    Muse A and Muse B are both talented young musicians, both drumming for two different touring bands. They're happy, touring around the country, making noise just to make ends meet, until Muse A makes one slip up and gets cut from the band. That same night, Muse B also does something stupid and gets kicked out of their band. Both bands are without drummers, and both drummers are without bands. They're both stuck half across the country, not knowing where to go or how to get home. So both end up putting whatever money they have left, grab a motel and try to figure out what to do. Unfortunately, they don't have enough funds nor the right connections to get shipped back home.





    [b]TWIST A: The two are already in a romantic relationship, or close friends.
    TWIST B: The two actually have a deep loathing for each other and are unaware of how they can tolerate each other under such circumstances.
    TWIST C: Muse A gets a call from Muse B's old band, asking if Muse A could play. Whereas Muse B gets a called from Muse A's old band, asking if they could play in turn.

    - please be semi advanced and up. I expect a few paragraphs from you and good grammar and spelling (I totally understand if English isn't your first language!). I put quite a bit of work in my replies - it's both discouraging and annoying when all I get is one or two paragraphs with little effort. Unless you have low muse, I really appreciate at least three paragraphs. And with detail and stuff. also if you post like two replies and then don't answer, i will actually cry.
    - I literally don't care about swearing. You don't have to censor, even if it's a lot of cussing. Just don't use slurs - that's all I'm asking.
    - It doesn't matter what muse you are. They're both equally significant and have the same roles. I prefer you play a male, around 21, as Gunner is 21. Also, I added extra twists at the end of the plot, so if you want to go with one of those, that's fine, or if you have your own, that's also fine !! just please let me know in your response so I'll know where to go.
    - please know that this roleplay will be mature. There will be sensitive topics - the main characters are elbowing their ways to fame, which could potentially mean substance abuse, anxiety, disorders and so on. My character generally cusses a lot, and drinks quite a bit. she also has some stuff from her past that will most likely be brought up. If you have any particular triggers, please let me know, and I will accommodate as to not make you feel uncomfortable!
    - so basically, hop in with a reply and whatever. Please state if you want a specific twist, so I can keep that in mind. A form isn't needed, but appreciated !! Also please, for the love of God, don't use drawn images as face claims !! also i'd marry you if you used an actual band member ?? like, honestly ??

    A sea of voices sang along to the last song - a rock song that made the guitarist thrash the stage, the bassist hop into the crowd, and the singer start screaming. A bunch of fans started appearing, towering over the rest of the crowd, and being carried around with multiple hands. One ended up on the stage. A frantic, wide-eyed boy, who let a big mischievous smile crawl on his face. The security were yelling at him to get down, but he stepped back, got a running start and flung himself into the crowd. If Gunner could do this every night for the rest of her life, she would.




    Her knuckles started to burn and ache. She had grown very tired, but the adrenaline rushing through her veins, the dopamine racing with her pulse, kept her going. even though her skin started to break and fresh blood was splattering on her drums, it's still a beautiful feeling. The stinging of wood didn't bother her. Her blood staining her set didn't bother her. Nothing did. Not when she was on stage behind her set.




    The last hit on the ride left the crowd going wild. The lead singer, a boy with a mop of red-red hair put his fists up, thanking the crowd of the rather small venue one last time. The same thing he says every night - "tip your bartenders, use protection, thank you for coming and have a good night!". The lights faded quickly, allowing the musicians to take a breather for a moment. The cheers died down, people began to file over to the bar area of the club, or down to the basement where the real party was at. An orange ambiance dimmed on, illuminating the stage, just enough so the musicians can see where they were going whilst they rushed back and forth, putting away their gear, loading stuff into cases.




    Gunner had to sit down for a moment - she plopped herself on the floor, sitting criss-crossed. She needed a rest. She could do it all night, yeah, but she needed just - just a nice rest. A moment to cool down. And, fortunately, her mates agreed, and sat down near her. She tugged at her shirt, trying to cool her hot body down, the material clinging to the salty sweat on her skin. Her throat ran dry. Her teeth started to gnash in irritation after each clearing of her throat. Her eyes rolled in annoyance, her hands shaking just a bit. Her after-party was starting - the crashing after an adrenaline rush, the realization that she had spilled beer on herself, and the regret of not calling and checking in on her aunt.




