"Well it doesn't make sense!" Floe snaps back. "The only reason why they did it is cause they're assholes!"

Around this point World Rocker and the Market Crash have finished their first song. Before the second starts, World Rocker calls out, "So, what do you think? Do I.... Rock. Your. World!?" to which the crowd screams affirmatively back. ((Perception checks for extra info.))

Then they go into their next song which has a more aggressive tone and lyrics. Some stuff about freedom and you notice an anti-police theme. Sooner or later you also notice that the ground underneath your feet is shaking and so are the chains on the ceiling. Then World Rocker turns to his bandmates and you can hear him ask, "So shall we start the show?" to which they nod affirmatively, if somewhat hesitantly.

The next moments are nearly pure chaos, which the band plays through amazingly. There is a loud grating noise as well as the sound of cracking from all around as the floor begins to rise. The crowd, at least the portions of it not completely absorbed by the music, panics and only does so increasingly as the ceiling falls to pieces, large chunks slamming down with people barely diving out of the way in time. And to top that off of course the chains and oil lamps crash to the floor as well, makes fires all over the place. Meanwhile the floor has now raised almost up to the surface.

"Oh now what?"

When Floe drags herself out of slump, she realises what was actually happening. It doesn't take long for Floe to go wide-eyed. Oh what?!" She braces herself for anything coming her way, running a stressed claw through her mane and accidentally ruining the mohawk manestyle a bit, and keeping close to her friends. She takes a few moments to regain composure, although making sure to look up periodically to make sure nothing would fall or trip on her...

After recuperating, Floe was both startled and understanding as she flew upwards to get out of the panicking crowd. On one claw, World Rocker was somehow causing the ground to rise, and that would have made absolutely no sense if it wasn't for the fact that superpowers were a not only a thing, but a thing so close to her own life now. On the other claw, it makes sense on why her band replaced her now. This would have been pretty cool if it weren't for the whole panicking audience and fires starting...

That doesn't make them any less of assholes though...

Floe guessed that his music was causing this, and turned her attention to the statues to see if she knew how they worked (assuming they worked through magic). Perhaps she had seen them before...

"OH SHIT!" Col exclaims, activating his armor once the chaos starts happening. "WHAT THE FUCK'S GOING ON?!" Col yells, almost panicking himself as he instinctively tries to shield himself from the rubble and stand firm in the panicking crowd, before a thought occurs to him. "Wait... The ground and the air, it was shaking earlier... And the vibrations..." He remarks to himself, looking over to the statues. "Amplification... Magical guitar.... Shit, he planned this!" He shouts, starting to fly towards the statues. "THE STATUES! GO FOR THE STATUES!"

"GAH! OK Coral, you can-" Somebody brushes her, and Coral shrieks, her mind reflexively going out to the world via telekinesis - holding up the ceiling, at least what she can manage in her area. (1000 lb use)

"I TOLD YOU ALL THIS WOULD HAPPEN!."  Golden stamps her hoof on the ground focusing on knocking up all of the fires in the warehouse into the air and keeping them there. "Just need a bit of quick cover..."  She then breaths out a puff of flame which she immediately strikes causing it to blossom into a quick fading cloud of smoke hopefully giving enough cover for her to put on her costume...

actions:

Golden notices, with a small bit of annoyance in the back of her mind, that a large amount of the people who cheered for World Rocker earlier and are still standing around just watching the show are female.

Floe deduces the only thing magical about the statues is that they transmit sound. Even the fact that the two in the midst of the crowd are now floating doesn't register as magic. If there's anything else going on there, she can't detect it with her magical senses.

From the air Floe & Col can see all the ceiling rubble and the other debris that was on top of this place that was within a good area of where they were suddenly freeze in place in the air while it continues to crash down everywhere else, except in the area around the stage. As the flames leap up into the air and hang there the crowd's cheering (at least those of them that were) grows more intense and the level of panic drops a little bit. Still there seem to be several injured people here and there who didn't manage to dodge all the debris and rubble, though less than they originally would have thought. At this point the floor has reached the surface and the grating dies down a few seconds later. At first this is puzzling until they realize that the entire floor is now floating above the surface a few feet.

Well, Col might not have picked up on all of that as he's busy crashing into a statue. ((It forgoes taking an attack of opportunity. =P   ))

Of course Golden, Coral, and Gear don't see any of this because they're in a cloud of smoke.

