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, you're a mercenary? [Her hand twitches, but she just keeps moving forward.] I used to get hunted by guys like that. Hopefully you're better. [Because she is still alive, okay, the ones trying to kill her clearly weren't that stellar. She really hopes he is stellar. She shoves the doors open and pushes through them into the back.] When this is over we'll have to finish those drinks and compare battle scars like in Jaws.

What's going on?

[ the sudden blackout has done a good job of helping buffy push down her emotions, setting them aside for later when they aren't in diresville. she looks up as she sees vi and des approaching. ]

[Oh look where finnick has dragged myri to (this is the plan I just made up). There's no time for happy reunions because some asshole is sure firing gunshots. Myri yelps, more and more like a scared fawn or something because this whole night has been too taxing on her poor life.]

I'm a PI. [And once again, Des doesn't get to respond to Vi being adorable, because it's time to get serious. When Buffy and Myri arrive, Des takes charge in such a way you almost forget that he's been depressed for the last fifteen minutes.]

I'm always right. That's what's going on. Biggest concert of the year and it's basically giving Chad the middle finger? What did you think was gonna happen?

[finnick basically almost goes careening into des/violet/buffy, but stops once he realizes it's just them. even though he doesn't really want to, because he's still acting freaked out as fuck. he looks over at des, since it seems he's designated himself as the one in charge.]

Do you know what's going on here?
