"Why did you have to drag me along on this foolish endeavor?" Tartar grumbled as he finished setting up the equipment for Octavio's performance. "There are much more productive ways to utilize my expertise than as a glorified stage hand.""Because you're the only other person in our squad who actually knows how to set all this stuff up. Alos, this is punishment for setting the living room on fire after messing with the ceiling lights." Octavio irritably replied, as he tested one of the turntables. Tartar could only scoff as he conceded to his General's point. Satisfied that the equipment seemed to be working, Octavio flipped the power switch, causing the lighting around his turntable booth to glow in bright purples and greens while his favorite beat started playing. In a matter of minutes, the music and lightshow drew a small crowd, as Octavio activated his microphone attached to his turntable. " What's up, Lux Harmony? Are you ready to get down to these spicy wasabi beats?!"

"THIS FESTIVAL IS SO GREAT!" A certain white-haired girl couldn't help but cheer as she walked down the busy streets of Ys with her partners Agumon and Gabumon. She had heard much about the Lux Harmony Festival from her Digimon-involved friends so she and her twin partners decided now was as good a time as any to check it out. So far the trio was having a blast, sampling the different foods and playing games and just exploring the unique city in general. Each of them was holding a certain food on a stick as they traveled, as well. "I never knew how pretty Ys actually was!"
"And the food ain't half bad either," Agumon said as he took another bite of his massive turkey leg.
"I liked carving our wishes onto those little boats the most," Gabumon added. "I do hope that they come true someday."
"Ooh! Ooh! We should play some more games, or look for rides or somethin'! Or train at that gym!"
"Why don't we finish our snacks first, Agumon? Then we can look around for some games to play!"
"...yeah, that's a good point."
As the group walked, they would suddenly hear a very intense beat being played from not too far away. From where they were, it seemed like a giant... octopus was on stage as like a DJ of sorts. As a music lover, White Wolf had an idea. "Hey, why don't we go check out this concert, guys? Couldn't hurt to listen to some music as we ate, right?"
"Splendid idea, Rebecca!"
"Might as well."
The human and her twin partners would then proceed to join the crowd that was surrounding the stage. The octopus Digimon on stage did the usual DJ thing of trying to hype up the crowd, which worked very well. White Wolf, Agumon and even Gabumon were cheering along with the others!

Alucard and Poseidon were heading in the direction of a concert that Poseidon learned of yet the holy ring bearing Gomamon was the only one filled with any excitement between the father and son pair. Poseidon trotted just ahead of his Angemon father his eyes alive with wonder while Alucard himself was quiet and subdued his gaze primarily on some junk food in hand but otherwise moving as if he were a zombie.
Poseidon stopped and looked behind him and said "Come on Dad. I thought you liked music. This might be fun." He wasn't going to say anything about it might be what he needed to snap him out of the funk he was eerily still in. Poseidon wasn't expecting an instant recovery but it seemed his father was getting worse and becoming more reclusive making it difficult to get Alucard out in public but at some level the Angemon seemed to be trying even if the effort was faint at best.
Alucard shuffled past a tamer and her Agumon and Gabumon partners without even seeming to notice them as Poseidon guided them towards where an Octopus digimon was on stage. Once near the stage Alucard seemed to look slightly less stressed which was a relief for Poseidon. Maybe this could be fun after all.

