The Dean Principal sits in the theater. The set has been built... they only await... a script.

Callisto glared at Crichton. "I hate you."

Jingle bells, Jingle bells...

Clang.

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

John's voice cracks like a kid going through puberty throughout the entire song.

Anakin plays the banthabell.

Sullenly.

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
And days of auld lang syne, my dear,
And days of auld lang syne.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?

Callisto, having no knoweldge of Lowland Scots, wondered why half the words were spelt strangely.

John coughs, clears his throat and starts to sing again.

Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walking home from our house Christmas eve.
You can say there's no such thing as Santa,
But as for me and Grandpa, we believe.

She'd been drinkin' too much egg nog,
And we'd begged her not to go.
But she'd left her medication,
So she stumbled out the door into the snow.

"Mr. Crichton. Pressure points. Begin again."

Re: Song!

"Right, sir. Just warming up the vocal cords."

Here comes Santa Claus!
Here comes Santa Claus!
Right down Santa Claus Lane!
Vixen and Blitzen and all his reindeer
are pulling on the reins.
Bells are ringing, children singing;
All is merry and bright.
Hang your stockings and say your prayers,
'Cause Santa Claus comes tonight.

Clang.

"That's some good clanging, Anakin."

Re: Song!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Anakin replied, giving the bell another good whack. "How's your drumming coming along?"

Re: Song!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Uh, I should probably learn, huh?" He shrugs. "I guess I can try to wing it, huh?"

Re: Song!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Wing it, huh?" Anakin glanced over at Principal Bristow and lowered his voice. "After his thing about pressure points?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Your funeral."

Re: Song!

"Drumming can't be that hard, right?" John shrugs and looks at the banthabell. "I'm dead, aren't I?"

Re: Song!

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto facepalmed.

Re: Song!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"There might be a little bit of dead-ness, yeah," Anakin said, nodding. "Do you have the drum with you? It's not really that hard." He grinned. "I've always been a fan of the kettle drum myself. Kinda deep and forbidding sounding. Quite cool."

Re: Song!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John picks up his suddenly appearing drum. "Yeah, got it right here. See, I can beat on it just fine," John says and demonstrates that fact. "But, there's no type of song there."

Re: Song!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin put his banthabell down and gave the drum and few experimental bangs.

"Okay," he said. "Try something like this."

He banged out a few notes.

Dum dum DA dum DUM DA dum DUM DA dum.

It's fairly menacing.

Re: Song!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John is fairly menaced. That almost feels like foreshadowing...

John takes the drum back from Anakin and attempts to imitate his instruction.

Dum Dum DA Dum DUM DA dum DUM da DUM.

He thinks a note or two was off there.

Re: Song!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin listened, nodding his head.

"You were close. Try it again. A little slower, maybe?"

Re: Song!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John nods and picks up the drum again.

Dum dum DA dum DuM DA dum dum DA dum.

After he finishes, he shivers. That was weird.

"How bout that time?"

Re: Song!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

Anakin grinned. "Perfect."

Re: Song!

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John grinned back. "Man, that rhythm and that song. I feel like it's gonna be important one day."

Re: Song!

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"It is pretty cool, huh?" Anakin yanked at his braid. "Kinda theme-songy."
