“Oh, will you break my fall When I climb too high? I always lose my nerve, It happens every time.” ☆LOVE AND TRUST  After the disaster that was the beginning of the World Tour, things from there have proceeded innocently enough in comparison. Virgo ended up being able to pull its act into some semblance of order before the festival finished, and so the magic on their side was not entirely lost. Things are tense, however, for anybody who has an idea of the stuff going on upstairs. Whatever is going on, Pride is in the lead by a landslide, and the desperation is present in the managers and the execs alike. Lesedi, however, couldn’t be happier. In fact, she is getting cockier by the day. Her plans with Lapis went wonderfully, and wherever the gem is now is irrelevant. Barring any major disasters, she is increasingly certain of her defeat of Virgo, and is encouraging her elite members of take potshots at them any chance they get. (This includes her beginner music mages.) The beginning of the month is spent with both labels visiting a lot of very familiar locations across Americana - most of which are places they will have visited in the past. The routes are very similar to the ones the first bands took during their opening tours last summer. As for the rescuers, now is the time to regroup. It’s not practical to follow the musicians to ever stop they make, but Shep has apparently enabled his spaceship with a cloaking device, and will be taking all the rescuers and free musicians to the major tour centers of each continental tour - the headline festivals, each lasting for days, and each carrying an important role in the ongoing ritual. That’s what Silver thinks, at least. As some of the rescuers may now know, Gold has apparently gone solo. ☆EUROPA TOUR As the Americana portion of the tour comes to a close around the 25th of May, both labels will be finishing up in Britain and heading on into the conglomerate of Europa. All of these cities are basically what they are like IRL except about 50 years more future-like, and you have full creative liberty to make up some developments to the local culture and worldbuild because this is the last time these places will ever be mentioned meaningfully!THE OFFICIAL STOPS: Paris (May 30th - 31st), Berlin (June 1st - 2nd), Madrid (June 3rd - 6th), Istanbul (June 7th - 8th), Rome (June 9th - 10th), Vienna (June 11th - 12th) THE HEADLINER: Moscow (June 12th - 17th) The festival in Moscow is much like the festival in Vista City - a musical blowout to end all blow outs. The two labels festival grounds are practically blending together at this point, almost as if fighting for physical territory along with fighting for the attention of the crowds. The thick energy of magic follows the tour like a comet’s tail. ► RESCUER PROMPT: Instead of cutting through all of the earlier stops, Shep loads all the rescuers up into the now-cloaked spaceship and will bring them to Moscow, the last step in the Europa tour path and the place they’ll be stopping the longest. Silver has been saying that the lot of them should start working on freeing captives at all costs, especially now that the labels are on the road and increasingly disorganized. Shep has gotten together a bunch of new material for disguises as well as more holo projectors - a lot of them have been spotted at this point, but if they can get close to the musicians and catch the labels off guard it could be their best hope of bunging up the rituals for both of them. Meanwhile, Gold is obviously absent from the team, and some may have seen their former leader essentially announce their intent to leave during their fight with Lapis. Silver and Shep seem to have been avoiding talking about it, but occasionally it will be referenced in public places and the conversation will turn rapidly tense. ► MUSICIAN PROMPT: Everything is more or less business as normal, except for the pressure of the tour seems to be causing all the authority figures to lose their minds, especially in Virgo. Beyond that, though, it’s all deceptively the same. Both labels stop in the various cities and put on their best show, only stopping briefly to enjoy the local culture. Everyone is under very careful watch, however, no matter where they are. No one leaves the performance areas without an escort - it’s clear that both labels are desperate to hang on to musicians at this point. The gravity of the situation is increasingly obvious. Both labels have been booked into the same hotel this time, which is essentially a castle in Moscow. It’s every bit as lavish as you would expect, and it’s easy to get distracted from the stress with the luxuries that are offered at