No, in fact, I am not. Dylan decided not to voice his real opinion on those 'spicy wasabi beats' out loud, though not just because they weren't quite his style. It also wouldn't have mattered anyway; the air was so saturated with noise that he couldn't hear himself talk anymore anyway. It was pretty apparent even without hearing him say a word, though, that the 17-year-old boy was not an dance music sort of person, partly because it was an image he put a conscious effort into projecting. He did it with very dark sneakers, dark jeans, and the T-shirt of a band whose logo was unreadable to most people. He kept his curly brown hair falling long past his shoulders and even wore his gig bag on his back. Only a thin pair of glasses was a sign that he was a little bit un-edgy.
He felt... out of place. He was surrounded by almost nothing but monsters, and while they were certainly welcome enough the young man couldn't help feeling like he had sat down at the wrong lunch table. But it wasn't his fault! This whole thing was Shoutmon's idea. The little guy had lured Dylan in with the promise that the Lux Harmony festival was all about celebrating the connection between humans and digimon, so of course humans were welcome. Heck, there were even one or two that he could see over the heads of the bees and the little dinosaurs but still dwarfed by the dancing dragons and less-little dinosaurs. "This is crazy..."
Dylan was not cheering or dancing or reveling like those around him. The dance floor made him feel wrong even if it was filled with humans. The boy payed enough attention to the DJ to be polite, but mostly he just tried to observe and not get clipped by some of the more careless partyers with spikes and thick, swinging arms. At some point Dylan turned to say something to his Shoutmon partner, but the little red digimon was no longer where the boy had thought he left him. "Shoutmon? Shoutmon!" Dylan continued to peer around at his surroundings for the rock digimon, but as far as he could tell the little guy had dematerialized.
In reality, Shoutmon was far and away chatting up some Monodramon he had just met by the snack table. That left his Tamer lost and confused and wandering, eyes scanning everything without really engaging with any of it except to stay out of the larger digimon's way. "I think this is that 'I-don't-know-anyone-at-this-party' syndrome I've heard so much about," he grumbled to himself.

The cheering of the crowd definitely brought joy to Octavio. He may not have been fond of this hobby at first, but it was really growing on him. After playing a couple of songs, Octavio turned down the volume of his music and said, "Normally, I don't really do collaborations, but since the Lux Harmony is about bringing people together, I'll make an exception for this show. Now here's how this is gonna go down: we're gonna give an audience member a chance to come up on stage and perform with yours truly. Of course, you don't have to come up if you don't feel like it. I ain't gonna judge ya."
At that point, Octavio discreetly signaled Tartar to start shining a light across the audience, before using his back two tentacles to signal a particular seat's location to the Kokuwamon X. As Octavio did a drum roll with his wasabi sticks, the light came to a stop on a white-haired girl accompanied by an Agumon and Gabumon. "Well, looks like we have ourselves a winner! Whaddaya say, young lady? You wanna come up here and show us what you've got?"
As Octavio continued putting on a show to entertain the crowd, hardly anyone would be able to see Tartar quietly start banging his head against a wall backstage.

While the partying and dancing was going on, Agumon noticed the Angemon that had shifted their way past them. From what Agumon could tell, that Angemon looked absolutely dead inside. It was like you gave the most depressed person in the universe some cotton candy to hold. It wasn't enough to kill the Agumon's happy mood but it did make the little dino wonder how someone could look like that during a rave. It was a party, liven up!!! Not only that, White Wolf noticed someone while she was dancing along to the beat as well, another human who was just wandering around the place. He seemed to be Rebecca's age, a human male with long curly hair who definitely didn't seem to be Japanese. Ah well, what mattered was that he didn't seem to be having that much fun either. Hell, he looked like he should've been at a Metallica concert or something, not something like this. It made White Wolf wonder where his partner was...? Suddenly the music stopped, and the octopus Digimon made an announcement. He was going to give one random guest the chance to come on stage and perform for everyone, just out of the blue like that. Wolf smirked; she felt like this would just end in disaster but it would be interesting to see regardless. A drumroll played as the spotlight hovered around the audience before it stopped... shining right on White Wolf herself. "Eh?!"
The crowd immediately stopped to look at Wolf, as she was now the center of attention. If anyone was able to read her thoughts, they would be represented as mini chibi versions of Rebecca and White Wolf. Chibi Rebecca would be the first to share her thoughts, expressing how everyone was watching her and she was put on the spot and she was gonna mess it all up and just having a mini panic attack. Chibi White Wolf responded by pulling out an oversized hammer and squashing those bad thoughts until they disappeared completely, giving White Wolf a more confident appearance. "Let's do this!"
Agumon and Gabumon cheered for their partner as she made her way up to the stage, handing Octavio a way to play the song that she was planning on singing. By the way she presented herself, she looked like she had performed on stage multiple times before. "HOW'S IT GOING, YS?!" Wolf confidently cheered into the microphone and waited for whatever applause she may get to calm down. "I wasn't expecting to perform tonight, but this lovely DJ invited me to so how can I refuse? This is one of the first songs I've written, so I hope you all like it tonight!"
White Wolf then pointed at Octavio to cue him to start playing the song. The instrumentals would start up, definitely continuing the party vibe that the music beforehand had provided. Then, White Wolf started to sing and dance along to the song... (OOC: The song isn't exactly this one, but it provides the same vibe as the song posted here.)

