Realistic or Modern A Camp for Musicians

[shygirl3]

Allison was super absorbed into her music. As she played she thought she heard someone sing along, but she wasn't entirely sure. She lowered her voice and playing, slightly self conscious. Once she had a suspicion that someone was listening it was hard for her to sing and play normally. Just as she was about to finish the song there was a loud knocking on her door, causing her to jump and she hit the wrong key. "oops..." she whispered. Ally cautiously walked to the door. She had no idea what to expect on the other side of this door. She took a deep breath and opened her cabin door to reveal a girl standing there.


There was a girl with long dark hair, who clearly was the 'pretty type' that Ally couldn't compete with. She looked at the new girl with a curious glance, "um, hi" Ally said softly, unsure how to greet a complete stranger that had just shown up on her doorstep. Maybe she needed help like Ally had asked Austin for before, but it's not like Ally could be of any assistance in moving anything, she was slender with little to no muscle. Or maybe she was just looking for a friend, Allison wondered to herself. No, that couldn't be it. Why would she come to my cabin if she wanted a friend. There were plenty of other girls that were probably more suitable friends than Ally. She shook her negative thoughts and glanced back at the girl, waiting for an explanation as to why she was at her door.

Kyungsoo. This guy was definitely Korean, if his looks and accent didn't highlight it enough. And his voice isn't half-bad. Reminded him of some idol trainee friends of his sisters. He'd have to get to know this guy further some time, but for now, there was an apology rap to be versed. "Alright, then. Don't expect it to be anything special, 'cause you know, you asked for this rather suddenly," he remarked before clearing his throat and starting off his rap.


"Eodukeomkeomhan gotongui geuneul wi ibyeorui munteoge naega muchamhi Neomeojyeodo geumajeodo neol wihaeseoramyeon gamdanghal teni uh, daesin nareul julge birok nal moreuneun neoege, dont cry, tteugeoun nunmulbodan chadichan useumeul boyeojwo baby..."

Topaz stood inbetween the two boys, watching their interaction with curiosity. This wasn't normal was it? In all her years in the public school system people didn't just sing or rap to each other to solve a problem. Once again Topaz reminded herself that she was at a music camp. That this behavior was probably normal. When Kyungsoo opened his mouth to sing she was slightly memorized. His tone and pitch were perfect and he seemed to know what he was doing. She was slightly jealous over that fact that he could sing but she didn't let it get to her. She was quite happy with her talents. When he finished she gave a small clap. "Oh that was amazing!" She raved before turning her attention to the other. He seemed rather iffy about it all but she didn't really blame him,


"Oh is this really all nece-" Her small voice was was cut off by the male starting his rap. Paz's eyes went wide and she almost dropped her parasol. Not only was he rapping, but he was doing it in another language. "Oh my... I feel worthless now." She mumbled mostly to herself as she stared at the ground with a pout on her face. She wanted to join in on the fun of showing off, but neither one of her two instruments were convenient when it came to carrying them around.

He smiles at Topaz, "Thank you, but I'm not that good. haha." Kyungsoo ran his hands through his hair to get it out of his eyes. The struggle is real. He then takes out a hair clip and clips his bangs back.


"Just go ahead," he motioned at Terry to start, "I'm not expecting anything until you start." He stood there listening to the rap. It's so good. And despite that, it's in his native language, so Kyungsoo really enjoyed it. He claps a little bit, "That was good. Topaz, what do you do?"


@Halcyon @Lazy Rocktime

Spoiler

 

[lazee]

Taking in a deep breath after that round of verses, his lips curved into a large grin of pride. "Thanks. I don't usually rap in Korean, but you're an exception," he snidely said to the blunette.


Then, his attention turned towards the cutely petite girl, whose name he has yet to learn. Soon, he hopes. "That's a good question, everyone here is obviously talented at something. What's yours?" He could see that the lass looked a bit down. Maybe she felt inferior compared to him and Blue Head Kyungsoo? Hopefully he could shake off that feel.

Eve watched as Leandra came back in and listened silently to what she said. Frowning a bit, she looked around before handing him his shirt back. "You can use this to bite down on," she said softly before trying to remember something her dad had told her. Despite wanting to help and having seen it done multiple times, watching someone's limbs move in awkward ways always creeped her out. She backed away and leaned against the window as she kept her head down and began quietly humming a nursery rhyme that always calmed her down.

