- Alexithymiaa: Alexithymiaa: -Steph, along with the rest of the band, carried equipment cases onto the stage, setting them down and opening them to haul their stuff out to begin setting up for their set. Steph set the microphone stand down and extended it, positioning it at the front of the stage in the center and stopping for a moment to stare out across the crowd, taking in the packed bar and searching from one face to the next. // Bryan sat at the bar, his phone in his hand as he stared down at the screen, Jack's fucking doofy face filling it. "Yeah yeah, they're not on yet. Would you guys shut the fuck up? I said I would show you and I will. But there's nothing to show you yet. Isn't it like four in the morning over there?"-
- Covet: Cadence was sitting at the bar looking over Bryan's shoulder at the ATL guys waving her hand at the screen. "Hi Jack!" ## Kelsey was sitting at one of the tables closest to the stage watching the band set up, eagerly waiting for them to start. ## Felix was sitting at the bar smoking a cigarette but only drinking a soda at the bar since he'd driven himself. ## Eli was sitting in a booth facing the stage with a beer sitting in front of himself, that he was sipping on.
- Tsaaq: Remy sat behind Cadence. "Do I say I too or?" Remy started to say. "Nevermind." He whispered, pulling back and drumming his knuckles on the bar top. // Bliss came from the bathroom and went to sit beside Eli. "I don't think I can remember the last time I've been at Beer Goggles." She said, looking to the stage.
- Alexithymiaa: -She leaned down again to pick up the microphone, sticking it into the microphone stand and running the cord down the length of the stage, handing it off to the sound guy at Beer Goggles for him to plug in. Standing up a little taller, she scanned the crowd again, not seeing Ash's face amongst the sea of people. She quickly stepped down off the stage, shedding her jacket to toss on top of their cases and trying to shake her limbs out in a desperate attempt to keep herself from losing it. On a quick whim, she turned to Gabby, the guitarist, her voice raised over the volume of the bar. "Lose Technicolor from the setlist. Just do five. It's fine." She held up a hand when Gabby started to protest over the last minute set list change, shaking her head. "I'm not singing that song." She pushed her hair back from her face, closing her eyes and breathing deeply. // Bryan tipped the phone in the direction of Cadence, rolling his eyes. "Don't instigate them. They don't need help. This one fuckin' moron is drunk off his ass and he's not even the one in the bar right now." // Brad strolled through the front doors of the bar with his hands in his pockets, his eyes immediately turning toward the stage to make sure he didn't miss them. When he was satisfied with his appropriate tardiness, he walked casually over toward the stage, stumbling over a chair leg and nearly running into the back of Kelsey's chair. "Woahhh. Hey, sorry. There's way too many people here."-
- Covet: Cadence laughed at Remy, "If you want to yeah, And no shit Bryan, when is Jack not drunk?" she told him laughing ## "Hey you!" Kelsey said with a laugh, looking over to him with a smile "Yeah, well I wanted to be at the front and center to see all this." ## Felix was keeping his eyes on the stage, trying to read the lips of the band members on stage, but it was hard with the distance and the small crowd of people ## Eli put his arm around Bliss and smiled, pulling her in for a kiss on top of her head, " It's been a while for us both." hell the last time Eli was here, it was when he met up with Jade for their christmas gift exchange.
- Tsaaq: "I mean they seem busy y'know, being drunk." Remy said with a laugh. "So uh, what are you like her agent or something?" He asked Bryan with a raise of her eyebrow. // She smiled up at him and let out a small sigh. "Well, I'm excited to say to least." She grinned. "May I have just a sip or is it not as fancy as the beers you usually have?" She said pointing to his drink.
