Band Meeting!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Who: Sakurako Shiina, Eater, Elsie de Lute Ima, Madoka Kugimiya, V/V, John Egbert, Tamamo, Nero
What: First band meeting!
When: Backdated to the weekend.
Where: Sakurako's dorm room, for lack of anywhere better.
Warnings: Presumably none. Action tags and threadjacking ahoy. Backtagging forever is also cool. No thread order, because that would be nightmarish.
Status: Closed to band members.

Okay, everyone!  Welcome to the first band meeting!  For anyone who doesn't know anyone else, I'll introduce everybody!

[Sakurako goes around the room in a circle, gesturing to each band member present and introducing them by name and position.  Sakurako on drums, Eater on harp, Elsie on bass, Madoka on lead guitar, V/V on rhythm guitar, John on keyboard, Tamamo for choreography and dance moves, and Nero for band manager stuff.  And of course, whoever wants to be on vocals pretty much can, as there are microphones aplenty.]

Now, first order of business!  We have to decide what kind of sound we want our band to have, and also come up with a name!  Once we've done that, we can start writing songs!

It's fine if I'm only present in certain songs. Harps are less versatile than some other instruments.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

We'll find a way to work you in as much as we can!

[harpbeat]

You're terribly kind.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Bandmates have to look out for each other!

[heavenscorpse]

We have such a large band! I didn't know there were this many people.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

It's okay! Some bands back home have even more than this!

[heavenscorpse]

That's amazing. They must work very hard.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Yeah, they're always putting out new singles.

[Because lol Morning Musume used to have like thirty members or something.]

[theheirofbreath]

So for band names... what do you guys think of either 'International Treasure' or 'Bunny in the Box?'

[You can all feel free to think that John Egbert is a huge loser.]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Oooooh, Bunny in the Box is cute!

[theheirofbreath]

Isn't it?

[It's also a Con Air reference. /neeeeeerd ]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

[She will never know this reference unless he specifically educates her on it.]

Yeah! I think it's a definite front-runner!

[heavenscorpse]

I think Bunny in the Box would be a great name.

[theheirofbreath]

Yeah, I figured that we're probably gonna lean toward more upbeat music in the end anyway. So it's good to have an upbeat sounding name.

[heavenscorpse]

I wonder if we could still do other kinds, though. "This song is 'Tragedy' by Bunny in the Box," they'll say.

[kugimin]

'Bunny in the Box'?

...I guess that works. I mean, it sounds like some kind of name for one of those indie hipster bands, you know? And with a harp and piano and mixing in classical music, that kinda fits.

Though we might want to think of some other names to use in case that doesn't seem to work later.

Something like....um....Directional Roku? Niji Eights?

...I'm not good at band names.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Directional Roku? What the heck is that?

[Yeah, just laughing it up over here.]

[lyres]

[Nero is leaning on a wall, watching the band do band things. It's too soon to try and enlighten this young souls -well, most of them are young souls- so for the time being she will play big sister if needed.

So yeah, leaning on a wall, like a cool kid. Go at her sisters.]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

What do you think of the name John thought of? Bunny in the Box is pretty cute, huh?

[lyres]

[OVERFLOWING CUTENESS.]

I wonder...what kind of music shall you play? The name should reflect that too, if only marginally.

[Playing it cool over here.]

[moedemon]

U-um, I'm not very good at writing music but I remember some songs the band I'm in back home has played before.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

That works too! You should play the bass lines for us sometime.

[kugimin]

I think we should just see about mixing what we know into a coherent sound!

I bet that will make us figure out a band name as well!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Yeah, you're probably right. Well, we'll figure it out!

[kugimin]

So what is everyone use to playing normally, anyways?
