Life in a Band

Ok! :) We will start at band rehearsal. Everyone just introduce your charries by bringing them to rehearsal. If you are a Manager this rehearsal may be the time to tell the band about any upcoming events you might have planned or whatnot. When Rehearsals are and such are up to the Managers except this one of course. Alrighty! :) I think that's everything! (Note it's Satuday and it's early fall) (Oh yes and this roleplay takes place in Malibu,California)(And songwriter this is also your opportunity at rehearsal to introduce a song you may have written)


Abby woke up bright and early. She had her rehearsal today and she was very serious about her band and was never late for rehearsals. She was listening and singing along to music on Pandora as she searched through her closet for something to wear. She must have changed her outfit a thousand times before finally deciding on a pair of ripped,jean, high rise, short-shorts, a white spaghetti straped crop top that she had tucked in, a blue beanie, and a pair of blue and white converse. She was finally satisfied. She then looked around her room, which now looked like a distaster. Her clothes were thrown across the floor and her bed. She just shrugged and walked over to her vanity to put on a little makeup. Once she was finished, She grabbed her phone, Ipod, and her cookie monster mini backpack and headed out of her room.


She shouted and knocked on her brothers door 5 times then walked towards the kitchen. This was her normal routine and 5 knocks seemed to always wake her brother up who, unlike her, did not care so much about being late for rehearsal. Well he didn't care about being late for anything really. Abby, who was still listening to music but now had earbuds in, fixed herself some fruity pebbles, sat down on the couch, and started watching saturday cartoons.



Jake nearly fell out of bed frightened by the knocking on his door. He sighed. He finally realized that it was just his sister. He rolled his eyes and groaned. Then he climbed out of bed, rubbing his sleepy eyes at the same time. He picked up his phone from the nightstand next to his bed to text his beautiful girlfriend Samantha. ~Good mourning beautiful ;) ~ Read the text. He hit send and then tossed his phone on his bed. Then he walked over to find something to wear. He was so messy he could barely figure out what was clean and what was dirty. He finally decided to throw on a black tank, white b-ball shorts, a pair of white and black Jordans, and a white snapback that had a black rim. He winked at himself in the mirror. Then finished getting ready like brushing his teeth and stuff before grabbing his phone and sliding it in his shorts pocket. He then headed out of his room.


He walked in to his sister laughing at Spongebob. He smiled and walked into the kitchen to find something to eat. He just decided to eat a bowl of Coco Puffs. He joined his sister on the opposite couch and they watched cartoons.





Once they had both finished eating, they were ready to head to rehearsal. Abby turned the tv off and then grabbed her skateboard. "Meet ya there!" She called out before hopping on her skateboard and riding to the abandoned warehouse that they rehearsed at or sometimes just hung out. Once she got there she realized she was the first one she didn't mind but she couldn't wait to see everyone else.






Jake watched his sister leave and then he left shortly after. He decided to just drive to rehearsal today. This way if Sammy wants to maybe hanf out afterwards he would already have a car. He drove listening to the radio on the way there. He pulled up at Sammy's house and waited for her to finish. He texted her letting her know he was out here to pick her up but she can take her time and get ready. He then sat sat back and let the hood of his black convertible camaro down, enjoying the breeze and listening to the music on the radio.

Samantha smiled as she rolled over in her bed, what a good night's rest. She was always so happy when she woke up, until she looked at the time. "Ugh. Eight o'clock." She mumbled as she stuffed her face into a pillow as fell back asleep. She stretched herself before she actually went back to sleep. Sam pulled her thick, dark hair out of her face, and pulled the blankets over herself once again.


It had been a good hour when she felt her bed vibrate with a text from her amazingly wonderful boyfriend, Jake. She smiled at the first words of the day, and quickly sent her reply.
Morning <3 with a dazed smile, and a small sigh. She finally saw the time, running out of the bed, into the kitchen, and grabbed a bowl of Froot Loops. Sam ate them happily, enjoying her day so far, and wa pumped for reversals. She finished off her breakfast, running back to her room, grabbing her clothes, her phone, and a few other items. She made her way into the bathroom, and got her makeup on. She looked at the white t-shirt, khaki shorts, red and white snapback, and her beloved Jordan's.


No sooner did she finish her make up and clothes, did she receive a text from Jake again. She replied with a
I'm coming out and pushed her phone into her back pocket. Sam walked out of the front door, and smiled as she closed it behind her. Sam smiled, seeing Jake, and walked over to him. "Hey hot stuff." She smirked, and slid up to the hood to wrap her arms around Jake, hug, and kiss his cheek.
 
