Tamiel paces around their dressing room as the crowd outside roars in excitement. They need to do SOMETHING to make this performance cool, it's the halloween performance after all.

Then... they stop pacing. They have a great idea.

A group consisting of Chris, Spider, Violet, Knight, and Oleander appears with a flash of mint green distortion. They're in what seems to be a dressing room. There's various instruments, a large array of outfits, and some posters and cardboard cutouts of someone with neon minty green hair, pink sunglasses, and various alternative clothing.

There's also other merchandise depicting this person, most of which are signed. The room has a makeup vanity that has various things scattered on it, including an open laptop.

Tamiel is STARING AT THEM.

"What in the- what is this place?" Violet asks.

"Erm... hello?" Chris awkwardly waves at them, his face wrinkling in confusion. Spider just growls at Tamiel.

“Where in the Halloween hell is this?” Knight asks.

Oleander looks like Jesse pinkman outfit-wise but with blood stains. He stares at Tamiel, trying not to panic since he doesn't have a weapon on him. "Where the fuck am I?"

"EY. So uh, HI I'm Tamiel and uh I'm about to perform my Halloween concert and I need some entertainment to make it special??? and I was wondering if you'd be willing / unwilling / I'm forcing you to do it?"

“What type of entertainment?” Knight asks.

"Halloween concert? What is going on?" Violet asks.

Oleander balls their fists and attempts to punch Tamiel in the face! Oleander is teleported back to their original position before their fist makes contact.

"Woah, woah, woah. Slow down." Chris advises.

Spider sighs, muttering sarcastically, "Yeah because this is exactly what I needed"

"Fucking dromen." Oleander sneers

"So like ok. I know what I wanna do I just needed people and WHAM now I've got people!!! Perfect! We should be starting soon, just gotta get things ready," Tamiel says, heading to their laptop.

"Soon?!" Chris looks slightly panic-stricken at the thought.

"Can any of you teleport??" Oleander asks, looking at the others.

Violet looks at her notes on her phone, "Oh I see..." She looks to Oleander, "Nope"

"Yeah, I doubt it'll work though," Spider mutters.

“I know someone but… we’re not on good speaking terms. Also what entertainment could we possibly provide? I mean, I look like a tattered and injured bunny buccaneer.” Knight scratches his head.

"Well can you try?" Oleander asks Spider, taking out his phone to see if he has service. Violet is taking notes on everything she see as she looks around for an exit. There's service. The only exit is a door that leads out to a hall. Spider mutters something as she teleports back to Harmonia's living room and Violet heads out into the hall, but they're both instantly teleported back.

“Gosh darn it,” Violet mutters.

“I think the only thing we can do is wait.” Knight says.

Violet grabs Tamiel's guitar and is immediately overcome with the effects of being on STRONG psychedelic drugs. And it's a bad trip. Like, a bad one. “Ffgffiffuuucccckkkdddjchdk”

“Holy shit are you okay?” Knight asks. Violet sees the hatman as the walls bleed and are covered in eyes. I love benadryl!!!!!!!!!

"I'm just... like... gonna wait. 'cause, like, I don't even know what's going on." Chris says, backing up.

"You're an ascended I assume?" Oleander asks. Tamiel nods, still clackin away at their laptop. "So are you planning on trying to kill us?"

"Ascended?" Chris looks at Oleander.

"Not necessarily, you won't be able to die." Tamiel answers as Spider looks at his screen. On the screen is a map of the concert venue with a place set in the middle and various machines surrounding it.

Oleander blinks. "What." He turns to Chris. "Its a type of Dromen"

"So, like... what?" Chris is wrinkling his eyebrows.

Knight attempts to get the guitar away from Violet. Knight also gets hit with the effects as Tamiel growls, "PLEASE stop touching my equipment."

“ohhshiiitfuuuckinghelllsorry” Knight lets go almost immediately. Violet also drops the guitar. The effects are immediately lifted. “Holy fuck what was that???” Violet collects herself and writes down what just happened.

"So what is the extent of our... erm... entertainment providing services?" Chris asks.

"You might get a few scrapes, nothin' too bad," Tamiel says, getting up. "You guys ready?"

“Ummm sure?” Violet says.

"No," Spider growls again.

"I want you dead." Oleander says simply.

"I guess?" Chris replies.

“Seriously what the fuck is with that guitar?” Knight asks.

"Actually I think either way it'll be more fun if I just didn't warn yo-"

They all vanish...
