Opening Night [OPEN]

[shikisha]

Who: Nonon Jakuzure and anyone who's interested in classical music, saw her post, or was invited by her. Feel free to tag around too and meet other people in their beautiful formal wear~!
When: Some Friday after her post.
Where: Opera House
What: Nonon has been working with the opera house's orchestra, and being the controlling girl she is, decided to stage a few concerts. Formal dress is expected. Nui Harime interrupts and kisses Nonon.
Rating/Warning: None likely.



It's opening night, and there's a nice big display board in front of the opera house announcing the first performance of Nonon Jakuzure conducting the house orchestra. Even with a little stylized depiction of Nonon with her signature pink hair and smug grin.

Formal dress is expected, though some people might be able to sneak inside in casual wear, just don't let Nonon catch you. She's going to be in the front of the house though, inside past the ticket booths where people can pick up tickets set aside for them ahead of time, if Nonon had done so. Of course, it's about as analogue as you can imagine, Nonon wasn't about to use the Cerevices to do ticketing, that just isn't classical, it would ruin the entire mood. No, she wants lines and printed tickets.

After greeting any friends or acquaintances the lights in the hall lower once, then twice, signalling the start. She disappears into the back, only to reappear on stage under a bright spotlight with the loud, almost deafening sound of a whistle.

"Entrance March! Under the Double Eagle!" She waves a large pink baton this way then back again. "Now, prepare for a jaunty, thrilling, and mind-blowing performance!"

She's dressed in a flashy conductor's outfit, and proceeds to lead the orchestra into their first song. The rest of more standard affairs of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, music people might have heard if they are from Earth, or somewhere vaguely Earth-like. In general it's not actually that long of a concert, no more than an hour and a half or so, with a short intermission. She wants to hit people with the loudest, most impressive sort of music she can, leaving them wanting more.

Sometime towards the end of the performance, the lights go out completely, only to return with a spotlight on one adorable blonde girl giggling. She invades the stage as if she belongs there, striding right up to Nonon to give her a kiss on the conductor's angry, shocked face, before floating away impossibly. Holding in her anger, Nonon wipes her lips with the back of her hand, blushing furiously, and proceeds with the last song after yelling at Nui Harime, something about getting even with her.

By the end she'll be hanging around the stage, meeting anyone who wishes to speak to her, and then going backstage to change if certain close relations wish to meet her there. She expects flowers to be thrown though of course, maybe even a standing ovation~.


[ ooc: Feel free to run into her whenever! And the date is kinda nebulous, just assume after the latest event. If you have any questions PM me or hit me up on plurk at ashleywr! ]

[ She's never heard of that artist. ]

Oh? What sort of music do they play?

[niceguypose]

Ah... she plays music about the blank space! It is very catchy. From it, I learned exactly what it means to be a nightmare disguised as a daydream!

[fittedgloves]

...The blank space?

[ Whatever he's talking about, it sounds interesting at least. ]

[niceguypose]

That's right! It is a blank space in which names are inscribed... Ah, Kyouko-san, I must expose you to this song sometime!

[fittedgloves]

It sounds like a song you really enjoy. I would be happy to hear it.

[niceguypose]

Thank you, Kyouko-san! Let me see if I can find a way to play it right now...

[He takes out his CereVice and starts fiddling with it.]

[fittedgloves]

[ She watches him as he messes with the device. ]

So you use yours to store music as well? [ She hadn't really thought as the CereVice as more than just a means for communication, but it really could do so much more than Kyouko had been using it for so far. ]

[niceguypose]

Yes! I am still learning a lot about this device... but it seems to have a number of handy uses!

[Finally after some tinkering, a song starts playing.]

[fittedgloves]

It does. I should use it for things other than communication.

[ When the music starts, Kyouko goes silent. It's been a while since she's heard a pop song, and it's not bad. ]

I can see why you enjoy this song.

[niceguypose]

It is a very handy device, for sure! It can do many things...

[As the music plays, he scrolls through some other features, and a number of pictures of cats from the internet appear, both memey and cutesy.]

Isn't it a pleasant and catchy song? It seems to reflect youth!

[fittedgloves]

[ She watches as he scrolls through the pictures. ]

Are those saved to your device? [ What an interesting selection of pictures. ]

[niceguypose]

That's right! Isn't it interesting? I am still learning a lot about technology, but it is all so fascinating!

[fittedgloves]

It is. The technology here far surpasses the technology in my own world. It's interesting to learn about.

[niceguypose]

Is that so? Yes, it is far beyond anything I have dreamed of as well! What is your home like, Kyouko-san?

[fittedgloves]

It was modern. Not to this extent, but it might have looked similar in a few decades.

[ If everything hadn't gone to hell, of course. ]

What about yours, Lee-kun?

[niceguypose]

Ah... I believe that our world is some decades behind as well. We have some technology, like radios and videos, but we do not have television or telephones or computers...

[fittedgloves]

How interesting... It sounds like your world is further back in time than mine.

[niceguypose]

Ah... Yes, perhaps so! Maybe it will take less effort for you to learn this technology then, Kyouko-san!

[fittedgloves]

I hope so. [ It's been easy so far... ]

If you need any help, I can try to assist you.

[niceguypose]

Thank you, Kyouko-san! I will keep that offer in mind for the future. For now, I will see how far I can get in this endeavor under my own power! I hope I make you proud!

[fittedgloves]

I wish you luck. I would be happy to see anything especially interesting that you may find.

[niceguypose]

[He nods.] Is that so? I will be sure to report anything interesting directly to you, Kyouko-san! I promise!! [And he pumps a fist in the air to reflect this.]

[fittedgloves]

[ Ever so energetic.

There's a short pause, as Kyouko's not really used to doing this— ]

...I would like to thank you for that night, when we ran into one another at the mall.

[niceguypose]

Ah! That night? Do not worry, I am glad to have helped you! And I should thank you as well- you helped me out too!

[fittedgloves]

It was quite lucky for us to run into one another. I hope you managed to get out safely after I left.
