☆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.

Why thank you. That's always wonderful to hear from a listener. And kudos to that friend of yours for spreading the love of classical music.

[He twirls the bouquet in his hands.]

I'm Doctor, as you already know. What may I call you miss?

Mmhmm! She's a violinist and her lover is a pianist. I adore listening to her play. It's like being submerged in a tidal wave of music.

[She gave a small little bow.]

My name is Serena Lapin! I won't keep you long from your other fans, though.

If they can play like that they should become professionals- if they aren't all ready.

It's great to meet you! Serena Lapin! That's a great name! Like something from a book. The Princess of the Rabbits perhaps.

[He wonders if this is the same girl Rei had mentioned earlier. Doctor says nothing about it. Still, Rei's strange feelings about her have him extra curious.]

Have you been to any of the Flowers Over Bones concerts before?
lightthedarkness: (Sailor Moon) (Me? Amazing?)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-02-03 10:04 am (UTC)(link)
Ah well- maybe. They just do it for the love of music, but I'll mention it to her when I see her.

[She blushed, waving a dismissive hand. HOW DID EVERYONE KNOW SHE WAS A PRINCESS?! She swallowed, trying to make sure that it came across as just being surprised at the silliness.] Thank you, though you should thank my parents.

[Somewhere, Gold and Silver were having mild panic attacks.]

Oh ah, no, not even one. I actually just moved to Vista, I'm still learning everything.

Not even one? Well we'll have to correct that. I'm sure I can conjure up a few tickets for you and a few friends. We have several new songs written that the band is itching to perform. [For one of Rei's mystery girls, anything.]

Welcome to Vista City by the way. The food is delicious, the culture is exciting and colorful, and the sunshine and ocean breeze make it all the better! Oh listen to me I'm starting to sound like a tour guide. I wonder what that would be like, working as a tour guide. Maybe on one of those open roof buses- that might actually be fun. [Rei has sat through countless silly Doctor-rambles by now.]
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (Tee hee)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-02-04 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Ah you don't have to do that, sir! [Especially since Rei pretty much was terrified of her. She didn't want it to seem like she was stalking Rei. Not when Rei barely wanted anything to do with her.] I couldn't ask that of you! Listening to the albums is enough.

[She liked to focus on the songs with violin solos, listening to Rei talk to her in a way she had never heard before.]

Thank you for the welcome. I'm still settling in, I just got a job and everything. Ah but you're really interesting to listen to, I think if I were to get a tour I'd want it from someone like you.

That's an idea- I might share some of my favorite places in the city with fans online. It's the next best thing to going out to show them around myself. It's much better in person though really, just about everything is better in person.

So Serena Lapin, what do you do for a living? A friendly lady like yourself, I'd imagine you'd excel in something that involves talking to others.

Me? Ah, I work at "Thistle Do Nicely: A Flower for Every Occasion!" I just started there, actually. Please feel free to come by and visit! If not me then someone will give you the best possible service, Mrs. Ophelia is the owner and I don't there's anyone who knows more about flowers than her. She's owned it for decades.
trustme: The Doctor interested (interested)

[personal profile] trustme 2016-02-11 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be sure to stop by then! I'd like to see what flowers you have. I'm impressed you had Adonis in stock! [ He holds up the bouquet she gave him. ]

Though I do hear more and more about the flower being requested and carried by shops lately. [ Gee I wonder why. ]
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (Tee hee)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2016-02-13 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
We have our own private green house rather than getting it from any supplier. Mrs. Opehlia, she's the owner, got sick and tired of the quality from the various nurseries so she just decided to grow her own. We have a green house on location and one further outside the city for big orders like weddings or parties.

And we have every Flower over Bones flower. Mrs. Ophelia is a huge fan of you. [She was, actually.] She says you're adorable and she only wishes she were 20 years younger.
trustme: (hello there)

[personal profile] trustme 2016-03-04 08:45 am (UTC)(link)
Home grown so to speak! Very impressive! I like the sound of this shop more by the minute.

You'll have to tell Mrs. Ophelia that I'll be coming by to visit soon. I'd like to get a bouquet of my band's flowers from you.
