[ oh! Aymeric and Prompto are both here! there's a brief relief, to see familiar faces, but then she looks at the scene before them, just confused and puzzled because what... what is this. this is like... the stage?
but and then Aymeric opens his mouth. ] B-But.. where? [ gently holds her sword closer to her. are they in DANGER? ]
[ the moment he sees the other two, he's immediately walking over to stand close. then he sees the crowd. his heart is racing, his palms feel sweaty, and he's touching the sword at his side for strength. ]
Wha- socks? Why would anyone want my socks?
[ looking at Aymeric and then moving in close to talk low to the other two. ]
We might have to distract them first. They seem...rabid.
[ then he'll form a heart with his hands for the crowd. ]
[The sword at Meteion's side seems to want to reassure her! It doesn't seem like there's danger here, despite the raucous energy of the crowd. Likewise, Prompto's sword just seems mildly amused, but reassuring in its strange way. It, too, doesn't seem to think anything is amiss.
When Prompto makes heart hands, the crowd loses its wholeass mind and one person just straight up passes out. Fortunately they seem to have friends nearby to help them back up again... The audience is waiting, though! What's their plan?]
[ Though Aymeric thinks this bodes ill? However, he keeps calm to support the other two. It's emotionshare though, isn't it?? So I guess they can get the wary vibes from him. To keep distraction, he waves a bit at the crowd. ]
... There was no song or orchestration roll in my room. We may need choose a song.
[ fortunately she's reassured, thanks to her kind sword. but it doesn't help with her puzzlement. like... what buzen, kashuu and yasusada did a few weeks ago? the kind of performances kumon has done? there's some wary reflected back if so, from feeling aymeric's alone. the idea of choosing a song though... damb. ]
I.. I only know of one song, but it is only a small part of it.
[ so it's not even a full-length song but like a minute's worth. help. she'll offer the crowd a wave too. ]
[Aymeric waves, and the crowd goes wild yet again! Fortunately no one seems to pass out this time, and a ripple of verdant runs through the pen lights.
When Meteion waves, the crowd lights up with her shade of yellow! A few people begin to chant ME! TEI! ON! ME! TEI! ON!, which bleeds into a louder and louder chorus before it all breaks down into one long WHOOOOOO!
Prompto can scan all he wants, but he will see no exits. Even the black doors they entered through are no longer there. The crowd seems to approve of the smooches, though! One person out there in the void shrieks PROMPTO, MARRY ME!!
But the longer they stall, the more they'll get a sense of urgency and vague foreboding. What are they doing, wasting away precious minutes? The swords at their side feel that they have a job here. And more than that, they have something important to do after this, remember? As they struggle to think, they'll all begin to recall a song that they might be able to use for this, if they choose... But there are plenty of other fish in the song sea.]
I did watch the movie Space Jam. It was not the epochal story I anticipated. [ Why is it that it is now they are recalling this song? ] If you do not remember the words, feel free to say whatever comes to you. What matters is that we finish this quickly.
[ Still, he isn't feeling great about this. Despite the vibes from him, he offers a charming smile for the crowd. It is well practiced, poised for guests. He gestures with a hand outward, then lifts it up, beckoning the crowd to rise if they haven't. If they have, then they can start jumping. ]
I watched it, but I don't.. think I really understood it--
[ it made like. zero sense to her. i'm gonna say she watched it in passing when she was trying to play games in the game room. but she kinda.. remembers the lyrics? maybe.
Come on and slam, and welcome to the jam Come on and slam, if you wanna jam!
[ Isn't this where they should start dancing? Unfortunately, for me, Aymeric is a good dancer. No, I am not going to describe how they should dance to Space Jam. I can only describe that it's tasteful. Passes baton to zetsu. ]
anyways, no more lyrics, just dancing now! Meteion is.. doing her best, on her bird peets. idk about... tasteful, and why hei used that word but. anyways onto pan now! ]
[ to jump dance, and then he'll grab Meteion's hand to help her dance with her peets. this is actually fun? even with the crowd. he's going to uh huh on cue ]
[y'all really looked at hei and said "then perish" huh
Well. The crowd reacts wildly! Holy shit, do they love Space Jam. The pen lights in the crowd are a blur of yellows and greens, and the crowd will start singing along with them almost immediately! Or, you know. Doing that crowd chanting thing that crowds tend to do with lyrics. The hype vibes are immense in this house. They'll get the feeling that their swords are truly digging this energy too, and they'll feel a little more peppy and into the performance, accordingly.
At some point, someone yells AYMERIC, SHOW US YOUR BOOB!!! Just the one singular boob. Someone also lobs a beautiful bouquet of roses onto the stage! They may hit Prompto as he's busy jivin, but at least whoever threw them was kind enough to trim away the thorns.
