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.

[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!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

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

[heavenscorpse]

That's amazing. They must work very hard.

[harpbeat]

You're terribly kind.

[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]

Bandmates have to look out for each other!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Yeah, they're always putting out new singles.

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

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Oooooh, Bunny in the Box is cute!

[harpbeat]

I shall be sure to do the same for you all if I can.

[heavenscorpse]

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

[heavenscorpse]

I wonder how they get everyone to come to rehearsal.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Right! Now we're all a team!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Some of the really big groups split into smaller bands sometimes, and then they just get back together for the big shows.

[harpbeat]

Oh, it feels good to be part of a group again.

[theheirofbreath]

Isn't it?

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

[heavenscorpse]

How big must those be?

[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.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

Morning Musume had 16 at one point, but Hello Project is even bigger than that!

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

How's the electric harp working out for you? Is it much different from your other one?

[heavenscorpse]

We should be fine if it's just us.

[theheirofbreath]

We could definitely do other kinds. It actually sounds kind of neat when you say it that way.

[that scene is the most dramatic one in the movie after all. Putting bunnys in boxes can be serious business.]

[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!
