OOM: Concert, part 2

[electro_kinetic]

The stage itself is backed by a huge screen, big enough to nearly be an IMAX presentation, and the orchestra is in front, chairs empty. They're fashionably close to the starting time, because Noriko hates being late, and she didn't want to be too early: tucking her free hand in her coat pocket she walks with Hannibal, trying to keep her heels from clicking too loudly on the floor.

The seats printed on both tickets are quite good, being the center of the closest balcony, where the sound will blend and amplify without too much distortion, and a clear view to both the screen and the plalyers, but before they see any of that, there's the lobby to get through.

"Wow," Nori says, looking up at the starburst lights. "This place is pretty huge."

"You can of course take the vegetarian option," Hannibal says. "Or maybe some fish?"

Noriko sighs, rubbing a hand over her face. "Fish, fine, whatever. I just don't want...people."

She feels faintly sick talking about it as if it's actually going to happen. Everything up to this point had been directly theoretical, and now it isn't.

"No people," Hannibal says. "Not even one single person."
