Day 53: Music Room

Well, if it wasn't his favorite time of the week. They say distance makes the heart grow fonder. Of course in this case, distance makes Klavier feel like an abused, neglected animal who was only now being allowed a taste of actual food. These people were such savages. It was still absolutely absurd that they were allowed access to this room so rarely. But the tactic was also brilliant on their part, sad to say. Klavier was always at his quietest and most obedient on Music Room days. The perfect model patient. He would give them no excuse to deprive him of this precious time.

Today was going to be a little different, however. Not only was he given access to music today, but a bout of entertainment as well. Apparently that band that had been setting up tryouts for the last week was ready to get the show on the road and start their auditions. Normally, this was the sort of project he wouldn't hesitate to take part in. But aside from the injury to his left hand and shoulder, there were three critical factors keeping him from doing so:

1. The band was named "Sex Bob-Omb." Klavier may have missed the band scene, but he had no intention of attaching his name to some Tom Jones cover band.
2. There weren't many actual instruments in the Music Room; certainly not enough variety to form the type of band they want. The one who made the poster said something about improvising instruments through whatever means necessary. A noble goal, but again, Klavier was not so desperate yet as to reduce himself to playing with a box of tissues strung up with rubber bands. That was too pathetic an image to ever place himself into.
3. The person who had posted placed up a sample music sheet of one of their songs. Klavier had no idea how many people here could actually read music enough to know what it was they were looking at there, but he had been able to decipher it perfectly. Their music... it was kind of god-awful.

In short, this was basically a disaster waiting to happen. The hints were enough to tell him this was likely going to be something akin to nails on a chalkboard... amplified by five. So honestly, he should be as far away from this room as humanly possible.

But he was not going to let these people ruin his rare access time to the Music Room. No, instead he took one of their old CD players and a carefully selected CD of choice (for the sake of his sanity) and took a seat at one of the tables, turning the chair so as to get an optimal view of the show. Why not? No harm in indulging in a little "entertainment," yes?

[free to anyone who wants to watch this train wreck with him :D ]

When the kid approached her, she looked slowly up at him with a kind of subdued annoyance. What, did she have babysitter scribbled on her forehead in permanent marker or something? The sheer number of kids who'd approached her was getting to be annoying. But, what the hell, it beat the hell outta teenage girl and maybe it would mean looking a little on the sweeter side to Dean while he was hanging around and --

And where the hell had Sam gone anyway? She'd caught him at lunch again but for now he seemed MIA. A brief scowl lit her face as she glanced around the room and pulled the headphones down around her neck, finally fixing her gaze on the boy trying to get her attention.

"What is that, the crazytown version of 'you come here often?' Save it for someone a little more your league, kid." There was no way she was playing the newbie card again. For one, she ran the risk of Dean listening and finding out Sam had gone all Rambo and iced her in the first place. More importantly, though, she'd gotten the information she'd needed as far as being new would get her -- it was better to play the oldie card and try and fake a casual discussion of something that'd gone down recently so she could get the updates that way.

But it all mounted up to the fact that Ruby was not sharing anything resembling the truth anytime soon. She simply didn't need to.

Jr. knew he wasn't likely to be taken very seriously as long as people thought he was a kid, but he wasn't about to give his secrets away to some stranger just so they would know who they were dealing with. Besides, it wasn't like he didn't know how to deal with people that thought he was as old as he looked.

"Not exactly. I wanna know some things...that bastard on the radio, he's the guy keeping us here, right? Is he always like that?"

Oh, come on. Was he serious? The look of incredulity couldn't be masked from Ruby's face and she found herself very close to offended at the insinuation that she was somehow the information highway and he had all access pass. Just who was this chump? Or maybe the better question was who did he think he was?

"Yeah, because I'm just bursting at the seams with my desire to spread around a newsletter. I don't think so, Red. Try the next booth over." Wiping the appalled look off her face finally only led to a more resigned disgust and purse-lipped annoyance. She reached for the headphones and began to pull them back up over her ears.

Like she was really in a position to tour-guide the newbie, even if she had any desire to.
