Human After All. (Motionless In White Fan-Fic)

July 5th, 2013/ Chapter 2

I sat waiting on the pull out step on my RV, going over the instructions yet again. I don’t know why I bothered because I was nervous as hell, and I kept going over the words, but I didn’t actually see them. I got up and opened my door, throwing the damn thing on my couch. Closing the door again, I sat back in my original spot, and thought about when my supervisor was going to get here. It was 7 AM, and my sleeping pattern was completely fucked ergo making my nerves on edge.

Apparently, since I planned out with my supervisor that I could bring my own RV rental, we agreed I could take one other person who was working for Warped Tour that didn’t have a way to get too each venue. Not that I minded having company, just as long as they had personal hygiene, that was what I was most worried about.

And maybe that I had to keep myself fully dressed. I didn’t want too have to explain the scars on my back. As if to remind me, I felt them ache with the chill in the morning air. I stood up and zipped up my Warper sweater.

“Alistair?” I heard my supervisor, Michelle, somewhere beside me. I turned towards the voice. “Hey, Michelle.” She had long hair that was teased out at the top, making it stand out more. Although I don’t why she did that, when her hair was neon pink and yellow. Piercings littered her face, and her make up matched her bright colored hair perfectly.

I liked it. She was her own person, which seemed to be a rarity these days. Beside her I saw a young man, maybe around my age carrying two duffel bags. His hair was short, blonde and slicked back. I really hoped that was gel.

“Alistair this is Jake Anderson. He was the one we were talking about a couple days ago. You are still okay with him rooming with you, right?”

“Yes, thats fine.” I turned towards Jake. “Nice too meet you, Jake.” I held out my hand, and he took it, grinning. “Pleasure, mate.” He had a thick Australian accent that laced his words. I felt my eyebrows rise. “Australian?” I asked, curious.

He nodded. “Yep, just moved here too America a couple months ago, trying to find a job and I lucked out when they accepted me for Warped Tour.”

“Cool. Well lets get you settled in then, and then we get to work?” I asked turning too Michelle. She nodded. “We’re having a meeting near the main stage, assigning tasks to everyone for the week. Then we change it up again for the next week, because there is going too some changes throughout the days, new employees will come, and some people that are already here might leave. Its chaotic, but it's workable.” She laughed lightly.

“I look forward to it.” I grinned. I looked too Jake, who was grinning also. “Here man, let me help you with your bags.” I grabbed one of the ground, and he picked up the other. “Thanks.”

“I’ll see you boys in ten minutes.” Michelle laughed and walked away. “Yes, Ma’am.” Jake saluted.

“Alright, you all have your assigned tasks, lets get started for the first day of Warped Tour, everyone!” Our manager Mr. Sears was giving us some sort of pep talk. I didn’t need it, I was already excited as hell. I got to work with electronics and instruments, I got to help set up one of the stages, and made sure everything was in working order.

I was put with a group of three other people. Clarissa, Brodie and Mitch.

The huge group of people dispersed and went about too their tasks, while my group went too the first stage to set up for one of the first bands to play today.

We went about our task thoroughly, and had some idle chit chat. I guess one of the first few bands playing this morning was Black Veil Brides.

“I’m so excited to be working here again!” Clarissa squealed. I was in the middle of carrying one of the big speakers up onto the stage.
