☆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.

[Aaah! Sudden huh! Still not accustomed to this sort of thing, Meril stiffens, but luckily Doctor releases her before she can get too defensive about it all.]

[Well aware that he means no harm, she musters his dignity back about her and directs a small smile his way.]


I am glad you liked it.
trustme: The Doctor smiling (smiling gladly)

Like it? I love it! You really captured a piece of me in a song- nobody has ever done that before. I've never experienced someone else writing about me. I'm lucky you were the one to do it!

That and you have a nice voice. Very pleasing to the ear. I'm surprised you're not a back up vocalist for Defying Atmosphere.
nibelungvalesti: (and I ruuuuuun)

You may have perhaps noticed that my unreserved singing style is not particularly in keeping with my general image.

[TO SAY THE LEAST.]
trustme: (neutral or observing)

[personal profile] trustme 2016-02-11 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
Different from usual isn't necessarily bad. I don't see why there would be a problem. You were lovely up there. I'm sure others will agree.
nibelungvalesti: (sadness)

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2016-02-11 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
When one depends more on one's image than one's playing in normal business, it can be bad. I hope nothing untoward comes of it.

[ Doctor pulls his phone out from his pocket and wiggles it between his fingers. ]

Well I have let the world know that I thought your performance was wonderful and I am sure many people have already agreed. Keep that in mind if anyone complains and accuses you of being just a pretty face.

[ Some of Meril's fanbase sounds... like unfortunate people to have following her. ]

Especially if someone who claims to support you says so.

[Considering her image sells her sex appeal rather than her skill, 'some' may be understating the matter.]

So long as I do not steal your fans away, I am sure no one will complain about your endorsement. Although I hope anyone who comes to listen to us will not be disappointed by my performance on keyboard as opposed to vocals.

Steal fans away! [ He laughs at that thought. ] You just sang about one of the subjects they like- no harm in them becoming fans of both of us. And I think Greg's vocals will hook those who stop to give Defying Atmosphere a listen.
nibelungvalesti: (angry look)

Not all fans are rational and reasonable, much as we might wish them otherwise.
trustme: Doctor giving a face palm (face palm)

[personal profile] trustme 2016-03-04 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, yes, yes. That's too true! We'd all be saved a great deal of trouble if they were. So many people getting pushed around in lines and insulted for forgetting another celebrity's birthday. On one hand I like the fame because I like entertaining others and the feeling of success. On the other hand we're just regular human beings! We don't need the ground we walk on kissed like we're gods.
nibelungvalesti: (sadness)

[personal profile] nibelungvalesti 2016-03-04 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. {Her faint exhalation is much like a sigh.] And let us not forget the unpleasant ramifications of body pillows and such forth...
trustme: Doctor giving a face palm (face palm)

[personal profile] trustme 2016-03-07 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Body pillows- oh! [ His face scrunches up. ] I had erased that from my mind after hearing about those. And I thought the things that have been done to cardboard cutouts were odd.

I have few of those, fortunately. Something about the size. [Life-size, and they are simply too small. Bigger, and fans rail about the incorrect size. There are few advantages to being her height, but this is one of them.]
