Welcome to Gaia! ::

An old beat up station wagon drove into the parking lot and parked beside Autum's car. On the back, it's visible that a drum set was stuffed inside it and a bunch of bags and suitcase covered the back seats. The driver side door then swung open and a short girl came out, a grin on her mug. "I'm not late, am I?" she told Autum as she exited her vehicle and slammed the door close. It wasn't because she was angry or anything, she just really needed to slam it shut or else it would not stay close.

Mari then noticed the group of guys who looked like they were a band as well and this made her raise an eyebrow. "Hey! You guys aren't playing here tonight, are you?", she yelled at them. Not to be mean, she just wanted to ask and she never was a subtle one.

When I'm strumming these strings...
...the rest of this world doesn't matter...
...I'm finally free...

☆ ★Yang Kaido★ ☆

★Bass Guitar★

Yang straightened his stance as Caleb pulled in reckless as always, this brought an even better point to mind. Why was it that Yang seemed to be the only band member that hadn't invested his portion from shows in a flashy vehicle. As he allowed Haru's arm to drop from his shoulders he looked into the sky lost in his own pondering thoughts. He heard Caleb warn him once more not to encourage their band leader, probably a good idea but either way Haru would tease the bandmates and being that Yang was the silent one it would always most likely be him. Playing along for a time was always easier than the over the top reactions he gave Haru when they first met. As the words drifted in the air so did Yang's thoughts before finally with the same bored look in his eyes and yet his mouth forming a lazy circle he drove his right hand curled into a loose fist but facing vertically into an open left palm horizontally below it as if he had come to some big realization, but instead of saying it out loud he could only think, Because I paid for tuition entirely out of pocket.

Though he finally had realized this it brought him no closure and possibly even a bit of depression when he realized how much he really paid to go to a building and sit in the back of a class he knew everything about and doze off bored. Irritation set in but right as he returned his face to the same bored look Jack walked up smoking a cigarette, the band was indeed forming up nicely, he dared to say they might even be on time tonight.

Just as Yang found himself in his approving thoughts a voice came from behind them...a female voice he turned to see not one but two cute girls standing not too far off the one of them was yelling something but the bustling of the crowd muddled it, several people turned to look but then turned and went about their business, Yang placed his hands in his pockets as he turned his body so that he wasn't directly facing her but his body turned sideways towards the club entrance allowing him to turn his head and take in the woman. What was she saying? He couldn't make it out and also he wasn't too confident with the ladies, not as much as Haru or the other bandmates so instead his dull stare only met her energetic ones for a brief moment, his mouth opening just slightly as he thought over what he was supposed to say in response when he didn't hear her. Then without warning he turned his head so quickly that his hair had to turn and catch up, his bangs once more falling neatly into place, as he turned he looked down, slightly embarrassed. He had almost said something to them...This was a genuine step forward. Haru, Caleb, or Jack could handle speaking from there.

If you close your eyes,
You'll miss what your soul would really listen to. . .
The sound of harmony,
All in a single note. . .

↙↙ In the tight streets, the cars filled the roads with their blasting engines. The engine noise each vehicle that drove had a different pattern. The pattern of each of these noises could possibly annoy anyone. However, the noise of engines and honking did no bother Yayoi. Rather, she accepted the noise taking in each pattern that touched her ear drums. One sound was a bit rough and rigid. The rigid, rough sound was possible coming from an old vehicle. The next sound had become more louder and quite clear. Possibly the sound of something new. The whole area of her surrounding was filled with sound and music. Music and sound to her ears.

Leaning again the wall, a black haired and eye color girl with headphones on her head looked straight again at the busy street. The girl's white turtle neck shirt was hidden underneath her black jacket with her front left side of her pocket to listen to her mp3 player. The crowds of people were filled with chat as all different pitch and sound of voices from the shriek to the deep tone voices. The girl, Yayoi Leilei, continued to watch until she had already decided it was time to already go. Taking her stuff with her, Yayoi lift her bag carrying her keyboard and went off walking to the club.

Yayoi had heard from band of a new gig and home. To be honest, she pleased that there was going to be a new home and gig. Her current location wasn't one that could be labeled in her book as good or nice. Either way, Yayoi had no way to object or protest, but her skin gave a weird shiver down her spine. From what she was told, the price was fairly abnormal from the picture Autumn had sent Yayoi. A house of such well built detail from the inside and out was almost too true. However, would probably know her band members wouldn't care since it was after all at a real good price. However, Yayoi still felt seemed a bit suspicious, but Yayoi knew that any distractions would disrupt her focus since there was still the gig the band had to perform.

