Summer Dance Mix (open player plot)
WHO: People around Ellipsa and also Rinku
WHAT: The curse that creates a simulation game of your world is back, but it’s… significantly more harmless (except maybe for your wallet).
WHEN: July 6
WHERE: Weird mind space
WARNINGS: Some discussion of trauma/teamnesia games and what goes on in those, as well as the recent Cursed RPG, Jar of Human Poké Ball, and Lobotomy Corporation player plots.
[You were going about your day. Maybe you were hoping for something nice to happen after everything that’s been going on in town these days. It’s been a rough summer so far, after all, for some more than others.
Something grabs you, though. In the real world, you’ve fallen asleep where you stand, but from your perspective, you suddenly see a stage lit up purple and a cheering crowd.]
RAISE YOUR HANDS UP!!!

Let’s Go!
NEXT MEMBER IS…
[Light flashes, and you’re standing backstage. There are others standing around too, some you might recognize. On the stage, you’ll see a DJ booth with your faces on it. One of you might have an instrument, another a fancy glowstick or two, and you’ve all got microphone headsets on.
The announcer is calling you on stage.
Welcome to D4FES.]

[Have fun – it’s an open, lighthearted variation on the cursed-item player plot! Info is here, but basically your character is now expected to perform a DJ live, either alone or in a group (players can work that out). There are turntables on the stage that you suddenly know how to use, and characters who wish to fulfill extra roles in units while one of their threadmates DJs will also have whatever equipment they need and the knowledge to use it. Want to VJ? You’ve got a laptop ready, and mysteriously, all the art or video footage you can imagine is there to project onto the screen behind you or into your LED penlights. Want to play live music? Have an instrument!
The post will be divided into three toplevels in chronological: Free Play (where you play your first round and get used to Suddenly You’re On Stage), Gacha (backstage mingle with everyone else, where a gacha mechanic will put you in new clothes that make you feel stronger and that your threadmates can envy and/or laugh at), and Raid (go perform again with all your new skill and score high enough to break out of the simulation).
As is standard, no powers. We don’t want any accidents on stage.]

So... so are we just getting with the program..?
[It sure seems like it! For better or worse, he's kind of used to suddenly being thrown into situations. He can improvise, adapt, overcome! Sorry, audience, but he's going to play Gintama music (sped up!)!]

1/2
He uses the turntables to scratch some effects into the song, but while he knows how to do it (suddenly - was this knowledge downloaded into his brain M*tr*x-style?!), he simply can't seem to find the right rhythm... if he's honest, Rinku's music, while definitely great at getting crowds pumped up into dancing, is kind of heart-attack inducing! He likes some heavier sounds... can he do that?]

As the song comes toward completion, what's he aiming for now?]
no subject
He puts one more Nightcore'd Gintama song on because he needs
time to think of something elseto establish his brand, again shredding along on the guitar at pirvotal moments... and this time, he'll add visuals! Inspired by the Sebonzakura add-on he purchased for his swords, he projects explosions of cherry blossoms onto the big screen by manipulating the laptop with one hand whenever he can, naturally with a 3D effect... and he'll try to add in a resounding chime effect for every explosion, too!Damn, I'm already getting exhausted... how does Rinku-chan do this for hours on end?!]

It is exciting to be in the limelight and have countless people cheer you on, he can't deny it - too exciting for him to want to do as his full-time job, but it's like an emotional energy drink! It's not all that unlike the adrenaline rush he feels during a battle, is it? He ends the song on a resounding guitar twang- and cherry blossom chime combination, then gives the crowd a little wave... an understated gesture, sure, but he's still feeling a bit timid despite the support!]
Thank you!

B Rank Clear!
[His early fumbling seems to have cost him points, but the latter portion of the live saved him from failing. The crowd goes wild, waving their lights in whatever colours they seem to think fit him -- a number of them picked gold, others went for white, and there are a few silvers floating around.
Congratulations on making it through your first round, Hijikata. Time to head backstage, roll gacha with the diamonds that are dropped into your lap, and ponder the vision of an obviously disguised Rinku buying an obviously cursed book that you see when you walk off the stage.]

As he makes his way backstage, he looks around for something like a manager or moderator or what-have-you. If there's no such person to be found, he'll just ask into the general area - maybe one of the others knows?]
Can I get a redo?
[Look at how he fast-tracked his character development from a midlife-crisis-plagued man to a fresh-faced samurai DJ idol..!!]