    "Gunner," The guitarist, a pretty girl with dark skin and big brown eyes, and big hips to boast, sat down near Gunner. She had a cup of booze in her hand, held out in front of Gunner. The strong stench caused the freckled girl to crinkle her nose. It generally would be appealing, except she believes the smell of beer and sweat shouldn't be mixed. Her stomach did a somersault, her hand pushing the drinks way. The dark girl with the long green dreads shrugged. "Oh, well? Huh. Suit yourself."




    The cinematic scene had turned into the most anticlimactic interaction ever. Everyone had turned morbidly silent, while they listened to the chatter of the crowd. The multiple voices were starting to die down. Now all Gunner wants is to take a really, really, reeeallly long nap. But she couldn't yet. By now, she had grown tired of sitting around, her head on Melanie's - that's the guitarist - shoulder. "Well," Gunner starts to get up from her trancey state. "I'm leaving. Have fun doing whatever you need to do."




    "Oh, Gunner," Taylor, the red haired singer, turned all the way, looking at her as she walked away. She rolled her eyes, stopped in her tracks and peeked over her own shoulder. The air got really still. "I need to talk to you in a bit, okay? We have to discuss something before we get back to the hotel." Everyone's eyes settled on her, as if they knew what was going on. Maybe they did. Who knows. Gunner offers and a small uh-huh in return and is off to find a new adventure.




    // i left this space open, so you could introduce your character, and set where they're at. Or perhaps you'd like them to run into Gunner backstage or something. Whatever you do, I'll go from there. thanks <3

    Ashton could feel the music. It was in his blood and bones, pounding in his skull. Even when he wasn't sat on stage, drum sticks in hand, he was as connected to the music as ever. His band, a small rag tag group of four, had played earlier in the venue, and now it was their turn to cool off and enjoy the rest of the evening.


    The lights were dim backstage, and the music was quieter, muffled by the stage set itself, but he could feel the beat of the drums in his bones, and his free hand tapped a rhythm against his leg in time with the beat. In his other hand he held the neck of a beer bottle loosely, taking a swig every now and again. It wasn't his favorite, but it was certainly preferable to some of the crap people were drinking here tonight. The fumes stung his nose, which he wrinkled sourly as a girl passed by with a rather acrid smelling solo cup of God only knew what.


    He raised the bottle of beer to his lips and took a small drink, choking it down when the guitarist in his band, Laclan, slammed a hand between his shoulder blades. "What's the matter, Ash? A bit lightweight, eh?" Ashton responded with a tight lipped smile, swiping a hand over his mouth and raising his drink with a shrug.


    "Just not really in the mood," he offered with a wide smile. Laclan gave a shrug of his own, as if saying 'Suit yourself,' and wrapped his arm back around the pretty young blonde who had accompanied him. She looked as if she had had quite too much to drink, and clung to the guitarist's shirt with a bubbly giggle. She blew a kiss in the drummer's direction, and he flashed her a fake smile in return, dipping his head.


    The song that the band on stage was playing was coming to an end, Ash could feel that much. The few final notes rang out clear and dizzying, and his heart hammered in time with each final boom of the bass drum. The lights shut off altogether and the crowd roared at the band's finale, the cheering gradually fading as people dispersed. Ash swore he could feel the rush the band themselves carried with them as they finished up their show for the night, and it made his teeth flash in a smile that was entirely real. A deep dimple on his right cheek popped up, and he sighed, clenching his empty fist at his side.


    The other members of his band- the singer, a slim sandy haired boy named Matt, and the bassist, a dark haired boy from Florida, and Laclan- seemed to be getting ready to disperse. Most likely headed downstairs to party, or going to see how many girls they could snag for the night. Ash must preferred to keep to himself and go downstairs to talk and listen to some music. Sleeping with whatever girls he could get his hands on wasn't exactly his idea of a fun night, especially when ninety percent of those girls were sure to be drunk off their rockers.


