☆TRACK IV: COME TOO FAR

Who: Everyone!
What: Something explodes in the distance. In a figurative sense.
When: November 6th.
Where: Anywhere you are.
Warnings: ???

“Like the legend of the Phoenix,
All ends with beginnings,
What keeps the planets spinning,
The force from the beginning.”

☆COME TOO FAR
On November 6th, the sudden lockdown of Pride Records and Virgo Entertainment finally ends. But not before some unseen actions have their consequences.



Due to the nature of the conflict, none of you can be there to see it, but that doesn't mean it can't be felt. In the morning of the 6th, something cries out to you spiritually - like the voice of a guardian angel, or a haunting ghost. Something, somewhere, is calling on you for aid. Pleading for you to lend it your power.

Whether or not you consciously agree, you'll feel a connection stronger than anything you've felt up till this point, like whatever this creature is is somehow in the room with you, or maybe like you're with it. What happens next depends on your alignment.

► LOVE & HOPE: All at once, characters with these alignments will feel as if they have taken a deep, spiritual blow - much like having someone clasp their hand around your "soul" and attempt to snuff it out. The attack itself will be brutal but brief. It's the after effects that linger, which may be any of the following:

1) Lingering spiritual pain that triggers symptoms akin to a fever in the body. It may also trigger effects such as nosebleeds and other signs of intense stress.

2) Forgetting everything except the memories you've regained.

3) A feeling of being desperately alone. How your character reacts to this feeling can vary, but the most common response will be seeking comfort from anyone nearby, even if you are not usually the sort of person to do that.

These effects will last from anywhere as short at 15 minutes to as long as 5 hours. You can pick more than one of these effects for a character, but try to balance the potency of each if you take more than one, so you aren't completely kicking the shit out of them. Vestiges of these effects can linger throughout the rest of the day, but in a significantly reduced capacity.

► DUTY & PASSION: All at once, characters with these alignments will feel an intense sense of fear and grief, as if they have lost something extremely precious to them. Generally speaking, this will manifest as a sort of panic or desperation to save whatever that thing is - but not being entirely clear on where they have to go or what they have to do to accomplish it. This can very well trigger some brash and irrational actions as they sort out this abrupt feeling of urgency.

1) Soon after the feeling begins, affected characters will feel empathically drawn to the characters suffering from the effects listed for Hope & Love, even if they are not normally the sort to be so concerned for others. This can go as far as having them be aggressively protective to the point that they will conflict with each other over it.

2) Along with that feeling of being drawn to protect them, all characters will feel an intensified kinship with all the other player characters - from both labels. This feeling of kinship won't cause them to know anything more about each other than they did before, but it will cause them to feel like much closer friends than they actually are.

These effects will last from anywhere as short at 15 minutes to as long as 5 hours. After that period has ended, all these empathetic effects will fade off on their own.

Any network posts made in the chaos will be deleted by the execs after the 5 hours period has closed, if not sooner. By the end of the day, Lesedi Santiago and Edward Blanche will announce their return, and bans from leaving HQ will be lifted.

They will not acknowledge the events of the morning unless someone goes to ask them about it.

“We've come too far
to give up who we are.
So, let's raise the bar
and our cups to the stars.”

That sounds awesome.

[The enthusiasm is a little forced, but oreo espresso shakes are definitely something she can get behind.]

It seems like the little out of the way places always have the best stuff, you know?
punchesyu: (hangin' out and shiiiiii)

[He nods back to her, more than happy to lead her out of the building to walk a block or two around the corner to the shop.]

It's a little pricey, but it's totally worth it in the end. Problem is, even though it's a small shop, since it's so close to the Pride building the paparazzi and fans have found it and sometimes you can't get out without signing an autograph or fifty...

[Not that he minds that much, but he will sure as hell complain about it.]
magic_to_do: (Intrigue... plots to bring disaster)

[personal profile] magic_to_do 2015-11-22 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
That's no problem. I'm always happy to see my fans.

[Trucy actually really enjoys the social aspects of being famous, so getting recognized is always exciting.]

I bet it's tougher on you though. Flashstep is pretty hot right now.

[And the squealing fangirls that hover around boy bands are probably a little worse than the crowd she usually attracts.]
punchesyu: (aww yeah ping pong gurl)

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-11-22 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
You know how it is, the girls can't resist us.

[He winks, not at all shameful about bragging about the status of Flashstep, ever.]

Hey, it's right here. Get ready, we're about to be trampled...

[They reach the doors of the nice little coffee place, and he sneaks a peek inside through the large front window. It's not packed to the brim today, but there are a good number of people inside getting coffee. He's searching for fourteen year old girls and forty year old moms. He can handle the teenagers- it's the moms that he tries to hide from.]
magic_to_do: (As we go along our way)

[personal profile] magic_to_do 2015-11-23 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry, I know all about the burdens of popularity.

