[Lakendell of course was not spared of the recent purging either, as Leo was quick to find out. While almost everyone was accounted for (including Takumi, much as Leo was loathe to admit), he couldn't locate his younger sister anywhere. It didn't take a genius to figure out what had happened, especially with all of the recent postings. So there on the screen now was Leo, calm as he ever was, alongside the horse whose fur matched Leo's own pitch black armor. With that armor, it seemed clear that he was readying himself for combat somewhere.]

I assume that this place also has its own bouts of "spring cleaning," if the recent news is any indication. As much as I hate to say it, my family was not spared either. If there are those of you who were familiar with my sister Elise, she was among the recent departures.

[For just having lost his sister, he seems to be taking it all relatively well. If only because he has the comfort of knowing that back home with suspended time, he knows that Elise is most likely safe. At the very least, she was safe in his timeline. He would like to think the same of the timeline the rest of his siblings were from.]

Regardless of this loss, the Nohrian Family will still be able to give our unwavering aid and dedication to the protection of Fayren alongside the Guardian and her personally chosen team of Deputies.

[He would have referred to Azura as his sister in that particular statement, but in this case he would rather refer to her in a professional manner regarding her elected position. It is a position of the highest regard, after all.]


[Action - "Smoke on the Water" Bounty; Fayren Forest]

[As if to prove his statement of being at the aid of Fayren, Leo had been making preparations to set out for the lake where the "mage activity" had been reported. What a ridiculous way to use one's magical talents. Surely there was a more sinister reason that the victims were dragged into the lake. Leo had his doubts that it was solely killing for fun. If a mage was involved, then he could fathom one of two things immediately: Either there is something at the bottom of the lake that needs feeding (which could potentially be unleashed on Fayren in the future), or the mage is protecting something- something that can't be known by the populace for any reason. Perhaps it was a combination of the two. Regardless, Leo doubted it would be very difficult to find the cause- and if it truly is another magic user, well, they'll regret very quickly that they now have Nohr's finest sorcerer after their head.

He had set out a couple hours prior to the time that the smoke was frequently reported, observing from afar on horseback. For now, he had to first wait for the smoke before he could make any proper plan of action. Regardless of whatever it responsible for these disappearances, they will rue the day they targeted something under the watchful eye of Nohr.]

{ Action }
Zaveid is staring at buildings and street names as he keeps a pace between a brisk walk and a run. It might take a second to place what's wrong, since the seraph was mostly human looking to begin with, but his hair has lost the green tips, and his eyes are a tad bit more brown than orange.

"Shit, shit shit- What street is it on?" Someone has uh.. never walked to work, usually taking his lazier and faster wind way directly there.

He is not enjoying the sensation of being winded, as otherwise hilarious as it would be. A Wind seraph, winded.

Alright, people who gotta eat all the time.

How do you remember to.

[ Someone looks a little less than his best because uh. He might have forgotten all day. ]

While the party isn’t due to start for a good while, Fama’s crew has arrived excruciatingly early to make the most of the promised sunrise and their talent’s time. Most of the crew are milling about under the tent around the coffee bar that’s been so generously erected in the sand when they’re not prepping the area for the shoot.

When the talent arrives, they’re greeted by an array of staff members and stylists armed with swag bag totes filled with necessities for the day- water bottles, sunscreen, etc.- and a cap and a white, full zip sweatshirt tailored to just their size, all baring the company’s logo. Maybe a little out of place, given the sudden heat wave, but the weather has promised them a perfect day for the beach at a cozy 72 degrees… and a somewhat chilly morning, especially for those expected to pose in the early tides.

The talent is free to mingle, encouraged to get some coffee and breakfast from the spread, get to know one another, and chat about their upcoming performances for the day when they’re not busy with their shoots or slates, be they promotional for the company brand or for pre-agreed projects for clients.



The music starts long before anyone ever takes the stage, but when it finally stops and the chattering from the crowd dies down…the party really begins.

The lights finally move into action and cast their effects onto the stage and over the dancers suddenly bursting to life for the crowd. The welcome song is upbeat and… honestly borderline obnoxious, but it’s definitely there to set the mood for a massive beach party. Dove, today’s MC and resident ray-of-sunshine archangel takes the stage toward the end of the song to finish out the number with her fellow performers, then applauds along with the crowd as the group exits the stage and a new set arrives.

“Hey everyone,” she purrs over the microphone, breaking her ‘come hither’ character almost immediately and laughing as the crowd jumps to life again. There’s no point in even trying to subdue her bright and sunny attitude, even for a quick tease. “Welcome to Fama’s Beach Party of 2018!”

