~GET YOUR MUSICAL PLOTTINGS HERE~ ...also details for the August plot theme
Hello darlings!
Remember how we've been hinting and nudging and whispering about a musical themed plot for August?
Well, it's August now, so why isn't Taxon full of people dancing in the streets, you ask? WE SHALL TELL YOU NOW.
Running from August 10-24, Taxon will once more (with feeling) be taken over by the dulcet tones of sweeping, bombastic, orchestrated...tunes, ranging from anything and everything you can imagine. Disney meets Duke Ellington meets Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers meets Stranger than Fiction.
How does it work?
Fairly simply, actually: first of all, you don't have to afflict your character(s) with the magic of musicals unless you want to. But, for the purposes of this city-wide plot, you'll have two options of musical madness:
* Full-on, character interactions morphing into actual musical numbers as easy as pie. Your character knows they're singing, knows it's really very weird to suddenly be starting up a song (and why is there ambient music all around accompanying them) - and the more s/he fights it, the more massive the inevitable outcome. What could've been a few lines from a song if s/he'd just gone with it ends up an elaborate piece with background dancers galore.
* If orchestrating song and dance routines isn't your cuppa, you can still partake in the fun by having your character followed around by Strangely Thematic Music Scores that change in accordance to what your character is up to. Merely fitting or truly epic, the choice is yours. Just make sure to insert links so we can all follow along, if you find some piece of already existing music that's just perfect for yournefarious rp purposes.
(* Do both! Do either! But most importantly: HAVE FUN WITH IT)
While the plot is completely opt-out-able, should you choose to submit your character to the in-game woes of being literally in the spotlight, the characters themselves can't opt out of the proceedings. They can try, but as detailed in the first bullet point, resistance is oh-so-futile.
And this post? This is for your planning purposes. GET PLOTTING EVERYONE! :D

I will definitely AT THE LEAST inflict upon Gwen the background music that trails her throughout the day. (HEIST MUSIC WILL BE A MUST)
As for Arya? Jesus. You do NOT wanna hear this girl sing. She screams the words. When I picture her in a musical I picture her as one of the dirty orphan girls in Annie's "It's a Hard Knock Life." Some kind of rebellious solo ballad about wanting to kill a million people back home and how some douche cut off her father's head? Or about the bunch of identities she's had to take on, making it seem like she has none of her own (Who Is Arya Stark?)? IDK I need to brainstorm.
BAH IDK what I'm gonna do. I've never made up song lyrics either and I'm intensely worried that I just...won't be able to.
BUT OH SO EXCITED. I cannot wait to witness this.

To quote Keri: "This is the most free form, no rules event ever." So just have fun, okay?

Could also imagine her doing a punk rage version of Seven Nation Army. I'm gonna fight 'em off / A seven nation army couldn't hold me back!
