Hi everyone. Hope you're all doing okay!

Anyway, I have a request to any musicians reading this. It seems Dorchacht is rather starved for music variety. They got radios, but they really have are lullabies to keep calm people. Which calming people is important, but I think music can do more to help the situation.

So I thought it'd be a great opportunity to have a cultural exchange! In other words, I'd like to expose them to as much different music as possible to make them realize music can do so much more, like provoke all sorts of feelings and thoughts. Music can really inspire, you know?

In other words, if anyone has any songs they'd like to share, that'd be really helpful! I plan to play some of my own music, but it'd help to hear from many different voices. If you're in Dorchacht and you're the live performing type, I can try to help you with instruments and places to play. Otherwise, some friendly locals here are gonna give me radio time, so I can play any recordings you have there.

So come on, lets wake up these folks from the lullabies!

[Elliot is planning to throw a music revolution in other words, using music to make the people inspire and question what's going on in Dorchacht. Feel free to run with this in your own prompts in the log!]

[ the video starts off with a theme of musical fanfare and no particular image to go along with it, but one might recognize the pulleys, lights, instruments and curtains in the background as belonging to the backstage of a theater. but wait, isn't theater banned?

either way, amadeus appears in frame a moment later. ]

Music is the substance of life. What better way to capture the hearts of a restless population than with a proper melody?

—Good evening, Mirrorbound! Try not to look so tense, now! Many of us are departing for the Black City tomorrow — myself among them — but before that, I have an important announcement.

I and a few others are putting together a production! We're recruiting artistic talent of all disciplines. Painters, tailors, actors, singers, conjurers, illusionists, and, of course, musicians. One can never have too many stagehands, either, so if you find yourself with idle, itching fingers, please make your way to [ [ADDRESS]. curiously, this is a throwaway location a ways away from the actual theater where rehearsals will be taking place ] this Friday and we'll put you right to work!

Don't fret about auditions, if you're willing to participate in a risky endeavor like this, we'll be happy to have you. My faithful producer will direct rehearsals in my absence, and the dates will be set shortly after my return in two weeks.

That's all! Don't miss this brilliant opportunity to spread the good word of music. [ musical theater, to be precise. ]

Addio! Remain healthy, my friends. I leave you with this.

[ more musical fanfare resounds, but this time the image focuses on a message of some sort. what could it mean? ]

( ooc: full disclosure, while parliament is distracted with political affairs, amadeus will be taking advantage and putting on an opera. theater is still very illegal by aefenglom's book, so keep that in mind! feel free to contact me here for questions. )
