amanda & rich video post: move your feet

(Amanda’s sitting behind a worn, black drumkit when the feed starts. She grins stupidly as she begins a drumroll to reveal: RICH! Rich, ever the showoff, plays a fancy riff on his guitar that poor Amanda has had to hear him practice for hours before their post went live, just to make sure that he could actually manage it. He poses after playing the last note with his arms up in the air and his tongue out, flipping devil horns to an imaginary audience.)

We are starting a band, me and Rich. We need a few people though, otherwise we’d just be ripping off the White Stripes and Rich is too young to be my ex-husband.

We're looking for a bassist, primarily, but a pianist or other singers would be great too. Managed to snag a couple cheap instruments at this weird mall we've got right now, so don't worry about bringing your own. Give us a shout if you wanna audition, and then get ready to hear non-stop music on Svelte Radio from The Firecrackers!

(Amanda gives him a Look.)

... Band name negotiable.





ooc: either rich and/or amanda will reply, threadjack away~!

Yeah, I like it! Explosions are fun. Especially pretty ones! Though I don't know why my daddy doesn't want me playing with fireworks.

Ha, knew it was good! Amanda thinks it sounds dumb.

But firecrackers are fun!

Totally! I think she's just being a spoilsport.

[Adorabat gasps, delighted.]

We should play with some fireworks!
violence_ensues: (Excited)

[Adorabat begins gushing/hero worshipping Mao Mao, sating he's an adventurer and a hero and is so cool and etc etc etc and she's probably not going to stop until someone tells her to stop.]

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2021-05-13 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
It's nice to meet you, Amanda! You're fun!
violence_ensues: (Curious)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2021-05-14 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Huh? Why?

[Curious Adorabat is curious.]
violence_ensues: (Worried)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2021-05-14 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[That actually causes Adorabat a concern.]

Why do they do that?
violence_ensues: (Curious)

[personal profile] violence_ensues 2021-05-15 04:04 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you can stop saying things without thinking then?

[Adorabat thinks it's that easy.]

Then why don't you like my super cool band name?

Hmm. Plausible Mutations sounds cool, but I don't know if it's snappy enough.

The Invisible Band sounds super lame!

I'll gladly engage in fisticuffs with you to protect the band's integrity!

I don't know who you're going to find who can beat me!

Starting a band, huh? I'm typically a singer and a guitarist, but I can probably fill in for just about whatever you need. Gonna need some time to practice on anything past my time though.

well if we get big enough we might need a second guitarist!
and hey we can swap on doing vocals depending on the song
just as long as you dont end up charming our whole fanbase!

Well, I can't really help it if I do, now can I?

So when and where are auditions? I'd want to get some practice in before I try to jump in.

End of the week... well, I'm busy with the Hex kitchen right now, but the NPCs might come back. If we're still here by then, I'll figure something out.
