[ THE SOUND BOOTH ] [ T-202 ]
[ ABOUT YOUR BOOTH ]:
"I'LL BE YOUR QUEEN BEE~~ HONEY B LOVEEYYYYYYYYY~~~"
THERE IS MUSIC IN THE AIR. IT IS ASTOUNDINGLY LOUD, AND SURPRISINGLY RESONANT IN THIS OPEN-AIR FAIR. MY LORD, WHO SANCTIONED THIS NOISE?!
It doesn't take much effort to find the source of the cacophony - there, right there! Where the technicolour e-treat is howling his lungs out perched atop his aluminium throne! As you draw nearer to this stand, though, it becomes more and more apparent that it is not, in fact, a proper booth. You've heard of these - fake stalls strategically interspersed throughout the marketplace to hide the speakers and sound reinforcement of the festival; this case, it seems, had once been little more than a glorified planter box.
A PLANTER BOX NO LONGER! Clearly, these intrepid treats have taken over this joint, converting what was once a lonely speaker system hidden in the grass into a stunning new entertainment initiative: IMPROMPTU PUBLIC KARAOKE!
Half-hidden behind both the e-Treat and the stereo, a red and green reindeer treat fiddles with a system control module in between cheering her little friend onwards. Noticing your gaze, she gives you a bright wave, then hops forwards to offer her paw for a handshake. (A pawshake?)
"Hello, hello, hello! Setta, at your service! This is much better, don't you agree?" She says cheerfully, "I figured, we may as well do something with this dead space! So why not karaoke!!"
[ FESTIVAL ACTIVITY ]:
Of all the many things you could probably do with this information, a few options stand out for you:
- TAKE THE STAGE! You can definitely sing better than that melodramatic treat's caterwauling! Grab a microphone and prepare to enter one of the most harrowing music battles you'll ever experience at the Floresctival! (Setta obligingly turns the television on, so you have lyrics to guide your way.)
- GRAB THE AUX CORD! You'll karaoke, but it'll be on your terms, and with a song of your choice! (Setta happily lends you the control module so you can pick your track, and pushes past the little grey treat hiding in the foliage to fetch you a microphone to sing with.)
- GET OUTTA HERE! Isn't this festival property? Who let these treats here! As a respectable visitor of these fairgrounds, it's your duty to help stop these critters from disturbing the public peace! You demand they leave this place well alone! (Setta seems a little disappointed at your decision, but simply shrugs and calls for Bobo - the e-Treat, it appears - to go take a drink break. In a flash, she resumes her treatling form to disappear away the monitors, microphones and karaoke booklets with a snap of her fingers, before picking up her friends and sauntering off. After some more time spent wandering around, though, you bump into another fake stall with the exact same setup, and the crew back to their selfsame shenanigans again...)
- WHAT IS THAT GUY LOOKING FOR?! Forget the singing treats, you're more interested in that scruffy grey treat in the thicket, peering at the world through a pair of oversized binoculars... Who is he looking for? What's he so focused on? Maybe you can try and distract him from his reconnaissance to ask him what's going on, or to stop him from his strange agenda...
- GAH! FUHGEDDABOUDIT! This is well above your pay grade... Leave these treats to their singing... you've got better things to do... When you next check your pockets, though, you discover a hollow piece of candy shaped like the bells on Setta's collar. It hatches open to reveal free tickets to Bobo's next performance, and a one-time discount or free play at another booth of your choice*... Maybe those guys aren't so bad, after all!
