Re: Band Smash!

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: "Well, I can try and harmonize..." I offered, "My mother taught me all the stuff so I'm pretty good at doing it," I shrugged. I strummed the guitar and hummed softly, waiting for his reply.
"I'm holding on, waiting for your call.
It's simple but I can't explain this.
I'm sinking down, I feel like I could die.
I'm falling off, I dunno why.
I still believe it when you say it's another perfect day.
Another perfect day.
I still believe it when you say it's another perfect day.
Another perfect day,"
I sang softly, biting my lip after wards, "Sorry, it's a personal song... American Hi-Fi..."

[peachie-keen]

I smiled to myself. He was standing right by the amps... With one impulse movement, I shot up the volume, and spoke into muffled microphone next to me. "Thanks for the help." My voice boomed out, sending them practically collapsing to the floor.

[KenzieJo]

Gerard: I bite my lip, "I really shouldn't, they are Lisey's songs after all." It would be weird to sing them with anyone else, "Personal songs I guess." I say, hoping she would understand. "If you'd like I could do another song?" I say, making a small movement to take the guitar, but only if she wanted me too.

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: "Go for it," I smiled, although I was a bit down from the song. Damn I haven't listened that song in the same light for ages... I crossed my legs on the beanbag, getting comfty by putting a pillow on my lap and resting my arms on there.

Digby: "Shit!" I got up, "Don't do that or I'll go karate on your manicured butt!" I bobbed my head side-to-side, "Anyway, where's the beer you were talking about?"
Chris: "Soda for you Diggers," I ruffled his hair and got up, smiling a bit.
Drew: "What have you guys been doing?" I walked out, "Nice hair Digby," I smiled at his hair, completely messed up.
Ricky: "It suits ya," I added, walking from behind him.
Ricochet: "Okay, where's Tori?" I looked at them, "Damn where is she? We got to get sorted for the gig, and she takes forever!"

[peachie-keen]

Alex: I catch Mervin, the organiser out of the corner of my eye. "Hey, wait a sec, Merv!" I call out, before looking towards the other band. "Hands up who can drink." I tell them, the sound about halfway now.

[OpenTheDoor]

Drew: I watched as me, Chris and Ricochet put our hands up.
Ricochet: "But you're not having any..." I looked at them, my expression stern but then it softened, "Afterwards you can get pissed, okay?"
Chris: "That's why we love ya Ricochet!" I smiled at him and put my hand down.

[peachie-keen]

Alex: "So only one then? Matt always gets pissed out of his head right before a gig." I shrug. "Merv, can you get us two beers and four sodas?" I asked him sweetly, cocking my head to the side, and he seemed to give in. "Fine..." he muttered before walking off. "Thankyou!" I called out after.

[OpenTheDoor]

Ricochet: "You can get em pissed after the gig, otherwise Tori would be annoyed at them..." I sighed, "I'm gonna call her," I took out my phone and pressed in the keys, waiting for to pick up.
Drew: "Soda?" I sighed, "Oh well, as long as it isn't peach..."

[KenzieJo]

Gerard: I take the guitar, holding it for a moment, savoring how familiar in was. I chew my lip, trying to pick a song, my mind going to one I learned not long ago. I strum timidly
"It's empty in the valley of your heart The sun, it rises slowly as you walk away from all the fears And all the faults you've left behind"
I take a breath, trying to focus.
"The harvest left no food for you to eat You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see But I have seen the same I know the shame in your defeat"
I close my eyes, remembering the song perfectly now.
"But I will hold on hope And I won't let you choke On the noose around your neck And I'll find strength in pain And I will change my ways I'll know my name as it's called again"
I continue until I finish the song, biting my lip when I stop.

[peachie-keen]

(Hey! I take offence to drew's comment! xD )

Alex: "I think I might phone my little kids, too. I reach to get my phone out, when I hear Matt outside.

Matt: "They were huge! The were litterally the size of basketballs!"

Alex: I roll my eyes, listening for any other voices, and when I heard nothing, it only confirmed that the other three were with him.