    He sat down on his box drum and pulled out his phone, flicking through a few messages. One from his little sister, and two from his friend Kyle back home. He kept almost everything else on 'do not disturb,' save his personal twitter and snapchat. The band's accounts were constantly flooded with notifications, and while he was grateful, he hated the lack of privacy. As well as how fast it drained his battery.


    Matt kicked his foot as he passed, smiling. "Hey Ash, tell Lucy I say hi. We're headed out to mingle, feel like coming?" Ash got on well with the other guys, they were, after all, his brothers, but he had always gotten on with Matt the best. He was the youngest and Ashton was the oldest, and Matt had this awkward boyish charm about him that reminded Ashton of his little brother, Tommy.


    He gave a smile to the singer and nodded. "Yeah I will, man. And nah, I'm good. Gonna head back to the hotel and crash. Have fun with the boys." He grinned, eyes flashing. "Better take that singer's advice. Tip the bartender, use protection, all that." He elbowed him with a laugh as the younger boy went bright red, and exchanged a few words with the rest of the band. "I'll see you guys."


    The other three all dispersed, but Matt paused just before exiting the back of the stage. "Oh! Ash," he pushed some hair out of his eyes with a shrug. "We're gonna have a little meeting in the morning, so don't get too drunk, yeah?" His grin was bright and sly, and he knew well enough the drummer being hungover would be the least of their worries.


    Ash chuckled slightly, watching the boy go before shooting his sister a message and standing up, rummaging around for his backpack. Once he found it, he pulled his hoodie on and slung the strap over his shoulder, tossing his half empty beer bottle in the trash can. He'd stop and chat for a bit, then catch a ride to the hotel to crash. He was exhausted, and the days were long on the road.

    Gunner Bauer's adrenaline rush had calmed down - now she really felt the burning sensations in her cracked knuckles, and now her ears were ringing loudly. Her mates were left behind, all of them dwindling from total consciousness and sobriety by the moment. As she shuffled off into the catacombs of back stage, she stared at her abused, calloused hands, hoping she could bandage them up soon. Tiny bits of blood rolled down and dripped into the wrinkles of her hands. "Gross," she mutters, bringing a bleeding finger between her lips and sucking on the blood - she'd rather not leave blood everywhere behind the set.




    She kept her eyes locked on every step, rather than what lay before her. There had been no need to watch where she's going - she didn't care where she winded up. Now she sort of really regrets turning down that drink Mel had offered. The mingling voices faded - the ones belonging to the crowd, as well as her mates - behind her. She felt a little bit at ease. A little bit.




    The girl looked up just enough to make eye contact with a tatted up security guard - "You're a 'ringer to my pops," - and keeps the eye contact just enough for both of them to flash uncomfortable smiles. That's one thing the band had learned - the buff, tatted guards and roadies were the softies, the ones who were always kind and did anything to help. The smaller guys, the ones that had twig-thin calves and enough upper body muscle mass to topple over were the more vitriolic. Probably the ones who had their cheerios pissed in as a child.




    Gunner continued her trek to nowhere in particular, until her eyes settled on Ashton. His band had been touring with her own. The bands shadowed each other and stalked each other around malls. Taylor usually had been the one that recorded, tweeted, instagrammed and snapchatted every time the bands hung out. Every time they did something stupid like thrash a dressing room before a show, leaving random shit overturned or shattered.




    "Oh, hey, hoodie," Gunner calls out, quickening her pace. "Ashton," she adds for dramatic effect. Gunner didn't really want to be left alone, and, honestly, her mates were a little to out-of-it to make good company. "Good show tonight. Kicked ass." Great job, Gunner - you suck at conversation starters.




    // ah i hope you feel better, if you haven't already, mate !! and no need to rush <3 also sorry for this kind of short post. i'm supposed to be writing an essay and im a lil,,,stressed,,,,youcould say [s]it's due tmrw morning
