First proper post for Edgewave 2026 - two fans, both united by being outcasts and their love for music, finally meet in person! As for the actual Edgewave act, they'll come up in a later post.
I have a surprise in store as well later, involving another Simblr, hehe.
Image 1: This year's Edgewave festival is taking place in sunny Sulani - and the fans are soaking up the last of the tropical sunshine as evening settles in.
Image 2: Edgewave is not for the false, it is not for the faint of heart, and it is not for those who want clean, pretty aesthetics. Those who do not obey the rules, the outcasts, those that are true to themselves - Edgewave is a home for them.
Image 3: Brooke has arrived from dull Henford to meet her online friend, Māhealani, who she bonded with over their shared love for music. There's only one problem - she could be almost any woman in this crowd...
Image 4: The crowd are already cheering away, and the first act hasn't even come up on stage yet. After searching and searching, Brooke can't seem to find her friend anywhere even though she's been calling her name...
Image 5: Brooke: Oh, it's hopeless! what if she couldn't make it? Or she got nervous meeting an online friend? Oh, I was really hoping to finally meet her...
Image 6: Brooke: Oh, well. I can guess I can still enjoy the sh-
Image 7: Unknown voice: BOO!
Brooke: AGH! Watcher, what is your problem - Wait - Is that -
Image 8: Māhealani: What, you didn't think I was going to just not turn up, did you? I wouldn't miss it for the world.
Brooke: I wouldn't miss Edgewave for anything, either.
Māhealani: Not Edgewave, silly! I meant you!
Image 9: Māhealani: Wow, Henfordians really are as short as they look, huh?
Brooke: Hey!
Image 10: Brooke: I hear the Ravagers won't be here this year. Hopefully we'll see WeirdoW and Dice and Domino again, though.
Māhealani: I wonder if they'll have anyone new here this year?
Ravagers are @aniraklova's band from the previous Edgwaves, Dice and Domino + WEirdoW are @crazy-hazy-sims's!
