"Gli farò un'offerta che non potrà rifiutare."

[sharktrash]

Who: MANTICORE and Roy Mustang
What: the violence-worshipping band give the warm-up band's guitarist an offer he can't refuse.
When: 17ish?
Where: someplace a gig can take place. Vista City Mini Amphitheatre? idk
Warnings: language? probably?? SQUALO? idk will add as necessary

(( There are four main sections you can post your toplevels or tag in to:
- before Manticore's performance (watching Roy play, generic shenanigans, forcing him to stay onstage after his band's done),
- during (if you wanna play out making music and/or stage shenanigans!),
- after (the final verdict) and then, finally,
- dragging their catch back home and staging THE INITIATION CEREMONY. that's right MANTICORE is lowkey a frat house.
Have fun! Threadjacking encouraged and expected! Basically, go wild. ))

[ Roy watches in fascination. He had performed for large cheering crowds before but warm up bands and smaller venues rarely ever got such an emotional reaction on this scale. Maybe one sobbing fan max.

He can feel Genos' song tugging at his own emotions. It's amazing to feel this caught up in the music but it almost feels like it isn't a matter of his own focus. It's too consistent, too automatic, it doesn't waver even as he watches the crowd or Squalo. ]

[Squalo's only amplifying the feeling for all of the audience members.

Regret, pain, a feeling of broken friendships that can never be mended.]

Time can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There's no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you find

[Every word carries the meaning and feeling through to the audience.]

[ You're welcome. ]

[ It's a good thing broken friendships are a sensation Squalo's unfamiliar with (yet). He has an easier time not getting lost in the emotions getting pulsed out right next to him. But it does make it easier to really get into the music. ]

-- IS ALL YOU FIND!!

[ he echoes, so Genos can seamlessly move into the chorus. ]

[ Regrets and pain over friendship lost. Roy has never lost a friend like that, yet it feels like somewhere in the back of his mind there's a familiarity with the feeling. Something starts to eat away at his thoughts and he squeezes his eyes shut and focuses on the chords under his fingers. Not now! Now, he plays for this audience.

He waits for the finale and let's another wave of flames erupt from his guitar. Later he'll have to remember to ask Genos about that song. ]
