 Axl followed Noel's finger, frowning a bit. In... a tree? That didn't sound like such a good idea...
Sexy people climb trees? What? He laughed a bit, shrugging. "I'm actually really bad at climbing trees, Noel." A tree fort did sound awesome though, he had to admit... It really did. But what was the point of a fort that he couldn't get into? Hmm.
"If we built it in a tree, we'd have to be really careful... Jay fell out of the last tree I climbed. Do you know of a good one?"

"J-jay fell out of a tree?" Noel looked shocked. He had no idea that had happened. Truthfully, Noel probably would fall out of a tree too if he tried to climb it. Probably a good idea to not attempt that. Probably would end up with a trip to the hospital.
The other question that didn't come to Noels mind was how would the two build a fort?
"We could maybe just try to build one on the ground and get a bouncer to keep all the none cool people out?" Poor Noel, didn't know the first thing about forts.

He nodded, a bit surprised the Brit didn't know. He was on Jay's team after all. "She messed up her arm, but it's fine now."
He looked around, looking for stuff that would make a good fort. "Heh. Yeah, bouncers." This was silly. The couldn't make a fort without tools. Especially not one in a tree. The boards would fall off.
"I dunno, man. Wouldn't we need tools to make a good fort?"

Noel frowned a little. Axl was right after all , they did need tools. Where could they get tools from though in a camp. The fact that Ratchet was in his cabin totally evaded his brain as he thought.
"Y-your right!?" Noel was shocked. Clearly it showed on his face too. D'awwww there went that plan.
"Well if we can't build a fort what do you want to do?"

"Hm." Axl thought about it for a moment. Ratchet didn't come to his mind either; its not like she was on his team anyway. "Where's your keytar? I'd like to know how it works. We could jam for a bit." He paused. "If you don't mind that my guitar still kinda smells like skunk a bit. I didn't wanna dunk it in the tomato soup."

Noel tilted his head and smiled. Out of the back of his shirt he revealed his Keytar. The brit carried it with him about seventy percent of the time. Usually.
"I don't mind. " Noel smiled, " I don't think Id want to dunk a guitar in soup either."
Still, why he carried that keytar around , the world probably would never know. There wasn't any special meaning or anything about it . I guess he just figured he would never know when a band may need a keytarist.

"Awesome," Axl said, grinning a bit at the keytar. He wasn't very fond of the instrument, or the sound of the bands that usually used them, but hey. He was still curious about them, and hell, it could be fun.
"I guess we'll go get my guitar." He nodded toward the direction his stuff was hidden in, and started through the trees for it.

Noel was following close behind, his keytar in his hands as if he was about to play it. It wasn't even on though. Bad habit ? Probably ?
Ah well, the mod kept his locked on the path before him and dodged stray branches. The boy was aware he was a klutz and didn't really want to stumble into any branches.
No, he just wanted to jam. Music. Something the mod loved.

Axl's guitar case wasn't hidden too much further in. He led Noel to it and pulled it out of his hiding spot. He hadn't been kidding--it really was kinda smelly. He held it like a baby though and took a seat under the tree.
"Alright, Noel. What do you wanna play first? Know anything I know?"

Noel made a face when Axl pulled his guitar out. Ick, it really smelt rancid. How you got smell out of a guitar was beyond the Brit. He had never come across such a problem.
His eyes watered slightly. The smell was nt something he couldn't handle. Just the first wave of stench was a little harsh.
"What ever you want to play. Something thats good with keys perhaps," He was choking a little. The brit coughed.

The smell wasn't that bad. And it was going away! It used to be a lot worse. Axl wrinkled his nose a bit at it, then set the guitar in his lap. What to play... He didn't know if he knew of a song that Noel might know that also used keys.
"Um..." He strummed a few cords then shrugged. "Why don't you start?"

Noel thought for a second and then started to play People are Strange by the doors. He even sang the lyrics as he started off.
" People are strange when youre a stranger
Faces look ugly when youre alone
Women seem wicked when youre unwanted
Streets are uneven when youre down
When youre strange
Faces come out of the rain
When youre strange
No one remembers your name "
He tapped his foot as he went. Noels butter smooth voice and accent tied into the words giving them an edgy sound. Some how on the keytar it didn't sound so strange. Usually this song was not done with a keytar.

Noel picked a good song. Axl knew it and loved it. He grinned at the Brit and started to play along. It sounded weird... A keytar and an acoustic guitar combined with Noel's accent, but it was a good weird. He liked it.
Jamming along, he tapped his own foot, tail swaying to the music. Now this was the life.

Noel smiled when Axl joined in. He was really good on the guitar. Not that Noel had doubted him but it was good to know he had talent.
"When youre strange
People are strange when youre a stranger
Faces look ugly when youre alone
Women seem wicked when youre unwanted
Streets are uneven when youre down
When youre strange
Faces come out of the rain
When youre strange
No one remembers your name
When youre strange
When youre strange
Faces come out of the rain
When youre strange
No one remembers your name
When youre strange "
The beat to the song sounded a bit more futuristic with the keytar thrown in. Noel would have liked it better if he had used a piano but hey, you couldn't carry a piano to camp now could you? He tried to force one in his bag and it just wasnt going to happen. He'd tried his mophead too. No luck.
The song finished and Noel smiled at his companion.
"You really got some talent there ~" He tilted his head at Axl with a smile.

Axl sat silently for a bit when they finished, a bit of a silent self-indulgent sulk. Noel's voice was smooth, man. Why couldn't his voice be like that? Really. He liked singing! It wasn't fair that he was bad at it!
"Heh... Thanks." He gave him a small smile and fiddled with the guitar's strings. At least he was good at something.
