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!))
((Comments are open, tag away!!))

Selphie Tilmitt! Here We Go!~
But, when her name is announced, Selphie bursts on stage with guitar in her stage outfit (http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n38/l_i_z_b01/Pinkville/SexyAnime_mio_akiyama_guitar.jpg) and she waved so brightly to the audience, a huge smile on her face - any trace of anxiety gone.
She bowed her head slightly towards the crowd before standing straight, still smiling, and playing out the riff on her guitar. A couple moments more and she burst into song - upbeat and exciting (kinda like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RelVdE7nvkc&list=PL0ADF61080738FC87). The song includes, of course, breaks for small guitar solos. In typical Selphie style, the final course ends with a bang, hopefully with working pyrotechnics, ending on an excited, optimistic note:
Chase the Dream
I always want to believe...
Chase the Dream
...in the strength that rests within me.
Today's tears lead to joy.
Failure leads to success.
I'm sure it will always be that way.
I don't wanna say 'Give up.'
I don't wanna say 'Give up.'
When the song is over, Selphie takes a step back from the mic to give a sweeping bow before shouting an excited, "Thank you Hinoto-Ri!~" into the microphone. She gave one more huge wave to the crowd before skipping off stage with her guitar.

As soon as she was done, he made his way to the stage to meet her, intent on giving her a huge hug. "You were fantastic up there!"

Selphie had told him all about the concert, of course, and since she'd still been staying at his place lately the chances were he'd heard her practise in the shower. But she didn't really think it was his scene, so appreciated that he was there, throwing her arms around him, "Really? You think so?!"
