Play On

Who: Risette, all the people who signed up to help or sing, and EVERYONE!
Where: 0048 Stage! With a brief bit back at Junes.
Summary: Big benefit concert by the Visitors!
Warnings: Video-heavy, Gas Chamber is terrible

Surprising no one, everything had come down to the wire. After barely two weeks of preparation, a concert thought up by a 16 year old semi-retired idol singer was being put on in a theater that had magically appeared last night.

Some days, Rise really effing loved this town.

In the afternoon, Rise was in front of Junes, dodging the crowds of people outside her demographic talking about their books to put up flyers and occasionally do her megaphone thing to let everyone know about the change in plans:

"Attention everyone! Tonight's Benefit Concert featuring our Visitor musicians has been MOVED! It'll be taking place at the brand-new 0048 Stage in the Aries District! It's the big sparkly tower theater, you can't miss it!"

Just in case, she handed out quickly printed flyers with directions to the theater to anyone who didn't immediately shove their hands in their pockets, with a smile and a "See you there!" or a "Please come by and see! Free admission!" delivered individually depending on the potential audience member's mood.



The hours to the concert ticked down to minutes, Rise doing everything in her power to make sure everything and everyone was set up for a 7:00 start while preparing to get out on stage again herself. She hadn't done anything like this in months, or anything this serious in longer, and she was running entirely on bottled water and adrenaline at this point.

People - visitor and native alike, whoever she could get to volunteer or accept pay out of donations ("It's a benefit concert, after all!") scrambled to make sure the stage was hooked up, safe, and ready for performances, to make sure guests were seated, and to make sure the performers were ready. Rise was one of the ones scrambling, manically (but happily) doing her own job of remembering lyrics and not throwing up along with her old manager's job of supervising.

"Okay, everyone ready? Oh! We better be, show starts in fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes, guys!"

Yeah she really needed to hire a new manager.

When the time came, the house was full, and they were ready to start. Rise took a deep breath and headed out to kick things off.

((Alright! This post is going to have several subthreads/prompts with instructions in each, but in general, mingle and have fun!))

Curious, Shura gets closer to greet her friend and see what's up. She's looking better than last time Nick saw her, at least.
ghost_shield: (Hey there!)

"Shura! Hey!" Nick waves cheerfully from where he is. "You're looking great! How're you feeling?"

"Better, thanks," she says as she gets closer, a small smile on her lips. "I don't have nightmares about it so much anymore. What have you been up to?"

"Primarily? This." He indicates the booth. "I've decided to start a group to try and improve the relations between the so-called "Visitors" and the city's natives. Hopefully that way we can become less of a wedge issue and start doing some good where good really needs to be done."
demifemme: MADE FOR ME DO NOT TAKE PLZ (Shu - Smile!)

Shura nods. "Wow, you've been busy! I hope it works. I like to not get stones thrown at me when I go out to run."
ghost_shield: (An interesting thought)

He sighs. "I hope so too. It's becoming increasingly obvious the only ones we can trust to inform the public are ourselves." His eyes darken for a moment, and then brighten. "Anyway, I think we can help some of the less well off folks in town, AND it's finally a chance for me to do something proactive around here."

"That's... both good and not so good to hear. I've been reading the COMP network a lot when I couldn't sleep and it's getting a bit scary. But I'm glad you found something to do. I might have a job now, too."
ghost_shield: (Ta da)

[personal profile] ghost_shield 2013-03-16 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
He grins. "Why Shura! You wouldn't by any chance be offering to join up, would you? I THINK we can make room in our oh so huge organization. Maybe." Ha ha ha who is he kidding, of course there's room.
demifemme: (Shura - Casual whut)

Shura scratches the back of her head, embarrassed. She had almost worked up the courage to tell him about the bouncer job in a sex club, but it was escaping fast. "Aaah... I'm not sure I'm a good candidate for your organization..."

Sometimes, misunderstandings lead to interesting situations.

He adjusts his glasses. "Well, that's all right too. Although even if you're not really the talky type, we could always use a bit of raw labor sometimes. There's probably going to be some physical work involved in helping people out. It's up to you though."
demifemme: (Shura - Casual smile)

[personal profile] demifemme 2013-03-16 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
That immediately brightens Shura's expression. "I'm available for physical work!" She might be on the fence about humanity, even here, but Nick was a friend.
ghost_shield: (Hey there!)

"Great! I knew I could count on you. I'll let you know when something comes up, then! Let's work together to make sure things go smoothly!" He definitely looks happy.

His looking happy made Shura smile even more. "Yes sir!"
