Yule Ball

[Professor Remus Lupin]

Remus looked over at the entrance as he was pouring Tonk's juice and saw Jon Wandwip. Looking over at Kevin, he could see that he had seen him, too. Inwardly grimacing, he walked up to the Ambassador.

"Hello. I'm Remus Lupin, pleased to meet you. Tonks has told me loads about you," said Remus, smiling.

[Amora Preston]

Amora glanced up at the band, preparing to quit.. she cheered for them, they were quite a good band. "I wonder when I'm supposed to go up." she thought aloud, she had a couple of songs she was to sing and play. She looked around, wondering if the Headmistress would know. She shrugged.

meant2live said:

((er, dude, Damon, the stage is not currently empty. if you actually READ our posts, you'd be able to tell. The Razorblade Kiss is up, and we have one song to go))

Dove smiled at Kevin as he got up and stood next to her. He hugged her, and motioned Drake and Spyke over. When they came, Dove turned to them. "Okay, the last song is The Razorblade Kiss. Our title song and finale. We start in twenty seconds counting."

Dove back-counted from twenty as the other players went back to their instruments. As she heard the intro start, she smiled beneath hooded eyes.

I taste death in every kiss we shareEvery sundown seems to be the last we haveYour breath on my skin has the scent of our end
I'm drunk on your tears, Baby, can't you see it's hurting

Mmhhh mmmhhhh

Every time we touch we get closer to heaven
And at every sunrise our sins are forgiven
Uh.uh
You on my skin this must be the end
The only way you can love me ist to hurt me again
And again
And again
And again

Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips

Oh the taste from your lips, my Darling
Taste from your lips, oh my Love

Only inside I'm free
I'm tired of waiting
You've got to let me dream
Inside Baby
I'm not afraid to feel
I want your to love me
Cause you are the one
Cause you are the one
Cause you are the one

Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips

Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips
Your love is a razorblade kiss
Sweetest is the taste from your lips

Dove finished the song and beckoned her companions forward with a signal behind her back. They stepped forward, and bowed to the crowd. "Thank y'all very much, and we are-" The whole band finished the last line together.

"The Razorblade Kiss!"

(I did read most of the posts in the thread, then I apologized for interupting your set. I erased my post, trying to rectify my mistake. )

Damon was hanging out in the back of the ball room clearly out of sight of anyone in attendance. He arrived as Razerblade Kiss finished their last song. He clapped softly trying not to bring any unwanted attention to himself. They were quite good Damon thought crouching to check the mechanical controls he installed earlier for his effects. He asked a first year he hired to approach Amora and send over to him.

[Claire DeLour]

*Claire blinked and focused again on what was happening around her.*

[glow=pink,2,300]O, ummm, ya, I'm fine, thank you.[/glow]

*She smiled at Tom, trying to sound convincing, which she was quite good at doing.*

[Amora Preston]

Amora let go of Magyn's waist and looked over at Damon, questioningly. She picked up her equiptment, so it would not get in anyones way and carried it with her to her destination.

She walked through the crowd over to him, the tail of her dress swishing just slightly behind her and smiled. "Hello, Damon. You needed me?" she said, confused but smiling. She tucked that bloody annoying strand of hair behind her ear once more.

[damondarkweather]

Damon smiled, nodded and his sapphire eyes were wide with enthusiasm. [shadow=red,left,300]"If you're willing, I could use an experienced hand to work these electronics." [/shadow]Damon picked up the tiny square metallic box with controls on it's face. [shadow=red,left,300]"These levers control the pyrotechnic display. And this one..."[/shadow] He put his index finger on the trigger button, [shadow=red,left,300]"Releases the lever for the platform I'll be standing on."
[/shadow]

[Rachel Duly]

*Rachel and the rest of Newthaetch ran backstage after Razorblade Kiss was done. Milo's drums were already back there, and so were Korey's keyboards, but they were carrying guitars and bass's. Adrenaline was pumping through them. They were really excited for the show. They reached backstage.*
"Hey, can we set up now?" said Rachel to nobody in particular.

[Amora Preston]

Amora nodded.. "Of course I will help, nifty little setup." she said, looking around at his equiptment. She studied them and watched as he explained them to her.

"What would you like me to do?" she asked, taking another short glance around. She pushed her equiptment against the stage, she had two of her guitars with her and her amp now, remembering she'd need an acoustic. She awaited Damons answer

[Rachel Duly]

OOC-We should probably keep this going because the thread is only going to be going for a short while longer, so I'll perform now.

BIC-Newthaetch began to set up the stage for the concert.

OOC-I'll post longer in a little while. I gotta go, though.

[Blade Tival Maester]

Jogging all the way to the dance hall Blade stopped a few feet away, hearing the claps of everyone in the room he knew he must of missed something really good. Calming himself down, he casually walked into the hall and began to look for his date... It was kinda hard though, Between the breath taking decorations and all the people he didn't know were to start. Walking around the throngs of people he finally noticed who he was looking for.

