((OOC: This should go in the Great Hall but since we don't got a Great Hall boared <.< I am sticking it here since Ravenclaw has the least number of threads.))
The Great Hall looked nothing like it normally did. The four long class tables were gone, leaving only a large wooden stage against the full length windows on the far wall away from the door. The stage was simple, three feet off the ground made of a lightly varnished white oak. A single person could be heard walking back and forth on the stage muttering to him self.
"Doreimephasolatido." he said quickly to himself in one pitch and "Do rei me pha so la ti do" in a totally different pitch. He then said it once more in a another different pitch into a small mic around his ear and near his mouth.
Rhyme was stretching out his vocal chords, getting them ready. He could shift to any tone he could imagine, but some still hurt his throat if he didn't stretch it. The song he was about to sing wasn't that bad, but he didn't want to take any chances. This was just a practice for him, so he didn't want to pull anything.
He wore a pair a faded ripped blue jeans. The tear was in the left knee and there was slight fraying in the bottom above his elemental shoes. His shirt was pure black which accented his brown leather coat. He gave his hair a flip, sending his purple locks out of his eyes, which were also a purple but many shades darker.
Then, with a sharp turn toward the audience, he began his practice.
I'm gonna make you bend and break
(It sends you to me without wait)
Say a prayer but let the good times roll
In case God doesn't show
(Let the good times roll, let the good times roll)
And I want these words to make things right
But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life
"Who does he think he is?"
If that's the worst you got
Better put your fingers back to the keys
Right as he began he threw his arms outward in a wide arc, creating two exact copies of himself behind him, one on each side. They would sing his backup. One put his hand half over the mic to get the faded echo effect.
Rhyme then took a large step forward and began to so sing, a spot light out of nowhere came down on him, illuminating him as the music picked up behind.
Ryan walked in with a smile on his face but he didn't know why but he saw this guy singing and went up to him and thought he was good. He was once in a band but then his parents made him come here and he didn't wnat to but he always listened to his folks and he didn't mind at all.
He went back to listening to the guy and though that he was still good. Rayan new how to play the gutair and was the best whrer he used to live but now sometimse he will just sit up in his room and play it there practiceing to songs that he new form his band.
He walked up and asked the guy "Hey what is your name?"she asked him .
{ What are one liners? }
(( an one liner is someone who RP like this: " Haha" Albus said.
They RP without nearly doing anything, or describe anything. Its really annoying....))
Albus were headed back to his dorm, as he had visited Hagrid, in his little hut.
He had lots of drool in his face coming from that Fang licked him several times in his face, just because
he had some stone cake in his face.
His pace was slow, as he was tired, by the lack of sleep,
and the busyness in Hogwarts nowadays. He was walking on a little side road, leading him to the entrance of the castle. He walked up the stairs and walked in, because it was a beautiful weather outside, and the castle doors were open. He walked past the big doors of the great hall as he heard someone singing. ~Who is that?~ Albus thouhgt to himself not recognizing the voice.
He turned against the doors and opened them. Inside he saw Rhyme, and someone new or someone he never really had seen. And He hadn't exactly been in so much contact with this Rhyme.
Just got his name, and shaked his hand. He then noticed the way the great hall looked.
With all the tables away and a large wooden scene up there, he wondered what was going to happen.
He quickly approached the two boys and said: " Hello! What is happening here?" A bit curious, but also a bit friendly as he wanted to get some new friends. He looked at both of them trying to catch their eyes. A bad habit he had gotten into himself. Always looking into others eyes.
Rhyme threw both arms out and down as the speakers shot up with volume as more instruments joined in. When he did two jets of illusionary fire jutted from each side of trio. A guitar appeared in the center real Rhyme's hands and he began to jam on it, though none of the music actually came from it.
One night and one more time,
Thanks for the memories,
Even though they weren't so great;
"He tastes like you only sweeter"!
One night, yeah, and one more time,
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories;
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"!
Rhyme swung his hips left then right, rocking them all around to the fast paced song. His clone sang the reverb and the backup as he sang the main lines. One clone sung a tone below him, the other one above, creating harmony.
At the last line of the part he spun back, gave his clone a quick kiss on the lips as he spun behind them during the lull in the music, tapping his foot to count the beats. The clone that he kissed blushed strongly, trying to shield his eyes from the people looking. The real Rhyme didn't really care what the others thought.
