Big Dipper Talent is a production company, dedicated to bringing only the best entertainment to the whole of Spirale, and fostering the talented individuals brought here to make them shine like the stars they should be, or like the stars they were formerly.

We also offer catering for our employees!

     "For those whose embers yet burn, we shall rekindle your greatness."

“While I’ve no interest in starting a war, I’m ever eager to employ more technicians regardless of expertise. And though I’ve not yet found our current pyrotechnical repertoire to be lacking, perhaps you’ll add something new to the mix?”

Autumn is just about finally here and I, Okina Matara, have magnanimously decided to yet again pay back all my shining stars and those who cheer them on with another festival. This time, I’ll be offering you all a divine otsukimi— bringing the brilliance of fall to a forefront in this spectacular moon-viewing festival!

What Is It?

The Hidden Fall Otsukimi is meant to be a gathering meant for one to indulge themselves in the splendors of the autumnal season while basking underneath the glow of the moon.

There will be food stands featuring traditional autumn food such as sweet potatoes, mushroom skewers, season fruits and nuts (such as persimmons and chestnuts), grilled fish, oden and more— along with various stalls to participate in games to win prizes, such as goldfish scooping, (toy) gun shooting, ring tossing, and so on.

In addition, there’ll be various stalls to purchase festive objects, such as masks and the like. Residents of Spirale are more than welcome to set up shop with permission from Big Dipper Talent, with a 10% tax on profits. We currently are partnered with Fire & Iron, but welcome any other local merchants to partake.

There will also be a small stage where a handful of our performers— including Troupe Master Grimm and the flautist Waka, among others!

Where Is It?

We’ll be holding this little event in a spot resting between the Ophiuchus Tree and the Forest of Airaisal, close to the river. A helpful map will be sent to all employees.

When Is It?

The Hidden Fall Otsukimi shall be taking place on September 29th, from noon until the late evening. This shall be but for one night, so I hope you can make it!

Who Is Invited?

While primarily for employees of Big Dipper Talent, the general public is free to join as well! However— same as with our Hanami celebration, members of Big Dipper Talent will be given passes for free food and drink, with two additional passes for friends they would like to invite.

Non-employees and locals without passes must pay for their own food and drink, but may otherwise enjoy their time with us at no expense! Of course, this doesn’t apply to the other stands we’ll have set up.

Full Name: Freiya Nimue. 

Age: ... 15, maybe? Haven't thought about it. 

Talents: Singing, playing many instruments [current specialty violin], puppeteer. 

Prior Experience/History: Sung mostly on the streets, or in small shows ran in festivals, played haunting tunes on instruments in plenty of independent shows, is capable of showing off why puppets are fun and possible to battle with, too. 

Why You Wish to Join Big Dipper Talent: Looking towards to do something but also still wanting perform for fun. @soul-star​

“We certainly have been getting such young talent as of late... not that it’s a bad thing. On the contrary, full glad am I to give the estranged young stars brought here a chance to grow ever brighter! Ah, but that aside— welcome to Big Dipper Talent, Freiya!”

Full Name: Trucy Wright

Age: 17

Talents: Magic, theater/stage production

Prior Experience/History: I've been putting on magic shows since I was eight! Back home I help run a talent agency (and law firm) and a few months ago I had a big, televised stage-play-magic-show!

Why You Wish to Join Big Dipper Talent: I can't be Trucy Wright, magician, if I'm not putting on magic shows :P @theacemagician​

“Haha, well now! I’m fortunate you applied here as opposed to trying to give me a run for my money then, heh heh. But to have been participating for so long while still young— how inspiring! Your dedication to the craft must be no joke.”

 Age: 41 

 Position: Instructor 

 Prior Experience/History: Well, I've never held an official title of dancer or singer, but I've taken quite a few classes in my day and I've been told that they paid off in the long run. If I might brag a little, I've been known to be a decent choreographer and my singing isn't too bad, either. I'm also well-acquainted with making a performance land right. I'm going to brag yet again, but I was invited to host one of the largest fundraisers in New York City for a reason. 

 Why You Wish to Join Big Dipper Talent: Quite honestly...it's been....difficult, being displaced here and this seemed like something that's at least vaguely familiar to me. It certainly isn't architecture or real estate, but it's something I know very well, regardless. And, judging by some of the other...unique...characters here, I don't believe you'd be willing to judge me for not being...you know. Human. @birdregard​​

“Of course, there’s no need to worry about what you are. I’m not human myself, after all. Anyways, I judge one mainly by their merits— and it’s evident from yours that you would indeed fit nicely as one of our instructors!”

have graduated from good university assistant manager at an IT company in Tokyo assistant director of Royal Accounting Department Microsoft Office Specialist certificate proficient with abacus

Why You Wish to Join Big Dipper Talent:  I believe my skills will be valuable for the growth of your company. It's also natural for me to look a job similar to my previous expertise. @workaho1ic​​

“This might be the most normal application I've yet to receive. That in itself is something of an amusement... regardless, you're more than qualified for the job.”

Aah, but back home, I was vice prefect for a dormitory all to do with beauty and the arts. It was a live-in position to guide and instruct our beloved students to perform and excel! I, too, have taken quite the favourable position of shadowing a famous model and actor. Perhaps I push him a bit too hard here and there, but…

We commonly participated in competitions where I, too, would assist in both judging, leading, guiding, acting, dancing… you get the idea, I’m certain of it.

Why You Wish to Join Big Dipper Talent: My heart breaks at the sheer thought of skills guiding others to break down and decay! A fate worse than death! It is the noble sentiment of a hunter to apply his skills elsewhere!

Aah, and did I mention? I’m quite skilled in learning just about all there is to know about whomever the agency sets their eyes upon. I’m positively certain I can learn what makes our actors tick…Or, to learn the habits of whomever our agency eyes! Please, I insist. An exemplar.

[ ATTACHED is a series of weirdly cryptic facts on Jiro Yamada. These include observations of habits, staple times to sleep and eat, as well as more precise things such as his BPM and clothing size. ]

I hope that this application suffices!

[ mun note: I got taki/jiro muns permission to add this bit!!!!!!!! we’re bros]

“Ahahaha...”

“And you would be a fool to refer to your potential employer as such… of course, fortunately for you, I am no fool. And reckless confidence such as yours just so happens to be entertaining to me— especially if you have the talent to back it up.”

“You again... that is enough. This is an application, and I don’t need these superfluous comments, even if I do commend you for writing this all out. I suppose there’s also value to be found in tenacity... but I still can’t in good faith accept you as a performer. Making webs and screeching isn’t enough, in my opinion. ... However...”
