01/03/2024  Charming Chronicles; Dark Ever After Part 1 Every hero, in all stories always has a villain, a arch rival, a nemesis. Something that stands in their way. For Char, there was no exception. Though what do you do, when this villain is just a vital part to you as anything else? The story of Charmings return has created more questions than answers. Each city he plays, is like a walk through time. A new memory haunts him. And suddenly since his last show. The mysterious hooded figure messing with him. Letting his and Ella's song play. It only added more confusion upon. Char grew annoyed. While every part of him was tired of this game. He wasnt going to play the list anymore. He was done. Though as he stared at the list once again. The next location stirred up even more memories for him. Memories of his past, his origins here. How he became what he became. Of course he didnt do it all alone. The date and venue, the legendary Coachella. He will never forget it.  Char didnt just start out right off the bat a instant sensation. In fact it was quite opposite. As known now, when Char and many fables such as himself were cast from their stories into reality. They had establish to themselves. For Char, he was out on the streets, with out a penny to his name. But his soul, it was full of music. For he longed for it. While his father, the King ceased Char's musical lessons and replaced them with fencing lessons. The King wanted Char to be ready to become a King, not take such a foolish route as a then looked upon lazy musician. But all that changed of course when he set foot into reality. Music was everything in the real world. Artists were worshipped like Kings and Queens. He started as just a singer, playing the piano in small clubs for small change here and there. Taking bar tending jobs all around the night life of Las Vegas to make money.  Char's social abilities and well, his actual Charm. Got him connected with people easily. Soon he had established himself enough to DJ small clubs and make money from it. All while learning music production. He quickly taken a love for Dance music. Nothing brought it out more than feeling the crowd in the palm of your hand and be able to change the moods on a fly with a hot record. He of course someday hoped that it would be his music they would do it too. Char grinded night in and night out, sending his tracks to multiple radio and DJs around the world. Some songs would get picked up here and there but nothing seem to catch. Course he knew what he needed, Char lacked the experience of playing on a huge stage or for big name festival.  Now a days, you could play and make flawless records but it was also about notoriety. Marketing yourself, something he just wasnt the best at. Char lived a private life for the most part because of his royal family background. While he himself was a social butterfly in small circles. When it came to mass global attention. He just wasnt there. Then it happened. Char had befriended a smaller DJ like himself who got a big break to play on one of the lesser stages for Coachella that year. But he got sick. While they were gonna just drop him completely. The DJ dropped Chars name as a replacement and they went with it.  Char saw this as his huge opportunity, many massive hit artists from all round the world would be there. The chance to meet one would be high, and be able to present himself. It could finally get him the last step he needed to make it big. He spend all his money to get there, and crafted a perfect setlist he spent hours upon hours on to perform. And he was off.  -Coachella was the mecca of music, all genres, A list cast of performances by some the very best all the way down to up and comers just trying to make a name. When Char arrived, he was blown away. It was unlike anything he had ever seen. But his star struck turned to panic only a couple hours later. Char's flashdrive that contained his set let was gone. The files, all of it was missing, the perfect mashups and remixes and hot ques all vanished. All he had on his drive was a folder of his own music. All of his own music. Most of which was unreleased stuff he was too afraid to release. He had intended to use this to give to someone her at the show, he had not intentions of actually using this for his own performance.  He rushed around the festival in a haze. As his own performance was happening so very soon. The minutes on the clock were dropping fast. And the venue of Coachella was so massive that even trying to dare find some big name artist would be next to impossible. Even when he got here, the crew was already interested in him. Everyone on the stage production knew he was a last minute guy. As he was the opening act for the Stage. He was playing at the heineken house. Which was near the entrance to the festival. A small stage that generally was just a filler place. Most people just passed by and went on to where they really wanted to see. But never the less, Char took a deep breath and something in his heart felt so strange. He could feel this presence, weighing on him. The sheer pressure of it all unlocked Chars enchanted aura that day. But it gathered attention. It gathered her attention Coachella- Heineken Stage Day One 2017 They raced through the entrance like people possessed. At first many thought it was just people hyped up running to get the big stages as close as they can first. But then a wall, a sea of people at the gates made security alarm quickly. "whats going on down there?" -As main even staff flying overhead in helicopter the entire sixty thousand plus for that day was nearly all stuck at the entrance as staff grew alarmed. "I think...they are watching the DJ playing on the stage" -It was like wildfire, drop after magnificent drop. As crowds stopped dead in their tracks entranced by this mysterious new DJ. Soon news spread all over, as it become more and more concerning. "we gotta shut this guy down he is gonna bring the whole damn entrance down on us" -Event staff soon swarmed to get crowds going yet, soon even the event staff was suckered into it. Char played every song, his own creations, mixing them on the fly in an incredible display. While his set was only supposed to be a half hour, the stage hands grew distracted and let Char keep going till finally the manager pulled the plug on it all and everything went silent. The Crowd erupted in cheers and yells, Charming arrived in and instant.  