- Alexithymiaa: --Clipping the transmitter onto the back of her pants, Steph followed the cord up her back with her hand, pushing the ear pieces into her ears. Letting the girls run on stage ahead of her, she waited until she heard the intro guitars and ran up the stairs to get on stage, jogging over in front of the microphone stand and leaning into it. "We are Krucial Kittens! Let's go!" She took a step back away from the microphone, leaning over and whipping her hair down in time with the drums before lifting her head back up, moving over to the microphone again. "Oh they don't hear us. Read us bedtime stories from their textbooks. Oh try to reign us in. Blind to our intelligence." She grabbed the microphone stand by the top, whipping it to one side as she sang again. "Standardization of the masses. Give us a number fail or pass us. Education, manipulation. Decide our fate, but never ask us." She lifted the microphone off of the stand, stepping forward and propping her foot up onto the speaker in front of her as she belted the chorus of the song. "We got too big for the cage you locked us up in. Let's mark this down as the day that we started something. So open the gate, open the gate cause when we finally escape, finally escape we'll be tearin through the streets. Running with the wild things." She turned away and took the microphone with her, walking back toward the drumset as Gabby and Katie made their 'Ohs' into their respective microphones. As the bridge of the song approached, she stepped up onto the speaker, raising her fist into the air with each chanted lyric. "Standardization! Of the masses! Give us a number, fall or pass us!" She then turned the microphone toward the audience, encouraging everyone to repeat the lyrics along with Gabby and Katie. "Education! Manipulation! Decide our fate but never ask us, never ask us, never ask us!" She jumped down from the speaker and whirled around to bring the song to a close to sing the remainder of the chorus, replacing the microphone in the stand for the final back up 'oh's before the instruments fell into a silence. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGuEnjFq920 ) // "More like liason." He shot back to Remy, hearing the band start up. He quickly turned the phone camera back to normal and stuck it into the air a little bit so the guys could see more clearly, his smile wide across his face as he watched. // Brad dropped down into the empty seat beside Kelsey, sliding in because there were people standing behind him and shit. "Of course, there was no way I was going to miss this." He rubbed at the sore spot on his neck where a hickey was beginning to form because that's why that fuck was late getting here. When the music started, he sat up a bit straighter, clapping his hands together for the band and singing along when appropriate.-
- Covet: Cadence looked over to see Steph and the band start up. She cheered out when they started up, nearly falling into Bryan, before she moved out towards the floor more to dance around and cheer out. ## Kelsey noticed where his hand was at, her face flickering for just a moment as she glanced at him. Then turned to the stage to cheer out for Steph, trying to ignore the curious questions she had going on in her mind. ## Felix took a sip from his soda, looking around at the people at the bar that were recording and cheering out for Steph. He nodded his head then casually looked back at the strage, listening to the beat of the song, trying to look all too cool for school bad ass type. ## Eli slid the beer over to her, "It's some microbrew that they had on tap, It's not bad, a little watered down for my tastes, but still not bad though. " He started to clap his hands when Steph started singing and the band played along with her.
- Tsaaq: Remy put his hands on Cadence's hips to steady her cause she was getting all reckless with movement and shit. None the less he cheered for Steph as the music started up. "Yeah! Fuck it up!" // Bliss went to take a sip and made a face before smiling and clapping her hands as well. "It tasted like beer to me." She laughed a little and danced around in her seat to the band's music.
