The Captives

[srwuga_mods]

[[Clearly locked to those who are the "Route Split" of being captured.

It's more like... classic jail cells, only updated for the future. Flat bunks for 4 people, with everything bolted down and otherwise, to keep it from being used as a weapon or escape. The holding block you're all in keeps most of you in sight of others across the hall. Clearly you can't see your neighbors, but you can hear and converse with them.

Adventus isn't inhumane, so, you're not all crowded. 4 people to a cell, so face-to-face actions are limited, but talking from cell to cell is clearly allowed.]]

A tall black man struts down the hall, accompanied by another man hunched over as though he were elderly, supported by a cane that is constantly changing colors (much like a glowstick). He also sports a rather spiffy gas mask which hides his eyes behind green LEDs. The duo is also accompanied by several armed guards to keep you kids in check.


Unleash this one and bring him to the room, LowKey.

[[IN SEPARATE THREADS, you may sign up to be brought along to a sound booth with "LowKey" and the other man. Or just yell at him from your cell. Make sure you denote that (2) in your subject line.
For Cheng, this is mandatory.]]

But if you are getting all of your big gigs now because of Adventus then what does that say? One of the great things about making it in the music world is the challenge to get a big gig. So when you get one and do well it is more satisfying. Right now it doesn't seem like the stage is yours. You are just someone opening for the headliner, mainly Adventus. Is that what you want?

I'm not saying you should join our side per say. I'm just saying that you don't need Adventus. You could run solo and still play for so many people.

[srwuga_mods]

Oh, I have other names, but I'm only one person under watch.

But all they can do is watch. [[He points to a corner in your room. Might that be surveillance there?]] What they hear from us... is whatever I decide. They might even think I'm cruelly torturing you for information.

It wouldn't hurt to look the part, of course.

But I digress. [[Oh wait, LowKey chimes in.]]

You ain't really gonna...

[[RGNK]] No, don't be stupid.

Headlining for them is a small price to pay sometimes. But do you really think they play anything good at all? [[Whatever music he's playing cuts into a record scratch.]]

NO! [[Oh wait... nope, not going off on a tangent. And that was such a good place too.]] You're rather smart for your age. And your beat is different... I wonder why that might be?

Again, I digress... It's not so simple as to just walk away to go off on my own. There's a contract, and a delicate balance in play. The scales have to be played and tipped properly. Even now, I think I'm orchestrating things quite nicely, don't you? [[Yes, he asked Fate this, not LowKey]]

[lightning-1.livejournal.com]

(Fate tenses a little a t the mention of torture and looking the part.)

I doubt that Adventus could play at all. In fact, I don't think they would look nearly as good without you.

Well I have been called a child prodigy. As for my beat...I believe I know why that is. Let's just say that my birth was a little special.

(Fate gives a serious look at RGNK.)

You're planning something. Something big, aren't you?

[srwuga_mods]

A true performer doesn't plan a small show.

Nobody comes to a concert to see a world-famous band play B-Sides in a garage. That kind of stuff is saved for a hiatus album... or "going back to your roots."

But that's enough of that. Anymore and I can't trust you won't tell everyone else, rival.

How about this band of yours?

[lightning-1.livejournal.com]

The Multiversals right now is more of band for the Chalice. We are playing because we like to and it helps to cheer everyone up. We are planning to release a CD sometime soon in hopes of gaining more a name for us. However, the problem is that people at the moment don't like the Chalice so we may not go over well. But I'm up to the challenge. I want to sing for the world.

(A look of pure determination shines in Fate's eyes.)

[srwuga_mods]

[[A look that the poor Doctor completely misses out on. But, he can hear her, which is just as good.]]

That so, yeah? Too bad you don't have a world-famous producer to get the name out.

[lightning-1.livejournal.com]

It is true. It would make things easier. But if we keep playing I'm sure we will find someone.

(It is then an idea crosses Fate's mind.)

When we get a name for ourselves would you like to play with us? Like having a rock off? I'm sure we could draw in a huge crowd.

[srwuga_mods]

I was actually offering to produce the CD... when, and if, things go my way.

If is a very important key word, here. But yes, I'd put myself against a band. I held my own against Johnny alone. And surely he's in the band? [[He doesn't know...]]

1/2

[lightning-1.livejournal.com]

(Fate's eyes widen a bit.)

Really?! You would do that for use? But why?

2/2

[lightning-1.livejournal.com]

Actually, Johnny left not long after we fought you. We haven't heard from him in months.

Re: 2/2

[srwuga_mods]

He took the loss that badly? Damn... [[He opens his eyes in surprise. They're white.]]

[lightning-1.livejournal.com]

I think so. He didn't even try to audition for the band. He just kind of up and left.

[srwuga_mods]

Well...

I suppose that is long enough though. Do try and keep things to yourself. I can't have you spoiling the grand finale.

[lightning-1.livejournal.com]

(Fate looks hard at RGNK and LowKey.)

RGNK, LowKey, what do you two plan to do with us?

[srwuga_mods]

It's not my call...

Did you mean personally? I plan on "interrogating" several of you in a similar manner. Once I'm done, I'll probably go have a cigarette and make up some false intel.
