What: The Double S Charity Concert is go!
When: January 24th throughout the day
Where: Archer Park
Warnings: None planned

☆A Little Little Fun



On the morning of the 24th, the sun rises over Vista City and, more importantly, Archer Park- a series of rooftop parks connected to each other by bridges and overflowing greenery of all sorts. It's a popular on most days to start with. Today, however, is the day of the Double S Charity Concert. Thus, it's more packed than usual.

One of the park "islands" is home to a concert stage, and that is where the concert is taking place. All throughout the next couple of days, various musicians will perform songs they've written about or dedicated to another in the industry. With the entertainment value of the idea and the fame of the musicians, of course the place is packed.

The stage is where every musician will end up at throughout the day, performing for the masses, but behind it is also a rest area for them to either bide their time or just hang out. It's supposed to be restricted to just those musicians participating, but frankly... security is lax just enough that bandmates and the such could duck on in to see their friends. No fans, however, sorry. It's not the most impressive of places, with seating areas and a salad bar and all the pizza that could possibly be ordered, but hopefully it's good enough. This is also where one can find event organizer Jenny around, in case they need to bring anything up.

Of course, no one is required to stay back there while waiting their turn, or after they've done their performance. Attempts to raise money go beyond just the concert. Double S has all sorts of stalls set up, whether to explain to people the various causes they can specifically pledge support to, or to sell merchandise. Can't forget the food stalls. There is, of course, a stall showing adoptable animals. There always is.

Finally, there's one last thing Double S has set up for any willing celebrities. It's a meet-and-greet area for the fans, where they have the chance to meet their favorite musicians. Giving out autographs, taking pictures with fans... There's even a karaoke set up for everyone to use. Musicians can sing solo, or with others from their label, or even with a lucky fan. AKA feel free to get NPC MP here. Hopefully, it'll get some good publicity for those interested in that kind of thing.

Tickets have been made astonishingly cheap in the hopes that more people will show, with anything else being made up by merchandise sales or donations.

[Sitting in the audience, Rei watches her "mother" play, cheerfully listening to her tunes. She hadn't participated in the event herself because Angel had kept her quite busy during that time, a little exchange of work so she could go out more often. But that didn't mean she couldn't enjoy the performance.

Rei's senses darken a little when she hears the name from that dark man's lips. He has an aura around him, the feel of someone intelligent, someone serious. Sliding near her, she can't help but watch him out of the corner of her eye, wondering just what he's even doing here. It's a concert, and someone like this? Shouldn't be a star-struck fan...]


She's outstanding, isn't she?

[A probing question. Just to see. Now, Rei herself isn't exactly much to look at. She's short, and beautiful in a very, very traditional way. Holding herself warily, dressed in a fairly simple blouse and slacks, with one of those pins that all her band seems to wear on.]

An understatement.

{Reborn's response is automatic. He's dropped his guard too far and he's not even turning to see who is speaking to him. They don't feel like a threat and that's enough for the moment.}

She's had that amazing voice as long as I've known her.

[Rei's voice, a rich alto, comes readily enough. She's not intimidated by strangers, not since she's discovered some new things about herself. Between the ability to lift a small car and security, she's hardly concerned.]

The song...writing it...it meant a lot to her. Just this morning at breakfast, she was saying she hoped it would be a hit.

[She's doing it. She's engaging a fan in a crowd and not freaking out...trying to make her momma proud.]
fedorasun: (hmph)

[personal profile] fedorasun 2016-02-01 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
She didn't sing before.

{None of them had really had much cause to, but he thinks he remembers her humming over the cookies and espresso. Into his skin in the dark.

The mention of having spoke with Luce, and her exit from the stage make it possible for his attention to finally focus on the girl next to him.}


You know Luce well?

She was a nun, before she joined our band, I believe.

[Rei meets his eyes, folding arms over her chest. She is a little nervous, not because of him specifically, but because it's a stranger. As safe as she feels, she's just not a people person.]

And yes, I do. She's...I suppose you could say she's Flowers over Bone's mother. My mother, in the ways that matter.

[Tapping her pin, the white casablanca lily, indicating that she is a member.]

Are you someone from her past? Or a fan?
fedorasun: (Constant Vigilance)

[personal profile] fedorasun 2016-02-01 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
{He blinks, and breaks out chuckling.}

Luce a nun? That's funny.

{Reborn's careful to tuck his hands in his pocket and remain nonthreatening. If this girl really is from Luce's band, there's no telling what kind of security or observance she has on her.}

She's very good at mothering.

{His eyes are dark and distance when he answers the question.}

Luce and I go way back.
faithfulflame: (Rei Thoughtful)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2016-02-01 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Dark, distant...it doesn't matter to Rei. She quirks her head to one side now, genuinely curious.]

She is...but she's not talked a whole lot about her life before the convent.

[Swallowing.]

Who are you?
fedorasun: (hello my prey)

[personal profile] fedorasun 2016-02-02 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
She wasn't ever in a convent.

{Reborn's got an amused eyebrow raised.}

Chaos, I'm Reborn.

{He tips his hat to her.}

Who are you?
faithfulflame: (Priestess Lets get to it!)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2016-02-02 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
No? She'd tell you otherwise.

[And Mother rarely lied to her kids. She did lie, but not often.]

I'm Rei. The violinist for Flowers over Bones. Her bandmate. Her...adopted daughter.

[Reborn? What the hell kind of name is that, anyway?]

Because she's been brainwashed. She's actually a mafia boss.

{He tries out the truth, laying it before this girl. She seems mostly harmless, and it's a good chance to test the brainwashing programming and how violently it might react.}

Violin is a lovely instrument. Aria would love having a sister. She would tease you mercilessly, though.

{If she wasn't also dead, just like Luce.}
faithfulflame: (Rei Blinku)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2016-02-06 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[And contrary to what he believes, she's not violently reacting to that, nor is she harmless...but she's not spilling the beans on that. She blinks at the statement, completely confused by it.]

Her? A mafia boss? That's ridiculous.

[...and yet. "I was sitting around a table with a group of men. And I had another of myself being pregnant..."

She scrubs her face reflexively, taking a step back from Reborn, looking him up and down. He seemed rough, serious, as she'd said earlier, but there was more to it than that...]


Brainwashed?