- Alexithymiaa: -Replacing the microphone in the stand, she moved toward the back of the stage to grab her bottle of water, tipping it back to take a long drink before turning to walk back to the microphone. She peered out across the crowd, recognizing a lot of the faces before she spoke. "We really appreciate everyone coming out to see us tonight. This next ones called Gravity." She leaned back as the drums started, taking a deep breath before leaning in again. "Do you remember feeling invincible? When there was trouble it was us against the world. We kept running, running through the night. Chasing the sun til anything felt right." She closed her eyes, softening her voice as much as she could. "Can you save me now? I get lost up in the clouds. Can you save me now? You were my gravity." The guitars picked up and she ripped the microphone off the stand, belting into it with as much power as she had. "Can you save me now? When the ground drops out and I get lost in the clouds. Save me now, you were my grabity. Now my world is shattering." She spun around and swung the microphone by it's cord around in circles, catching it as it came back down in time to start the second verse. "You left me out there with no one, but myself. In an open field, for the lightning to strike me down. I was the moon, you were the sun. I can't seem to shine, now that you're gone. Now I'm out of orbit cause you left without warning. Are you somewhere better now?" She jumped as the music picked up again, throwing her hair forward to head bang a little, careful to not let it interfere with her singing. As they reached the final chorus, she lifted a hand into the air, holding out the last note. "Now my world is shatterrrringgg!" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-IvfzRQYHI ) // Bryan held the phone a little higher as he bounced to the music, proud as fuck. He glanced over at Remy and Cadence doing the dance thing, letting out a little laugh because he was not going to do the dance thing. "Fuck yeah! That's my sister!" // Brad bobbed his head along with the music, clapping his hands together at the end of the song and tipping his head back to cheer as loudly as he could. Shooting a quick glance over to Kelsey, he nudged her with his foot beneath the table. "They're owning right now. Think she got drunk before they went on?"-
- Covet: Cadence leaned into Remy, still dancing as the song changed up, her hands still up in the air like you do at a concert and all, "WOOOO!" ## Kelsey smiled and nodded her head, "Yeah they are, but no I don't think so. She's been working really hard on her performing, I'd think she'd want to do this sober. " She told him, watching Steph and nodding her head along with the music. ## Felix turned around to hear the guy call out towards the stage that his sister was up there, Though with three girls he wasn't entirely sure which one was his siter. I guess he kinda looked like Red. # "Yes, but was it good beer or bad beer? Is it a beer you would try again?" he said with a smirk, teasing her just a little before he took a drink, jamming out to the tunes.
- Tsaaq: He shook his head quickly at her. "OKay, how many drinks have you had?" He asked her in a monotone. "Yeah! That's my friend's sister!" He cheered as well, looking around at the crowd. // Bliss was still dancing while she thought. "Uhhhhh." She muttered. "I'm, not sure..." She trailed off with a laugh. "It's just beer!" She clapped loudly for Steph and turned to Eli. "This is great. I remember when we used to have talent shows and Steph was performing and I was helping calm her down and now look at her, rocking out!"
- Alexithymiaa: -Pushing her hands back through her hair, she tried to catch her breath since frankly she wasnt doing all that good a job of that right now. She turned away from the audience and fingered her ear piece where she'd been hearing her own voice from, hearing the beginning piano keys of the next song. Turning back to the audience, she stepped up to the edge of the stage, smiling gently. "It's a brand new day, it's never too late to start. Can't live this life with an empty heart. Every single time that we lay it on the line, it's a roller coaster ride for one. When you know it's do or die and you're running out of time, We gotta give it all we got. All we got..." She trailed off, her face softening. "I want something more. A life worth fighting for. I don't need a reason, to set the world on fire and burn a little bit brighter now. There's something beautiful hiding in the shadows. So set the world on fire. Let's burn a little bit brighter now." She stepped away from the edge of the stage, turning to skip away toward the drumset before turning to walk back slowly, trying to use as much of the stage as she possibly could. The bridge approached and she stepped up onto the speaker, leaning over the audience as she sang. "Can't stand by and wait like the others. I'm front life and won't run for cover. Head held high cause I'm burning brighter." She swung her free hand up over her head, swaying it back and forth along with the beat of the song. "It's a brand new day, it's never too late to start..." ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRDdK4ByD9w ) // Bryan pulled his phone down from the air and glanced at the screen to make sure that that shit was still working and the guys were still there. He quickly rolled his eyes when he saw all four guys crowded into the frame of the camera and they all started to yell at him to put the phone back up. // Brad nodded, proud and shit because that's his friend and he does that. "Wow, I knew she was practicing, but I didn't realize that big. Well.... good for her."-
- Covet: "None, I'm just really excited for Steph, that's all." She told him, spinning around to give him a wet kiss before turning back to the stage. ## Kelsey grinned even bigger, "Yeah, She's been doing a lot of it, and it's paying off. I'm so proud of her right now!" ## Felix was chilling in his barstool, nodding his head along to the beat that he could hear, even though she sounded mufffled to him a little bit, he was really digging the sound of the band, even if it could use more electronic influence. ## "Aww, Yeah I remember her having some pretty bad Stage fright, but you're right, she's rocking out now and really good" Eli said, cheering out for Steph.
