“Hold your colours against the wall, When they take everything away, Hold your colours against the wall, With me (soaking through)” ☆IN REACHING OUT  Starting around the 20th of January, the heavy lockdown and supervision of the musicians of both labels will begin to fade. While they still require escorts to be out and about, the guards that have been routinely stalking them around their own homes and HQs will be gradually phased out, until it is just the regular managers and security remaining. Sweet deal, right? Over a month after the hysteria of the ill-fated solstice party, things seem to be finally letting up a little. Whether because you've played nice for long enough, or whether their attentions are being directed elsewhere, it isn't clear. Either way, this is the also the start of some increasingly familiar paranormal activity. All the way back to the first tour of this generation of musicians, members of both Pride and Virgo have found themselves haunted by strange and inexplicable happenings. Starting on the 23rd, these happenings begin to flare up again - lights switching on and off, TVs starting on their own, and even things falling off of shelves unprovoked. (These minor happenings can be made up by you and don't need to be mod designated - however, they should not be anything that would be threatening or dangerous to the characters.) For some people this will be completely new, and for others it may even be faintly nostalgic. This will continue until the night of the 30th, when things finally seem to come into swing. The hauntings will become more pointed and explicit. The details are specific to each HQ, and there and you can make yourself open to an NPC haunting down below. ☆PRIDE RECORDS About halfway through the evening on the 30th, Predator will begin prowling the halls of Pride HQ. At first it won't be clear for what, but after catching a few snippets of conversation (this can be handwaved) characters will have a change to realize that they are looking for the ghosts that have been causing a fuss recently. How crazy this will sound to you will probably depend on how new you are. They will actively shake down random musicians they meet for information about what they've seen the last couple days. As usual, Jenny is leading the pack, with Cass and Donny (nsfw) providing back up muscle. Provided you lie well or tell them the truth, they will move along fairly quickly. If you start shit with them, they will probably rough you up a little. Any major confrontations with them will be handled on the companion OOC post, and a few top levels may appear over here that can be tagged into in limited amounts. Beyond those activities, Pride members will feel various effects based on their EMOTIONAL ALIGNMENTS: ► ALL: Their connection and desire to create music will be especially heightened. They will find themselves subconsciously beginning to tap out rhythms, hum, peck at instruments, or straight up sing things even when it would otherwise be totally inappropriate. Strong emotions will cause them to want to sing and play to each other. They may also feel very strongly that they want to dance, to a particularly addictive beat that seems to emanate from the air. It may shift and change as the night goes on, but at any given moment everyone will hear the same rhythm. It sounds like particularly great percussion. ► LOVE & DUTY: They will have no extra special effects, but they will feel this urge to create music even more strongly than the rest, as it seems to be focused on them as they are not being directly targeted by any other sensations. When Hope and Passion musicians hear music made by these characters, they will feel stronger, like energy is being gifted to them. ► HOPE: Characters of this alignment will feel increasingly like they are being drawn somewhere, or like someone is calling for them, but they can't quite make out the direction it's coming from. The aspect of hope will be empowered within them, and they will find themselves unusually trusting towards the other characters, as if they only have the most optimistic outcomes in mind. Beyond this, they may feel dazed or confused by the sensations they are feeling. They may also experience strange visions, or the sensation of being another person they are not (and not just their true self this time, someone else completely). ► PASSION: Characters of passion will be targeted by the 'hauntings' much more directly than the others. More than random acts, the hauntings around them seem like someone is actively trying to communicate with them. Sometimes it will even feel like someone is trying to speak in their heads, though they won't quite be able to make it out. Passion characters who request haunting instances will get the most major effects. ☆VIRGO ENTERTAINMENT Soon after things start to get extra weird on the 30th, Juno and a couple Virgo veterans (Anansi and a man you recognize as a popular folk artist named Brett Hogan) will start wandering the halls. They will pull individuals aside for questioning in private rooms, asking about the strange occurrences. They will not attempt to rough anyone up, but excessively