☆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.

[Oh, this sweet child.]

[Luce isn't sure what she's expecting when she steps out of her trailer- although the plan had been to get some food since the trailer doesn't have a good enough kitchen for her satisfaction- but it's certainly not Sora suddenly popping up to put a flower crown on her head.]

[She pauses, laughing half from delight and half from surprise.]

Now what's this?

[Sora grins at her, practically exuding sunshine. It's apparent that this music fest has been good for him so far.]

A flower crown. I made it! Out of the flowers you sell? The ones that are the symbol for you. I ended up making one for everyone in your band with their symbols. This one's yours.

[Now that that's said... He immediately gives her a hug, with no real warning. He's so happy and relieved to see her again though, the feeling is so strong. He has to hug her.] You were great on stage!

[Thanks are on the tip of her tongue when he suddenly surges forward, and Luce laughs even as her hands wrap around his shoulders.]

I'm glad you think so. We've been wanting to use that cannon trick for ages now. You were wonderful too, I see everyone was going wild for you. You're going to end up a heartbreaker at this rate.

[Her fingers sweep through his hair fondly, glad to see that he's doing alright.]

Feeling better with fresh air?

The paper flower cannon thing? That was awesome! [He just beams at her as she touches his hair. If he were a dog, he'd be wagging his tail at this point.]

Thanks! [...Though, he looks a little sheepish at her compliments, mostly because:] I dunno if I want to be breaking anyone's heart, though...

[He pulls away in order to slightly adjust the crown on her head, back to grinning.] Yeah! This whole thing is really great. Getting to see all of the bands and in one place, and all the people too!

It's a figure of speech.

[Chuckle, she taps his nose. He's really a sweet boy. If he ever finds someone he loves, she hopes they treat him well.]

Have you seen some of the new bands? I know Pride got some new faces as well.

Yeah, I guess...

[The tap makes him wrinkle his nose a little in reaction, but briefly, and he's still smiling.]

Yeah! I've been watching whenever I can, it's so great getting to see everyone perform live like this. [He doesn't really go to clubs, so. Plus a lot of these people are his friends, maybe not the new bands yet, but the others. Getting to watch them is great.]

There's nothing like listening to bands live, I agree. I think I'm quite lucky, in fact, to see everyone performing right after the other like this.

[First Sinnamon and now the music fest? So many people must be jealous.]

So did you listen to any of the bands while making this, or did you rush right on over?

I did see some of the new bands! I saw, uh...

[He puts his hand out to count on his fingers.] Crown of Thorns, Manticore, and Nuclear Parliament! The last one was probably my favorite.

Have you seen any of the new ones?

Ooh, I've heard of Crown of Thorns, but I haven't gotten a chance to see them play. [Luce rolls her eyes fondly.] Media is trying to hype them up as our rivals, you know how it is.

[Tabloids, honestly.]

I had to go see Nuclear Parliament, and Hue & Cry too! A fellow band broke up, you see... The two I knew well both went into those groups. The old band was country, so it must be quite a change! I wanted to make sure they were doing well.

[Indeed, Sora knows how it is.]

Yeah, they definitely like to do that with the Pride and Virgo labels. I guess it kinda makes sense though, you have some of the same instruments in your bands.

Oh, I knew that happened but I didn't really know any of the people it happened to. So, are they doin' okay?

They're doing well. Although...

[She leans in closer and winks.]

Lian is so grumpy all the time, it can be hard to tell!
