Re: Band Smash!

[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.

[KenzieJo]

Jon: I smile at them, holding the sugar above my head away from Adam, who's cup was already half sugar "Just got finished the first brew. If you'd like some." I say, finishing the cup in my hand. "You don't know a coffee addict til you know Jon." Adam says, I just shrug as I refill my cup. we all knew it was true.

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: "I think Ricky's getting close though," I ruffled his hair and laughed, "Okay, but I'll see ya later; we gotta get changed and stuff..." I flicked my fringe to the side and laughed, "And I'll have some coffee later."
Digby: "She seems cheered up..." I sighed.
Ricky: "You know?" I asked as he nodded, "Okay then. Someone will have to tell Drew then, and make it like he's not the last one to know, that would just piss him and then he'll try to slit Tori's throat..."

[KenzieJo]

Jon: I look between the two silently sipping my coffee, knowing its not my place to interupt, though worried about the slitting throats part, and hoping their kidding.

Adam: "Know what?" I ask, earning a swift kick and stern look from Jon, I just roll my eyes. He's like the older brother I never wanted. "But I love you anyways Johnny." I say, hugging him around the waist while he squirms away, confused.

[OpenTheDoor]

Digby: "If you really must know then you're an arse-hole..." I rolled my eyes, "Sorry, but it's not you're area and thanks for that Jon," I nodded at him, "Anyway, we gotta get sorted... See ya guys around?"
Ricky: "That was a little harsh..." I grunted, "But she's only in hop."
Digby: "Nope worse," I bit my lip, "She said..."
Ricky: "Shit! No..." I cursed under my breath, "Shit..."

[KenzieJo]

Jon: "Don't mind Adam, he is an ass." I say, though Adams not even paying attention, instead filling his cup with sugar. "We'll talk to you later, most likely will watch the show." I fill my cup again, yawning. It had been a long day.

[OpenTheDoor]

Digby: "Sure," I nodded and walked off to find Tori and Chris...

Tori: "I am not wearing that!" I pointed to it; my nightmare; no sleeves, "No way!"
Ricochet: "Oh come on! Please?" I pushed it forward, "Is it just the sleevelessness?" I watched her nod, "Wear the coat on top then."
Tori: "Okay," I sighed and took the outfit; a waistcoat thing... I hated it.

[KenzieJo]

Lisey: Jon brings coffee back and we thank him, all sitting quietly in the room. It had been a long day, and we were all a little tired. Jon turns on the stereo, Iron and Wine comes floating out softly. I finish my cup and curl on the couch, resting my head on Gerards lap, re runs fingers through my hair as he read, lulling me to sleep.

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: "No," I looked at him, "Why can't I wear that?" I pointed to the My Chemical Romance kinda marching parade suit...
Ricochet: "No, that's the guys..."
Tori: "That's sexist!" I folded my arms.
Ricochet: "You're so gullible!" I tossed her the suit, "That's for you," I smiled, "I thought it was nice."
Tori: I held it out at length, raising an eyebrow. It was amazing. It was like a waist coat with tails and skinny jeans. It was amazing! "What are the guys wearing?"
Ricochet: "That," I pointed to it, "That's what they're wearing."
Tori: I nodded, "Cool," I went back and got changed.

[KenzieJo]

(I really loved those outfits...)

Adam: I look around the room, everyones being quite lazy. I frown at the sight. "Are we going to the concert tonight?" I ask, looking at everyone wide eyed. Jon nods, "We've got a little bit." He say, getting up to go to the bed room, "Im going to get ready though." I stand up from my place on the floor, going to my bags piled by the door, grabbing a light blue shirt and pulling it over my head, liking how it contrasts with my dark tattoo. "Well Im ready." I say boredly, laying on my back on the floor, and counting the tiles in the ceiling.

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: "Bon?" I smiled, coming out, I have to say I loved it.
Drew: I whistled, "You look good Tor!" I smiled at her.
Digby: "You two aren't going out anymore," I whispered in his ear.
Tori: I sighed, glad that it covered up the scars; I had a military jacket for that; in black.
Chris: "Okay, let's go," I smiled, picking up the drum sticks.
Tori: I sighed nervously, "Okay then," I quickly checked myself in the mirror and smiled, "You're gonna be fine."

