"Okay!"

Rise stood in front of the imported Junes in Virgo, where she'd gathered whoever was handy and expressed interest in her concert project, or happened to look like they might have musical talent, or looked like they could lift something heavy. She also kept her COMP camera turned on in case anyone else cared.

"Auditions for the benefit concert for the victims of the Anoli attack are here! Wow, I need a better name," she announced. "So far we're doing the concert outdoors here on Friday, so mark your calendars!"

After that, she went to the assembled Visitors. "Okay, who's here to sign up and who's here to build a stage for a good cause?"

[Action - Hinoto-Ri] (The 11th through the 14th)

Rise spent the rest of the week in a flurry of activity highly distinct and, in her opinion, much more tiring from the 'talent' side of things. In this case, she was acting more as an agent, going around town to make sure the concert was funded, advertised, and most importantly, got as much Visitor talent on-stage as possible. It was also probably time to get better acquainted with the Visitor/local relations group Cloche had mentioned...

It was going to be tough doing all this on a simple flat stage, though. It worked in Inaba, but she couldn't help but think another venue would work better, especially for the flashier acts. Maybe something would turn up?

Comments

Ah, here was a rub. "As I said... my name is Sephiran. The song I have in mind doesn't have a title, but if I had to call it anything... I would call it 'Dawn Awakens.'" There was one other issue that needed to be mentioned, too. "As for this 'demo'... how should I go about doing it? Should I just sing a few lines for you right now?"

I can read I promise

"Well, that'd be fine. I just want to have an idea of what order people should go on in," she said. "You know, start with a fast number to get peoples' attention, end with something big and dramatic, that kind of thing."

[thelordsage]

"Very well, then." Sephiran cleared his throat, took a few deep breaths, and sang the opening lines of his song. He was at more or less the right volume- not loud enough to draw attention, but not too quiet to be heard, either. "How was that?"

[celebrity_commentator]

"Ooh, that's pretty!" she said...Sephiran should probably take that as a compliment to the song and not his voice, even if she meant both. "That should fit right in somewhere around Cloche-san's song."

[thelordsage]

Sephiran nodded. "Thank you," he said, not really minding whether the compliment was to the song or his voice. The name Rise mentioned seemed familiar, though... "Cloche... she's the woman who can sing with magic, isn't she?"

[celebrity_commentator]

"Yep!" she said, enthusiastically. "I don't really understand how she does it, but it's gorgeous."

[thelordsage]

"I see, I see. I will have to listen to her sometime." Sephiran's gaze shifts for just a moment, as though he is thinking of something. "Is there anything else I need to do, or am I signed up?"

[celebrity_commentator]

"You're signed up! We should have a stage ready for you to practice on soon, and if you could show up at least to coordinate and practice getting on and off that'd be really great, she explains.
