WHAT || CHAPTER ONE FINALE: Rafael Giovanni & Finnick's televised international concert debut
WHERE || A music hall in Chicago, IL

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. ]

It will change his life, no matter how much he chooses to be involved.

[Myri frowns because sometimes it's hard being the only one to have a big bleeding heart for everyone. The crowd inside is FUCKING LOSING IT, and she turns her head towards the sound.]

It seems that Rafael is doing quite well tonight.

[shootfirst]

That's news of the good variety, huh? Means we probably won't have to keep haunting the halls of record companies forever.

[slay]

[ buffy turns to glance in the direction of the roaring crowd, then glances down. she tightens her lips and keeps quiet, because she doesn't really want to talk about rafael's jade-a-palooza. ]

[witchwoman]

No, I think we've accomplished our goal here tonight. [She says it absently while taking a step towards Buffy, placing a hand on the girl's arm.]

I'm sure it's just... songs he's had written. From before. [Because she isn't dumb. She's able to feel the strong feelings of others so picking up on Buffy's feelings for Rafael was just something that couldn't be ignored for all this time.]

[shootfirst]

[ apparently it could be, because kat is dumb as a box of rocks over here about buffael with her wisdom check ] Yeah right, I'm pretty sure he's spent the last several months doing nothing but sitting in a dark room crying his tears into an inkwell to use to pen these things.

[slay]

[ myri gets a smile that shows her appreciation for the sympathy, but also dismisses it, but her expression blanches into something flat at kat's words. her gaze flickers over in that direction, but she remains quiet for a long, awkward moment. when she does speak, it's curt and hollow. ]

Yeah.

[ it's ok kat you're just a scooby, happily oblivious to buffy's godawful attempts at disguising her feels. ]

[witchwoman]

[One day Myri and Kat will have a conversation about tact...

...and this shit would probably still happen.]

His set must be over soon. Would you two like to head back to watch? [She might join them on the other balcony. Otherwise she will probably start making out with Finnick again and end up getting so much hate mail.]

[shootfirst]

Sure, if I can steal Archer's seat.
