☆THE FESTIVAL Welcome to the South Vista Music Fest! An enormous, weeklong festival with hundreds of bands performing nearly 24/7, the Music Fest is a quarter annual event that celebrates all manners of local talent, both big time and small time. Every band from Pride Records and Virgo Entertainment will have performances to do, including the freshly recruited – you better have your act together, because now is your time to shine! Player bands will be performing roughly once a day, with bands from the first app round predominantly with evening slots and the newest bands with predominantly afternoon slots. There is definitely a hierarchy to the scheduling - Pride and Virgo claim almost all of the prime performance times, while other labels are forced to deal with the leftovers. You've definitely been chosen by the winners of the music industry in these parts, that's for sure. Shuttles will be available to take people back to their relative HQs in their downtime, but they're also allowed to hang out and enjoy the festivities if that's what they prefer. Stuff is happening all day and night, so it's really just a question of how much you can party while still being conscious for your own show. Your managers will tell you that the company CEOs pay extra close attention to this event, so that you need to be on your best behaviour. The festival takes up a massive amount of floor area with multiple stages of various sizes and a large amount of glowy display screens. It's set up on the ground floor of the cityscape, meaning that the suspension roads and walkways above have been programmed to add to the ambient lighting all day and night. ► TRAILER PARK KIDS: For those that just want to chill, there is a massive VIP area reserved for labels to park various trailers for their musicians to hang out in during downtime - one for each band. They aren't quite as big as the tour buses, but they are comfortable and well stocked. Each is equipped with two beds and a bathroom/shower. Pretty much every local band you know of is here, including the notorious Predator. Nose around their trailer at your own risk. ► IN THE SPOTLIGHT: With at least six performances in a span of six days, there is plenty of time for shenanigans to go down both back and center stage. Time to show your mettle, and to hope that some asshole doesn't take all the best food items from the backstage catering tables before you can get to them. ► ATMOSPHERIC NOISE: If you dare brave the storm, there is a massive quantity of merch, vendor, and food booths available for your perusal. Many fans endeavor to spend as much time at Music Fest as possible, and so the space is very lived in, with large groups of people hanging out in well populated lounge areas. Depending on how popular you are, it may be difficult to get around without getting swarmed by your fans. ► DON'T FORGET TO REMEMBER: And all the while, the strange memories continue. The label's newest members will have started to feel strange as of November 6th, and by the time of the Fest almost all of them will be discovering their first memories regains. The first one should be based on the alignment you chose, but the rest can be whatever you want. New character may regain up to 4 memories between their arrival and the end of November.

[how about some accompanying sound, Bolin?

who knows where Shen came from, or how he set up his portable synth to work without you noticing. the fact is that he's picked up on the song, and is providing some accompaniment for the practice.

that's one thing in his favor; he's almost always willing to go over their music, even if he's not always willing to be as outgoing as the rest of the crowd.]

[ When it comes to Shen sneaking up on you, Bolin has actually gotten pretty used to it. He doesn't jump nearly as much as he used to. But when he hears familiar playing that isn't quite in sync with the music on his headphones.

He finishes off the last of his routine with a flourish, dipping an invisible partner for fun. ]

How do you move that thing around so fast? Wasn't it still in its case five minutes ago?

[hanginginthere]

Yeah.

[and? the tone questions, casual and nonchalant. it could have still been in its case as of a minute ago; Shen's quite skilled at getting himself set up in seconds. the synth may be a bit bigger than a camera, but he's far more experienced with it - and he doesn't exactly need to line up the shot.

either way, he makes a few tweaks on the controls, repeating the rhythm. if...softer.]

Are you going to wear the tap shoes for this one?

[isgorgeous]

That was the plan. Unless Haru thinks it'll mess up her keeping the beat.

[ Admittedly he has it pretty easy in comparison to the others. The only instrument he needs to bring along is his voice. Not that he doesn't help carry things on stage if he needs to.

He practices the step set again, following the rhythm Shen has set. ]

But I think they make a pretty awesome counterpoint to the singing so hopefully she doesn't mind.

[hanginginthere]

[it's not hard for him to play and talk at the same time. sometimes he mouths the words that Bolin's singing, but he's far from willing to even think of being the lead. no challenge there, not at all.]

I don't think so. She's good at the rhythm. I think the only thing that could mess her up would be if you tripped and fell on her set.

[isgorgeous]

I think if I fell on her set Haru would mess me up. That thing is her baby.

[ Bolin isn't scared of much but he's pretty sure Haru would find a way to end him if he damaged it. He repeats the dance steps again, not watching his feet as he went through the complicated moves of it. He'd always been light on his feet thankfully. ]

You got any ideas for anything we could do to spice things up?
