Sin was annoyed, but the professors lecture about music being important in all forms rang true. How many times had her mother told her to be diverse in her choices of music, clothing, and reading. Well the lessons had rubbed in because Sin didn't mind experimenting, but she had set her sights on the harp and her longing hadn't faded. She picked up the trumpet and almost cringed, she just knew it was going to be loud. She placed her fingers and then set her lips against the instrument.
Sin refused to blow hard, her cheeks would puff up like a kushi! She instead breathed softly into the trumpet and was punished for it with a weak whiny sounding note escaping. She sighed in frustration and pushed her hair back. She was probably going to be at this for a bit..especially if she didn't just suck it up and blow like a pro.

Sin sighed and licked her lips setting them against the mouthpiece again and slowly blowing. She managed a short burst of sound but her fingers hadn't moved and she was out of air. Ugh, wind instruments why did they need such a constant air-flow? Well that was obvious...but she didn't like it, it was hardly flattering to be huffing and puffing like a big bad wolf. Her fingers moved from valve to valve as she just tried to get that right first.
That wasn't too hard, no she didn't seem to have issues moving her fingers in order. It was the need for consistent blowing and the way one moved ones mouth that gave Sin problems. She just felt awfully silly and her lips were going to go numb from the buzzing. Still...her parents hadn't raised a quitter...she lifted the trumpet to her lips to try again.

Sin looked around, she couldn't do it, she really didn't want to look silly infront of people. She was used to instruments she could play with grace and poise, the trumpet required facial and mouth movements that looked like a fish trying to suck in water. She slowly turned to face away from the rest of the class and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and then moved her mouth into a 'aaah' shape before blowing steadily.
Her fingers moved across the valves quickly as she sucked in another little gasp, her tongue flicking out. She blew again and managed a quick little tune, not exactly band worthy, but it would do right? She lowered the trumpet and then quickly lifted a finger to catch a strand of saliva before it turned to drool. Ugh she hated the unrefined blowing of wind instruments, she glanced over her shoulder, hopefully no one saw that.

Sepheran let out a sigh of happy relief as he listened to the teacher call out his name and tell him he would be playing the violin. This was great! He loved the violin! He was so relieved that it took him a while to even get up to get his instrument, by the time he managed to move he was near the back of the line to get his violin.
Sepheran then proceeded to head straight back to Lizzy smiling happily. Now that he had his violin though he was starting to get slightly nervous. Taking a deep breath the basilisk set about readying his instrument and then placed it on his chin lifting his arm ready to play putting his bow down a small screech playing for a moment before Sephy quickly retracted. Oh darn his nerves!

Taking a deep breath Sepheran calmed himself down once more. It had been a while since he played in front of other people. He took a moment and looked to Lizzy seeing her pass already. He smiled closed his eyes and lifted his bow once more. Just calm down, you know how to play...okay... Sepheran told himself lightly.
Liannan slithered herself around Sepheran's neck her head looking at the strings once more. She hissed lightly and Sepheran readied his bow letting it down on her command and then began to play.
This time instead of the screetch that had happened before a lovely sound was emitted...not as good as the professor's of course but still fairly decent for a student anyway. He smiled softly lulled by the music.

"Yes, it did," Barth said to Gabrian. "Desk's doing all the work. It's not heavy at all this way. A tad precarious. But far from any sort of lifting. Very ingenuitive thinking, that."
He gave Gabrian a genuine smile, and then the tuba another weak whistle, this time depressing the second valve.
The air he was giving the tuba wasn't enough to blow out a candle, much less a gigantic brass instrument. It made a slightly queerer twee.

Oh Jack. WHAT. What was. What was this? He..he didn't expect to get what he wanted. Much less be expected to...to sing without getting some kind of lesson! Tension in the tiny siren mounted. Eyes flickered to Amrita. This was not the same as band. She was on a cello. A CELLO. It was bigger then her. It could squash her. Kill her. Oh well, maybe no kill but very much be unpleasant. Looking back at Professor Blue, he tried to give the teacher the most pathetic look he could muster.
But he was pretty sure it didn't work. So it left the siren no choice.
"Ro ma- ma ma..."