The clones began the next part, with Rhyme alone singing the next, and all three singing the third all together and then going back to the normal back up parts. Rhyme stayed behind the pair for the time being, having an idea for when to come out.
Been looking forward to the future,
When my eyesight is going bad,
And this crystal ball.
It's always cloudy except for, (Except for)
When you look into the past (look into the past),
One night stand... (one night stand off),
((Rhyme can barely tell the you two are there, and can't really reply now lol. Can't sing and talk at the same time))
Molly heard someone singing, she thought they were pretty good. Actully she was pretty good herself. She saw someone on the stage, who was that. She turned to see two other people albus, and who was that, must be new. She sat down next to albus. "Do you know who this guy is, " she could almost sense that albus didn't know himself. "Hey albus, if you don't know who he is..." she pointed sli8ghtly at the other person standing in the room "what about him..........." She wondered if albus even knew who she was anymore. She hadn't seen him forever.
Aaron was studying for the tests he had coming up. He had been studying for a long while now and was quiet bored he had seen KeKe is a while so he decided to go into the forest and just walk around for a little bit so he could clear his mind.
He was walking down the stairs from his dorm and was about to go past the great hall until he heard his favorite song -thnks fr th mmrs they must be playing a radio or something it sounds almost exactly like fall out boy or maybe a little better than fall out boy- he thought to himself.
Aaron was curious to see who was singing so he walked to the entrance of the great hall and stood then -I wonder who that is well I guess it doesn't matter he has his own little crowd- Aaron thought to himself. He looked around her someone he know then he saw Molly and Albus and walked up to them "hey, he whispered who is that" he asked than noticed someone else who he didn't know and decided to see who it was so Aaron walked over to him "hey I'm Aaron" he said holding out his hand for the guy(Ryan) to shake
Thanks for the memories

"He tastes like you only sweeter"
One night, yeah, and one more time

"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"
Rhyme and his two clones each got a guitar to appear in their hands. They then started to rock on it hard, throwing their heads up and down looking odd doing to all sync. The two clone Rhyme threw the arm facing the other up, grabbing hold of each other, and spun around each flying off in different directions of the stage.
They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers
In hotel rooms collecting page six lovers
Get me out of my mind and get you out of those clothes
I'm a liner away from getting you into the mood, whoa
A spot came down on Rhyme as he walked forward, between the two clones now a distant away. The clones stopped playing as the music soften, leaving only Rhyme for the solo, though his voice was a bit altered to match the altering of the song.
The clones just bounced on their knees to the tune. At the end of the part when the note was held. Rhyme put his foot behind his other, and gave himself a good spin backward, sending visual effects of lights and illusions all around while he was spinning.
((This is how an RP should be done! Congrats to all involved! You can now shove it in the faces of the people who are unable to post decent posts!))
Noelle sung along softly with the words, her voice barely audiable. She tappen her foot with the beat, trying to keep herself from dancing. She had a pasion for music. She looked up in awe at the light effect, amazing at how Rhyme could preform so well. She started to walk closer to the stage, but stopped, seeing other people. She could be very shy sometimes. She didn't know Molly very well or Albus. She didn't know Ryan at all. So she walked back a few steps, slinking into the shadows again.
He truned around and saw Noelle "Hey you should come over here they are good aren't they.?"he asked her and smiled and walking over to her and took her hand and lead her over to whre he was befor.
Noelle shrugged her hand out of his. She wasn't confortable with romantic stuff, expecially with a guy she really didn't know. "It's okay. I'll just be over here..."
She walked back to her spot, admiring the preforance for afar once again.
"Ok."he said then walked back over to whre he was and sat down where her was siting befor he got up and he started to tap his foot to the beat of the song.
The song was over. "Awesome guys" she said laughing. they were pretty good. She kira and ryan. She knew how kira was, kinda quiet, thats all s he knew but still.
(( Sorry...Kira? A little bit confused overe here! HELP! ( Nerd moment if I should describe it... ;D )
Albus heard the song end. It had been marvelous, and now he had gotten himself a new picture of Rhyme in his head. He didn't get how people could sing that way. He was a terrible singer, and when he was singing he couldn't sing the right tone, so it was not having a melody. He started to clap his hands,
as a little thanks for the good music to Rhyme. He smiled and looked up to him.
" How do you do that?" He asked, and quickly took a look at all the others looking for their responce.
He then again turned against Rhyme, waiting for an answer.
