The place that Roch stopped wasn't out where everyone would find them. Sure it was close to the school building, but it was a small tree surrounded area that only people walking past would even notice. It looked a lot like he was trying to lose the competition right from the get go.

He lifted a fist, summoning his guitar and tuning it up silently before glancing at Demi. "You can keep a basic beat, right?" he asked. "If you can't, we'll just take turns playing. Also--" He pulled off the cap he had been wearing and tossed it onto the ground in front of him. "This isn't where this gig works the best, I'm betting, so don't expect much."

He did a bit of warming up chords, waiting for Demi to mention the lousy place he'd chosen, or to question why he'd picked the hellhound for his partner in the first place. To be honest, he'd thought about it a bit. But it all came down to one thing.

Was he good enough to draw people to him, regardless of his situation? The challenge had a tiny grin of anticipation playing on his lips. If he failed... then he needed to go back to the old school training, didn't he?

Demi followed along with the drum kit in his chest harness, its comfortable weight chiming along with every right step he took like a pendulum. It was a relatively serene spot still close to the campus quarters, but it was still a location with passerby's. And that would mean they have seeds.

"So, we're gonna play here huh?" he mused out quietly as the violet haired boil started tuning up and blinnked owlishly at the questions being thrown at him. If it was anybody else but Roch, he would have been miffed by the lack of trust in his skill, but it was just how Roch was with him. Direct and crass.

And the hellhound had no problem with that. "I can, let's hope you can keep up, magic fingers." he taunted back, and gave the drum cover a check and whipped out his head key to adjust the tightness of the skin. It wouldn't do well for him to blow out the snare drum skin out here, especially in front of his club leader.

"So, what do you want to play bub. or are we just going to wing it?" he asked after awhile, once the boil had finished up his tuning. he knew firsthand how important the process is. not to mention Damien didn't want to get stuck by the boil's instrument for being rude.

"Wing it!" Roch replied. "Hell, maybe people will even come up with requests," he said with a shrug. "Then I can look like a real dumbass if I don't know them," he added with a little grin. It didn't look as if he was taking this very seriously.

"Wing..." he went on, thoughtfully. "You know Little Wing? It won't be exact with just a snare, but I think we can pull it off," he asked, warming his fingers up with a quick scale before he started playing this song. He'd played it for Lizzy without a drum at all, so he figured he could pull it off with just a snare.

Ah it was a lovely day for a walk. The straw haired, moon eyed reaper Lilura set out for a walk by herself. Cloak was stalking the dorm while Tortalo was resting back at her room after a hard day's practice. Today she had changed into a new outfit. The female reaper decided she needed an occational change in clothes. She choose a path around the building when suddenly she heard music.

"What in jack's name?" she blinked and began to walk towards the music.

Apparently it was two boils playing near an old tree. One boy, a reaper most likely, was playing guitar; a hellhound seemed to be on the drums. She smiled softly, the drums reminding her of her boilfriend Nyyrikki. She had missed him since he began practicing but she wanted to be encouraging.

She walked up to the two boils and listened quietly. The guitarist was pretty good, maybe she should mention him to Nyyrikki later. For now she stood there and appriciated the sound of the boy's ax guitar.

"Of course we wing it." Damien said stupidly, it was Roch after all. Demi returned back the guitarists grin with his own. "You mean we'll both look like dumb asses, its the both of us in this, together." he reminded him playfully, and pulled out a cymbal from his backpack and a little stand for it to go on.

It wasn't a complete drum kit, but it would have to do. It wasn't like he had any experience with a bass drum anyways.

The hound gave it some careful thought, and tried to see if the song title rang any bells. "well, I don't think I heard of it." he muttered regretfully before giving his partner a smirk. "But that's what improvisation is for right? Play it a bit and I'll make up something to go with it." Giving his leader all the confidence in the world.

Roch didn't waste a moment before he took the lead, and left him counting the beats and threw a gentle baseline beat into the track. He was already lost into the moment and the fear of playing in front of strangers went away long before he even thought about it.

Roch almost laughed as a gnome ran up to the hat, tossing two seeds in before disappearing into the trees again. Who knew? He finished up the song, enjoying himself a lot more than he had expected to. Sure, he liked doing his job, but he had missed having a partner to play with. Of course, there was only one reaper ghoul sitting there listening (and who knew how many hidden gnomes?) but still.

"Nice," he said to Demi, grinning widely. "I figured this would work out fine." Then he turned to the reaper ghoul. "Hey. I'm Roch, that's Demi, and you are?"

Well it didn't seem like they were completely together in the music but the beat did have a nice rhythm to it. But she couldn't be too harsh, these were just students and not professionals. She clapped softly as they finished, meeping a bit as a gnome appeared and dropped a few seeds into their hat. She shook her head, gnomes were such strange creatures.

She smiled softly as she was addressed and nodded to the both of them, "Nice to meet you guys. I'm Lilura from the Reaper Dorm. Hope you guys don't mind an audience."

The reaper girl smiled and brushed a long lock of straw colored hair from her face. The boils were kinda cute, even the fuzzy one. And she did have a thing for a boil in a band, after all she loved listening to Nyyrikki play. She blushed a bit, thinking perhaps it was wrong of her to look at these other boils but she couldn't help it. It wasn't like she was flirting with them! Then again she didn't consider the outfit she was wearing at the moment.

