WHAT || CHAPTER ONE FINALE: Rafael Giovanni & Finnick's televised international concert debut
WHERE || A music hall in Chicago, IL
WHEN || July 3rd, 2013 [ forward dated]
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. ]

CASTLE REACTIONS

[meta]

[Deadpool's sitting on the couch with a biiiig bucket of popcorn that's about half empty. About half a bucket of popcorn is spread around the couch and surrounding floor because he keeps throwing it at his mouth while his mask is covering it and he's had so far zero success at actually eating the popcorn. He's having a good time, though. Even if this is the most boring episode of Archer ever (fourth wall 26).

And then it got more exciting.]

...did they just kill Lana? That's it, I'm writing a strongly worded letter. [A beat.] With bullets.

[nepotism]

[ it's all fun and games until someone gets their face blown off.

fred's been laughing and joking and cracking beers with deadpool and anyone else gathered to catch their pals on tv, but the moment the impromptu blackout hit, his demeanor shifted entirely, and he's been perched on the edge of his seat, veins bulging out in his neck. obviously, the only people shown are the ones whose action has taken place onstage and he looks increasingly anxious. ]

Where the hell are the rest of them? [ his eyes scan the edge of the screen as if he can will the camera to pan over ]

[What are you talking about Fred, that is the best part? Lila looks up from painting her nails and glances at the screen.]

Stage left. Bears. [Shruuuuuuug.]

[Faye probably showed up just to have ammo to mock Finnick later for sucking. Too bad he was kind of good. She's also been snatching popcorn from Deadpool because while the guy is a weirdo, his taste in snacks is fine... so long as none of his thrown popcorn accidentally hits her.

Once everything starts going to hell, she watches a bit more intently. She doesn't really know anyone there, so she's not exactly worried, but this is way more eventful than she was expecting.]

Do you think Wynn knows about this? [So far most of her missions have involved some level of secrecy. This is sure... the opposite of that. She's interested to see what sort of trouble this move gets people in.]

[Some of it has hit her sorry bro. Whatever. Deadpool's still pretty invested in the tv show.]

Did you catch Ben Affleck's name before he got shot in the face?

[bittersweeter]

Daredevil? I was just calling him Ray Charles. [She holds up her hand, squinting at her nails. She doesn't answer Faye's question because its stupid.]
