Glee Club, Music Room, Thursday Afternoon [ 09/30 ].

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

As if her excitement over the first meeting of the Glee Club wasn't enough, there had to have been unicorns. Ariel barely had time to set up, what with the back-and-forth that kept happening between here giggles. She had such vivid hair, but the unicorn's was so soft! She had a lovely singing voice, but the unicorn had such dazzling eyes. So it was a good thing there wasn't much to set up. And then people started showing up.

"Hello, everyone!" Ariel greeted them brightly. "Welcome to our first Glee Club meeting! Now, I know I got a chance to talk to some of you at the Fair, but those of you who I didn't, you'll know that Glee Club is basically a club for getting together, singing songs, and having a good time. I'd like to perform on occasion, too, especially a big show at the end of the year, but that's not important right now. We can get into all that later. Right now, you should all have prepared a song that you feel works as a good way to introduce yourself! Much better than boring old 'Hi, my name is...' introductions."

"NEIGH!" said the unicorn. "You are so clever and thoughtful."

Which sent Ariel giggling a little and nodding to the unicorn. "Thank you. And you are very wise and perceptive! Anyway, if you didn't prepare a song, that's okay, too! Maybe you'll think of one on the fly, or, if not, you don't have to perform. This is a club about fun, and if you're just not feeling it, then that wouldn't be any fun, but hopefully you can have fun singing along with others."

"Any questions? If not, let's go ahead and get started! And, next week, since this week is parent's weekend, keep an ear open for song to sing that might express how that was for you! And let's not forget to give a big thanks to Mister Deadpool and Master Skywalker for being our advisors. They're really awesome for doing thing!"

"NEIGH!" the unicorn turned happily toward them. "You are so tolerating!"

"Let's get this show on the road!"

There's sodas and water, but Ariel has actually passed up her usual junkfood tenancies for things that seemed better suited for singing, like fruits.

And, okay, cookies. You had to have cookies. Either way, she figured everyone might like to munch while settling in before performing, and the unicorns were sure to compliment your palette.

If Medusalith looked nervous, it had nothing to do with being expected to sing, even though she totally didn't have a song prepared because she didn't know anything about human music. It was because she still didn't know whether these people expected Blackagar to sing and kill them all or not.

The unicorn reassuring her that she was beautiful and had gorgeous hair wasn't really helping, because it had been doing that all day and she was starting to worry it might slip in 'you're doing a great job of pretending to be human!' or something.

Jono did not feel like mingling today. And Jono did not feel like chatting today. Jono was dreading the influx of guests to the island tomorrow, skulking about on the far end of the music room, clinging to his guitar, and resisting the urge to kick every happy friendly thing that approached him in the face.

"NEIIIGH! You have so much self-control!"

Yes. Still resisting.

Alexander still wasn't quite certain if joining this club was a good idea, but he had missed all that singing like a pirate, so it seemed a fairly nice alternative.

"Yellow is a wonderful color on you," a unicorn offered as he sipped his soda.

"Er, thank you."

Re: Mingle & Chat -- Glee, 09/30.

Quinn sipped water and projected absolute calm. Whether she actually felt calm or not, she believed, was beside the point; the point was that she was not going to let anyone there see that she was nervous.

Not that she was nervous. Of course.

"You're going to do a great job!," the unicorn told her. "You might not have the best range ever, but you sing with so much feeling! And you can always dance."

That didn't help.

Ellie was still feeling a bit gloomy about the upcoming weekend, so mingling was not something she was especially in the mood for.

"You have such a pretty smile!" a unicorn said, interrupting her thoughts.

Of course, that compliment was enough to get her to actually smile.

Re: Mingle & Chat -- Glee, 09/30.

[hotmugofstfu.livejournal.com]

Blackagar was partaking in the cookies and water while the unicorn following him around continued to ramble.

"You have so much self control!" it neighed, prancing around. "And are so much nicer than Dan Humphrey!"

Re: Mingle & Chat -- Glee, 09/30.

[trigons_child]

Ooh, fruit. Raven approved.

"Neigh! You have excellent eating habits," a unicorn told her.

Re: Mingle & Chat -- Glee, 09/30.

Robin was his usual bouncy self. Well, maybe slightly more bouncy than usual. And he'd brought both his guitar and his banjo.

Re: Mingle & Chat -- Glee, 09/30.

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

Puck really wasn't a unicorn kind of guy. Like, at all. But as he was hanging around the fringes of the crowd with his guitar, cramming cookies into his mouth, he was startled by a whinny.

"You have such nice muscles!" the unicorn told him.

"Thanks," he said after a moment. "I know."

"And you're so confident!"

Re: Mingle & Chat -- Glee, 09/30.

Rinoa was munching on cookies and looking for people to flag down. Especially Ariel, because girl, they needed to talk.

Sing! -- Glee, 09/30.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Step on up and perform your song for introducing yourself! No one is really sure how this manages to work, but there will be music and others who feel inclined to join in should! And then everyone can chat about the song and get to know you better through it.

