“I think I'm drowning. Asphyxiated. I wanna break this spell That you've created. You're something beautiful; A contradiction. I wanna play the game. I want the friction.” ☆THIS FIXATION  The start times of the festivals are very explicit. The first notes are to be played at 5:55 PM – no sooner, and no later. This has been enforced by every recital leading up to this point, and today the word is law. The audience view it as a peculiarity. How could both labels independently decide to do something so particular? Those on the stage will feel it in their hearts. There’s more to it than just another concert. Something is happening, bigger than all of you, and something deep down tells you that you are powerless to stop it now. There’s a momentum that’s been building for centuries, and only now will the show truly begin. Those with magical, spiritual, or musical sense will feel it strongly. The magic of it is thick in the air, enveloping the entirely of Vista within its breadth. The music begins, and a terrible tension in the air finally breaks. In that precise moment, something has been released – and there is no going back from here. ☆THE SHORT AND DIRTY The ritual has finally begun. So let's break this down.► The same moment the festivals begin, and occult magical ritual has been set in motion. That special time window that the labels were waiting for? This is it. Why the number 5 is so important we may never know, but the key thing to note is that the force of musical power behind the labels are now multiplying, and will only be getting stronger the longer the ritual goes on. Those with Fame Power abilities will feel more and more potent as time goes on as well. Magical juice will come easier and they will get bigger magical effects for their effort. ► The festival will begin with the labels biggest acts, so only a few of the player characters will be on stage at that point. Veteran musicians will start things off on a high note, and the rest will be lined up and ready for a seemingly unending roll of music all through the night and into the entirety of Friday and Saturday. Friday has been deemed a city wide public holiday because that’s how seriously Vista takes its music. Fledgling bands with characters of Fame Power 4+ or Fame Fortune 4+ will have the honour of being part of the first wave of performances, all starting at 5:55PM. This is a seriously big deal. So don’t fuck up. ► Very shortly after the beginning of the festival, Lesedi Santiago is going to fuck everything up for you. ☆LESEDI FUCKS THINGS UP And this is how Lesedi will fuck things up: she's getting Lapis Lazuli to do it for her.Lapis was recently captured by Pride Records while trying to sneak out information to the rescuers. She has been powerfully enchanted by Lesedi to attack and kill Virgo musicians and Rescuers alike, and her water powers will be temporarily enhanced by feeding off of Lesedi's magic. Lapis is being sent to attack Virgo musicians first - ideally disrupting as many Virgo performances as possible and FUBARing Blanche's ritual right from the get go. Juno will quickly regroup and start sending Virgo's magical adepts to try to stop her, while keeping as many of them on stage as possible. Meanwhile, this is all occurring in broad fucking daylight. So what do the civilians think? Well, they'll be scared and try to save themselves from any attacks they get caught in the middle of, but otherwise...it's like they've been reduced to zombies. None of them seem capable of acknowledging that anything weird is happening - the only thing they can focus on is the music, and as long as it continues their minds are ensnared. Rescuers who have been heavily effected by the brainwashing of the musical singles may also feel entranced by the music at the concert as well, and may have a similar lack of survival instinct. They'll be drawn to the music regardless of all else, up to and including the risk of death. Lapis's player has been planning out a variety of fight threads in advance, but since Lapis as the ability to create a lot of collateral damage, people can also be free to assume that they are trying to save civilians from surprise water hazards as this goes on, or simply trying to survive themselves. We will be assuming there are no deaths caused by Lapis unless it is cleared with her player first. This includes random audience members. This will go on for a while, until eventually Lapis is chased away from the festival and goes to attack the rescuer warehouse with the chip removal equipment instead. Silver will sent out an urgent message warning the rescuers of this, urging them to get over there as quickly as possible and help to remove the equipment and take it to a safe place. Silver themselves will not arrive immediately, and Gold is still nowhere to be seen - at least, not until the very end, when they will make a surprise return appearance to help attend to the Lapis Lazuli problem. “Now that you know I'm trapped- Sense of elation. You'd never dream of Breaking this fixation. You will squeeze the life out of me.” |

She didn't want to go home to find Cthulu waiting, okay?

"They're both dead, we defeated them all together, Pharaoh 90 took all nine of us, Nemesis was just the Inner Senshi. We've defeated all of our enemies who have come to hurt the earth and solar system."

The... catastrophe she prevents thus making her and Endymion king and queen of Earth again, she doesn't know what it is this time, though, only that it doesn't happen until her early 20s.
"But we've always been able to achieve everything together, that's why the brooches changed into hearts, to show our unity."

And she blushed faintly, thinking back to what had spurred that memory to return.
"Anyway. It'll come. As will all things."

Though, she wondered if Rei would consider it home.
"Just... just in case, though, should something happen, something that feels beyond you as you are, just... if you remember that crystal I told you about, try and call for that, Rei, and it will help in amazing ways, it always has."

"I'll try. I don't really know what I'm trying to sense, but if it's like the fire, control will come in time. I...hope I won't need it though."

She took a deep breath, leaning against the car seat.
"I'm sorry if it all sounds like so much, weird... aliens and magic and crystals sounds a bit much when it's not something you've grown up accepting."

Rei's voice was firm on that point. Solid, steady, and certain as always.
"And it's no stranger than musical magic, or Blanche and Lesedi's ability to teleport, or Doctor's psychic powers, Ivan's shapeshifting, and Pao-Lin's electrical powers. And Luce's fire magic. Or...whatever it is she has. That was a little confusing."

"Ah, I guess that is true," she had only found out about everyone powers and abilities after she got them to the warehouse but it had been part of Rei's "full disclosure" though, the damage was done. Ivan and possibly (probably) wanted nothing to do with her. She was sure Rei wasn't happy she wasn't getting along with her family.
"It's... it's upsetting to know just how much was taken from all of you. There is no talking to Lesedi and Blanche," she always wanted to try talking but... "It's going to take all of us to stop them."
no subject
"It is," Rei said as they drove off into the night. "Get some rest. I'll wake you when we're at the apartment."