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: I smiled, "Whoa, get out there boy," I winked at him, "You have an amazing voice, you don't deserve to be singing backing," I quoted Ricochet, well, I swapped the girl for boy but yeah. I bit my lip, "I guess I know what they're talking about getting out there if you have the voice... Damn Ricochet!" My phone began to buzz, "Speak of the Devil," I sighed and clicked the button.
"Tori? Where are you?" his voice hissed at me.
"In the back of a van with Gerard. He's singing and it's amazing," I smiled.
"I don't care! Get your butt down here!"
"The doors locked and it's raining..." I moaned, just like Holly.
"Not anymore! And I'll get the door, just go!" the phone was cut off.
"I guess I'll see ya later then," I sighed, putting my phone back in my pocket, "But seriously, sing," I pointed at him and got out of the back, sighing at the faint glow of the Sun behind a lone cloud.

Ricochet: "Digby, go open the door, you have the energy," I sighed.
Digby: "The front one? Okay," I shrugged, it would give me a chance to ask about this funeral... I walked off to go find her.

[KenzieJo]

Gerard: I give her a grin, blushing. "Yeah, see you later." I say busying myself with putting away my comics. Before leaving I make a move to grab my guitar, but think better of it, leaving it sitting on one of the beanie bags. I lock up the van walking back to the rooms where Lisey and Adam are. No sign of Jon.

[peachie-keen]

Alex: As the door opened, I heard Matt's voice getting louder.
Matt: "I'm telling you, they were huge. And real!"
Alex: I shook my head, striding after Digby to reprimand Matt. Or make him jump, at least.

[OpenTheDoor]

Digby: "Okay, now I have a stalker," I turned around and laughed, "But I can fend you off if I want to..." I picked up a mop, "Tae Quon Do since I seven," I smiled, spinning the mop around my hand and back again, "Nah, but seriously, are you a stalker?" I put the mop down at the side.

[KenzieJo]

Jon: The phone rings shortly before she answer. "Hey Johnny. How are you?" her voice is like honey same as always. "I'm great, we just got to the venue, the ride here was hard, Adam wouldn't shut up." I hear her familiar laugh and smile. "So hows school, everything smooth I hope." I ask, knowing it is. She goes on for a few moments, updating me on the latest events. "I miss you." She says lightly, "I miss all of you." She's probably sitting in the apartment, I can hear music in the background. "We miss you too." Its silent for a moment. "I should get going, work soon." She says with reluctance. "Of course." I say, "Safe and Sound Whit?" I ask, turning over my free hand to see the words tattooed in scrawled script. "Safe and sound Johnny. Love you." I knew she was doing the same. "Love you too." We hang up and I rest my head against the wall, eyes closed and craving more coffee.

[peachie-keen]

Alex: My expression is rather unfazed. "If I was, would you be bothered?" I ask, walking straight past his deadly mop.

[OpenTheDoor]

(@Kenzie, Awww that's sweet!)

Digby: "Yes, I'm only seventeen y'know? You could be a nasty person..." I sniffed, "Nah, I need to get Tori in..." I sighed, I kept on walking. I put my hand on the door knob, and banged against it, "Okay, it's stuck..."
Tori: "Digby? I thought Rico was getting it? Oh the lazy..." I cursed, "Use this!" I slipped my card underneath, "You do know how to do that, right?"
Digby: "No," I sighed, stepping backwards, "Okay, move out of the way!" I called through. I sighed and centred myself, "Lighter than a slice of bread," I breathed in and kicked the door down, "Oh cool. Thanks Fantastic Mr Fox!"
Tori: "You do know that it was pretty simple," I picked up the card and put it in my back pocket, "Come on."

[peachie-keen]

Alex: Harlie's voice suddenly perked up, inturupting Matt's lecture about something that was rather... big.
Harlie: "Oh my God it's freaking Tori!" I yelled, running over to her, scooping her up in a bear hug. "You are so amazing!" I shouted, beaming.
Alex: I rolled my eyes and crept up behind Matt, putting a finger to my lips to the other two as I did so.

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: "Okay but I'm getting squish-" I breathed in, tapping his arm to let me go, "Come on," I was running low on breath.
Digby: "Okay, Tori's got a new mate..." I laughed.
Tori: "Okay, off Harlie!" I practically screamed, he was pressing down on my sore wrists, I winced slightly, my face screwing up.

[peachie-keen]

Harlie: I set her down, beaming down at her. "I freaking love you!" I yelled, like a lovestruck fangirl.

