It would be an honor, dear Phantom!

[Trobbio takes the role of the Phantom, ironically. His voice is too low to take Christine, and well, Phantom did say they wanted to be his Angel of Music for this.]

[Together, they sing, Trobbio providing encouragement through his predetermined lines. When the performance is done, he takes a bow with Phantom, then allows them to bow solo. He is extremely impressed with their breath control!]

[This went better than Trobbio could have hoped. He has admired Phantom’s theatrics for a while now, so while he doesn’t show it, he is giddy.]

Thank you for this rousing performance, my friend. May the opportunity to dance together arise again!

@child-of-weaver-and-wyrm

Ah, you… hmm. I suppose so. Come, join me upon the stage.

[Trobbio selects a rather simple song that should be easy for Hornet to follow along. He invites her onstage, and dances as she and the hidden band play. It’s less flashy than most of his other displays, but it’s still a good show with how much passion is behind it. Despite his vanity, Trobbio does know when to let someone else shine, if only for a moment.]

Everyone, applaud for the Lady in Red! Take a bow, Miss. And thank you.

[7/10]

HARK! The performance by the stupendous Trobbio has begun!

Please hand in your tickets to my lovely ticket-taker at the door, and find your seats! Prepare to be dazzled by none other than Trobbio!

OOC: For the next 10 asks, I will be using YOUR suggestions to write miniature snippets of Trobbio’s performance! You can request:

Dance moves

Songs

Mini scenes

Other performances within reason

I will be limiting my responses to a couple hundred words, so don’t expect a full fic or anything. I do have stuff going on, haha. This event will continue until tomorrow so I can get to everything I want to. If your ask isn’t answered, it may be answered in the future for other, non-event-related performances.

Do not send: nsfw asks, ship related asks.

[Smoke bombs flare as a drum roll builds. The performance has just begun, and yet Trobbio is about to have a death scene. Still, audience suggestions were his idea, and he would be remiss not to abide by them.]

[All at once, the smoke bombs go off. Pink glitter is packed into each one, defeating the purpose of the smoke. The result is a dazzling spectacle that makes it difficult to see the performer himself. When the smoke finally settles, Trobbio is lying dramatically on the stage floor. A hand is draped over his eyes as his chest heaves with his final breaths.]

Oh… Woe… such a tragic end to Trobbio, just as this performance begins…

[With a weak cry of his own name, Trobbio gasps and falls limp. He lies there for a moment before another smoke bomb goes off. When the smoke clears this time, Trobbio leaps out of a trapdoor with a burst of glitter, taking a bow.]

[Trobbio obliges. In fact, he does more than just flip. He flies into the air, doing several loops while elegant music flows from the hidden band. Trobbio lands after a moment, smoke bombs going off under the stage and creating pillars of pink smoke.]

[He takes a bow.]

@thelastescalion.

Of course! Green is a beautiful color.

[Trobbio smiles and gestures toward the light crew. The lights change to a vibrant green, with a few staying pink to offset the color. Trobbio twirls between the lights, letting them catch on his wings. The wings refract the pink and green, causing specks of light to dance across the stage.]

[This is the last performance of the night, so let’s make this count! The stage crew leaps into action, moving set pieces around while remaining hidden. One bug passes Trobbio a green glitter bomb (one of the only ones he has) as he passes.]

[The music crescendoes as Trobbio dances. A small, yet grand, staircase is wheeled out from the stage wings. Trobbio prances up the steps, twirling on each one. It’s a sight to behold, the butterfly putting every ounce of theatrics in his body into the performance.]

[When the music reaches its climax, Trobbio releases the glitter bomb, showering green sparkles all over the stage. The pink lights turn yellow, allowing the green to truly shine next to its analogous color.]

[The staircase slowly starts to descend through the stage, Trobbio still on it. The trapdoor closes, and everything is still for a moment. Then, another trapdoor opens and Trobbio bursts out to thunderous applause. He bows repeatedly, basking in the praise of the audience.]

Thank you, thank you all for attending! This has been one of the greatest performances of my lifetime. I will be signing autographs by the door, should you desire one. Goodnight, Pharloom!
