Welcome to Gaia! ::

One gigolo, check, Roch thought, trying not to laugh. Okay, this guy wasn't a gigolo, but--

"Great job," he said, just a tiny grin pulling at his lips as he did so. "You've got an awesome voice." Which he did. It's just Roch had never thought to meet a crooner under the age of sixty. But he could work with that, just like he could work with the duet. In fact, that suit of his was pretty badass, now that he thought of it.

"Hey, Danny, you ever thought of wearing a flapper dress?" he asked his vice pres. "Cuz I think you could pull it off."

Nyyrikki was relieved that they liked his solo. It felt good to know someone else appreciated what he did. He moved away from the drum set and thwumped back down in the beanbag chair. As he sat there, more people auditioned, and he found himself entranced.

The monster boil was fantastic on the bass. The jam session vibe got Nyyrikki pumped and excited. They could form a serious band with the talent here. The duet was equally amazing, and something new for Nyyrikki. He hadn't really considered what kind of different talents might wander in, but it was obvious they'd started to attract a wide range.

With the gryphon's vocals, things were looking really, really good. Close enough to the table to reach over, he snagged a bag of chocolate spiders and munched away happily.

A few other students had filed on in, but Shun wasn't really familiar with any of them. He kind of recognized Damien from the open house fitness booth and Nyrrikki from one of his classes, but that was about it.

"Any time," he said quietly to Mitsu as she thanked him. It was the least he could do really, especially if his presence was really helping her out at all. He couldn't really tell if it was, but she wasn't bolting away from here in any case, so there was the chance it did.

Glancing towards the gryphon as he sang, the Reaper watched and listened for a bit before turning his attention towards the Baku. His brow furrowed and he frowned a bit at her question.

"I don't plan on it, no," he said, "Didn't bring my guitar anyway."

Danny had been aiming a pencil at Roch for the past five minutes, but noticed when the Xiu girl and the Mitsu girl played. It was so ... weird. Creepy too. Perfect. After all, Halloween was about being weird and creepy, right?

The fire ghoul was getting annoyed of sitting for so long, so she slid over to the snack table and grabbed some worm chips. Mmmm worm chips. She nabbed a bag for Roch too, just in case. She was such a good friend. Without making a peep, she returned back to their esteemed "judges" table and sat right on the surface of the tale. Chairs were for squares. Still with her eyes on Xiu and Mitsu, she passed Roch the bag of chips and said, "They're weird. But good!"

When their little duet was finished Danny clapped and said, "You guys were great! Xiu you must teach me that flute thingy." Danny, queen of words. "A-ahem, I mean uhm. You two should be proud of yourself. You played very well," she said and then laughed at the seriousness of her tone Looking over to the reaper boy they were now talking to, she waved and shouted, "Are you gonna audition too!!" It was more of an exclamatory than a question, really.

Danny's eyes were on the pretty gryphon boil as he stepped up to sing. She was particularly interested in him because he was doing it acapella, which was usually pretty risky. With accompaniment, you could dwindle off and let the music take over, but with acapella you were all on your own. You either rocked it or you didn't. This would be interesting.

Huh, he has a twitchy eye. He should get that fixed. Well as long as he's a good singer!, Danny thought. Body language, thou art foreign.

When he started singing though! Danny was in love with the old fashioned swing of his voice. Her mother and father were constantly playing old records and dancing stupidly together, so she knew quite a few songs. However, the song Ren was singing was completely knew to her. The chords weren't that hard to follow, and she found her hands strumming them on an invisible guitar.

Then just like that the song was over, and the boil was bowing. Danny applauded and said, "That was wonderful! You should sing when you talk, it would be so pretty!" Her eyes were big and innocent- she really believed what she had just said. At Roch's comment, she turned her head and said, "A 'flapper' dress? I like some dresses ... but what is a flapper?" She thought for a moment more. "If I was wearing a dress, why would I pull it off? I mean my body temp is higher than most I know, but I don't just strip in public! Gosh Roch, what kinda lady do you take me for!" she said, with a fake tone to her voice. She withdrew herself, looking taken aback, but it was all fake.

Then s**t went down. Or rather, smacked into the door.

"PUPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" Danny roared. She tugged Roch's sleeve and eagerly urged, "Roch! Roch! Puppy is gonna audition! PUPPY IS GONNA AUDITION" Danny was flipping s**t. "Play next play next puppy!"

((side note- after your character has auditioned they can stay in the room and chill out (encouraged) or leave the room. just make sure you make it apparent that it's an exit post.))

Damien winced after realizing how loud his cursing was, as it brought a whole set of eyes on him. And he winced again for good measure after hearing the fire demon scream out the horrible name she had for him. If he wasn't so afraid of her ability to singe off all his fur and hair, he would have gladly corrected her by yelling back.

"I'm not a puppy." he groaned back after walking into the room further and tossing a slip of paper toward Roch. "And i'm not only here to steal your food. I'm auditioning." he said, strangely calm and collected even though on the inside he was almost having a panic attack.

After making his proclamation, he looked around and found a few friendly faces, and one Danny. He gave the Gryphon a wave from across the room "Hey I didn't expect to see you here!" he beamed over at the boil before nodding at Shun and giving Bul a brofist as he walked up to the Baku he met not long ago. "Afternoon Xiu, you play an instrument too?" he asked happily to her, tail swishing around at the room of welcoming people.

He was still sure that Danny was going to be the half out of it judge.

Damien once again, was feeling that bubble of nervousness in his stomach, or was it just gas? Either way he jumped from being put on the spot as he went around the room picking up the snare drum from the pile and a stand.

He was not going to march around using the standard holster for them. Oh no, it was going to have to be a warm day in October with a snowstorm before that would happen. The drumsticks that were in his pocket were taped up in stripes of black and green with little green bands on the tips as he checked the drum and the weight of the sticks before flipping the stick in the proper position in his left hand.

There were a few slow, strikes on the rim to get the beat before he went into his unorthodox routine. His tongue started to poke out behind sharp teeth as he kept looking straight ahead of him and not down at the flurry of the stick strikes. The hound felt weird about the performance, normally it sounded much more impressive with more people, just doing a solo literally alone just made him feel, out of place.

Thankfully the movement of his sticks stopped to let the final strike linger in the air before he visibly relaxed. "Uh, that was it, i guess." he said sheepishly and scratched the back on his neck with his sticks.

"That was really cool," Roch said, grinning slightly. "I'm impressed. Now you can go raid the table and make yourself comfortable. In fact... I'm not sure but you're the last interview that's in the room, right? So everyone just take a break and cop a squat, help yourself to the snacks, get to know one another if you don't already. We'll hang out and see if anyone else is coming."
