TRIGGER WARNING
Yes, I will keep doing these(also, I didn’t know about the B&B drama until now, okay?). Anyway, now we’re doing Starlight Mayhem, a mod created by TheMaskedChris. Starlight Mayhem is my favorite not-cancelled-for-controversial-reasons mod, because of the amazing characters. What’s not to love? You can also enable Old Vocals(funny). You know the drill. Let’s go.
This time, it’s going to be my opinion on what happened. So prepare yourself.
Boyfriend takes Girlfriend out on a date. They go to see a band called Starlight Mayhem. Then it all escalated from there.
Boyfriend turns and smiles at Girlfriend. “Are you enjoying yourself, GF?” GF grins. “You bet!” she says with a smile. “These guys are really good! Too bad this is the last song. I was enjoying this…” On cue, the final song ends, and everyone starts clapping. The man on guitar smiles, the man on the drum raises his drumstick in the air and smiles, and the girl on the keyboard waves and grins on the crowd.
“Thank you, everyone!” The lead singer yells. “It’s awesome to have every single one of you he-” The lead singer pauses, and squints at Boyfriend. “Wait a sec.” he mutters. “Is that-” His eyes widen in surprise, and he grins. He points at BF and says, “You there! Yes, you! Short blue-haired man in the white tee! Get up here!” Boyfriend looks shocked. “Me?!” He says, surprised. GF looks at him with a confused look. “Does he know you? Should we go up?” Boyfriend grins. “Sure!” he says. GF smiles. “I knew you’d say that. C’mon, let’s go!” BF and GF walks onto the stage, and the lead singer puts a hand behind his head. “Sorry for bringing you up onto the stage all of a sudden, but there’s something I need to know…” He pauses, and looks BF over carefully. Blue hair, he thinks. White tee. Red cap. It has to be him! “Sooo…” he says, quietly, “You’re Boyfriend, huh?” Boyfriend nods. “Yep!” Boyfriend says cheerfully. The curious look disappears from the singers face, and is replaced immediately replace by an excited look. “Hah!” he say, joyfully. “I never knew I’d be running into you here, out of all places! Especially from what I’ve heard about you…” His eyes widen, and he grins, his unusually sharp teeth gleaming. “You’re the one who managed to beat Daddy Dearest and Mommy Mearest at their own game, right?” His eyes glimmer. “You even managed to defeat that one and upcoming robot dude!” He says, excitedly. GF smiles and nods. “Yep, he was!” the singer grins. “Sick!” GF looks confused. “You know us?” She asks, cocking her head to the left. The singer laughs. “Of course I do, silly! The music scene has been going NUTS about you both! The name’s CJ.” CJ smiles, and points at the guitarist, drummer, and keyboarder. “These are Abel, Max, and Olley!” They all smile at BF and GF, and Abel waves. CJ looks at them both, and says, “Look, sorry to interrupt your date, little dude, buuut…” He crouches and looks BF in the eye. “Whaddya say? Up for a friendly match? Just the two of us?” He looks at the ground and mutters, “Since we aren’t really that famous yet, battling you might up our social status…”GF looks at CJ and rests her chin on her fist. “I don’t know…” She says, quietly. “Don’t you have a schedule planned for your sh-” BF interrupts GF, holding up his mic. “Sure!” he chirps, cheerfully. CJ smiles. “Sick. Jut warning you, I’m not going easy on you!” GF mutters quietly, just out of earshot, “He didn’t answer my question…”
Then CJ sings Inverted Ascension, and you beat him(or you don’t).
CJ grins and says, “Haha, not bad, bud! You somehow managed to outperform me! That blue hair of yours really has something going for it!” GF smiles, “Not bad, that was funky indeed!” BF grins. “Aw, thanks!” CJ suddenly frowns and turns toward the back of the stage. “But if I were to be totally honest with you… I was never really…the best vocalist…of the group…” His voice died down as he kept talking. BF looked confused. “Huh? What do you mean-“he asked, but then a girl came running through, and stopped, breathing heavily, a few inches from CJ. Her hair was covering the left half of her face. Her pink eyes showed a panicked expression. She bowed apologetically toward CJ. “Ah! I’m so sorry I’m late! Please don’t be mad at me! I got caught in traffic, and, and…” She took a few shaky breaths, her hands on her knees. CJ stopped for a second, with a concerned expression on his face. Then he knelt down and put a hand on her shoulder. The girl stopped, and looked CJ in the eyes, trembling. “Hey.” CJ said, in a slightly comforting tone. “Don’t worry! You came here right on time!” GF made the girl jump with a loud, “Huh?! Who is she?” BF looked at GF and said, “GF, be nice.” Ruby’s eyes widened, and she put her hands up in front of her. “I-I’m sorry!” she said, panicked. “I just-” CJ put his hand on her shoulder and gave her a comforting look. Then he grinned at BF and GF. “It seems like you two haven’t met her yet. This is Ruby, a good old friend of mine!” His eyes gleamed, and so did his teeth, but GF shrunk down on her stereo, as if she had been bitten by him. “She’s kinda timid, sure, but don’t let that make you underestimate her! She’s killer at vocals, that’s for sure!” He looks at Ruby and grins. “Say, you wanna go at them, Ruby?” Ruby looks at CJ. “W-What now? A-Are you asking me to…c-challenge them?” BF looks at her. GF puts her chin in her hand. “She doesn’t seem so sure of herself…” At this, Ruby gives CJ a determined look. “D-Don’t worry. I can do it. I-I need to prove myself to them, and I won’t fail that now…! To show them that I can be strong…” CJ grins. Well, if you say so, Ruby! I knew I could count on you, don’t even sweat it! Go on and break a leg out there! But not literally, that would be bad.” BF grinned. “Alright!” GF looks at the ground and mutters, “So this is the stage fright my parents were talking about…”
GOD, WHY DID I DO THIS TO MYSELF?! THIS IS TAKING FAR TOO LONG!
Ahem… sorry. Anyway, Ruby sings Echoes, and then you do a duet with GF. CJ and Ruby sings together while you sing with GF. You sing the song Artificial Lust, and then CJ and Ruby take you out to dinner. The end!
Anyway, now I’m going to give you two facts!
TRIGGER WARNING: Themes of abuse.
-CJ’s full name is Carl Johnson.
-Ruby was heavily abused as a child, to a point where her parents removed her eye in a fit of rage(which is why hair covers one side of her face). One of her most frequent ‘punishments’ was being cut with a knife, leaving many scars around her body. When she was 16, she couldn’t take it anymore, and ran away in a car she bought herself, until she finally found a boyfriend, Mark. His parents accepted her, they moved in with CJ and the gang(consisting of Vade, CJ’s girlfriend and a soon-to-be-added character), and there. It’s still hard for Ruby to move on, even after all these years.
