{{the feed turns on to show Kuri sitting down in front of her computer, feet propped up on her desk. She's wearing a leather jacket, skinny jeans, and black Converse - in the middle of summer, that's right. After some grumbling under her breath, she speaks up}}

This on or what? Right, so, French boarding school place, I'm Kuri Masachika. 'M gonna be

I'm not. Definitely not. I'm Maya Gale, nice to meet you!

[Okay her dad is pretty rich, but she has never actually met him, so...]

[blackandbluemix]

Huh. Yeah, nice to meet you and all that crap.

If you're not rich, how'd you end up here?

[thyellodis]

Well, my dad is rich but I've never met him. He decided I needed a 'better' education than the one I got at home.

Still, I'm pretty sure I don't count as rich! How did you end up here?

[blackandbluemix]

Brothers stuck me here cause they want me to be safe. I sure as hell don't count as rich. I'm in a rich family... but I wasn't there for a year and a half. Never got the rich kid mentality either, even as a kid. Too brash for that crap.

[The feed cuts in to Shin's dorm. He is a smirking punk rock urchin. Over his lap is slung a black and white Fender bass.] Yo. I'm Shin. I played while I was in Tokyo. I need to keep up my skills while i'm here.

[blackandbluemix]

Oh, you are fucking kidding me. Yes! {{she sits up straight in her chair, letting her feet fall to the floor.}} We are doing this, kid.

What the hell is a person like you doing here?

[a_hired_pistol]

The label won't sign me until i've had at least a year of high school. The rest of the band decided to ship me over here 'cause...I think they wanted me to focus?

[blackandbluemix]

{{scoffs}} The hell do you need focus for? You're in a freakin' rock band.

My darling's on her way here. Didn't trust a plane to bring her over safely, so she's coming by boat. Hope you're prepared for some British masterpieces. We're definitely playing some Beatles.

Awww, yes! {{leans back in her chair, very pleased}} Was not expecting... this.

[nadegiri_flame]

What kind of music do you play?

[blackandbluemix]

Anything. Just gotta know if there's anywhere decent to play.

[nadegiri_flame]

The music rooms are good enough. The acoustics are better in the indoor pool.

[blackandbluemix]

{{dryly}} The acoustics are better in the indoor pool. Awesome - I can fulfill my life's dream of singing 'Yellow Submarine' in a submarine.

[thelameboy]

I believe you'll find that quite a lot of us are here on scholarships. At least such is my impression from my fellow athletes.

[blackandbluemix]

{{snort}} Yeah, well, a bunch of jocks isn't much better than the prissy snots I was expecting.

[thelameboy]

[ He just raises an eyebrow at her. Keep calm and carry on British mentality at its finest. ] Pray remember that we had to get accepted based on our academics as well. We're hardly the big, dumb jock cliche. And there are certainly some here on academic merit alone; I wouldn't know about the arts.

[blackandbluemix]

{{and her eyebrows go way up at that}} Pray remember? Pray remember? How old are you, seventy? You sound so... BBC. God. {{she's a British girl too! Just... not a model one.}}

[popcultural]

There's a Glee club. You can sign up as a performing member or as one of the band members. But there's also a Music Appreciation club. I'm not so sure what they do there, though.

[blackandbluemix]

{{dryly}} A Glee club? What, like the TV show? You run around ruining Beatles songs for fun? No thanks. I'll look into this Music Appreciation shit. Maybe.

[popcultural]

-Excuse me! Glee club is part of the performing arts! We perform songs and do justice to them, mind you! Whatever this TV show is, the club is nothing like it!

OH PSH. way to break the fourth wall, self. /facepalm sorry!

[blackandbluemix]

Huh. Sounds like grade school choir to me. What sorta music d'you do?
