<font color='#000000'>{ 7 } Mia 81378 The sign was plastered to the school's academic bulletin board rather crudely, held up by a rather large pin in the shape of a music note. It was written in a hasty scrawl that an elegant aura still seemed to linger on, quite contrary to the average teenager's handwriting. "Concert band tryouts, no auditions required! See Lady Sephiroth on the seventh of Mia at 4:30 in the music room. Only music students need apply." From her newly adopted room, the hired worker calmly sat at her desk clad in a neat white blouse and black dress pants. Seth had taken the more bipedal approach today - it was much easier to address a group this way, not to mention play some of the more difficult instruments. Fondling a clarinet mouthpiece almost nervously, Sephiroth nibbled her lip. Would anyone show up? Anyone serious, anyway? She placed the molded plastic on her desk and toured the room again, straightening the random piles of music and matching the instrument cases with their correct shelves. (Not to mention rewriting the tidy script on the board which stated her name a good six times). It wasn't likely that much playing would be done today, but just in case.</font>
<font color='#000080'>Katrina padded past, a sign catching her eye. "Hold on," she said pulling up. "Band concert?" She read on with interest, eyes wide and taking in every word up until the very last sentence, "'Only music students need apply'?!" Kat sighed heavily, shifting her satchelover the other shoulder. 'Oh well, I guess I can always go home and play. I'll just stop by the registrar and see if there's anyone new first.' Katrina gave one last longing look at the sign that tantalized her so, and began to walk towards the main office.</font>
<font color='#000080'><font color="pink">Shinra walked along the halls quite boredly. Nothing to do around here... She sighed. She soon met the bulliten board and scanned it for anything interesting. A Band Concert? Her face lit up at the sight. I'm more used to singing and creating lyrics, but whats lyrics and song without the music? She had no idea she was speaking aloud, but as soon as she realized this, she stopped. Mia, seventh. Perfect! She took out her day planner and flipped to the 7th and scribbled the date down. On the 7th Shinra was packing her book bag with the neccessary equipment for the band. Gotta be ready... Gotta be ready... She looked at the clock, nine in the morning. Shinra groaned. Come on clock! Go faster!</font> <font color="brown">One of the four beds surrounding her stirred, then a brown pendragon rose up from the bed. First sign of insanity, talking to your clock The pendragon laughed.</font> <font color="pink">Shinra jumped back, quite surprised to see that one of her roommates were awake. Can it Red! She growled, then left the dorm with her things. If there was a longer day, Shinra wouldn't have remembered it. She was looking up at the clock every five minutes. She spent her time going through the songs she had written, well, the single one that she was still working on. It seemed like an eternity when it was finally 4:25. She got up, and walked to the music room, still scratching her paper with the pen, making changes in the lyrics. She finally reached the music room. She shoved her papers in her book bag and entered the room. Hello? This is where the concert band is right? She looked to Sephiroth.</font>
<font color='#000080'>Kat watched an eager 'dragon walk past her into the band room and figured that she could at least try to convince the teacher to let her try out. She wasn't in a music class and she didn't have a REAL instrument, but she could play like nobody's business. 'Why not?' she wondered. And why not indeed. Surely the teacher would have the instrument she needed as her kitara was back in her dorm room. Katrina walked cautiously into the room and sidled closer to the teacher along the wall.</font>
Sephiroth raised her eyebrows as a student seemed to linger by the bulletin board, seemingly unsure of something. Surely it wasn't because of their artistic talent, she welcomed all pendragons interested in the musical arts. The female rose from her desk and peered out of the room; not only the lingering one was present, another had decided to show up for the meeting. Seth smiled and nodded her head as a question was posed her way, indicating that the meeting was still on. Tilting her head towards the pondering female, she herself made a comment. "Is something wrong..?"
Katrina looked up, almost startled. "No Ma'am... nothing's wrong. I was just wondering about the band." She looked at the floor and then back up, "I don't take a music class here at the school though and I'm not sure what types of instruments you're looking for." Kat smiled politely and swallowed a lump in her throat. She did not like talking to teachers she did not know. Katrina would bound right up to a student, but teachers could stick her in detention for it.
<span style='color:pink'>Shinra grinned, being quite pleased with herself for finding the correct classroom. She sat down at a desk and took out the pages of Lyrics she had written up lately and started singing quietly to herself, occassionally taking out her eraser and pencil to correct a bad line. Daddy's gone to war and Mommy was taken from me. Don't you see I'm suffering Oh why can you not see What in the world is going on? I'm feeling like I have done it all wrong. I kneel to the sky I pray for the end Oh please can someone tell me why, oh why does it got to be this way I go to bed at night, I hope everything's ok I'm crying myself to sleep, and dream of a good day. What in the world is going on? I'm feeling like I have done it all wrong. I kneel to the sky I pray for the end Oh please can someone tell me why, oh why does it got to be this way. </span>
As torlenemul entered the class, he could see the akward situation in yet another classroom. Maybe its just my presence that makes people seem bashful.....or this school is crazier than I expected! With his Guitar on his back, he stood half in the door-way just waiting to see what would surmise from this spectacle.....
