TRUE DAMAGE TIME~ [OPEN]

Who: True Damage!Ekko + YOU
Where: Throughout Aldrip but primarily the Entertainment District~
What: True Damage!Ekko is looking for his crew and decides to put on an impromptu show!
Warnings: None thus far!

πŸ€” MISSING PERSONS

[Soon after the glitches started happening, Ekko was one of the Chosen who succumbed to an alternate version of himself, a boastful, charismatic teenager with a fashionable get up that almost seemed to match the futuristic style of Aldrip's technologically advanced metropolis. Unfortunately he was not aware of his surroundings but that didn't stop him from quickly exploring the sprawling city streets searching for a familiar face in the sea of people.

Not exactly subtle in his pursuit to find any of his fellow bandmates as the self proclaimed king of hip-hop raised hands to his mouth yelling out loudly into the bustling roadways.]


Akali, Senna where you baddies at?! QiQi you best not be shoppin' at a time like this we got a show in a couple days and you know Yasuo will be choked if we don't get to practice on time...Again!

[No answer; The star rapper of True Damage trying a different approach as he waltzed up casually to the nearest person and tapped them on the shoulder nonchalantly before clearing his throat flashing them an upbeat smirk.]

What's up! Does the name 'True Damage' sound familiar to you? Surely you heard of us by now we are the illest group of artists smashin' the music scene right now!

πŸ“ƒ FLYERS

[During the days leading up to the performance, Ekko’s alternate self can be found perched up in the entertainment district's main drag handing out flyers to his impromptu show. Clad in a flashy rainbow zip-up, vibrant gold accented sneakers and black hair topped off with purple metallic cufflinks, the rapper happily bounces from one place to the next flagging down citizens as they pass along.]

Yo, hold up a second!

[As the hip-hop sensation quickly closes the gap between you and him, Ekko beams a confident smile motioning a flyer outwards in your direction.]

Do you like bomb hip-hop with lyrics so fresh they could kill? If so, you should check out my show in a couple days! Take a look for yourself!

🎢 THE SHOW

[If you were one of the lucky individuals Ekko had reached out to before the upcoming show tonight you find yourself at the abandoned warehouse in question within the entertainment district where he'd been campaigning in the days prior. Either by word of mouth or from one of his various flyers posted throughout Aldrip as a whole, both locals and Chosen alike had made their way here tonight to see the superstar rapper make a special appearance for the masses.

All the necessary preparations had been made with an impromptu DJ booth set up in the shanty warehouse in question with an impressive speaker system and large projector screen he'd been able to procure thanks in due part to one of the local clubs in the district. He promised to return the favor by having an afterparty at their establishment to make this a lucrative business opportunity for the host. After a worthy introduction from his sponsor, the roar of the crowd erupts, Ekko making way onto the small platform stage erected with a mic in hand, raising a fist high in the sky as the bright white lights shined upon him.]


How's everyone doin' tonight!? It's time to give you a small taste of some True Damage!! Lets get it!!

[On cue the background music with supportive vocals from his missing crew members burst from the rather notable sound system, projector screen buzzing to life as the music video for True Damage's hit song GIANTS began to play. Being the star rapper next to Akali in this venture he was first on the docket hitting his stride, belting out with unparalleled precision without skipping a beat. Quickly followed up by his second verse the genius artist seemed to glitch across the stage in a unique fashion which almost seemed to mirror the music video's effects continuing to sing with natural expertise. As the song finally comes to a close and the video fades away upon the projector, the spotlight on the superstar remains for a brief instant as he raises the mic hand in the air once more before suddenly turning off to leave the warehouse in complete darkness. Glorious applause outpours from the crowd in excitement for a few minutes until the light returns with Ekko onstage, waving out at the people before joining them in open arms surrounded by his adoring fans.

With the show finally coming to a close and the majority having made their way towards the club in question which was hosting the afterparty in hopes of another chance to meet with him, a few stragglers sticked around as he looks towards you now with a wave of his hand in formal greeting before casually strolling over.]


