This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Jolene waves in the two women and the cutie pie farmhand for a bit of fun. To the women, "Well aren't you two just precious, like a pair o' peaches! Keep that rich boy, Coy, happily distracted tonight. The less he chews off the ears of the rest here —" gesturing to Nia and Blinov especially, " — the better." Waves magnanimously at the spread of drinks and VIP view, "Otherwise ya two have fun! If his head's clearin' up like, holla for me and I'll fix him up more of his favorite sauce. I got a good eye for bourbon, and know when to cut someone off before they misplace their ass — and lunch."

"And now fer you, sweetie pie!" pulls in handsome farmhand. "Ain't you just the thing to sweeten my tea," as Jolene holds her two-fingered bourbon measure in an old fashioned, then offers her cheek, "lay a spoonful of sugar on me, darlin'."

(I vote the DEADHOG slow song to be Voluble Unguents. Very Bolero-esque with undulating, insistent, psy-trance bass line tempo. Fornicatiorrific!)

Voluble Unguents definitely sounds sleaze-tastic! If Massive Attack did porn soundtracks--there you go :D Also, let's do a Persuade roll to see the quality of the young ladies' compliance with your plan!

Blinov is partial to the song Lihtz Ond Pahttee with its watery thrum that can loosen your nails from your fingers. Nia is more into the spritely (if a song about a cybernetic tattoo gone wrong can ever be described as "spritely") Under and Over My Skin

Blinov very gently discourages Nia from leaning on him, pointing at her current beau. Good friends and that's all.

"Enough business...my ears are ringing...If you'll excuse me Coy I'm going to go enjoy the rest of the concert..."

Denny head's off into the Mosh pit forming close to the stage...to "Clear" ... or maybe "Bang" his head a little...

Mr. Kent

Jolene:
You find that the girls are very willing to throw themselves at a rich young man, especially a drunken one, in exchange for their admission to the VIP section. Once they get him in their sights, they team-up and whisk Coy Lewiston away to the back corner of the lounge area.

You find your new dance partner to be a happy and attentive fellow--he pecks your cheek eagerly, and is an enthusiastic dancer. Not much of a talker, but attempting serious conversation's pretty much moot with the raging churn-drop in the background.

(Rolled a 10 in the rolz room >> Jolene's Persuade was super-effective!)

Blinov:
Nia nods--it probably would be a good idea not to take things too far.

Denny:
You wade into the sea of people, finding your way to the pit. A mob of thrashing arms greets you, but you ably push back, and begin whirling in a headbanging frenzy. You are the zen in the center of the mosh pit, the raging calm in the eye of storm.

Someone next to you gets punched in the lip, and a light blood spray hits your shoulder.

(Rolled a 10 for Denny's Athletics! Too bad Blinov didn't need a roll, it probably would've come up 10 also!)

The concert is nearing its end--DeadHog's preparing for his final number. It's a long one off his first album so it's stylistically a little different from his general oeuvre, but it's always been his closer. They say it's supposed to have a personal meaning to the artist, but fans argue about what the song's meaning actually is.

It's called "Transform Diamond Sukiyaki". What's the backstory, as far as you know?

Quote from: Mr. Kent;806753It's called "Transform Diamond Sukiyaki". What's the backstory, as far as you know?

The most popular theory is that the acronym of the song title stands for "Transmitted Disease: Sexual", which is a sarcastic technical way of referring to such afflictions at this time, and that the whole thing is a pretty poetic reference to a futuristic strain of syphilis that slowly drove Hog's human musical mentor insane and made him who he is today.

Blinov doesn't believe this theory. He thinks the song is about finding inspiration in an obscure brand of motorcycle.

Nia mutters something about the Dutch when the song starts, but Blinov doesn't catch it before the volume drowns everything out.

Mr. Kent

As the last song enters its final chorus, a holographic fireworks display lights up the dome far above your heads.

(Just a wee update to let you know I'm still here! More to come soon!)

Jolene wraps up her modest rendition of the genteel, centuries old dance known as "twerking," famously introduced to her people by the legendary Earth princess 'Miley Cyrus'. She's an old fashioned girl at heart and appreciates the classics. Hopefully the farmhand can hang on gracefully hip-to-hip with merely one hand upon her, the other vigorously whirling around the 'lasso'. It is a deceptively hard traditional dance.

DENNY

Exhausted from the intense "Moshing" and unperturbed by the  Firework's display Finale', Denny check's on his partner's ... and heads off the dance floor.... for now

Jolene:
The farmboy is suitably impressed by your traditional dance
(You're getting a few million XP for that)

Denny:
As the finale fireworks go off, one of the concert's security guards approaches you, intercepting you before you can make it back to the others. He looks at your face, then looks down at his compad, referencing some image. He motions you aside, and leans in.

"Sir, DJ S'MOOV requests you backstage..."