every turn. The consistent sense of desperation that Virgo has running through it at the moment is totally absent in Pride - Lesedi seems like she’s in an absolutely fantastic mood. ► FESTIVAL PROMPT: The festivals crowds are bigger than anything you’ve ever seen. Rescuers will easily be lost in a crowd, and musicians will be followed by a detour of body guards that honestly feel needed for reasons besides imprisonment. The stages are colourful and elaborate in set up. The musical event goes on for three full days, and most of everyone’s time will be spent backstage or in their hotels. Rescuers will have to do their best to keep up. ☆BLANCHE MAKES A MOVE In the wake of Virgo falling behind, Edward Blanche has come up with a magical scheme of his own. Using the soul crystal of pure love from Greg Universe and pure duty from Meril, he has been devising a ritual - and with any luck, it take out two birds with one stone.Greg and Meril, having mostly lost their real personalities after having parts of their souls torn out and crystalized, will be set up in a central location in the hotel, after the performances on the last night in Moscow. They’ll be set up to play music, and while that music is playing it will be reaching out to all of the rescuers, whether they can hear it or not. This music is going to trigger the love and duty within their own souls, and direct it to a particular cause - a sudden and desperate need to save their friends, family, or other sympathetic souls from the labels. And the need to do it tonight. This will hit them particularly hard if they are naturally of a love or duty alignment, but it will have an effect regardless. How much it gets them exactly is up to you. Virgo’s musicians will be protected very heavily during the ritual, as Blanche is expecting the attack. His hope is to lure rescuers in and kill or capture them, having the advantage of foresight. He’s also hoping that the rescuers will go after the less protected musicians of Pride and steal them away from Lesedi, who isn’t aware that this is happening. If things go well for Blanche, both the rescuers and Pride will take a major hit, all in one go. Why not let your enemies destroy each other? Player participation in this can go two ways: one is that your character can simply go after any of the musicians you choose, and you can work out between the players and the mod how well it goes. Alternatively, you can have your character go to the heart of the matter and try to take on Greg and Meril. The tricky part? Blanche is going to be overseeing the ritual as well. However, without the focuses of Greg and Meril’s soul crystals, the ritual will fail. Also, there will absolutely be a few opportunistic ghosts looking for the opportunity to give everyone a hand. Communication with the mod is key for this event! Please run by plans to have any musicians successfully escape by me before going through with it, and also do let me know if you’d like the ghosts to help out! This can absolutely be combined with other player plots, such as the Pride break out initiative that’s been floating around. The night of the ritual is June 17th, so take some time to plan things out, and then get threading. Let me know if you need help setting any scenes! “Oh will you bring me home When I'm barely alive? It's the state of love and trust, And this is for you, And this is for us.” |
Garnet | May ??-June 16
[London's...a bit more problematic. She's supposed to have lived here, grown up here. Been a native child. She knows she's not, and has done her best to rectify that when she takes her friends sightseeing.
She...has moments where her attempt to memorize places beforehand...didn't work out as well as she'd hoped.]
And see, that building is...er...
...
Um. Its just a building with a clock and lots of people in it. We don't need to go check it out.
[DON'T QUESTION HER THIS IS TOTALLY THE TRUTH.]
Paris | OTA
[Ah, yes. Paris. City of Love! Garnet feels like this is a place she can relax in. Indeed, she has plenty of bodyguards now which at least help her when she's out and about, looking at the sights, marveling at the culture, and of course, shopping. She's getting presents for everyone who she considers an ally or friend. Or family.
And, because of her standing and money, she can actually get entire stores to herself and whoever she wants, after hours, to shop for anything. You guys want in? You know you do. Expense is not a problem for Garnet, anymore. Her agent will still complain about anything he deems pointless to buy, though.
Actually, full stores to herself and her friends seem to be a pattern in nearly every city she's in. Save Vienna. Sadly.]
