[ As soon as he gets the location, he’s charging forward from wherever he was. He finds Rei in front of the Live House. Apparently, he was in the middle of...brunch...lunch... afternoon tea??? because his cheeks are full and there are crumbs still on his face. He quickly chews and swallows the contents in his mouth, brushing the debris off his face to stare at awe at establishment.]
Hah! Kiddo, you're gonna choke one of these days if you keep running and eating like that. [THINK OF YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE
Still, Rei opens the door for him. Like most of the buildings in Avalon, it's built around the pre-existing nature; a tree sprouts through one of the corners, branches growing out into the ceiling, and the room is shaped to accommodate the natural land formations around it. It has a light sort of charm, the sun pouring in through the windows and making for a bright atmosphere in the cafe space. A slightly-raised platform in another corner indicates the daytime live music section.
Rei's familiar is preening herself while perched on one of the many bird posts scattered around, and looks up with a chirp as they enter. Hello, boy.]
This is just the first floor. Stage is downstairs. I'd like to get albums to decorate the walls, too... so if you make one, let me know.
[Wow everything looks amazing! Crow likes that even if this is a new establishment, it still has pretty strong ties to Avalon with its nature fusion. The look will definitely cater to curious natives and appeal to the adventurers too.
Crow even admires the many bird posts here too. Onyx would like perching on of them! He gives a little wave to Rei's familiar. Was that bird always that big?!
Crow turns back to Rei as he mentions using different albums to decorate the walls. He has an album cover, but currently, he only has one copy of his precious band's CD.]
I need to figure out how to make more copies, and I'll be happy to give you. Do you have an area where artists can sell their CDs and merch, too?
[I mean you could simply set up a dusty ass table and no one would care too.]
Hmm... a more permanent records shop, huh. I've got a booth downstairs for whatever band's currently playing to use... but I'll rearrange the top floor for that. Good idea.
[Rei reaches out to ruffle Crow's hair, then strides towards the stairs.]
All right. Come on down. This is where you'll be spending most of your time, I'd imagine.
[The atmosphere of the basement floor is much more closed-in than the cafe one; without windows, the only lighting comes from the stage and floor like a proper live house venue. The extra stage lights themselves are currently roaming, their rotating patterns decorating the room with geometry wherever they land.]
Backstage is that way, but if you just wanna climb up there that's fine too. Let me know how it looks.
[ Crow beams as Rei ruffles his hair. He is full of good ideas, isn’t he?
He follows the producer down to the lower floor. Crow is impressed by set up and intimate setting. As an artist, he wants the audience’s eyes only on him. The lighting is great too, he looks the geometric shapes which gives off a more modern element.
The redhead doesn’t have to be told twice, he’s already jumping on stage to get a feel for it. He likes the platform is elevated and feels sturdy. He even pretends to wildly strum a guitar and points towards an invisible crowd. Yes, this is perfect!]
I can definitely convert some crimson souls up here!
[ Even if he had to share a stage there’s more than enough room for other people and musical equipment.]
"Crimson souls," is it. [Cute..... crow's stage persona sure is tightly-knit.]
Well, you look right at home. [Like a frog on a lilypad.] Stay there for just a second, will you?
[Rei disappears backstage. There's silence for some time; it would have been nice for Rei to explain what he was doing before he left, but... whatever.
Eventually the stage lights pause their rotations. It takes a few moments, but the colored light shifts to red; the geometric designs shut off suddenly, then turn back on as scattered feather shapes instead.
Over the intercom comes his voice:]
If it's "crimson souls," maybe something like this?
[ Crow obediently stays on stage, but he's curious about what Rei is up to. It would have been nice if the older man explained, but the vocalist also likes surprises too. It takes a few moments, but he notices there's a change with the stage lights. Instead of geometric shapes, there are now red feathers falling down.
A wide grin spreads on Crow's face. Oh hell yes! This will work for his set perfectly. Crow had trained his familiar to do a similar effect with their magic, but this works amazing too!]
Yes! We did something similar back home! This is perfect! What else can you do with those lights? Can you make the shadows of a dancing flame? Or maybe a strobe effect that's similar to a beating heart?
[Can Rei even hear him from wherever he is? Doesn't matter! Crow is brimming with ideas!]
no subject
Nope, I ain't busy! What's going on?
no subject
Just about ready now. Come give it a look.
[There's a brief pause, and then Rei sends a link to the address.
YOU'RE INVITED!!!!!!! Rei will be smoking outside, should Crow come tearing down right away.]