- Tsaaq: "Agh! My face! My beard!" Remy shouted then kissed her neck as they swayed to the music. // Bliss grinned widely. "I'm so proud." She said softly as she went to clap louder. "Woo!" She said over the sounds of the crowd.
- Alexithymiaa: -She pushed her hand back through her hair, her face warm under the hot lights. Moving to the microphone stand, she slipped the microphone down into it, nodding her head and tapping her foot along with the sounds of the oncoming tune. "Have you had a million reasons why you wish you'd never seen the truth? Have you looked in the mirror and the problem's staring back at you? I can't control myself, don't know who I've been. And who is this monster wearing my skin? A movie in black and white. When will it end? Cause every time I scream no one hears me." She grabbed the whole microphone stand, jumping up onto the speaker and taking it with her as she leaned over the edge of the stage, forcing the power through her voice. "It feels like I'm paralyzed and I can't, escape from the prison I'm living in. I'm naming the voices in my head. They keep on telling me to give in. But it's making me stronger. Fight a little longer. I'm gonna bring me back to life. And I won't be paralyzed." She smirked and jumped down off the speaker, replacing the microphone stand down in its place. Ripping the microphone off, she started to pace the stage, singing as she walked. Hearing the oncoming bridge, she swung the microphone around in the air, putting her arm out to let the cord wrap around her arm until it was completely wound, singing into it again. "I'm not afraid, I can face my demons. Even if they tear me down. If I fall, let me fall, it might take time, but I'll find my own way out. It feels like I'm paralyzed and I can't escape from the prison I'm living in..." She trailed off before jumping into the final verse of the chorus, dancing her way across the stage until the closing notes to hold them out. She let her eyes close, swiping her hand over her cheek to brush away the tear that fell. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z486zUrUJSc ) // Bryan shifted himself on his stool, propping his arm against the bar so he could try to turn his head and get a better view since so many people rushed the dance floor to do the dance thing. "Fuckin... move! Get out of my way, I can't see." // Brad clapped his hands together when they finished off the next song, cheering and turning to Kelsey again. "Yeah, me too. I never could have seen her doing this five years ago."-
- Covet: Laughing out, Cadence shook her head at his ridiculous complaints, while Steph changed to another song, listening to the lyrics of it. ## "Right? She's come so far, and I'm glad this is working out for her, she looks so comfortable up there right now. " Kelsey said after the song change. ## Felix watched her up on stage and noticed the subtle moments of her wiping away a tear, before he heard Bryan yelling out, "Dude, just stand on the bar, then they won't be in your way" He suggested. ## Eli smiled at Bliss, keeping his arm around her while they listened to her keep playing her set.
- Tsaaq: "This is pretty okay, this is cool and shit. Right?" He asked Cadence. "I mean this song is petty good." // Bliss looked over to him a moment and went to hold his hand. She looked over at the bar and saw Bryan. "He won't get in trouble for that will he? Or hurt?"
- Alexithymiaa: -She turned to grab her water bottle, sucking down a long drink of water before replacing it and stepping back into front of the microphone. "I want to thank everyone for your amazing support tonight. This is our last song." She dipped her head down until she heard the beginning piano keys, closing her eyes as she tried to clear her mind. "I've seen the rise and the fall. The bitterness and all the empty hearts that stopped before they left their mark. In this town your worst friends. Can be your best enemies, share the same last wish, last names. It's a ll lies to keep you in line." She paused, lifting her head to stare across the audience. "So hang on, be storng. Love live the kids in us all. Pride may fail us, but god we will die trying. Hang on, be strong, love the kids in us all. Fate may cheat us, but god we will die trying." The music picked up and she bounced away from the microphone, shaking her head around before jumping back in front of it. "I've been the hope and the doubt. The fear of breaking down. These insecurities until there's nothing left. I wanna scream, I wanna live. I don't care who's listening. I won't wait my turn to be the ignorance. It's all lies to keep you in line!" She pulled the microphone down off the stand and stepped up onto the speaker, swaying her arm over her head as she sang through the chorus. When she got to the bridge, she shook her head, chanting out. "You can't tell us no! You can't tell us no! No no no!" When the music struck again, she lifted her legs to jump off the speaker, landing hard on her feet and spinning around to finish out the song. "You can't tell us no!" