Mindless Self Indulgence (Fuck Off)

Glued

Brody has her hair styled in a six inch Mohawk, and Sam didn't do anything. He's too busy watching TV with Steve.

"I can shave the sides if you want," Lyn-Z offers.

"And where am I going to find six tons of hair gel?"

"You used up all of my hair gel!" I run to the bathroom.

The bottle was half empty.

"Now I'm going to start wilting," I stare at the measly amount of hair gel.

"Sorry."

"Whatever," I rush to the bathroom and change before she can put more hair gel on.

"It's time to go!" Brody yells excitedly pointing at her phone.

"Hey, you can't have that," Lyn-Z points at the phone.

"Why not?"

"That's basically a tracking device. They'll find us."

"Well then where do I put it?"

"Give me it," Lyn-Z holds out her hand and Brody reluctantly hands her the phone.

Lyn-Z sets it on the ground and crushes it with her heel.

"OH MY GOD!!! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!" Brody shouts.

"We can't afford to have the police on our tail," Lyn-Z tells her, "Come on, let's go."

Steve and Jack come out of the room. "We are ready," Steve says.

"So where is this place?" Brody asks after a few minutes of walking.

"Way over there," Steve points at the distance.

"But it's so far away," Brody whines.

"After the concert," Lyn-Z says, "you're going to fight club."

"Fight club? That's real?"

"It sure as Hell is!" I answer, "Where do you think I got this black eye from?"

"I thought you might've punched yourself during a concert?" she says uncertain, "You seem like the kind of person who'd do that."

"Huh, that's not a bad idea. People like pain."

"I'm joking."

"No, it's not a bad idea."

"We're almost here," Sam tells Brody.

"Oh really?"

"It's that place over there," I point at the rundown building.

"They got a fog machine!" Steve shouts running towards the building.

Everyone starts setting up but I get to tell Sam and Brody what to do.

"Okay, so basically you just get to jump around like a maniac," I tell them.

"Jimmy there's people here with almost no clothes on," Brody says eying the crowd.

"If you want to fuck those people go right ahead," I tell her, "but there are mosh pits here so..."

"Mosh pits!" Sam's eyes light up.

"Yup."

He runs into the crowd yelling the whole time.

"Go follow Jack," I tell Brody disappearing into the crowd as well.

I go to the back of the stage where everyone else is.

"When are we up?" I ask.

"After this one band," Steve points at the stage where there's a band already playing.

"So we're on like right now then!"

"Almost."

Jack comes onto the stage. "So who saw what MSI's done the past few days?"

A few people in the crowd cheers.

"They hacked into the city to air their video on TV there. And don't forget that they spray painted a whole wall too. The police is after them."

Everyone starts hollering.

"They're really making a name for themselves none of the other bands are this infamous."

I come up to the stage and take the mic from Jack. "Thank you lovely."

Everyone cheers for me. I give them a dramatic bow in return.

"How many of you saw that video?" I yell.

Only a few people holler.

"You should've seen it. It was amazing. The government had a warning afterwards and everything. Which is great except they think we're a gang!"

Everyone else comes onto the stage. "Well goodbye."

Lyn-Z starts off with her bass then the drums and the guitar. Everyone in the crowd starts dancing. I turn around to see Lyn-Z pretending to be a tornado spinning around and around.

I hold up my hand and make it a fist. I stare at it like I don't know what's happening then I punch myself lightly in the face. Enough to look sort of real but not enough to ruin my singing.

I get cheers.

People do like pain.

I get up on Kitty's drums and sing there for a while until the song's almost over. Then just before the last note I jump off...

I'm flying.

But then I slam onto the stage making a satisfying thud.
