“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.” |

But it's Luce. He trusts her, and she trusts him. He doesn't want to be the sort of person who hides things from his friends. This is easily the most worked up Greg's gotten to see Luce; even after Naomi's murder, she'd pulled herself together fairly well by the time they'd gotten to talk. He's already made her worry, and denying her will make things worse.
"...We've already talked about it." It feels like forever ago. "You... heard it."
no subject
The look in Luce's eyes softens. "Tiger," she murmurs, just to get confirmation from him. Of course it would be Tiger. Somehow, knowing that there are children tangled in this game between adults leaves a sour taste on her tongue. It shouldn't be how things are done. Yet here they are, and they all have to work with what they've been given.
"You know you can't trust him no matter what he says, don't you?"
no subject
"I hate leaving him over there. They've done terrible things to him over at Pride, you know that?" His thumb rubs along the length of one string. "At first I thought it might be better here, but. So long as that guy's in charge, I can't trust anything."
no subject
"There's no premade safe space for any of us," she says slowly, shifting and with her arms loosely wrapped about her. "Pride is openly a questionable place, but Virgo isn't much better, I suspect. If there's anywhere we could be safe... It's something we'd have to make ourselves."

"He's not omniscient, he's not all powerful. There's plenty he doesn't know yet. We simply don't know enough yet."
no subject
"How are we supposed to learn any more, though...?" It only ever seems like details come forward at their expense.
no subject
The man in the suit, the one from her memories, is a person she's only talked about to the rest of her band. Doctor knows she's met him. Rei and Ivan know she's had dreams about him. Talking to someone clearly about something like that is...
No. It's Greg. She can talk to him.
"Can you keep a secret? A proper one, one you won't tell anyone else." No lightness is in her voice as she asks the question. It's weighed down by a certain somberness.
no subject
"Of course."
no subject
Excitedly, Luce forges on. "It's not like you and Tiger, he's not a musician- he's not a part of Pride Records or Virgo Entertainment. He knew exactly who I was, and he said he's here to rescue me. If it were anyone else, well, pull the other finger, right? But with what happened to Naomi, all the mystery, and the visions... I know I can trust him. He's important to me."
That last part is said not just with conviction, but a great deal of love. Soft and bright, like a candle flame, but still flickering passionately.
no subject
"You think... he can do it...?" His caution is too great to be excited, but... he would sure like to believe.
no subject
"It's quite a big deal to be kidnap a celebrity, so... I doubt anything will happen right away, although I don't think I'd half mind at this point."
no subject
Yet, even as the thought passes through his head, it loses steam halfway, fizzling in confusion. "But... rescue...? We're just working." That's what everyone in the outside world is meant to think, anyway. "How could he know?"
no subject
"Do you think there's a reason that Blanche is so confident we have nowhere else to go?"
no subject
She's telling him something, but it keeps getting lost before he can hear it, really hear what it is she means. It's like a fog has settled over him, his eyes losing focus.
no subject
"Greg! Are you alright?"
no subject
Her touch jostles him out of it, but a fog still lingers over his brain. "S-sorry, Luce, what were we talking about?"
no subject
"We were talking about the man who came to see me at the charity concert," she answers, wondering if that will help nudge his mind back into order or if she'll have to be more clear.
no subject
"Sorry Luce, I... I guess I'm out of it today. Can we talk about it another time?"
no subject
"Alright. Greg, have you... talked to Juno?" She knows she's seen her stalking around HQ, after all. "Or, ah, psychiatrists of the company, or something like that?"