 

[Halcyon]

Topaz looked back up as both the males questioned her talent. It seemed though they were just asking to make her feel included but after analyazing it some more she decided they were actually interested. "I can't sing obviously. I'm much too quiet so i just don't do it. But I play the drums and cello. I'm more of a prodigy on the drums though, however, i love making up melodies on the cello." She explained herself, slightly rambling. The girl push a strand of hair from her face and she cocked her head, thinking.


"Do you guys maybe want to see? It's fine if you don't though." She suggest, a glimmer of hope set in her blue grey hues. Honestly she was super excited to show someone her talents. The talents that got her here. The talents that made her heel slightly normal. That... and she wanted to get inside and put some aloe on her burnt face.


@Ophiel @Lazy Rocktime

 

[Ophiel]

Kyungsoo listens intentively at what Topaz says about her instruments and wha tshe could do with them. "So you mostly play drums? That's a good talent, it's really hard for me." He thinks about the failed attempts at playing drums, and how hard he tried. But it's obviously not his forte.


His eyes lit up when she asked if he wanted to hear. Of course he did. Watching people play big instruments was a great way to relax. So much talent, strength, and swiftness.

"Alright fine, fine" Greyson replied to Evelisse. He ripped the Icy Hot patch off and shot it right into the trashcan as Eve made her way off to the side.


"I've been injured a lot. Never thought that this was that serious" Greyson explained to Leandra before adjusting the form of his shirt. All that Greyson heard from Leandra was the word "pain". Pain, pain, and pain. This was one of the most unique intros he ever had with anyone else. It was also one of the most helpful ones.


The teen paused for a few moments, ". . . Kay, let's get this over with. Do I lie down, stand, stay seated or?"


@Lexie @Lioness075

 

[Lioness075]

Leandra curiously watched Eve wander off and then begin humming to herself, but decided to let the girl be for now. She probably wasn't too keen on seeing what Leandra was about to do.


Shifting her attention back to Greyson, Leandra then replied to his question, "You can stay seated, but keep biting into that shirt. This isn't going to feel good at all."


Once Leandra was satisfied that Greyson was biting into his shirt, she gently clasped his wrist while placing her other hand on Greyson's elbow, maneuvering his arm into a ninety-degree angle. Once it was set, she then began the painstakingly slow and painful process of moving Greyson's arm and shoulder joint around to get it back into place. This whole process would take about ten minutes if Leandra was successful, which she was confident that she would be.


@Lexie @RyanJXavier

 

[RyanJXavier]

Oh Jesus. Greyson thought to himself as he bit down on his shirt. He felt Leandra begin to move his arm around and press down this shoulder area. Make no noise. His voice sounded out through his head. There was a lot of pain surging through him at that moment. Greyson was never really one to scream so he just shut his eyes as if it was going to help keep him silent.


This is the longest. Ow. Most painful. Ow. Thing ever. His thoughts continued to run through his mind before he accidentally let out a moan. Ah shut up, Grey! He thought to himself before returning to silence once again.


@Lioness075 @Lexie

 

[lazee]

The drums, eh? He never would've guessed her to be proficient at such robust instruments. Her walk, talk and style differed someone who was good with the piano or violin. Regardless, Terry was itching to see her play, if only so she could be in her 'zone'.


"Of course, I'd love to see you play!" he cheerfully exclaimed to Paz. "We'd love to see you play. Right, Kyungsoo-ah?"


@Ophiel @Halcyon

 

[Ophiel]

"Ah? Y-yes, of course." He stopped thinking and remembered to actually say he wants to hear her. "Sorry, yes." He nods at Terry and Topaz.


He wonders what else Terry does. Topaz plays drum and cello, but doesn't seem to sing. Kyungsoo plays piano and sings. Although they only know he sings right now. So what else does Terry do besides rap?


