Welcome to Gaia! ::

Character Name: Jason Wolf
Location: Entrance Gate
Action: Getting his wristband (energy draining, of course XD )

Jason was jumping a bit with excitement as he was starting to enter the festival but going to the stand where they had to get their wristbands first. He had heard that his brother was volunteering here at one of the first-aid tents though Jason didn’t know which one it would be. But knowing his brother, it would probably be the one farthest away from the stage. Jason didn’t mind the loud noise compared to his brother.

The volunteer took his ticket and gave him the wristband which he then proceeded to put on his wrist and was ushered outside. Though he made sure to move away from the entrance so he wouldn’t be blocking anyone else. He then meandered over to the information booth where he hoped to get a map to where the vendors were. Those seemed like the places to hit first after all, might as well do the shopping now instead of at the last minute.

He had been glad that he worn some shorts and a short-sleeved t-shirt today. He would have been too hot otherwise.

Exiting to Vendor’s Alley

Character Name: Kaydence (Kasey) Birkland
Location: Vendor Alley
Action: Finding Food with Fiona

"Ahh, that sort of finding someone." She smiled. "Guessing at least? Major props to all the EMT's who work these things with how stupid some people act. Forgetting to drink and eat and stuff." She'd seen enough people pass out at festivals for easily preventable things.

"My friends are at least lamenting not being here, some might come after work if they can but no guarantees." She headed down one of the rows of vendors, eying the various signs as they walked.

Character Name: Rebecca Winslett
Location: Entrance Gate
Action: Getting an energy-draining wristband and bumping into Callum! ((While Aura hopes it's not too late to be joining this))

Rebecca couldn't believe she was so late. She'd been looking forward to the festival ever since she'd first heard about it, had recognized it as her first real chance to get out in the city and have fun for a day away from the responsibilities of schoolwork. She'd never had trouble getting where she needed to be when she needed to be there before, but apparently that knack had finally failed her. She'd been finishing up a chapter of the latest novel she'd found, sure she had plenty of time, but then a glance at her phone had sent her reeling and then rushing.

As she bought a ticket and moved over to let her bag be searched, the teen tried to reassure herself that it wasn't a lost cause. Sure, concerts were already under way, but they were still playing, and the schedule for the festival was so packed throughout the entire day that there would still be plenty to enjoy. There was just an added buzz of anxiety as she tried to decide where to go first to make sure she saw as many of her favorite bands as possible, was all.

She offered a distracted smile as she pulled her bag back over a shoulder and traded her ticket for a wristband, then turned to hurry into the crowds. Which stage? Which band? Which- In her hurry, she bumped into someone, then stumbled and nearly fell at the unexpectedness of the collision. Immediately she whirled to apologize, eyes wide.

"I'm so sorry! Are you alright?"

Character Name: Rebecca Winslett
Location: Entrance Gate
Action: talking to Callum


The way he'd whirled on her after stumbling, Rebecca had expected complaints. She'd been bracing herself for it, in fact, ready to apologize again if she needed to or stand her ground if things got out of hand. What she was not prepared for was for the green-haired teen to take one look at her face and then freeze up like he'd seen- Well, she wasn't sure what exactly he thought he'd seen, but as the moment stretched out with several seconds too long of him staring into her eyes, she shifted uneasily. The heat was bearing down on them, she could feel it even though she hadn't been out here long at all, and she couldn't help but wonder if it had gone to this person's head.

And then, suddenly, he was talking. Becca fixed a polite smile back onto her face and tried very hard not to look as confused as she felt while she reached out to shake his hand. She listened to him rush through his introduction, presenting fate and offering a starring role in some kind of a script with pushy cheer. It took her a second, after he trailed off, to realize that had been a question. Her cheeks went a little red.

"Oh! I'm Rebecca, Rebecca Winslett." She hesitated for just another second, considering the last request again. She definitely had been half hoping to meet new people here, and seeing Halsey did sound interesting so having help finding the right stage would be nice. And well, he seemed nice too, just maybe a little...eccentric? If the whole script business got weird she could slip away in the crowd easy enough, right? She relaxed a little with the decision made, let her smile become more genuine. Giving people chances couldn't hurt anything.

"And that sounds great, I'm a fan of Halsey myself." She reached up to brush her hair behind her ear and laughed quietly. "And I'm not quite sure what you mean by script, so you'll have to expand on that a bit. Do you write plays?" She turned to start them walking along, then glanced back at him again in sudden doubt. "Ah, was it this way? The shark one there, right?"

quite uneventful

Callum and Rebecca exit to Shark Stage.

Character Name: Sailor Sparks
Location: Entrance gate
Action: Looking for signs of suspicious activity.

Sparks didn't appear to smile or really acknowledge the I told you so quip from their companion. Instead, they were focused on examining the people who were still filtering to and from the entrance to the festivities. It was a marvel, really, to watch as people were still scrambling in despite several acts having already come and gone.

From the schedule they had tightly gripped in their hands, they could see that the first of the local acts, the Technicolor Rainbow, had done a full set and a few others had come and gone. Right now, they were focused on the main gates, but perhaps they'd travel over towards the Leviathan stage.

"We've got to isolate the cause of the 'heat exhaustion'," said Sparks, literally doing air quotes as they walked. They tugged at the hem of their sweater, trying to ignore the trickling of heat that beaded down their neck. "Keep an eye out for suspicious activity. Renegade Media's been on our list for a while. The CEO is shady. Maybe we can find and isolate him."

Character Name: Sailor Castalia
Location: Entrance Gate > Leviathan Stage
Action: Patrolling with Sparks, moving to Leviathan stage

Castalia rolled her eyes slightly, dimly remembering how no-nonsense her partner was and following beside them, watching several feverish looking people on their way to a stage begin to fall back and move toward where the medical tents were. Castalia's eyebrow arched. Of course, she knew it was all a plot to gain more energy, but among the other hundreds of people, hadn't one even thought to think it was suspicious? There had to be more senshi in there, somewhere. What were they thinking? It was actually a heat wave?! Sailor Castalia pushed a strand of hair away from her face, seeming unimpressed.

As Sparks spoke up, Castalia crossed her arms, releasing a loud exhale. "What idiots." She murmured as one shoe fell straight into the mud, wrinkling her nose and feeling an intense desire to gag right then and there. Ugh, this was the last time she'd agree to a mission like this. Holding in her disgust, the dark skinned female nodded. "That sounds like a good plan-- Question. What if the CEO is actually some sort of... Powerful nega-king? We're only two, and I don't think the rest of our team will arrive that fast. Unless we wait to provoke him. Or something," Her gaze fell on Sparks, their permanent pillar of strength throughout all their battles as they crossed the area-- "What'll happen then?"
