[Jaunt] Casting call?

[truerevelation]

Uh. Hey, folks. Coupla things ... kinda connected, I dunno.

First, anyone heard anything about this missing band? Symulakrum. Sounds like half of the fuss is them goin' missing last night...

Second ... 'cause of that ... there was an empty spot in the schedule. And someone [not naming any names Maria] signed my ass up for it. ...Dunno how she pulled it off.

But ... yeah, I can sing. Pretty good, if I say so myself. I've got a bunch of tapes 'n some of my music shit in the car, but I came here for a break, right? ... 'Casey' me not 'Kanji' me. That ain't gonna cut it for a big show like this.
...So. This is gonna be a hell of a rush, but anyone up for getting a band together?

If you're in need of a manager, I can help to guide you through it. Someone was mentioning earlier that they've gained proficiency with a guitar, as well... If nothing else, the two of you may be able to progress as a duo.

[truerevelation]

Could probably use a competent manager. Maria's trying to be it at the moment and ... okay, she's older than usual but I don't think she knows how things work worth a damn.

[cloudpotter]

I'm not familiar with Maria, but if nothing else she certainly sounds... vivacious.

I've already made contact with some of the actual band managers around here; I'll see if I can't arrange to fit you and whoever you find into some practice slots before we get too carried away. What name has Maria registered you under?

[meanballerina]

Think you'll need an assistant? I'd like an excuse to be backstage.

[cloudpotter]

What do you intend to do back there?

[goestoextremes]

I got surprise drums and real surprise skills to play them if you need a drummer?

[truerevelation]

Man, there's worse things to come down with on a Jaunt than surprise drum skills... Yeah, could probably use it - come on in.

[wickedestwitch]

I can sing fairly well.

[truerevelation]

Heh, awesome! Gonna have to see what sorta vocals we can use here. I've got some stuff that could use another singer, I think...

[claudiometer]

[...sigh. She'd been afraid something like this would happen.]

If you're in that much of a bind, I can help. No singing, though. Not in front of this big of a crowd.

[truerevelation]

[Hey. Hey. Don't blame him! And ... well, someone had to do it? Perhaps?]

No worries. Elphaba already said she could help out with the singing side'f things ... but seriously. Thanks.

[rustyhonesty]

I would help out, but I've been dragged into a band already.

[truerevelation]

Whoa. People ain't hanging around, huh.

[meanballerina]

I can't play an instrument, but I can play support. It'll give me an excuse to hang around backstage.

[truerevelation]

Heh, excellent. So ya don't mind, I dunno, helping set stuff up or things like that?

[otomechapilot]

Uh. If nothing else I can sing and I can tote equipment when we're not being watched - Nike's blessing rubbed off on me.

I don't know how WELL I can sing - the people who applauded me were my Anchor and someone who flirts with everyone at base - but the offer's open.

[truerevelation]

Man, I don't think we're gonna be hurting for singers... uh, what sorta blessing are we talkin' about?

[howexciting]

... did they really name their troupe Simulacrum? As in, an imitation, a copy, a semblance? If I remember correctly, by the late 1800s, it had taken on a negative connotation as... an item without the original's qualities or substance.

[It's a little difficult to figure out homophones over the Network.]

If you require a composer, I could assist, although... for a venue like this, I would need to interface a record or the like so that it would be temporally accurate. Most of what I am hearing now is complete garbage. [Guess who got stuck next to the punk band.]

[truerevelation]

That's what I heard, yeah... Think I saw it on a flier somewhere. [He'll spare Leonardo the mis-spelling confirmation.] I guess they thought it sounded cool.

As for writin' the music... I think I've seen a few record shops around the place if you wanna get a better look at the stuff? Or ... listen to it, read of it. ... Can't promise a lot of it's gonna be more to your taste, though.

[elevatoravatar]

Oh wait! I am familiar with this ritual! It is one that those on a mission for God take on! To appease penguins!

I will gladly assist in seeing what the divinity of this world can bring. I do have some talent in singing.

[truerevelation]

...

...

Penguins? Where did ya hear... [Should he even ask? Velvet logic. He'll never get it.]

[jokerofhearts]

I don't know any instruments, but if you need a stage hand, I can help. I might even be able to find out something else by talking to other bands.

[truerevelation]

I think we're gonna need all the hands for anything we can get... sure. Come along, man.

[willyousee]

If you like, I can lend my voice as back up! I know all the popular songs of this particular decade, and could also offer flute and harp and bass guitar! I knew of it when we arrived here, and I think it should not be too difficult to obtain such an instrument. Would that be of interest?

[thornsofmalkav]

He really does. He interfaced them from a karaoke machine.