Eventually, they'll hear a few people begin to shout: ENCORE! ENCORE! ENCORE! which quickly gets adopted by the rest of the audience, until it's clear that they're demanding more. At around the same time, they'll hear a thunk on the stage behind them. Several large boxes have landed near the back, and a few props have appeared, including several fans in different colors and an enormous matsuri float.]
[ WHY IS HE BEING OBJECTIFIED? He's not going to frown but he's definitely ??? which is a vibe they can all feel. Just utter confusion. The confusion grows when they ask for encore, then the pops and matsuri float come out. This is all so much. ]
I should have finished my reading on Japanese culture...
[ But he takes... The fans. There are enough for all of then to hold one per hand? So he passes them to Meteion and Prompto. ]
[ he'll actually glance at Aymeric wondering if he's going to do it. then he gets hit in the face by the flowers. feeling embarrassed as he holds them. ] Whoa! Hey...thanks?
[ this is so weird. normally girls and lately boys aren't into him? giving the sword another touch. ]
Don't be so amused, dude. [ talking low enough for the sword and those on the stage to hear. putting the flowers off to the side before he returns to grab a fan. ]
We might have to do a dance. Uh... [ trying to remember if he was taught any involving fans. ]
[Aymeric will find that there is indeed enough for them to have two each! He can pass them out, though as he does and they take their respective fans, something strange happens.
At first, it may seem like the stage is shifting, but if they squint through the glare of the spotlight, they'll be able to see that it's actually the audience that's shifting instead. The raucous mob of people clamoring for Prompto's hand in marriage and a rare glimpse at Aymeric's boob (singular) begin to slide to the right, almost as if they're on a conveyor belt getting pulled out of the room, their cries fading out from the stage. From the left side, it seems a new crowd is coming in.
This one is far less energetic than the first, though. There aren't any enormous, hearty applause to be had in this group! Tragic. Rather, they'll see that their mob of adoring, manic fans has been replaced with... a bunch of grannies? Again, it's hard to tell with the glare of the lights, but you get the feeling that they are very stern and will perhaps be hard to please... Even your swords seem a little more intent on not goofing off.
The same, booming voice from before announces:]
East versus West versus North! A battle you've all been waiting to see! Who has the best festival song and dance in this team...? You, lucky audience, are about to find out!
[ Aymeric only began being popular with old people recently, so his reaction to grannies in the crowd (are they grannies) is... Not hopeful. He looks over to them while holding onto his two fans, apologetic and concerned.
Uhm. ]
I know naught of festival song and dance, at least not from this culture.
[ Meteion looks back with that same reflected apologetic and concerned, but also a sense of... lost. What do they do now? The same? This group does not sound as... energetic. And what do they mean battle...?
Gently pats her sword, she is doing her best but also... what. ]
Festival..? [ you know, maybe if she hung out with kumon and chinatsu more- she'd have the experience for this. unfortunately, she does not. are they gonna start booing us ]
[Wouldn't that be funny if the grannies started booing help.
They do not, but their stern energy sure makes a stark difference from their last crowd, huh? The silence is almost oppressive now that they've become used to the shrill cries of screaming fans.
No magical song or dance comes to them this time, but they do get the feeling that there is perhaps something helpful in the large boxes that have landed near the back...?]
[ There is a pause as Aymeric waits for them to just "know," but nothing comes. No songs come to mind for him, none that all of them would know. His eyes shift across the crowd, then to the back...
Oh.
Wait. ]
Appease the elderly forthwith while I look to see what else we're given.
[ Boxes? Aymeric will go look and open one to see what they have. ]
no subject
but and then Aymeric opens his mouth. ] B-But.. where? [ gently holds her sword closer to her. are they in DANGER? ]

Do you know any of the songs from the movie in the game room? Or something the swords have sung?
[ courage do not fail him now. he is going to scan the room for any exits though while blowing kisses to the crowd. ]
If we don't have a song in common then we could always try making it up as we go. Each of us handle a line in the song.

W-We got a real.. jam going down!
no subject
I've watched it so many times now...
[ he already knows all the songs by heart. anyways he'll hold his hand out to the crowd. also because I want Aymeric to sing a certain part...]
Welcome to the Space Jam~
Here's your chance, do your dance. At the Space Jam!
Alright!

Come on and slam, and welcome to the jam
Come on and slam, if you wanna jam!

maybe they should've stuck with the jamming and the slamming. ]
no subject
[ this is revenge for the space jam thing isn't it.
he'll look at the Meteion and give a nod with a smile. okay! they got this!
matching her movement, and giving a spin before he does a bit of the drinking dance Kashuu showed him. ]