Shifting the bag on her shoulder, Yayoi continued to walk turning on her headphones to listen to a few created beats she had worked with on her laptop. The new beats were fresh and well put together much her appeasement. A small little smirk could slightly be seen on Yayoi's lips when her eyes closed. Reopening her eye lids, Yayoi had arrived to see two of her band members had already made it to the club. Sadly, there was only two of them currently there making Yayoi would be three. Readjusting her headphones on the right side of her ear, Yayoi lifted her right hand lightly as to grab their attention, but it was disrupted when one her band members loud voice attempted to reach out to a group of boys.

However, Yayoi placed her right hand back in her right pocket leaving the other hand out while averting her eyes to a group of boys her band member was yelling at although from the look of their faces, they were somewhat confuse from her band member's loud voice. Suddenly, Yayoi felt again that strange feeling in her stomach, and it was not a virus. Disappointingly, Yayoi wished it was just natural butterflies in her stomach even though she knew it was something else. Hopefully unlike most her past cautious suspicions, the feelings wouldn't be right.

Yayoi's eyes narrowed in the boys direction as it had seemed they decided to walk off. It was not of intimidation or negative feeling, but rather a natural response of Yayoi's nature of being cautious. Her mind begin to conjure up one thing in her mind, 'I get this strange feeling something is up and this is going to turn into a big mess.'

Once out of sight, Yayoi refocused her attention on her band members. Casually walking up to Autumn and Mari, Yayoi salute with a simple wave of her hand before asking, "Hey Mari, Autumn, where is everyone?"

Haru headed into the club where it had been completely packed by people. He grinned as he took in the large crowd who had come out to see them.
"This is going to be quite fun," Haru said to himself as he pushed his way through the crowd.
Haru had a hard time getting through because many of them were too stubborn to move or they knew him and were trying to speak with him. Most of them were fawning girls, but there were even some guys. Haru appealed to both genders, not that he minded since he just loved everyone.
"Sorry darlings, but I need to get on stage," he said as he pushed past them.
Finally, Haru was able to get to the stage where Caleb already was. Haru peered out onto the stage to make not of how it was set up.
"Hmm, it's looks pretty small but we should still be able to fit. Caleb you can set up by on the side, more towards the middle so your keyboard can fit. Just keep your space from the drum, wouldn't want to blow out your ears," Haru stated with a smirk. "Our guitarist and bassist may have to share some space near the front with me, but we'll manage."

"T-those guys ignored me! Can you believe that?!" Mari asked Autumn, her hands closed in tight fists, her teeth grinding together as she glared at the group of boys enter the club. "They looked at me! At us! But they just up and left! Sure that jerk was honking his horn but they should have at least asked me to repeat what I was saying!" she continued her rant, her left eye twitching a bit. Her tone instantly calmed down however when she heard Yayoi's voice her grin coming back on her lips.

"Ya~Yoi! Lei~Lei!", she greeted the girl in a sing song tone . She always liked saying the girl's name that way so she uses it as a greeting every time she can. "No idea. Just got here myself." she said as she started unloading her drum set out of her car to portable cart she pulled out of the trunk as well. "Autumn got here before I did." she said pointing at their guitarist who is beating up the guy who honked his horn causing the other band to not hear Mari when she was yelling at them her question.

She laughed at Autumn at how she handled her ex and his new girl. "Ha! That's our Autumn.", she commented before being led into the the bar. She had a pretty excited expression as she entered, pushing her cart in but the excitement changed into a look of pissed off confusion. "Why the hell are those guys setting up on our stage?"

The microphone had already been set on stage, but it was unplugged. Haru thought he would only need to plug it in but when he walked by the stereo and amps, he found that all the wires were screwed up. He let out an irritated sigh as he began to rewire everything, plugging things in their correct spot. This took some time, but eventually it was done. Haru stood back and admired his handiwork for a moment before glancing back at the stage. It seemed that their drummer, Matt still hadn't showed up yet.
"Tch, where is that kid? We start in five minutes!" Haru grumbled as he looked to the entrance.
That was when he noticed the girls from earlier. They had a few other girls with them and they looked angry for some reason.