Casually walking over to her, he stopped just about a foot away from here. "Hey Monoki... Sorry for being late... Forgive me?" he whispered in her ear. Running his hand through his freshly cut hair he could feel the spikes of his hair prickle his hand and fingers.

[Magyn Bellus Wandwip]

Magyn looked over to where lizabeth was referring to and saw her father dressed in his best robes, she waved to get his attentiuon, but she wasn't sure if it was working, it was hard to hear over the music so there was no use in yelling. She just glanced at him occasionaly to see if he was gettin nearer and she and amora enjoyed the music, waiting to see when amora was supposed to go on.

[Spyke O'Connery]

Spyke nodded and went back to her place and played on with them. she rolle dher eyes to amber who was going nuts bumping into ppl. she saw damon having a great time. she looked down at her bass and played on. the song gave her chills down her back, which ment she liked it, yet she tried to ignore the sweet chills.

[Rachel Duly]

OOC-If you guys aren't done yet, I'm very sorry!

*Rachel and Newthaetch all took out their insturments and set up. Milo's drums were put in the back center stage on a raised platform that moved him up about one and a half feet. His drums were sparkly blue. Next to him on stage left was Q-Tip on bass. He played a five-string bass that was a creamy yellow color, just like the picture. In the front on stage right was Josh. His guitar was just like this. On stage left was Rachel. Her guitar was the blue one like in her picture. On center stage was Korey. She had her keyboards set up, and her red guitar on its stand. (Her setup is like the picture.) After soundcheck, they all got together and went over their set list. Then, they all went up to their insturments.*

Rachel said, "Hey everybody! How you all doing tonight? Wasn't Razorblade Kiss awesome? Well, we are going to get going. We are Newthaetch! The first song we are going to sing is called The Truth. We hope you all like it! Enjoy!"

*Rachel took a drink of her water. She nodded to Josh, letting him know that he could start his guitar. Then, she started playing and singing.*

And I’ve collected all these thoughts
And I’m dying just to lose them
And if your words are true or not
I’ll die trying to prove them
But I’ll just have to accept
That my mind is so inept
And the only thing that’s left
For me to do is to trust you

Convince me
Because I really need your help
Oh convince me
Because I can’t see this for myself

I’ll put the emphasis on the evidence
Begging for the proof
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth

This is so unnerving
I know you’ve never lied to me before
But the things you’re telling me
I can’t yet believe
Yet can’t ignore
But I’ll just have to accept
That my mind is so inept
And the only thing that’s left
For me is to trust you

Put the emphasis on the evidence
Begging for the proof
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
Attempt to place our lives into your hands
Confide in what you’ll do
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth

It’s a world full of cynics
Who say to stay alive in it
You gotta stick with what you know
But the soul is always aching
For the heart to start taking
A chance by letting go

So let go
Let go
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
Attempt to place our lives into your hands
Confide in what you’ll do
Cause sometimes when you’re trying to sleep
And all your doubts and your faith
Don’t agree its cause
Sometimes the hardest thing to believe is the truth
Song written by Relient K.

OOC-I hope its ok I started playing!

[Richard "Wolf" Canis]

**OOC: Man 20 pages**

[Jonathan Stan Wandwip]

Jon smiled. "Ah yes, Remus, your reputation preceds you." he said, shaking his hand. It was then that he spotted Magyn, and took a step.

"Well, Remus, if you like to come with me, I must see my daughter." he said, taking a walk over to her, and Lizabeth.

"And how are you girls doing this fine evening?"

[Riachnyn Black]

Riachnyn finished warming up her bass clarinet and stepped up to the back of the stage, waiting for any sign of when she was to play. Listening applause to the other bands, she wondered if she and her classical music would be recieved as well. Checking her reed and all of her screws, she nervously tapped her foot.

[Monica Rainbows]

Monica walked in, REALLY late for the Yule Ball, she noticed Drake with another girl, and decided to just leave. Monica had left Hogwarts.

[Tom Allen Poe]

"Um yah ok". "I hope that your ok but me and Aqua really need to get ower dance in". He turned back and smiled at Aqua. "Ready? Again?". He smiled and laughed. He lead her to the dance floor.

[Sheena Ayala]

Sheena still sat at a table drinking her punch like blood. She was sooooo bored sitting by herself talking to no one, and wondered aloud,"Why did I even come? I had no date and very few friends. And now I'm talking to myself. How pathetic is this?"

[Claire DeLour]

*Claire smiled again.*

Yes, I'm fine, it's ok, really. It was great to meet both of you, and enjoy the dance!