Mir yawned, lazily rolling out of bed. Her body was sore from last night's mosh pit, her muscles sore and her skin bruised. Leathermouth always had a great most pit or death wall going. Stumbling to the bathroom, she brushed her teeth and tried not to choke on toothpaste foam while she yawned. The rocker ruffled her messy curls, trying to comb her fingers through the knots. She had taken a shower before sleeping, leaving her with sever bed head. Grabbing a brush, she gently brushed her black and blue locks.


Once the knots were out, she stripped lazily. Looking through her closet, she decided on black jeans and a cut off Iron Maiden shirt and pulled them on. Lacing up her combat boots, she felt the steel heels. They could do major damage in a fight, she thought aimlessly. Messily, Mir applied her usual makeup-- black and blue eyes, nude lips, and one white contact concealing a beautiful green iris (eau de Marilyn Manson). Poking a bruise idly, she giggled and headed to the kitchenette in her apartment. Food was important before practice. They didn't take breaks once they got started.


Grabbing a bagel and smothering some cream cheese on it with her fingers, she headed for the door. Grabbing her bass and messenger bag on the way, she hummed to herself as she walked down the street. The practice studio wasn't too far from her apartment complex, thank the Gods. Smiling at strangers and waving to kids, she did vocal warm ups until she reached the practice station. It wasn't much. It could even be considered unassuming or small or dinky. But it was their own.


Stepping inside, Mir smiled when she spotted her friends. She couldn't help by giggle silently at how cute they were. Waving lazily, she rubbed her bruised cheek. "Hey dudes. G'morning. I've got this idea for a song. I have all the tabs written out and stuff for Thursday. Did you guys sleep well, my dears?"
 
(@Coedy I love her outfit so much! And @Mir Lee I love how descriptive you were! I liked both of you guys post! Yay I'm sure I am going to enjoy Role playing with you guys! We are waiting on a few more people to post and once they do I will post again. I just want everyone to get a chance to post first! :) )
 
(Working on my post! Sorry, I've been super busy...) 
Spencer woke up to the familiar sound of "Do I Wanna Know?" by Arctic Monkeys being blasted from her alarm. She groaned, stretching her long, pale arms. She lazily brushed her jet black hair out of her eyes, got up, and headed to her closet. She had quite the closet, with an array of shirts and drawers full of just jeans. In the end, she went with a Green Lantern T-shirt and a pair of ripped black skinny jeans. Spencer was pretty tired this morning, considering she had plaid a rough game of Football with her brothers the night before. Her head and body ached with every step, but she wouldn't miss a rehearsal for the world. It was her favorite part of being in the band. Yeah, gigs were great. They got the adrenaline pumping, but rehearsal was even better. There she could mess around with the other members, goof off, and just play whatever she felt like playing. The band was her family, and spending time with them was her number one priority.


Heading into the kitchen, she searched the cabinets hungrily. Sooner or later, she came out eating a Jimmy Dean breakfast croissant and a cup of yogurt. Right before she took her next bite, she noticed the time. 'S**t!' She thought, throwing away the remains of her breakfast, then struggling to put on a pair of green converse. She hurriedly grabbed her tote bag an headed out the door in a hurry.


Spencer nearly ran down the street to where the rehearsal was being held. She bumped into a number of people, fighting her way through the morning crowd. Finally she made it to the rehearsal building, just on time. "Hey guys!" She said, slightly out of breath.


(Sorry. I'm terrible at beginning posts! D:)
 
(Oh no don't worry about it lol just happy u posted now we are just waited for two more to post and we can get this show on the road lol )
 
Lucas was in his paper covered bed sound asleep.He worked all night trying to put together the bands tour in a couple of weeks.His alarm went off right next to his ear causing him to fall off the bed hard.He rubbed his head then got up and gathered all the papers that was scattered on his bed.He sighed and sat the huge pile on his desk top then straightened up his bed and other things around his room."Another day another huge pile of papers"he said to himself as he entered the bathroom.He brushed his teeth and entered the walk In shower he had and took a long warm one.Once he finish he turned off the water and stepped in front of the now fog filled mirror that was a little to big for him but,he didn't mind to much.He hummed lightly and wiped it away then fixed his hair and walked back out into his bedroom.


