HOW || Actionspam

The hour is finally upon our heroes, to learn whether their crazy plan to invest in making Finnick and Rafael international superstars under Burt Becksworth's management will pay off, and keep control of NOVA Records out of the hands of Chad Becksworth and his sinister compatriots. Now, as the Knights finish taking their seats in the balconies directly overlooking the stage, the concert goes live, broadcasting around the world, to where even other members of the Knighthood in London can gather to watch.

The camera pans across the endless sea of gathered, curious fans, who shake their arms wildly for their two seconds of fame, and then zooms in on a blonde figure on one corner of the stage, where she stands ready with a microphone: Buffy Summers.

[ the action of this post will be continually propelled by the interspersed musical numbers performed by finnick and rafael. each musical number will be up for a short amount of ooc time, in which players are free to create mini-thread responses directly to that song comment. these can be for internal reflection, to make commentary to the neighbors seated in their rows, for backstage convos for those involved in the program, or for 'host' commentary between some songs by archer and kat. threads that result from these responses should be kept short and sweet, as each song is only 3 to 5 minutes long, which doesn't leave a lot of time for in depth conversations. ideally, by the time the next 'number' is posted (as a direct response to the last musical number comment), your response threads from the previous number should be considered over and done with, and you can continue anything going on in them as a new mini-thread under the most recently posted song. in order to keep track of when things are rolling on to the next song, I highly encourage everyone to please track this entire post. ]

I wouldn't say that. He puts on a helluva show. [ she glances back out at the stage, then... brings up what myri's thinking about anyways ] I guess I'm just a little focused on what's coming.

[And with a whopping 21 spot check- wow Des were you even watching the show- Des notices, but doesn't say anything at first.] You'll be fine, I promise.

[He nods at the necklace.] I didn't think you ever took that off.

[The conversation draws her attention, and she finds her eyes drawn to the object after Des comments.]

It's so pretty.

[witchwoman]

[Okay she might have to beam at the compliment to Finnick because... yeah, she's proud of him.

Focus, Myri. Game face.

But with Des' addition to the conversation, her attention is drawn down to the necklace. She frowns in a curious way, only raising a question with her expression since she's not really that close to Jade to know anything about it.]

Violet asked me to - for just a little while. [ she looks between them all, looking actually a little uncomfortable under all the sudden attention, her hand closing reflexively around the pendant, hiding it from view. ] She thinks the magic in it might have... gone bad. [ her tone is speculative, hesitant. ]

[notaroundme]

Magic can go bad?

[What does that even mean?]

What kind of magic?

[Nosy, nosy. Sorry, gurl.]

Divine magic, if anything. My mother gave it to me... I'm not sure it does anything, but Violet seemed convinced it held some kind of energy. She had a theory that something happened to it when Nightscape was destroyed.
