Let’s make this day the best in the world | Valentine's Day Concert

🧙 WHO: Anyone and everyone
⚔️️ WHAT: Valentine's Day Concert
🕒 WHEN: February 14th
🗺️ WHERE: At the theater in Camelot
⚠️ WARNINGS: None that I can think of, will edit if needed.


Backstage

Backstage was a busy place during the whole concert. There were people getting ready, people helping people get ready and even just friends visiting them to wish them good luck (or to break a leg) or just help relieve some of the stage fright. Each artist or group had access to a room of their own if they needed some alone time. All they had to do was put up a sign that the room was in use.

On the stage

The theater stage was decorated with appropriate Valentine's Day decorations - roses, hearts and other simple, but meaningful things. The curtain would come down whenever someone needed time to prepare the stage to look different and there were several talented musicians helping out to bring live music to the stage.

As they say, they stage is for the performers to take as their own, one or several at a time.

In the audience

The audience has seatings for those who desire it, but there is also a space for anyone to stand and dance. There's plenty of space even if there is a section of the audience sectioned off for a... pool? Why was there a pool in the theater? Well, it certainly wasn't for just anyone to casually swim in but instead it was reserved for a special guest making an appearance at the concert.

The Lady of the Lake had been invited by Ren to watch the concert. To be fair, he had also invited King Arthur, Merlin and the Lady Morganna, but only the Lady of the Lake had accepted the invitation (although looking at Merlin's instagram afterwards may prove different, as he was there but just under a disguise).

Snacks and beverages are also being served at the theater lobby. Of course, since it was Valentine's Day, there was plenty of chocolate to go around.


After-party

While the after-party was mostly aimed at performers to celebrate a successful concert, no one was turned away from it. Anyone wanting to visit the party to congratulate on the success or to just chat with the performers was definitely welcome to.

The party was hosted at the theater too, since why not use the space you needed to clean up the next day anyway. Anyone was also welcome to join the clean up process the next day as well, but Ren certainly wouldn't force anyone to help out.

[Haruki walked around to calm his nerves before his performance when he noticed Maribelle's violin. He did his best to grab her attention before he pointed at her violin.]

Sorry, I didn't mean to overheard, but I couldn't resist noticing your violin. You see, my husband plays violin so I've developed an interest to the instrument. I'm sure you'll do a great job. Is this your first concert?

[ Having been lost in her own paranoia, Maribelle is a little startled to be addressed, but quickly swallows it down. One must always make a proper introduction. ]

I have played before others at home... but... I'll admit, a venue of this size and stature is new to me.
baristabassist: (hey there)

[Haruki didn't mean to startle her. He gave his best reassuring smile before he nodded.]

It is a little scary the first time you do it. When I had my first performance I wasn't able to look at the crowd I could only focus on making sure I got the notes right. Now I'm much better at doing more on stage than just standing on the stage. I'm sure you'll be great. I'm looking forward to listening to you. How many songs are you going to play?

Just the one... an old, but popular love ballad from my realm. It was one of the very first songs I'd ever learned to play... so, in a way, I'm trying to bring a bit of my home to Avalon.

I look forward to listening to that. It sounds like it's going to be nice. I liked listening to ballads when I was back home.

[A piece of home...getting ready to perform does remind him of home. There are times that he does miss it even though he likes exploring this new world.]

How's your home like, if you don't mind me asking?

... I hail from the Kingdom of Ylisse, a good and just land where people can trust in their ruler and fear little of the outside borders. I am proud of my people, of my allies, and of our leader.