Demi let the cymbal ring out for a few beats before giving it a gentle stop with a finger and came back to the present and the realization of what he just did.

And promptly felt his cheeks flush from embarrassment, mostly cuz there was somebody sitting there through the song. "Uh, thanks Roch." he mumbled shyly before giving the ghoul a wave with his drumsticks, even if they were shaking.

"Its nice to see that you enjoyed it, miss Lilura." he sputtered out, losing his calm and feeling the awkward panic set in. He scratched his shoulder with the drumsticks like a makeshift backscratcher before speaking up again. "Do you have any requests, we can play it the best that we can." he asked quietly, fully expecting Roch to make fun of his sudden shyness.

Roch looked back at the hellhound with a bit of confusion. He raised an eyebrow, silently questioning the other boil. He hadn't expected this... then again, he probably should have. The ghoul was a reaper, and a pretty cute one at that. Actually, now that he thought about it, he should really be feeling a but awkward too, right?

A hint of red crept up the back of his neck and he glowered at Demi for making him feel self conscious. How could a guy that'd been doing this as long as he had suddenly have stage fright? That just wasn't right! He blamed it completely on Demi.

Oh well, he thought, dismissing it off hand as his fingers absently touched his guitar. They'd just have to deal with it. "Requests are fine," he told the ghoul. "But I don't promise I'll know them... or play them."

Holly wasn't sure of where she was going. Okay that was a lie. She was going to sneak around one of school buildings but wasn't really going to tell anyone that. At lot had been on her mind recently and she almost passed the little group by. What exactly were they doing?

Not a great question, she could tell they were attempting to play some sort of music. The ghoul stopped and watched the group for a moment. She wasn't sure what it was suppose to sound like, not having listened to much music nor never played an instrument anyway.

And look. She recognized some of them. Or one. "Demi? Didn't know ya played instruments. What are you guys doing out here?" Holly had missed the part about taking requests but wouldn't know what to ask for anyway.

Lilura smiled at the two boils as they played. The song was really good. She couldn't help but giggle a bit when both looked a little self concious at suddenly being watched. Well they had better get use to it if they wanted to make some seeds. Her full moon eyes glanced at the purple haired reaper as he spoke of requests.

"Hmm. Well, instead of a specific song how about a genre? I love Spanish music, do you know any spanish themed songs?" she asked encouragingly. After all she didn't want to ask for a bunch of songs and neither of the boils know them. It would embaress them and that wasn't something she wanted to do.

Suddenly a ghoul appeared who seemed to know the hellhound. She smiled and nodded to the other ghoul then looked back to the group. It seemed boil bands always attracted girls. What was it about them? She didn't know, but she knew she liked to listen to Nyyrikki play his drums. He was so cute when he blushed when she complimented him.

"They are playing for seeds it seems. And taking requests," she smiled to Holly.

As if things couldn't get even more awkward, Damien saw the familiar face of the fox PJ'd ghoul Holly. It was indeed a familiar and friendly face but, its wasn't like she knew he played a couple of instincts.

"Hey Holly." he called back, rubbing the back of his neck humbly at the ghoul. "oh, yeah hehe, I dabble a bit with instruments, we're just trying to raise funds for our club." he chuckled shyly to holly, unable to feel much at ease like he normally was around her and the other students he met on the island trip.

The request that Lilura had caught his attention and had the hound thinking about it. "I'm more of a classical person, but I can throw a beat together, Roch, you have any ideas?" he asked quietly to smoothly pass the buck on over to the guitarist instead.

That little itch was back in the back of his head. Roch frowned, trying to concentrate on the question. "I... well, Spanish style, huh? Well, I mean, there's always Samba Pa Ti," he said, glancing over at Demi. The new ghoul... was she wearing her pajamas? Weird. And he kinda felt the urge to take a step back, but he turned his attention to his guitar.

"Let's see..." he said quietly, looking a bit unfocused, which was strange for the guitarist. When he played he always seemed focused. But he started playing, and that thought was lost.

Lilura smiled brightly as the boil with the guitar started playing Samba Pa Ti. She knew the song as well and it was a good one! She closed her eyes and listened happily to the song, enjoying the gentle strums of the guitar. Spanish and Latin American music always made her feel like she was at home again.

The blonde began to dance a little to the music, swaying to the gentle beat. She was suddenly not so self concious with the music. She even forgot the ghoul standing with them but continued to dance a simple dance her mother had taught her as a little girl. She continued until the last note was played.

"Oh that was wonderful!" she clapped. Sadly she had no seeds to give them. She had already spent them over the weekend buying something nice to wear to the next dance. "You guys are really good!"

Demi listened the his club leader with his giant furry ears as the boil set the tone with his guitar and its dulcet tones that rang out for a beat. It felt like a slow, sensual song and needed the equiptment for such a song as he fiddled in his bag for a mallet stick and followed up with it in one hand, his other free into order to treat the drum like a makeshift bongo.

he tried his best to feel out the song by ear, and learning when it was best to let Roch handle his solos, and keeping the beat with the butt of the stick at the rim of the drum with a gentle tap. And it was over just as quickly as it began.

The hound couldn't help but flush at the praise, it was so personal and yet, here there was a ghoul, not ridiculing them, but encouraging them in their scary endeavor. "Really, thank you. we are just glad that you're enjoying it Miss Lilura." he said warmly and prodding Roch in the ribs with the soft felt of the mallet.
