Re: Deadly music

[Charlie]

"Got of the plane and went to the audition." he replied. "So not long."

[OpenTheDoor]

"Really?! That's dedication..." she nodded, walking down the stairs.

[Cali]

Celeste walked off the stage back into the room.

[OpenTheDoor]

"Okay, she's in, now let's go!" he leapt up and ran away, "What?! Endurance test?!"

[Cali]

Celeste's pale rose lips went into a slight pout and curled up into a very faint smile. Her bright blue eyes closed as she let out a held breath. But then she wondered, What the hell is an endurance test?

[OpenTheDoor]

"Right," he nodded, waving at the girl, "Follow me..."
He stood and walked to off of the stage, a little fed up; he was hungry and itching for burgers.

[Cali]

Celeste followed the man, glaring at the back of his head. He's pretty douchie... She thought coldly.

[OpenTheDoor]

"Okay, so, you're the last one to do this and I want burgers so," he walked in, the two Helpers playing 'rock paper scissors', "Oi!"
As he shouted, they scampered off, grabbing the girl's guitar to plug it in to the amp. Will took a seat, crossing his legs and setting a sigh.
"What's the hardest song that you can play?"

[Cali]

Celeste thought for just a moment before answering. " 'Saints and Sinners' by Godsmack." She answered. Okay it wasn't that hard but it was still pretty difficult.

[OpenTheDoor]

"Okay, play that over and over again until you can't anymore," he nodded, "You may begin."
Waving his hand, he took out her file, flicking through to write notes on the front like all the rest.

[Cali]

Celeste smirked and instantly started to play it. "So, do I need to sing too? Cause I can." She said with a grin as she played.

[OpenTheDoor]

"Sure," he nodded, scribbling down a little extra something.
The point of the notes on the front of the folders was so that important info was on the outside whilst the stuff that other people would think was important was on the inside. They didn't need to know about grades and stuff, just how they performed, how long they could last and most importantly: if other people would like them.

[Cali]

When it seemed like the fifth time she started playing the song, she finally sang it. Her voice seemed more strong and powerful, flowing to the rhythm of the music and the melody of her guitar.

Grown from a seed of hope I've never known
Been raised by the surroundings of a home so cold, so cold
If I only knew what I know

I'll shake my fist up to the sky
Just keeping my dreams alive
I'm one part saint and two part sinner,
And the last part is still on the line

We pray even when we know nobody cares, ah ya
And make everything we know turn into fear
And then disappear
If I only knew what I know

I'll shake my fist up to the sky
Just keeping my dreams alive
I'm one part saint and two part sinner,
And the last part is still on the line

I'll shake my fist up to the sky
Just keeping my dreams alive
Im one part saint and two part sinner,
And the last part is still on the line
Ya…. Ya…. Ya….
Eye for an eye they told me for some time
No way to hide from what's inside, what's inside of me!

I'll shake my fist up to the sky
Just keeping my dreams alive
I'm one part saint and two part sinner,
And the last part is still on the line

I'll shake my fist up to the sky
Just keeping my dreams alive
Im one part saint and two part sinner,
And the last part is still on the line

[OpenTheDoor]

Making a tally on the front of the file, he began wondering what was being served for dinner... He was getting too hungry to play around here, plus this girl could go on forever...maybe he could bend the rules slightly?...

[Cali]

Celeste's eyes closed as she played the song by memory. Yeah she could go on for a few hours but it was getting to the point where her muscles were tensing up.

[OpenTheDoor]

Getting bored, Will took out his phone, waiting for this thing to end; he wanted burgers badly...

[Cali]

Celeste finally gave up. It was 3 hours 45 minutes.

[OpenTheDoor]

"Right," he munched on his fourteenth burger of the night, "That was a little too long as the song was too easy... Hard to place you because of that..." he looked at the various tally marks on the file, "I'll call it a draw between you and another girl. She did two and three quaters of an hour but she did a much harder song..."
He scribbled down a huge number on the front before the Helpers unplugged the lead; her signal to leave.

[Cali]

Celeste's eyes darkened as she left.

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori sighed, sitting in the halls again; she couldn't sleep due to her arm being too tense and swollen. It must have doubled in size at least, all for two and three quarters of an hours worth of Dragon Force. Was it worth it? Yeah, but she was feeling it quite badly now.
"Tori, you're gonna get yourself killed one day, no matter how you think of it..." shaking her head, she fumbled around in her pockets to try and find something.

[Charlie]

"Really?! That's dedication..." she nodded, walking down the stairs.

Liam laughed, "NO, that is called your parents don't want you." He looked down, "I hate performing, in fact, i only sang in the shower, and played when my parents weren't home, so they couldn't do this." He paused, "It failed obviously. I just didn't want to be another Irish singer, guitar player, songwriter. Its done quite a bit."

[Cali]

As Celeste she bumped into a guy. She brushed passed him, muttering a 'sorry' to him as she walked on.

[OpenTheDoor]

Tori raised a brow, trying not to relaiate too heavily.
"Liam, you're an amazing performer, maybe need a bit a little work on stage presense because you do look awkward on stage at times, but you're still amazing, and not just another Irish singer, guitarist, songwriter. Your voice goes bloody low, something I've never heard of in my seventeen years of walking this globe."
She gingerly placed a hand on his shoulder, not really knowing is he would shove off of not. If he did, it didn't really matter...okay, that was a lie but she couldn't do a thing about low self confidence on stage; she still suffered from it, it was just that she had a bit of cover when in a band, at the auditions she played a song she knew perfectly well and in the endurance test she was alone in a back room with that Will guy and the Helpers.
"Parents can suck, the main reason I came here was to get away from my dad, otherwise I would still be at home facing the wrath of my step-mum to-be and her daughter. Either way, I was glad to get out of there... Oh! And in case you haven't noticed: there aren't any great musicians lately, the talents rare now and I got my music tastes from my grandma, who has the same name as me, cool eh?"
With that, she did a little skip before leaping off of the top of the stairs in a High School Musical 59 fashion.
HSM was released at the beginning of the century and was still going somehow...

[Charlie]

Liam blushed slightly, and slid down the banister. "I think you're being a bit to nice." He said looking at the two fresh scabs on his pinky and ring fingers.

[OpenTheDoor]

"There's no such thing as being too nice Liam," she tutted before almost falling down the steps from being overly preppy.
Clicking her neck, she tried again successfully before bashing the doors open, announcing her thereity...that she was there, but no one else was.

[Charlie]

Liam landed with a little hop at the bottom of the stairs. "Thanks." He said.
