Mission 002
Characters: The astounding Dazzler! OTA, come on out!
Setting: Zilker Park, Austin, Texas
Content: I'll update if people get naughty.
Summary: Mission 002 is entirely freeform. Have fun!
The slope overlooking the Zilker Hillside Theater was packed with hundreds of people fighting for space to cover every inch of grass with blankets or lawnchairs. Closer to the stage there was already a pit crammed with sweaty teenagers in their pre-concert frenzy, howling out the cacophonous melodies and disjointed lyrics of popular Dazzler songs. Hot muggy air and ominously overcast skies did nothing to deter these spectators. This was Texas weather- the natives expected it and visitors could get used to it or get the hell out. The turnout was spectacular given the venue and the crowd was the sort that could send the Friends of Humanity into a conniption fit. Mutants of every imaginable shape and size and kind shared the space with humans. They came from places all over the country, united in their love of this renowned mutant pop icon.
Of course there were protesters, a large group of FOH flunkies carrying signs and shouting out mindless slogans behind a saw horse perimeter barricade set up by police. If there had been a smaller audience, the Friends of Humanity would have far outnumbered the concert-goers but word had spread and Dazzler's fans were triumphant in their battle against ignorance. They were soon to be rewarded for it as Dazzler's band began to set up on stage. A lone voice picked up the chant, slowly- Dazzler, Dazzler, Dazzler- and soon a few hundred voices joined in to cheer on their musical idol. Over the next several minutes the chanting grew louder, accompanied now by clapping hands and stomping feet. As the lights went down on the stage a sudden hush fell over the crowd and then, as Dazzler entered, they erupted into elated roars. Dazzler grinned, enveloping herself in a thousand flashes of bright light, fueled by the clamor of her fans. "HELLO AUSTIN TEXAS!" she shouted into her microphone, "ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?!"
