“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.” |

He catches sight of the long hair, the familiar body language.
Yup, that's Squalo alright.
He looks around, trying to think of the best way to get the Varia's Rain's attention. His eyes settle on an old baseball that someone left on the ground.
He picks it up, winds up for the toss, and throws. Right at Squalo's head.
"Watch out!" he shouts and runs after the ball at leisurely pace. Well, for him anyways.
no subject
He snaps around angrily, because that careless voice is goddamn familiar too, and growls. "A bit fucking late for that, don't you think?!"
...and then he does a double-take. Did that guy just shrink?
no subject
He remembered what Mammon had said, how they were using his form to talk to Squalo. That could mean either his current form or the older form they encountered in the future.
Though it looked like he was going to find out. He cocked his head. "Hey, I know you from somewhere, don't I?"
He was wondering how he should play this. With Tsuna he ignored everything was told to do and flat out told his Boss that he was here for him. Dino, he pretended he didn't know the Cavallone boss.
What to do with Squalo?
no subject
PUNCHED THE BOY IN THE FACE WITH THE GODDAMN BASEBALL.
Or tried to, at least.
'Cause the little shit was clearly playing with him.
no subject
"Hey Squalo," he said, voice thick with fondness.
no subject
"Did you shrink?" he finally says, voice drippling with doubt.
no subject
"I'm sorry I'm late, but I'm here now."
no subject
"You seem to think you're explaining yourself, but you're really not."
no subject
He shrugged. "I don't know why, but they did it to get closer to you and help you remember where you came from."
no subject
"Illusion? I wouldn't fall for that." And he frowns. If he was back to normal, he'd probably ask what the fuck possessed Mammon to think he'd trust Yamamoto more than them, but as is he's got no idea how correct or in correct that is. "Weird choice," he just grumbles, as if it's Yamamoto's fault somehow.
no subject
"I'm probably one of the more normal looking people in your life. That and I'm your student."
He smiles again, thinking of the camp out future Squalo took him on. That had been a lot of fun.
no subject
He's not really questioning the brainwashing part anymore. He knows enough to know its true, though it doesn't quite explain the rest.
no subject
Bomb dropping worked for Tsuna, maybe it'll work for Squalo too.
no subject
"No," he states bluntly and frowns. "That does sound like something I would do, though."
no subject
"Remember this?"
no subject
no subject
Of course this didn't deter Yamamoto. "That's alright." He put the necklace back into his shirt and went back to beaming at Squalo. "I'm sure there's something about me you remember. Like baseball!"

He looks around for any kind of impromptu weapon. Unfortunately, as fate would have it in Rome, the most similar thing in the area is a crucific hanging on someone's door.
With no hint of god-fearing, Squalo rips it off and stabs Yamamoto in the stomach with the long end. He's fast, almost too fast to see, but it doesn't have the usual force behind it. Playing cello hadn't done much to preserve his strength.
no subject
"See?" he said, pushing the cross away. Being Shinto-Buddhist (and not a particularly devout one) he doesn't really now the importance of the crucifix other than it is the symbol of the Christian Faith. "You knew I would be able to stop that!"
He smiled, rubbing his stomach, and took a step back. "Anyways, I'm just letting you know that I'll see you in Moscow."
