tune

Quinn walked nonchalantly through the rec center halls, scrolling through his phone. He had his guitar strapped to his back and was on his way to practice. As he looked up to make sure not to run into walls every now and then. If he didn't run into anyone that's an extra bonus, he just didn't want to be the idiot running into a table.
He stopped in front of the band room door and opened his text messages. He typed

Quinn C 🎸📷🇦🇺 in Disaster Bis
Just got here

He walked in and saw Emily
"Hey Em." He said causally while putting his phone in his pocket. His slight Australian accent was showing again. He slipped his guitar of his back and sat down, setting his case on the floor and pulling out the instrument and a tuner. He began plucking strings and tuning his instrument, as usual before practice

Tidying up her books and school supplies, Anna's eyes darted to her phone buzzing on the table. She picked it up to see messages from her bandmates, Quinn and Emily, who had arrived at practice.

Anna M 🎤✨ in Disaster Bis 🎶
I'll be over in a moment. I just finished class.

Her fingers glided over her phone screen as she sent another message to someone.

Anna M to Apollo G
I've just finished class. Did you want to walk to band together?

Apollo was Anna's closest friend. They had met in high school and Apollo really helped Anna come out of her shell and pursue her passions, which of course was singing. He was the person who introduced the band to her and convinced her to join. Dare she say, it was the best decision she had ever made.

Apollo slumped back in the uncomfortable lecture hall seat as his professor droned on about linear systems. The clock on the wall said 12:47pm - well past the time the class was meant to finish.

His phone buzzed.

Annie to AP
I’ve just finished class. Did you want to walk to band together?

Apollo glanced around, then typed out a response.

AP to Annie
hell yeah 😎 where do u wanna meet?
i might be a minute. this guy won’t stop talking

He closed his chat with Anna and noticed some messages in the group chat and replied.

Apollo G 🥁📸🌅 to Disaster Bis 🎶

Anna made her way down the busy stairwell, careful not to trip while typing.

Annie -to- God??
Meet me in the quad

After navigating the crowds, Anna made her way outside, to the large garden that the school surrounded. She sighed and took a seat under the large oak tree, a place Apollo and her claimed as their own. She rubbed her shoulders that had started aching from her backpack and leaned up against the tree. Studying law wasn't too bad but the amount of textbooks and worksheets she had was insane. If it wasn't because of her bad posture, she was sure that she was going to damage her back because of these books.

Anna's eyes darted around the quad, observing the people around her but also keeping an eye out for her friend. Surely he wouldn't be too long.

By the time his professor finally let them go, Apollo was about ready to slam his head into his desk. He scooped up his bag (which he’d already packed his stuff into, out of boredom) and left as quickly as possible, pulling out his phone as he went. He sent Anna a cool emoji, almost crashing into someone in the effort. Pocketing his phone, he made his way to the quad.

Anna sat in their usual spot, and he gave her a smile as he wandered over.

"Hi." Anna stood up and slowly dragged her bag behind her as she greeted Apollo. At this point she was sick of its contents and didn't want to carry it around anymore. But reluctantly, she threw it over her shoulders and gave Apollo a small hug.

"How was physics? I'm assuming your professor forgot the time again?" Anna asked as the two of them made their way over to the YMCA building, where their band rehearsals took place.

Apollo sighed, “As always,” he said, fiddling with his own backpack, “He has a watch, I can see it on his wrist, but I don’t think he knows how to read it.”

He noticed Anna struggling with her backpack and reached a hand over to pull it up by the top, but almost immediately let go again.

“Holy hell, what do you have in there?”

Anna huffed, adjusting the weight on her back. "They're textbooks for this semester. We're looking at criminology but they also want us looking at torts which is a completely different textbook."

The two continued walking, nearing their destination. "Maybe you should set an alarm to go off whenever your class finishes and then just leave. Others might join you."

“Sounds… heavy,” Apollo said. The two reached the rec centre and entered the hall. “I would, but he has a habit of talking about the important stuff after class has finished. So I’m stuck.”

After a small walk, they reached their rehearsal room and wandered in.

“Hey, guys,” Apollo greeted.

Emily got Quinn’s text right before he walked through the door.

“QC!” she greeted with a grin. “How are you?”

She looked down and noted the texts from her other bandmates. She typed out a quick reply of her own before slipping her treasured violin out of its case and sliding her bow across the strings.

No problem loves. Take your time

She jumped as she noticed her other band mates enter the room. “Hey! I just texted you!” she laughed.

"I'm good! How are you?" He said, stopping his tuning and checking his phone as it buzzed. He read the messages right as Anna and Apollo walked in
"Hey!" He returned as he picked up his guitar and finished tuning

Apollo gave them a smile and asked, “Is it just the two of you right now?”

He wandered over to the drum kit. Setting his bag to the side, he pulled out his drumsticks

(Yeah, that’s totally fine! Also I haven’t seen our other two bandmates in a while, so I’m going to say we can go without a bassist, and Emily can also do piano, if that’s alright with y’all)

"Good," Emily replied to Quinn before gesturing around for Apollo and arching her eyebrows with an amused smirk. “I don’t see anyone else,” she teased lightly. “How was class?”

(hmm if they don’t come back we could see if Cuji’s character could play bass? also, is the band maybe rehearsing for a gig?)

Apollo chuckled, shaking his head, “Fair point,” he said. “It was interesting, but my attention span decreased with every minute overtime. My professor does not know what ‘class finishes at 12:30’ means.”

(That would work if Cuji is on board! And yeah :))

Emily set down her violin gently in its case before approaching the keyboard beside Apollo's drumset and setting her lithe fingers over the keys. "That's understandable," she remarked, playing a few basic chords quietly. "And what time did the professor finally release you?"

(I originally had Anna only know piano, but I can say she knows the basics of bass.)

Anna gave a small greeting as she entered the room with Apollo. They were a few minutes late so she quickly started to set up the speaker and microphone that were permanently kept in the room for other functions.
She noticed that two of her band mates were missing and decided to speak up about it. They had a gig coming up and it was important not to miss any rehearsals.

"Is Maki or Caleb coming today?" Anna spoke into the mic, bringing the volume up slightly as to test it.

(Oh, that totally works too! I forgot you had Anna know piano. We can have Anna and Emily alternate for songs Emily has to play the violin, Anna can play piano. And Emily can play piano sometimes so Anna can just sing, if that makes sense and works for you :))

Emily frowned at Anna's question. "I'm not sure. I haven't heard from them, and it's been dead air in the group chat. Let me try them again."

Maki and Caleb ETA??
