I Wanna Rock and Roll All Night~ ♪♫

[bad_crowmance]

Who: Imeeji's Newest Band and YOU
Where: Parking Garage near the hotel
When: Day 322, evening (possibly forward-dated a few hours so other posts can go up)

[ Good evening, Imeeji! I hope you weren’t hoping for a peaceful and quiet night. Because there are noise crimes in effect and they’re not stopping any time soon.

The “stage” is just inside the parking garage of the hotel. It’s already been “decorated” accordingly by the performers-- There’s speakers, microphones, and velvet “curtains” have been hung along the edges of the open door to frame the center of attention-- namely, the musicians taking their places. Spotlights have been arranged on nearby rooftops to illuminate the band.

[ d.va is a literal fucken diva tonight, sitting behind a bitching set of pink drums with some sort of snake rabbit *thing* painted on the front. behind her, there’s an obnoxious assortment of fireworks, and it looks like the fuse miiiight just be connected to the bass pedal… ]

Hey out there-! I hope you’re ready for a good fucken time, because my friends and I are here to put on one hell [ wink. ] of a show! [ KABOOM, and the first of many fireworks goes off~ ]

[ Ordine is on bass guitar, hair swept out of his eyes by one of those bandanas he often wears as a headband. He’s got a leather getup on tonight, and after d.VA speaks, he plays a riff and then points out to the crowd. His eyes are sparkling with excitement as he shouts out, his voice carrying clearly through the speakers. ]

That’s right, it’s time for the performance of a lifetime— so you’d better be ready to get hyped! Because we’re “Leather and Lace” and we’re gonna rock your world!

[ His proclamation is punctuated by a blast of fireworks going off behind them, perfectly timed. ]

[Lily is here with a purple and black electric guitar, her make up much more dramatic than usual. She shreds her guitar before the fireworks go off, a siren to herald their arrival, cheering vivaciously and cackling as they pop. Oh, she is already having the time of her life.]

[ Serenity stands center stage with nothing but a hand-held microphone. Compared to the others she looks a bit timid to start-- although some part of that may be the outfit that she’s been fitted with. But once things get started, she finds her confidence. ]

We have a few songs to sing for you, but don’t be shy. Make some noise of your own!

(( ooc: It’s a BE=DE, BARiTONES and HSS joint live. And despite the noise levels, we’ve got love songs going on here, so don’t forget your Romance theme bonus! However, those willing and able to offer their own contributions as co-hosts have the option to sign up below and let us know what you’re up to!

♪♫ Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit lonely
And you're never coming round
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit tired
Of listening to the sound of my tears
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit nervous
That the best of all the years have gone by
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified
And then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart ♪♫

♪♫ And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight ♪♫

♪♫ Once upon a time I was falling in love
Now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart ♪♫

♪♫ Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit restless
And I dream of something wild
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit helpless
And I am lying like a child in your arms
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit angry
And I know I've got to get out and cry
Turn around, every now and then I get a little bit terrified
But then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turn around bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart ♪♫

[ After the performance, you can fine Ordine leaning against a wall (possibly a pillar for the garage), smiling and tuning his bass guitar. ]

Now that's a show!

[justfuckingtryit]

[Lbr, he is not nearly rowdy enough for a show like this, but he is there and he is watching]

Re: Commiting Crimes - Disturbing the Peace

[420blazeit]

[ bumps shoulders with him after the show. ] Think we had enough fireworks? [ chuckles. ]

[overworker]

Heehee... not bad for our debut performance.

[flawandorder]

That was quite the spectacle if I do say so myself.

[overworker]

[ For a song of her choosing, Serenity is enjoying the limelight, offering a rock rendition of a song she remembers from home. They've just given it their own fierce flavor. But at it's core it's still a really deeply emotional song, one that she puts her whole heart into, with the rest of the band backing her up. During the song, she makes a point of singing parts to both Lily and Ordine. ]

Brightly shooting stars, leaving trails in the skies
Like a guiding light, they show me the way to your eyes
This yearning passion, tears my heart in twain
And the cruel moon mocks my pain
If this fleeting dream shall never be
A single wound will remain in my heart for all to see
Our passionate first and final kiss
Your tears to me are an amber bliss
Let us immure this eternal love
The sun shines, a rainbow bridge
I cross it to reach you
And yet as I search it fades into the sky
Lonely, the wind sings
If this wish is doomed to fade without ever coming true
Then may it leave at least a scar
My first promise, a promise I cannot keep
I keep your breath encased in amber
Sealing within this eternal dream
Brightly shooting stars, leaving trails in the skies
Like a guiding light, they show me the way to your eyes
The sun shines, a rainbow bridge
I cross it to reach you
And the cruel moon mocks my pain
Lonely, the wind sings
Only the sealed pain
is the proof of this eternal love

[ During the performance she'll encourage others to sing along or give their own little performances if they'd like. Afterwards... well, she's coming down from the adrenaline high.]

