Its been freezing outside, near building doors was seen tall male. He had big scarf around his neck and hat on, waitting for somebody open the doors. Near enter was sign "only members allowed". He wasnt member. Yet. Suddently shorter female with Brown hair ties Into the ponytail open the doors. She smile letting guy inside.
"arent you a little bit late, mr. Campbell? Those roads at the winter killing us all. Trafic is just terrible! Our group member almost got in car accident after they slip!"
Female kept talking until she focus about the arrived male point.
"Aight. So you here for... Getting Into this band? Right? Come here, i get the others. Please feel like at home. You can sit on couch. "
Girl said with smile and gone behind doors Into the other room. Campbell sat down taking off his scarf and hat placing them near himself. He watching how slowly more people showed up. There was girl with orange/red hair tied Into the long braid and alot of earrings, rings, her clothes remind him of those people near beach who kept sitting around the campfire. Next was guy who seem was wearing... Dress? Or maybe tunic. Who knows. He had short and dark Brown hair and big cheerfull smile on his face. He looked really friendly, Next to him was guy with silver hair and seem pretty off hidding behind tunic guy. He had mask aswell, probobly just like hide his face. Finally the girl that he met first showed up when everybody sat down.
"Alright guys, since our last member decide to leave this group we needed drummer, and here we have. Norton campbell. I hope everything gonna be alright, also, he barely knows us. Eli, you can start"
Female smile at the cheerfull guy
"Hey there Norton, im Eli and i play electric piano or guitar here. Girl with red hair is fiona, she prefer keyboard aswell but also can play alot of other instruments, guy with mask is aesop. he usually plays bass guitar and Ummm.... He is a bit shy, right?"
Eli smile at aesop who was clearly hidding behind the other guitarist with death glare staring at the new one. That made Norton shiver down the spine.
"There we have martha, she can play any other instruments when we need, our group hope and also our second vocalist. Basicly she is our manager and our brain."
Eli, martha and fiona chuckle from the last sentence and with smile looked at the Norton. Male look at all of them and rise eyebrow
"And your... Main vocalist?..."
Martha looked away while pouting.
"You will meet that sassy bitch later. I didnt call him here since i dont want our mood to be ruinned. Now, enjoy your first day here. We all have little rooms for ourselfs so if you want you can stay! "
Martha smile at the new drummer and place tea on the table sitting wirh all of them and just smilling while chatting with eli. Aesop just kept quet behind eli.
"Well... We mostly sleepover at each other room aswell since we all are friends and thats just for fun. And if you really wanna..."
Fiona said and whisper to Norton's ear what made him a bit uncomfortible
"I can show you our main vocalist but just beware of his "i will ruin your mood" talent."
Red haired girl chuckle and stand up. Campbell only nods as agreement. He was curious about that misterious group member. He followed fiona without any other thaughts.
"Hey! Guys where are you going?"
Martha ask them while sipping her tea.
"Just going to show him around. Who else will do it, huh?"
Fiona smile at brunette and continue walking with Norton behind her. She finally reach room doors where was signs like "go away" "leave me alone" and "danger". Ravenette looked at the doors with confused look on his face. What kind of adult still didnt go thraught his 'edgy' teenger phase? Fiona open the doors and exposed dark room with single male form in the backround near the window.
"Naaaaiibbb meet our new memberrr~"
Fiona sing it out to the male Next to window. Siluet start moving and came near doors. When the light fall on male, Norton could see the person properly. Ocean blue eyes, Brown long hair tied Into messy low ponytail, smooth a bit more light chocolate color skin then Campbell had or any of other members. (sorry, im trying not to white wash characters. Mercenary is from nepal, but if you wanna imagine him as you want. Your choice)
He had perfect body built and wearing only jeans with black sleeveless shirt.
"What that bitch doing here. "
He said with a bit lower voice while glaring at the new drummer. Only now Campbell realize how actually short he was. He needed to look down to see grumpy man.
"Naib! Dont be so rude! I know that William leaving wasnt very happy moment but he clearly said that he is more interested in sports! C'mon! Be nice to our fresh drummer."
Fiona protected Norton from Naib's agressive words.
"Whatever. I know only that this bitch doesnt belong here. he WILL leave. This group suppose to be only our 'friends' group. And who the hell is he? A stranger. Completly random guy from streets who MIGHT can play drums. Our consert is literlly Next week. We cant afford his mistakes of not being able to play drums."
Naib Spit it out and shut doors right infront of both completly confused group members.
"Ah... Im sorry if you had to hear that.. its my fault that i drag you here. Anyways... I know you can play drums! Dont be worried about Naib! You will show that grumpy cat what you can do!"
Fiona smile at Norton and dragged him back to the table not letting him say a word. Meanwhile Campbell just sigh and start wondering about the guy he just met. Everything happend so fast... Those ocean blue eyes... They where so deep, so much danger in them. So much toxic danger. Norton shiver from the exsitment. He was deep inside his own thaughts and didnt really noticed how Time went fast and didnt even realize how he just teleported to his new room. it felt like a Time skip. All he remember that he had small Chat with group members and then they showed him his room and left there. Everybody seem went asleep. Campbell looked around the room finding few sticks and small drums who you where suppose to plug in headphones to keep silent near the others. There was common desk, comfortible bed, empty closet and small book shelf. The only thing that a bit impressed male was Window. Single but big window to the night town. This house wasnt the biggiest one, but it was on a little hill. He could see whole city from the window, beautiful lights from outside and up just dark sky and few stars. Ravenette smile and open the window. He looked outside with smile and relaxed for a little until he noticed something. There was few more Windows. Four Windows from the left side and one window from right. There must be other members rooms he gueessed. The window from right had lights on, and as male remember the way, it was Naib's room. He wonder for a moment what brunette was doing awake at 4am. He couldn't just ask him since he bet he might get kicked out. From window Norton couldn't get out either, there was bushed down and he wasnt that wild to just jump in them and make his all clothes dirty or just full of leafs. Campbell stand up and get out of his room going near wide awake guys room and looked thraught key hole. He could see black painted room with bed near the window. That was good idea having bed near window. He might do the same so he could just sit on his bed and stare at the city lights. Then he noticed 'main vocalist' sitting down on bed surrounded my papers. There was guitar on floor and even more papers with notes. Naib where sitting there and seem... Asleep? So he wasnt awake. Might just fall asleep while working. Norton stopped staring thraught the hole and before came back to his room checked other key hole near Next doors. There was Pure darkness but.. he was pretty sure he saw fucking coffin. Norton left speechless about this and decide that best way is just come back to his room and go to sleep before he noticed living corpses  dancing by micheal Jackson "thriller". Maybe the Next day Naib will relax and wont be so grumpy at repetitions? This band was popular, and that was kind of trouble for Norton, be had had no choice. He heard that they re-sing few songs and they went very well, he never heard of orinigal songs. He listen to people speaking that they are amazing but did he heard ant of them? Not yet. This group had soft songs, few rock and basicly anything what they had in mind. Campbell remember that he once heard about Naib. Someone in streets where talking about him. What exsacly? He didnt remember. And barely cared. The only thing Norton wanted to do is get some rest before day start. He probobly need alot of energy for that.
