[ADVENTURE] Sellout Crowd

Who: Takane Shijou (

sorewatopsecret ) and you!
When: February 18th; Various Times
Where: Corastra Hall
What: A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness a famed musician in town at an affordable price is upon us! However, upon arrival, a devastating discovery is made...!?
Style: I'm starting with prose, but I'll follow your lead!
Status: Open!

Takane Shijou was determined. If she had been whisked away from Japan for an indeterminate amount of time, then she'll attempt to accomplish her mission here in the meanwhile, and become a public figure of some sort. However, knowing that this was a completely different world with its own social dynamics, she could not just suddenly throw around the song and dances she's been trained to do. No... She will need to collect more information and gain insight. But how?

It when she catches wind of some rumors regarding one Myala Mxyawtna, a seemingly famed musician, and the fact that she's throwing a surprise concert for tonight only, Takane knew. This was her biggest chance to conduct some research into the musical tastes of this world, and use it to build her own name as an entertainer here, and most importantly... to gauge the competition and hills she'll need to surmount.However, such events were best enjoyed with the company of others, therefore...

Whether you were send a overly stuffy letter of invitation from Takane or happened to be passing by Coastra Hall, you'll find the silver-haired young woman, now sufficiently warm in a black overcoat, pacing around in front of a suspiciously uncrowded ticket box. She's unusually frazzled, a large contrast to the calm and collected demeanor that some have come to familiarize themselves with.

"It is most terrible... My goodness, how could this have happened!?" Her voice is strained with distress and disproportionate melodrama as she now directs her strides towards you. "My esteemed peer, I beseech you! Pray tell, advise me on what I must do...!"

((ooc: Feel free to join into one thread, or interact with Takane separately. I can handwave them as multiple attempts for her to gain advice at different times throughout the day, and you can either aid her or try to discourage her, the latter of which will lead to her and your character doing something else in town for CR building purposes. Since we're limited to one roll per month, I will only allow one person to make an attempt at getting into the concert, which I'll determine from talking it out OOC/how the thread is going/both.))

The Secrets of Sundering - Log 1 - Open to All

The sooner Hel could learn something about the sort of magic that brought them here in the first place the sooner she might be able to return herself home. It was with that thought in mind that she carried out the week seeking information and listening to anything she could glean from her fellow students and staff as to where to even begin. One set of rumors specifically got her attention. It had the makings to either become a fool's errand or to great some insight into her query. Machalabie, was the oldest temple in Ascelion, and apparently if it was to be believed it could have very well been the backdrop to a religious cults attempts at sundering. The vintage itself bespoke of the possibility of being infused with arcane magic, so the appeal of investigating it was too great.

It would have been better, if she had her own magic to call upon or a few willing compatriots to bounce ideas off of, but seeing as she had only made a few acquaintances she wasn't sure who to ask. Besides, the building likely wasn't still in use so the danger was likely minute.

Leaving the school grounds, to head to the temple she didn't try to mask where she was going so anyone so inclined could have followed her. When she arrived at Machalabie, she took a moment to pause and look upon it. You could tell it was older compared to the temples that had built up around it, it must have seemed rather imposing in it's day. Walking up to it she soon entered the building and started getting a feel for the layout. Finding a secret chamber shouldn't be easy, but worthwhile.

[OOC: I re-read the faqs and such but if I'm doing this wrong please let me know! I can edit accordingly!]

closed to seto kaiba 👻 the mysterious building not on campus.

[ saya had made a point to stick her nose in a little bit of this and that in the hopes that she could learn a little bit more about this place. it paid off in the form of a rumor. hm, well, kind of. she overheard a couple talking about a building in the mayoral district, something she would have brushed off, if not for having also heard that it only appears at night. how fucken peculiar. but, then again, she's in the magical land of not!make-believe, so she supposes she better get used to the unusual, since it's going to be the norm. but back to the rumor! it wasn't anything particularly ground breaking, but because it was the only nugget of information she had gotten during her hours spend eavesdropping she was going to take advantage. ]

[ when night fell and her roommates were getting ready to turn in she crossed the room and plonked down on the end of seto's bed. ] Kaiba~kun~ [ she looked up at him with a devious smile. ] You're not doing anything tonight, right, because I could really use your help with something... [ she's keeping her discovery on the down low for now, since it could be a whole lot of nothing. but, if it's not, then the two of them will have a chance to learn something new about this place that they can later share. maybe; if they're feeling generous (*>艸<) ]

OTA - Xion catch all for Mid Feb (CW: suicide mentions)

This is not how we stay hidden!

Well, Xion has come to accept that killing herself is pointless until she can find a way to erase people's memories of her here. But she is still trying to actively avoid letting people make memories of her, so she is mostly avoiding people. She hasn't been to her dorm, she might have ghosted into a few classes late if the door was left open, the stand in the shadows near the door, but would flee if spotted. In town she also tries to stick to the shadows and stay hidden.

Which works passably well for the first day or two. Until the incident. For some reason someone thought that she was someone else, some singer or... something. Some Somebody. They screamed a name, and when she looked over, confused, they took that to mean they were right. Next thing Xion knew a mob was forming, screaming that name and... chasing her. Because no way was she standing still for that, and even with her Keyblade and powers...what could she do? These weren't Nobodies, these weren't Heartless, she couldn't ATTACK. So she RAN.

Anyone want to help a Nobody?

------------------

Sunsets and surprises

So those who have already met Xion probably know that she thinks everything would be better if she were dead and forgotten. This isn't to say that her idea of this is groundless, but it is certainly concerning. So what might also be concerning is that she has developed a habit of exploring to find ledges and rooftops on tall buildings, looking for one where she could sit and watch the sunset.

But she's never told anyone this is what she is doing, or why she is wandering around ledges near the end of each day.... So it might look a little concerning...

closed to atem; a children's 🃏 card game.

[ as soon as yugi had heard about an exciting new card game taking anastara by storm he couldn't contain himself. sure, it wasn't duel monsters, but he loved games of all kinds, so he jumped at the chance to get in on the fun. ]

[ literally. ]

[ as soon as he learned where he could get in on the fun he called for atem, roll his familiar dice, and took off for the tournament scene. he is so excited, and that much is clearly apparent in the way he volleys between asking questions and watching matches. it seems like it's easy to learn & hard to master sort of games... his favorite! he can't wait to get his hands on some of his own cards and, who knows, maybe he'll be lucky enough to get his hands on one of the fantastic foi- huh. ]

[ he's snapped straight out of his day dream at the sound of a couple of kids crying. ] Hey! [ he says, instincts taking over. ] Leave them alone. [ yugi approaches the scene, stopping to pick up the cards thrown to the ground and deemed trash by the upperclassman. ] Give them their cards back. You can't just take them. [ the upperclassman explain the ante rules, all while laughing. ]

... [ he looks to the kids, giving them an a small apologetic smile. ] Do you mind if I borrow these? I promise to give them back. [ at this point, the kids don't seem too invested in the game, the bullies having ruined it for them, so they have no problems giving their cards to yugi. ] If you want to play, then let's play. [ he spares a glance to atem, a playful smirk turning up his lips. ] We can even make it more interesting and have a four way match. [ oh, look, mittens has even come over to see what's going on! ]