Lucas practically raided his closet trying to find an outfit for him to wea and as you can see he hasn't had much success in that.After about six minutes of that he finally found it and slipped on the full
outfit then ran downstairs and grabbed his phone,wallet,and tot bag which hung over his shoulder.He ran back upstairs and grabbed his folder then went outside and hoped I side his car then drive to the studio.He parked his car in the reserved spot then walked inside"Hey guys."he said to the band members and sighed heavily as he plopped down into one of the chairs provided
 
(I'm here! Sorry for making you guys wait. I've been a bit busy..)


Chloe woke up pretty late. It was around 9:00 P.M when she woke up. She looked at her alarm clock and realized that it had never been set. "Dammit." She muttered to herself and ran to her bathroom, dressing for the day.






<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_09/pink.jpg.a9c84243c409efe8dded9d178f2ed0a0.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="6640" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_09/pink.jpg.a9c84243c409efe8dded9d178f2ed0a0.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>


After popping on her earrings and pulling on her bracelets, she grabbed her sunglasses and ran out to her car. It was a white Ferrari Enzo that her parents had given her recently. After making sure she had everything, she drove over to the rehearsal. Chloe parked in her usual spot and ran out of her car, opening the door to see everybody there. "Hey guys." She said, closing the door behind her.


Cameron walked out of his bedroom groggily after a bad night's sleep. He pulled on some casual clothes and went down for breakfast.



<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_09/57a8be290fe48_boy1.jpg.64823f7d624ca0b60717f66e9c449abd.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="6643" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_09/57a8be290fe48_boy1.jpg.64823f7d624ca0b60717f66e9c449abd.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>



After making himself some bacon and eggs, he ran out to his black BMW convertible and made sure he had everything. He then opened the hood of the car and smiled as the sun hit his face. Cameron pulled on his sunglasses and drove to the place, parking in his usual spot. After getting his bag out, he walked to the door, and opened it. "Guess who's here?"



Nathan woke up at 9:30 and freaked out, falling out of bed. He made himself some tea and while the water was boiling, he ran upstairs again to get his clothes on.



<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_09/57a8be291253c_boy2.jpg.112ade674c730a81d66baad0f1518c3a.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="6644" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2013_09/57a8be291253c_boy2.jpg.112ade674c730a81d66baad0f1518c3a.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>



After throwing his Converse bag over his shoulder, he put his tea in a thermos and ran outside, into his black Mercedes-Benz. When he got to the rehearsal he parked and walked inside, putting his stuff down "Hello everyone." He said calmly and quietly.

Jake smiled when he saw his girlfriend come out of the house. She looked hot as always. He smiled when she hopped in the car and kissed him. "Hey!" He said with a wink before turning to her favorite song on his Iphone. It blasted through the radio as he drove down the street to the warehouse. Once he got there he got and opened to door for Sam.


Abby smiled as the others arrived. She saw Mir who was a killer bass for the band but she had heard Mir play the guitar parts too and she was pretty good. Mir was also a killer vocalist like herself which is why they were pretty close. They practiced together alot aside from the fact they were totally different in character, they were pretty good friends. That was the same with most of the people in the band. Abby smiled as Mir said she had an idea for a song. "Alrighty! let's check it out" she said going over to sit next to her.


The next person she noticed arrive was Spencer. Spencer played Keyboard and was really good at it. Abby was in awe of Spencer's style. Once again it was different than her own but it was still pretty cool. "Hey!" She said to her. She looked out of breath. She must have been in a hurry, Abby concluded.



Lucas came in next. He was one of their managers and Abby respected him alot but he acted like one of them half the time. They would goof off together and what not but he was still very serious about the band. Abby appreciated that about him. He actually cared about the band. "Hey she said back to him with a warm smile as he plopped down in a seat.



Chloe then arrived. Abby beamed and bounced up running towards her friend. Chloe was by far Abby's best friend. They had been best friends for god knows how long! Honestly out of everyone in the band she was the closet and most relatible person. Although she wasn't actually in the band and she was just a choreographer, she still was just as part of the band as everyone else. "Loves your outfit!" She said smiling and looking her over as if expecting it for mistakes. Chloe always had stylish clothes and she loved that about her.



Then Cameron arrived. Oh Cameron. She blushed slightly. She had a huge crush on Cameron and she wasn't sure if he liked her back. He was the songwriter for the band and he was good at it too. " Heyy Cam!" She said smiling and waving at him. Then she turned to look at Chloe. Chloe was the only person who knew she liked Cam. She trusted Chloe not to tell her brother, who would only freak!



Next, Nathan walked in. He calmly took a seat and said hey to everyone. She warmily returned the hey. He was the other manager and he was just as great as the other manager. He was also totes cute but she of course didn't have any feelings for him. At least she didn't think she did.