Or something. Dancing? Also completely allowed and encouraged.

Re: Sing! -- Glee, 09/30.

[furnaceface]

Jonothon did not sing. Jonothon was not entirely certain how he had managed to get talked into this in the first place, but that one fact, that he didn't sing, was going to never change.

Which was why he had taken a moment to set up his guitar and amp, instead. Granted, the music room likely had all of those things, but this was his guitar (and it was a Fender Stratocaster and if anybody touched it they would die in a horrible ball of flame) and his amp, and so he felt, somehow, that using his own equipment was somewhat like the equivalent of using his own voice, if you squinted.

... Really, was anybody surprised that Jono's song of choice today was Pearl Jam's Alive?

It was distinct enough that maybe, on the off chance that there were a few fans of 90's grunge in the room, perhaps somebody would be able to fill in that vocal void where his own voice couldn't be. And the lead guitar was interesting enough that he could perform it solo without worrying about the lack of other instruments filling it in.

Win-Win.

Well, no point in putting it off. Alexander felt his song wasn't exactly the best for Ariel's 'assignment,' but it was one he felt revealed at least the most important part of his heart, and so he was going to go for, went up to a mic, cleared his throat, and sang (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59cvtzhkoUQ).

"Time to go. I'm gonna hit the highway,
time to leave, the dawn's coming on...
Packed my bags, I said my goodbyes.
Gonna break my bread, up the road ahead!

There's a place that I'm looking for, ocean blue and summer (green?). Where I wandered once before, on the far side of a dream. Where I wandered once before, on the far side of a dream. On the far side of a dream...

Hurry on, on to the next horizon, race the clouds and run with the sun. I gotta get all the way to the mountaintop I gotta date somewhere, in those clouds up there.

There's a place that I'm looking for, ocean blue and summer green. Where I wandered once before, on the far side of a dream. Where I wandered once before, on the far side of a dream. On the far side of a dream...

There's a place that I'm looking for, ocean blue and summer green. Where I wandered once before, on the far side of a dream. Where I wandered once before, on the far side of a dream. On the far side of a dream...On the far side of a dream!"

Not too shabby, really. The unicorn seemed to think so, anyway.

Instead of killing everyone by trying to sing, Blackagar stuck to the musical basics. In this case, it meant the drums!

He closed his eyes and nodded before slowly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR9GiA7Hg_A&feature=related) starting up a rhythm for his cousin totally cousin to work off.

Quinn's song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afJYUwxG3tY) was something she'd memorized for a cheer workshop as part of a choreography exercise. As such, the singing was a bit beside the point -- but she sang it more than well enough, and she had the words and the little gestures that went with them down cold, not to mention her smile.

All that she was missing was her back-up singers and dancers.

From the moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup
I say a little prayer for you..
While combing my hair now
And wond'ring what dress to wear now
I say a little prayer for you...

Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart, and I'll love you
Forever, and ever, we never will part, oh I love you
Together, forever, that's how it should be
Living without you
Would only mean heartbreak for me...

She grinned at the group as she finished, seeming confident that had gone off well.

Re: Sing! -- Glee, 09/30.

Raven went with the original song she had chosen, much less nervous today than she would have been if Jono hadn't told her she wasn't bad. She had a good voice but could definitely use some training to make it better.

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
When your heart's not open

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key

There was no dancing since she really didn't know how to do that.

Ariel had plenty of time to think about this, but, when it got down to it, she still wasn't sure what was the best song to sing when you got right down to it. So she just closed her eyes, cleared her mind, and went with whatever came to her first (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex3n6nFJbSo).

"Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has everything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I've got twenty!
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?
Oh - feet!

Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down a - what's that word again?
Street

Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free - wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land they understand
That they don't reprimand their daughters
Proper women sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it - what's the word?
Burn?

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love, love to explore that world up above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world"

It had been difficult for Robin to narrow down what to sing, but finally he had come to a decision (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbOjX9TRWTk).

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That I was Romeo, I was throwing pebbles
And your daddy said stay away from Juliet
And you were crying on the staircase
Begging me please don't go, and you said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So you sneak out to the garden to see me
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause I was Romeo, you were a scarlet letter
And your daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to me
You were begging me please don't go and you said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Juliet save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and you said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
I knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Sure, why not? Everyone's song is sung, but no one's in a hurry, right? Maybe you can even get together and make plans for next time.

Talk to Ariel -- Glee, 09/30.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Who is certainly hoping for a success, especially after the unicorn confirmed that she has done a wonderful job.

Talk to the Advisors -- Glee, 09/30.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Be sure to thank them once they ping in. Preferably in song. They'll love it!

Re: Talk to the Advisors -- Glee, 09/30.

Anakin really needed to learn to ask what things were before he agreed to advise them. He'd just decided that.

He had his arms crossed over his chest, looking decidedly ungleeful.

"You're so handsome when you smile," the unicorn wheedled.
