I ♥ Rock And Roll

Heeeeeeeey, dudes an' dudettes! This is Manic, live from the roof at a little New Year's part on the roof! We're still gonna be here a while, so if you got nothin' t'do, come on up!

While I've got this thing on, how about a song?

*Starts playing and singing this little number...*

( If they could see you now/ They would surely bow... )

((... I just wanted an excuse to post some Cobra Starship. |D))

So, um, it's Christmas day now, so it's time t'give my bros their present. This one goes out t'you~

*He begins to play a very special song, which may or may not seem oddly familiar~*

( Well, I don't show off, don't criticize/ I'm just livin' by my own feelings... )

Hello again, ladies and gents of the hotel! Manic here, with a special guest t'spread some holiday cheer~ Say hi to the nice people, Scourge!

Hi to the nice people, Scourge.

*a rimshot is played*

*laughs* Cute, man. Shall we get started~?

Oh, hell yeah.

*Jingling bells back a guitar for several measures before the vocals to this song kick in and the bells are abandoned for drums*

( What's this? What's this?/ There's color everywhere! )

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, an' all that fun stuff, peeps~

*The hedgehog chuckles low before he starts playing a little something from the Nutcracker...*

So, Rue, will that do~?

*Music blares from a stereo, partially masking the hedgehog talking to himself*

So that's how they're powered? Seems simple enough to rig up, if the closet'll cooperate...

*faint sound of pencil on paper* ... so I'll put that there... and that there... connect to there, there, and there...

*soft laugh* Haha, this doesn't look that hard. No problem~

*The music keeps playing until the recording times out*

ATTENTION MUSICIANS, RE: EPIC JAM SESSION

Sunday night. 6PM. Common room. Be ready to ROCK.

Anyone who wants to just sit in and listen are also welcome.

Snacks will totally be provided~

This one goes out to Shuro. Shine on, y'crazy diamond~

*Begins to play and sing along to this song...*

( I'll free your mind and your androgyny~ )

So! Anyway, everyone, I've been thinkin'. We got a ton of musicians here. Like, a ton. And a lot of peeps are all emo after the vampire business. So! Epic jam session! Common room! Who's up for it? And can anyone do, like, snacks an' coffee or somethin', cause that'd make it even more kickass!

So, uh, if it's all the same to you guys? I think I'll stick with being sparkly a little longer. I don't wanna risk bein' Emperor Badtouch again. D8

*sings softly, sounding thoroughly exhausted*

... it's a piece a'cake t'make a pretty dango daikazoku,
if the bananaphone's not a pony~
gotta walk the dino by the book,
y'know yer not a daisy...

*sudden giggle fit*

*thunk!*

*click!*

*There's a wistful something in the melody as the hedgehog plays a snatch of a song...*

Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill

I want to love you but I better not touch
I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too much
I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison
You're poison running through my veins
You're poison, I don't want to break these chains

*the drumsticks clack together as he puts them both in one hand and heavily headdrums*

*quietly* Scourge is the vampire ringleader. He said he was plannin' somethin', but wouldn't tell me what it was. Just... be careful, everyone, OK?

*Recording clicks off*

dshk;fkhdf. Haven't slept for days, none of the food even looks good, and when I tried to eat, it just made me hurl... I want something, but I can't put my finger on what it is...

... and is it just me, or does anyone else hear the music? It's, like, coming from everywhere, but nowhere. In the city, it's, like, MIDI quality bleeps and bloops, but here... It changes. From pop to heavy metal to techno to punk to orchestral, depending where I'm at. It's like, I'm hearin' the very groove of this place, the people, and it's been getting louder an' louder...

I'm all right, right? Just, like, comin' into my own powers, like Sonic did with his speed and Sonia with her spin, right?

... right?

Edit:

So, uh, was talkin' to my bro an', er, I might be unconsciously suckin' out people's energy instead of their blood. If I am, it ain't seriously hurt any of the city peeps I've been around yet, but, uh, yeah. Just a friendly warnin'.

... OK, I got one question, an' one question only, people.

WHY THE HELL AM I SPARKLING?!

Seriously, it looks like someone ground, like, a gallon of glitter into my fur and it ain't washin' out. I tried, like 5 times already and it's only made things worse.

Guess there's one thing left for me to do: find a totally bitchin' rave while I still got the sparkle motion thing goin' on!

BRB checkin' the closet for the right threads.

*There's a brief spooky wail and a soft chuckle as the hedgehog sets up... something. His voice randomly distorts as he speaks*

Test, test, one, two, threeeeee~

*He laughs softly again. There's a brief pause as he goes to seat himself at his drums, then he hits something and begins to play a very special song~*

( Boys and girls of every age/ Wouldn't you like to see something strange? )

*The spooky sounds cut out, but his voice remains distorted* Happy Halloween, dudes~

( Private to Zonic; Hackable with great difficulty )

So, uh, anyone come across any exploding metal bugs lately? I tried to squish one earlier and it blew up on me. I'm OK, but that stung, man!

Also, yo, robot dude! You interested in a slightly-used electric drumkit? It's not a bad piece of work, but... yeah, bad memories.


Oh, and P.S.: Mountain climbing. It's AWESOME. (3

*The sound of proper drums is finally heard again from room 1006, to the beat of this song. The hedgehog doesn't miss a single beat as he plays the drums as loud and hard as he can. His voice as he sings along is as on key as it was before the strangeness occurred. The hedgehog has returned to the building!*

*Mutters* Man, that was some pretty messed-up crap right there...

Just lettin' y'all know I'm OK. Bath time now. A long, long bath. *sighs* An' sorry to anyone I was creepy to. Just... yeah. Sorry.

*A hesitant beat on some sort of electric drum pad start and stops several times before noticeably becoming the beat to this song. After a few measures, he begins singing, the beat slowly disintegrating into a right mess...*

Well, I know a thing about contrition,
Because I got enough to spare.
And I'll be granting your--FUCK!

*clatter of drumsticks hastily tossed aside* What the fuck is wrong with me?! This used to be second-nature!

*long pause*

... fuck. Be patient, man; be patient. Let's try this again...

*recording times out on another shaky beat*

( [Private, hackable with great difficulty] )

Dude! Like, what's up with everyone all actin' all weird? It's, like, they all turned into different people overnight! Mondo creepy, man.

( [Private; hackable with difficulty] )

So, uh, since people are goin' emo over people goin' poof, I thought I'd, like, take song requests t'cheer people up. Or hey, even if you're not emo, I'll still take 'em~

This song goes out to whoever's in room 707, since my computer's sayin' he or she needs hugs.

( *He begins playing an upbeat tune...* )

Um... I didn't do that, did I?
