     We all got up and went into Katsuki's dorm. Immediately going to our respected spots, Shoto and Hitoshi grabbing their guitars and Kat at his drums. I sat myself down infront of them on the floor. This outta be loud. 

     "So we have a handful of songs with potential, the first nameless song would probably be best to work with." We nodded and the boys began playing.

     Katsuki coming in first, and Hitoshi a few bars later, with Shoto following him. I made sure to count my rest so I didn't come in late. 1...2...3...4...1...2...3...4...

     " and if they get me, and the sun goes down into the ground. and if they get me take this spike to my heart and...." I sang softly.

     The beat starts to spead up some and I close my eyes feeling the music and atmosphere in the room.

     " and if they get me and the sun... goes down... and if they get me take this spike... and..."  This is where Kat's backing vocals come in " You put the spike in my heart. "

     The song continues with all of us getting into it. Shoto and Hitoshi have whispering lines through out the song. Almost like ghosts, me and Kat have most of the lyrics down though.  The begining is kind of repetative but they're doing so well. While I sing my parts I start to think of a costume design for this song. We would need to have  avideo for our first release anyways.  The next part is coming up and i need to focus. Alright Y/n.

     " and now the nightclub sets the stage for this, they come in pairs, she said... 'we'll shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey, they're always there' "

     We all have assigned lines for this next part. It'll be sort of like an intoduction to our personas in the band. Hitoshi starts.

     "someone get me to the doctor!"

     When he was younger he was expected to be a villain. He has a manipulative quirk and everyone thought so lowly of him. They still do. He's been bullied most of his life, but we know better than that. He will be a hero, he's already ours. Next, me.

     "someone call the nurse!"

     I also have a manipulative type quirk. I can alter one's reality put they in almost a dream like state. I've never been bullied for this so i don't know what its like to be thought less of because of your quirk. But I did "accidentally" leave someone in an altered reality for longer than I should've. Shoto was after me.

     "someone buy me roses!"

     Our pretty boy, Shoto Todoroki. He was bread to surpass All Might, but he's abused at home, and he just wants that attenion. To feel loved, to know he's doing something right, even when his father insists he's not. Finally, it was Kat's turn.

     "someone burned the church!"

     This one's self explanitory. Katsuki has an explosion quirk, He's burned a lot of things in his life. He's our bad boy. But someone ruined his passion for wanting to be a hero. Sure he would still enjoy it, and he doesn't want to be a villain, but his love for it hasn't been the same since All Might's retirement.

     The song went on with just me and our drummer singing.  The song gets softer then louder one last time before it comes to the end.

     "can you...stake me...before...the sun...goes...down?"

     Then a faint whisper from Shinsou " and as always, innocent like rollercoasters, fatality is like ghosts in the snow, and you have no idea what you're up against, because ive seen what they look like "

     We all catch our breath, and I smile back at the boys. It was amazing. We just need one more song. Maybe something that includes a little more of the horror factor.

     " Vampires Will Never Hurt You. That's the name of the song." Shoto was quiet but we heard him and agreed.

***

     The next song we practiced was completely from scratch. We called it Devil's Train and incorporated more vocals from Shinsou. Kat and I got the main verses, while Toshi had the lines that were supposed to mimic the train saying "follow me, follow me... follow me, follow me... follow me, follow me. I have something to show you". We decided that for both the recording and any shows we played this song at, he would wear his Artificial Vocal Chords device so he could change his voice for the train. Hhe also get to act as the devil in the converstation like verse toward the end.

     It was all coming together. We had an albums worth of songs and we were headed to the studio tomorrow to record some. Things were looking up for us.
