Track One: Are You Experienced?

Re: Track One: Are You Experienced?
Tony pretends not to notice Zara's words, but tries to catch Dr. North's eye to see her reaction by raising an enquiring eyebrow.
He also considers how to bring up what the policeman told him about the murder and see how it matches Zara's supposed prophecies, without accidently seeding the information in her mind by mentioning it first.
However such a conversation will wait until Mr. Ferris has finished his 'turn'. Talking during a performance is the height of bad manners after all!

Liz shivers involuntarily. "Is this just supposition, or do you know this?" she asks. "Did you...dream about it?"

"I'll show you after the gig," Zara said quietly. "It's what you came to see." She swallows the rest of her wine and pours another.

Liz nods, then notices Tony looking at her and raises an eyebrow of her own.

Re: Track One: Are You Experienced?
As the lights, already quite dim, are lowered in preparation for the concert, and the sun sinks into the Pacific, a uneasy mood fills the gloom of Sospiri. No doubt this is partly due to the disturbing words spoken by the young artist, but there are other factors at work. A peculiar mist, barely visible in the darkness, drifts through the room. Perhaps this is no more than a miasma of tobacco and marijuana smoke; perhaps.

"This mist is unnatural," Liz whispers to Zara. She examines it carefully, collecting a sample of it in a small vial and sealing it with a stopper. She then looks around and tries to determine its source.

Zara whispers something under her breath. Anyone able to filter out the music to hear her... (ETA Liz presumably can if she's leaned in close enough to say something to her).She downs the rest of her current drink, as if trying to blot something out.

Lew glances around the room to see if he can spot the object of Zara's concern.

Bill Ferris takes the stage, and launches into a moody, meandering track, made up of chiming mandolin tunes and long vocal howls. Then the lyrics come in: about forlorn lovers, and a knight lost in the forest, and a deep, dark lake... Then he notices the mist. First he thinks somebody kicked in a smoke machine. But no - this is nothing like that.
He starts playing a repetitive pattern on his mandolin, while thumping out the rhythm with his feet. His vocal microphone picks up the thumps, and amplifies them into a hypnotic beat.
While in this trance-like loop, he directs his attention towards the mist.

Carson glances around uneasily and tries to focus on Zara James through the music and smoke; clearly the artist has some insider criminal information on this killer.
Re: Track One: Are You Experienced?
Tony mentally files away Zara's strange utterances for later investigation. Of far greater importance was the appearance, albeit in disguise, of Natasha Bolowski, KGB agent and international jewel thief!
Responsible for the theft of the fabled Patchpole Diamond - an act which nearly bankrupted his family and propped up the Soviet Union financially for several years - he had last seen his beautiful nemesis being slapped in cuffs by the Swedish police. What the deuce was she doing here?
Mumbling apologies to his companions, he made his way through the swaying crowd and fuggy atmosphere and headed after the woman. As Ferris' strange music flowed around him, he grasped the door handle of the exit and stepped outside.

Bill Ferris
Bill finally resolves the monotonic jam into a crescendo. He seeks out Zara in the audience. He then averts his eyes, and starts his next song - a cover of Donovan's recent hit, "Season of the Witch". While playing, he sometimes looks in Zara's direction, trying to see what's happening.

Jack and Tony:
Tony:
The infamous spy and thief has enough of a head start to avoid capture by her nemesis. She attempts to conceal herself among the buildings, many dark and unoccupied, of this section of Venice. She is nearly successful; however, Tony catches a glimpse of her leaping into a speedboat, its motor running, waiting for her in the nearest canal. From the direction of her escape, and given the very few remaining canals that are navigable to any degree, it seems as if she is heading west, a direction which would eventually lead to the sea, near where the abandoned Pacific Ocean Park lies.