[KenzieJo]

Lisey: Adams jumping out of his skin to get going, I sigh trying to hurry. Adjusting the lavander dress I wore I looked in the mirror, enjoying how it set off the same color in my hair. I pull on a thin brown headband and walk out of the bathroom, seeing Adam grinning madly as he drags me out, the others following along. He always got like this before a show, ours or someone elses, it didn't matter. Adam was passionate.

[OpenTheDoor]

Drew: "Ready?" I repeated, "Hands in the middle! And one!"
Chris: "Flying high, touch the sky. Not gonna stop I tell ya why!"
"Two!"
Ricky: "This ain't your shot this is mine! I ain't gonna stop, ain't passing time!"
"Three!"
Digby: "This is me, this is you, this is just what I love to do!"
"Four!"
Tori: "So just smile and wait awhile, 'cause is where you cry in a pile!"
Drew: "Five! 'Cause this is you, this me, man we rock the Industry!" and wihthat we raised our hands from the middle.
Tori: "Best one yet," I smiled, getting into position as the lights were dim.

Silence broke, the band were in line. The crowd grew tense as the back began to play.

"There were us, there were them. They lived it through to the end. This is Industry!"

The crowd roared as Tori began to strum, the opening song 'Collaspe'

[KenzieJo]

Adam: I let out a loud whistle when they come out, hearing the others laughing and clapping. We were in a sections for the competing bands, one of the best veiws in the house. I could tell why this band made it, they were good to say the least. I smiled as we continued to listen.

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: "Alright guys," I smiled and watched as the others walked off, "I'm gonna go a bit emo on ya now," okay, so I stole that line from Benji, he couldn't sue! Anyway he owes me a drink. I watched as Drew brought on a stool and the acoustic, already plugged in, "I wrote this song a little while back and it means a lot to me. It's a song I wrote about my mother and this really does mean a lot to me," I sat down and adjusted the mic, beginning to strum, waiting to hear Drew on piano and Chris on drums; perfect...

"I'm pacing down, the worn out floor
The beat of your heart, is with me no more
My clenched up fists, my tears do roll
The break in my heart, I'll never feel whole.
I know the fate of God is cruel, I've faced it before
But my words I spoke, no chance for goodbye
My running blood slips to the floor
My torn up wrists, all the dark and gore,"

I sang the first verse, their eyes delving in. Man I wish I had my aviators, then I could close my eyes and pretend to be in the bath...

[KenzieJo]

thats very sad.

Gerard: I listen wide eyed, a small sad smile on my face. She was singing her solo, infront of this crowd, but it was so sad. I leaned forward on the edge if the stage, biting my lip, willing her silently to get through it, she sounded so good.

[OpenTheDoor]

Yeah, I just wrote the whole song now... Tell me what you think at the end/tell me what was wrong etc... Man this is like inkpop!

"I know you're eyes no longer spark
The light they gave could fight off dark
The pieces of you, left in me
Forever they stay, not that you see

The sun may shine another day
The stars might glow for us all to say
'There's another chance tomorrow will bring'
But forever and now, I just wanna sing:
The scars you've left, my blade not as deep
The tears I make, will never fill you're hole
As you've faded from me, heart and soul
I never got to say these heart-felt words
And now it's never but it's never too late

The people, they stare, they no not of what I speak
My fists clench hard, I was never so weak
Should I just say? Get it out of the way?
Should I hold it in, just for one more day?


Cruel words scar, but just skin deep
Death's cut is last, forever within they seep
The pieces of you left in me
Forever there, though you can't see

The sun may shine another day
The stars might glow for us all to say
T
'There's another chance, tomorrow will bring
But now, just now, I need to sing:
T
'The scars you've left, my blade not as deep
The tears I make will never fill your hole
As you've faded from me, heart and soul
I never got to say these heart-felt words
And now it's never, but it's never too late

I never wanted pity, I only wanted grace
I never asked for love as mine is now lost
The touch of loss has always graced me
But the touch of hope, it never did see
The poor little girl, oh how she wept
Her dreams destoyed as slowly she slept
Her wrists bloody, her heart shatter through
And she ever wanted was the reminder of you...

