"Alright, take it from the top again!"
The sound of Black Sabbath's Iron Man thundered throughGareth's basement. Eddie's band, Corroded Coffin, was practicing before their show at the Hideout. A small bar in Hawkins was all they had for now but, Eddie thought if they worked hard enough, one out of those five drunks would be a stressed record exec looking for the next big thing.
But he could only hope.
His band was having a bit of trouble performing the song. The problem was, that they were all tired from their D&D session last night that went on for way too long but, they thought it was well worth it besides, they still had time to practice.
Everyone decided to go on a short break so Eddie sat down on a metal fold-up chair to go over a few chords of the song he couldn't get right. A moving shadow came over him, that blocked the sunlight that shone into the garage, Eddie figured that it was Gareth or Jeff about to ask him something but when he looked up he was proven wrong.
It was Soleil, her braids were still tied back but now, she wore a black leather skirt with a big belt buckle, a matching cut-off top, a big jean jacket that had many buttons and pins on it even, a couple of Chanel brooches, and a couple of gold bracelets. She had a cassette tape player attached to her and headphones over her ears.
Her look was a bit different from how she usually dressed but then again, she told Eddie to expect anything unexpected from her. Eddie wasn't complaining though, he liked the rocker look.
"Sol!" He called the first time, but she didn't hear him and almost walked past him. "Sol!"
The girl looked around and took off her headphones then, she turned her attention to Eddie and smiled at him. "Hey, Eddie." The other boys in the band watched as she entered the garage, they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Sneak out again?"
"Yeah, needed fresh air. I got an intense show later on today."
"No, kidding." He let his guitar hang over his body. "When do you rest?"
"Rarely."
"Hey, Munson. Are you gonna introduce us or what?" Gareth came from behind Eddie, looking at Soleil.
"Oh right, this is Soleil, she's in the Circus."
Gareth offered a handshake which Sol took. "I'm Gareth and over there is Jeff and we are Corroded Coffin." Jeff waved. Gareth looked around. "Our other member isn't currently here so—we are 3/4's of Corroded Coffin."
"Cool band name."
"Thanks, I—"
"Speaking of the band," Gareth glared at Eddie for interrupting. "You want to hear us play? We've been working on trying to play Iron Man."
