☆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.

Hello there! [A younger audience member hm? Always nice to see a variety of people made it to the event.]

Are you enjoying the concert? I know I am!

[There's a moment of hesitation, as the child's eyes dart off towards the stage and the other musicians, but they nod. Sure, let's say that.

Coming closer, they pull out a notebook and hand it to him. The first page just has a signature from Greg Universe; on the second, they've written:]


I'm Frisk.
trustme: (hello there)

Nice to meet you Frisk, I'm The Doctor, from Flowers Over Bones.

[He points at the other page with the autograph.]

I see you've met Greg. Wonderful fellow isn't he? Very talented, very friendly. Are you a fan of Defying Atmosphere or maybe other musicians here tonight?
determinate: (❤ with a ribbon)

[Frisk grins and nods. They're not sure they'd say they're fans, because this whole thing is pretty creepy, but Greg's nice! They can agree about that!]

Are you a real doctor?
trustme: The Doctor smiling (smiling gladly)

No it's just a nickname the neighborhood kids gave me when I was younger. [ He taps the side of his head. ] I have a lot going on in here and apparently Doctor sounded a lot cooler and a lot more memorable as a name than my real one to a group of six through ten year olds.

Seems I'm getting an honorary degree from Julliard for my music though. That counts for something right?
determinate: (❤ dark-eyed)

[personal profile] determinate 2016-02-12 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Frisk does not know what Julliard is, but they nod. They wonder if the name is just something from his real life. Asking him won't help them figure it out, though.]

What is your real name?
trustme: The Doctor interested (interested)

[personal profile] trustme 2016-02-16 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ruairidh Smith. The other kids would get in arguments over how to pronounce it- it's a subtle difference between "Ruairidh" and "Rory." Who knew kids were so particular about vowels but I won't complain. It's especially important in some languages. One of them was a linguistics teacher in the making.

Doctor is much simpler.

Were there any other artists you were hoping to meet tonight? I can help you out with that.
determinate: (❤ human beings)

[personal profile] determinate 2016-02-16 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, pronunciation doesn't matter much to Frisk anyway.

They hesitate, glancing around. There's one real answer, but can they give it? Cautiously, they lift their pen and pad, then stop, then lift them halfway again, tapping the pen anxiously against the side of the notebook.

Then they put it in their pocket and sign, spelling it out with one hand:]


S-A-N-S

Sans? Oh yes, the fellow from Vandalism in Progress. I'm not familiar with him personally but I can try hunting him down for you. At least one of his bandmates must be around here somewhere...
determinate: (❤ with a ribbon)

[personal profile] determinate 2016-03-04 04:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, no, maybe that's not the best idea. Let's change the subject.]

You know sign?
trustme: (profile)

[personal profile] trustme 2016-03-07 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Sign... language?

[ He starts to move his hands and form words and letters. Yes. Yes it seems he does. Just as he had been tutored in so many of the world's languages as a child- in Virgo's version of his life. Where had he learned it all in reality, he wonders. ]
determinate: (❤ warmth)

[personal profile] determinate 2016-03-07 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Whatever its origins, Frisk perks up.]

Cool! I haven't met anybody who does since I moved here! ["Moved" is a last-minute correction, but it sounds better than "got". Any kid can move to a new city, right?]