Thanks for comin' to the show! Hope you enjoyed the performance that was such a rush!

πŸŽ‰ AFTERPARTY

[Not long after the show had wrapped up and Ekko finished talking to a few diehard fans who'd stuck around afterwards to converse with him, the boy genius made his way to the club which put up the bill to make all of this possible. It was a dark, seedy nightclub filled with bright flashing lights as the DJ played upbeat house music which suited his tastes, mirroring the hype vibes of True Damage's own foray of music.

Posted up at one of the VIP booths he made it known that any and all would be able to approach him if they so pleased as he sipped away joyously on champagne celebrating the night's successful event. Ushering you over with a wave of his hand the famed rapper smiles warmly, holding up an empty glass suggesting you join him for a drink and enjoy yourself with the special guest of the hour!]

[ Something about that line just makes her want to hit him even more, honestly. Even though she can't, considering he just phased out of her range like that.

Which means that she instead just looks really surprised at him saying that for a moment - until the surprise changes into embarrassment instead. Her cheeks very rapidly start changing hue until they're practically just as red as her hair. ]


Wai--

[ She can't even get a full word out of her mouth for a moment, simply sputtering. ]

Are you flirting with me?!

[ Is that it, Ekko. Is that really what's happening here. ]
entreats: (just never worked for me)

[ This is a nightmare. Absolutely an utter nightmare. Can someone please pinch her awake, because this absolutely cannot be happening in real life.

Except it is. And somehow she'll have to deal with it. All of the dumb flirting instantly triggers the instinct within Ange to just punch him, but she did get a good enough first impression of Ekko the other time that she'd feel kind of guilty about doing that.. But how else is someone supposed to deal with stuff like this, really?

So she stammers, still flustered: ]


A-- A-Absolutely not! [ She's waving her hands in front of his face, like this is the compromise she's making on 'not hitting him' and 'still blocking his face's access to hers just in case.' ] Stop that!

[ Please, Ekko. It'll be so embarrassing and awkward for both of them later. ]

I am not available in any way, shape or form!
entreats: (and it ain't coming down)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-09-02 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm a nun.

[ That's.. not even remotely close to the truth, but Ange doesn't know what else to say here, considering how complicated the idea of love in general is to her. It feels easier to hide behind this one.

Especially since Ekko won't have time to think back on it later when he's hopefully himself again and find it weird. Because Ange will be able to blessedly tell that he was being so much weird. So, so much weirder. ]


I'm married to the Lord. [ Thank god for catholic boarding school teaching her these things. Apparently it was useful for at least one thing in her life - the girl calming down a little bit, only letting out a huff and otherwise saying these things with a pretty straightforward tone. ] So I don't have time for dumb boys who think they can win over any girl with a line or two.
entreats: (solitude still holds you)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-09-09 10:31 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, at least that's one situation she just got out of. Ange had no idea whether or not that would work, but.. apparently it did. She never thought even once in her life that she'd ever be thanking St. Lucia's for anything, but this might just the one moment. ]

It's Ange.

[ It's a good thing that she's gotten used over time to having to introduce herself multiple times to the same people.

This case is rather unique though. ]


You know, like the French word for "angel"? The clues were right in front of you. [ Yeah, sure, Ange. The clues to your total lie. ] Maybe you'll happen to hit your head sometime during the upcoming days, it might help you remember everything.
entreats: (throwing love astray)

[personal profile] entreats 2024-09-16 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ange is huffing so hard.

Like she's personally offended - and indeed, a little flustered - by what he's saying here all over again. ]


Seriously? [ She doesn't sound impressed, but then again, it doesn't seem like that's what Ekko was looking for when it comes from her. The slight redness on her cheeks is much more his reward for his words, apparently. ] Is that what you say to all the girls? I thought big stars weren't allowed to flirt with just anyone they came across.
