Realistic or Modern Rush (Lets start a band)

[AlmighTy]

Friday Evening
(09/02/00)
City: Evergreen (Made Up city)
State: Virginia

Kai sat in a chair waiting for the other members to enter. He spent the past three weeks working on songs for their first live show. The only problem this was his first time meeting everyone he posted an online ad and just wished for the best. Kai stood on the stage and started playing his guitar. "Let us go into the despair they call love." He started playing the guitar and continued to sing the lead part.

"Through your eyessss, I can see the night sky.... Let us go through deserted streets... Then enter my restless sheets... Enter my despair with the thing you call loveeeeeee." He pushed his guitar to his side and started to write down lyrics and mouth the drums and keyboard parts. Music was Kai's passion since he was a small a child and his recent heartbreak had motivated him to write all kinds of songs he had three notebooks full he just needed a great band and an awesome lead singer.

Ryon was a quite experienced piano player. Playing the piano was just a hobby, but recently, he saw an ad saying that a guy named Kai was looking for people to start a band. Ryon just played the piano as a hobby, but decided to see what it was about. Kai was looking for guitarists, a drummer, a lead singer, a manager, and the role that caught his eye-- Pianist. Ryon wasn't sure if he was ready to play with other people and was pretty self conscious, but soon decided to show up at the place.

Now, he was at the doorway that revealed the room where they had to meet up. Normally, he would've never went to the place, but after talking with Kai online, he seemed like a pretty nice guy. Ryon took a deep breath before opening the door. He entered the room and quietly closed the door. Ryon looked around the room. He had to admit, it looked cool. There was also a guy with white and long hair. He seemed to be writing something down on a notebook? The guy didn't look like what Ryon thought he was going to look like, but then you can't really guess. He decided to speak up after a few seconds. "Uh, hello? I-I saw your post. Pianist role." Ryon said, awkwardly.​

Today was the day that Giselle was going to go see Kai for the first time to tryout for a lead singer lead in the band he was looking for. Sbe knew saw the guy face to face but she saw the ad about him wanting to have a band. It caught her attention while she was working on her studies for school in her music major. Music was everything to her and it made her the person she is today. Whiling driving to the palce where she was to meet up with Kai she was listening to some music on the way and singing along with the music on the radio.

Giselle finally made it to the place that Kai sent the address to and she was excited yet nervous at the same time because she didn't know who else would be there to take up for the role as well but all she could do was wait and see what will happen. Going towards the door with her wooden guitar strapped around her shoulders she walks through the doors and sees a male with long white hair and another male with darkish brown hair and glasses. "Sorry to intrude but I came for the ad I saw online about looking for a lead singer?", she said in her thick accent.​

Spoiler: RYON

"Sorry to intrude but I came for the ad I saw online about looking for a lead singer?" Ryon jumped in surprise. A female voice. He turned around. Standing before him was a woman with blonde hair and had a guitar strapped on her back. Ryon immediately greeted her. "Salutations, Miss," said Ryon, "I assume that you are interested in the Lead Singer role?" Ryon was pretty excited. He remembered there was a Manager spot as well. Ryon hoped the Manager wasn't strict or super serious. He would probably quit the first day or the second day.

A thought struck him. Was Kai doing first come, first serve or was he doing tryouts? Ryon had never thought about it. Maybe someone else was interested in the Pianist role as well. Ryon was pretty confident if it wasn't first come, first serve and it was just tryouts, he would be able to take the Pianist role anyway. His attention returned to the woman. "I am taking the Pianist spot,"

Kai looked up and had the biggest smile "Gigi and Ryon Hi pleasure to meet you." He stared at Gigi for a while "Just what I imagined." He reached into his bag and pulled out a sheet of paper "I have everything highlighted for you, welcome to Rush." (The way its highlighted is how you will know your part It will match the color or your name. Black is everyone)

R E S C U E Me

Kai hands out the music sheets

( Ryon starts slow melody in beginning)

"Somebody rescue mee
I need your loveeee
Save me from this wretched world ....
Can’t you hear me screaming for your loveeee"

Gigi

"All The Pain You caused my heart..
I won’t allow me to fall apart
I Need Your Loveee
Come and save me from the never-ending pain called love

" Saveeee Meee frommm myselff"

"Save me from all this painnnnn"

(Awesome Drum Scene)

Guitars Slowly Creep In

GUITAR/DRUM SCENE

Gigi
"Rescue Me From All This PAIN (Hold Note)"

Ryon comes in

"Somebody rescue mee
Save me from this wretched world
Can’t you hear me screaming for your love "


Kai stood next to his guitar after passing out the sheets "Everyone practice solo then in about an hour we can come back together." He looked at Gigi "I hope the lyrics aren't too dark for you."

