► READ ABOUT REGAINS HERE!

Starting mid November, both labels will start receiving visits from either member of a mysterious pair. They both wear masks and give no names, their voices distorted by some kind of internal auto-tuner that makes it sound artificial. Besides these protective helmets, they dress entirely in black.

They appear on the edges of performances and press meetings, or even your favourite hang outs, but they never stay for long. Once they talk to you, you’ll know why. Whatever their agenda, it is clearly not in your label’s best interest – but if you humour them, they have the ability to bestow upon you things that have been lost.

☆WHAT WE ARE

One of these mysterious figures will approach you in a private moment, and each time the conversation will be close to the same. You'll heart them speaking before you ever see them.

"You don't know it yet, but something has been taken from you. If you want, I can help to bring it back."

They are sparing with their words, as if they are afraid of pushing you too far - far enough that it might trigger whatever hold this world has on you. If you express doubt, they will continue.

"Haven't you ever experienced something strange, since you got here? Felt like somehow...you've ended up in the wrong place? In the wrong skin? You're not alone, here, even if it might feel like it. Play along, just for a minute - maybe if you see it, you'll believe."

If you ask how, they'll show you.Each of them carries a strange musical device that, when used, produces a vast variety of sounds - seemingly capable of mimicking most forms of music. They'll ask you to play with them, from your heart, and whether you sing or strum, you'll feel a familiar tune come forth. And part way through your duet, you'll feel something start to change.

The effect may be immediate, or they may appear gradually over a series of days. Either way, though, if you participate, you will be able to regain part of your old self. They seem able to sense how much MP you currently have, and will remark on it as follows:

1-10: Weak, but growing.
11-20: Seemingly what they're expecting, standard.
21-25: They are surprised at its strength.
25+: Exceptional, they are almost incredulous. How could this happen so quickly?

After your first duet, they will appear again occasionally to help you again if you wish. With their sense of you power, they'll also be able to give you an idea of what aspects of yourself you may be able to acquire, if you try - if there are things you remember that you want returned.

If your character declines from the start, they won't pressure you. They'll leave as soon as they get the chance.

NOTE: If you'd rather not have you character tempted by Contraband assume they never got the chance! Fame Rewards, however, do not require a scene. In the case of Power, it is something your character is instinctively beginning to learn on their own, and in the case of Fortune, it is something that will be directly gifted to them by their label.
