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!))

[Luci barely manages to avoid taking a step back when Xanxus roars in her face like that. She might've had more muscle on her than Yuffie and run in here willingly, but that didn't mean she was entirely sure she could stop him if he wanted to go through her.]

[Her shoulders relax as Xanxus walks off with the Yuffiecape, then she turns around to check on Kido and Trucy.]

And I'll let him, honestly. [Luci says, nodding her head back at Xanxus. She turns to Trucy for a quick aside before continuing with Kido:] Call your manager Trucy, have her get a doctor to meet you at your suite at least. No police unless you want Xanxus featured tomorrow instead of all of us.

That was a really stupid thing you just did here, kid. By all rights I should've let him beat the hell out of you for being so dumb. You're not the morality police, and you're definitely not going to change Xanxus' behavior no matter what you do. Suck it up and deal with it-- not everybody you meet is going to be a good person.

I don't give a shit about morality, or Xanxus. [She does her best to at least stagger to his feet. She's trying to recover enough for a glare.]

So don't fucking lecture me. I'm not gonna sit back if he hurts the people I care about. He's worse than Predator. [Kido apparently has neither pride nor shame as she doesn't seem to be getting a lesson out of this event.]

...I'm going to pretend you didn't just say that about my bassist. [Luci says, barely containing her anger. Comparing him to Predator-- where the fuck did Kido get off?]

As for sitting back-- you don't have a goddamn choice. This is not some David and Goliath bullshit where you can throw a bass and through loving and caring, knock out a man three times your size. No, that doesn't happen in the real world, and all you succeeded in doing was getting the shit beaten out of you. 'Pointless' doesn't even begin to describe what happened here. Unless you actually think Tiger is going to feel warm and fuzzy about you spitting blood for him-- in which case, bravo. Mission accomplished.