The door opened with a slam and an angry smooth British girls voice: "sorry im late the bloody underground was packed." Her hair was deffitly different, her ears guaged, among other ear peircings. She was wearing studded boots, fishnet tights and leather shorts, a red belly shirt, and alot of bracelets. On Closer examination of her face she had a septum peircing, and her upper lip pierced twice. She looked almost a polar opposite to Gigi. She carried a guitar case and set it down, pulling out a bass guitar that looked like it was made from skulls. "I suppose I ought tell you my real name. It's Lenorea."
(Sorry I dont remember how to do a spoiler)

 

[AlmighTy]

"Leno" he smiled "You're a sight for sore eyes," he said smiling at her guitar. He handed her a music sheet "We're doing solo practice until everyone has their part down would you mind singing backup vocals?" He said looking into her eyes "Also if you need any help I'm here." He turned and walked back to the stage he glanced back and smiled at her.

The house goes dark, then is obscured completely by the blinding stage lights. Her wide and wandering eyes finally rest on the conductor, whose hands are raised as like a preacher overcome with the power of his own words. The orchestra moves in unison to position their instruments at the ready. The hands go up, and her heart skips a beat. That's the signal. One count, and they're in. On the first downbeat the stage comes alive with Springtime. They're playing Vivaldi's Four Seasons, a suite known by all and heard over countless soundtracks. It is such a common sound that it tends to go to the background of one's mind when one hears it. But they've made it their own. The audience is thoroughly captivated. The house is silent until the end of the suite, and then the mountainous uproar of the standing ovation resounds at the drop of the hands. Cocoa, the first chair violinist, stands proudly to accept their praise.

Her sweet smile fades and her eyes open, the clipboard she hugs to her chest falling to her side as the memory retreats. It has been two years since that moment. Now here she was, standing outside the threshold to a completely different scene. The place was poorly lit, musty, and overall a little bit scary. But she just had to do it. Music had always been her passion in high school. She hadn't done a damn thing with her life since graduating, and she had to do something to get away from her ever-so-loving but oh-so-suffocating family.

Manager Needed.

That was what the online ad said. She'd been browsing through band forums and whatnot, just to see what kind of world it was for people who had the courage to take the plunge. She'd thought, hey, that doesn't sound bad. That'd be a great way to stay involved with music but not...really. The idea somewhat depressed her at first. But as she lay in bed that night, the idea sounded more and more appealing. She was more into classical music, but there weren't any community orchestras where she lived. She could make some money and at least be around musical people. She took some business classes in high school and gotten pretty decent grades. It certainly wouldn't hurt to go to the rendezvous and see what it's all about.

And so there she was, pushing open the door just in time to see everyone was busy doing something. She felt a sudden pang of anxiety as the door closed noisily. She realized they were only just being assigned roles and given music, not much else. But still, being a new arrival always made her nervous.

"Hello," she greeted them, managing to sound rather collected. "I'm Camila Hernandez, though most people call me Cocoa."

When she was sure she had some kind of attention, she explained, "I'm here to inquire about your need for a band manager."

 

[HorizonBringer]

Lenorea smirked, "Nice tah see you too mate." She purred and took the music, "it's no problem for me to do backup vocals. Are you looking for a growl, or just regular singing?" She asked him. Her eyes were a different color since she had seen him last, they were a soft clear gray then, now they were deep ocean blue- she wore contacts.

 

[AlmighTy]

"I want to hear you growl." He smirked then turned to Cocoa "Heres a binder of all the gigs I've got set up and cash is in the backpack behind you." He reached into his pocket and pulled out two songs "I have Rescue Me and Through Your Eyes what do you want you to hear? Also, you have to do some recruiting that acoustic guitar isn't going to play itself." He chuckled

 

[Ruinel]

Cocoa let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Her mind went blank a moment as it tried to process this. She got the job. That's great! As long as...she likes it enough. She took the binder carefully and flipped through the pages, seeing if she could make sense of it. There were names of venues and contacts for each one. She saw places she knew, places she'd never heard of, and some that were just addresses or GPS coordinates. Underground, she figured. How edgy.

She pushed up her glasses to glance at the backpack. That didn't seem a very secure place to store money. But she didn't have that much time to think. He was asking for a decision. "Uh...let's hear Rescue Me," she said, pulling a sticky note from her pocket and smoothing it out on her clipboard to write "Recruit acoustic guitar". She knew bringing that thing would be a good idea.

 

[HorizonBringer]

Lenorea smirked at Kai. "Whatever you say boss." She sat down with her guitar, and began plucking notes. They thrummed lowly out of the pocket amp clipped to her belt, a cacophony of echoing sounds reverbingt hrough the room. She didn't sing, she knew from experience if she practiced growling it would sound bad. That's just something that came in the moment.

"Just what I imagined", was what she heard from Kai after she zoned out for a bit. She also found out that the dark hair kid name was was Ryon and he was the pinaoist of this band which she thought was amazing and cool to have one. While Kai was handing out the music sheet she was reading the parts she had to sing and she was reading the lyrics and the music notes at the same time seeing that this song was a bit dark but she really didn't mind or just didn't care."I hope the lyrics aren't too dark for you.", Kai said to her while she was reading. "No it isn't it's very interesting honestly". She sat down her gutair and took it out the case trying to use it to help her out with the lyrics.

