☆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.

[ Squalo is making his way through the crowd with relative ease, when all of the sudden someone runs into him. He actually staggers backward from the impact, but manages to keep upright, and he tries to grip the girl's wrist before she can just slip away with having the last word. ]

Hey now, you're the one tryin' to run me over here.

[wickedlyable]

[ She twists her arm, trying to wrench her wrist out of his grasp as a proper scowl returns to her face. ] I'm five-foot-five and I weigh, like, two pounds sopping wet. I'm not that hard to dodge. [ After all, when it suits her needs, she's just a small defenseless girl - though in this case, she does feel a bit irritated that this is her fault. ]

[sharktrash]

[ He'll let go of her if she puts enough force into it. He's not really interested in making anyone bruise right now. ] Bullets are small and light, too. [ Is he saying he's not buying into the harmless thing? He might be. ] What's the rush, anyway?

[wickedlyable]

[ A bullet? Before she can think about it, her scowl drops off her face, to be replaced with an almost-smile. Damn straight, she's a bullet. ] Not a rush, exactly. I just tripped.

I'm Johanna Mason. [ She's not incredibly good at this introductions thing, but she figures her band and instrument are a good place to start. ] Lead vocals and bass for Nuclear Parliament. You?

[sharktrash]

[ Heh. Spot on. And hey, now that he connects her to that new punk band, he remembers that yeah, she does look pretty damn fierce. Which is an excellent quality, of course, so he'll give her an almost-smile back, even though in his case it's also toothy and looks like it belongs on a shark. ]

Damn, I thought I recognize you from somewhere. Squalo. MÄNTICORE's cello. [ He looks a little amused by saying that. ] -- Yeah, yeah, I know, "a cello in a metal band?". Well, it makes perfect sense once you've heard me play. [ Because he's amazing obviously. Chicks love it when you talk about yourself in a conversation, right? :0 ]

[wickedlyable]

[ Chicks may or may not love it - Johanna wouldn't exactly count herself as one of them, though. She raises her eyebrows at Squalo's cocky statement, looking him over as she puts her hands on her hips. ] Perfect sense? I don't know. I'll have to listen to you and be the judge of that.

[sharktrash]

Sounds like a plan. We're playing after Crown of Thorns today.

[ He seems perfectly comfortable with being eyed over, keeping that smirk on as a way of implied 'Like what you see?'. Then he cants his head to the side slightly and eyes her back. ]

Unless you'd like a private demonstration?

[ somebody stop him? slap him? something, anything. ]

[wickedlyable]

[ ... really. She kind of wants to laugh, but she settles for a judgmental look that might be ruined a little by the amusement creeping into her expression. ] As totally irresistible as that sounds, I'm not a big fan of wasting my time.

Maybe if I really like what I see, I'll find you in private to let you know.

[sharktrash]

[ Just a little. That's fine, it's no fun when it's too easy. ]

Wouldn't be a waste. But feel free to taste-test first. 5PM, main stage.

[wickedlyable]

Then I'll see you there. [ She tips her sunglasses to him ironically, like someone would tip a hat, then slides them on and moves past him in the crowd, attention totally distracted from her weird memory for the time being. ]

[sharktrash]

[ He'll give her a mock little salute with a grin and let her go. ]
