☆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.

[ It's probably the latter and poor sign making. Maybe they'll be able to afford a new one from the festival sales. ]

I don't know... it sounds like they'd be more likely to get angry customers than adventurous ones. What if there's nothing they actually want, and they waited all that time for nothing?

[ But Ivan peers as hard as he can to read the small text. One line has "Japanese sweet potatoes." ]

They have it!

[magic_to_do]

[Trucy brightens up excitedly when their patience pays off.]

Ahha! So the intrepid adventurers' foray into the world of mystery has paid off!

[They're intrepid adventurers now? Sometimes even she doesn't know what she's talking about.]

[sponsorigami]

[ Ivan laughs. With how big and confusing this place can be (he almost ended up on the wrong stage!), intrepid adventurers sounds about right. ]

So, 2 sweet potatoes. Would you like anything else?

[ This may be going farther than just buying Trucy a drink, but Ivan doesn't even realize he's doing so. He's used to treating his family (especially Pao-Lin and her appetite), so it's like an extension of that. ]

[magic_to_do]

Nope! I'm good. We already got the coffee.

[She is excited to try those sweet potatoes though. She bounces up and down on the balls of her feet while the worker gets their treats. He hands over the two potatoes with a warning that they're hot, so be careful. Of course Trucy ignores that warning completely and digs right in.]

Ow! It is hot!

[No kidding...]

[sponsorigami]

[ Ivan pays and sticks some coins in the tip jar before returning his attention to Trucy and her yelp. ]

Are you okay?

[ He really hopes she didn't burn herself. They're both important (or more important than some in the festival) musicians with upcoming performances each night. ]

[magic_to_do]

Mmph fne.

[She's fine. Her tongue might be a little burned though.]

[sponsorigami]

[ He's going to look around for a place to sit and eat. That'll make it easier to be patient and not chance additional burning. ]

How are those seats over there?

[ He hasn't forgotten that he was worried about her earlier, so he wants to give her a chance to relax. ]

[magic_to_do]

Looks good to me!

[She hurries over to grab the seats before they're snagged by someone else. Once seated she blows on the potato a few times before going in for another bite.]

Mm! It really is good.

[sponsorigami]

To fall flavors.

[ He smiles and starts to eat his, alternating between bites of sweet potato and pumpkin spice coffee. ]

[magic_to_do]

[She does the same, and nods approvingly after a few bites.]

You wouldn't think so, but these actually go really well together. Just goes to show you should always be open to new things.

[The next bit is just a little bit shy.]

You know, I'm really glad I ran into you today.

/end thread?

[sponsorigami]

Me too. This is nice.

[ He didn't think he'd have a chance to relax and take in some other parts of the fest. It's weird that it has little to do with actual music. ]

Works for me!

[magic_to_do]

[She nods. It is nice. In the fast paced world of show biz, there's not much time for relaxing.]
