She just couldn’t help herself. The dancing, the music, the joyful people, raw emotions, and most importantly- the connections. Some forming new fond memories, others revisiting a bit of nostalgia; all of it was so important. So precious. She felt joyful to experience this, even if all she could do was merely watch while her discomfort grew.
She stood in the very back shadows of the trees in this outdoor venue; for once careful of her actions. Intent on staying hidden as she felt too ill for her ‘human’ disguise. In truth there were far too many people here to be this close. She already felt a little bit off from staying so close to so much going on.
The feeling of connection people can get just from one to a few people was quite a fun watch. Even more so since the performer himself seemed to have quite the passion for this contemporary music. No doubt what drew in this many people in the first place. The music was loud, but the crowd was louder. The mix continued to make her feel unstable. However she continued to ignore the sick feeling- focusing on the crowd. She only came here as a reflection off metal skin had caught her attention.
Right there, settled in the outskirts of the crowd, a tall bard stood with a hat secured on his head. Seemed to be focused on the stage performers song. She wasn’t too far behind him. Another simply blending in with the atmosphere as far as one could tell. The lights of the show reflecting off him; it seemed as though this is his kind of scene. She removed herself from the trees- intent on a light conversation. His thoughts on it all had interested her.
“How’s the performance?” She spoke up beside him on the right, only a little concerned as to how Reverb would react, turning to look him in the eyes. ”Everything is quite lively.”
She listens in closely to whatever he has to say, if anything at all. He seemed to be just enjoying the performance. It was quite the fun scene- even if some get too rowdy. His seemingly more calm words almost drowned out by the most rambunctious. Yet despite the rowdy, the vibe was still quite comfortable.
Instead of responding to whatever Reverb had or hadn’t said, she replies with yet another question. Right after if he said anything at all.
“Would you rather be up there?”
From what she gathered from him, he seemed rather passionate about music. So his potential response must be interesting. Hopefully not too odd a question while another was playing.
“I would like to see what you’d come up with.” She was earnest with her words.
But with that, the performance starts its closing act. The crowd still wild, but tired. It was getting towards midnight. It was time to take her leave before everyone else did. However, there was still one last thing to be said.
“Whenever you do have a performance, I will be there to watch.”

NP- Most likely the only performances you’ll see her watching are a circus act or a small festival’s. You can go with whatever, though. She’ll usually be really hidden. If on the rare occasion she’s out in the wide open allowing herself to be seen- she’s using her ‘human’ disguise to not freak people out. However she’ll likely be distracted.
