Zurkie's Gastropup & Battleplex, Scarstu Debris Field

Y/N stood atop a stage in Zurkie's Gastropup, Rivet on his right and Robin on his left, both of them holding a guitar each. Behind the three, at a drum set marked with the logo 'SPACE INVADERS' in block letters, sat Mikey.

The entire pub screamed and cheered in unison as Y/N stepped towards the mic in front of him.

"Who's ready to get this night started?!" He yelled, earning more noise from the audience.

"That's not loud enough!" He exclaimed, pulling his hair from his forehead. "I said: WHO'S READY TO GET THIS NIGHT STARTED?"

The crowd continued to scream, much louder than before, and Y/N stepped away from the mic, putting his arms up in the air and signalling for the band to start playing their first song.

Robin, Rivet and Mikey wasted no time kicking the song off, repeating the same progression four times over before Y/N finally leaned into the mic, clutching it with his robotic hand, the crowd absolutely exploding.

🎶
Don't kill me, just help me run away-
From everyone! I need a place to stay,
Where I can cover up my face!
Don't cry, I am just a freak!
🎶

The crowd roared once more as the music picked up, heading into the song's chorus. While Y/N was singing he jumped around the stage, only adding to the energy of the pub.

🎶
I am just a freak!
I am just a freak!
I am just a freak!
🎶

The song moved back into a more instrumental and faded back down to the sound that it was when the song first started.

"I wanna hear you sing the next time we go into the chorus!" Y/N yelled over the music, earning roars from the crowd. "Come on, I know you know the words!"

Y/N reached into the back of his leather jacket and produced a red fox mask, strapping it over his face which made the crowd yell out much more.

🎶

My head is filled with parasites,
Black holes cover up my eyes!
I dream of you almost every night-
Hopefully I won't wake up this time!
🎶

Y/N pulled the microphone from the stand and danced around the stage as he sung, performing various moves depending on what line he was singing.

🎶

I won't wake up this time!
I won't wake up this time!
I won't wake up this time!
🎶

For this last chorus, the entire pub shouted the words and Y/N jumped up and down on the stage repeatedly, throwing his fist up in the air as he screamed the words himself, the microphone away from his mouth.

As soon as the band played the last note of Freaks, they moved on to the next song. The intro made the entire floor of the pub go quiet as Y/N put the microphone back on its stand, his mouth mere millimetres from touching it.

🎶
I lost the passion that comes with living...
Since I started university!
I took a geography course to learn the datelines,
And maybe use a sextant-
But now I just press facsimiles!
🎶

The crowd listened in anticipation for what was coming next, most of them having not heard the song before as they weren't from Earth.

Those who were, though - they joined in on Y/N's singing, cheering and shouting as he sang.

🎶
And you're exactly who you wanted to be-
Well, that's what you said,
'Cause you wanna watch TV and sleep all day and lay in bed, but-
You're forgetting that I've got to go to work and eat my food,
And pay my rent and reproduce then feed those kids and-
Maybe use a sextant.
🎶
