Troubled Souls

Video Introduction (Chp 4)

"Can I get a hell yeah?" Damion yelled obnoxiously.
"Hell no!" Zeke optioned out.
"Yeah no way Damion." Benji agreed.
"Come on guys! Just hear him out." Tany begged.
"Scar? Matt? What about you guys?"
"I'm all for it." Matt said but was covered by Scar talking over him.
"The fuck? No! No way not gonna happen." She just wouldn't budge.
"Guys it's a YouTube channel not the end of our band." Matt countered.
"Really it's a way to get more known and to let the fans get to know you. Just think about it you can post covers and actual videos on it and interact with fans." He explained.
"Damian's got a point guys listen to our wise friend." Tany said laughing.
"Will and I already now how to do all this stuff any way and can teach you guys. We'll even film your first cover video and edit it as well as post it." He bargained.
Scar started to waver and Zeke showed promise, but Benji wasn't having it.
"What are we even gonna call it?" He asked.
"Yes!!! And HISA." Will yelled excitedly.
"HISA?"
"It's an acronym for Harmful if Swallowed Army." He explained.
"Our fans are not going to be called that." Benji said.
"Ok stupid name next one." Damion said and Will glared at him.
"Well we can at least call our fans the aliens."
"What the literal fuck Sarrice?"
"Well instead of outcasts or rejects, aliens. Same meaning, new name. Like they are the Alien Army."
"Well I- uh that's a good idea actually." Matt caved.
"But what about channel name?" Zeke inquiried.
"Ooooh Kings of the Aliens."
"That's sexist Will there are 2 females in this band as well." Tany glared at him.
"I know just shooting ideas here. Ok what about ugh I'm out of ideas." He complained.
"Royal Aliens? Like royal family I guess." Tany offered.
"Maybe Will right these down." Damion yelled.
"Got it."
"What about just HIS?" Scar said.
"Ok got it."
"What about Avenging Aliens?" Mama T said as she walked down with a bunch of snack stuff.
"Woah good one Ma!" Matt yelled.
"Vote?" Will said.
The usual way of determining the way things go in this group was voting not someone being in charge.
"All for Avenging Aliens say I."
Seven Is were heard around the room.
"Ok Will come here lets get started. Scar we are going to use your laptop for this ok? Great." She stared at DD then nodded slowly.
We began all the processes and interned all the information needed.
"Who's email?" Will asked.
"Um try hisbusinessofficial@gmail.com" Zeke offered up.
"What the fuck?! Where did that come from?" Scar asked.
"Well stupid I figured we would need an email for business enquiries so I made one when we began to get serious about the band." Zeke said. He had a look like he was hiding something.
"So Zeke when we decided to move to LA in a month?" Matt asked.
"Maybe."
"Whatever try it." DD demanded.
When it worked we all looked impressed with Zeke.
"So we need to make a video to post explaining the band and stuff about yourselves so Sarrice your camera please." Will said.
"Hell no you're not going to use my baby."
"We need a camera today that's it then from now on we will use one we get." He promised.
"Fine it's upstairs on my side of the room."
Will ran to get it.
"Wait we'll be right back!" Tany and Sarrice ran upstairs and came back in ten minutes after Will. They had changed and put on makeup.
"Wow girls thanks we look bad but you guys look great." Matt complained.
He walked to the desk in the corner of the band room and pulled out 3 shirts and threw them to the guys.
"These are some of your shirts and one of mine so change." They pulled off their shirts then put on the new ones.
Tany had a Kiss shirt on with her short purple and red hair straightend. Scar had on a Black Veil Brides muscle shirt with her hair pulled back and her glasses on. Matt had on a Fall Out Boy shirt and his hair ruffled but in a neat way, while Zekes mohawk was in pristine condition he also had on a plain grey shirt. While Benji had on a blue flannel with a blue/green All Time Low shirt.
"Alright you all look fine now for the video don't look in this screen and speak loudly. Also take turns talking about yourself and what you do in the band."
Thumbs went up and Damion pressed record.

