Icarus looked to Jethrow and nodded a little, swallowing some of her fears. Soon the other person came off the stage and she swallowed hard. "Strangers." Icarus got up and undid her coat. She then slipped off her hood, revealing her braid had been wound into a very regal bun and she tossed the coat aside. She was actually wearing a dress. All white and looking to be made of petals off a large flower, except the ruffles, or tips of the 'petals' looked as if they had been tipped in gold. She was even wearing white heels. She then exited onto stage and picked up the trumpet to begin her song.
After her performance, she returned, wiping some sweat from her forehead. "So. Did I do well enough for you guys?"

When Icarus got back, everyone backstage was clapping for her still. Benjamin stopped first, and hugged her, before pulling back. "That was pretty fantastic, pájaro," he said with a smile. Jethrow didn't say anything, but he nodded to the girl, the corner of his mouth twitching as if he wanted to smile. The nurse nodded and smiled before they announced "Bring Me To Life." She saluted them the way Benjamin had before heading onto stage.

Icarus smiled a little, though nervousness still showing through. "I wasn't that good." she mumbled, blushing a little in embarrassment. She then went to go change out of her dress and into something less embarrassing.

Benjamin tried to protest that Icarus really had been good, but he didn't get the chance before she went off to change. The next thing he knew, the nursing student was coming back, and he told her she'd done good while they waited for Icarus to come back. The last few contestants went up on stage and did their performances, too.

Icarus returned, having the dress on a hanger and in a protective bag. She was dressed in normal clothes as she looked to her new friends. She first told the nursing student she had done well, before looked to the boys.

"I say we escape, get food, and hide somewhere no one will find us," Jethrow suggested, and the nursing student agreed quickly. "Tell me where to meet you guys. I'll get Sophia," Benjamin said in agreement, and they all turned their attention to Icarus.

Icarus shrugged some and smiled. "What the hell. I'm a but hungry."
Sophia was just exiting the auditorium. She quickly ran out to where back stage let out and waited for Benjamin. She hoped he'd come this way. She didn't want to leave him looking for her.

Jethrow nodded. "All right, um, Irish Nurse you go find a place to hide from the masses. Creepy bird, you're with me to get the food. And Saint Spain you go get your girlfriend and find Irish Nurse." Benjamin shrugged and dashed for the backstage exit, catching sight of Sophia. He grinned as he ran up to her, hugging her. "What did you think?"

Icarus nodded some and headed out, leading Jethrow out into more deserted hallways. "So. Where shall we get food? Raid the kitchen or shall I make a dash to town?" she asked.
Sophia smiled, seeing Benjamin emerge. She hugged him back and kissed his cheek. "You were wonderful. Everyone else was ok. Except your nightingale. There's a reason I call her that." the French royal said with a smile.

"I say kitchens," he said with a shrug. The food was free in the kitchens. He headed in that direction, already thinking about what they could get for all five of them. Probably some meal sort of food and then some deserts and drinks, as well.
Benjamin smiled back at Sophia and ducked his head. "Well, we're all going to meet up with food and hang out somewhere that the masses won't find us. You in?"

Icarus nodded and followed the boy down to the kitchens and getting what food they could.
Sophia smiled and nodded. "Of course! I'm always up for hanging out with you all. Let's go." she said, smiling coyly to the Spaniard.

They ended up leaving with a tray of turkey, ham, and cheese sandwiches; a tupperware of brownies; a bag of Skittles; a cooler with varieties of soda, water, and lemonade; and a box of Ritz crackers. The kitchens apparently seemed glad to get rid of some extra food they had lying around, and Jethrow told them whenever they had food that needed to be rid of, they were welcome to call him.
The nursing student had found a little room on the third floor that appeared to be abandoned. She sent a text to Icarus and then one to Benjamin to let them know where to meet her, while she went inside and pushed around the dusty furniture, trying to make room for the five teens to sit down.
Benjamin grinned as he received the text. After reading it, he took Sophia's hand and led her up to the third floor. When he opened the door, everything had been pushed to the side, and there was a big patch of floor underneath a window. The nurse was trying to tug the white sheet off of the window so they could see the moon, and Benjamin helped, tossing the curtain to the side.

Icarus got the text and directed Jethrow up to the room on the third floor. Once there, she started handing out the food to the others.
Sophia smiled and took the sandwich and other foods she got. This was going to be a lovely time! She looked over to see Icarus sit next to her. She smiled and bumped Icarus who glanced over. The French girl subtly hinted to the other's hair, making Icarus jump a little and pull her hood up over her black hair.

Jethrow caught the movement as Icarus tossed the hood over her hair again, and he tugged it back down as he walked around behind the two girls, handing them drinks. "Now, now, none of that. You're the one who put your hair up like that." Benjamin rolled his eyes as he got himself some food and sat next to Sophia, smiling at her. The nurse sat down across from the three of them, nibbling on a brownie and holding a bottle of lemonade in her hand.

Icarus huffed when he yanked her hood back down. That wasn't what she was trying to hide, but if he didn't notice, then that was good. She took her water and took a sip out of it before nibbling on her own brownie. Truthfully her hair wasn't black. It was white. That's what Sophia had been motioning to. Her roots were showing since she dyed her hair. She hadn't renewed the dye in a while so her white roots were starting to show. So as long as no one noticed, she'd be cool.