Col stops, thankful that he wasn't going full speed. He then immediately covers his ears, trying to keep the ear-piercingly loud noise out of his head, already developing a headache. He reluctantly moves a hoof away from one of his ears, getting ready to smash the statue before deciding it might not be a good idea to smash something magical he doesn't know much about. Well... At least I'm not being assaulted by rubble while doing this... He thinks, pressing his hoof against the statue.

Meta:

Taking advantage of the smoke, Coral quickly changes into her costume. "What is- wait, Silly! WHERE IS SILLY SNAPS!?!"

(For anyone that doesn't know, I'm playing as Gear Craft for a bit.) "OH BOY, THAT'S DEFINITELY A GOOD THING." Gear Craft says sarcastically in response to the panic, freezing up for a few minutes, before getting cloaked in smoke, hearing crashes and Col. Aim for the statues? Is he insane? We can't take on someone who can literally bring the house down on you! ...You know what? Screw common sense, we're heroes dammit. Gear thinks to himself, before quickly trying to put on the costume, going intangible, and charging out, creating a holographic crazed fan charging onto the stage when he sees the crowd, and trying to put as much rubble as possible in-between him and World Rocker, trying to stay out of sight.

Rolls and stuff!:

Floe looks between her former band and the smoke, and decides to disguise first. She flies down to the smoke and summons her shadow disguise...

The moment Golden finishes putting on her costume she flies up and out of the smoke cloud taking a closer look at the Market Crash and any of the pink suited unicorns.

Roll:

Golden sees all the stuff Floe did before, except for Floe (who is now back in the smoke cloud just before it's dissipating). She spots the pink suited people here and there, mostly around the stage, either completely focused on the band or looking trying to help people but clearly not sure what to really be doing.

She then spots a fan rush up on the stage only for Arcamedis to try to toss them off, only for his tail to just swish right through them. The rest of the band notices this, but pretty much ignores it, focused on what they're doing.

And then she notices that the people who aren't completely focused on the band are now looking at Col and herself in alarm and surprise.

Gear Craft tries to keep the illusion up making it go through the tail and continue charging at World like a crazed fan. Gear Craft stopping for a few seconds and peeking out of (Literally) cover for this next part. After seeing the illusion get ignored, he backed out of the rock and went around it, charging towards the stage. Welp, at least this has a pretty good chance of working!

Coral - or Psionica, now that she was in her costume - ducks down and starts working on another spider, but this one for finding Silly rather than a snake. Why had she thought bringing Silly was a good idea?

Now disguised, Floe prepares to teleport on-stage. Funny how things work out...

(Shadow Walk)

Golden prepares to charge at the stage but stops herself, instead points at World Rocker shouting. "HAY YOU YOU'VE GOTTA STOP! PEOPLE ARE GETTING HURT!"

roll:

Col grimaces. Well... At least there's only a small chance of this exploding... He remarks to himself, before turning around and bucking the statue with all his might.

Roll:

The band continues to look mildly annoyed at the illusion, but otherwise ignores it. Coral's spider-bot wanders off into the crowd. Nobody seems to have noticed Floe yet, but there's a good deal of people now freaking out about the fire deer and the guy running through them.

The band either doesn't hear Golden or completely ignores her.

Col strikes out at the statue....only for it to suddenly jerk up in the air at the last second and causing Col to go into an uncontrolled aerial spin. Other people who aren't Col might notice World Rocker glaring at Col. Then the pink suited unicorn yells something at Col, but none of you are close enough to hear it.

((Acrobatics to avoid crashing Col.))

"Gah! Damn it!" Col exclaims, trying to stop himself from losing control, or at least crash towards the stage if he's crashing anywhere.

Roll:

Col still crashes, but at least avoids landing on anyone. (Barely.)

Coral looks up, and lets out a small "Meep". Barely able to concentrate on what she's doing in the chaos, Coral mentally releases what is stable, then slowly brings to the ground what rubble she has, ready to catch more rubble if need be.

"Right then you had your chance..." Golden mainly says to herself. She then punches the air directing the fires still hanging in the air to fly toward the statue on the stage and World Rocker's guitar.

Roll:

Col got up, grunting a bit from the impact, and looked around to figure out where he crashed. At least I didn't hit anyone... Well, doesn't seem like too good of an idea to go after those statues and risk crashing again... Which leaves one option. He sighed a bit, thinking to himself, before taking back to the air and covering his ears, flying towards the stage.
