When looking at the sky tonight
Who: Garnet, accompanied by Cosmic Indulgence, OPEN
What: Garnet's gone solo. Things are changing, including Garnet herself.
When: Second week of April
Where: Various places in Vista City
Warnings: None for the moment
A. Never Alone (OPEN)
Anyone who knows Garnet's routines might notice that they've started to change in the past few weeks. Its been subtle, or was at first. Koumei's "release" from the label made the changes become a little more obvious.
Namely, people might have become aware that Garnet's schedule included less and less time with her band, particularly in public. This isn't an oversight. People who know how the industry works will tell you, this is a sign. Garnet's gotten too big for the band. Its only a matter of time before it becomes official. She won't be with her band indefinitely.
What she is with, now, is her agent. A very chipper, almost annoying little slip of a lady who will talk anyone's ear off if they come near Garnet. Her accent is Southern and her make up perfect. She'll give suggestions as to things Garnet can do if she's not doing them, fields questions from nosy people with clever deflections, and gently pushes away anyone she doesn't like near her client. But that's not the worst thing.
The worst thing is that as time goes by, Garnet seems less and less worried about stopping her from doing her job. Its part of what needs to be done, right? This is not for her. This is for those she cares about. Now that the attention is on her, as long as she does this, no one else will need to be hurt.
Right?
B. Alone on the Stage, OPEN
Garnet's been playing everywhere. Alone. Quite a lot. And the crowd loves it. Adores it. Will take offense if anyone tries to get on stage with her, even. Not that it should stop other musicians from trying to do a duet with her, right? Garnet's been known to do impromptu duets and they were always good!
Its just that those nobodies just have to accept they're not the ones the crowd came to see. And if they try to upstage Garnet during the duet, or really anytime during the performance, well, the crowd will let them know how they feel. Violently if need be.
Not Garnet. At least, not in front of the public. But the stormclouds are brewing in her eyes, oh annoying interloper. And once she drags you backstage, you're going to regret it.
C. Alone in the Cosmos, CLOSED to Cosmic Indulgence
They were only in one picture for the magazine photoshoot. They had to wait in the normal line to enter the clubs and gigs they were supposed to be playing at. They were shoved aside whenever Garnet entered the room - that is, if they were even playing in the same room. Their official status was "on-call, as needed by Garnet"; they otherwise stewed in the penthouse while Garnet made the rounds with live appearances on TV. Commercials. There were rumors of a movie called "Doctor of Keytarnomics" that she'd star in.
Oh, and the World Tour announcement band line-up name? Garnet, accompanied by Cosmic Indulgence. She had veto power over songs and costumes for the tour. And she was getting ready to move all of her stuff to her seaside home - if the band wanted to make official recordings, they would have to do it at her studio, according to Garnet's new agent, as relayed to their agent.
What the hell was happening to the band's mother figure?

His guitar riff kicks into a higher gear, and he accepts her invitation with--well, perhaps he intended an appreciative nod, but it comes out more like tossing his hair before he gets into it.
" What you want, what you got,
Live your life in a crawlspace.
I'll help you out,
But you don't want a chance
at a better life!"
The crowd's energy is swelling, and he can feel their excitement. It's exhilarating, life-affirming. This is what he's always wanted.
" You said you'd never take a ride,
And now you wanna play?!
Well it's a big big city,
Let me show you around sometime! "
no subject
"And now you crossed that line
You can't come back
Tell me how does it feel now
It's too late too much to forget about
Can't stop now
How does it feel now
I'm only asking because I wanna know
How...you...wanna...feel!!"

Greg Universe is on stage. Squaring off against the Squarehead Queen herself.
This is too good. This is too amazing. This is . . . AWESOME..
The DA fanclub stares at each other with veritable stars in their eyes, and almost seemingly of one mind, yank up their phones and begin Twittering furiously.
The energy in the air is almost palpable. They're riding the wave! In between tweets, they continue to stare up at the stage like overgrown boys at Christmas, screaming encouragement with the rest of the teeming crowd.
Awesome. Too awesome.

No werewolf wanna was going to get the better of their goddess Garnet! In response, the Garnet fans in the crowd began to scream their approval, just as loud, if not louder, than Greg's fans. They, also, began to tweet in lockstep, to the presence of the interloper daring to duet with their beloved keytarist.
You want a competition, Defying Atmosphere fans?
You got it!
no subject
and Garnetat the center. Within minutes, #CosmicAtmosphere is trending. She wouldn't be getting anything like this if he hadn't shown up."I'm a wreck, I'm a mess,
I'm a spot on the pavement!
I'm a number on your wall,
I'll make your soul tired."
no subject
and Gregon stage together! Its hard to believe that She's giving the werewolf this much exposure, but it must be helping him, right? Surely. He can thank her later."And I don't think I like this game no more
It goes around and round and round
I'll tell you one more time
Yeah, one more time!!"
no subject
They want DOMINATION.
Actually, mostly they were just riding the wave, absolutely gleeful about Greg's showdown, snapping pictures and video left and right and posting them to the interwebs.
But now.
Oh, now, hearing the primal call of their arch-nemesis rivals . . .
IT'S SO ON.
One member, intrepid, clambers onto another's shoulders, which raises him up above thee rest of the crowd. Up there, he hollers for all he's worth, flashing victory symbols. The others on the ground join together with him like a pack of wolves raising a howl.
See those sideways smug looks, Squareheads? That's the battle cry. It's on. Let's get this started. Who's the better set of fans in the end?

Forget trying to get on top. Garnet's keytar solo reminds her fans that she's already gotten there!
And now you crossed that line
You can't come back
Tell me how does it feel now
It's too late too much to forget about
Can't stop now
How does it feel now
I'm only asking because I wanna know
How...you...wanna...feel
How...you...wanna...feel
How...you...wanna...feel!!

Whatcha got, Squareheads? Nothing?? They thought so.
Greg's music is filling them with power, and nothing's gonna stop them now.