"Rescue Me From All This PAIN" while she was holding onto her last note which was the word 'pain' the door slammed open to a girl with a British accent and different color hair which and earplugs on. He outfit was to her very interesting but what could she do right?. "I suppose I ought tell you my real name. It's Lenorea.". SHe looked at the girl and waved at her and says "Hey I'm Giselle but you can call me Gigi", she said with a smile and went back to reading her music.​

 

[HorizonBringer]

Lenorea looked a Gigi. What a clash of cultures. She thought. But shrugged it off, "You can all call me Nore if you like, i guess." She liked the nickname "Nore" it sounded lime Noire, the French word for black, right? Her guitar silenced in her hands, she had come to the end of her practice sheet.

Kai stood and cleared his throat "Cocoa wants us to run through Rescue Me." He plugged in his guitar and waited on Ryon's queue. When Kai's phone rung he answered quickly "Hello." then his face looked as if he wanted to cry "I'm marrying your brother I dont love you anymore." Then she hung up he put his phone in his pocket and went back on stage. "Ready," He said as his voice started to crack.

 

[Ruinel]

Cocoa's brow furrowed at the sudden change in Kai. The two were still not totally acquainted but it was obvious something troubled him about that call. She wanted to say something, but wasn't sure what would be appropriate. She didn't even know what the call was about. So she stood still, watching everyone in take their places in the colorful lights.

"Ready," Kai said. His voice sounded horrible. She opened her mouth to speak, but thought it might be better to wait until after they finished playing.

As she was goign over the music one more time Lenorea says to her "You can all call me Nore if you like, i guess." . She nodded at calling her Nore for now on, she found her nick name different but different is always a good thing she always says to herself. She then looked up when Kai was talking to the manger about going threw a run of the song and then that's when he left to take a phone call and his face changed so quick in 2 seconds. She didn't know what the call was about but she did feel consured about it at the sametime. She puts down her gutair and she went on the stage putting her hand on his shoulder and says "You sure you want to start now you don't look okay love?".​

 

[AlmighTy]

Kai looked at Gigi "Tomorrow you guys are getting one hell of a song." He smiled but you could still see the sadness in his eyes. He cleared his throat once again and got in playing position "Ready". So many thoughts were going through his head but, he had to get through it.

Gig nodded at him as Kai said that we will get one hell of a song and she was indeed very excited for the next song that he has going through in his mind. Music comes from thoughts and comes from what type of feelings you have while writing the song and you can tell what the writer was thinking or feeling about during the time. She walked away from Kai going in her spot in the center of the stage and grabs on to the mic stand where the micophone was and gets ready to sing Recuse Me.​

 

[Shabazz]

"Sorry I'm late." spoke an unfamiliar voice as the doors to the hall swung open. A man stepped into the hall and made his way to the rest of the band members. He was wearing a black leather jacket, dark jeans and a pair of sunglasses. On his back was his acoustic guitar.

As he stood in front of Kai, the man who he recognized from the online ad, the stranger took his sunglasses off and ran his fingers through his blonde hair, oiling up the roots so his haircut would stay still. "But thanks for waiting." he smiled, "I'm Adam," Adam stretched his left hand out to shake that of Kai. "Guitarist."

 

[AlmighTy]

Kai shook his hand "Adam nice to meet you." He smiled "Fall in your music sheet is already on your stand." Kai tried not to zone out but so many different lyrics were flowing through his mind he looked over a Gigi and wondered if she'd be okay with singing his next song it was a little different from the other ones.

 

[HorizonBringer]

Lenorea watched Kai. She recognized that look. She had felt that pain on more than a few occasions. She plucked a few notes, looking to Ryon to start, "Cant wait to hear it mate." She smiled to Kai, a knowing, sad look in her ocean colored eyes.

A blonde boy sat outside the shady looking venue. He wore skinney jeans and a black button up shirt, he had all the "i just rolled out of bed and still look this sexy" effortless glamour. He was smoking a Ciggarette, waiting for his overly elusive edgy sister, Lenorea. His name was Oliver.

(Sorry all, i didnt get the alerts :/)

 

[Shabazz]

"Thanks." Adam unzipped the bag that contained his guitar and hoped up onto the stage. He found a small stool where he began tuning his guitar. Before he even sat down a young lady in the middle of the stage caught his attention.
"Hey, aren't you," Adam came closer and dropped his voice to a whisper, "Aren't you that billionaire Akiyama's daughter?"

Waiting to start she heard ad saw someone walk in the door with a leather jacket and black sun glasses and he was holding a gutair and his hands and thats when she knew that he was the new acoustic gutairist. He was a cute fellow she said to herself but she ingore her thoughts and she then heard the guy say "Hey, aren't you... Aren't you that billionaire Akiyama's daughter?". I nodded and says “Yes I am but I’m not one of those spoiled rich girls who care about money and popularity more than anything.”, she wasn’t trying to be rude or anything she just hate when people see her last name they automatically just want her friend and take her money but she hopes that the friendships or relationship she makes in this band is better than that.​

 

[Shabazz]

"I'm sure your not, I just remember you from the news. You had some big heart break with your fiancé or something." Adam responded to Gigi. He then turned to practicing his music. Humming the chords to Rescue Me, he realized that it was written in D Minor, arguably the most depressing key ever.
"Jesus, I didn't know I signed up for a death metal band!" he joked.