resistance or attempts at violence towards them may result in characters being locked in their rooms for the rest of the night. All three of them seem particularly hard to lie to for some reason, tonight. It's possible, but while you make the effort to do so, the words seem to be on the verge of falling out of your mouth. Juno seems to have something very particular in mind as she searches the HQ, like she can see something you can't. There will also be top levels for these guys appearing. Beyond those activities, Pride members will feel various effects based on their EMOTIONAL ALIGNMENTS: ► ALL: Their connection and desire to create music will be especially heightened. They will find themselves subconsciously beginning to tap out rhythms, hum, peck at instruments, or straight up sing things even when it would otherwise be totally inappropriate. Strong emotions will cause them to want to sing and play to each other. They may also feel very strongly that they want to dance, to a particularly addictive tune that seems to emanate from the air. It may shift and change as the night goes on, but at any given moment everyone will hear the same song. It sounds like someone riffing expertly on a guitar. ► HOPE & PASSION: They will have no extra special effects, but they will feel this urge to create music even more strongly than the rest, as it seems to be focused on them as they are not being directly targeted by any other sensations. When Love and Duty musicians hear music made by these characters, they will feel stronger, like energy is being gifted to them. ► LOVE: Characters of this alignment will feel increasingly like they are being drawn somewhere, or like someone is calling for them, but they can't quite make out the direction it's coming from. The aspect of love will be empowered within them, and they will find themselves unusually loving, connected, and emotionally open to others, even if this would usually be out of character. (This can also mean they are more inclined to get physically intimate, if you want to.) Beyond this, they may feel dazed or confused by the sensations they are feeling. They may also experience strange visions, or the sensation of being another person they are not (and not just their true self this time, someone else completely). ► DUTY: Characters of duty will be targeted by the 'hauntings' much more directly than the others. More than random acts, the hauntings around them seem like someone is actively trying to communicate with them. Sometimes it will even feel like someone is trying to speak in their heads, though they won't quite be able to make it out. Duty characters who request haunting instances will get the most major effects. ☆PLOT NOTE This will be a two part event, and the second part will be posted in a few days and will only include those that choose to help the spirits. This can be discussed OOC. Any alignment can assist, though the Passions from Pride and the Duties from Virgo will be the most directly pursued because they will be the easiest for the spirits to communicate with. Realize that participating is serious business, though: there are good odds the characters will be caught eventually, and there will be consequences. Do not volunteer your characters for this plot if you don't want them to suffer potential physical or mental trauma.“Fading gently, soaking through, And starting not to show at all. In reaching out and into you, nothing else could touch me.” |

"let me in"
no subject
[That's certainly not an ominous phrase at all.]
[It likely doesn't mean the penthouse itself, so... Luce thinks of Ivan, of yelling towards the ceiling, of a shamisen shattered across the floor. That'd been frightening.]
[...It'd also not made Juno particularly happy.]
I have to get dressed. And I have to make sure this- [She touches the ring still around her neck.] -is with someone safe.
But then you can come in.
...Knock if you heard that and it's alright, dear.
no subject
no subject
[Going on the honor system that whatever is hanging about in her bathroom will turn away, Luce quickly gets to work tidying up. She can't let herself seem off, she knows that much. As an extra precaution, she wipes the words away with a handcloth.]
[A black vest and matching slacks over a simple white button up- it's a bit similar to what she had worn at the Solstice Party, but she very much hopes it doesn't end the same way. The ring she takes off around her neck and keeps it held tight between her fist.]
[She knows exactly who to trust this to.]
[Only a short rapping of her knuckles announces her sweeping into Doctor's room with a smile like nothing's wrong, and she immediately goes around for a hug.]
Doctor, dear!
[And, with her free hand, she takes one of his and squeezes. Hopefully, he understands, because she's already thinking.]
I need you to watch over something for me for what's hopefully a short while.
no subject
[ He squeezes her hand back, starting to look puzzled. ]
Of course! Going somewhere? Is there someone outside the door you don't want to hear us talking?
no subject
Just thought I'd go down to the cafe to get something for lunch. Did you want something too?
