Mertropolis

"Oh, wow..." Col remarks, staring at Floe for a bit before shaking his head and looking at himself. "Wow, with everyone dressed up I feel like I should've brought something!" He chuckles with a hint of embarrassment.

"Nah, you look fine," comments Floe, giving Col a pat on his body. "So, everyone ready to go?"

Col blushes a bit more, chuckling nervously and scratching his head with his hoof before seeming to remember something. "Oh! I did bring something! Not exactly for dressing up here but..." He states, pulling out Golden's costume. "Still a prototype, doesn't last more than 2 hours against heat and it will fall apart after a week, but it's something." He says, almost gleaming.

"My dad? Wh-Oh... You went to the library and met him, huh? Hmm..." Col remarks, a bit surprised.

Golden gives a half vacant glare at Col and Gear. "Just because you brought the costumes it feels like we're gonna need them..." she then shakes her head a bit "Yea I'm ready to rock and stuff!"

"Let's go already!" Coral nods. "I'm ready to go too."

"Yeah," replies Floe as she begins to leave, "I went to pick something up, nothing important. It's funny 'cus my dad works at the same place."

The group more or less decides they're ready to go (or at least Floe stops caring and starts walking). Eventually they arrive at their destination. A spot at the edge of the water where an old warehouse does not stand. That is to say it long ago collapsed. It actually looks somewhat odd since the other nearby buildings are in decent to very good condition. The group is likely a bit confused when Floe stops there, but she doesn't linger long enough for any questions to crop up and walks to one edge and then over some metal sheets (likely what was once parts of the roof or the walls) and then seems to at random pull one off and reveal a stairwell.

Walking down it (and the entrance being closed again by another group that had arrived just after yours) they find themselves in a secondary (or perhaps primary given the larger size) underground warehouse lit up by a variety of different styles and sizes of lamps hanging from chains along the ceiling. At the far side of the stairs is a hastily put together wooden/sheet metal stage. There are also two large somewhat oval shaped (or perhaps horse ear shaped, it's somewhat hard to tell, assuming they're supposed to be any shape in particular) stone things (is it a sculpture? is it a rock? is it a matter of opinion?) near the center, one off to the left side the other to the right. Other than that the group sees that the place is half-filled with people, though aside from catching the glimpse of an instrument here and there it's impossible to tell band from audience.

Near the stage are several people all in matching pink business suits. Occasionally someone or an entire band will come up and talk to one of them.

"Here we are guys," announces Floe to the group, "What do you think? Cool, huh?"

"Hahaha! Now this is a party!" Col said excitedly, looking around.

Coral, curious, investigates the rock-statue-things, while Silly exclaims over the awesomeness that is this gathering and how they got there and basically everything about it.

Perception:

Copper has no idea what they are, but they were certainly crafted into this particular shape intentionally.

Floe looks around at the crowd to try to spot her bandmates...

(Perception Check: 13 (Roll) + 6 (Skill) = 19)

Floe looks around, but just can't seem to find them. Not that she has any trouble spotting giant snakes of various sizes, at least one minitaur, and at least enough unicorns to shake a stick at. (Not that you should do that as that's neither the correct usage of the phrase nor polite.)

"Well, you guys have fun, I'm gonna go look for my band." Floe flies off towards the pink suited people, not directly going to speak to them, but first overhear what others are saying, just to see what to do...

Well the bands are clearly registering their bands (ie putting themselves on the que) and such. The individuals are either doing similar things or asking questions about band related things. Though a few people do just come up and chat with them.

Floe decides to move to one of the free suited people and ask "Hey, has the band 'The Market Crash' registered yet?"

Col, at this point, just shrugs and tries to wade his way through the crowd to be able to see the stage (and hopefully the band playing on it) better.

Floe is told by a zebra in a pink suit who doesn't even check her clipboard but also barely even glances at Floe, "Yeah we don't announce the bands ahead of time for reasons. Anything else?"

---

Currently no band is playing as it's not quite time yet and people are still coming in.

The zebra now looks at Floe and raises an eyebrow, giving Floe a "uh huh, suuuure" kind of look and says, "Right. Well you need all band members present with instruments on location to register. Not my job to gather you people together. Got enough to do." and with that she moves on to the next person.

Floe gives a fake smile as she turns and moves away from the zebra. She enters a more annoyed demeanour once out of view. Since the staff is no help, she decides to search around the place for where her band could be...

Seeing Floe looking around, Coral walks up to her when she can. "Looking for someone?"
