“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.” |
no subject
Oh... Nothing, I guess? Just kinda wandering. [He looks around.] I just feel like I have to keep moving, you know?
no subject
Well since you haven't been here and I haven't, there's just one thing to do...
no subject
[There was a chance they could get in trouble if they wound up somewhere they weren't supposed to. There were still guards about and everything. But Sora feels pretty optimistic that things will go well here, since it's not like they'd be intentionally snooping. Just casually exploring.]
no subject
[he grins back. Bring on the trouble as far as he's concerned. Well-- trouble other than the creepy kind. Speaking of which... He glances at the kid a little, or as much as he can see of him in the dark like this]
Things have been kind of weird lately, huh?
no subject
Er... yeah. But things are always kind of weird. I guess you get used to it.
[Sort of. As much as one can.]
I'm Sora, by the way. I'm with Flashstep.
no subject
Really? Is it usually this bad? [he kind of hopes not. In any case he nods at Sora]
Sabo... Cosmic Indulgence. Nice to meet you. [have a handshake and everything]
no subject
[He doesn't really want to go into detail about it, partially due to programming but even more than that due to an aversion to being caught again and losing almost two days that he can't quite remember.
He's a little relieved when he gets the chance to switch to subject to bands and stuff, and gives Sabo a friendly handshake.]
Cosmic Indulgence, huh? I have some friends there! Nariko, and Terry. You must be the new drummer then, huh?
no subject
Even the weird is weird. You'd think you'd get used to it. [people had to become acclimated to things eventually, didn't they?
He's not at all surprised that Sora knows some of his bandmates, and rubs the back of his head]
Terry's alright. I don't think Nariko likes me much. Not that I gave her reason to. [he shrugs]
And yeah. Haven't really made much of an impact yet.
no subject
Yeah... Nari's in a rough place right now, she was really close to the drummer who was there before you, so it hit her hard when he was fired and just kinda... Disappeared without a trace.
[Another thing to mark down as being weird, to be honest. He looks back up at Sabo and smiles.]
I'm sure you'll make friends with 'em all eventually, since you'll be living together and everything. Me and my band mates are pretty much best friends now.
no subject
[does that kind of thing happen often in this scene? He's not really sure. He shrugs a bit at the last and puts a hand in his pocket, absently drumming the other against his thigh in an aimless beat that just won't get out of his head]
I'm not interested in making friends. I just want to do my job. Friends take up too much time.
no subject
The thing about making friends, though. That's not the first time he's heard someone say stuff like that. He can't imagine not being close to anybody, though. It sounded lonely, not fun.]
Yeah, I guess they can... I think becoming close to your band mates is all part of being a musician, though. And fans can kind of tell. For me, doing any of this wouldn't be half as much fun if I wasn't enjoying it with my friends.
no subject
He offers Sora a smile though]
I'm glad that sort of thing works for you. I don't care about the fans and I won't let anyone tell me how to be a musician.
[a mild shrug]
It's better this way.
no subject
[And he is, he hadn't meant it to sound like he was telling Sabo what to do or how to feel.]
It's just, my friends are my life, so I can't imagine a life without any friends at all, with no one to care about, or no one who's important to you. [Because to Sora, all of that falls under the definition of "friend."]
But I know different things make different people happy. So does music and working make you most happy?
no subject
Though... that's a question he has to think about. Does it make him happy? Well perhaps not. Maybe such an emotion doesn't exist in him or he doesn't know how to get it. But he knew it once. The knowing of it tickles the back of his brain like a sneeze that won't come out. He thinks on it a while and then shrugs]
It's close enough. [not enough but close enough. All he needs is xy thing and he will have it. Just something good. Something that he can grab onto.]
