"Jack damn dude." She whistled, "Yeah I could see why you might wish to have not been there, but hey you did good with the music. And don't worry about it killing you. I took a spear to the gut from Hel on stage remember?" She grinned, "Best damn play the school will ever see."
Eventually they reached the pawn shop and Sammy would shift the guitar off her back to carry at her side as she looked about, "So now we just need to get me a bass right?"

"Yeah, the instruments are there," he said, pointing to the back and heading for it. The guitars were hanging on the wall, which made it easy to find the four string bass. He looked at it thoughtfully for a moment before taking it down. Then he started to examine it closely.
"Not bad," he said finally. "Not the best bass in the world, but it looks decent. Well cared for, he loosened the strings to keep them from warping."

Sammy only nodded following along after Roch, purple eyes bouncing from guitar to guitar, so many she wanted but only one would come home. Eventually Roch made the first move picking out the one he was now complimenting.
"Can I see it?" She placed her old guitar down reaching over to wiggle her fingers for the bass. When he finally did pass it over she went to work tightening the strings strumming randomly. She wasn't spot on but she had it almost tuned in just a few moments as her fingers continued to tweak and poke at the bass.
"Almost have it...." And though it was slightly out of tune and a few notes where missed she started to play. It wasn't great, and it wasn't terrible either in that moment and she knew it as she frowned at the bass guitar, specifically the part where it sped up before slowing down again.

He listened to her play, nodding slightly. "Yeah, this won't be hard at all," he declared. "C'mon, let's get it traded for and I'll show you some more stuff. Then we... I think, have a band!" His eyes lit up and a grin pulled at his lips. "How do you feel about karaoke?"

Sammy nodded, "The most overated and overlooked perk to being dead. I don't sleep." She passed the guitar to Roch lifting up the one to trade in, "When I'm not staying with Siddie to keep her company at night I can practice, guitar, fighting, anything. You'd be amazed how much more you could do if you didn't waste eight hours at a time staring at your eyelids unless you wanted too."
She paused pondering his next question, "It's not bad, I just prefer the guitar more." She shrugged, "Singing isn't my strongest point. Guitar, taking a spear to the gut on stage, and being obnoxiously loud and show stealing. Those I can do."
Eventually they reached the counter where she passed the guitar over letting them inspect the repair job to see how much of a difference they could get on the bass. During this Sammy glanced at Roch again, "Why do you ask about karaoke?"

"Cuz I got a booth," he said. "It's basically so I can practice my FEAR, but it comes with a karaoke machine. It's pretty awesome. I thought we should get the entire band together and have a little... welcoming party, y'know?" he grinned at her. "You know either Rikki or Nahm?"

"How like at the maul in a shop or something?" She blinked, "You had a party planned before you even had a last member?" She reached into her jacket pocket pulling out a difference in seeds passing them to the shops keeper before placing her new bass guitar in the bag to take home.
"Can't say I do. What do they do in the band, drums and vocals?"

"In my room," Roch said cheerfully. "Doesn't really call for a lot of planning, y'know? Just 'come on over, we'll party!' And 'bring food,'" he added thoughtfully. "But yeah, Nahm's a grue, he's on vocals, Rikki's another grim reaper, he's on drums--you don't got something against either species, do you?"

"Your room? That most have cost a pretty pumpkin seed to get." She started towards the front of the store nodding, "Make sense though, lot less trouble to get it set up and have a party when the entertainment is already in dorm."
To the later questions she only raised an eyebrow, "If your asking me that, I'm guessing you've heard the rumors about me, and an ex demon student." She paused turning to face him pointing with a blackened bone finger. "I only hate scumbags who think Undead should be nothing more then servants and errands. Particularly demons who have that attitude along with a 'high and holier then thou' complex. So as long as none of them have a problem with me being dead, I don't have a problem with them."

He blinked. "Ex demon?" he said finally. "How the hell do you become an ex demon? But nah, that's not why I asked. I got some issues with ghosts--I'm workin' on it, and there's a reason for it, but I still got issues. I figure everyone might have one or two of them. And trust me, Nahm can be an a**--then again, so can I," he said with disarming honesty.
"But one of my best pals is Amrita," he went on. "And Christof's one of the baddest assed guys I know. Moure's one of my bros, too. And hell, the guy that taught me guitar is a skeleton."

"What I mean when I say ex demon student is he was a demon who was a student." She waved her hand, "He got kicked out of the school after Dr. Hyde forced us to switch rooms to 'live in the others shoes'." She grinned, "After he was gone I kept the 2nd story room in the demon dorms with a view and anyone who has issues with it gets a fist to the face. As for this Nahm guy being an a**, it can't be much worse then hanging out with Nuk and his fleabag self."
The next name though caused Sammy to perk up with a grin, "You know little Ami too? Jack damn, I still remember when I was trying to save her from the yellow Santa scout two years ago now. And Chris well, he's a bit of a creep, but he seems to have good intentions for the most part?"

"I just know he hits really hard and runs a really awesome mad scientist class," Roch summed up. "Haven't really spent that much time with him, to be honest. But yeah, c'mon, we'll go back to school and I'll show you the basics," he said, heading out of the store. "You'll be playin' in no time. Then we'll call up the old geezer and tell him we're ready for a gig." All in all he was pretty satisfied with how this had turned out.
