☆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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[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.

[ 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.

[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.]

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.

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.

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.

[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.

[ Fair enough. He offers another wide smirk. ]

I'll hold you to that.

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