☆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.

Yeah! I guess it all sort of depends on what our managers say though, right? Or even the CEOs... My manager is pretty lenient though so he might let us do charity gigs more often.

[Mr. Patil is lenient and also stoic, it was hard to read his feelings about stuff, so it's really just a guess about what he'd be okay with them doing.]

... I'm not sure about my manager. It fits our image, but... I don't think she likes change.

[ It has been long since Ivan started to distrust her, started to not confide in her as much. After the holiday party gone horribly wrong, his band had the worry that Ms. Angel is in on it too. ]

Hmm...

[Sora considers an alternative, just in case Ivan's manager doesn't let him do more charity stuff.]

I guess we could always just do volunteer work on our own time, like not with our bands. Oh! Or like go sing for people who don't usually get to see music stuff live, you know? Who are having a rough time? Like, people in a hospital or something.

[ Ivan's voice drops to just above a whisper. He hopes no one who'd tell on him can hear. ]

If the label doesn't want us to do something... it's kind of hard to go against that. I mean, I don't know if Ms. Angel would be against it, but if she was, then there's not much we can do.
consocius: ([what]; huh?)

[personal profile] consocius 2016-03-02 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[The shift into an unmistakably serious tone surprises him, and he blinks at Ivan for a moment.]

I... I guess, yeah. But it's not like I'm saying we go sell our own music on the side or anything, just performing for people. Why would anyone get mad about that?

It's... just a feeling I get.

[ He laughs nervously, trying to push the issue aside. He already feels like he's said too much. ]

I don't want to press my luck with them. The fact that I've gotten this far feels like a dream.
