☆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.

"Oh, I know, I have to find my kit when they finish moving things around for the next show. Thank you."

Haru hesitates because well, Xanxus has a reputation, but she's got one too and she's not entirely sure how it came about so she's always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt.

"You sound pretty fantastic, by the way."

[variaboss]

She should listen to his reputation. It's not something just given to him. It's earned, every single thing. The rumors are mostly all true. He's not even ashamed of it. Instead, he just grins at her a little and looks her over.

"Your kit? You're the pretty girl half hidden by your drums and shit. Damn shame if you ask me. Hiding you behind your kit." Praise for praise since he rather enjoys being appreciated for his voice.

"You know, Luci is going to have me singing with her tonight. So if you like this, you'll love what's coming."

[costumechange]

Haru turns pink from her cheeks to her ears at the praise and reaches up to pat her messy slightly sweaty hair self consciously.

"Thank you. Maybe someday I'll have a transparent one." She laughs a little at herself, but it turns into an excited squeak when he reveals Junkyard Carnival's plan.

"Are you really?! I've caught one of your shows already, so I was tempted to go back to the trailers and rest, but now I've got to stay and hear."

[variaboss]

"The day you do, your fanbase will skyrocket." He shifts his bass a little and shrugs. "Yep. We're really going to do it. It should be pretty interesting since I haven't sung in front of this huge of an audience since Dehumanizer was on tour. But I can't be nervous because I've got you backstage to hear." Laying it on thick. Probably. But she's cute and that means she gets slightly better treatment that any other fans that might be back here later on.

[costumechange]

Haru face is pink and pleased even if her raised eyebrow says she's skeptical and knows what he's doing. It's not like she's ever going to be immune to flattery, even the thick kind if it seems to be sincerely meant.

"I'm doing tap dance for the percussion in a couple of upcoming songs so we'll see what happens."

She laughs openly at the idea of him being nervous, or less nervous because she's there.

"I can't imagine you being nervous at all, let alone having your nerves effected by me."

[variaboss]

"Tapdancing for percussion. That's something I've never even thought of. That's pretty cool. I'll definitely have to be in the audience for that." He means that too. Plus watching a cute girl dance and sing was a pretty good time. There's better things to do with cute girls, but watching her later will be fine for now.

"Did you know that some of the greatest performers get nervous." He gives her a grin. "But knowing there are fans around helps them go on anyway. You know. Don't just do it for you. Do it for your fans." Mostly though, Xanxus does it for himself. He wouldn't be doing this if he didn't love it.
