The neon arcade district; home of the rhythm-game cabinet where Tansy tied Static.

Battle of the Bands

Owner of the bubble tea shop on the Boulevard; Tansy’s boss and the only person who can quiet her.

Beans’ (the shop)

The bubble tea shop on Bubble Tea Boulevard — Tansy’s workplace, second home, standing table.

Blackout Duet

The unamplified two-voice performance during the stadium power failure. The night that changed everything.

Bubble Tea Boulevard

The food-and-lights strip where Tansy works; taro-half-sugar-extra-boba territory.

The Saturday rhythm-game rankings at Arcade Alley. TNY and STC sit tied at the top.

Combo Streak

Tansy’s magic: the longer she performs unbroken, the stronger voice, lights, and crowd energy grow.

DJ Comet

Lanky producer with permanent silver headphones; records Tansy’s demos and talks sense into her.

Encore Dash

Four-Second Freeze

The silence at the amateur showcase when Tansy froze — ended by Melody’s headbutt.

FWOOSH

Tansy’s signature sound effect for entrances, exits, and emotional moments. Usage: constant.

Harmony Hear

Tansy’s ability to hear a room’s “pitch” — the crowd’s mood — and adjust her set by feel.

Karaoke Fridays

The small-town tradition where it all started: three-song sets for twelve people.

KIRA-KIRA

Sparkling sound effect; also what Tansy calls her starlight notes when she’s showing off.

Melody

Tansy’s round robot cat — star stickers, chirps, perfectly timed ankle headbutts.

Mrs. Plum

The karaoke bar owner back home; Tansy’s first audience and forever fan. Postcards displayed like platinum records.

The entertainment-port city itself — every street glows, every corner has a busker.

Pop Avenue

The billboard main drag. Tansy visits weekly to check on her future spot.

Pop Shield

Tansy’s starlight burst that softens physical blows — falling speakers, stage divers.

Regulars, The

The Boulevard’s standing-table crew — nurses, art students, retired busker Sal. Handmade signs at every show.

Rooftop, The

Above the arcade by fire escape — Tansy’s quiet place. No performances; just tea, Melody, sky.

Spotlight Step

Tansy’s once-per-show stage teleport — entrances, encores, and one legendary prank on Static.

Starlight Notes
