27th Note

[thewildone]

[Video/Action]

[Curt Wild has something to prove, and that something is that he rocks harder than anyone else, no matter how cursed they are. He also is proving that he looks the best in tight silver pants. The concert is somewhat thrown together considering the band mostly formed the day before, but on the other hand there are suddenly plenty of people able to handle the business end of things and he was able to take his pick of musicians. This is, now, the moment of truth, as he attempts to get through a slower and grungier song than normal, the one he never quite finished recording after that last fight with Brian,the one he forgot during that month of memory loss. There  is, surprisingly, no glitter in evidence. Less surprisingly, neither is Curt's shirt.]

Take my hand
Come on and take it now
Take my hand
Let’s get unreal
Come with me
Oh won’t you come?
Come with me
And we’ll find some kind of thrill
Some other thrill
To make it all unreal
All unreal

[ooc: The concert post, as promised here. I just got back from vacation so there will be a lot of backdating because I'm exhausted. Band members  Campbell Bain, Stephen Stills, Mai, and Demyx  plusHanna using fire which I'm sure will totally end well. Very much open to audience members whether groupies or hecklers.]

[Hanna is, of course, extremely careful and good with the pyrotechnics. This can only end in tears, you guys.]

Okay...okay, shoot, I don't remember my cue...when am I supposed to let the lasers loose again...I should just do it now...

[totallyinaband]

Dude, if you miss the cue for the fireballs again, you are so fired.

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Aaah, don't pressure me! Don't pressure me!!

[Because you pressured him, he pushes the button for the fireballs RIGHT NOW.]

[thewildone]

[It's probably almost helpful then, that Curt pulls away from the mike as a more uptempo song begins and shouts.]

Where are my fucking lasers?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[Oh thank god there he goes. LASERS ACTIVATE. Here, have a crapload of lasers.]

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

[Demyx is, of course, stationed next to the tech guy for a few songs. He doesn't like that uncertainty. Tech guys are supposed to know their cues. Especially when their cues involve setting off fires and lasers. He whispers at him during the solos, because it's not like he has anything to do during them, through the side of his mouth.]

Hanna, what do you mean you don't remember your cues? Didn't you write them down?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[He remembers them! He's just nervous, but he's got them now.]

I do know them, I'm just nervous, hold on...

[He then does his job.]

[hatersbehatin.livejournal.com]

Hmpt.

[She talks to everyone in the room, but is looking over as Hanna when she speaks.]

I still don't think this is a good idea. He's not even a fire bender.

[Which, in her mind, makes him completely incompetent with the job given to him.]

[thewildone]

He's not a what now?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Hey...I don't need to be a firebender to kick ass at pyrotechnics!

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

Aah, go on, Hanna!!!

[Campbell is impatient. He makes his way quickly over to Hanna, and takes a quick break from playing to MASH A LOT OF BUTTONS. HE HAS NO PATIENCE AND HE IS VERY IMPULSIVE SO.....woo?]

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

[He laughs and then rolls his eyes.]

Dude, you're gonna set everybody on fire.

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

[Campbell is dressed like he thinks cool is supposed to look. Which, as he's a weird kid from the '90s, involves an acid wash jean jacket and black jeans. There is absolutely no common fashion with this group. But, presumably (hopefully), it's part of their charm.

He's got an obviously second-hand electric guitar, magically, curse-induced, that he's playing fairly decent rhythm guitar with.

He clearly CLEARLY thinks he looks really cool. Poor, disillusioned gangly kid.]

[thewildone]

[The important thing is that Campbell brought his hair. Curt approves Campbell's hair--it is enticingly floppy. And hey, at least he's not dressed like a cultist. He just looks so very, very young that Curt finds it hard to believe that he himself was ever that young, back when the Rats first got together.

Occasionally, between songs, Curt will not so subtly point out someone in the crowd.]

What about her, she's cute.

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

[And Campbell will lean in to try and follow the sightline of the pointing arm. The downside of this, of course, being, that the girl has no idea why Curt is pointing at her]

Aye, she is...will she stay around, do you think? [He winks at her. She doesn't scream. Oh well. Maybe she can't see him properly.]

[hatersbehatin.livejournal.com]

[Mai can't really dis on him for his attire. She is wearing a ton of zippers, chains, belts, leather and lace, so she really shouldn't be judging what anyone else is wearing. But. When he stands in front of her drums, she does give him a once over and smirks a bit.]

That jacket... seriously?

watching this live taping

[orangetoughguy]

Holy shit.

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

[Getting a good look? Because Time Bomb is totally rocking out; they're passionately playing their instruments, focused, the lyrics are moving, and the notes are enticing. They're very On tonight. Not that they've been Off ever, of course, but this is definitely one of their better shows.

And most of the pyrotechnics are even on cue.]

[thewildone]

[Curt tries to play to the camera and not just the live audience, but he can't help but focus on the one providing the most immediate feedback. When he takes a break for a quick drink of water he can't help quickly flicking through Network responses and grinning.]

....omg someday I will actually get this right and STOP EDITING. >.>

[loonyandproud.livejournal.com]

[Did you want a guitar being played right into your screen? Well, that is what you are getting, HI, NETWORK, HI, CAMPBELL SEES YOU THERE, HAVE HIM RIGHT UP IN YOUR BUSINESS A WHOLE LOT.]

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

[Demyx, having gotten explicit instructions from Curt, is surprisingly not in his Organization coat, but is n a white t-shirt with musical notes on it, and black pants. This has been his normal attire this weekend, except for one minor difference. The pants which are, of course, covered lightly in glitter. Not as much as Curt usually has, and every piece was done against his will.

Not that you can tell that, as he's currently almost completely absorbed in playing his sitar on stage. He's into it, when he plays, but he's grinning like crazy. He is also keeping slight eye out for the lasers.]

[thewildone]

[Curt is unsure about the t-shirt, but Demyx is trying at least. Also, he knows he has at least one musician he can count on even if they accidentally keep playing until midnight. He may be willing to roll with the weekend craziness, but he has enough uncursed mind to know this is temporary. Still, it feels good and he returns Demyx's grin--with the grin of someone who knows they are getting away with something ridiculous, because in his happiest moments onstage that's how he feels.]

[totallyinaband]

[Stephen is hanging out near the far side of the stage. He's wearing a pretty spiffy western shirt (actually ironed this time!) jeans, and heavy boots. His hair's been slightly more artfully spiked rather than it's usual mess. At some point, he may have got some glitter on him, but not on purpose.

He's totally rocking out on his bass, too. Totally focused, getting right into the music, acting like he's forgotten they're even being watched.]

[sitaronthewater.livejournal.com]

[Demyx is stationed on the other side of the stage, and he's in the back for practically most of the songs, so throughout the performance he's got a good view of the drummer's podium, and during song changes or when they can move freely about the stage, he can see Stephen pretty well. He flashes a grin, and sticks out his tongue at him, attempting to be rock, but without the hand symbol it pretty much comes out as just sticking his tongue out.]

[thewildone]

[They are definitely one of the most mismatched bands ever but Curt decides he doesn't care. It can be part of a Statement, or something, and anyway they're on stage so it doesn't matter. Unlike Stephen, he can't ignore the audience, it's the whole point--the main thing that feeds his frenetic energy. Well, that and the other members of the band. It's not like he's trying to distract Stephen, but he can't help sidling over to all the members of the band during instrumental sections and giving them gigantic shit-eating grins because this is awesome isn't it?]