The sun may shine for another day
And the stars might glow for us all, I say
I never wanted pity
I never wanted greed
All I ever wanted
Was Death's release on me...

I closed my eyes at the end as the crowd roared. A lump rose to my throat, but I swallowed it down.
"Thanks," I simply said and stood and waved as Drew did a piano thing. Walking off I say Gerard and smiled, I tried to wave him backstage but I doubt he'd get it though...

[KenzieJo]

that is very sad! but good! Im not really a poet myself, but from my novice veiw its good.

Gerard: I watch her intently as she walks off, clapping and smiling. Our eyes lock and she waves. I take that as a signal to come see her back stage. Though it might have been my own excuse, seeing as it was getting hot and my floral button up and vest didn't do anything to cool me off. I turn to Lisey, getting close so she could hear. "Im gonna head backstage." I say and she just nods, already paying attention to what was going on onstage. I make my way quickly, looking everywhere for Tori.

[OpenTheDoor]

Thanks

Digby: "Blooming hell Tor," I bit my lip, "That was amazing!"
Ricky: "I didn't know that you could sing like that!" I laughed, shaking my head, "To be honest I was doubtful at first,but you really did knock 'em dead!"
Tori: "Thanks," I smiled, looking over their shoulders a a familiar shadow walked past, "Back in a sec," I ran past them and whistled, "Over here!" I waved, smiling my butt off.

[KenzieJo]

Gerard: I turn when I hear her, spotting her flailing hands quickly. With a few quick strides I hug her, before pulling away a tad embarrassed. "You were fantastic." I say, throwing my hands in the air, I move them around a bit, not knowing what to so. "Just... Fantastic!" My glasses become askew on my face, but I don;t notice and just keep grinning like a mad man.

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: "I heard," I smiled, "And thanks, I couldn't have done it without you, seriously," I smiled, "Now if you excuse me, I've still got the other half to do, I'll see you later, yeah?" and with that, I grabbed the Les Paul and walked out, my expression back to it's usual expressionless self, as I walked back out.

Drew: "Thank you!" I waved at the roaring crowd, I pressed down on a few keys, "Okay, so you guys enjoying yourselves?"
The crowd screamed in response as I laughed, "So, this is one of Tori's favourite songs and I have to say it's now one of mine. It was origianlly done and sung by Good Charlotte, Tori's favourite band, and we thought that this was a good song to cover, so," I picked up the guitar I put down, "This is Meet My Maker."

The crowd rumbled: man-made thunder infront of the young band as they played again, they knew this was right.

(Okay, we can skip to after the show if you want now )

[KenzieJo]

(alright... afterparty? )

Gerard: After she left I watched from the sides, enjoying the rest of the show then Met up with the band in the break room. (Jon nursing another fresh brewed coffee). "That was amazing!" Adam says, still feeding off the excitement of the crowd, he talks about everything, from the strong riffs to Tori's solo.

[OpenTheDoor]

Ricochet: "So, I think we can say cheers to another successful show!" I raised a bottle of beer and smiled, "Cheers!"
Ricky: "Now let's get pissed!" I shouted, laughing as the rest of us did the same.
Tori: "Glad to see Ricky's normal," I smiled, "I'll be back in a bit," i swigged from my bottle and went to find Gerard again, "So, enjoy it?" I looked to the rest of the band, carrying another four bottles passing them to them.

[KenzieJo]

Gerard: I smile, "Yeah, its nice." Id never been much of a partier, but this wasn't bad. I scanned the room, jon on the couch sipping a beer, rjust relaxing. Lisey was next to him, talking to someone I didn't recognize, while Adam was already on his second beer, dancing with a few others. "You definately have reason to celebrate, your show went great, and the crowd loved you."

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori: "Thanks, I'm just excited for tomorrow, that's when the competition stars," I smiled, "And y'know what? I probably couldn't have done it without you." I put my beer out, "Cheers!"

[KenzieJo]

Gerard: I laugh and raise my bottle before drinking. "I really didn't do anything." I say, "And Im so nervous for tomorrow, I think Im gonna sing."
