Members of the band that has no name. « Thread Started on Dec 10, 2007, 5:20pm »
((ISO: Band Members only OOC: the title of the thread was made before a band name was derived. I loved the title so it sticks. Band's name is in the thread)).
Bas finally escaped the thresholds of schoolwork and punishment. At home when he needed an escape, Bas often would slip into the garage where he could pound on drums loudly. The noise blocked out his father’s voice and often it helped keep the man a good distance away. Yes, he could escape into the family room, but the meaning of that room was for everyone. His bedroom was no retreat since Donovan had all the right to burst in at any moment. After all, they did share the room. Thank god for the upper bunk, Bas could put pictures of girls on cars in bikinis high up so no one would notice them.
Sebastian went to the seventh floor opposite the tapestry. His mind was flooded of thoughts of just banging continuously on a drum until his own need to scream and punch a wall was sufficed. He thought of the place to play music, and after three passes opposite the portrait of Barnabas the balmy teaching trolls to dance the ballet, a door revealed itself. Bas entered carrying in the only witness to his disappearance, his cat Mr. Bean.
Inside the room, the room had several instruments including a guitar, a keyboard, and a set of drums which were all smack dab in the middle of the room. Other instruments were scattered about in case the band had learned new instruments over the summers or acquired new members. Bas put Mr. Bean down on the ground and sat behind the drums he pouned out for nearly five minutes straight. He began singing, “Malfoy might be rich and his daughter is a bitch, and my dad always yells, and that’s why Hogwarts smells.” Bas was the kind of musician who when alone enjoyed parodies or making songs about his life and adding a comic twist to it. But the drums seemed lonely after about 10 minutes.
Bas grabbed Mr. Bean and attached a note to his collar. The boy didn’t have a pet owl, so he couldn’t airmail his note to Cassidy. Instead, he had to pray the cat would go into the Gryffindor common room and find Cassidy. His cat was no kneezle, nor was it intelligent in any way, but it only would let those who Bas seemed friendly to it come close enough to pet. This meant the note was safe from Slytherin hands. Bas opened the door and scooted the cat out. Bas shouted up to Gryffindor. So far the cat went up, the stairs, but after that where did it go.
The note read:
Cassidy/Nikki,
I’m in the room, rocking out. Come join the party. There will be Chocolate Frogs and Butterbeer for you.
Sebastian
The note might have been cryptic, but the less information the better.

"Bum, bum, bumbumbum, woooo hoooo!" Nikki hopped through the door of the girls bathroom, singing as loud as she could and not very well, holding an invisible mic up to her lips. "Thank you New York!" She scrunched her face and said, "All right! You guys rock!" Finished with her performance, Nikki recomposed herself and began her long walk back to the Hufflepuff common room. She remained quiet for most of the way, occasionally breaking out into songs which ranged from blues to metal. It was all good. Eventually she cooled it down to a quiet hum, her fingers drumming the air in a silent beat. Many she needed to watch how many cookies she ate at lunch.
Quick movement at the end of the hall caught her eye. "Hello, what's this?" She asked herself. Forgetting about her experiences with mysterious dangers over the summer, Nikki headed straight for it. The small thing zipped by again, this time going the other direction. Being as small as it was, Nikki was sure it wasn't a zombie or vampire or any of those other dangerous creatures she was supposed to learn about in Defense class. It zipped by again, but this time Nikki was ready for it. She reached out and snatched it from the ground. Oo soft and furry! The four legged critter wriggled until it saw who had snagged it. Then it mewed.
"Oh! Mr. Bean! I knew you were a demon," she said with a smile. The cat mewed again. Nikki adjusted her grip on the cat so one hand was holding his back legs while her other hand sat under his front ones. It was during this process she noticed a note attached to his collar. "What's this?" She opened the note and read it. "Excellent!" she said, her Californian accent slipping out. "I wonder if this has made it's way to Cass..." Nikki looked at her surroundings, they were pretty far from the Gryffindor tower. Maybe not. "All right, kitty, let's get you on the right track to home." Nikki make a left, then a right, then another right, then a left, then up and down several stairs until she got to the tower with all the crazy stairs that led to the Gryffindor tower. She set Mr. Bean down, wished him the best of luck and made her way to the seventh floor. It was as she reached the painting that she realized the cat wouldn't be able to make it into the Gryffindor common room without the password. Oops. Well he wouldn't have had better luck if he'd stayed with her.
She found the painting of Barnabus, made three passes in front of the wall and entered the Room of Requirement when the door appeared. She always loved this room. It was purely and accident when she'd stumbled upon it the first time during her second year. She had been crying because of her father and sister and had been looking for a place that would make her happy. The door appeared and led to a room filled with stuff animals and candy. Best day of her life.
"I have arrived," Nikki announced as she stepped into the room, swinging her arm about like a Diva making a grand entrance, "I hope you haven't been waiting long." Nikki smiled before gasping. "Oo! Look at all the goodies!" She ran to the keyboard until she saw a pipe organ hidden in the very back. "This room so rocks!"
(ooc: Sorry it's jumpy and hyper, Nikki's very excited)

Bas was bent over trying to stop the crash cymbal at the top of the drum to stop vibrating. It wouldn’t have been so difficult if Nikki hadn’t bounded in unexpectedly. He was startled by her entrance and slipped forward and his nose crashed right into the cymbal. His hooked nose was in a bit of pain as he tried to straighten up. In the background of it all the vibrating cymbal still gave off a distant noise as it slowly faded away.
Bas looked up and groaned out, “no,” as he gingerly rubbed his nose. She went on about some goodies, but Bas knew there wasn’t any food in the room, least not yet. But his eyes widened in horror as she headed for the pipe organ. The instrument conjured images of those Sundays his Grams dragged him off to church dressing him in those god awful outfits that the old ladies thought were cute. Bas and Donovan would be dressed exactly alike while Tori and Tristan had similar outfits so they all matched. The start of service, on those days, was led by the huge pipe organ followed by a woman who thought she was an opera singer. The whole ordeal sent shivers through a guy whose sole idea of music was rock ‘n’ roll and non-matching cute suits.
Bas lept over to Nikki with his hands folded in prayer, “please, I beg you. No, I implore you to not touch a key on that ancient piece of equipment. You know organs have no business in rock.” Somehow his begging wasn’t going to stop Nikki, she seemed all to eager to hear it sound. Only thing he could now hope for was a small miracle or Cassidy walking in. Mentally Bas thought, ‘if there is some higher being who guards the little folk,” that was ironic since Bas was quite tall, “make Cassidy walk in now, have the organ self combust, or make the organ have no sound. Anything… to prevent Nikki from playing that instrument.’ Somehow it all seemed futile and Nikki was going to play the pipe organ.
It wasn’t that she couldn’t play an instrument. Heck, Nikki was awesome on keyboards and sometimes even guitar, but pipe organs just weren’t Bas’s cup of tea. How do you explain going to church, being suffered by music that neither would lull you to sleep or keep you awake, and being dragged in outfits that seemed perfect on dolls than on actual children? Bas covered his ears to prevent the instruments sound from hurting his tender ears.