"Ok guys you're good to go. Ok someone entroduce the group." A boy off camera said to the five on screen.
There was a boy with black hair, one with a Mohawk, and one with blue hair. There was also two girls. One with long silver hair and another with short purple and red hair.
"Hello human race we are Harmful if Swallowed." Silver haired girl said and waved.
Everyone else laughed and turned to look at her.
"Seriously?" Blue haired boy asked laughing.
"Yes I'm serious. Very. Serious."
That brought on more laughter.
"But the fans are gonna be called Aliens?" The one with the mohawk countered. The girl got a look on her face then;
"Yeah then they take the pill i.e. subscribing, and join our alien race. Cause it's harmful if swallowed."
"Ah ok I see what you did." A guy off camera joked.
"Whatever." The other girl with short hair said.
"Well anyways I am Destany Blake but everyone calls me Tany, and I play guitar." Ok Tany is the short haired girl.
"I'm Benjamin Rivers and I play drums. My nickname is Benji." That's the one with black hair.
"I'm Sarrice Fields and I play bass. But I'm called Scar." That's silver hair girl.
"I'm Matthew Terrance and I play guitar. People call me Matt." Blue hair boy.
"And I'm Zeke Cason and I sing for Harmful if Swallowed." Mohawk boy.
"Ok so you know who we are and we are going to say a few things each to you guys and our friends are asking us questions to answer so here goes." Zeke explained.
"I'll go first. Other than bass I can also play guitar and piano." Sarrice said.
"Me next. Besides the band I do skateboarding competitions with Sarrice." Matt said.
"My turn. I am absolutely awful at Call of duty." Benji announced sheepishly.
"Ok um I'll let you in on a secret. This isn't my natural hair color." Tany whispered. Causing everyone to laugh.
"Nah I'm just joking um I don't have any siblings." She said.
"Well my turn. Um I formed a band when I was 14. But it didn't work out." Zeke said.
"Ok each of you give 1 fact about the band/each other. Sarrice you first."
"Um I've Matt the longest and we have been friends since I was 12 when we met at school. We met over an English speaking assignment when we got paired together and decided to do the speech on skateboarding." Sarrice announced.
"I formed the band when me and Scar were what 15? And I texted Benji cause we've been friends for a few years and he said he'd come by and see if we would sound good together. But when he met Sarrice he pronounced her name wrong." He started laughing and so did Benji.
"He called her Say-rice, but her name is Sarrice. It's a weird pronunciation. Sar like in Sarah and rice but not rice it's a short I. So Sarrice."
"And that has been the history of Sarrice's name with Matt now on to you Benji." Tany announced in a spokesman voice.
"Um I invited Tany over to one of our band practices because I was trying to sound cool. Me Matt and Sarrice were all friends since we were 12. She was in my art class so she came and actually showed us up on guitar." Benji said
"Woah woah. I played for you guys I could never beat Matt's riffs." She countered.
"But you have better technique and consistent with good music." Matt said.
"You are more outrageous and come up with unthinkable sounds." Tany said.
"Yeah but you-"
"Ok enough with the compliments, Tany?"
"Um I at first didn't like Sarrice she is naturally a nice person if you get to know her. But she comes off as a rude bitch. That's just her. She's stubborn as a board. But she's my bestie and I love her." She high fived Sarrice as Matt. awed.
"Well I grew up knowing Scar because I lived down the road, but I became really good friends with Scar when we were 16. I was the one who found her in a car wreck outside my Dads house. She run off the road by a drunk driver. She ran into a fence causing a post to cave in the hood of her car. Which in turn cut over her face giving her the scar she has."
"I was technically the first one to call her scar though so points to me." Benji interrupted.
"Ok now two facts that the fans should know."
"Uh I'm 21, and I didn't finish high school." Zeke announced.
"I'm 20, Tany and I dated for 2 weeks when we were 14 then found out via parents we are cousins." Benji said.
"Um I am 18 and the youngest of the group and I am actually taller than Damion our manager he is behind camera. Who is how old are you?" Tany said and then asked.
"22."
"He's 22."
"Um I am 20 as well and I live with my mom who everyone calls Mama T and Sarrice actually lives with us as well."
"I'm 20 also and I live with Matt because I got kicked out when I was 15." Sarrice said.
"One thing you really like about the person on your right."
"Ok so I got Zeke." Benji said.
"No Ben your other right." Sarrice laughed out.
"There's no one there."
"So you have Tany then."
He made an Oh face then began.
"Tany's ability to play the guitar. I've always wanted to learn but I couldn't pick it up." Benji stated.
"So Matt. I've always been envious of how caring you are. No matter what you've always been there for us."
He grinned at her.
"Ok Sary. I've always admired your ability to be yourself no matter who is testing you or who's put you down. You are stronger than I will ever be and I love you kid." He grabbed her despite her squealing and kissed her head.
"Love you too big brother. Ok Zekey-poo. I've always liked your ability to be honest and keep things sane when everyone is confused and upset." Sarrice patted his head seeing as he was sitting down beside Benji.
"Benny boy I've always admired that no matter how much you try and practice, you still somehow are absolute shit at video games. Nah I'm kidding I've always loved how no matter what the situation you add a funny twist to it." Zeke said.
"Aw can't you feel the love?!" Tany said putting her arms around Benji's neck.
"Uh Tany.. Can't breathe."
"Haha I know." She smiled wickedly.
"So yeah that's some things you guys now know about us. If you want to know more about us then ask us questions below and we'll try to answer them next week I promise." Tany said.
"Also we are going to be uploading our music videos and covers as well as daily vlogs and actual videos to this channel so please subscribe you won't regret it." Matt said.
"Yeah subscribe!! Also we have dubbed you guys our fans the Avenging Aliens, our channel name. So your stuck with it." Scar said laughing.
"Yeah that's about it. So Sarrice how are we going to sign off?"
"Alright um love you guys hope you enjoyed this video yall probably know better than us what to do. Thanks for watching and we'll see you next time! Kisses Assholes!" Sarrice yelled.
"Kisses Assholes?" Matt inquiried.
"Yeah. Ok yell bye after you kiss your hand." Sarrice said.
