ONE NIGHT ONLY
CHARACTERS: everyone (including new characters!)
LOCATION: ximusic + common room
DATE: night, october 1st
CONTENT: come by for a night of good music, good food, and better drinks
WARNINGS: none for now, will warn as needed
An announcement goes up the day before: Murderface: The Band: The Show. Location and time are printed beneath along with a promise of a "special surprise." Arrive early and you can catch the current members of the band warming up or happy to talk someone's ear off. At the promised time, the lights dim but for those on the stage. Gwen's drumming gets inside one's bones; Wei Wuxian's dizi belongs on a stage with Lizzo; Lan Xichen alternately opens with the deep, tranquility of a guqin or arms himself with a xiao; and Newt…Newt is Newt, tearing the stage on his electric guitar. As a treat, he also provides the vocals to a few songs. There is even space left for the band's honorary member should he choose to join in.
The band plays a mix of covers and original music. Even after their show ends, the music doesn't. Gwen and Newt rigged a music player and the playlist—curated to include something for every taste—plays into the early morning. The music room's instruments are available for anyone who fancies a turn. And for those who do not have or should not be trusted with instruments, clap, stomp, dance, sing along—and enjoy the night.
In the common room, just outside the Ximusic room, courtesy of their ever enterprising (and not-so-artificial) AI comes the promised "surprise": food and drinks, each hailing from an Orber's home world. Even the new Orbers are represented! This might be their favorite treat, a famous dish, a representative drink… What they have in common: each one says "home" to someone.
There is enough to share with friends (or hoard for yourself if this is you.) So eat, drink, and be merry (though maybe not too merry; the alcohol proof of a few bottles can double as fuel.)

I love rock 'n' roll

Pour some sugar on me

He says none of this, instead biting thoughtfully into his cronut, chewing, and swallowing.]
How’d that happen?

〈 “we” is doing a lot of heavy lifting considering the debacle that was the initially failed attempt to retrieve viveca’s android body. 〉
Longer story, you can read the mission on E-23b. It’s the one before last.

[That'll teach him to rely on half-remembered sci-fi plots.]
I'll look it up. [He glances over at her again, a corner of his mouth turning upward.] Seems like she's having fun, at least. Do she and her friend over there come out regularly for this kinda thing?

〈 translation: they show up at all. 〉
That's Commander Degar. Magic man extraordinaire, plays a mean lute.

[He leans over to try and grab another cronut, going right for the strawberry flavor. This guy has something of a preference, it seems.]

Hey. 〈 after smacking his hand away, she wags a finger at him. 〉 Share the love.