((Ryan, not technically a one liner but still not the best that you can do. Treat a post like what you 'can' put into it not what you have to. You could go so much deeper into it, like why he was there, why he liked the music, what he was wearing at the time, there is so much to go on to just post a little 2 line thing...which spawns more.))
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you only sweeter"
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"
Rhyme and his clones stood in a line as they played normally. There was a small charge in the air as they sang, like if they were waiting for something.
One night and one more time (One more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories
even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you only sweeter"
One night, yeah, and one more time (One more night, one more time)
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"He, he tastes like you only sweeter"
All three jumped in the air, creating a show of illusionary sparks over the audience when they landed as they kicked up the energy. These sparked created a blinding effect for the audience until the end of the song where the only thing left on the stage was Rhyme.
He gave his head a quick shake back and forth as he walked to the edge of the stage and sat down. The effects still rang in his ears but they were not as bad as they could.
"I am glad you liked it everyone. I guess I can't hide that I am not your normal witch or wizard. Well, I am half of one. My father, was a wizard, but my mother was a bard, so I got a mix of their power. One of those is the ability to manipulate my vocal chords to hit any pitch I have heard before, even those normally outside a human's range"
Aaron walked over to Rhyme and Albus and looked at Rhyme "that was awesome you are one of the best people who I have heard sing that song" Aaron said well still amazed by Rhymes voice "I feel stupid for asking, But what a bard?" Aaron asked feeling quite stupid for having to ask so he looked around at the other people who was their but still waited for an answer
Noelle looked up to the stage admiringly. She was in awe of his powers. She really wanted to go up and talk to him about his powers, but she was too shy. So she put up the hood of her navy blue sweatshirt and walked to the doors. She looked back once more, then decided to go talk to him. She walked over to the stage, waiting for him to finish talking to the others.
Molly walked behind Aaron and albus, and Rhyme. She laughed at what aaron said. "you call copping yourself a band" she said smiling "no offense, i'm joking." She sighed, she could be stupid, words left her mouth that were never supposed to. "the songs good, and so are you, and ummm, them." she didn't know what he would call his, coppies, minions???
Keke walked in and heard on of her favorite songs and saw Aaron and went of to him "Hey Aaron."she said as she kissed his cheek and smiled.
Ryan turnd around and saw KeKe "Hey."he said to her."Hey Aaron."he said again.
"Hey KeKe,he said returning the kiss, Hey Ryan how are you?" he asked he didn't know what else to say so he just said that smiled and then looked back at Rhyme "You did an awesome job and so did your band" he said
Ryan looked at Aaron "Oh hye."he said he didn't know him and didn't know if he was right for Keke.
((-twitch- -twitch- Didn't I say no one-liner? -twitch-))
Rhyme laughed gently as they said how good he was/them was/were. It wasn't a scolding laughter though.
"Thanks, well...a bard is an old type of magic that has been fading out. It relies on music and song to create effects. Most bards would use a musical instrument such as a lute or a flute to use their powers instead of a wand. And those were just temporary clones, I can mostly anything with my powers but only within a song, outside mine are pretty limited." he explained to them all.
He sat on the edge of the stage, letting his legs swing over and sway back and forth unconsciously as he talked.
( ohhhhh Ryro got in trouble hehe twitch)
"Yeah you guys are great I know how to play the guitar and that is about it really."she said with a little smile and started to laugh.
Molly smiled and laughed at keke "yeah you are pretty untalented" she said laughing "joking. I used to be able to sing kinda well, I got the solo in my christmas pagent three years in a row, thats after i got to guts to sing it, there wasn't a year four cause i moved here." she smiled, "I trade solos for you guys anyday"
"Hahahah Molly you better look out I wil kill you."she said with a smile She new that Molly knew that she was joking or so she thought.
Aaron looked at Rhyme and realized he had finally aswered his question so he put his head down laughed at himself silently and then looked back up at Rhyme " So a bard is passed down from family right, so who was a bard in your family your mother or father?" Aaron asked Rhyme and walked a little closer to the stage than stopped at he looked at the clones and wondered if they would fade away or go back into Rhyme
"OK well I don't know Molly you want to hang out I have nothing else to do your any body else to haug out with just kinding but I need to talk to you."she said to her looking at her with a 'come on lets go' look.