His body was completely soaked in sweat, his heart racing as fast as possible. Sending this Coachella crowd onto a ride of pure fast pace adrenaline before they even hardly made into the festival. Char pulled his shirt off that was stuck to his body and grabbed his flash drive and bowed to the crowd once last time to a roar of applause. It was over. Whatever happened from here he hadnt the slightest but he walked off the stage and back stage he leaned his hands along some stage cargo and closed his eyes for a moment. It was quiet for just a few moments. Those moments he would never forget. The feeling making it and becoming something. But then the heels clicking on the ground, the sounds of cameras flashing. And yells and screams and excitement and voices drowned everything out. As Char turned for a moment to see what was happening. She walked from behind a curtain and walking right for him flooded with Cameras. The Coachella main cameras.  -Even Char knew who she was, the incredible and legendary songstress who was the top headline act for tonight appeared right before him. Her wild emeralds stared him down with such delight. They were surrounded by cameras and security staff. "I think you are playing on the wrong stage handsome" -her voice, commanding and sultry, alluring and flirty as Char didnt say anything she laughed; "cat got your tongue.." -Char was still breathing heaving but he formed his own words slowly; "its..a honor...to meet you Maam" -Mal walked closer to him and made a long face; "Dont call me Maam....sheesh..." -Playing to the cameras, they ate it up, every second, the aura of her was golden and star striking. Yet Char felt something deep on his heart. And her eyes never left his the entire time she spoke; "that was incredible...I just had to see who was causing such a ruckus...and here I was set to host the opening ceremonies and hardly anyone was there...whats your name stud"  -Char looked around, this was really happening. He could feel the cameras on him. The whole world was watching this, and she was right beside him. Almost guiding him along, her hand rested on his shoulder and it calmed him almost. "Char..." -Mal raised a brow; "DJ Char..." -Charming awoke from everything and looked to her again this time his breath caught finally and his baby blues lit up at her; "actually...its DJ Charming" -she laughed as her other hand found itself along his stomach playfully; "well suppose ill have to be the judge of that" -she raised a brow and then she nodded as the Cameras went off and they relaxed some. She leaned into his ear; "I want you backstage tonight for my performance..ill take care of it...you were incredible"  -The way she whispered, even with such simple information, it was seductive, he would hear those whispers for years to come. For the two of them would become inseparable for years to come.

01/01/2024  Arcadia (Chasing Eden) New Years Eve 11:55 PM  Paris, France We all chase for that moment of Eden. No matter how simple or complicated it is. The feeling of obtaining a state of true bliss even if it is but for a few moments. Can take effect on one self for a life time. But of course this feeling and state of being can come through so many different outlets. But often guided by a driving force, be it a special place, or a certain object, or maybe even a special story. The marvelous fables through generations give those warm and wonderful feelings of such happiness. Some fables become more than the stories. They become legendary breaths of life that dare to take form. Becoming the very channeling ships to take so many into their own state of Eden. And perhaps no greater fable, no higher legendary breath of life. Than a Charming man of such wonderful sounds.  Another year in the books and downtown Paris was lined up from bar to bar and street corner to street corner celebrating into the new year. As the city had been converted into the lively festival of St Sylvester. The massive stage set a front of the marvelous Eiffel Tower was a hosted to some of the most iconic and magnificent musical acts around the globe. With the headlining act none other than the dazzling and addictive pop music sensation that was "Zelle". Alison Persinette was a young singer and song writer, famous for a now iconic voice and the most vibrant and beatitful set of blonde locks that seemingly glowed and shimmered under the spotlights of the marvelous stage. She set the world a blaze in only a short of time. As a massive gap in the music industry had been left once again in the tragic aftermath of events surrounding the famous record label Fantasy Records. But Zelle filled that gap quickly and was no the worlds most marvelous and fasted rising star. Taking a main stage gig ending the show of New Years Eve in Paris was a huge deal. And would be a tough spot to follow considering the show from last year. But she captivated and moved ever single soul in the city with her incredible songs and voice. But as the show reached its apex at the stroke of midnight, closing another song out she stopped for a moment to catching her breath. "PARIS LET ME HEAR YOU!!" -She shouted one more only to smile wide and seemingly shimmer and sparkle this radiant red aura of sorts.  Its incredible vibrant hue filtered through into the stadium all around as she gazed up at the massive countdown timer and raised up once more to speak; "Its been a very exhausting but incredible year for me....however...I did not have much a chance to celebrate Christmas this year..." -she walked toward the center of the stage gazing as the clock was reaching the final minute to midnight; "So I brought you guys all a late little but well worth Christmas gift"  -And with that, the entire stage went dark, as all the lights shut down across the stage, and surrounding area, even the massive Eiffel Tower all lit up shut down and even the streets through downtown seemingly all stopped. But the countdown clock continued to tick down as it was the only light through the whole place. Until this roaring and near heart stopping bass line flooded the airwaves causing the downtown area to nearly vibrate. The iconic and so signature feeling of it send a roar so loud through Paris as many couldnt believe their eyes and was still unsure of what it was. But we all knew well. As the bassline pushed through backed under a even harder and powerful kick. It reached a final climax of one more powerful sounding echoing bass. Only for a strong set of vocals to take hold over the crowd.  