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!))

[Rei's eyes brighten, all but sparkling.]

Thank you, Jamie. Obviously we'll be careful. I've...been keeping a disguise on for a reason and I'll make him do the same when we go out again. It'll be helpful to have someone to perhaps cover for us. We don't want to leave a paper trail, after all. Because there are weirdos on the internet who will find it.

[That look of gratitude seems to make him uncomfortable, and he looks away, one side of his mouth quirking up uncertainly. He quietly contemplates what she's suggesting, then shrugs.]

Yeah, well, if you need someone to help you out with that, I guess I could do it. When's the next time you guys are going out?

[faithfulflame]

[A quick nod.]

A weekend sometime soon, I'm not entirely sure. We were going to a drive in theater or something. He had it in mind. [She was along for that ride.]

And thank you. I very much appreciate your willingness to help. Is there something I can do for you in kind?

[mildwildchild]

I can ask Yosk when it's gonna happen. Or, well, knowing him he won't shut up about it. [There's a mostly good-natured roll of the eyes.]

[He shrugs aimlessly and looks away again, tucking his hands into his pockets.] Uh...not really. I mean, it's no big deal.

[faithfulflame]

He's excited, isn't he?

[She huffs a laugh.]

Don't tell me I'm the first person he's gotten to go out with him more than once.
