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!))

"Because we have power they don't?"

"I suppose. Although there are Persona users who live within the city itself. Why they feel like they needed to accumulate an extra surplus is beyond me."

Unless they were trying to get to them first...

"There's a terrorist organization. I can see why they'd want that surplus."

Ben glances at the pamphlet again before folding it up and tucking it inside one of his pockets.

"And I can somewhat understand the government's strategy. It's not the most honest one, but a seemingly endless supply of ignorant people with magic powers does give them the upper hand, assuming no one's defected to the terrorists yet. Not that that would do them any good. Anyone can be a soldier; it's information that makes a defector valuable."

He's kind of musing to himself, here.
ghost_shield: (An interesting thought)

He listens to him musing. A man who thinks... hmm.

"Would you be interested in helping us out, by any chance? We could use people like you."

"Excellent! Our current headquarters is at a place called the Nadesico, although we may be setting up an extra branch office around the main apartment complexes. Could I meet you there later? There's some extra specifics I want to discuss."

After all, a man who questions is a man who seeks truth...

"Is this place marked on the map? Because I can meet you there, assuming I don't get lost."

"It should be, yes. It's a fairly large structure, so it had to be noted. Still, I can give you directions if you need them."

"I think I'd like them. Just to be safe. What time did you wish to speak with me?"

"Whenever you're available. Although you should definitely be careful. Get in too close to the 13th hour, and it won't be very safe to leave until it's done."

Well, for Nick especially.

"Why don't we schedule this for tomorrow? Who knows when this concert's going to be over, nevermind how long it might take for us to get out of it. Besides, I'm new here. My schedule's not exactly full."

He nods. "Fair enough. See you then. There's a lot of questions you have, no doubt. Hopefully I'll be able to answer them."
