"Guys! Guys, guys, guys, guys!" Kristine came bouncing towards her friends, her excitement radiating off her voice alone. "I have great news!"

Recreyo, the newly-formed band of four, all looked up at her. For the past hour, they had been practicing in the borrowed, previously vacant music room. Being after-school hours, the building was nearly all empty, and with their interesting music, many other people left earlier.

But, of course, their loyal manager and cheerleader Kristine always stayed. She tried her best to advertise the group, even though she often got brushed off by her classmates and even more by the adults she encountered. This time, though, she appeared to have more luck.

"We got a chance to perform! Next week, there's going to be bands playing all night downtown in the park! It's a chance for all kinds of underground artists to be noticed! Like you guys!"

Ivan, their pianist, scratched his head nervously. "God, but that means there's going to be, like, actually good people there, right?"

"Are you implying we're not good?" Den inquired, her drumsticks drooping from her hands. She leaned over her large instrument, staring into Ivan's aviators. "Speak for yourself!"

"It might be good to meet other bands, actually. Maybe we can replace Ivan for a better musician." Christian laughed, still holding onto his guitar.

Kristine looked over to the last member, the one who usually had the most say. Their lead singer, one could call him.

Curt put his microphone down onto the stand, and walked towards the side to grab his water bottle. After downing it, he gave his own input.

"I think it's a great opportunity. Although, I can't say we'll be exactly appreciated..." His voice sounded slightly coarse, having been strained for their practice session. "But hey, maybe we'll really get a chance to get out there."

"I can make a post about it tonight!" Kristine said. Being the manager, she also shared control over their social media.

Ivan hummed, "Well... if we're really sure about this... I can make some business cards or free merch'. Something like that to make sure we're remembered afterwards."

"I'll help and make sure you don't forget to make multiple copies.." Den teased.

Curt smiled at all of the enthusiasm. "I guess that leaves the job of organizing everything to me. Well, I'm not at all surprised--"

Suddenly, Christian's guitar was put away and he snuck up behind Curt. He put his arm around the other and grinned, "Actually, I was thinking I'd help with that. Let me do the talking with the managers. I'll get us extra time, some fancy lights, and- ooh, maybe I can borrow a smoke machine, too!"

"...Is that all you're going to do?" Curt arched a brow.

Christian moved off of him, a little sheepish now. "I mean, of course I'd also have to study and ask about the other bands as well. Let's just say if there's a little... competition, I'll make sure they don't overshadow us."

"Ahh, this is going to be so much fun!" Kristine clapped, "I can already see our name in lights!...

Recreyo... the new star! Now... what songs are we thinking?"