Matt: "I mean, I asked her if she'd had anything done or not, but-"
Alex: I prodded him, making him jump about ten foot in the air.
Matt: "Holy shhhhh!" I recovered quickly, spinning around. "Hey, Alex..."
Alex: "Get your arses inside. Now." I said, my voice unnesseccarily stern. I trotted inside, the three following my rather morbidly. I love having power.

[KenzieJo]

Jon: I walk into the room, looking to the others lounging on the couch. "Whit says hi, and she misses you." I say, leaning against the wall. Lisey gives me a small smile and asks how she's doing. I relay the conversation, assuring them she's perfectly fine. "Im going to grab the coffee machine from the van, the one backstage sucks and everyone deserves a decent brew." They all nod and Adam stands, offering to help. He follows me to the van, while I grab the heavy machine he grabs the bags of coffee and the grinder, we walk in step back to the coffee room.

Adam: "So," I say, glancing at Jon, "Did Whit say anything about Lacey by chance?" Its a long shot, but I had to ask. He doesn't even falter, only letting out a sigh as he walks. "You know they don't get along. And why does it even matter Adam, she cheated on you. And your better than that." I blink and look down at the ground, hearing him sigh again. "I'll ask her next time, but don't get your hopes up, she isn't worth it." I nod, knowing its not, but unable to forget about her. "Thanks Jon."

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: I bit my lip hard and breathed in, "Okay, that freaking stung!" I held my wrists.
Digby: "So, you did," I took my arm and rolled up the sleeve, "Hell, Tori!" I shouted, but sighed, "But they looked cleaned up..."
Tori: "Yeah," I snatched my arm back, "Gerard did them for me," I rolled the sleeve down, "He's in the contest and such with his band."
Digby: I just nodded, deciding that this was bad and probably something to do with whose funeral it was... Better not ask then, "Come on then, Rico's getting pissed at us and you." I grabbed her wrist at a part that wasn't sliced and brought her to them, telling her that it's bad to do that.

[peachie-keen]

Harlie: I shook my head, angry. I'll tell her not to do that. It's awful for your complexion!
Alex: I folded my arms, walking in with the three musketeers behind me, all likewise folding their arms and looking down.

[KenzieJo]

Jon: I place the machine on the counter next to the old one, rubbing the cramps out of my arms. I pluck the grinder and a bag of beans from Adam as he places the rest in the cupboard, setting them up next to it. I begin making a brew, grinding the coffee as the smell fills the room. "Just like home." Adam say, leaning against the counter, I nod smiling, asking him to fill the machine with water. Once I turn on the machine it hums to life, a hiss comes from it's depths. It doesn't take long, and I put a cup under it, pressing a buttom to get the steaming coffee, and hand it to Adam. "Better than that crap anyday." He mumbles, and I laugh in agreement.

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: "Okay, she's like their mother," I whispered into Digby's ear, trying to cheer him up, "Oh come on Digby, you know I do it!"
Digby: "Yes, but you stopped! You quit! You stopped for ages, like half a year and then you started again! Do you know how annoying that is?" I stopped and gripped her hands, "Come on, people don't do that!"
Tori: "Maybe, I have a reason Digby," I scooted around him and sighed, "Maybe something that wasn't meant to happen happened? What would you do if a loved one died? The second one this year and it's only February!"
Digby: I gulped, I knew her uncle died of heart disease... "Who?"
Tori: "My mother," I said in the same tone and walked over, biting my lip. Man, I needed to get back to the tree and get the blade out... Now, only Drew doesn't know.

[OpenTheDoor]

Ricky: "You said you were gonna tell me..." I pointed to the machine. To be honest I was sent to search for Digby and Tori... Damn a rescue party for a rescue party... I leant against the counter, "You haven't seen Tori or Digby have you?"
Digby: "Tori!" I ran up the corridor.
Tori: "Yeah?" I spun around, I put the aviators down, covering my eyes, starting to get puffy, plus I heard Ricky talking to someone.
Digby: "I'm sorry, okay?" I smiled at her.
Tori: "Look, don't worry, you didn't know," I shrugged it off and walked up to Ricky, "Coffee addicted," I laughed at him, although I wasn't particularly in the mood.