It was another loud commotion, and soon what little inkling that Calder though was protectiveness and maybe a hint of a relationship was confirmed in the clearest of fashions. Gabe and Ren were together, and you had to be a boyfriend of Ren to be able to touch special places, this being his ears. It was a privilege reserved for a mate, and as such, not a place for Calder. The boil watched as Gabe, in majestic princely fashion, tossed his cloak around his significant other and kept him from being defiled by someone else.
The entire scene, while probably heart-tearing chaos for Ren, was sweet and made the other boil green with envy. What a nice thing these two had together. WHY THE HELL COULDN'T HE FIND SOMEONE LIKE THAT?!
Frowning, he nodded, clearly understanding, and pulled his hand back in. The boil had yet to really understand 'keeping your hands to yourself', and being scolded didn't do well for him. Frowning, he scooted his chair back to give them space. "Sorry. I didn't know you two were together. I won't touch. He's all yours." Of course, he would be considerate in matters of romance and love. He always tried to be, and he would never try and break the pair up. In fact, now that he knew, he would see to it they stayed together. Ren had been nice to him, and they offered him carrots (Which he hoped was still being offered but worried about now), and he wasn't about to mess that up. Seeing as Gabe had also offered him a carrot and wanted to learn the bagpipes, he was clearly someone Calder could approve of. Yup. Gabe was a good boil and would be a good boil for Ren.

Had anyone heard him? No? GOOD. Inch by cautious inch, Israfel was scooting towards the wall.
Trying very red, he kept trying. Oh jack he was trying. And trying...sounded terrible. Thankfully, he was doing his best to sing quietly. It was working...to a point. No attention to himself. "Ga-ga ooh la la..." None at all, just back slowly-
His butt hit something. Something heavy, and he was pretty sure whatever he hit was going to fall. He couldn't turn around as suddenly Israfel was shouting.
"WANTYOURBADROMANCE!"

Although Barth had many reservations about the tuba, they were slowly dissipating. Weight, averted. fiddly bits, only three. And he'd already been through two of them!
Unless the lever in the swirly section did something. He decided to ignore it.
He held down the third and final valve, when a concern that he had not previously considered manifested.
The tuba attacked him.
And it wanted his bad romance.
This time he didn't manage a blow. There was a strangled yelp, and a thump, and a crash, and he was completely trapped beneath the tuba. There was just no way to escape. It would involve moving things. He would have to stay there and be crushed to death.
He settled for a whine.
"Christof?" And by Christof, he meant Gabrian or Calder or Ren or West or Israfel or anybody in the general area.

OH CANDLEJACK. HE HAD DONE THIS. HIS BUTT HAD DONE THIS. In turning around the sight of another student trapped under the tuba made Israfel's reaction only heighten.
"RARA AH AH AH
ROMA MA MA MA
GAGA OH LA LA
WANTYOURBADROMANCE"
Israfel grabbed on the tuba, and tried to yank it off, all while belting out song lyrics.
He would later say he was multitasking.

She had turned the trumpet in her hands, peering carefully at it for any hint or clue as to why the damn thing wasn't working. A hole somewhere, or maybe a button she wasn't pushing? She couldn't find anything, not a single thing to explain the lack of sound coming from her instrument. It was broken, it had to be.
She brought it back to her lips for another try but nearly dropped the thing when a piercing, mind raping noise made her cringe violent. "Sweet baby Jack on steroids, what is that?" She dropped the horn onto her lap so she could clap her palms over hears, turning to press her face into the nergal's should, again being careful of the quills. "Is.. Is that Israfel?" She'd heard the siren couldn't sing for beans, but she couldn't have imagined this.

Barth suddenly was getting a full blast of siren.
And it was not as pleasant as legends advertised.
The tuba was very heavy.
Barth managed an uncomfortable squirm, "Do you mind," he squeaked, lungs squashed by the tuba, "not singing quite so loudly? While you-- hrrrrk --do that." The tuba shifted, and suddenly there was a lot of pressure on places he didn't want pressure.

There was a great irony in the fact that Israfel had no idea how terrible he sounded since having grown up with his own voice. He had no pain from his voice. It was just another sound to him. A loud sort of..screaming sound as he still frantically tugged at the tuba.
"IWANTYOURUGLY
IWANTYOURDISEASE
IWANTYOUREVERYTHINGASLONGASITFREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Yeah. Just white noise and a siren freaking out, giving the tuba one really hard tug.

Roll 1 = FAIL
Christof wobbled, watching Amrita attempt her instrument while attempting to tune out the ruckus erupting around them as everyone else jumped to practice. How... did one even work a Cello? He spied a few others with tinier versions in their hands, tucked under their chins but no... this was too big to do that. Perhaps like a guitar?
With the sudden scream from the blue-haired creature, the hunchback flinched, dropping his Cello at the sound of a sudden crash. By the time he turned he saw his poor Master trapped beneath the giant heavy twirly Tuba while the horrible wailing winged creature yanked on it as though that were part of it's song. Eyes widening, he rushed forward, practice forgotten as he tried to shove his way between them before the Siren did any more damage to poor trapped Master Barth.
