002 ┼ THEY LEFT US ALONE / KIDS IN THE DARK / TO BURN OUT FOREVER / OR LIGHT UP A SPARK

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Who: Cosmic Indulgence, Flashstep, Junkyard Carnival, & System Shock + Any Virgo Onlookers
What: The Revenge EP is debuting in a flashmob-style performance. Four bands, four never before heard songs, one massive social media frenzy.
When: November 7th
Where: Sinammon
Warnings: ......sigh. Carnies.

The second the lockdown is lifted, Luci springs into action. She's mass texting everyone involved:

It's time. Tomorrow night, we ride at 7PM for an 8PM start. Get your best shit dry cleaned.

There's already an exodus happening out of Pride HQ given they weren't the only ones on lockdown either, so slipping out is easy enough. They converge on the location, Luci makes good on her suggestion and hands the techbooth a wad of money to stop playing recorded dance mixes and let them take over the stage. She can already see one guy frantically texting into his lap as she explains what's about to happen. Perfect.

"You should tell your manager to call in more bouncers and remove some of the tables, this place is about to be packed."


((OOC: Welcome to the culmination of the EP plot! Not much else to say but here's a description of the stage setup courtesy of Garnet for anyone curious, and LET'S ROCK!))

"GOOD!" Luci catches on to Jamie's energy, feeding off of it like she's starving. She puts her forehead just inches from his, almost like she's got some kind of animal energy too and it's pushing her to get in his face as a sign of support.

"Get the fuck out there, and don't come back unless you've got some underwear somebody threw on the stage!"

...which arguably could be gross, but she hopes the point is there. Flashstep is a boyband for a reason, they were supposed to ooze sex appeal in a patchwork of different ways that covered most of the bases. Somebody's panties or boxers had to go flying tonight, right?

...that wasn't just a Carnie thing, was it?

This doesn't seem to strike Jamie as remotely odd, and whether it's because he's totally caught up in Luci's hype or because Flashstep is no stranger to underwear offerings is, for now, a mystery. His eyes are insanely bright, almost feverish if not for the clarity and focus in them. He's so full of energy right now he could scream, and that means it's time to get out there and vent it the best way he knows how: sweet-ass dance moves and singing about feelings.

"I am gonna get so many panties!" he yells, and then he's charging past her onto the stage.

That.

Wow.

Luci had no idea how Jamie had accomplished it, but he had.

She was second-hand embarrassed.

"...If I don't get fired tomorrow I have to teach him some different hyping lines. Jesus."