Poseidon had noticed both the teenage boy and his Shoutmon partner in the crowd but if Alucard noticed he gave little to no indication as he began focusing exclusively on his cotton candy. Apparently the need to eat reared and even a depressed Angemon couldn't ignore it as he slowly ate. Then Poseidon looked around again no longer seeing the Shoutmon. As much as he wanted to search for the Shoutmon, Poseidon felt his father needed him far more so he remained at Alucard's side.
Things got interesting as the spotlight settled on a human teenage girl about around the age of the boy from earlier and it looked as if she was contemplating getting on stage for a moment before heading up there. The Agumon and Gabumon with her began cheering as she said she was going to perform a song she wrote. Hearing this Alucard's attention perked up in a possible indication of curiosity but with his dead look it was hard for even Poseidon to tell.
While Poseidon seemed caught up in the music while bobbing along with the beat, Alucard was less energetic but seemed all ears.

Dylan tensed as soon as the monster DJ promised to bring an audience member on stage. He didn't need Shoutmon beside him to know what the singing digimon would say. Tempting... but something tells me our sound is a little out of place here. Dylan thought that while he heard the lucky winner who actually did get chosen hop up. He was still trying to reunite with Shoutmon at the time and wasn't paying much attention to the show, but that didn't mean he couldn't hear it. Pretty standard J-pop. Makes sense. Oh, well; it's not like we even could have gone on anyway. Shoutmon already explained it to me: pretty much anything electronic from the human world is DOA, and seeing as my watch thinks it's been 11:13 for several hours now he's probably right. I got my guitar, but that's the sad thing about metal. You need the full set, or it sounds like trash.
At some point out of curiosity, Dylan turned back at the stage to look at it without stopping walking. Sweetening the deal was the fact that he caught behind the performer that a drum kit was already there and set up. The young man knew he couldn't speak to its tuning or positioning, but in terms of actual pieces it had so many that Dylan had a feeling that Shoutmon could have had a lot of fun with it. Huh. Well... that's another part of the set, I guess. Wait a minute! Dylan's attention finally snapped to the actual performance and, specifically, the performer. Wait a second. That's a human.
It was in that moment, right at the one where Dylan stopped looking for Shoutmon, that he showed up. "Dude, you'll never believe who I ran into!" "Sup? Name's Musimon." She was female by her voice. "I thought Shoutmon was full of it. You're real, huh?" "Heck yeah! I got my very own human!" While Dylan continued to reel in confusion, he formed the question, "So, you're... old friends?"
"Not exactly."
"Close, though."
"Is she your... girlfriend?"
"Ooh, almost!"
"But still wrong."
"She's my ex."
"His loss."
"Her mistake."
"We're over it."
Dylan blinked after a long round of his eyes darting to make contact with one digimon, then the other, as they spoke practically in rhythm. In this venue everyone had to shout at each other to be heard. "It's... like there are two of them." Even though Shoutmon was obviously happier to be here than Dylan, Musimon was the one who was really digging this performance, refusing to stop dancing even while during her play-argument with Shoutmon.

As White Wolf performed her song, Octavio was definitely getting dancing along to the beat as he operated his sound station. He knew he had chosen the right audience member to come up and sing. After all, even an old octopus like him had heard about the idol known as the White Wolf. She definitely knew what she was doing.
Backstage, Tartar stopped banging his head and gawked at the human girl's performance. For once, the scientist was rendered completely speechless by the beauty of the performance. He took a moment to disconnect his optics and clean them with a cloth before screwing them back in, just to make sure he was actually seeing what he thought he was seeing. The confirmation that he was, in fact, seeing this correctly caused the Kokuwamon X's processor to blue screen, thus freezing the Kokuwamon X in place.
As the song reached its end, Octavio did notice a solemn-looking Angemon in the audience that didn't seem to be enjoying himself very much and made a mental note to check on the guy after the show was over.

