☆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.

[Oh look who's catching you backstage, Greg!]

...You know, the odds that you would get the other Ice Queen are very low. Do you think it was truly a coincidence?

[ With how much Meril likes watching Greg on stage, she might notice his usual post-performance energy is a little more jittery than standard. Still, he greets her warmly with a quick kiss. ]

Same odds as anyone else. Though I've seen the tabloids reach further for their drama.

[Oh. Well, she returns that, but not without turning red in the process.]

That was a very remarkable performance. I did not realize we could get so many stage effects here, or I might have arranged for a laser or something.
panspermia: (★ Awesome new set)

[ He wraps an arm around her, smiling. ]

Eheh. The tech people around here are capable of some crazy stuff. You go on in a little while, don't you?
nibelungvalesti: (hands clasped)

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2016-02-01 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I do. [This she has no problem with; after all, she's spent a month or so sprawling on him or vice versa just for comfort. So she steps into him a little.] I do. I admit I am a bit nervous about actually singing in front of an audience. You have seen how it is for me.
panspermia: (★ I have no friends ;D)

[personal profile] panspermia 2016-02-01 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I have. [ It was certainly something else. ] You'll do fine, I know it. Once you get into the music, you can forget the crowd, and it'll be just you up there, killing it.
nibelungvalesti: (sadness)

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2016-02-02 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It will be a very different image than they are used to seeing from me. I am a bit worried about the results. Perhaps it would just be best if no one noticed...
panspermia: (★ Let's count that a success)

[personal profile] panspermia 2016-02-02 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno what the odds are of that. [ He can't pretend it won't be a shock to some people. ] I think most people will get curious. It's good to remind people there's more than what's going on on the surface.
nibelungvalesti: (considering a thing)

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2016-02-03 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe, but you know my image is an asset to us. Breaking that image may damage its worth... or people may understand that how I present is a little less complex than how I am.

[...not THAT much less, honestly. But growing more so every day.]

I am worried that after what we have been through, it will complicate things further. But I hope that is not the case.
panspermia: (★ How this works)

[personal profile] panspermia 2016-02-05 07:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ As little as Greg likes the idea of cheesecake and fanservice in place of personality and passion, he has to recognize the validity in her concerns.

His arm around her squeezes, briefly. He can't let their band's trend continue with her. He just couldn't take it.
]

You're going to be incredible. That's all I know for sure. People will see that.

[This is perhaps a downside to their newfound relationship: Meril has no capacity to tantalize him, considering exposure has rendered him immune to her looks. Then again, she has no idea how to do such things anyway.]

You cannot help but be charming, can you, Greg?
panspermia: (★ I have no friends ;D)

[personal profile] panspermia 2016-02-07 09:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, he'd find the look way more tantalizing if she picks it out herself. It's now what you wear, it's how you wear it. Or, that's Greg's excuse for his fairly plain style, anyway. ]

I can try to stop, if you want.

You would probably only hurt yourself. [Smiling, as she could do with him there, she pats him on the head in a pretense of consolation.]

[ He gives a dramatic sigh. ] I tried to warn you, it's a curse. Now I've got you trapped. Beauty and the Beast.

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2016-02-09 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Which one of us is which, Greg?
panspermia: (★ I have no friends ;D)

[personal profile] panspermia 2016-02-12 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm flattered you had to ask.

[She bequeaths on him a small, warm smile.] Well, according to rumor you may be a werewolf...
panspermia: (★ These things are expensive)

[personal profile] panspermia 2016-02-13 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ He can't help but grin even wider at that. He's genuinely ecstatic about that song. Even with effort, he can't hide his smile. ] I never planned on being outed like that. I didn't want you to learn that truth about me so soon.

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2016-02-15 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I will be honest, Greg. I realized you were a particularly rambunctious puppy a long time ago.