The onstage band starts another song, just the beat, and she continues her greeting over it, all the while playfully pacing the stage.

“If you haven’t caught on by now, I’ll be yours all afternoon, evening, and well into the morning if you’ll have me~” Alright, maybe she hasn’t entirely dropped the flirty bit- “We have some amazing performances coming your way today, and plenty to do along the shore, so kick back, grab a drink, and just let go. The day is ours so Let’s party!”

From there, she jumps right into the first two songs, then relinquishes the stage to the next long sequence of performers, only interrupting to introduce each musical guest.

She’ll be back here and there throughout the performances with a few playful songs and teasing one liners of her own to keep the party going.

“This is going to get me in so much trouble, but show of hands, who out there is single tonight?”

PARTY PLAYLIST (Will update as performances are posted in threads!)





Volleyball tourney

Further from the stage, Volleyball courts have been marked out with foam posts, nets stretched taut across the centers. There’s a staff member at each of the first few with a clipboard, ready to welcome teams to the pits and referee, while some of the courts further down are meant simply for fun (or practice). So grab some friends, a Fama beach ball, and ready, set, spike!


House Boat

Link and Sidon’s apartment that they shared was, indeed, a boat. So of course they had to bring it right to the party! The beaches were filled up, but their house boat was available for partying as well. While on it music played loudly, drinks were colds and in coolers that were scattered about the deck area. The music meant someone could dance, but also sit and chat while on the deck of the boat.


Feel free to swim out here and grab a cold one and enjoy some music! Sidon will have his Wailord out as well, moving through the waters. Jump on the back of this massive whale and enjoy the sun in style!


Races!

Along the shore of the waters, people will find jet skis that have been supplied for them. Whoever would like is able to pair up, or possibly challenge Sidon who is hosting this event. These jet skis are for races, and whoever wins gets bragging rights and the satisfaction of being the fastest! Do not worry about possibly falling off at any point, Sidon and his Pokemon will be in the water to assist. Samurott and Gyarados will be at the ready for any individuals that may topple into the waters.

Pair up and move out!

Surfing/jetskis/diving/kites/etc

For the less competitive party goers, there are also jet skis and surfboards along the shore further down, well out of the range of the races, should anyone want to partake. Just ask the guy in the Fama shirt, and he’ll hook you up with the equipment, while some of the other attendees might hook you up with some gnarly waves, dude.


The breeze also seems to be exceptionally cooperative today as well, even with the thirty degree drop in heat from the previous days. Grab a kite and try it out!




It would be a long, LONG day with no food or drink around. No one wants to be parched while they party!


Luckily for the crowds, there are stations scattered all around the event with spreads of fruits and veggies and treats of all types, all provided by local businesses from the area, but the centerpiece of it all is the large hut, surrounded by tables, chairs, and umbrellas under which one can find a fully stocked, well-staffed bar (provided, of course, by one Gale Reinhardt) and a grill covered in fare sizzling under the watch of today’s keyblade grill-master, Lea.


The hut is also conveniently home to a large display of merchandise for sale featuring the celebrities performing and currently in attendance. Snag a poster, album, or shirt (or two…or five) and hunt down your idols for autographs!




When Dove returns to the stage, the mood changes completely. She’s forgone her swimwear and changed into something much more romantic, hair in long waves cascading over her shoulder and her happy angel’s glow subtle and warm. The lights dim low until only she and the musicians are visible with soft lights- The sky will be the focus true for this one.


The show starts off as soft and sweet, fireworks popping up here and there in quiet pastels. The next song builds with a show of silver and gold then leads into the next and then final songs with a full array of colors.

The music can be heard anywhere along the beach, as the feed from the stage area will be pumped along through speakers spread here and there, take a seat, cuddle up with that special someone (or another drink), and enjoy the show.


Just because the sun is disappearing doesn’t mean the fun is slowing down! Glowing lights strung from umbrellas and posts that seem to be popping up along the shore, keeping things fairly well lit, but much more soothing than earlier in the day.

The Volleyball courts have now been outfitted with backlights and buckets of glow paint, should anyone wish to paint on and glo up in support of their team…or just for fun for photos!

There are also now staff members and photographers handing out sparklers, careful to pass on the safety instructions, but cheerfully enabling everyone to have fun!

