we're not alone, we're not alone

WHO: Rinku and everyone! Everyone's invited.
WHAT: A live DJ Link show in advance of the autumnal equinox
WHEN: Evening of the 19th, before the expedition
WHERE: Sunwaning Theatre
WARNINGS: None so far

[You've probably seen the posters around town -- either the terribly drawn amateurish posters Rinku put up in the first week of the month or the replacements she got from MK that actually made sense and looked nice. For the autumnal equinox, Rinku, or DJ Link, is throwing a concert in the Sunwaning Theatre with afterparty to follow.

The signs inside the building lead you to one of the stages, and you can also pick up a light-up bracelet or simple glowsticks in orange if you don't have a bracelet or penlight. The stage has been decorated with leaves, and lights move around until the show starts and they lift to focus on the booth and Rinku standing behind it in her usual performance outfit.]


How are we, Ellipsa? It's time to welcome in fall! I'm gonna make you all 「Happy Around!」

[1) The Concert]

[Rinku launches into a bouncy set as the lights and fall-themed decorations turn the theatre into an orange party zone. She plays some of her usual fare, but also some newer songs and a bunch of anime covers. Maybe some from things you know! ...Or things you're from, shh.

At one point, a cardboard box slightly taller than a ruler toddles on stage with little eye and arm holes cut out from it that make it obvious there's something in there. Something small and blue. Rinku helps the "box" up into the booth in front of a little Baby's First Keyboard and announces that Mecchan, her Sobble, has worked up the courage to be on stage and sing about his favourite thing, so everyone please support him! ...What follows is a song about curry rice with Rinku singing and working the booth and Mecchan playing the keyboard and warbling, up until he gets too nervous and starts blowing bubbles out the eye holes of the box. Rinku pats him afterwards and lets him scurry off stage, leading the crowd in applauding for Mecchan.

The rest of the set is back to normal, excitable party music, and then ends with a slow love song to wind things down. Rinku cheers and waves at the crowd.]


How was that, everyone? We're gonna have a lot more fun after the show, so I hope you're all ready ♪

[2) The Afterparty]

[In one of the basement ballrooms that theatres tend to have, there is indeed an afterparty for those inclined to stick around. There are tables lined up with riceballs (it's Rinku), donuts (it's Rinku), and fall supper items like beef stew if you're really hungry, with seating for you to eat at.

But it's not just food! Peppered around are games like ring toss, a piñata, and yes, pin the tail on the human is back just as it was in the anniversary party. You can also start the usual party games like Never Have I Ever or Two Truths and a Lie, or just go around mingling with friends new and old.

Rinku will also be around, with Mecchan out of the box and perched on her shoulder, recovering from stage fright and looking nervously proud of his accomplishment.]

[Hijikata lets himself be blindfolded, gets a feel for the weight of the (fake) club, and delivers such well-aimed and unreasonably violent swing that the piñata - which had been tough enough to withstand the attacks so far - burst all over the place, spilling candy and confetti. Some people cheer, some groan - leave it to the violent cop to treat it like a monster!]

I got it!!
mayoninofukucho: (Thanks for that.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2024-09-21 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[He looks smug as hell over his feat, casually twirling the club in his hand while leaving the candy to everyone else.]

I don't half-ass things, especially not an asskicking!

[He may or may not have enhanced his "weapon" in the short moment he was holding it. Fun and games, what's that? Everything's a competition!]
mayoninofukucho: (Well-Rested for Once)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2024-09-22 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Games are just practice for reality. - Now, now, Mecchan, it was just a piñata. It's straight-up made to be broken. Was it too scary for you?

[Sobbles really cry easily!]
mayoninofukucho: (I'm just sitting here.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2024-09-22 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm...

[Definitely not 'Pin the Tail on the Human'. He's not very stealthy, and he didn't like getting a pig tail pinned on him the last time around!]

How about 'Two Truths and a Lie'? I can start us off:

I've cut a flying bullet in two once.
I've defeated a bunch of terrorists while double-handcuffed to another guy.
I won the lottery and that's how I became a multimillionaire.
mayoninofukucho: (Mission Complete)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2024-09-22 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[He stares at Rinku - but then he remembers. Of course she'd know that! he laughs.]

Yeah. Man, that was such a shitshow. Stupid odd-jobs guy...

[He says it fondly, though, despite it having been crushing at the time. He could have won 300 million Yen to build a mayonnaise theme park with!]

How about you?
mayoninofukucho: (Uniform)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2024-09-22 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Damn, I have to guess that.

[If only D4DJ hadn't come after his time! Alas.]

I call a lie on the fortune! I don't think you're that lucky.
mayoninofukucho: (Behave!)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2024-09-22 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd say! So you are that lucky! But, hm... then you probably didn't win the Sunset Stage.

[It's not like he doesn't think Rinku earned success back home, but didn't she mention meeting some senior DJs or idols at some point? Was that Call of Artemis? He can't remember anymore!]
mayoninofukucho: (New Hope)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2024-09-23 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
D4FES is the one I competed in, right? In the simulation?

[He wants to understand how his experience fits into the D4DJ lore!]

But kudos to you guys for keeping on trying! Other heroines would probably have won right away, and that'd have been predictable and boring.
mayoninofukucho: (Happy)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2024-09-23 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
That's the spirit, Rinku-chan!!

[There's not that much of a difference between a DJ and a samurai! Persistence is key! Checking his phone, though, shows Hijikata that he lost track of time.]

Ah, darn, I need to go... I've got to bring the pokémon over to Jean's place before we head out tomorrow. Did you also sign up for the vanguard?
mayoninofukucho: (Enjoy it while it lasts!)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2024-09-23 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Surely, that's for the best! Hijikata puts a lot of stock into his battleworthy pokémon, but he won't subject them to the trickery and whims of fae and fairies either.]

Very good. I'll see you then - thank you for the party!

[Rinku's music got everyone pumped up and happy as always, he got to know another thing about her, and he got to smash a piñata! What more could he ask for on the eve of the expedition? He may just grab another onigiri for the way.]
