"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?

"Uh, excuse me, I couldn't help but hear you're doing a benefit concert?"

The bespectacled ghost talker stood nearby, adjusting his glasses. Seems like the Native/Visitor Alliance has found her first. "Only, well, I can't help but feel we might be able to work together on this."

Sephiran raised his hand slightly when Rise asked her questions. "I'm looking to sign up," he said. "I may not quite be able to bring much 'flash' to the stage, but I can sing well enough."

Dakki raises her hand and smiles hopefully. "Ah, I can't sing, but I have some experience with stage construction. Do you still need to get materials, or have arrangements already been made to obtain those?"

[booyaka_boom]

Selphie had said that she'd meet Rise to figure things out. There was a lot of stuff to do. So she was running around the city with her arms full of flyers and posters, running in and out of places to make sure they were all fully on board with the concert. Changes are she'd bump into Rise somewhere along the way.

"You've been busy today, huh?" Asem was in his military uniform, having approached Rise when he saw her on the sidewalk for the fifth time today -- and it was only lunchtime. "What's got you running around town?"

Yu was just coming out of Junes, bag of groceries in hand, when he heard Rise calling out from where she had set up her mini "camp" of sorts. He couldn't help but pause a moment... before a faint smile worked it's way onto his face. He waited until she was done speaking to the other visitors before he approached.

"Need help?"

Nikolai would eventually speak up, mostly after everyone else was done.

"Ah. I can help with either, if you like. I'm a guitarist, but if you have enough musicians, I can help with construction."

14th!

Nagisa was on a tear through the streets of Hinoto-Ri that morning. She'd happened to be awake during the 13th Hour that day, felt a pull towards Aries Ward, and seen something amazing - she'd been unable to hold back her tears of joy when she'd seen 0048 Stage appear.

She'd hardly been able to sleep that night after that, out of pure excitement and happiness, but she'd managed a few hours. Now, though? She needed to find Rise.

"Rise-senpai!" She stopped running to catch her breath as soon as she caught sight of her. "It's here - the theater from home - it's in Aries Ward."

[A blue-haired girl is heading out of Junes with many, many bags full of groceries and hears Rise's announcement.]

Wait, helping people? Is there anything I can do to help? I really like helping people! It was part of my programming even!

[bluesdiva]

Being that it was the first time she stepped here, it was luck that she overheard such an announcement. Now that she thought of it, it's been a long time since Haru got to perform anything, aside from on an empty stage. Friday, huh...

"Hey, I'd like to sign up!"
