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!!))

Nagisa smiled, bowing her head a little. She wasn't one of the managers, not even one of the proper successors, but she thought - no. She knew they would understand, and want to do the same thing.
"Hm. Normally, you'd get into position and - do you see the button here?" She pointed down, at a white spot on the stage. "Normally, stepping on the button would launch the platform. I need to put some tape around them and a sign backstage letting people know not to step on them if they don't want to use them, but that's if they work. I'm not sure why it's not working now, though."

Cloche leans in, peering at the spot on the floor where Nagisa is pointing.
"Perhaps the mechanism is jammed, somehow? It would be awful if someone went flying when they didn't expect to."

Nagisa hummed a little, frowning. If it was jammed, there wasn't going to be a whole lot to do about it, besides tape it off, but maybe they just needed to be cued up? They were usually in formation during a show when.
"Hm. Maybe it's jammed, but maybe it just isn't set to the right cue? Now that I think about it, we usually know ahead of time when we'll be using these, so they're probably programmed to go off only when we hit the button at the right point in the song. I think maybe for now I should run backstage and get some electrical tape to put around these and get a sign ready, but I should try and figure out how to program it if I want to use it. That would make it a lot safer, too, knowing that they're only going to go off when they're programmed to."
