☆THE FESTIVAL Welcome to the South Vista Music Fest! An enormous, weeklong festival with hundreds of bands performing nearly 24/7, the Music Fest is a quarter annual event that celebrates all manners of local talent, both big time and small time. Every band from Pride Records and Virgo Entertainment will have performances to do, including the freshly recruited – you better have your act together, because now is your time to shine! Player bands will be performing roughly once a day, with bands from the first app round predominantly with evening slots and the newest bands with predominantly afternoon slots. There is definitely a hierarchy to the scheduling - Pride and Virgo claim almost all of the prime performance times, while other labels are forced to deal with the leftovers. You've definitely been chosen by the winners of the music industry in these parts, that's for sure. Shuttles will be available to take people back to their relative HQs in their downtime, but they're also allowed to hang out and enjoy the festivities if that's what they prefer. Stuff is happening all day and night, so it's really just a question of how much you can party while still being conscious for your own show. Your managers will tell you that the company CEOs pay extra close attention to this event, so that you need to be on your best behaviour. The festival takes up a massive amount of floor area with multiple stages of various sizes and a large amount of glowy display screens. It's set up on the ground floor of the cityscape, meaning that the suspension roads and walkways above have been programmed to add to the ambient lighting all day and night. ► TRAILER PARK KIDS: For those that just want to chill, there is a massive VIP area reserved for labels to park various trailers for their musicians to hang out in during downtime - one for each band. They aren't quite as big as the tour buses, but they are comfortable and well stocked. Each is equipped with two beds and a bathroom/shower. Pretty much every local band you know of is here, including the notorious Predator. Nose around their trailer at your own risk. ► IN THE SPOTLIGHT: With at least six performances in a span of six days, there is plenty of time for shenanigans to go down both back and center stage. Time to show your mettle, and to hope that some asshole doesn't take all the best food items from the backstage catering tables before you can get to them. ► ATMOSPHERIC NOISE: If you dare brave the storm, there is a massive quantity of merch, vendor, and food booths available for your perusal. Many fans endeavor to spend as much time at Music Fest as possible, and so the space is very lived in, with large groups of people hanging out in well populated lounge areas. Depending on how popular you are, it may be difficult to get around without getting swarmed by your fans. ► DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER: And all the while, the strange memories continue. The label's newest members will have started to feel strange as of November 6th, and by the time of the Fest almost all of them will be discovering their first memories regains. The first one should be based on the alignment you chose, but the rest can be whatever you want. New character may regain up to 4 memories between their arrival and the end of November.

{Haru double takes. She does it. She's not proud of her surprise, but it happens, and she's got no problems owning up to it with a sheepish smile when Johanna leers. She's dressed for the weather, too, in neon shorts not nearly as short as the other woman's and an equally eye searing halter top.}

It really is nice! You're from Nuclear Parliment, right?

[wickedlyable]

That's me. [ She draws herself up to her full height - which unfortunately isn't that tall, but she's got the confidence and bravado to make it feel like she's added a few inches. ] Who are you, then?

[ She does actually vaguely recognize the girl, but she prefers to act like knowing anything about other bands isn't worth her time. ]

[costumechange]

{Haru's only 5'2'' herself so any height at all is impressive against her.

She continues smiling, completely unaffected by Johanna's ignorance of her identity.}

I'm Haru, from Vandalism in Progress.

{She doesn't really expect anyone to know the percussionist, especially since she's not particularly stunning and noticeable.}

[wickedlyable]

So what do you play? [ Johanna asks, feigning enough curiosity to warrant stepping further into the Haru's personal space. ]

[costumechange]

Percussion!

{Haru's an affectionate and tactile person. Johanna's advance into her space isn't even noticed.}

[wickedlyable]

[ Oh. Well, that's boring. Johanna crosses her arms over her chest, looking Haru over. ] Are you any good?

[costumechange]

{Haru's smile gets wider, but a bit sharper at the edges. She's used to being dismissed as nothing, and its fine if Johanna wants to do that, too.}

I wouldn't say I'm the best, because I'm not a blowhard, but I don't see anyone else using three mallets in one hand and a drumstick in the other.

[wickedlyable]

[ Ah. Johanna raises her eyebrows, tilting her head slightly to one side. ] If no one else is as skilled as you are, you should call yourself the best. You shouldn't lie for the sake of modesty.
