Will they Survive Friday?

Who: The members of Surviving Friday
What: A band gets two new members. Things are awkward.
When: Mid November
Where: Virgo HQ
Warnings: None




[Bands often live or die on the chemistry of their members. Switching out two established members for a couple of newbies is a radical move, and it makes sense for people on both sides of this equation to be more than a little nervous. Except the mananger. Mr. Yama Darzi doesn't seem concerned at all as he leads Tsuna and Nia into the posh suite to meet their new band. Either he's confident in their skills or just their marketability. Same difference.

Introductions are brief and amount to little more than...]


The lovely young lady is your new lead guitarist, Nia. And Tsuna is the new drummer. Everyone try to get along, I'm expecting big things out of all of you.


[By 'big things' he means money. And clearly everyone has questions for him. Possibly about why two of thier members were suddenly replaced. Or what happened to them. Or any number of other things. But tragically, Mr. Darzi is suddenly pulled away by a phone call. Sorry, guys, he just has to take this. Very important call. That's okay, right?

No? Well, too bad. He's a very busy man. The manager heads out, leaving an awkward silence in his wake. After a moment, Tsuna breaks the silence with a question about their manager.]


Is he.... always like that?

[Nia was watching the city go by, leaning back comfortably in her seat as she waited to arrive. At least it was in style. At least she was getting away from her family. At least now she had a real chance. She's surprised when Tsuna speaks to her, blinking before she settles back a little more, trying to look ~knowledgeable~ and ~mature~. I mean. It fails. She's got a giant cloud of blonde hair and is wearing hot pink but like. She tries.]

Of course I did. Didn't you? I try to keep up on rising bands, especially ones like this. [Moneymakers. Pop groups that can sell albums just on being bouncy and inoffensive. Catchy as fuck songs that Nia will never be caught singing in the shower if she has her way.]

Oh! [Nia at least has a pleasant front, then. When she's doing things she likes, she can actually be pretty sweet. She digs through her bag to find her... ipod equivalent I guess and fiddles with it for a second.]

Would you like to listen? This is my favorite song of theirs.

Friday's suite

[personal profile] connivingbird 2015-11-18 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Ankh hasn't stopped making his pillow fort/nest in the common room since that weird week of odd memories and even odder moments of forgetting everything. Every day, the cleaning staff came in and put everything back where it belonged. Every night, after a hard day's work of recording and practice and exercise and photo-shoots and everything, Ankh dragged all the cushions and pillows and blankets to the center of the room and stayed there. It was a never ending battle and so far, no one has come out the winner. At least he had stopped building his nest on the balcony but that might be because of the it was getting too cold for that sort of thing.

So when the two newbies were dragged into the apartment, Ankh was sprawled out on his pile of stuff, chewing on the end of his fingerpicks and staring moodily at a pile of music scores. He looked up at the introductions, made a sound a lot like 'tch' a little louder then normal, and then went back to his arrangement. At Tsuna's question, Ankh looked up again.]


Yes. [He squinted at the lines he had wrote and then tossed the papers down and stood up. Without the layers of blankets, Ankh was just a skinny blond guy with a lot of tattoos, including an eye on the palm of his right hand, which he is now pointing at the two of them.] Had either of you two studied our songs? Know how to play them?

[He'll learn soon enough. She crosses her legs in a way that she hopes makes her seem more mature.]

Well, it's obvious they had people leave the band. There's been some firings in major record labels, I heard.

[And then she folds her hands in her lap.] What do you play?

[She's not enjoying the way she feels like he's looking at her. There's a moment where Nia scowls and tosses her hair over her shoulder. Then she tries to give a polite smile? TRIES?]

I've been listening since your first album. I only know how to play a couple, but I can learn.

Friday's Suite~

[personal profile] yellowcopycat 2015-11-20 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Ryouta was camped out at the dining room table. He had his computer open and was writing when Yama brought the newbies in. Now he was openly studying them. To be honest, he hadn't been extremely happy when Ankh had been made lead over him, and he really missed Aoba and Kaworu. Aoba's dismissal had been especially confusing because he couldn't think of a reason for his dismissal. Kaworu he could rationalize at least, and that was some comfort.

However, he wasn't quite comfortable with either of them being replaced. Still it was the business they were in, and he had to suck it up. No reason to hold it against them.]


Hi.

[Not the friendliest of greetings, but he's trying]
connivingbird: (no you didnt)

[personal profile] connivingbird 2015-11-20 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
[What did they expect really? Ankh was not happy that the structured order had been rearranged. He wasn't happy that he had to sing. He wasn't happy that he was giving up his guitar.

But this is what the label wanted, so this was what they were getting.]


What do you play?
connivingbird: (missed me)

[personal profile] connivingbird 2015-11-20 09:12 am (UTC)(link)
Is that right?

[At least she wasn't too clueless about them, though Ankh expected maybe a little more age on these two new people. He felt like he was ready for the old folks home standing around these kids; even Kise is younger then him, sheesh.

But he was trying to be nice. And when we say trying, that means he wasn't throwing things and yelling.]


What do you play?
loveconservative: (Default)

[personal profile] loveconservative 2015-11-20 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Guitar, mostly. That's what they said I'd be playing for you. [She's. Trying very hard to seem upbeat. This welcome isn't a great one.]
yellowcopycat: (no offense)

[personal profile] yellowcopycat 2015-11-20 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
So. Drums?

[He feels bad, obviously he's making them uncomfortable. He stands and walks over. He kinda towers over them, which makes him feel awkward.]

I'm Ryouta, nice to meet you too.
yellowcopycat: (sparkle)

[personal profile] yellowcopycat 2015-11-22 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kise nods, already warming to the kid]

Yeah, every suite's this nice. It's pretty great.

[His eyes go wide and he takes Tsuna by the arm and guides him to the balcony]

Dude, you haven't even seen the best part. The view is great! And we get a pool!
connivingbird: (just die now)

[personal profile] connivingbird 2015-11-22 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's a bit overly protective of his spot in the band and with him getting moved over to vocals? Well, he can do it, he's got a good voice, but the guitar has been his for years. He doesn't like being replaced even if he was getting a better chance to get to the front. It felt wrong being replaced.

You're me. You need to return to me.

Ankh shook his head at the stupid new voice. Some kid and what did it know?]


Do you pick or slap?
connivingbird: (grumble muble)

[personal profile] connivingbird 2015-11-22 11:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Does he know when the next show is? No, he doesn't keep a lot of attention on the gigs and the dates and the times. That's why they have a staff. They're the ones that show up to hustle them off to the next big thing. Ankh just shrugged and points - a dramatic twist of his tattooed hand as he does so - at the whiteboard set up on the back of the suite's door. It had been turned into a calendar and in fine writing there were lists of times and places that they needed to go.]

You'll have one in your rooms just to make sure we're all on the right day. They'll send reminders on our phones and the staff will show up about two hours to harass us into presentable clothing and whatever else we need.

I play guitar! This is a lucky break, really. Not many bands need guitarists, they're normally the first thing a band finds...

[This really does seem like a lucky break for her! And she's super glad for it.]
loveconservative: (Default)

[personal profile] loveconservative 2015-11-23 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh no. A choice. This means she's about to be judged, doesn't it? Her voice sounds a little defensive.]

Pick. Why?