@Halcyon @Lazy Rocktime

 

[Halcyon]

Topaz's emotionless face looked back an forth between the two boys. She took a few second to decide the were being serious before breaking out into a small grin. "Okay. Alright. Lets go." She smiled, turning on her heels and making her way back to the cabin she currently resided in. Once she was there she opened the door, letting the AC, which she kept at a chilly 60 degrees, hit them with cold air. Paz let out a satisfying sigh as she placed her parasol in a basket by the door that houses 5 other ones. She then removed her glasses, placing them on top of her head.


"Shoes off please. And use that hand sanitizes over there before you touch anything. I need to change just real quick cause this dirt is bugging me." She explained, sitting on a chair by the door as she took off her heels. After she was done she stood up, revealing her true height of 5'1. Seven inch heels may have made her seem like she was normal height but she was far from it. With that she trotted off towards the cabins bedroom. Before she entered she turned back to them. "One of you guys can pick any song. It doesn't matter. Just when you pick one play it on laptop on the surround sound system over there." She motioned to the large speakers and such that was all connected to a laptop. "The password in drums... all lower case." She then went into her bedroom, waiting for the music to start playing. That was her talent. Of course she can sight read a piece and play it perfectly on the cello, but with the drums all she had to do was listen to the song once and she had it.


@Ophiel @Lazy Rocktime

 

[Ophiel]

He followed Topaz happily, excited to see that innocent girl there play drums. She must have some serious skill. He shivers a little at the sudden cold air that hit him. He's not comfortable in cold areas, but this is something he can manage. He walks in.


Kyungsoo follows her directions and takes off his platform shoes, also revealing his true height. he's not that short, but he's short for a guy. Guys are normally around 6 ft. right? He's not far behind, like 5'6" or so.


He looks at Terry, "Do you want to pick?" There are so many songs he wants to play on those sweet speakers, but there's too many to pick just one.


@Halcyon @Lazy Rocktime

 

[lazee]

He tagged behind his newfound friends with slow and laid-back steps, his hands tucked in his pockets. They seemed like really good people and he was glad he he met them. This is as good of a start as I'm gonna get, he remarked. Upon reaching her cabin, he let out a small sigh of relief when the cold air hits him. It was a godsend at this time of the year. When he heard the girl's instructions to wash his hands and remove his shoes, which he of course obeyed, he wondered about her nature. A demand for hygiene is by no means out of the ordinary, but she did look quite upset when she fell to the ground upon hitting him. Either way, it isn't of much consequence to him. Cleanliness is godliness, after all. He took a seat in the chair that Paz sat in just a few moments ago.


He turned to Kyungsoo to answer his question. "Uh, I don't know. I ain't much of a picker. You go ahead," he told him.


@Ophiel @Halcyon

 

[Ophiel]

He shrugs and hugs himself, rubbing on his arms. "I don't know. I can't just pick one thing..." He goes over to the computer and types in the password, he immediately goes to youtube. "I really don't know." He rubs his arms again and blows hot air onto his hands. This is like winter temperature to him, he likes warmer weather best.


He sits down on the ground in front of the computer to think a little. A korean or english song? He likes a lot of different types. "Nothing is coming up clear in my head." He rubs his arms again, "What's your favorite? Or what comes to mind?"


@Halcyon @Lazy Rocktime

 

[lazee]

Terry found it funny, the way Kyungsoo acted in the cold room. It wasn't even that cold to him. Thinking up a suitable song for Topaz to play, he had to really consider. A loud and upbeat rock song? It would highlight her skill, sure, but Terry wasn't sure if it was all appropriate. Eh, screw it. Let's let the prodigy shine, he thought to himself, his lips curving into a subtle smirk. He got off of his chair and went towards Kyungsoo and the laptop.


"Oh, good. You're already on YouTube. Aight, search up



," he commanded. He's heard the song several times before and he was confident that she could pull it off. Hope for the best, I guess.



@Halcyon @Ophiel

 

[AviouslyPTX]

Evelisse continued humming softly to herself as she tensed up at the sound of the bones scraping across themselves and popping. She felt her legs get weak so she decided to sit down on the ground and cover her ears as she began to sing softly. She pulled her knees close to her as she kept her eyes closed, trying to hold it together.


