☆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.

[Nod nod.]

Makes sense.

[That's how it worked in bars with tips.]

[blindfoldcode]

[She pats the newcomer's shoulder.] Good luck out there.

[losingherhead]

[She likes the cut of your jib Kido.]

Thanks. Same goes to you, alright?

[blindfoldcode]

Hey, I'm a veteran at this point. And I'm not dressed as a coat rack.

[losingherhead]

You got me there. I lose that high ground.

[blindfoldcode]

Tell your stylists to do something a little less dangerous there. Who do you play for?

[losingherhead]

Vandalism In Progress. We're big on the unorthodox.

[As much as a jazz band for Virgo can be, at least.]

You?

[blindfoldcode]

System Crash. I'm their bassist. [She's gotten rid of the makeup since she's not on stage...] I guess that makes us rivals.

[losingherhead]

[Ohhhhhh now that she hears the name, her eyes widen in realization. She can't help but glance around nervously at that. God, getting her big shot ruined so fast just by happenstance would just be. Ugh.]

I guess so.

[blindfoldcode]

[Kido can't see that expression so she just shrugs it off.] I think it's kinda dumb to worry about. They've gotta have bigger problems than inter-label friendships.

[losingherhead]

[That's... true, she supposes. Still...]

Can't imagine they like anything they think hurts business.

[blindfoldcode]

We're just mingling. Relax. [She shrugs.] I'll tell you a secret. I'd rather hang out with Virgo people any day.

[losingherhead]

Really? No love for Pride's

[Ten second pause of consideration.]

Prideness?

[blindfoldcode]

It's not that! I owe them everything. But some of the bands are morons.

[losingherhead]

[Her helmet nods. That makes sense to her. She can't imagine hating Virgo for giving her a job but resenting them for giving... other kinds of people a job?]

I think every label has people like that unfortunately.

[blindfoldcode]

Well, yeah, of course. But HQ is like.. party central 24/7.

[losingherhead]

[Her postures decidedly takes on a nooooooooope posture.]

Yikes. There's no way I could deal with that kind of energy.

[blindfoldcode]

It wears me out. I tend to stay away from people--for good reason.

[She got her everything smashed in.]

[losingherhead]

Good thinking. I get enough of that from some of my own band.

[blindfoldcode]

If nothing else, I've got a good band. They're good kids.

[losingherhead]

[She can't help but smile. Kido didn't exactly seem old, but Celty already liked the sort of maturity she seemed to carry herself with.]

Wish I could say the same.

[Celty that's mean and you know you don't mean it.]

[blindfoldcode]

You've got a crazy group, huh?

[losingherhead]

One of them, at least. The rest are mostly just energetic. Its a little exhausting.

[blindfoldcode]

The violent kinda crazy or just the weird kind.

[losingherhead]

[She quietly glances around for any eavesdroppers.]

Let's just say I wouldn't put violence past him.
