☆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.

[Maxxie looks around, sinking down in his seat uncomfortably. He looks hesitant and a little afraid when he speaks.]

Most of us were there.

[She pauses a minute and scowls, rolling her eyes.] You were at the swings. I haven't seen you since. [She hasn't been paying attention since.]
notahobby: ([oh] chris what)

[personal profile] notahobby 2015-11-24 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[It takes Maxxie a moment to come up with a response for that, but finally he just shrugs and looks up at her, eyes still apprehensive and wide.]

I lived.

[After another moment he asks:] Are you... okay?
blindfoldcode: (i won't forget this heat)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-11-24 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm playing, aren't I? It's not like we got hurt.
notahobby: (maxxie006)

[personal profile] notahobby 2015-11-24 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maxxie rolls his eyes, frowning.]

Then why you acting so weird? I don't need you comin' by here and reminding me about all that shit for no reason.
blindfoldcode: (look hold out your hand)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-11-25 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I was just seeing if you were okay. No need to be an asshole.
notahobby: (maxxie051)

[personal profile] notahobby 2015-11-26 01:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That's a weird way to ask if someone's okay!
blindfoldcode: (that i've ever known)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-11-27 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
I was surprised. It's been a long month, okay?
notahobby: (maxxie007)

[personal profile] notahobby 2015-11-27 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
It's been long for all of us.

[Excuse him if he's on the defensive right now.]
blindfoldcode: (falling down)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-11-28 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kido swears, running her fingers through her hair in frustration.]

Look. Sorry. I just wanted to make sure you were okay. It was fucked up. I was pretty fucked up after it. I haven't seen any of you guys around.
notahobby: (maxxie027)

[personal profile] notahobby 2015-11-28 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Maxxie frowns down at the drink in his hand, then back up at her.]

I was fucked up too.

[And then, a sigh as his frown fades a little.]

Nariko and Richard seem alright though, if that means anything.
blindfoldcode: (in defense)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-11-28 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Good. It doesn't seem like anybody got too badly hurt, then. [Except for the emotional wounds Tiger seems to have wound up with, but she can deal with those. Nobody actually died.]
notahobby: (maxxie084)

[personal profile] notahobby 2015-11-30 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think getting hurt was the point.

[He says this almost to himself, looking down the rows of trailers, as if Predator's trailer is that way. (It's not.)]

So, you've been performing a lot then?

blindfoldcode: (we were the victims of ourselves)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-12-01 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
It would've been a really shitty side effect.

[She shrugs] We've done enough--I'm not a huge fan of the spotlight so it's too much for me.
notahobby: (maxxie081)

[personal profile] notahobby 2015-12-01 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[He tilts his head at her, frowning in confusion.]

What do you mean, like... you don't like performing, or is it all the other stuff?
blindfoldcode: (that i've ever known)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-12-01 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I love the music--I just don't like being on stage. We're kinda eye catching, you know? [Crazy ass makeup and bright colors and all. Yeah, she spends most of her time on stage pretending she's anywhere else.]
notahobby: (maxxie057)

[personal profile] notahobby 2015-12-01 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

Yeah, I get you. I guess I'm kind of the opposite, though. Our music doesn't feel like it's complete unless we're performing it live. Got more energy that way.
blindfoldcode: (don't erase these hearts)

[personal profile] blindfoldcode 2015-12-02 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Everything we play is just distorted no matter what. [She shrugs.]
notahobby: (maxxie055)

[personal profile] notahobby 2015-12-04 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Makes sense. Different genres and all that.
