Summary: Failing spells are linked together.
Background
The band performing is from Austria, they're instrument intensive and light on lyrics. They use a few magical musical instruments of their own design (which work perfectly because they're precast spells from outside the danger zone). This is one of the first performances by this band outside of Austria, but they're well enough known that the concert is expected to be relatively well attended.
The concert is free (part of a concert series sponsored by Firebolt and Slug and Jiggers Apothecaries), and it's at Phoenix Forest Park, in the same area as the concerts at the festival.
OOC: How to play
A special effects spell cast by the band is going to go wrong, causing the wands of everyone at the concert to be linked together. The first person to cast a spell (who is an NPC), nothing will happen, but then the next person to cast a spell will get the first person's spell instead of the spell they were trying to cast, and so on.
Figuring out the order of spells should be done in the subthread labeled "Traffic Control" at the top of the comments. If you want to join in and cast a spell, please look at the last post in that thread to see what the result will be (it will be whatever the previous person was trying to do) and then post a reply to that last post before you start writing, to claim that previous spell (since writing takes time, so we don't get two people writing to the same spell). In your claim please also say what spell your character is going to be trying to do, so the next person can claim if they want to.
Oh, and it's perfectly fine to have any number of IC subthreads if you want to do other things (talk to friends, whatever) at the concert or just after, but there should only be one traffic control thread, since all spells in this thread are linked together. Don't worry too much about keeping the IC stuff in any sort of order, just make sure the traffic control thread stays in order. :)
The thread starts toward the end of the concert, so if you'd rather have left early (after the link spell was cast, but before the thread starts), feel free, and if you'd rather still be at the concert, that's good too.
If this doesn't make sense (I hope it makes sense!), please ask questions by replying to the questions subthread (after the traffic control subthread) rather than replying directly to this post, to keep the OOC and IC stuff separate. Thanks! (And have fun!)
