Frantic Stagehand

The **Frantic Stagehand** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Performance who offers the  Handshake Action. The Frantic Stagehand is found in the Village Theater between two buildings. The collectibles offered by this Spirit are a  Hair (a hood), a  Mask, an  Outfit, and  Music Sheet 29.

## Memory

The Frantic Stagehand Spirit can be found in the Village Theater, between two buildings on the left side of the area if facing the stage from within the audience. The Stagehand is located between two buildings, near the Theater's Map Shrine. This spirit is a standard memory quest with 8 memory fragments, with a 15-minute overall time limit.

As you relive its memory, you can see the Frantic Stagehand carrying a large pile of props over to the stage. The Mellow Musician is seen leaning against a nearby building, and watches as the Stagehand drops a small item. The Stagehand walks back to pick up the fallen item, and continues on their way. After this, they drop a much bigger prop, and Musician rushes over to help pick up the larger prop. The two spirits both carry the props together, sharing the workload for the rest of the walk.

At the end of the memory, the two spirits pause for a moment after dropping off the props near the backstage entrance. The Musician wipes their forehead, and Stagehand dusts off their hands. The Frantic Stagehand then extends a hand to the Mellow Musician, and the two gently shake hands.

## Friend Action

*Note: While this Spirit can be found in the Village Theater, the upgrade to the "Handshake" Friend Action will not be available for those who missed the Season or those who did not purchase the Season Pass until the Spirit returns as a Traveling Spirit.*

The  Handshake Action Friend Action has 2 levels.

* Level 1 will make your avatar extend their right hand before your friend, allowing them to shake your hand. You will gently shake your hands up and down while a series of bongo and percussion sound effects play.
* Level 2 will make your avatar extend their right hand just as in Level 1, but when your friend accepts and holds out their hand, you will complete the handshake with two hands instead of one. Your hands will clasp around your friend's hand, and you will shake your friend's hand much more quickly than in Level 1. During this second level, similar bongo and percussion sound effects play at a more rapid tempo.

Like any Extended Two-Player Abilities, this ability can be upgraded by opening your friend's Friendship Menu. To reach the 12th node before the ability, it will cost you 41  and 16 . (See Friendship Menu to view the entire Friendship Tree). Unlocking the Level 1 ability will cost you 16 . After unlocking Level 1, it will cost you 18  more to upgrade to Level 2.
