☆A little little fun

Who: Those who signed up to perform, and anyone else
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.

[Brad's Diner is hurting for business, and what would be a better base of potential customers than attendees of a low-cost concert? They'll need more business if Minako ever wants that lucrative serving job, so she's volunteered to hawk their goods today!

Enter 'Di', the charming young employee with the long braided hair. She's eagerly winking at passersby.]


Hey, you feeling up for a pick-me-up? We've got free samples of Brad's super-scrumptious milkshakes! Chocolate, strawberry, peanut butter, mint, peach, and loads more. Buy one and we'll throw in a free cookie for all you sweet folks!

[Yeah, she's really rather loud and bubbly about her sales pitches, bouncing close. In between her attempts at selling, she can be seen attempting to hum along to all the songs. Her heart still aches for those poor musicians, but they're great at what they do.]

[Oh look. Here's "Nora", appearing from somewhere in the food stands, though she doesn't have anything in her hands aside from her sketchbook. There's a pencil tucked behind her ear and a smile on her face though.]

Hello Di. Have you had many customers?
hearted: (silly)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-02-02 05:41 am (UTC)(link)
Not yet, but it's still early! We're not even halfway through the setlist yet.

[She won't give up. She smiles and picks up a glass.]

Want a sample? I've got banana, peanut butter, vanilla, and chocolate right now.
linkthismemory: ([Art]-They really just)

[personal profile] linkthismemory 2016-02-02 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods. She's fairly sure that Minako can manage to get people to buy something. She is very nice after all. She does look surprised at the offer and seems to pause to think about it, unsure which to try.]

Yes, please. Which one do you like best?
hearted: (number one!)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-02-02 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Here, how about some chocolate banana?

[She expertly mixes the two, giving out a sample that's just a bit bigger than she really should. And then she passes it over with a wink.]

We need lots of energy to cheer everyone on, right?
linkthismemory: ([Game]- I am the son I am the heir)

[personal profile] linkthismemory 2016-02-04 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I've never had it before.

[Namine takes the sample, and does take a drink, blinking rapidly in surprise once she has. It's good! Though, really she should have expected it. Minako seems to be quite excited about them.

She pauses and then her smile grows, and she speaks a little quieter.

We saw him. Well. We saw Sora. I haven't seen Roxas yet.

[She smiles softly and gathers up the strength to encourage.]

I think I remember him. Spiky hair, right? He looks like he's a really friendly guy! No wonder you miss him.

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-02-02 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
Di! [Usagi came up to hug Minako, careful of the tray as she looked at all the drinks. Aaaah they looked so good.]

Hmmmmmm what would you recommend? [She asked. They all look so good!]
hearted: (number one!)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-02-03 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
For you? Hmm, let's see!

[She giggles a little and juggles the tray to find...]

Strawberry-banana, I think. It's nice and sweet and full of energy!

[Also it's technically fruity, even if not quite as fruity as a smoothie. It counts.]
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (This is so exciting)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-02-03 09:33 am (UTC)(link)
I love strawberries!

[Well, Usagi loved all foods unless it was carrots. One too many rabbit jokes while growing up made her despise the orange vegetable. She took the sample and downed it instantly.]

Ah! This is really good! With how close you are to Thistle I'll have to come by during my lunch!
hearted: (silly)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-02-03 06:14 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a counter seat just for you, I'll make sure of it.

[She grins.]

So what do you think of the music? Lots of energy here, right?
lightthedarkness: (Usagi)(Luna) (Cheer up Luna!)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-02-04 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
You mean I get to watch the gorgeous waitress that wears a red bow? How can I resist!

Ah, it's all really good! [It made her miss Michiru, though.] You know, it's too bad there's not more classical, though. [Also Michiru's fault.] But I mean, maybe you should go show off at the karaoke stand!
hearted: (number one!)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-02-05 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[She giggles and blushes, but her voice lowers when she speaks again, saying words that are distinctly not like her.]

Eh, you think? What if there are talent scouts? I don't know if I'm ready to be that kind of star!

Braces for impact.

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2016-02-02 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[The passerby she's currently winking at pulls down her sunglasses and smiles cheerfully at the flirtatious blonde. Rei's dressed up in a nice red blouse, slacks, and a dark leather jacket. A Fukuoka Seahawks cap on her head, hair tied back in a long braid, she's not necessarily easy to pick out as Rei Hino. At least, that was the idea when Luce had made the disguise.

And her first thought is goodness! She's quite lovely! And her second is that yes, yes she does want a milkshake.]


Absolutely, I'll take a sample of peach, if you don't mind.

