🧙 WHO: Stella and anybody who wants to stop by!
⚔️️ WHAT: Stella's been talking about starting a club/group for musically inclined folks in Avalon and it's time to actually get on that! She's put out a network post about a preliminary meeting to interest check and uhh this is that meeting.
🕒 WHEN: March 11th, around noon-ish
🗺️ WHERE: The Phoenix Roost cafe
⚠️ WARNINGS: None that I'm aware of!


So with uh, everything that's been going on around Avalon lately, Stella hasn't had a lot of time to put thought into her genius plan to get this group going. She's been meaning to get around to it but you know. Priorities and all that. But things seem to be kind of getting back on track and with Violet here and the Valentine's concert having gone so well, she's feeling energized! On the ball! That kind of thing.

Which is why it takes her two weeks to actually set the whole meeting up. She's doing her best, alright?!

She shoots out a quick video post to the network, basically just advertising the whole thing - it's a group for people who like music, whether that's performing it, writing it, or just listening to it. She's not picky. She gives everyone the time, the date and the place and then gives them the most important request: come up with a cool name for their little group because she's clean out.

Come the eleventh, and Stella's parked herself at Phoenix Roost with her phone, some obscenely sweet drink and some sweets from the cafe that she's anxiously munching her way through. Someone's bound to show up to say hi, right?

[ NOTE: Since this is a mingle post, feel free to tag around and hit up everybody's toplevels and just have a good ol' chaotic time! Stella will have a toplevel for talking about music group stuff but otherwise, we're just vibin'. ]

[A group gathering for all things music and song? It's like a large neon sign calling out to Venti and he can't resist the call of music. The flashier the better- But he has learned that there are some styles of music he doesn't quite know yet in this world. And that in itself is exciting to him.

He peeks inside and announces,]

Yahoo~ Is this the gathering for all the musically gifted folk?

[prismatically]

[ Stella immediately gives him an enthusiastic, two-handed wave. ]

Yup, that's us! Come in and grab a seat – I'm so stoked you came!

[concierto]

Oh, thank you! Don't mind if I do!

[He's going to prance right in and take a seat. This place is ... wonderful!]

Was this entirely your idea, miss?

[prismatically]

Yeah, kinda! I talked about it with a couple friends a while back and got the idea then. I just thought, since there's so many of us right now who are super into music, it'd be a good idea to kind of get everybody face to face once or twice, you know? Networking, that kinda thing.

[concierto]

I couldn't agree more! The more who appreciate the finer tastes of music and song, the better!

[Ehe!]

As for me, I've been a travelling bard for years! I know every song, ballad and poem there is from my homeworld in Teyvat. And I can play several instruments.

[prismatically]

[ AUDIBLE RECORD SCRATCH. ]

Wait, hold up. For real? Every single one? How in the heck did you even manage half of them? That's crazy!

[concierto]

Oh! When you've been around for as long as I've been you find the time~!

[Just like two thousand years or more of time. That's a lot of free time to jam.]

[prismatically]

I can't even memorize names in history class most of the time... [ Whiiiiiine. ] You've gotta like, lend me your brain or something! It's made out of crazy powerful stuff!

[concierto]

[Oh, sweetie.]

When you have a heart for music it all comes as easy as breathing. Don't you feel the same? You're worrying too much.

[prismatically]

Man, I guess I gotta get working on my heart, then. You're making it sound so easy!

[ But her smile's more self-deprecating than anything else. ]

Oh, uh! I'm Stella, by the way. I guess I run this thing?

[concierto]

[This sweet girl needs to believe in herself and the tune of music more! Well, Venti will just have to keep an eye on that.]

One song at a time is another on the roster, as they say! [Who says?? Just him, probably.] Nice to meet you, Stella. You can call me Venti!

[He smiles again.]

So, what can we expect of this musically inclined club?

[prismatically]

That's kinda what we're here to figure out, I guess?

[ Her smile is a little sheepish. ]

Uh, this is actually my first time trying to run a club or a group like this so I'm totally flying blind here! I could throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and see what sticks but then I figured, oh duh, it's probably better to ask what everybody wants to do and see where to go from there. Make sense?

[concierto]

Hmm! Total sense. It's a good thing you took the first step to gather everyone together in the first place.

[Venti has played music with other bards before but nothing has ever felt like a club to him before. Most of the time Venti is a solo artist.]

I'd enjoy things like exchanging lyrics or poetry, constructive workshops and most importantly sharing music?

[Who wants some love poetry lessons from Venti! And sign him up for some jam sessions.]

Creating music together seems the most important.

[prismatically]

Ooohh, that all sounds pretty fun! Okay, one sec...

[ She briefly ducks away from the conversation so she can dig around in her bag. She pops back up with a notebook and a sparkly pink pen in hand and gets to taking notes. ]

Lyrics and poetry... workshops... making music together... yeah, that all sounds awesome! Especially like, the workshop thing? Brainstorming stuff together could be a really good way of getting to know people! Like a training camp, kinda?

[concierto]

Exactly! Just like a training camp. I've tried my hand at teaching a few classes in the past so I don't mind lending my expertise when it comes to writing songs or poetry.

[He smiles knowingly.]

Maybe in exchange for a fair and small tuition fee?
