Detention, Depths of the Castle, Tuesday

Jul 24, 2012 00:48

Another bright, shining, and pink day had begun for the prisoners guests being held in detention, and while the morning started off the same as the day before, there was a strange sort of feeling in the air once people began waking up. A kind of... musical feeling, in fact ( Read more... )

April eyed Jono. Noticed the face he was making.

She paused in her drumming -- plastic cutlery on the table wasn't exactly great music, but the acoustics in here weren't bad and it was better than actually having to sing her feelings, so she wasn't complaining -- and slid her "drumsticks" over to him, one eyebrow raised.

Jono's gaze followed the impromptu drumsticks, and then flicked up toward April, an eyebrow of his own twitching upward on his face.

And then he nodded a little in thanks and made a reach for the cutlery.

He had been a guitarist, once upon a time. But he was no slouch when it came to keeping a beat, and he spared no time tapping out a rhythm on the tabletop.

//Don't suppose you've got any requests?//

For the quality percussion that he'd be providing, here.

April gave a wry grin at that. "Surprise me."

And so she leaned across the table to watch.

Jono considered that one for a moment, and then shrugged, and then started tapping the cutlery on the table, one-two, before stomping once on the floor.

Because if the only drum set you could really throw together consisted of the place where people ate their gruel, you were going to throw some We Will Rock You out there for the world to hear.

//Not many options without a proper kit,// he mused, with a tap-tap-stomp.

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/24] hatesallthis July 24 2012, 19:09:49 UTC

"Been wondering if it'd be worth going dark side to get my drums back," April commented mildly, nodding along to the beat. She even joined in with a foot-stomp at the appropriate point, figuring she might as well cooperate if she wanted to be entertained. "Was a pretty expensive set."

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/24] bloodyspitfire July 24 2012, 19:17:31 UTC

//Not worth it,// Jonothon decided, with another tap-tap-stomp as he thought the lyrics through in the back of his mind. //I figure if she hasn't already, it's only a matter of time before Umbridge bans music, too. You'd be right back down here in an instant, so long as she didn't just go ahead and make a clean slate out of your brain with that wand of hers.//

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/24] hatesallthis July 24 2012, 19:30:45 UTC

April shrugged. "She tried, before," she offered conversationally, tap-tap-stomping right along with him. "Seems like I'm immune."

Still, an endless loop of detentioning processing-and-discharge didn't sound all that fun.

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/24] bloodyspitfire July 24 2012, 19:43:50 UTC

//Lucky you,// Jono replied, looking at least somewhat sympathetic. //You'd think banishment would be an option for we unruly types. I suppose she'd want some sort of insurance that we're not going to gather up the cavalry and come storming th'gates.//

It would be tempting, too, if only he knew anyone that could play cavalry in the first place.

"Oh, yeah, my drums and I would be the first ones to come charge the place," April said, with heavy sarcasm. Then she snorted. "Yeah, right. More like I'd go back to Pawnee and not complain about the Midwest for, like, ever."

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/24] bloodyspitfire July 24 2012, 20:11:22 UTC

//Straight back to London with me,// Jonothon decided. //See if any of the bands I used to play with have any need for a guitarist who happens to be three years out of practise.//

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/24] hatesallthis July 24 2012, 20:18:53 UTC

"Might not be the hottest selling point," April commented. "But London's cool. A kid I was talking to yesterday mentioned he's from Oklahoma. If I were him, I might as well just stay here."

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/24] bloodyspitfire July 24 2012, 20:22:38 UTC

//I've never been,// Jonothon mused. //So far as th'States go, I've only ever been to Massachusetts. And briefly. I hear it's a lovely state, but really... I can do without.//

Tap-tap-stomp. Tap-tap-stomp. Jonothon needed to come up with a different song.

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/24] hatesallthis July 24 2012, 20:30:14 UTC

"Well, Indiana's crap, I can tell you that much," April offered. "About as boring as this place but with worse weather. My guess is Oklahoma's about the same, but with tornadoes."

Or was that Kansas?

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/24] bloodyspitfire July 24 2012, 20:34:08 UTC

//Just what I never wanted. Tornadoes.// Tap-tap-fuck-it. Jono put the cutlery back onto the table and then slid them back April's way. //Someday, I'll find a place to go that isn't actively trying to kill me.//

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/24] hatesallthis July 24 2012, 20:37:42 UTC

April shrugged. "Grand Canyon's supposed to be nice."

Re: Chat With Your Fellow Prisoners [07/24] bloodyspitfire July 25 2012, 02:34:46 UTC

//If you like giant holes in th'ground, I suppose,// Jonothon mused. //There are worse things to call natural wonders of th'world. Probably.//

Give him a minute, he'd probably come up with something.