[She brags about System Crash often enough. Trucy wouldn't know shame if it smacked her upside the head.

In other news, Yosuke should be pleased to see only a few teenagers loitering about in the shop. Two girls at a corner table do immediately start whispering to each other excitedly though. One of them gets out her phone because omg this needs to be on facebook like right now. Trucy smiles in mischievous amusement. She considers taking his arm just to see their reactions.]




punchesyu: (HELL YEAH I GOT KISSED BY A GIRL)

i'm so mad i would of answered you hours ago but I FOUND THIS IN MY TRASH LIKE GAFJAFAERGAGALFGADFGJ

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-11-24 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He seems to relax when he sees the teenagers. There's only a few, and any mom-types seem to be at the back of the store chatting away. Maybe he'll get lucky. Maybe they won't notice him. Hopefully someone up there likes him.

He leads her to the counter, orders one of those oreo espresso drinks as he'd described before, and walks over to the area where drinks are picked up to wait patiently. He can see them snapping pictures out of the corner of his eye, but he's used to it- he even throws up two fingers and grins like an idiot for them.]


Hey, Trucy, I think we've got some fans who want a picture.

[The girls are totally coming over to talk to them.]
magic_to_do: (all of his life in superlatives)

[personal profile] magic_to_do 2015-11-28 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Trucy grins and matches his pose. The girls squeal excitedly and head over.]

Seems like it.

[Nervous, but also excited, the braver of the two speaks up first.]

You're Yosuke from Flashstep right?

[She doesn't even wait for the answer before poking her friend in the side.]

See? I told you! Ohmigod! Could we... could we get an autograph?

[Now that her excitable friend has broken the ice, the other girl figures she might as well not hold back. She turns to Trucy.]

And you're the lead guitar for System Crash, right? I was totally at your last show!

did you want to use this thread to have them "menaced" by fans haha

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-11-28 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooooooof course you can! Hand it over, me and Trucy would be more than happy to sign stuff for you guys, right Trucy?

[He turns his head to wink at her. Whether she was willing or not, he's just volunteered her to do so. He figures she'd be cool with it anyway. The one girl picks through her purse, taking more than just a moment to find what she's looking for. A black, permanent marker is procured, but she seems distressed. After a moment's deliberation, she pulls out two tampons, and hands one to each of them.]

Sorry! Could you two sign these?

[Her friend looks embarrassed, but she's also too starstruck by Lucy to be able to protest at the moment.]
magic_to_do: (and pitching the hay)

Sure. Although these two seem more 'annoying' than 'menacing.'

[personal profile] magic_to_do 2015-12-01 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[That's fine, Trucy is always happy to make time for fans. She flashes a bright smile.]

Absolutely!

[To her credit, that smile barely falters when the tampons come out. Oookay, that's sort of weird, but whatever. She takes the marker and signs the tampon with a flourish.

Well... the closest thing you can get to a flourish on a small, uneven surface.]


There you go~!

[Since Trucy didn't seem at all put out by the strange autograph request, the second girl shoves aside her embarrassment. She also doesn't have anything handy, but she'll be damned if her friend is beating her on this one.

Because this is clearly a contest. First prize is the most facebook likes. Blushing through her reckless excitement, she manages to stammer out...]


W- will you sign my bra?

[Trucy expression falters for the first time, just barely. And now, people are staring.]

Um...
punchesyu: (no i wasn't trying to be mean!)

hahaha and possibly creepy too

[personal profile] punchesyu 2015-12-03 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[His hand does not go out immediately to take the tampon. In fact, his face scrunches up in horror at the fact that he's just been handed a tampon to sign. It's not used, still in the wrapper, but...it's the principle of the thing. He watches in disgust as Trucy takes it and signs it from what he views as flawlessly and unbothered. How. How did she just do that...]

C-Can't I sign something else...

[He eyes the girl that asks for the bra to be signed. He immediately ditches the tampon idea, ignoring that girl, and he chimes in very quickly to bra girl.]

I'll sign your bra! That's totally not a problem at all!

[That makes the girl with the tampon a little angry though...]

Hey, what about me? Aren't you going to sign this? You said you would!
magic_to_do: (If the moat won't stop leaking)

[personal profile] magic_to_do 2015-12-06 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Signing a tampon seems like less of a big deal to her. Heck, she carries those in her purse too. But she's not really the type to suddenly start taking her top off in public so stranger can sign her lingerie.
In other news, girl B is that type and her shirt is already off and she's leaning over so he can sign. She also makes sure to flash her friend a tiny smirk. Totally the winner here. They are so getting thrown out of this cafe...

Girl A sputters indignantly and then starts unbuttoning her top as well. Trucy looks slightly alarmed.]


F-fine! Then sign mine too, okay?