It ain't over till it's over, oh It ain't over till I say, till I say It ain't over till it's over, oh It ain't over till I break, till I break 'Cause we got this fire and the tide's moving closer I scream through the wire With the world on my shoulders, it ain't over -There was a quiet silence for just a few moments as the clock reached its final seconds to midnight. Only for his incredible voice to come alive once more; "PARIS! LAISSE MOI T'ÉCOUTER!!" -the crowd roared once more to their hero, as the entire place lit up once again in vibrant blues and powerful strobes lights. As the heart stopping bass filled up once more through a distorted series of drumlines that rocked the massive new years eve crowd into a dark style of house music. It was a drop that only lasted but forty-five seconds but it felt like a race for survival as the music took everyone into a deep dive into the water coming out breathless. As the entire place lit up, even the Eiffel Tower once again coming to life through multi lights and wide display of fireworks as the new year officially began to the beats once again of the tidal wave sensation DJ Charming.  It was a shock to the entire music world again, and news releases went on fire in an instant as social media sites were crashing to get content out for this. Char had been on an indefinite medical leave for over nine months, and many believed his career was over once again. The horrid events not filed as the "The Underground" incident was forever a haunting moment in Char;s life had the involvement of the death of his best friend Nick Donia, AKA DJ Naveen. Had the dance music scene in a depressed state as Char went dark. In and out of mental health rehabilitation and on a constant suicide watch. But here he was seemingly out of nowhere alive and well and in full form once again as the big screen showed a close up of the fabled legend spinning the tracks once more!! Because of Char's absence, it put a massive strain on Fantasy Records and made it difficult for them to maintain their chokehold over the entertainment industry. But seemingly out of unknown left field, the marvelous Zelle had pulled this Legendary DJ back to the decks and new music abound once more. Though the dark undertones were clear as the next track left everyone so speechless; The powerful intro faded into silence as a beatitful vocal flooded over the speakers creating a pulse through the whole crowd.  Relax my eyes, I see flashing lights and we're not alone Are you alright on the other side? I can feel you close I feel alive, hear the drums get high and the bass down low Open your mind, we could dance all night, I don't wanna go Only for a earth shattering kick drum beat to hit next that could make you move every inch of your body and get lost within seconds. Even Zelle was dancing upon the stage lost and simply enjoying this iconic scene. As Chars dark big room bass tracks faded out. Zelle took to the mic once more hearing the crowd going crazy; "Did you enjoy your gift Paris!?" -they shouted in cheers nearly making it impossible to even hear Zelle speak herself but she looked back to see the wonderful Charming far to the stage along the decks; "I heard that this DJ is quite a Charmer...perhaps you could show me here and now just how Charmming you are..." -she teased to him as Char smiled taking his mic for a moment; "Oh mon amour, j'ai une chanson juste pour nous.." -Char flirted back as the crowd screamed for the interaction of these two was fan service to the highest grade but the thought of the two having their own song together made the place shake with anticipation. The beat began to play, a perfect pop meets future house track that was the right remedy to sooth the crowd after such a heart stopping race that Char had just put them through. The texture of the timbres and the drumming backed with the mesmerizing vocals of Zelle sent Paris into a frenzy. Baby, this is what you came for Lightning strikes every time she moves And everybody's watchin' her But she's lookin' at you, ooh, ooh You, ooh, ooh, you, ooh, ooh As the setting couldnt get anymore perfect, as light drops of water began to fall from the sky leading into a rain fall that created the mood even more. As their brand new track together began to finish, the faint sounds of the next queued up song had everyone's hands in the air. The rain began to fall heavy once more as the brilliant lights and marvelous magic of Char and Zelle both infused into a gradient rainbow that casted across through the dark skies, as the uplifting melodies of Char's best friend Naveen played one last time. A famous track that Char remixed just for tonight he lifted his hands to the sky creating a heart with his fingers as eyes were hazing and hard to see. The rain made his tears easy to hide. As everyone sang along to every single word in tribute. Monday left me broken Tuesday, I was through with hoping Wednesday, my empty arms were open Thursday, waiting for love, waiting for love Thank the stars, it's Friday I'm burning like a fire gone wild on Saturday Guess I won't be coming to church on Sunday I'll be waiting for love, waiting for love to come around Char closed out New Years Eve Paris with a fresh breath of life and the proper farewell and closure he needed. For now. Zelle had pieced him back together and that was just step one to finally take the fight back to them. Char gazed up into the sky watching the final fireworks display; "Naveen...ill get them brother...."  fin/ ///Roleplay Eden, My name Is DJ Charming and its a pleasure.