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S_a6vglycc ) // Bryan kept the phone up and turned to glance at Felix, considering his suggestion for a moment. "That's easier said than done." He turned back to finish watching Steph do her thing, trying to leap off his chair when they finished to clap, but kind of just settling for sliding off to his feet. // "Yeah, me too. She looks happier." He smiled as he watched her as the final song came to a close, jumping up from his chair and clapping his hands together, whistling for the band as they all took their exit from the stage and started to break down their equipment.-
- Covet: "Mhhm, It's definitely fitting to her too." Cadence said smiling as she finished up her set, jumping and jamming out with her. ## Kelsey looked at Brad, nodding her head before she too stood up and cheered out, "Yeah Steph!!!! WOOO Krucial Kittens!" ## Felix shrugged at Bryan, not realizing that he was missing a leg or anything, then turned back towards the stage and put his hand up in the air, while he nodded his head until she was finished then he got up and clapped his hands obnoxiously loud. ## Eli glanced over to Bryan, and gave a shrug, "I'm not sure what the policy on leaning on the bar, or filming the show is, but nobody is stopping him." He applauded Steph when she was finished with her set list, then took another long sip off his beer.
- Tsaaq: "Okay, okay." Remy patted Cadence's hips. "Don't over do it." He told her. "Hey! Be careful!" He said to Bryan before letting go of Cadence a moment to clap. // "I don't know, I just suppose I worry." She shrugged as she applauded as well. She went to take a sip of his beer once he was done, making another face.
- Alexithymiaa: -Steph plucked the ear[ieces from inside her ears and draped them over her shoulders, moving off the stage and wading through the crowd of people all waving and doing the audience thing. She pushed through the crowd of people, first coming across Cadence and Remy and putting her hand on Cadence's shoulder, leaning in to shout over the bar sounds. "Thanks for coming!" She pushed on to head back toward the bar, immediately wrapping her arms around Bryan to squeeze him. // Bryan hugged Steph when she got to him, yelling. "You fuckin' killed it, Shortstack! Look, All Time Blows says hi." He leaned back and stuck the phone in her face so the guys could see her and do their thing. // Brad turned to watch Steph wander off through the crowd, turning his attention back to Kelsey. "I feel like I just witnessed history. Or maybe I'm just hungry. I don't know, I can't tell."-
- Covet: Cadence gave Steph a pat on the shoulder back, before she broke off to give Bryan a hug. "He's totally right. You did. I need a headstone please." She said, lacing her fingers into Remy's hand as they stood there. ## Kelsey watched her wander past then looked at Brad, " Are you sure it's not both?
- Covet: [FUCK!]
- Covet: [FUCK YOU TINY KEYBOARD!]
- Tsaaq: ((-pats-))
- Covet: *both?" She asked him with a laugh. "Would you like to start heading back to talon to make something to eat? I'll be up for a little bit at least." Kelsey offered him. ## Felix turned around on his barstool and watched Steph's interaction with her brother, then gave her a casual wave as he lit up another cigarette blowing the smoke away from the group. ## Eli looked over to catch Bliss's beer face and chuckled, "You don't have to drink it if it tastes that bad"
- Tsaaq: "Yeah you did great Steph." He said with a thumbs up. "All Time Blow-" Remy repeated with his eyebrow furrowed. "Ohhh right right, like blow, like blow jobs, like you think they blow and shit." He squeezed Cadence's hand. // She laughed and shrugged. "I got curious again and immediately regretted it." She chuckled. "Great job Steph!" She called out from their booth, but that was just lazy of her.