[personal profile] hearted 2016-02-03 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She is not prepared.

Minako's spinning on her heel with her tray perfectly balanced, prepared to charm this mysterious stranger with the best milkshake service ever!

But then that voice catches up to her. Warm, intriguing, and familiar. Her newest customer is in disguise too: it's her Rei, though now they're just two strangers hiding from the big world.

It's almost poetic. And Minako almost drops her drinks anyway, but she gathers enough of herself to force her smile back in place.]


Yes---yes of course miss! This'll be just peachy, I promise!

[Her smile becomes a little more genuine when she manages the dumb joke, and she proceeds to mix up a juicy 'sample' that is definitely not sample size. She even pops a little red umbrella in it.]

Here you go! Courtesy of Brad's Diner! Some call us pit-iful, but I hope this is a slice above the rest.

[That reaction stops her dead in her tracks. This girl...did she just...

Fuck, she recognized me, Rei mentally swears to herself, folding the sunglasses and just putting them in her pocket. If she was caught, she was caught and dear god that was a pun. That was...a lot of pun.

Allowing herself a little giggle, she meets the girl's eyes for a moment, confident enough that it was just recognition. She was at a concert, and her band was doing adverts here.

Still, may as well play along, if this girl wasn't going to call her out, then that was just fine with her. Brushing a stray lock behind her ear, she smiles and accepts the drink, though her free hand presses a five at the stranger.]


Thank you, miss. I'm sure it will be, but...don't get in trouble on my account. I'd like to pay.

[This isn't exactly a big deal to her. Paying, that is. She makes tons of money now, so accepting free drinks isn't really on the agenda. That definitely wasn't a sample]
hearted: (wistful)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-02-03 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
[It's so hard to keep herself in check. She wants to exude her love, to snatch Rei away from this right now, but she knows she mustn't. She takes a deep, grounding breath and smiles like an adoring fan playing it cool. She lowers her voice.]

But you use so much energy pleasing fans! You should get a break.

[And also Minako should break the managers' necks, but this isn't the time.]
faithfulflame: (Rei Skeptical)

[personal profile] faithfulflame 2016-02-03 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
[She really mustn't. Rei has no idea, she'd...probably break Minako in half for trying in a panic. She's still getting used to the strength of her arms, and even a perceived threat when she's as jumpy as she is would go over badly.]

It's only money. Take it. You probably need it more than I do. [It's true.]

Well...Brad's is in a bit of trouble...but I'm here to spread refreshment! It's really okay.

[She's plastering on a smile. There are many, many things that are not okay, and Rei's only privy to one of them.]

[FREE FOOD?! Pao-Lin eagerly skids to a stop in front of Minako's booth. She didn't perform today, but Minako may possibly recognize her as Rei's bandmate.]

How much are the shakes? And what kinda cookies are you giving out?

[It doesn't matter too much in the end, since Pao-Lin will try practically anything that's supposed to be edible.]
hearted: (silly)

totally cool!

[personal profile] hearted 2016-02-06 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah yes, this cutie did come up in her research on Rei's band, but she knows better than to expose idols who are looking for a break. She smiles widely.]

Two bucks, but here, try a sample! Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, banana, cookies and cream, peanut butter, strawberry, peach, orange?

And they pair great with any cookies. I've got snickerdoodle, chocolate chip, butter with strawberry jam, and frosted sugar.
i_am_not_cute: ((manga) dragon & ninja)

just saw Rei's mental reference to Pao-Lin up there ROFL

[personal profile] i_am_not_cute 2016-02-06 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
No special flavors for today?

[Pao-Lin, she's already offering free samples, what more do you want -- ]
hearted: (disguise failure)

She knows her bandmates too well!

[personal profile] hearted 2016-02-06 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, uh...let's see...

[She goes through their ingredients with a small frown.]

How about black raspberry? Or there's this birthday cake, or pumpkin cream...

[Minako no you can't just throw things into a blender.]
i_am_not_cute: ((manga) best ever!!!)

[personal profile] i_am_not_cute 2016-02-06 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh, I wanna try the pumpkin cream!

[Tiny god, please do not lead others into culinary sin.]
hearted: (hiya!)

[personal profile] hearted 2016-02-06 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Okay!

[Luckily the main ingredient is...pumpkin pie ice cream! She adds some extra cinnamon spice, and maybe some actual pumpkin pie for flavor, but as far as milkshakes go it's not the worst. Time to hit blend and watch the pale orange concoction come together.

Looking quite satisfied, she pours out a sample size and passes it.]


One pumpkin cream!
