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!))

I... [She runs a hand down her face--

And immediately regrets it. Fuck that hurt.]

... Yeah.

[magic_to_do]

[Trucy winces sympathetically.]

Need another handkerchief?

[The first one has probably already cleaned up as much blood as it can.]

[blindfoldcode]

I'm... good. We're not far from home.

[She groans.] I need a shower.

[magic_to_do]

[She nods. They're almost at the penthouse, so cleaning up there will be more convenient.]

I think you're gonna have a tough time getting the stains out of your shirt...

[blindfoldcode]

I don't really care. [It's just a shirt.] I'll just toss it.

... Shit I didn't get any on you, did I?

[magic_to_do]

[Trucy just shrugs.]

I never liked this outfit anyway.

[blindfoldcode]

[Kido grimaces.]

Sorry. [oops.]

[magic_to_do]

It's fine. I like shopping.

[Bright sides!]

[blindfoldcode]

I'll pay for something new, anyway.

[magic_to_do]

Maybe we could shop for new outfits together? It'll be fun!


I mean, after you've healed up.

[blindfoldcode]

Clothes shopping isn't really my thing... but if you want to.

[magic_to_do]

[Well, that's a pleasant surprise. Trucy had expected to be turned down outright.]

Don't worry, I know a lot of great stores and I promise it'll be super fun!

[By now they've reached the penthouse, and Trucy helps her in and looks around.]

Do you need help cleaning up? Should I get the first aid kit?

[blindfoldcode]

No, I got it.

If you hear screaming, ignore it. I think I'm gonna douse myself in rubbing alcohol. Who knows what the fuck that asshole's got.

[magic_to_do]

Okay...

But let me know right away if you need help.

[blindfoldcode]

[She tries for a small smile. It mostly fails but...]

Thanks, Trucy.

[magic_to_do]

[Trucy just gives her a grin and a wave as she plops down on the couch. She wants to make sure she's nearby in case Kido does need something.]
