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. ]

[Oh good, because none of that is her business and she's just like lalalalalala.]

I think so too. It's certainly easy to be the overexcited arm candy when they're putting on a performance like this.

[She says teasingly, looking out as Raf sings.]

I had no idea they were really so talented.

[rationalizes]

Some of us were lucky enough to see Rafael perform in Venice, when our work brought us there: he was on stage when I first saw him. He does have an astonishing talent.

Whereas I had no idea how wonderfully gifted our Finnick was! He really has worked very hard.

[notaroundme]

Oh wow, Venice? You guys really do get to go everywhere.

[And someday maybe she can too. It's exciting to think about, even if it'll be for 'work.']

He was amazing. I might have to demand repeat performances after we go home.

[rationalizes]

I don't know whether he'll be looking to put this life entirely behind him or hanging on to part of it until everything is settled with NOVA once and for all. But I imagine we could talk him into a little performance now and again. [ as in myri can ]

lmao oooops

[notaroundme]

It's been weird leaving him behind sometimes. I'm sure Myri will be glad to have him around more often, now. And to not have to share him with me.

[She says chuckling. Not that there was any actual sharing, but thoughts of the 'cat fight' surface again, which always make her laugh.]

[rationalizes]

At least she's had plenty of chances to watch your infiltration skills up close. I'm sure you're a shoe-in for the Knights soon.

[notaroundme]

[Well, that certainly pulls her attention away fully from the concert.

She looks surprised, but extremely flattered.]

You...really think so?

[rationalizes]

Of course! You've certainly proven your dedication.

[notaroundme]

Well...thank you.

[She says with pride and excitement.]
