    Default [Nexus] NexusStock (Open Plot)

    In Outside, on a large and unremarkable field, workers begin erecting a huge stage. A small office opens in Inside, its sign labeling it as Nexus Concert Promotion. And hundreds of posters appear all over Nexus advertising NexusStock, the biggest free musical event in Nexus's history. The posters direct interested musicians to the office in Inside.

    On what is certainly an unrelated note, a few other flyers seem to be soliciting work from a talented enchanter, and the phone number he should call if he's interested in making an exhorbitant sum of money.

    Moff arrives to start overseeing the work. Ticket sales have started, and any PC performers who would like to apply are welcome.

    IC: Audition forms are given to all of the acts here to audition.

    OOC: Note to people auditioning: Since I cannot hear what Moff hears, you need to tell me what the quality of their playing is on a scale of:

    Sucks
    Meh
    Not bad
    Good
    Kickass

    Please note: 'Kickass' should be reserved for bards or professional musicians of some sort.

    Nephrim, or a plotclone thereof, approaches via the air. She's in her true(est) form of an androgynous angelic child with snow-white feathers and silver-gold-blonde hair and white eyes with a hint of cruelty somehow lurking despite the lack of iris and pupil. She's wearing a denim dress and a red rucksack. In her arms is Dam'Bul, a black-haired, red-eyed human wearing a pair of trousers and trainers, revealing his muscular physique. Soon as they land, Nephrim takes the form of a human girl with black hair and green eyes, aged about ten and Dam'Bul hides his eyes with a pair of sunglasses. "Greetings, Sir Moff. I would like to register myself as an act for this... gib?" Nephrim hasn't been to a music festival before. "I play the drum support. This body knows the basics. And you simply must listen to her sing; it's divine. Or was." Dam'Bul has the kind of smile that suggests that it might not be a good idea for the Moff to attend.

    PC performers who'd like to apply? Zanny's here now!

    The hawt bard hits a note that lets him find wherever the application stands/forms are. If there is an NPC accepting the applications, consider him/her brainwashed into letting Zanny into the show. If its the Moff, Zanny says hi! And waits in the ninja line.

    "Not particularly. Any vital personnel should be wearing ear plugs. Is AMEN going to be mind-controlling the audience?" Because if the crew are wearing earplugs, they can't hear Nephrim's song, which either exults evil and chaos, or contains her full mind-control abilities. Or both.

    "Is that a yes or a no?" Nephrim precedes pig latin by a few thousand years. Plus, I'm not sure of the translation of 'ixnay'. Nephrim's also speaking in a stage whisper.

    "Yup! I'm here to perform. In the concert. I can play any song ever made if you have any preferences, else I'll play the first thing that comes into my head."

    Zanny grins. I'm assuming he's far enough away to not hear the mind control comment, because that would ruin the whole event for him if he knew about it.

    "Of course there is no mind control at our concert," Moff says. "What a silly idea. Talk to me back at the base." Moff says to Nephrim.

    "You're definitely in. And since you don't need a backup band, I might squeeze you in a few times while other acts are getting set up," Moff says to Zanny. "You can do your own amplification, right?"

    "Heh. I think I've got everything I need right here."

    Zanny gestures to his lyre. Then looks slightly conspiratorial.

    "Though, if you see a hobo with a guitar named Pete, I would strongly advise against letting him play. He's got some eldritch abomimusic, and it frankly doesn't sound very good."

    He leaves out the part about him and Darcy's plan to club him to unconsciousness and lock him inside a closet state of the art soundproof cell. Just in case the Moff has moral qualms about that. Zanny really doesn't know him.

    "Oh don't worry, everyone has to audition," Moff says. "You and Nephrim got out of it because I've heard you before." Actually I don't think he's heard Nephrim before, but saying she got out of it because she's a fellow member of an evil league doesn't seem wise. Not when ticketbuyers might overhear.

    He writes on the clipboard.

    'Hobo Pete - check out - might be a great new sound'


    A third Moff approaches the eyeless girl. "Here to audition?"

    "Okay. It would be best if you weren't to audition him yourself though. As I said, he's got brain-damaging stuff. It would be best just to turn him away, but if you're skeptical..."

    Zanny twinges a chord on his lyre. Any nearby people listening in on their conversation (besides the Moff himself) now have an annoying buzzing in their ears that makes it very hard to hear what he's saying.

    "I'd recommend having some random NPC listen to it. So you don't mess yourself up. You'll tell I'm serious once it starts foaming at the mouth or something."

    The buzzing stops once he's done giving potentially-offending advice.

    "Anyway, I'll stop by when it begins. Get some great bands to play so I look even better once I overshadow them!"

    Zanny's last sentence is said in jest as he walks away. The bard will walk out of sight in any direction, then play a silent chord of magic. Now invisible, he'll wait around for either Pete or Darcy to show up.

    Pete walks up. He's bleeding from cuts in his arms and one on his face. The old acoustic guitar is hanging from his neck by the strap and at his hands. He taps in a strangely rhythmic yet arrhythmic manner. It's almost impossible not to get drawn into this.

    He's muttering and swearing to himself in two slightly different voices. This is rarely a good sign.

    Zanny sees Pete and creeps along after him, from a safe distance of course. About 5 meters away. The bard looks around for Darcy, and contemplates sending another candygram. Or just a note, seeing as how he doesn't have a candygram with him.

    The music consists of Cleo's flute-playing, and 0-3 voices at a time singing, which sound like they come from her necklace. And the music isn't even laced with magic this time.