The roll of the ocean and now (somehow) clear skies set the perfect mood for a stroll down the beach, away from the energy and volume of the crowds. It’s a beautiful evening, and the stars seem to provide a perfect sense of peace in stark contrast to the jam packed area near the stage.

The music continues right up until the last hour, at which point Dove takes the stage for one last time. The song is a little different, still energetic, but as it’s finally winding down and fading out, Dove takes her last bow and waves her goodbyes. “I, along with the Fama family want to thank each and every one of you gorgeous people for joining us today! We had a ton of fun, and hope you did too. Enjoy the rest of the evening, and stay safe out there, and we’ll see you all next time! I’m off to grab some s’mores!”

And with a kiss and a wink to the crowd, she’s headed off the stage as the music fades into a repeat of just the beat and then into generic house music.



Once the party has begun to wind down and the staff begins to break down the stage and light rigging, bonfires pop up along the beach, each large and welcoming and accompanied by a nearby box full of the necessities for s’mores. It’s the perfect place to plop down with a guitar, a drink, a lover, or just your friends and enjoy the evening and the stars hanging overhead.

…Just be careful not to fall in if you’ve had one too many…

Action;

[Waking up in a cocoon wasn't something that Mikleo expected. It was possibly something to do with Nyoi-cho having another shift. He wasn't freaking out yet. So expecting to wake up in his home, he was cautious about where he was. Weird things like this have happened before, so it wasn't a stretch to say that Kyuubey was up to something again. After getting out of the cocoon and grabbing the stuff he woke up with, he quickly felt for his circlet. It was still there, but the question was, was it still connected to his own life force? Part of him wanted to test to see if that was true, but he knew that was a stupid idea; it was best not to experiment with it. He'd find out soon enough.

Okay, well now that he's addressed that, he turned his attention to his surroundings. He didn't feel that pinging in his mind letting him know that there were any Magi around... That in itself was strange to him. He then looked to the phone he woke up with. It was obviously a phone, but it wasn't the one he'd gotten back in Nyoi-cho. It was much more advanced than his other one (he had a simple flip phone) and he wasn't sure he'd be able to work this phone that well. His pocket mirror.... Where did that go? He couldn't find it on his persons, so he was assuming that he no longer had it with him. Guess he wasn't going to be contacting the other Magi with it. Well, it was time to find out after he check out what was going on with the holograph.]

Video;

[Mikleo has tried to catch up on the basics while being here before turning to the phone. He seemed pretty calm for someone who'd just awoken here.]

I think this is a getting a bit out of hand, don't you, Kyuubey?

[Not that he expected him to respond to him, but he'll call him out on this bullshit right away.]

So what's going on with Nyoi-cho now, hm? I'm assuming to has some witch influence in some way. If that's the case, I'm going to need all the information I can gather. If there's a Nightmare going on, I have to do what I can to try to help.

Well, whatever the case is, if there are any fellow Magi around here, it would be good to know so that we can work together to solve this. My name is Mikleo and I'm from Elysia, back in my world. If there are people from my world that are here with me, I only have one thing to say to you.

You're all idiots for selling your soul to Kyuubey. [Not that he can say anything. He's an idiot who's sold his soul a while back.]

Anyways, I'll be making my rounds, but there's a lot that I ned to find out about this 'Genessia'. If there's anyone who recognizes me, let me know.

[And just like that, he's done.]

[OOC: Mikleo is a CRAU from Soulgemmed, a Puella Magi Madoka Magica AU game. You can find the information here in his OOC intro that I put up a while ago. But just like I said there, he won't have his abilities from SG (he'll have his normal abilities) nor will he have a working Soul Gem, but he will retain his memories. If there are any people that he was friends with there here, he'll more than likely remember them. If you would rather he didn't remember you, that's completely okay! Just let me know. Otherwise you're free to just say you don't know him because I don't expect anyone to do so. I have a feeling if he was friends with them before, he can become friends with them again.]

{Video}
[ Its actually a couple seconds where there's a video, then just sound, then a video again. The phone direction pamphlet makes an appearance, then the somewhat battered face of Zaveid.

He stares blankly for a second, then pops a grin. ]

Anyone got a favorite bar around here?

[ Priorities, right? ]

{ Action }
[ The phone thing proved that people could see him, which was not the weirdest but still pretty weird, so into a holster that goes, and he winds the necklace around an arm as he wanders.

... Might as well explore the city until its evening, at least. Not too weird for humans, right?? Ugh, when was the last time he paid that much attention?

..... ]

Daaamn, brat didn't pull any punches... [ Maybe he should check out that housing thing and take a nap. ]