[The ring gets slipped inside his pocket before she pulls back, still holding onto his hand and smiling despite her thoughts.]
Possibly. Something happened and I agreed to it, but I don't want this getting found by Angel, or anyone else.
[Best she can, she tries to slip him the memory of what she's just experienced in the bathroom.]
no subject
[ He feels her slip the ring into his pocket and gives her an encouraging nod. She knows he won't say a word. He even sends her a vision of him tapping the side of his nose.
The bathroom memory comes to him in quick pictures like a slide reel being switched quickly. It takes a great deal of will to keep his surprise from showing on his face. ]
You know me. I'll like whatever you bring back.
Have a safe stroll then. I'll look after the kids.
no subject
[Keep them safe.. The words left unsaid before she turns around to go back to her room.]
[To Luce's credit, she does go to the dresser where her purse and wallet are. She just pauses once her fingers are on the lip and takes a breath.]
Alright then.
[She supposes she's ready... for whatever it is she's agreed to.]
no subject
The hair on her neck will tingle. Then, she'll hear a voice - much like the Doctor speaking in her mind, but someone else. The voice of a young man.]
Hey...Can you hear me?
no subject
Hello. I can hear you.
no subject
[The voice sounds relieved, a certain tension in its presence leaving as it becomes clear she isn't going to startle and kick him out.]
I've never done this before.
no subject
[But, fortunately for her, it seems like he's... not immediately bad. And, fortunately for him, he's chosen one of the most calm and stable people in probably this entire building.]
So you can talk to me better now, right? Can you explain a bit more now that we aren't relying on a mirror?
no subject
[He's sort of surprised, like he wasn't expecting it to work.]
Man, this is kind of weird. I've been watching you for a long time already, so...
[He pauses, and amends that statement.]
Not like that.
no subject
[Don't make her do it, man.]
So... You're really not going to do anything besides talk to me? It's not going to be like what happened to Ivan?
no subject
Uuuughhh, don't even get me started on that, that wasn't me - that was Baryl.
I mean, it was my friend. Who's also a ghost. He's a dumbass.
no subject
Why did he do that? Was it because of the music Juno was making us play?
no subject
So, I mean, I guess his plan worked? More or less. We've just been trying not to cause collateral damage like that.
no subject
Well, I appreciate the care. Ivan, the person your friend possessed... He's very important to me. Pao-Lin and Rei as well. The situation is dangerous, but... I'd like to keep them as safe as I possibly can.
Especially since after your friend did that, Juno took him and... I don't know what they did.
no subject
[It's said with a sort of resentful growl, but not at Luce.]
She was trying to figure out why it happened. Look, this is all kind of a long story...normally, none of this would be happening.
no subject
I understand. Listen- if you tell me the most important things you want others like me and everyone else, to know about, I can tell the Doctor and he can keep that knowledge safe while I help you with your sister. Is there a limit to how long we can do... this?
[There seemed to be with Ivan, considering how he snapped out of it, but, then again, the circumstances seem a bit different.]
no subject
Y-Yeah...I've already kinda been expelling a lot of energy tonight, trying to get people to...y'know. It's hard. I gotta stop soon before I totally burn out, we need to do this while we still have the chance.
We're the reason you guys are remembering who you're supposed to be. Because we were like you, before, but we died. We can...I don't know, pull up those parts of your soul. To make them come back.
But they got Octave and my sister, and we have to get them back, or all of this is going to stop...
[The connection wavers, she can feel it.]
no subject
How do I free them?
no subject
I don't even know, is the thing... Sorry about all this, I just...Baryl and I didn't know what else to do. I know she's in the HQ somewhere, probably down below where the examination rooms were. But they've got this stuff set up that keeps us out, or keeps her in - we can't get into those places on our own.
Magic or something, probably.
no subject
[She hadn't been able to get down there before. All the doors were shut tight.]
I don't know how to get those doors open down there. I tried the last time, when Juno left us to sort ourselves out.