The amount of cheering from the audience was real while White Wolf was performing her song. Agumon and Gabumon both cheered her on from the front, with big smiles on their faces. There were even extra Digimon walking by who heard the song and decided to join in with the legions of other humans and Digimon cheering on the idol as she performed. Even the DJ himself was dancing along as he operated the sound station.
Finally, White Wolf finished the last note of her song and looked outward towards the crowd for their reaction. Almost immediately a vast majority of the audience clapped and cheered, some even requesting an encore. White Wolf tried to hide her blushing behind her hands but it was clear how she felt about all this positive feedback. "Thank you all so much for listening today! My name is White Wolf, and I am what can be considered an idol back in the human world so I perform like this on a regular basis. Tonight was my first night performing in front of Digimon, and so sudden too! I just want to thank..." Oh crap, she never got his name! "...thank the DJ here tonight for giving me this wonderful opportunity. I hope one day I can perform a true concert in the Digital World for you all someday!"
And with that, White Wolf would turn control back to Octavio, grabbing her song recording back before turning to exit the stage. It was there that she noticed a Digimon just kind of... staring off into space backstage, a little mechanical bug Digimon. Smiling, White Wolf went backstage to go over and introduce herself to the little guy. "Hi there. Did you like the show?"
Meanwhile Agumon and Gabumon saw their partner go back stage instead of immediately joining back up with them. The two looked at each other in confusion... should they go backstage too, or should they just wait for her to come back? Neither of them knew what she would be doing up there, anyways. It would probably just be best to wait...

As the performance of White Wolf, as the girl called herself, ended most of the crowd had began cheering and even demanding an encore. Alucard's son was one of them the little Gomamon clapping enthusiastically with the rest of the crowd. Alucard, meanwhile, was trying to place where he had seen the girl before and that's when it hit him. He met her back at the one mission where he and she were part of the group planning to break in and rescue another human and his partners.
"Small World." Alucard sadly muttered as he finished his cotton candy causing Poseidon to look up as he barely heard his father's words as the were like a faint ghostly whisper.
"What was that, Dad?" Poseidon asked looking up at his dad hearing remnants of the two words his father whispered which was an amazing feat considering where they were and how soft Alucard had spoken.
Alucard looked down at Poseidon and sighed before he said "It's not that important. I met that girl before you were born."
Seeing as getting more from his dad would be like getting blood from a stone, he lifted his flipper before patting Alucard's leg and said "It's okay you don't have to talk about anything if you don't want to. I'm just glad you opened up to me today at all."

When the song concluded, Musimon just went absolutely wild. She answered with four times the applause most of the room was giving White Wolf despite the fact that the digimon only had two times as many hands as the majority of them. Shoutmon was fairly enthusiastic himself, and Dylan let an encouraging, "Woo!" out because, hey, he knew how he'd want to be treated if it had been him up there. The pang of envy he felt from the experience wasn't enough to override his manners. "OK, Shoutmon. You got me. Lux Harmony is pretty fun." There was a hint of reluctance in that confession, but not because it wasn't truthful. It just involved getting a little out of his comfort zone.
"Yeah! I told you so. Look at this place! We're gonna get you out more, I'm telling you."
"Don't get carried away," Dylan tried to hedge.
"Is he always like this?"
"You learn to love him anyway. Humans, you know? What are you gonna do?"
"How did I become the weird one just here?" Dylan asked while backing up to survey around himself and see a giant blue dragon, a pair of dinosaurs (one posing as a wolf), a couple of robots, and God only knew how many furries - all that just in one glance. "I'm running for the drink stand. You two ex lovebirds want anything?"
"Grab some of that pop."
"Make mine a zero."
The boy did not quit gawking at everyone in the venue while he journeyed there, a word which here implied a long travel fraught with hazards. It was fitting, given the number of times he was almost run over by a tank or impaled on a drill because he wasn't looking where he was going in order to look at everyone else. He knew he was doing it, too. I probably look like a tourist, the boy thought to himself while he precariously balanced three cups in only two arms. Or just a creep. It's just crazy, though. There's barely anyone here giving me a second look. That other girl got a standing ovation. I'm a mundane outsider in a sea of demons and bears and pheonixes.
Thud. Balancing three plastic cups turned out to be a bad idea. Dylan was relieved of the burden when he tripped over some fuzzy white seal digimon and fell on one side. Oh, he took the fall well enough that it barely hurt him and, more importantly, didn't let the gig bag directly impact the ground. The real problem was that three beverages came pouring out. They were unlikely to be a hazard to anyone around, fortunately; the majority of the liquid ended up in safely in the boy's clothes. "...I messed up."

