Hello, intrepid adventurer!

I am excited to have you along for a group excursion to the mysterious new island! In two days' time, let us gather in the town square and set off from there! Please be prepared to stay the night. It will be so fulfilling and memorable for everyone to spend a night on an adventure together!

If you have any questions or concerns, please come find me at my flower shop in town or at the forest farm where I live!

Sincerely,
Oriphi

[ If she accidentally delivered it to a few wrong mailboxes, then... Oops!

On the promised day, once everyone (and likely a few surprise tag-alongs) has gathered or been gathered, Ori distributes little paper bags of snacks to everyone. Inside are cookies, oat snacks, and a freshly-picked apple from her and M-21's orchard. Do with them as you please... Just don't let her catch you throwing it into the sea or something. 🥺 ]

Alright. I think we should head out, then! Thanks for coming along, everyone! I hope it'll be a great time. Oh, and please don't forget to drink plenty of water and use this incredible ointment I discovered on this island! It's called "sunscreen!" Tieflings don't really get sunburnt, but you should use it!

[ And with that our intrepid adventurers set off to the mysterious, dangerous, unknowable... resort island! ]

( This is the ill-fated mass extinction memshare event. Please refer to the event for details on the resort and the plotting post for any specific details for characters' memshares! There are toplevels for each area of the resort (and for the memshare). Enjoy! )

[ Oh... They really gave her no choice but to stan!!

This is, of course, entirely different from any performance she's ever seen. Not even the strongest illusory magic or moving lyrics can compare to the sheer energy of this performance, from the way the music sounds, to all the technology and bright lights, and most of all to how it utterly electrifies the crowd.

Naturally, she can't help but get swept up in it, too, similarly watching entranced. While she doesn't know the lyrics and can't sing along, she does end up tearing up a bit, too. Her focus is on Gaku the whole time.

She's so proud of him. He's so much more incredible than she already thought him to be. After all is said and done and one of the singers starts to tear up, too, she only cries all the more. She doesn't even know who he is, but it's easy to dial into the feelings he's trying to convey. ]

I'm glad you got to sing your song, too...

[ She knows no one can hear her, but she mutters it quietly to herself nonetheless. ]

[ crying at how sweet and perfect ori is

The atmosphere, along with members of the audience telling him not to cry only makes the shortest one—Tenn—cry harder, so Gaku is quick to step between Tenn and the crowd with a towel, silently instructing him to put it over his face to cover it up. He turns back to the audience, a small smile on his face. ]

Sorry everyone, but can I ask you not to upload pictures of his face right now?

[ A few members of the audience shout out their agreement, and Gaku nods in thanks. He looks deeply appreciative, and a touch relieved too. ]

We'll see all of you again soon! Wait for us!

[ He waves as the tallest member, Ryu, gives his own thanks and wishes everyone well. As they wrap up, Gaku ushers both Tenn and Ryu offstage, careful to keep Tenn's face covered and away from any potential pictures.

It takes them a bit of time to get into the car, so if Ori wants to catch Gaku again, she's more than welcome to. If not, they'll get into the car and wait as their manager takes down the setup, and the memory will end. ]

[ Ori's heart really aches for Tenn when he keeps crying, but soon enough Gaku is stepping in. She can't help but look around to see if the audience will actually honor his request, and finds herself relieved that they do. He really cares for his friends in the group, doesn't he?

Ori will watch how the crowd disperses after the show ends, taking in the lingering atmosphere of the performance, listening to how much fans enjoyed themselves. It feels like a special thing to be a part of.

As such, she doesn't quite make it to catch Gaku. But it's alright - she can tell him how proud he is of her in person, when they're awake again. ]
