Clsoed before it even started.

[String Chord]

19th of November.
17:00

String approaches the empty park first, carrying all the stuff he needs for the performance, a small stool his guitar, a few spare strings, he puts the stool down in the middle of the park and sits on it taking his cloak off, he wears a brown sleeveless jacket, under it a white buttoned shirt and his black beret on, he stands up and turns around himself trying to see how he looks. This is the first time anypony will see him without his cloak on.

[Hjalti]

Hjalti approaches String from behind, his lyre at his side. He wears his cloak with its ornate pin, along with his tunic. He sighs; "I don't like doing this."

[String Chord]

String smiles warmly and turns around. He gallops up to the earth pony and hugs him "Don't worry Hjalti, you'll soon find that you like doing this, when hundreds of ponies start singing along with us."

String chuckles and let's go of Hjalti "They'll know who you are, and you'll be a hero to them to bring the happiness!"

[Lance]

"That's right!"
Scintillance's voice could be heard, though almost faintly, as he trots up to String and Hjalti from far behind. his voice becomes more audible as he trots closer. "As a musician, you are bound to meld and shape the emotions of your audience for better or for worse; to sympathize them with you. and today, we're doing just that, for better, and for the equestrian morale... what could possibly go wrong?"
Lance catches himself before he goes too far off topic. "...It'll be fun, Hjalti" Scint throws him a reassuring grin, and a hoof to the shoulder.

[String Chord]

String sees Lance and smiles warmly "Hey Lance, have you brought your instrument?" he chuckles and takes a step back from the two.

"Also, how do I look? Is it bard-y enough?" he takes flight, hovering about 2 meters off the ground spinning around himself slowly.

[Hjalti]

Hjalti adjusts his belt and scabbard; "Mhm, you look fine..."

[Lance]

"Strings, you look simply dashing!"
Lance, finally close enough with the group, could e noticed to have buttoned up his green duster, for once. Scintillance pulled out a silver flute from a pocket hidden on the inside of his clothing, visible only after floating out of the neck opening, and enveloped in Lance's bright yellow aura. It then proceeded to fly into his left hoof, and Scintillance started twirling it half attentively. he mentally reminded himself, I can just as easily do this with magic, but magic cannot match the beautiful concept of skillful hoof work...

((prepare for some OOCIC [out of character in character] explanations))

"...so, String, remind me again how this'll work out? We got nine songs for the night, and the audience is free to mingle, right?"

[String Chord]

String nods and smiles.

"Yep, I'll be announcing every song. And, well, the crowd can join in, we will even let some other ponies try out their musical skills."

he then looks at the flute "And, good, you brought it!"

[Lance]

Lance proudly holds up his flute... it's been a while since he let himself play the instrument... Lance then changed his gaze down the lengths of the park, hoping to see anypony arrive.

"We've left a bunch of posters around about today. At this point, I think we can start expecting some ponies to show up. I guess... it'll be chaotic, if they do..."

Scintillance makes his way to the makeshift stage, pulling out a couple music sheets, and setting up his stand. not needing much to set up, really, he trots over to bother String Chord, keeping a single music sheet floating up to String Chord's face as he pulls out his acoustic guitar, and starts stringing it, at the left side of the stage. Hjalti leaves his lyre leaning on a a stool on the right side of the stage, and makes his way to see what song Lance has pulled out.



(( alright, three-way initially set up. from this point forth, y'all can start to come in. there are no rules, or at least, none about posting order; we wait for none, here; It's a concert! LET THERE BE CHAOS! *cough cough* so... yeah... no posting order... no double posts though... and it's OK to "steal the light," it's a concert, we mingle, we talk, we meet 'n greet; if your own stories run past the concert, well, don't let us stop you ^^))

[String Chord]

String, after hours of waiting notices nobody's going to show up, he sighs and salutes Scint, he then leaves the town with Hjalti, depressed, they'll try their luck in Stalliongrad instead.

[Lance]

Scintillance sadly waved to String and Hjalti.

----------------------------------------------------------------

The park was practically empty, save for the brown stallion sitting on the branch of a tree. He eyed over the trees, the grass... but after the war, it was certainly nothing compared to what it once was. -not that Lance would know, he's only arrived nearly a month before. his memories were, however, joggled once more, to his foalhood in Canterlot, and how often he'd find a tree, similar to this one, and relax on a branch. How he'd share it with...

Lance ended his thoughts there, his eyes moved to his flute in hoof. "I'm sorry... Sk...String Chord..." Scintillance hopped down to the ground, and made his way towards the park exit, twirling his flute in his left hoof, making a near-awkward limp in his trot, but it kept his mind distracted from things that were possibly best left... in the back of ones mind.