Octavio chuckled when it turned out that the girl didn't actually know his name, so when she started walking backstage after her speech he made sure that he remembered her name for the future. After waiting for a few minutes to let the crowd's cheers die down a bit, Octavio signaled for Tartar to start preparing the lighting for the next segment of the show.
However, the lack of a response from the Kokuwamon X sent up a red flag in the ShogunOctomon's mind. He looked to the side of the stage where Tartar was, only to see that the mechanical Digimon had completely frozen and was unresponsive when White Wolf tried to interact with him.
"I'm afraid we're gonna need to take a quick intermission before we continue with today's show. We seem to be having some technical difficulties backstage." Octavio said before he scuttled off-stage to head over to the frozen Kokuwamon X. As he walked, he saw someone in the crowd trip over something and fall over, but the DJ could only focus on one thing at a time "What's going on, Tartar? You okay over here?"
Octavio placed a tentacle on Tartar's shoulder to try to get his attention, but the small gesture caused the Kokuwamon X to topple over and literally fall to pieces. Octavio could only stare in wide-eyed shock at the sight."Oh crap."

This was weird... even the DJ himself was calling for a small intervention due to some technical difficulties backstage. He started to head in the same direction that White Wolf headed to as well. Just what was going on back there? Was she going to need some form of back-up? Agumon looked towards his brother. "Should we go up there and see what's goin' on up there?"
"Perhaps if it's not resolved in a few minutes-" Gabumon began to say, but that was when the human tripped over a nearby Gomamon. Not only that, but he had dropped all three drinks that he was currently carrying. And a good amount of that dark-colored soda splashed right onto Agumon and Gabumon, staining not only their scales but Gabumon's pelt as well. The two brothers froze momentarily as they tried to process what just happened before Gabumon cried out, "My pelt! My pelt is all wet and dirty and sticky! This is going to take forever to wash out!"
"What the heck's the matter with you, buddy?!" Agumon yelled at the human on the ground, clearly not caring that this was merely a simple accident. "Now my brother and I gotta go back to the hotel before we get all sticky! I already took my shower today!"
"I-It was clearly an accident," Gabumon tried reminding his brother despite the fact that he was pretty visibly peeved off about this situation as well. "We cannot start fights here or we'll be kicked out, remember?"
Meanwhile the DJ came to check on White Wolf and the non-responding robot Digimon backstage. "I don't know what happened, I noticed him staring at me and I thought he wanted to talk... now he is just not responding."
Then it happened. The octopus Digimon tapped on the robot with his tentacle, causing the robot to completely fall to pieces. White Wolf gasped and held her mouth until she just couldn't hold it back, letting out a high pitched scream that the audience would most likely be able to hear. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHH! OH MY GOD, HE'S DEAD!"

The DJ mentioning there would be an intermission due to technical difficulties barely seemed to bother Alucard as such thing sometimes happened. That and he was barely paying attention anyway.
Next thing father and son knew was a human had tripped over Poseidon. Poseidon yelped in surprise and whirled around seeing the teen covered in most of the contents of three cups of soda yet somehow had managed to miss getting him and Alucard wet.
Alucard glanced down where he heard Poseidon's surprised yelp and saw the human for himself. Since his son was fine other than being startled, the Angemon said "A human such as yourself should be more careful." His tone was cold but not hostile.
It seemed what soda wasn't on the teen was on the pelt of a nearby Gabumon and he seemed none to happy about it and neither was the Agumon also nearby. So there were the girl's partners. Alucard wasn't sure the two would recognize him unless they recognized his scent as it had not changed that much since his days as a white Lopmon.
Suddenly a scream of 'OH MY GOD, HE'S DEAD!' caught Alucard's attention causing him to jerk his head up looking in the direction of the stage. "Poseidon, stay here. I'll be right back." Alucard said as if some life had returned to him and he flew off towards the stage and Poseidon stayed where he was told.
Alucard landed behind Rebecca on the stage and asked "What has happened here?"
