☆MINGLE LOG: SOUTH VISTA MUSIC FEST

Who: Everyone!
What: An open mingle log for everyone from everywhere.
When: November 18th-24th, 2054
Where: South Vista
Warnings: Could be anything!


☆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.

"Yeah, and it's a damn shame you don't and I've put 'Make Xan Sing' on my bucket list, so you're screwed now."

She does hear the metal coming from the earbud, so she puts discussion of the set on hold for a moment.

"You hear Manticore earlier today?"

He sort of grins at Luci. Mostly because like Yuffie, she's allowed to use that nickname. "Your bucket list must be pretty short if that's one of your goals." He's teasing because normally lists like that were things people wanted to do but never had the time or the courage to do. He doesn't see Luci as being a person to allow anything to hold her back. If she wants to do something, she does it. So he might as well make peace with the fact that she's going to get him back in front of the microphone again at some point.

Thankfully, the conversation changes and he grins. "Yeah. They're pretty bad ass." Even if he's already been in an altercation with two of their members. "Takes me back. Sort of makes me miss it, you know." Metal that is. After his opera training at that fancy expensive music school, he had gone right into metal and fallen in love. Funny how he's now in punk, but honestly, he loves punk too, even if it's a different sound. "Their vocals have nothing on you though."

"Yeah well--"

Short life, short bucket list.

"...I just move the most recent thing to the top of the list, usually. Makes it easier to keep track of the things that absolutely have to get done." There's a moment where Luci struggles with that thought again-- the one where she's going to be dead in two years. It's completely irrational though, she's not psychic, nobody knows when they're going to die.

"Aw, don't discourage them too quick, not everybody can be me," Luci grins, a little forced, but she's trying to force those weird thoughts away. There's a more important question here anyway-- "You ever think about going back to metal?"

He shrugs. He supposes that makes sense. Personally, he doesn't have a bucket list. Probably because he figures he's on borrowed time anyway. Life was cheap so why not yolo and enjoy it to the fullest. Her question though catches him off guard and he just stares at her a moment.

He enjoys punk. He really really does. He loves everyone in his band, even if he's utter shit at showing it. They're like family. He cares about them and he wants to be there as they all push each other up the ladder of success. They might be Junkyard Carnival because they're all trash, but they are his trash. Yet, it's still a hard question to answer.

His fingers slide a little over the strings of his bass. "Honestly?" Because he could very well look Luci in the face and lie about it. "Sometimes I miss it a lot. Sometimes I think about it. Just like sometimes I wonder what might have happened if I had stayed in the Opera program. But that's not my life anymore. That's my past and I've burned those bridges. Besides, I like punk too. And I'm sure if we wanted, we could add a metal sound to some of our songs without any problem. Plus there's joint projects. If I get too nostalgic, I can always go record a few basslines for some band that needs one."

He laughed then and shifts to sort of knock their heads together. "So don't think you're going to be getting rid of me. You're stuck with me as your bassist."

She'd expected some level of him missing metal-- she would have totally called him on his bullshit if he'd tried to lie about that. But those things... she can work with those. Metal sounds, burned bridges, collaborations, feat. Xanxus somewhere...

"Good," Luci grins, looking her sharp self again and pushing back against his forehead with her own. "I'm not letting the sweet sound of metal seduce you away from this family, not on your life."

Luci had never liked feeling abandoned. No one ever had before (...that she could remember), but the idea sat in her stomach unpleasantly. She wasn't a jealous type, Xanxus could play with whoever scratched his itch, but their sound was whole to her. They were solid in a time where Luci couldn't remember important things and could remember things that were unfamiliar. Xanxus and the other Carnies, as unpredictable as they were, were a constant.

Yeah. He's not about to lie to Luci. He can and will lie to anyone he feels like but never to Luci. Never to his family. They might be the most dysfunctional version of it but they've all embraced him and his antics one way or another. And it's because of that that he gives Luci a friendly headbutt before grinning at her.

"No matter how hard I bang the mistress, I'll always come crawling back to the wife in the end. Metal doesn't have anything on the show we put on." Because if nothing else, they're as much an experience as a band and he doesn't dare question how lucky he is to back up performers like the rest of the Carnival.

"Damn right it doesn't-- but still, if you're going to go bang your mistress, I wanna watch," she says, matching his grin. Watching his performance at the BassOff was exciting, and as thrilling as it was feeling his chords swelling up behind her it's different being in front of a wall of sound. That would be something she knows she doesn't want to miss.

"You should take the second chorus, I'll work the crowd. They'll flip the fuck out when they hear you."
variaboss: (swoosh)

[personal profile] variaboss 2015-11-24 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
"I knew you were into some kinky shit but I never knew you were into voyeurism too. If you're not careful, I'll drag you into a threesome. The wife and the mistress. It'll be hot as hell." He's laughing now. It's actually a pretty good way to get him amped for a show and even agree to her decision.

"All right. I'll take that second chorus. We won't let them know until I do. You just hand the mic to me and do your thing and then you can knock that off your bucket list."

"I do love a good threesome, especially if the wife and the mistress get on nicely." A joining of punk and metal that flowed together... that would be truly something. A beast that couldn't be tamed, if raised right. Yeah, Xanxus should definitely wine and dine his metal muse, and Luci would be listening to the fruit it produced.

"It's gonna be a productive night," she grins, patting him on the shoulder and replacing his earbud.

He just grins at her, a feral thing that means that he's definitely going to be thinking about that in the future. He'll never leave the Carnival. They're his family, but now he can go and sew his wild oats in the metal fields all he wants. It makes him ridiculously happy and because of that, he'll definitely be giving a hell of a show tonight.