*Tom and Aqua left to go dance, leaving her with the rest of the people on the sidelines.*

[Lizabeth Riddle]

Lizabeth glared at Mr. Wandwip "excuse me and Jack we have to go do some thing at this moment in time Magin, Richard" she said tiping her head towards the two not even to speaking to Mr. Wandwip she turned and walked toward Fenrir Pulling Jack with her and stood next to the werewolf "excuse me but by any chance do you know if kings coming?" she asked him she already knew the answer but she wanted some thing to do farther away from the group or rather Mr. Wandwip for tonight

[Solana Taylor]

Solana breathed in deeply, she heard the music thumping from the Dance Hall as she waited for her new found date to arrive.

She knew everybody was already inside the hall dancing away and having a good time together, she couldn't wait to see the look on everybody's faces when she entered with Hero on her arm.

She sighed and fiddled with her bracelet as she waited for Hero to arrive.

[Hero Woods]

Hero smiled as he came down the stairs leading to the dance hall. He saw Solana messing with her bracelet.

He approached her with a big smile on his face.

"Hello Beautiful" he smiled and kissed her on the cheek.

"Let's do this.." He took her hand and lead her to the door.

OOC: His suit...

[Solana Taylor]

"Hello Beautiful.." she heard him say and he kissed her on the cheek.

She looked up and smiled at him.

"You look very handsome.." she smiled at him.

She grabbed onto his hand tightly as they pushed open the doors together and entered the hall.

Her dress flowed nicely down her body, her hair flowing around her face and her wings were spread out nicely behind her.

Solana smiled as she looked around at the crowds of people gathered in the dance hall.

"Shall we dance?" Solana said.

OOC: Her outfit...

[Hero Woods]

Hero smiled as he opened the doors to the dance hall and took a good look around at the crowds.

Solana was holding onto his hand tightly, she must be nervous, he thought.

"Yes" he replied to Solana's question about dancing.

He lead her onto the dance floor and twirled her around. The music was loud, it had a good beat.

There was no one else he'd rather be here with, he thought. He had only just met Solana but she seemed pretty keen and he liked her too so he was going to impress tonight, in hope that something more would follow.

[Lydia Natalie Turner]

((ooc: whoa. this thread is moving really quickly... & sorry for the crap post))

Lydia tapped her foot lightly against the wood floor in beat with the music. She heard her name coming from someone's mouth, a familiar voice, so she turned her head in that direction. Hey Lydia.. she smiled as she saw her fellow Prefect, Ian. "Hey!" she said and smiled softly. Do you wanna dance? she heard him ask. Her heart soared and she smiled gratefully, "Definitely." she replied.

She turned around to tell Azlen that she was going to dance, but the Gryffindor girl had left and gone to sit down at a table. Okay then.. she thought curiously, but brushed it off and turned her attention back to Ian. "Shall we?" she asked jokingly and flashed Ian a warm smile.

[Fenrir Greyback]

"Excuse me but have we meet before?" Fenrir didn't want to be drawn the little brat princess. i don't know, I'm his servant not his secretary i don't know his schedule thought Fenrir fully knowing that vampires can read minds.

[Spyke O'Connery]

Butso can Devilkins. 'thought spyke as she heard only his thought when she looked to Fenrir. he was somewhat odd. why would a grown man and other men around here (not including Lupin ^ ^) be here or be allowed to be here. she looked away not carrying about anyone being aleagence to the dark lord. she was a dark auror, why would she care, she just was payed to assasin anyone on anyside good or bad, back and forth, to whomever side payed the most. a great job indeed,oourse a job for a devilin, and close friends, such as her friend hark.

she walked over to Richard. 'hey Richard!' she calle d above the music. 'would you wanna dance?' she smiled to him

[Rachel Duly]

"Sometimes the hardest thing to beleive is the truth." Rachel sang.

"I hope you all enjoyed that one! The next song we are going to play is kind of an anthem for everybody in school. I think you'll all be able to relate to it. This is Chem 6A!"

*Rachel looked over to Josh.*

Josh yelled, "1 2 3 4!"

*Then, Josh started to play his guitar. After a few seconds, everybody else joined in.*


Nothing but a chemical
In my head
Nothing but laziness
I don't wanna read
The book
I'll watch the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody
Else my age

I think I'd rather
Play around
And I think I'd rather
Watch TV
'Cause I don't wanna face
My fears
I'll watch the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like
Everybody else

CHORUS
Because I don't wanna
Be here
I don't wanna see
This now
It's all wrong but it's
All right
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna study now
It's all wrong but it's
All right

I don't know what love is
And I don't know who I am
And if I ever want to
Find out
I'll watch the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like everybody
Else my age

I don't wanna change
The world
And I don't wanna
Be someone
And I don't wanna write
The book
I'll make the movie
'Cause it's not me
I'm just like
Everybody else

CHORUS
Song by Switchfoot

*As Rachel sung, she began to dance around a bit. She wasn't playing guitar for this song, so she took her mic off of the stand and just jumped around on stage. She was having the best time.*

[Richard "Wolf" Canis]

Richard watched Lizabeth drag Jack over to Fenrir. Ok he thought. he keep watching them untill Spyke came and asked to dance. Richard smiled at her. "Sure lets go."
