☆TRACK IIX: BETTER TO PRETEND PT. 1

Who: Famous musicians, hopeful auditioners, and random onlookers.

When: March 11th.

Warnings: Mingle log mystery bag.

“It's so much better to pretend
There's something waiting for you here.
Every letter that you wrote
Has found its way to me, my dear.”

☆BETTER TO PRETEND



For musicians in either Pride or Virgo, the job offer is delivered by their managers- a suggestion to accept an invitation from Sevetop to participate in a successful gameshow. (A message that is delivered perhaps a bit more pressingly to some, with the unsaid words of “This is a chance to make it up to us”.) For others, strangers just trying to make a living and wait for their chance to save their loved ones, the message is delivered over their communicators by Gold, with promises that infiltrating this event will aid you in liberating the captives from their label's control. Either way, all roads lead to Sevetop Entertainment.

Sevetop might not have the weight that musical giants Pride Labels and Virgo Entertainment do, but that’s because it’s not into the musical industry. Sevetop is all about television and the big screen. For these purposes, it has its own little area of the city, a bustling kind of Hollywood filled with the more office-like buildings, auditoriums for additions, and even various sets. Whether you’re driven in style via limo, or brought to a regular line of buses, this is where you end up at.

Musicians, of course, end up at the more posh meeting room. A spread of delicate little lunch sandwiches, veggie platters, cupcakes, and assorted beverages are on a table for anyone to snatch up, and regularly refilled. Every celebrity is handed a small folder with papers inside going over both the boring legal things and explaining the purpose of the show. “Royals” are the ones to be “saved”, but they don’t have to make the journey easier on their “Heroes” and are given tools at their disposal to help or hinder. Heroes have one goal to accomplish, ‘rescuing’ their Royal, but it changes depending on the challenge.

Much to your surprise, some of those aspiring Heroes might just look familiar. Don't tell!

☆THE HEROES
In another building, next door, various people picked off the street (some coincidentally, others not so much, thanks to Gold's glamour witchcraft) are being given very much the same kind of presentation… In a room much more cramped, with not nearly enough chairs, on a slideshow. The only refreshments available are small bags of chips (try not to take more than one) and coolers full of bottled water.

After the separate presentations are done with, everyone is allowed to check out the sets for past seasons, which includes what look like giant mushroom tops that are made of very bouncy rubber, climbing walls made of fake vines, pumpkin shaped carriages (horses not included), and other such things.

Of course, it’s not all play. While you’re messing about, you’ve all been given numbers. Once you’ve been called, you’re to stand in front of Fairy Trial’s hosts and commentators: siblings Bella and Maurice Hooks. Both of them are equally friendly, although her more outgoing to his easygoing, but they have plenty of questions for this little audition. Tell them about yourself: hobbies, job, your favorite fairy tale, what you think your best skill is - and then, the most important, you get to display a choice "talent" in front of the audience. It can be whatever you like, as long as it's crowd appropriate.

Be careful, though, because the rock stars you're hoping to work with are watching, too. At the very least, don't make an ass out of yourself. Gold's enchantments are good, but there are some things that even magic can't charm its way through.

After all this, you’ll get a chance to just rest and mingle while your rides come back to take you back to the mall or HQ you were picked up at. Obviously for certain famous names, they’ll probably be the first ones out, but who knows… Maybe there was a traffic delay, and now you have some time to spare waiting around here as well. Just take note that you’re not allowed to wander too far from the Fairy Trial sets. Security is keeping an eye on folks to make sure they don’t steal or wreck anything.

And don’t worry, you’ll be told about the results within a week! They promise.

“You can make believe that what you say
Is what I want to hear.
I'll keep dancing through this
Beautiful delusional career.”

That makes sense. [But back on topic.] So what does the golden apple from the princess do in the story? Is it magical?
giglio_madonna: (snappleicons) (My aesthetic is)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2016-03-31 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no. I think it was just a symbol for the kingdom, so that later, they could say "Whoever has the golden apple is the one who accomplished the challenge". That kind of thing.

I wonder if it tasted any good...

[Her priorities.]

Probably not, right? It was made of gold, after all.

[But hey, this was a fairy tale. Maybe golden things could be magically tasty.]
giglio_madonna: (I'm single by choice.)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2016-04-08 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Pao-Lin, I don't think even you could chew through gold.

[Except wait... She's been in this obnoxious rich people business for a while, and...]

Although I know there are some obscenely expensive desserts where people sprinkle gold flakes on them, so, maybe...
i_am_not_cute: ((manga) pao-lin explains it all)

[personal profile] i_am_not_cute 2016-04-08 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup! I read about a chocolate sundae that costs $25,000 that's got 28 different kinds of chocolate from around the world and it's infused with bits of edible gold. Plus, the goblet it comes in is lined with edible gold and you're supposed to get a diamond-covered gold spoon you can use to eat the sundae!

[Of course Pao-Lin would know about this.]
giglio_madonna: (I'm single by choice.)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2016-04-11 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course Pao-Lin would know about that.]

Just how did you come across information like that, I wonder.
i_am_not_cute: ((manga) fishface!)

[personal profile] i_am_not_cute 2016-04-14 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
It was on a food blog I follow! Plus fans like to send me links to food they think I'll like.

[Which is usually desserts, given Pao-Lin's branding within FoB.]
giglio_madonna: (snappleicons) (Daily reminder to stay hydrated)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2016-04-16 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, are they usually successful in knowing what you like?
i_am_not_cute: ((dragon kid) silly me)

[personal profile] i_am_not_cute 2016-05-07 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[She shrugs with a smile.]

Well, I like a lot of things, so it's probably not hard to find a food I'll like, right?

[She's not totally without self-awareness.]
giglio_madonna: (snappleicons) (Bisexual girls are great)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2016-05-11 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
True. Wide enough area, you're bound to hit something...

Still, it's good that they like sending you things.
i_am_not_cute: ((manga) repressing the urge to kill)

[personal profile] i_am_not_cute 2016-05-21 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. [A mildly sulky sigh.] Too bad Angel won't let me eat any actual food they send me.

[It's safety reasons, of course -- who knows what could be in that food and they don't have the time or means to test it -- but still, what a waste to just throw all those delicious sweets away! Plus Pao-Lin feels like it does a major disservice to her fans. It feels like she's just throwing their love away.]
giglio_madonna: (On my grave I want VIP not RIP)

[personal profile] giglio_madonna 2016-05-24 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
Want me to try and sneak some food for you? What our manager doesn't know can't hurt her.

[Besides, what's the worst that could happen which hasn't already done so?]
