Shibusen's gym was filled with excited murmuring and the sound of chairs scraping against the hardwood floor as people quickly filed in and took seats around the makeshift stage that had been set up in the center of the room. Standing on that stage and smiling brightly at the assembled crowd of students was the newest student of Shibusen and famous celebrity, Sonia Hibiki. In front of Sonia was a microphone, with which she helped direct late arrivals to empty seats until the gym was completely full from the chairs to the bleachers and even all the standing room was taken up. The singer the nodded a signal to the volunteers who were manning the door, who closed the doors and stood in front of them, preventing anyone else from entering the already full room. As she gave the crowd a few moments to quiet down and get settled in, she glanced over at the front row, where she had reserved some seats for Sophie, Ryou, and a few others she had met who had expressed interest in auditioning. She smiled at the small group, but resisted the urge to wave at them in the interest of avoiding the appearance of bias. Finally, the room was more or less quiet and ready to hear the idol speak. Adjusting the mic down to her mouth, Sonia shouted, "Good morning Shibusen!" The crowd cheered, and Sonia gave them a few seconds before holding her hands up to request quiet. When she had the room more or less quiet again, she continued her introductory speech, "As I'm sure all of you know, I'm Song Hibiki! I just enrolled in this great school the other day, and I felt like I had to to something to kinda break the ice. So naturally, I thought of holding a concert." Once again the room erupted into cheers, forcing Sonia to wait until they were quieting down before continuing her thought. "But! But doing just a normal concert wouldn't be anything special now would it? And a school like this deserves something really special, don't you think?" This time the resulting cheer had a discernible pattern of affirmative responses, except for a few jokesters who were quickly silenced by those sitting next to them. "So I got to thinking, what would be something special I could do in honor of Shibusen? And then one of my wonderful new friends," Sonia gestured in the general direction of Sophie, "Suggested a brilliant idea to me: Let some of the students perform on stage with me!" Another cheer louder than any before it filled the gymnasium, actually causing a little bit of feedback from Sonia's mic. When it began to subside, the singer smiled and said, "And that's why you're all here, isn't it? To audition for the chance to do just that!" The cheering, which never actually completely died down, got louder again. "Now we've got a lot of people to audition and not much time to do it in! So if you'll all wait patiently until your name is called and move as quickly but orderly as possible, we can maybe be done in time for lunch!" With that, Sonia moved over to the table off to the side of the stage, where Hanekoma was already seated. As she approached, the manager muttered to Sonia, "I still don't think this is a good idea, Song. But it's gone too far to take it back now, so I'll go along with it." With a warm smile, the singer replied, "I knew you'd see it my way, Neko-kun!" As her manager frowned deeper, Sonia seated herself next to him and looked over the extensive list of candidates in front of her. Trying not to pull a wry face at the prospect of sitting through so many auditions, she looked at the first few names. She also glanced at the checklist of positions available. It had already been decided that only five people would be allowed on stage, including both Sonia and Ryou, so it had also been decided that auditions would be handled three at a time.

Phoebe walked into the gym with an air of confidence today. Finally, a chance to use her skills she had been practicing for so long! With her magenta electric guitar slung over her shoulder, and her fox snoring loudly in her shirt, she sat down in the front row. Placing the amp she had brought in case Song wasn't supplying them on her side, she peered the crowd to see vaguely what she was up against. "This might be harder than I thought Nico." she whispered to her pet. There were lots of determined people around her. Oh well! Phoebe thought, Just more talented people I could be playing alongside! Always seeing the bright side, she put on a smile and emitted her soul wavelength more than before. The meister hoped her positive aura would have a nice effect on the celebrity. Sonia said that they would have everything done neatly, and that everyone would have to wait their turn. So, in the meantime, the guitarist slided the bright yellow strap to her back, bringing the guitar forward. Admiring her beautiful instrument, she then proceeded to practice some chords before her time to shine. The sunset-ette really did have a unique guitar. Her pick was naturally a pretty pinkish sun setting on a beach horizon and the strings on the fierce magenta guitar were pitch black, creating a brilliant contrast of colors, all in all. Yes, that electric guitar had cost quite a pretty penny. Hopefully soon she would be able to use it to entertain a crowd instead of just for a lullaby to Nico every night. |

Brade entered the gym looking a bit confused but otherwise cheerful. Looking around he noticed that quite a few people had shown up. He shrugged his shoulders. "I must be late." he said to himself. The the strap of his guitar case dug into his shoulder a bit so he adjusted it slightly. He walked over to an empty seat, and plopped himself down. Unzipping the guitar bag he peaked inside to make sure his classic Gibson EB-0 was still fine, seeing as he had bumped it against a few things on the way to the gym. It was fine for the most part. Brade wasn't used to playing the bass but he had been told he was good at it and he figured that it would be a nice change of pace from his normal guitar. For the most part, he payed attention when Sonia got on stage and started speaking. Something about waiting till you where called. With that Brade leaned back in his chair and waited. |

Filing into the large auditorium, the Shibusen students were all excited. Sonia Hibiki was actually one of them! A student, in Shibusen! They all chattered amongst themselves excitedly about why they were forced to come here and what was going on and about that hot chick in the corner and that dreamy guy in the front row and so on and so forth. Ryou, almost totally muting the room due to its loudness via her ear-muff headphones, was no different, she was psyched. The brunette herself had met the singer and became friends during a chance meeting in an internet café. She had offered an idea (jokingly) about her air-guitaring on-stage during her next concert. Sonia had actually accepted, and seemed…excited about it. Most would cower at the idea, but Ryou isn’t most, as you know. She would jump at it. So, taking a seat in the front that was reserved for her, she grinned at the singer as she looked in her general direction. She set her volume so that she could understand what Sonia was saying. The star told the room that she’d be having a concert, essentially, and she’d be using people from this very school for the concert. Auditions were….today. The crowd cheered so loud, Ryou was caught off-guard and was found whimpering silently on the floor, feeling like Ragnarok had decided to scream into her ear with the force and noise level of a tornado. After recovering herself, she watched people audition and frowned at the people who had no talent but still tried. “I admire their effort, but…” She murmured, watching a fail guitarist screw up some chords. “This…may take a while.” |