- Alexithymiaa: -Steph took the phone from Bryan and smiled at the guys. "Hey. It's cool that even though you're in Europe, you sort of tuned in. I really appreciate it." She waved at them before saying her goodbyes and ending the facetime video, handing Bryan's phone back to him. "Ash didn't come." She paused, chewing on her lower lip. "I thought he might... but..." She shook her head, trying to shake off the lump in her throat, catching Felix waving at her from behind Bryan and furrowing her brows. "You came? I honestly didn't expect you to. I thought you were just being polite." // Bryan took his phone back and shoved it down into his pocket, glancing at Remy. "Why did it take you so long to get that? It's like I could see the gears turning in your little brain and all I could do was watch you try to work it out on your own." He rolled his eyes and swept his hair back from his face, watching Steph for a minute. "Yeah... no Ash. Sorry Shortstack. I'll kick his ass for you." // Brad's brows shot up at the prospect of food and possibly being able to convince Kelsey to come back to his room with him. "I will hands down take you up on that offer." He slid over to her, slipping his arm around her shoulders to tug her against his side. "What are we making?"-
- Covet: Cadence listened to Remy, then shook her head slowly, only slightly embarassed for him, then looked over to Steph, "Fuck him, It's his loss that he missed out on you killing it." ## "Hmm, something with chicken... but don't worry we'll make it like you haven't made it before so it feels like something new." She told him, leaning into him as she headed for the door of the bar, intending to message Steph later about how awesome she did. ## "I said I would be here, so here I am. That was a pretty cool show. I could have used some more deep bass, but I know it's not the genre of the music. You rock pretty good Red. " He told her politely finishing off his drink. ## " Aww, well if you'd like we can head home and you can replace that foul taste with some wine or something else, if you'd like." Eli told her.
- Tsaaq: "Yeah okay Bryan, my brain is as little as my dick is." He retorted. "I was being facetious. Because if anything you all time blow." He muttered. "Adorable, that people still think I'm stupid. That's so cute. I'll be waiting in the car." Remy said, letting go of Cadence's hand and beginning to walk away. // Bliss chuckled and went to slide out of the booth. "Well, sure. That doesn't sound like an awful idea at all." She replied. "As long and you want to do that, though."
- Alexithymiaa: "Thanks Arizona." She forced a smile and pulled her arms around her middle, turning to look between Bryan and Cadence. "Bryan, stop. If it was even worth it, I would kick his ass myself. Wouldn't be the first fucking time.." She ran her fingers back through her hair, looking amongst the group. "I'm going to go finish packing up. I really appreciate you guys coming. This means a lot to me." She stood there for a moment before ducking away from them, heading back to the stage to pack her shit. // Bryan smirked, nodding his head. "Wow, that small?" He called after Remy, cracking up before his gaze followed to Steph and directed his comment at Cadence. "You know, I'm really tired of that fuck's shit. Like really really tired of it. Are we going to beat his ass again? Cause despite what she says, I know she won't. But fuck, I will." He shook his head and sighed, glancing at Felix since now he felt like he had to pay attention to him since Steph acknowledged him. "I dont know you, but we're going to kick some ass." // Brad laughed, walking to the exit of the bar with Kelsey at his side. "I like new. I'm always up for something new. Can we do spicy? I like spicy." He smirked his smug little grin at her, stepping outside into the cold.-
- Covet: Cadence blinked at Remy, "But Babe...your dick isn't little at all. Wait, I'm coming home with you too!" She said walking after him turning back to look at Bryan, "I'd love to beat his WANNABE batman ass...again..." She turned back and yelled back to Steph, "Way to Slay Dick! Okay but Remy and I are going to head home now, so we can talk more about this ass beating later ## Felix nodded his head and gave her a thumbs up before he looked at Bryan, "Oh sweet, don't even give me names, just tell me where and when to be there." He laughed, then put out his cigarette, " And you can just call me Felix, I'll catch you around sometime, Hardcore Dude." He said then made his way out the door. ## "I can get behind that idea, with you. A nightcap before we go to sleep." He said with a smile at her, giving her a kiss on the cheek as he wrapped his arms around her waist, heading for the door.
- Covet: [And with that I need to log out, because I have to either sleep or figure out what the hell I'm doing tomorrow. x.x]
- Alexithymiaa: (You should do both sort of)
- Covet: [XD that's not helpful bitch!]
- Alexithymiaa: (When have I ever been helpful?)
- Covet: [Touche! Okay GOODNIGHT BITCHES!!!]
- Alexithymiaa: (Niiiiight)
- Tsaaq: ((Fuuuck.))
