☆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.

I know, and it's lovely

[Oh. My. God.

There was no way that Koumei could look away from that no, not when the man was handling his instrument so delicately-- so sensually-- and watching him with the eyes of a hungry creature.

The drop in pitch stirred something deep within.

He would need to make a date with his bunk later.]
sharktrash: (smirk // heh)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-11-20 03:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Heh. ]

[ Squalo will give him one last smirk, now playing a slower, low melody that sounds pretty much like magic coming from the depths of Earth or something, and then finally looks away again, jumping up to shred on the instrument with extra force for the finishing chords of the song. ]

[ Once that's done, he'll be holding the bow up and soaking in the applause they're getting. He's not particularly concerned about the redhead; he's not going to complain if he finds him waiting backstage, but if the guy would rather go home and beat off on a bunk bed like a sad fuck, that's perfectly fine too. ]
dishevelment: (analytical)

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-11-20 04:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh no, he will definitely find the redhead backstage once the performance is over. With his glasses back in place and a thick knitted scarf wrapped loosely around his neck, he waited patiently in the chilly air outside the door for someone to emerge. A cigarette was held delicately between two fingers, and he enjoyed the burn of it as he waited.

It kept him grounded.

He had never had reason to question his sexuality before-- and he wasn't sure what to do.]
sharktrash: (smirk // oh please)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-11-21 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Question it, obviously. Or, you know, just let this guy open his mouth and the whole air castle is going to collapse because he's full of shit and not admirable... unless he's into that. In which case, oh my. ]

[ Squalo sets down his instruments before heading out -- and there he is, the guy from earlier. Hiding behind sunglasses again. Shame, really, he seemed to have pretty nice eyes. He grins and waves one hand at him. His voice's rough and loud, but not particularly deep. ]


Hey, hot stuff.

[ What is shame? What is tact? But unless Koumei says something back, he'll probably just casually walk past... ]

dishevelment: (how naive...)

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-11-21 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey yourself.

[His tone was husky as he spoke, both in his uncertainty and his primal desire. Flirting was something new to him, but this...]

Squalo, wasn't it?

[A puff from his cigarette; he released a plume as he waited for the man to react.]
sharktrash: (diplomatic // no srsly keep your trash)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-11-22 01:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Alright then. He's interested. Squalo will head toward him, same smug expression in place. ]

That's right.

[ He's reaching out and removing those sunglasses, or rather, gently pushing them up to rest on the guy's hair, while "accidentally" brushing a thumb over his cheek. ]

Shouldn't hide a face like that. [ oh myyy ] Say, don't I know you from somewhere?
dishevelment: Messala (plain spoken)

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-11-22 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[That hand was caught within Koumei's startlingly firm grip as it started to wander-- and the redhead studied the calluses on those fingers with an almost studious admiration.]

Koumei Ren, of Cosmic Indulgence-- and a fellow classically trained artist.

[He let out a soft humming sound, and ran a thumb lightly over the man's palm.]

You're impressively talented with your hands. I messed around with Strings as a kid, but could never quite get them to sing like you do.
sharktrash: (smirk // anticipation)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-11-22 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That might be an impressive grip for a piano player, but Squalo doesn't try to pull his hand away. Doesn't even flinch, actually. Maybe he's into it. He does continue to watch the other man, though, as if mildly interested what he's going to do with it next. ]

Piano, right? You'll be glad to know 'classically trained' doesn't have to equal 'boring'.

[ He actually straightens his fingers a bit to make that palm examination a bit easier. ]

Takes some time. You haven't seen half of it, though.

[ wink wonk -- i mean ]
dishevelment: (charming)

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-11-22 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
The classics are never boring.

[He continued his examination, admiring the flexibility and tensile strength of those long fingers. It was nothing short of impressive.]

I can do more than hit the keys with mine, you know.
sharktrash: (grin // tattoo it on your eyeballs)

?????????????????????

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-11-22 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the foundation of everything.

