Spirit Animal Ficlets

Band: part 2

((Song is Don't threaten me with a good time.))

It was a school pep rally. Conor enjoyed it for the factor consisting of what the cheer squad would danced too. He froze when the music started.

"Alright, alright
Alright, alright
Alright, alright, it's quite a feeling though
It's quite a feeling though
Alright, alright, it's quite a feeling though
It's quite a feeling though."

This was one of his band's songs. It was called 'Quite a feeling.' They had released it last month and people were still listening to it.

"Who are these people?
I just woke up in my underwear
No water left on the shelf
I should probably introduce myself
You shoulda' seen what I wore
I had a cane and a party hat
I was the king of this hologram
Where there's no such thing as getting out of hand
Memories tend to just pop up
Drunk pre-meds and some rubber gloves
Five-thousand people with designer tongues
Don't think I'll ever get enough
(don't think I'll ever get enough)."

There was video playing on the wall. His cobalt contacts taunted him as the video zoomed out to show the white wolf mask. It switched to where he lead the veiwer to his friends. He was smiling wolfishly at the camera. The video screen flickered.

"Champagne, mocha, gasoline
And most things in between
I roam the city in a shopping cart
A pack of carmels and a smoke alarm
This night is heating up
Raise havoc and turn it up
Saying "If you go out you might pass out in a drain pipe"
Oh yeah, don't threaten me with a good time."

The video switched to the present to where the viewer was watching as three figures were entering the room. Three girls stood over the viewer. Each wore a white animal mask, a leopard, a panda, and a falcon.

"It's quite a feeling though
It's quite a feeling though
Alright, alright
It's quite a feeling though
It's quite a feeling though."

The video clicked back to the night as Essix was laughing to something the viewer said. She smiled as the viewer motioned that they were going to the bathroom.

"What are these footprints?
They don't look very human like
Now I wish that I could find my clothes
Bedsheets and a morning rose
I wanna wake up
Can't even tell if this is a dream
How did we end up in my neighbors pool
Upside down with a perfect view?
Bar to bar at the speed of sound
Fancy feet dancing through this town
Lost my mind in a wedding gown
Don't think I'll ever get it now
(Don't think I'll ever get it now)."

The falcon person was forcing the viewer to stand as the other two lead them to another room. A metal table was spotless in the hospital room.

"Champagne, mocha, gasoline
And most things in between
I roam the city in a shopping cart
A pack of carmels and a smoke alarm
This night is heating up
Raise havoc and turn it up
Saying "If you go out you might pass out in a drain pipe"

The viewer had walked back to where Jhi was sitting in place of Essix. She mouthed something to revealthat Essix had gone to the restroom. The viewer sipped their drink and it seemed like everything sped up. It ended with the viewer back in their present situation.

"Oh yeah, don't threaten me with a good time
I'm a scholar and a gentleman
And I usually don't fall when I try to stand
I lost a bet to a guy in a Chiffon skirt
But I make these high heels work
I've told you time and time again
I'm not as think as you drunk I am
And we all fell down when the sun came up
I think we've had enough."

The leopard girl and panda girl ere forcing the viewer onto the table. Strapping their arms and legs down. The viewer looked around frantically then saw the figure wheeling in a cart. Briggan in his wolf mask.

"Alright, alright, it's quite a feeling though
It's quite a feeling though
Alright, alright, it's quite a feeling though
It's quite a feeling though."

He pushed his mask up. Briggan tauntingly smiled at the viewer. He looked away, picking at the tools on his cart. He pointed to Uraza, mouthing out something then back to the viewer. He picked up a scalpel and the scene faded to black.

"Champagne, mocha, gasoline
And most things in between
I roam the city in a shopping cart
A pack of carmels and a smoke alarm
This night is heating up
Raise havoc and turn it up
Saying "If you go out you might pass out in a drain pipe"

Oh yeah, don't threaten me with a good time."

The scene came back light. The video slowly zoomed out of a gender ambiguous viewer with a rabbit mask stir had to their face and rabbit ears attached to their head, more people with animal traits could be spotted in cages as well. The video ended with the four fallen going to another party for their next victim.

----------------------------------------------

The video lingered in Conor's mind even after school. Dawson was spending the night and was gushing over it. His favorite member was Essix simply because of her make up. Conor smiled, he could swnd Dawson into shock if he revealed that Rollan wad the feminine bird drummer. That was something for another day.