Whew... never thought I'd do anything like that again.

[romanticlove]

You were amazing!

[Hi, it's your favorite vampire just admiring you.]

[justfuckingtryit]

[Lbr, he is not nearly rowdy enough for a show like this, but he is there and he is watching]

[failedsafe]

And now for a Leather and Lace original work! It's called Belladonna Love and penned by yours truly~♥ There ain't no antidote for these beats so make your peace with your maker!

[The song is a sultry thing with plenty of bass and a deep drumbeat. There's a high focus on vocals which are sung pretty salaciously, creating a complex harmony with Lily's deeper voice and Serenity's higher one. It is also a duet.

It sweats sex, basically. How's that for romance?]

Whoa--Ooh la la~♪

My pupils dilate at the sight of you
Heartrate going boom boom boom
Colours become fireworks
And as I sweat you just smirk
The world is spinning and I can't come down
Because you're in my blood right now

I want your belladonna love (belladonna love)
Oh, I want your belladonna love (belladonna love)
Black sugar kisses on my skin
Is the best kind of poison
Please, please give me more
(Wrap me in silk until I'm sore)
Please, please give me more
(If this ain't love then it's sure war)
Your lips set my heart alight
So let's drown in the dark tonight

You dot those i's and cross those t's
Do everything to make me weak
Drag me down by the neck
At your feet, I'm just a speck
In my eyes dances your fire
And I will burn on your pyre

I want your belladonna love (belladonna love)
Oh, I want your belladonna love (belladonna love)
Black sugar kisses on my skin
Is the best kind of poison
Please, please give me more
(Wrap me in silk until I'm sore)
Please, please give me more
(If this ain't love then it's sure war)
Your lips set my heart alight
So let's drown in the dark tonight

I want your belladonna love (belladonna love)
Oh, I want your belladonna love (belladonna love)
Black sugar kisses on my skin
Is the best kind of poison
Please, please give me more

Please, please give me more
(If this ain't love then it's sure war)
Your lips set my heart alight
So let's drown in the dark tonight

I want your belladonna love (belladonna love)
I want your belladonna love (belladonna love)

[And after you can find Lily chillin' all over the place really.]

Ahhhhhh~! So much fun!

[justfuckingtryit]

[Lbr, he is not nearly rowdy enough for a show like this, but he is there and he is watching]

[weenwoon]

[Actually he's so grateful now to Cosmo for having given him the mask that he could actually put on his face after Lily winks at him. He's dead? He's dead.

Levity is just, gonna try, to find Lily after the concert itself surreptitiously and sidle over when there aren't too many people around.]

You know, I would have expected a change of perspective in your song.

SONG EDITS PLEASE DON'T REPLY

[failedsafe]

((ooc: my dumbass edited a bit. it's here if you care! enjoy! :D))

[420blazeit]

I still can't believe you wrote your own song for this. [ ... ] Ok, no, I can, but it's still freaking amazing and I'm still floored. You're incredible, Lily.

[flawandorder]

[Afterwards--]

Your talents continue to awe and inspire. I'm beginning to wonder if there's anything you cannot do.

[420blazeit]

[ she's not singing tonight! but she DID play the drums for each of the songs and can be caught afterward hanging out by the equipment drinking from a bottle of water, because she's exhausted~ ]

Man, that had been a blast~

[justfuckingtryit]

I didn't know you played the drums.

[gigadevilbreaker]

Yo, that was awesome!

How come you didn't join in on the singing, though? I know you got pipes.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Dude, that was sweet.

[romanticlove]

Dva that was so cool...!! I wish I could play an instrument like that.

[Her mother played the cello, her father could definitely play both piano and violin. She had no idea if she could do any of those things. It would probably sound bad.]

[awakenerd]

[He's absolutely here to cheer everyone on.]

Great performances everyone!

[bad_crowmance]

[ He winks at Phoenix. ]

Glad you enjoyed the show!

[kingofexplodokills]

Like hell that's a concert! You guys ain't even making enough noise!

[heavenlyvisitor]

Ah-- Welcome back.

[bondsofsuffering]

[Adding his own Live in-]

Heeeeh, so much talent!

[He almost blends in, with his alternate outfit for the day.]

[bad_crowmance]

[ He grins and gives him a two-fingered salute. ]

Same goes to you!
