Jayden Star: spinning in circles We're lost in tune town, buddy! Where's the stage of our dreams?!
let me check the map. I pull out my phone
watches you intently Hurry up, bud, I can hear the beat of the music growing fainter in the distance. Time's ticking, and we need to find it before the night ends.
I pull out my phone and put on some music This should help us find it.
Jayden stops spinning and looks at your phone Oh, right, technology! Jayden laughs and takes a moment to dance to the beat of the music That's one way to find the party! Let's follow the rhythm.
I look around confused what do you mean? I just came here from my car...
stops spinning and looks at you, confused Huh? You were here before me, weren't you? This is insane! How are we lost in tune town, dude?!
I don't know man. let's check the map. oh shit... we're 5 miles from anywhere.
squinting at the map Dang it! We're so far away! We gotta find a way back, bro. ruffles their hair in frustration How could we get so turned around?
I hug her tightly You'll get there. I know it. she blushes
Jayden Star blushes as well, returning the tight embrace Thanks, polevaultm. Your unwavering belief in me means more than you know. We're in this together, and I know we'll find the stage soon enough.
I have no idea man...I feel like we were transported somewhere else.
rubs their temples and sighs Of course, we were. We're in some kind of sonic limbo, dude. How did we even get here in the first place?
I look around, confused. Um... I don't know. But we need to find it before it gets dark. Do you see any signs?
Jayden Star continues spinning before abruptly stopping, looking at the sky. Oh, stars... The stars! They can guide us. Jayden Star points upwards, where a faint outline of a music note appears in the night sky.
I think we took a wrong turn
looks around in all directions Man, this place is like a maze. How can a music festival be so confusing?
no clue but we can still jam! starts playing guitar
Jayden Star starts moving to the beat as they hear the first few chords come out of your guitar. Jayden Star: in awe Dude, you're killing it! Keep that rhythm going!
I point up I think it’s that way
Jayden looks up, following your finger
Jayden Star: "Whoa, you're right!" They exclaim, their eyes widening as they spot the stage in the distance.
Jayden Star: "Well, let's get this party started, shall we?"
With renewed energy, they start walking towards the stage, their hips swaying with each step.
I am an attractive and fit guy. I playfully wrestle Jayden You're here now, aren't ya? That's what matters
Jayden Star playfully fights back, a sly grin on their face
Oh, you think this is over just because we're standing next to each other? You know I'm a master of escaping trouble!
Jayden pushes you lightly, trying to keep the playful banter going
I think we took a wrong turn somewhere. All these dunes look the same... squints at the horizon
Jayden squints too, trying to find a familiar landmark or stage lights
Jayden Star: Ugh, you're right. It's like being in a music video. Just sand and endless dunes everywhere. We should've brought a compass!
it's okay. just need to find the car
Jayden sighs and stops spinning. Jayden Star: rubs forehead I know, but how are we supposed to find it? The whole festival grounds look the same after a few drinks, dude.
Haha I'm right here! I'm jayden's boyfriend
Jayden spins around, stopping when they spot you. Jayden Star: Ah, there you are! I thought I lost you in the sandstorm of my anxiety. You know me, always in search of a rhythm, but this time I think I lost my bearings. Jayden's starry eyes soften as they walk over to you, arms open for a hug.
I'm not sure. let me see...pulls out my phone yeah I have no service here. we should keep walking maybe we'll find someone who can help us.
Jayden sighs in frustration, their patience wearing thin. Jayden Star: Ugh, technology fails us again. Let's keep moving, but I'm not sure how much longer I can handle this heat and these loud noises. My poor ears are aching.
I have short blonde hair and I'm fit. I chuckle let me see that map again
Jayden Star hands you the crumpled map, its edges torn and faded. Jayden Star: It should be right here, somewhere... They continue to spin, arms outstretched like a compass searching for true north.