Sophie walked into the gym, dragging a wagon with the pieces of a drum set behind her, and yawning as she pulled it inside. Looking around, she didn't see many people actually clamoring to join just yet. Maybe they're just nervous, she considered, sitting down and looking about. Sonia had brought some very professional-looking people to help judge the auditions, it seemed, bringing more weight to the outcomes. I wonder if that's why people are so quiet... or maybe they're just being respectful of each other, and the people in charge. As she waited, Sophie picked a thermos out of the wagon, opening it and allowing the smell of hot coffee to fill her mind a moment before slowly drinking it, turning to face the stage as she sat down. Sonia had said she would give Sophie special consideration, which, in Sophie's mind, gave some counterbalance to the issue of her... condition. I wonder how they plan to conduct the auditions. Free-play? Specific songs?

Sonia sat through mediocre audition after mediocre audition, some boring her almost to sleep, until finally she reached a name she recognized. Sophie's audition is next! she thought excitedly to herself as Hanekoma thanked the current auditioners and directed them back to their seats. When they had cleared the stage, Sonia stood up and read the next three names off the list. "Would Phoebe Silvair, Sophie Dreamer, and Brade Garth please take the stage?" As she waited for the three in question to set up their equipment, Song risked a wink at Sophie, which Hanekoma and the rest of the crowd fortunately missed. Once the trio appeared to be set up, Sonia ran through the rules for the dozenth time in the past hour. "Okay, as you know the three of you get five minutes to discuss amongst yourselves what song you want to play. If you fail to reach a consensus in that time, you will be assigned one to play, since we don't want these auditions to take all day after all." This remark gained a quick laugh from the crowd, after which Song continued, "You will be judged on how well you play your parts both individually and as a whole, and both scores will be considered when we decide on the final candidates. So you should do your best to stand out, but remember to work with your band mates too. You have five minutes to talk starting...now." As she said the word 'now', Hanekoma hit the timer sitting next to him on the table, which was already set to five minutes.

Ryou had gotten tired and bored, and found herself sliding down the chair until her rear was off the chair, her back on the seat, and her head propped up against the chair’s back. Blinking a few times, having a mental battle on whether or not to resume this sloppy posture or to raise herself up once more. She sighed and chose the latter, and sat up on the seat again, pretending to be attentive. Finally, Sonia called out what she had been waiting for – Sophie. The one that the brunette had met in the gaming café. Or internet café. Whatever. This time, she actually was attentive. What song would they play? Will they make it into the band? Find out next on…something. Ryou allowed herself to barely, just barely, loosen up on her ear-muff-head-phones so that she could actually hear what was going on. “Good luck.” She whispered, before quieting once more. |

Marcus had heard Sonia the music idol was planning some sort of band audition and quickly found the location. When he first heard that such a famous, and surely loaded, person was joining Shibusen he jumped at the chance to be Sonia’s school financial advisor. Marcus had met Hanekoma to discuss tuition options, not that there was much need for it as Sonia came along and had insisted in paying in full already. Anyway point is Marcus had decided to keep an eye on the singer. It was actually Den who brought the audition to Marcus’s attention. ”Sonia’s holding an audition at the gym, I’m going to watch” Den said as he walked toward the door. ”Wait, you know Sonia? She’s holding auditions?” ”Uh, yeah…Wanna come?” And so, Marcus followed Den to the gym where the auditions were being held, both preferring to stand in the back and watch. A plan already forming in Marcus’s mind as he watched people go up and audition, considering if he could somehow turn this audition for a temporary band (or so he gathered from the volunteers) to make them into a real band. |

Racing for the auditorium, Ellis once more cursed her sour luck and tendency for losing time. Leaping down a set of stairs, her lungs burned for air with each lengthened stride. In one hand she carried a polished black case; the other held her hat firmly against her head. Coat flapping wildly behind her, she ran as fast as she could, hoping to beat the time. She had requested her brother and sister to show up today to help her with the musical acts today (since her brother was as good with guitar as she with fiddle and Alice was a steady drummer). All three would sing today, though it was the sum of their voices and parts that would outshine the singular alone. Sadly, by the time she arrived, the other performers had started. Damn! Im missing the fair! It should be made to note that Ellis had not read the audition sheet carefully, thus thinking they were merely a talent show dedicated to music. She'd heard of Sonia, but only really in passing - she was much more a fan of artists like Heather Alexander and Trace Adkins. Thinking it would be nice to invite her siblings to the show, she had; her elder brother Paul and younger sister Alice had stayed with her for the past couple days, waiting for the event while playing tourist in the city. She had signed up the three of them as a trio, and she'd even dressed for the occasion beneath her standard jacket and hat. Hiding backstage, she dropped the jacket into a spare chair, her hat resting in the seat. Pinning back her short hair, she shook the black wig before placing it upon her head. It itched slightly, but it came with the outfit so she couldn't complain. Taking one last look at herself and making minor shifts to the outfit, she peeked around the corner, hoping to spy her siblings. There! They sat waiting patiently with the others, also dressed in their garb. Good job, kin. Hopefully we'll go soon. Breathing deeply, she steeled her nerves and waited for the panel to call them.