Molly looked at keke. She folowed her, she didn't bother saying, be right back, she really didn't know anyone, and the people she did know were ignoring ehr. She flollowed keke. "So, whats up, you act like something sbugging you?" she smiled, or maybe she was killing her, joking joking, sh eloved triking her self in to beliving stupid stuff.
"I don't know it is just I don't know me and well you no haven't reall been talking and I don't know why an dthere are other things so do you want to go to out to Hogshead and talk.?.?.?.?"she added and looked at her Aaron was really not talking to her and she didn't know why but she didn't know.
(hey, rhyme probaly doesn't want us to go off in the middle of his post :) so make one about it, k and send me the name)
"Well, maybe aarons just waiting for you to talk to him, he's a verry sociable person." seh smiled tring to make keke feel better. "Lets go talk to him" she walked over to aaron, wondering if he'd talk to her. "hey, whats up" she said looking at keke.
"Yeah but I don't know But I think that this band is great it is one of my favorite songs."she said walking over there and looking at Rhyme......"Rhyme you are great."she said to him and smiled nicely to him.
Molly sighed. Keke was purposley avoding aaron, it was getting old. She stood there waitign for aaron to say something. Instead she walked away going over to keke and grsping her ear. Not in the relaxing way, but she pinched her earlobe and draged her to a acorner. "your avoiding him aren't you" she pinched even harder.
"Hey oww I was talking..."she said and then triped over a chair"That was not there befor and what do you mean I am not avoiding him he isn't talking to me so I won't talk to him."she added.
Aaron turned "Hey Molly" he said then looked around and didn't see her then realized KeKe wasn't there either he stepped away from the group and looked for Molly or KeKe or both and saw then in a corner talking he started ti take a step towards them but decided to turn back to Rhyme and waited for answer
"Ok for one let go of me and I will go over there just don't do that again it hurt..."she added and then walked back over there looking back at Molly then Aaron the her feet the back at Aaron then she rubbed her eye lope thanks to molly...
"Hey KeKe what were you and Molly talking about?" he asked her he didn't really care but he was just happy to see her but he didn't want to be rude so he turned back to Rhyme and waited for answer
"Oh we wern't talk really about anything she is just blonde sometimes....but hey I have to talk to you...later."she said.
"okay" Aaron said looking at KeKe -where at and when- he thought to her. Then turned back to Rhyme he was getting tired so waiting but didn't want to leave yet
~ The lake and at say 10 pm by the tree~she sent him back and went and sat down.
-okay- he sent her and jumped up on stage and started looking at the equipment. He was amazed at what types of guiters he had and that he had enough money to buy this many of them.
She laughed at him.."You know you are like a little kid when you are aound guitars."she joked and smiled.She was happy rightnow hanging out with every body here and she felt so bubbly.
Molly was getting mad at keke, now... wait aaron talked to her. She walked over to him "hey, sorry bout that, i had to tell keke something." she smiled at him "Hey..... I'm gonna go talk to Rhyme" she smiled. She walked over to the stage. "wow, your really good, how long have you sang, or played or cordinted it all at the same time." he was really good. Even though she didn't know his song verry well, he made it sound like she knew it, and thats all that counted
She got mad and walked over to Molly..."Comeone Molly need to have a little convosatoin."she said takeing her by the nosie..."So what are you doing that was mean and hey Umm I got two go."she said as she walked over to Aaron.."Soo Aaron how good are you at the guitar?"she said as she looked at him and smiled.
Molly ignored keke and kept looking a Rhyme. She used to sing, and she played hte flute once, otherwise she had not musical ability. She weasn't overly upset at her loss of musical ability. Oh well its not something thats going to ruin her life. Even though inside she kinda envied Rhymes musical abilitys.
*actully true story, in real life molly plays the drums, and i'm not half bad, but i'm totally tone deaf, also i played r ecorder when i was young.*
"Oh well I'm pretty good but not near as good as Rhyme is I mean did you see how he sang and played and it sounded awesome and his clones were wicked I mean I could have never done that" Aaron said and smiled as he picked up one of the guiters and looked over the strings "Hey Rhyme I think one of your strings are about to break on this one" he said looking closer at it then realized it was just the way the strings were on that guiter "Oh nevermind" he said quickly then sat it down
"Oh ok then that is good..."she said to to him and smiled at him and then walked back over to Molly and smiled at her as if she new someting that she didn't know but the laughed she was haveign a great day today and she was smileing almost every minute at every one but she chouldn't help it she ws just happy for some odd reson but oh well that was her....................
