NEW YEAR'S CONCERT/PARTY MINGLE OTA

[roundandaround]

WHO: Everyone! Members of the Music Club who want to perform, everyone else who volunteered their services for the party, and anyone who wants to see them or just party for New Year's.
WHAT: The Music Club End-of-Year Live and New Year's Party
WHEN: Night of December 31
WHERE: Sunwaning Theatre
WARNINGS: None so far

After the ad had gone out, Rinku got to work organizing. She worked things out with the Sunwaning Theatre and booked both a concert hall and a meeting hall, got a permit from the city for fireworks, and got food and games sorted. Hey, maybe Eve had been right when she told her to pursue a career in party planning. Rinku would think about that later.

When people started arriving from 6 to 7 was the dinner and games. Guests would be directed to one of the theatre's meeting halls, where the performers would also be able to mingle around and eat. Food tables were there to sit down at, serving end-of-year Sunwaning standards like shrimp, fried fish, pickled lotus root, and plenty of mochi and candied chestnuts. The theatre's catering staff put a lot of work in!

Once the meal was finished, there was an array of games to go around and play. Some may be familiar from other parties and concert after/pre-parties, such as ring toss and Pin the Tail on the Human (the human has been reprinted after a few too many parties), but one stood out as new: the scavenger hunt! A selection of items were hidden around the meeting hall for people to mark down the locations of; some were easy, like a big ribbon tied to one of the tables, but others took more thought, like a cheki from a Riki concert sticking out of the frame of a painting on the wall. Everyone got candy who won one of the games before the time came to file out of the meeting hall and up into the theatre.

The concert ran later in the night, featuring the assorted talents of the Music Club both together and separately. From live remix covers to acoustic instrument solos to whatever Stelle was doing with that otamatone, everyone who wanted to was there with one goal: keeping the audience hyped to celebrate the new year. A giant disco ball hung over the audience, scattering the stage lights around. At the end of the night, the talents on the stage counted down to midnight, and the disco ball broke open and scattered paper confetti onto the audience as the cheer began.

Finally, as everyone filed outside at the end of the show, there was one more performance: a firework show, contracted out to Wylan. The colourful fireworks lit up the sky over Sunwaning for everyone to watch as they headed back to their homes (or other parties, or wherever else they wanted to go).

THE CONCERT

[roundandaround]

(For performers: you can describe your act/any acts your character was involved with here!

If your character isn't yet involved with the Music Club and you want them to participate, we can handwave that so you can put them in here. Membership is always open and flexible.)

[roundandaround]

[Naturally, Rinku is all about singing, dancing, and mixing music tracks as DJ Link. Yes, she brought her entire DJ booth here, it somehow folded up into her Hammerspace Purse. She's doing updated versions of original songs she's performed before, as well as some new stuff -- including songs from anime, games, and other things. (Maybe even your character's canon or a friend's, provided they're on the fourth wall permission post; otherwise, maybe something you also recognize from home?)

When she's guesting on other people's songs, and at the big full-club number at the end, there's a feeling throughout the crowd encouraging everyone to feel more excited for the new year. Huh, maybe it's just the atmosphere?]

[ Stelle's performance is actually a bit of a set list. She's done the DJ thing before both here and in Penacony assisting Rappa now, but today she's here with a friend, that of which may or may not be familiar to a couple of people: an otamatone.

She decides to play a few songs, those of which may have some vocals going along with it.

She starts off with Moon Halo, followed by If I Can Stop One Heart from Breaking.

For the finale of her section, Stelle magically pulls out her hat, placing it on her head and starts to dance even as she plays her last song, WHITE NIGHT on her otamatone. She's plenty skilled, hilariously enough, being able to dance rather well with the beat while playing the silly instrument. ]

[Guitar was, surprisingly, Shouto's choice despite how impossibly loud it makes him seem; though he, himself, isn't as keen to stand out. His Quirk's his prop, but he does manage as both a background and back-up—lending in spells, weaving magics between his strings and various ice effects he scatters about. No dance, but bursts of snow to catch the lights; a strike of a match when he "throttles" his flames, showers the stage in scattering sparks to sprinkle about and bounce like drops.

He's borrowed the moon (so to speak!), and winter's light refracts in twos, threes, illuminates others in fogs of white and waves of frost-clouds and diamond dusts; the mirrored ball sparkling overhead, back towards others to highlight the group. Twists of ice trim the stage, and he moves small geysers to rise and fall, shapeshifts sculptures to mirror each beat, rhythm, alternate elements colored in light and moved in little, lively patterned jumps. He doesn't sing, but there's his effort to "hype the crowd", to lend his best however much in all the ways he's promised to do.

To be reserved, he's playing his heart out...!]

[Ren is a very surprise quest, only asking to perform just before the concert. Just like that, he only performs one song (Orange Rhapsody, if link doesn't work) before joining others at the party to greet old and new friends.]