@RyanJXavier @Lioness075

 

[Lioness075]

Eight minutes later, Leandra finally heard the satisfying popping sound of the shoulder being put back into place. She'd heard Greyson's moaning, but had refrained from saying anything, as she'd been primarily focused on getting his arm fixed and sorted out. Keeping Greyson's arm in her grip since he'd most likely be weak after all of that, Leandra then furrowed her brows and looked at Greyson's face before softly asking him, "How're you holding up, Grey?" Without thinking twice about it, Leandra had shortened his name. While waiting for his response, Leandra kept his arm up while using her other free hand to pull her medical kit closer to her and then retrieved a wrap from the kit. Eyeing Greyson warily, Leandra then said in a gentle tone, "I'm going to wrap your shoulder now. You're going to need to use that sling for at least one day though." Carefully, Leandra then began to tightly wrap Greyson's shoulder, wrapping it around his upper chest for stability while also wrapping the shoulder itself and Greyson's bicep. He'd probably need the sling for the first day or so, though it'd entirely depend on how much pain he was in.


@RyanJXavier @Lexie

 

[Ophiel]

He is surprised that Terry suddenly came over near him. This punk could've just said it from where he was. "I don't think I've heard this yet." He types in the name of the song and the band, bery curious as to what this could be. He presses the enter button and a lot of videos come up.


"Which one?" He looks at Terry for guidance on this. "There's a lot of them." Wow. "If you could just.." Never noticed how beautiful his eyes are, "..help?" Not now! He turns to the screen as quick as he can. Being this close to someone, physically, is very new to him. He normally stays at least a foot away, but this is within one foot.


@Halcyon @Lazy Rocktime

 

[lazee]

He couldve clicked any one of them and they'd all sound the same. Well, to him anyway. "Usually the official music video strikes a clearer note. Try this one at the top of the search results," he advised with a smirk."It's usually the best, no?"


@Halcyon @Ophiel

 

[RyanJXavier]

" . . . I just died, Leandra" Greyson said quietly in a tired manner. "Thanks for doing this" He added looking at her then smiling a bit. Dislocating a shoulder should be everyone's worse nightmare. There was still so much pain in that sensitive area that it felt as if his shoulder had been cut off. "How long do I need to be careful about this right shoulder?" The teen asked Leandra before glancing at Evelisse. Greyson lowered his voice down so that only Leandra could hear him, "Should we tell her that it's over? Can we please scare her?"


@Lioness075 @Lexie

 

[Ophiel]

He clicks the first video on the search results. The thumbnail looks good. "Ok, I got it." He keeps his eyes glued to the screen and the video playing. The music starts playing and Kyungsoo smiles. "I like this." He listens to the lyrics as best he can, still watching the video.


@Halcyon @Lazy Rocktime


((sorry for the short post, I'm looking for something ;-; ))

 

[Halcyon]

Topaz was in her room slipping on a sweater when the music started. Right then see closed her eyes, listening closely identified the tempo and which parts of the drums were used. It was mainly snare and high-hat with some floor tom-tom every once in a while. The beat was easy enough to remember how many times it was played before moving ontop the slightly altered beat and then back to the original.


Topaz pulled up her legging and slipped on her socks, placing the dirty clothes into the laundry basket. She then took air disinfectant and sprayed it over the basket. Before exiting the room she grabbed her drum sticks. As the song ended she walked over to the computer. "Lovely choice." She nodded before pulling up her music program. She quickly downloaded the song and fiddled with it enough to take out the drums in the background. Now it was just the vocals and the other instruments. She was doing this all on her own. She put on the 30 second timer before heading to the drum set, rolling up her sweater sleeves.. She looked tiny compared to the thing. Totally out of place. But as soon as the music started she was on beat, starting it off with a symbol roll. She then transitioned into the high-top snare high-hat snare snare snare rhythm. Within seconds she did another cymbal roll and was back onto the main beat. Every once in a while, at exactly the right spots she would give the floor tom-tom a few taps before moving her focus back over to the snare


She ended the song banging her drumsticks on the ride cymbal and crash cymbal together. She let the echo fade before looking up, sweat beading down her temple slightly and her baby hairs sticking to the back of her neck. She pushed back her bangs and let out a shaky laugh. "Sorry if it wasn't good enough. I don't think i missed any of the notes, but i could be wrong." She shrugged, swiveling in her chair.
