003 ✽ I'll be with you again

Who: Various Virgos and Priders
What: What's that? Mall trip? MALL TRIP. A mingle log for party clothes and holiday gifts of all sorts.
When: Before the inter-label party
Where: The Wave Boulevard Mega Mall
Warnings:

Luce hits her fellow Virgo musicians like a hurricane. A loving, maternal hurricane.

For the lucky ones whose numbers she has, it's simply a ring up that morning inquiring if they'd like to go to the WBMM that day for some holiday shopping, or to pick out any clothes for the inter-label party if nothing in their closet is satisfying them. "Or if you just want some fresh air while we still have it," she jokes, even if the more empathetic can taste a hint of sharpness in that line. My, whatever could she be referring to?

For the unlucky ones... She makes a personal visit, practically sweeping some people off their feet. It's a rush of friendly chatter that's almost overwhelming, and some people might find themselves agreeing without realizing what they've done until Luce simply beams as she says she'll pick them up in an hour. "Oh, and you might want to wear a hoodie or something like that. Don't want the paparazzi bothering you too much!"

Congratulations, all of you: You've just agreed to the great mall trip whether you meant to or not.

The Wave Boulevard Mega Mall, or the Double M as it's known to locals, is the largest mall both in Vista City and this side of Americana. Considering things, that's an impressive feat. It's an enormous multi-level building filled to the brim with practically anything your little capitalist heart could desire. Various department stores, a movie theater dominating an entire two floors, an arcade somewhere, proper restaurants and food courts both.... It's called a "mega mall" for a damn good reason.

Once everyone gets there, they're let loose to their own devices.

As for Pride Records? Well. Maybe some of you are just at the mall for your own reasons. Maybe you got a call from Luce or another Virgo friend talking about the place. You don't need much of a reason to be there. Double M is that kind of place.

[ Ivan takes a look at the business card, front and back, before pocketing it and getting out a sheet of origami paper out. He quickly scribbles down a number of his own and hands it to him. ]

And here is mine. I have talked to them both, and they were both in the basement as well.

[ Truthfully, Ivan's a little hurt that Mei thinks he wouldn't talk to his own band family about what happened. However he doesn't mention it. He gets up to leave, feeling like things will only continue to more toward an uncomfortable direction if he stays. ]

... I don't have anything against Pride Records. I have friends there, and I want to protect them too. I... just want you to know that.

[That doesn't put his mind at ease in the slightest. If anything, it only makes it worse.]

Has Pao-Lin been called in for a solo meeting by the higher-ups at any point? Had a psych evaluation?

[Because if not, she's the only one that's been named so far that hasn't. He has, Greg has, and even though Ivan's name wasn't on any of the files on the desk when Yan had been called in, he was still singled out about his behavior in October.]

[Far be it for Krieg to argue with trying to keep up appearances--at least enough to stay out of the tabloids.]

Sure.

[He notes the injuries, but doesn't think much of them. It's...it's Xanxus, what do you expect?]

This is taking it easy.

[Comparatively speaking, anyway.]

You need help with your load, Luce?

[ He sighs. Truthfully, the gift excuse is just that, an excuse. ]

At the same time, I... need to get through this and get stronger, so this doesn't affect my daily life and the band.

Fuck you too!

[He's not sticking around for his "mom" to get called, so Artolo bolts the other way down another flight of escalator, squeezing through and generally being a goddamn nuisance to innocent people who have enough to deal with than a pair of assholes.]

[Clearly a productive day, 'tho.]

[Or, at least, he got away from a furry, which is the important thing.]
iitrebel: (askthestargazers) (Good night I hope you dream about)

[personal profile] iitrebel 2015-12-20 02:22 am (UTC)(link)
I will take that as your blessing, then.

[And hopefully remember to pay for them.]

So, gonna buy anything or just wait for someone to connect the dots with one of the band shirts and your face?

No.

[As much as he'd really like to start pacing right now, it would only draw unnecessary attention to them. But what the hell is going on here? Ivan ended up in the hospital, too, but Greg and Pao-Lin didn't? There's no consistency in how all of this is being dealt with and that more than anything is driving him nuts. It's taken his head a long time to clear, but nothing seems to have changed in the meantime and he's too afraid to go back to the doctors and say as much. He's just been trying to keep his head down, play along and keep quiet, but this keeps spiraling bigger and bigger with each person he talks to about it.]

Pride doesn't seem to be pushing the sickness angle.

[ A smirk ] Have you forgotten? I was in metal once too. Plus I've got my Opera training. I could probably drown your ass out if I wanted. [ Something deep deep down tells him that this isn't true and that this asshole could be a hell of alot louder if he wanted to be. ]

But I guess you got a point. I'll go talk to the dudes in charge of the sound system. I'm sure I can convince them that they want to do this.

[ Either by intimidation or by abusing his infamy a little ] You just get what we need in that little cart of yours. Not like I can carry shit yet. And then we can give these poor tortured fucks a bit of good music for a change.

[ He'll lead the man away from the crowds. He's pretty sure the two of them could Moses their way though a crush of anyone but he's trying to keep out of trouble for once. He won't say a damn thing until he's sure they're alone ]

Krieg, have you ever thought you remembered having something. Something super important. Something you would never ever lose, only to find it missing?

Shop for me. Then it will make sense that both of us look pissed about it.

[If nothing else, he's very self-aware. His face naturally looks like this, but it's going to stand out if Luce looks unhappy. On top of that, if for some reason they actually are recognized, it will be easier to shrug off if it looks like she's forcing him into a new wardrobe. That's a lot more believable than him accompanying her while she shops for herself.]

Metal's got nothing to do with it, fuckface.

[ He almost sounds fond, though. Maybe swearwords is just a natural part of his vocabulary. ]

Gotcha. Meet up at the center in fifteen?

[ He'll go off and gather everything then, even if he still thinks they should do it from the music store. And microphones, too. He's got every plan to deafen fucking everyone in the whole giant mall, okay. ]

[No insult was intended by the suggestion-- Koumei himself hadn't spoken much to his band family about these problems... but, when Keytar Mom Garnet is quietly falling apart in her own way and the other three are caught up in their own affairs, he didn't want to burden any of them with worry.

He didn't fight Ivan's move to leave. There was no use in pressing someone who was uneasy.]


And I want you to know that I feel the same about you. Since our goals overlap, there's a possibility we might work together in the future....whether this problem is indeed ghosts or something more.

That's right. Virgo underestimated me: they didn't plan on the hidden wild man I've got, deep down. [ He hunches his shoulders, and gives his most menacing scowl through his shaggy bangs. ] You'd better stay away from me, Luce. This wild man's only going to drag down good people with him.

[ When he says it out loud, it sounds a lot sillier than in his head. ]

Pinkie leans forward as well, though she keeps bouncing lightly. "I...think I probably did." The bouncing dies down, and a few curls slip out from under her disguise as she tilts her head thoughtfully at the latest child to climb up onto Snow Bear's lap. She doesn't really remember. Shouldn't she?

"I mean, most people do, right? I just grew up like...out west a bit, so." It's probably just that she was really little at the time. Or something.

[She pauses momentarily, then she gives the other woman a slight grin.]

Sure, why not. It has to be more interesting than roaming around alone with fans trailing you.