Berlin & Madrid | OTA
[The G-Train continues. That's what they're calling her. The G-Train. Its an ok nickname. She's taking time off to go to a museum in the afternoon in both cities, covered in a dome to protect it and the antiquities from decay. In Berlin, she's standing in front of a giant blue wall - a complete reconstruction of some ancient gate or something. In Madrid, its the Mona Lisa.
Its amazing. And the curators are even letting her go up and touch it. Its...cold.]
Wow...
[Its like this for the other exhibits. Anyone who comes up to her - who she can vouch for, and if her agent lets them - will be invited to also get hands on with the antiquities.]
Istanbul & Rome | OTA
[The Hagia Sophia. The Colosseum. What do they have in common? Garnet's playing her headlining concerts in both. All-out, to a packed and screaming crowd, Garnet and Cosmic Indulgence meets history and culture, and tears it all down.]
Hey man, oh leave me alone you know-
Hey man, oh Henry, get off the phone, I gotta-
Hey man, I gotta straighten my face-
This mellow thighed chick just put my spine out of place!
[Istanbul and Rome are also places for history and culture, sightseeing and shopping. Its getting hard to do it, though. Fans swarm wherever she is, and even the state police are having a hard time keeping them all away. Only her agent seems to know where to take her when things get too rough.]
Vienna | OTA
[A taste of what's to come - Garnet's practically trapped in the hotel both days of her time here, unless she needs to perform, which she does with a police escort to and from the hotel. No shopping, no museums. It was just too crazy.
Oh, and the crowd around the hotel? Insane, with screaming and chanting for Garnet all night long. Good luck sleeping, everyone!]
Moscow | OTA
[Garnet knows nothing of any ritual. Garnet, if anything, is one of the most, if not the most, protected star in the world. Which does give her some peace of mind, when they come to Moscow. Even with the screaming crowds surrounding her, Garnet knows she'll be all right.
She looks over the things she got from the tour, thus far, each night. Anyone who knocks on the door will be let in, whether or not her protective agent vets them. Though, as always, if her agent doesn't like you, consider your time in the room...limited.]
Paris
He's hoping that one is just dreams being dreams.
And he's buying what he wants, lots of red and black and metal. A mannequin at the border to a women's clothing section makes him do a double-take, though. It's wearing a light blue and white tiered dress, a white shirt underneath, and a wide-brimmed hat, appropriate for the hot summer sun. In the back of his mind he can hear a girl calling his name, and almost see her smiling. She has long dark hair, and bangs. She's far from a high-maintenance kind of girl, he can tell. The kind that would cook you dinner with a smile, probably.
He suddenly had a craving for fried shrimp.
In the end, he stopped staring and went back to shopping.
He starts laughing at a particularly awful pattern on a shirt. It's green, teal, and blue paisley patchworked with denim. Oh it's expensive as hell, but that doesn't stop it from being ugly as sin.]
Hey Garnet! [He holds it up to share this terrible with her, caring not one whit about the hurt feelings of the staff.]
no subject
[She walks over, bemused.]
...Don't tell me you plan on getting that for yourself!
[Good god what is that shirt.]
no subject
eyehead.] Hell no. I want to burn it.no subject
Let's take a selfie with it.

London
Maybe we should've got you a travel book before we got here.
no subject
...I did get one. Is it working?
Madrid
Garnet? Oh, wow, I never thought I'd run into you here. [He gave a sheepish smile as he rubbed the back of his neck.] I can leave if you'd like?
no subject
[What the--]
Do I know you?
no subject
Um, sorry, you might not remember me, but I bumped into you awhile ago. I didn't know you were visiting the museum. I didn't mean to interrupt just wanted to say I've enjoyed the shows and looking forward to the other ones.
[He gave a little smile as he started to walk over to the other section of the museum. He couldn't risk being seen as suspicious. He wondered if she was tired like the last time he saw her.]
no subject
[She does seem tired, but nowhere near as out of it as when they last met. She certainly seems more sincere.]