[ He'll let him. Hey, the guy's not some cheap harlot, plus Squalo is getting rather intrigued now. Seems there's more than good looks under all that magnificent hair. His eyes narrow slightly, examining Koumei's face. ]

Yeah? Maybe you can show me what else you can hit with them sometime.

[ so fucking smooth ]
dishevelment: (cinnamon roll)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-11-22 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll need to see someday, won't we?

[He chuckled, teasing now.]

I may be Indie, but I'm down with Metal. A duet someday would be fantastic.
sharktrash: (smirk // smug asshole)

rip me. bury me in yaois it's the shit funeral i deserve :/

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-11-22 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmm.

[ Cheeky. There he was, all but bewitched in the crowd, and now he thinks he's the one in charge of the situation. That shows spine, though, and that's just as good. ]

Wanna see me handle that beautiful piece of wood between my legs again, huh? Sounds like a deal. I might even sing for you.

[ Is he talking about his cello or his dick? Is he actually suggesting they make some literal sweet music together? Is he hinting at himself being a screamer instead? So many questions, so little time. ]
dishevelment: (plotting)

Me too, tbh

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-11-22 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[You know the saying: the quiet ones are always the ones to watch out for. The man's presence and ego was overwhelming, but Koumei wasn't someone to be so easily overridden by the force of another personality. Lacing their fingers together, Koumei offered him a smile that was as subtly cheeky as his words.]

I'll be sure to keep up on the ivory, if you do. Normally singing isn't part of my image...but, I might make exception for you.
sharktrash: (smirk // fucking pleased with my job)

just... how

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-11-22 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And more power to him. That doesn't mean Squalo is going to stop trying, though. For some reason, he's really feeling the drive to be on top of things. Both metaphorically and literally tbh. ]

[ His grin goes a bit more feral, but he keeps eye contact. He might also dig his nails into the other man's hand a little, not exactly angrily but to remind him he's dealing with something with fangs. ]


Name time and place, then.
dishevelment: (plotting)

This is what happens when the overly charismatic meets the overly intelligent. We're doomed.

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-11-22 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Claws and teeth were far from a deterrant-- somehow, somewhere, Koumei felt that this sort of danger was hardly anything that he needed to worry about.]

Let's exchange numbers-- I'll text you when I've found a good place. Unless you don't mind the possibility of someone seeing something...

[He didn't withdraw, nor did he engage in power play. There was no need; they both knew who would win.]
sharktrash: (grin // come at me bro)

d o o m e d

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-11-23 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really. Guess I'd rather not read about it in tomorrow's tabloids, though.

[ Yeah, Squalo would win. Obviously. :0 ]

[ Anyway, he'll be letting go and reaching into his jacket to retrieve a pen and a notebook - half scribbled with notes and lyrics, obviously, but he flips an empty page, writes his number on it and tears it out before folding it once and holding it out, still looking amused. ]


Don't make me wait too long.
dishevelment: (charming)

very drama. such doomed.

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-11-23 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, no worries-- you won't have to wait long at all.

[And, pressing a kiss against those magnificent fingers, Koumei pulled back and offered a minimalist business card in exchange for the scrap paper.]

I'm looking forward to our duet, Squalo.
sharktrash: (smirk // heh)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-11-23 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. I might lose interest otherwise.

[ He arches a brow at that kiss, more interested in the little card he's offered. How posh. Maybe they should look into getting something like that. Nonetheless, he taks it, tucks it into his book and then back into his coat. ]

You'd better. It'll be a masterpiece.

dishevelment: (teasing)

[personal profile] dishevelment 2015-11-23 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was okay that MANTICORE was rough around the edges. It suited their Metal image, just as a certain level of class suited Cosmic Indulgence.]

Oh, you'll find that you won't lose interest. It'll be a masterpiece like the world has never seen.
sharktrash: (smirk // varia quality)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-11-23 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Fair enough. He offers another wide smirk. ]

I'll hold you to that.

[ And if that's that, he'll be on his way. ]

sharktrash: (blank // this hangover is killing me)

[personal profile] sharktrash 2015-11-28 01:21 pm (UTC)(link)
