going back through everything. "I've been trying to work on a camera system to watch over them, but it's been bugging on me all day... Ghosts hate tech shit, right?"
no subject
"And I don't know. Ghosts aren't supposed to fucking exist. Now, it if was some sort of illusion bullshit, then maybe I could accept it. But I've not seen any indigo flames." ... A pause because where the hell did that come from. He really was going insane if he was thinking about fire being purple.
"But I think you can record ghosts and shit."
no subject
The talk of illusions makes him pause, and he leans a bit to squint at Xanxus' face. Is he on drugs again? Artolo feels like he would recognize it if he was. He knows all about shit like that.
"...Did you take something a while ago?"
no subject
"And no, I'm not. I haven't shot up since...I don't know... a day or so ago?" So it's probably not being high, but weird withdrawn symptoms. This whole ghost bullshit was just weird withdraw symptoms. "I ran out. So I either got to go out and get more or see if anyone has anything I can take." Because getting high is the perfect means to dealing with ghost bullshit.
no subject
He guesses he could move on from that to drug talk some more, however. "Well, whatever, there's no.... flames anywhere. Just ghost bullshit."
no subject
"Right. No flames. Fire can't be purple anyway. What was I thinking. Just ghost bullshit. Which is even more stupid. Why the fuck are there even ghosts? Means people died or some shit, right?
no subject
"Lesedi Santiago seems like a pretty hard bitch. I wouldn't be surprised if she did kill someone."
