The Holy Rosicrucians will definitely be playing at the Halloween Dance!

At least, uh, a little bit. Mr. Merrill said that my music is apparently "undanceable" and will "kill the mood". He said it really nicely, though!

Anyway, we're going to do a short set at the beginning to kick things off, and maybe a few slow songs at the end for a cool down. But obviously if my bandmates have a hot date, they should go get on the dancefloor and I'll sing to them solo.

[Warded to Cecil and Levi]

First off, congratulations from your number one fan. I'm going to dedicate one of those slow songs to you guys.

But I know what you really want to hear is that I talked to Ravi about him getting lost in the woods. I learned that, first off, he really loves the woods. And secondly... yeah there's some overlap. He explained he was walking with all these freshmen, and all of the sudden couldn't recognize his surroundings. He felt like the forest was reacting to him trying to sound like a know-it-all. I'm not sure if that detail was just him being self-deprecating, or if it's relevant. But I kind of felt like

The thing that happened to Wes was weird, too, right? He wasn't himself afterwards.

What's the next step?

[Warded to The Holy Rosicrucians: Zoey, Levi, Ulysses]

Two things to talk about:

Set list! What are we playing? I've got a few ideas for a great horror theme, but I'm open to suggestions, naturally. I know you're as capable of being morbid as I am, and I want details in song form.

We need a drummer! Little Quayle is busy, so we need to charm Casper into filling in. Everyone act super cute at him. ... But maybe not right now. Try it in a couple days. He and Katya are tight, so I bet he's really stressed out for her sake. But maybe in a little bit he'd like the distraction anyway. Regardless, now we begin Operation Make Casper Kim Love Us. Agreed?

Congratulations.

[indiefolk]

Aw, thanks Chris. Still not going to the dance?

[duelled]

"This music is undanceable" is quitter's talk.

[indiefolk]

I better see you tearing up the dancefloor to They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From The Dead!! Ahhhh! (x)

[henshinyo]

Exactly what I am thinking!

Diego

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

I haven't forgotten to try and get Casper to agree to things. I swear I'll do my best just...things you know.

Katya/Diego

[indiefolk]

No, hey, Kat, please don't worry about that. Casper's a good guy, he won't leave us hanging. He'll just be happier hearing it from you. But not until you're feeling up to it.

How're you holding up?

[neattrick]

slow dances are for squares

[indiefolk]

Slow dances are for lovers, and I'm a romantic. ♥

[gdilevi]

What about square dancing?

[laaurel.insanejournal.com]

Can I make a request

[indiefolk]

YES. Anything for you.

Holy Rosi

[valentinez.insanejournal.com]

All the hits, of course. What are they going to do, kick us off stage?

I like Casper.

Holy Rosi

[indiefolk]

They love us waaaaay too much for that.

He's a good guy, just... angry, you know? I think he also wishes our music was angrier, but I can't help him with that.

[addytives]

I will be part of this dance to not dance music crowd and it will be fun damnit

[indiefolk]

Are you going to get Jonny to dance with you too? Because I would love to see that.

[noblewon]

How the hell can you say that nicely?

[indiefolk]

Mr. Merrill can say anything nicely.

But it's fine, I know what kind of music we play, and it's really hard to dance to it in the way a lot of people are going to want to. Unless we're going for a really mellow, chaste and thoughtful event where no one even grinds once. And who wants that, right???

[riledup]

Whatever D, you can TRY and kill my groove mood.

[indiefolk]

You're a walking party, nothing can keep you down. Not even gentle string plucking and whispery vocals about existential heartbreak.

[gdilevi]

I mean, Merrill's not wrong.

[DLC]

Are you guys going to throw us a Congratulations On Going To The Dance Together party?

Okay, so maybe the forest is sentient? Or maybe there's some entity in the forest that can manipulate it?

Yeah, what are the details with Wes? I don't know him well enough and tried to back off instead of prying after that. He didn't seem to want to talk about it.

[The Holy Crustaceans]

Think we can sneak a Hobgoblins song in there in honor of the Mysterious Disappearance of Stubby Boardman? That'll give them something to dance to.

Already working on Operation Make Casper Kim Love Us! But I have a long way to go. I can just ask him tomorrow? That way if he says no, we at least have a little more time to find another drummer.

[indiefolk]

He's definitely not wrong.

[DLC]

I can. I mean you can always celebrate to the sounds of me screaming into the abyss dhjghjaksjhgajh a private performance, but maybe it deserves a little more pomp and circumstance?

Maybe? I don't know. He's really down on himself a lot for talking too much when he's into something, so it could have been bad timing.

I don't know exactly. I can ask him. I mean, I've known him since we were kids but we're not as much heart2heart friends like you and I are. I hope he's okay.

[The Holy Crustaceans]

Yeah, totally. That's spooky, but in a layered, subtle way.

If you ask him, tell him that he can pick one of the songs. We'll make it work.

[henshinyo]

"Undanceable"? This sounds like a challenge.

[indiefolk]

Maybe it is! I guess ballet would be an easier dance style to use for my kind of music.

[browbeats]

Who knew Mr. Merrill was such a connoisseur of danceable music.

[gdilevi]

We all suspected. You didn't see that man's pajamas. He has good taste all around.

Diego/Cricket

[chryseis]

Congrats, Diego! How's Uly? He hasn't said much about the band for awhile.

Diego/Cricket

[indiefolk]

Thanks, Cricket.

He seems really busy, poor guy. Junior year is when classes get really tough, I guess. I'm going to try and get Casper up to speed so Ulysses can focus on his studies and not worry about practice.

[gabiflor.insanejournal.com]

I am sure your music is very danceable!

[indiefolk]

It's a little on the slow side, but some people won't be deterred.

[icovington.insanejournal.com]

Congratulations, Diego (&band.) I'm sure that you'll set a good mood, Mr. Merrill's opinion aside.

No offense meant to Mr. Merrill.

[indiefolk]

Thanks, Isaiah. Mr. Merrill likes our music, he just doesn't think it's going to be good for a raucous, hopping Halloween party. Which I bet you wouldn't mind.

[paytee.insanejournal.com]

Undanceable ain't always a bad thing though. Sure you can figure something on out before then.

[indiefolk]

We're having a serious music talk that involves covers of muggle pop songs so I think it's going well.

[Wes]

Feeling better? You can be brief if you want to.
