Mellow Musician

The **Mellow Musician** is a Seasonal Spirit from the Season of Performance who offers the  Headbob Expression. The Mellow Musician is found left of the entrance to the Village Theater, at the top of steps between two buildings. The collectibles offered by this Spirit are a  Mask, a  Cape, the  Electric Guitar Instrument and a  Hairstyle.

## Memory

The Mellow Musician Spirit can be found in the Village Theater, to the player's immediate left when entering the area from Village of Dreams. The Mellow Musician is at the top of a relatively tall flight of stairs, nestled between two buildings. This Spirit is a standard memory quest with 7 memory fragments, with a 15-minute overall time limit.

As you relive its memory, you can see the Mellow Musician and the Frantic Stagehand carrying a stack of props over towards the Theater. The Frantic Stagehand loads the props onto a sled for easier transport, but Musician is distracted by something on the other side of the row of buildings. Musician finds the Twirling Champion and the Cheerful Spectator playing music together on their instruments, and forgets about the task at hand. The Stagehand looks around, confused as to where the Musician went. Eventually, the Stagehand finds the Musician bouncing along to the beat of the music that the Champion and Spectator are playing.

At the end of the memory, the Stagehand is seen running over to the Musician, who is bobbing their head along to the song. The Stagehand puts their hands on their hips in response to the sight before them.

## Expression

The  Headbob Expression has 4 levels.

Headbob Level 1Headbob Level 2Headbob Level 3Headbob Level 4
* Level 1 will make your avatar bob their head back and forth as if listening to a fun song, while a distinct, faintly electronic beat plays.
* Level 2 makes the same motion as Level 1, with a white glow around your head and light particles following the movement of your head.
* Level 3 will make your avatar take a dramatic step forward before rocking their whole body back and forth. The rocking motion is a full-body motion, and is more slow and dramatic than the head bob seen in Level 1. A similar beat with a slower tempo plays in the background.
* Level 4 makes the same motion as Level 3, with a white glow around your head and light particles following the movement of your head.

## Cosmetics

### Mask

The Mask offered by this Spirit is a stone grey mask with a pointy nose, almost-closed eyes and one white, curved stroke along each side of the mask, curving from the chin up into eyebrow shapes. It was available to all players during the Season from the Friendship Tree's second node (12  total).

### Instrument

The instrument offered by this Spirit is the **Electric Guitar**. It was a Season Pass exclusive item during the Season, available after unlocking the Friendship Tree's fifth node (66  total). It plays 15 notes and is played standing, but even so the player cannot move around their avatar while playing (unlike all other standing instruments).

The icon for this instrument features a "fermata" symbol in its upper left corner. In music notation, this symbol allows you to play and hold a note for as long as you want. The same principle applies to this guitar, and you are able to hold any note for as long as you want as well. Once the sound of the initial strum fades away, a pleasant hum takes its place for as long as you hold the note.

The Electric Guitar plays the melody part on music sheets. Its pitch is the one octave lower than the standard Piano (in C major, it covers C3 to C5).

In Harmony Hall, the Electric Guitar can be found in the left room with all the other stringed instruments, in its own niche in the center of the wall.

### Hair

The Hairstyle offered by this Spirit is a voluminous, fluffy hairstyle with a red hairband tied around the head, resembling a popular fitness hairstyle from the 80's. It was available to all players during the Season from the Friendship Tree's sixth node (102  total).