Finally her brother walked in with Sammy. Typical for her brother to be the last to arrive even tho they gad finished getting ready at about the same time. She rolled her eyes. She smiled at his girlfriend Sammy who was also their drummer. She was a killer drummer she had to admit. Sammy was her other best friend. They just weren't as close as her and Chloe. Afterall she was dating her brother, which in itself is weird.



After everyone was finally there, Abby smiled. "Let's get this party started!" She shouted



(Ok so songwriter @Lori Williams, This is your time to tell us if you have a new song you would like us to rehearse. @Mir Lee This is your chance to introduce your song that you made. Or managers you can speak too or anyone else!
:) )
 
Chloe smiled. "Thanks. So, you ready for the new choreography that I planned at home?" She asked smiling widely. She had planned it all night and she was ready to show them all her ideas.


Cameron walked in and saw Abby. He flashed a charming smile at her and walked over to the band. Abby was about, no she was 4 years younger than him, and he did secretly feel 'feelings' for her, but she was so young, still so innocent. He didn't want to hurt her. "I've got some plans for our band so brace yourselves." he said and smiled, continuing to talk.



Nathan got some sheets out and started to study them. it was some music that he had written for months now and he hoped it was good enough for the band. "Hey, d'ya think this is okay?" He asked, and handed a copy out for everyone. It was a pretty summery song and he was 99.999% sure that it would be a success.
 
(It's okay if you wanna keep it this way cuz I accidentally followed along too (: And it would be cool cuz he's like 20 and she's like 16 and he's kinda a player so it would be fun to play this through!)
 
Mir grinned and waved at Abby as she plopped onto the creme coloured sofa that sat in their practice area. Sitting her case at her feet, she undid the latches and pulled out her black Fender four-string bass. Attaching the shoulder strap, which was decorated with blood splatters and stricken-through zeros, she slipped it over her shoulder and sat the bass in her lap. Wincing when it landed on a bruise, she tried to re-position it to accommodate her bruised body to no avail. Getting a foothold on the task at hand, she looked up with excited mismatched eyes.


Sometimes, she felt so out of place in the band. The others were all so well dressed and beautiful. Compared to their fashion senses, she stuck out like a sore thumb. Even her style of music differed from the others. Mir was in love with the classic side of rock-- Pantera, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath-- as well as the heavy, dark, homicidal part of punk rock-- Black Flag, The Misfits, Leathermouth, My Chemical Romance, Kitty, and the Donnas. Her playing was emotional and heartfelt and her lyrics were dark and always honest. Coupled with a jazzy voice and a scream that could make ever head in an arena snap to watch, she felt undeniably out of place in a group of beautiful people.


Shaking herself from thought, Mir looked up. "The name of the song it Blame it on the DNA. It's a pretty simple riff for guitar, until the solo. There's a bass feature in the verses, and split vocals in the last chorus. The topic of the lyrics is about not turning out like everyone expected you to. You just... blame it on the DNA." Digging the sheets of paper from her case, she handed them to Abby to look over while she looked over what Nathan was handing out. It was written in her perfect scrawl.


"[intro:] I can tell that you're suspicious


I make you feel on edge


It's more than the clothes I wear



Or the f*cked up things I said



[Verse 1:] I'm wired a little different



I'm an anomaly



The shrinks all shake their heads and say: "Must be heredity"


But I won't apologize for what my father gave me!


[Hook:] You can call me a freak



Call me strange,



My whole family is deranged



Think I'm a loser, weird and bizarre


It's the way I was born


We are who we are



[Chor:] C'mon and say!



Hey hey, hey hey



It's okay



Blame it on the DNA



Hey hey, hey hey



It's okay



Blame it on the DNA!



[Verse 2:] Magnify all my flaws if it makes you feel good



I'm happy bein' twisted; always misunderstood



I want a path that works with my philosophy



No, I won't apologize for what my momma gave me!



[bridge:]



[Chor:]



(Solo)



[bridge:] I'm strange and you're strange



It's okay... blame it on the DNA



I'm deranged, you're deranged



It's okay... blame it on the DNA



Well, I'm strange, and you're strange



Don't change!



Blame it on the DNA



[Chor:]



We're strange and deranged



It's okay! Blame it on the DNA (x2)"

After finally catching her breath, Spencer took her place near the keyboard. She sighed, sorting through her bag for her Green Tea. She popped the top, took a few sips, and set it back down beside her. She smiled at the ground as she saw Lucas walk into the room. Yeah... She would never admit it, but she had a crush on Lucas, although she laughed at herself knowing he would never feel the same way. She shook her head, the dimples in her cheeks fading. Spencer nodded a 'Thank You' gesture as the music was passed out. She looked over the notes, floating her hands over the keys as she analyzed the pieces. 'Nothing to challenging' She thought.


Spencer was tired this morning, and she didn't exactly feel like messing around, although she knew by some-point in the rehearsal she would find some mischief to get into. Getting into mischief and playing around was basically her job. It wasn't anything too big, but just silly stuff, like hiding music, bursting out with random comments, making jokes under her breath with another member, unplugging the Bass... Just things like that. Spencer smiled, not exactly paying attention. She was looking over at Lucas, admiring him from "Afar" (Even though they were in the same room...).
 
(Lol yes! My god I am making lots of mix ups! @Lori Williams)


Abby smiled at Chloe. "More than ready!" Abby loved learning Chloe's new moves. Chloe was such a great dancer. She wish she was that good. Abby looked at Cameron as he spoke. Ok maybe he was a little too old for her but he was just so down right cute and he had an amazing personality. She took the sheet from Nathan snapping out of her transe. "Thank!" She said politely. Then Mir handed her a sheet of music too. She read over Mir's first. Admiring the way the song was written. She smiled. She actually found herself enjoying it. She smiled over at Mir. "You wrote this?" She asked finding it suprising and hard to beileve. Only because it was just so good.
 
Sam smiled, rolling her window down, letting the calm breeze flow through her hair. Her rough fingers played with the bill on her hat as she listened to her favorite song, 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' by Deff Lepard. She tapped her fingers on the console to the beat, letting her smile stay on her lips. She loved riding in the car with Jake. She squinted her eyes slightly as they air ran to her face. Sam liked that it was summer, school was just a huge downer, freedom was so much better.


Soon, they had pulled up to the wear house, and she unbuckled herself. "What songs to you think Nate had come up with?" She asked Jake, as she walked into the room with him. Sam's face lit up with happiness as she saw her best friends in the room. She pulled the drumsticks out of her back pocket, and pushed her hair behind her ear as she looked around the room, still holding onto Jake's hand.
 
Mir blushed cherry red, the colour bleeding down onto her neck and her ears with embarrassment. Nodding, she smiled bashfully. "Yeah. Yeah, I wrote it. Is it okay...? I mean, y'know, does it totally suck or does it just semi-suck?" Sucking in a deep breath, she looked down at what Nathan had written for them and let her mismatched eyes scan over it. Anxiety riddled at her, even as she looked up at Nathan.


Nathan was, more or less, the rock of the band. He was easy going, and it was easy to know that he wouldn't judge any of them. She thoroughly enjoyed his calming presence. In a world chaotic reds, he was a relaxing blue. It was refreshing to have him around to say the least. Smiling at him kindly, she nodded her head. "I really like the syntax in the second verse. It looks like it'll sound really good. Did you have a good night, dude? Did you get some rest? Or were you up writing this? Oh, uh, by the way? Thanks, for putting the time into us, Nathan. I really appreciate you-- not only as a songwriter, but as a good friend and sweet little dude."
 
Jake smiled at Sam "Probably something sad and boring." He smiled. He knew she knew he was only joking. He liked Nate's songs.Then he took a paper from Nate and still holding on to Sams hand lead them over to another couch that was in the room. He sat down. He noticed Spence at the Keyboard. She was definitely cool. She was like his best friend in the band. He then noticed Mir who was sitting near his sister Abby. Mir was pretty cool girl too. He couldn't quite figure her out but he loved talking to her. Then there was Chloe who was by far a cutie. He never actually had feelings for her however. He saw Lucas who was one of the managers. The guy was pretty cool and he was the only closet guy friend he had in the band. Then there was Cameron. God did he hate Cameron! Cameron was always getting on to him about being late and what not but that wasn't really why he didn't like him. He knew Cameron. He was a huge flirt and although he had no proof Cameron ever flirted with his little sister Abby, he still kept an eye on him and her. It pissed him off when he talked to her, no smile at her, look at her, F*ck even think of her! He looked away and focused on the paper Nate had given them and began to read over it. He concluded it was pretty good. 
Abby looked at Mir as her face began a reddish color. "No it's really good! Really!" She said to Mir looking at her with a sincere smile. She couldn't beileve Mir didn't have complete confidence in this. It was great! "You have got to show this to everyone! They are going to love this!" Abby looked back down at the paper. She was amazed!
