Fire Elementals only, Karlee plus three others may join, joining this thread also means joining the Fire Ferrets band
Enzair walked up to the large decorated double doors of the old court room of the castle, he always wondered what duke or lord dwelled here, perhaps there will be some painting of him, though he highly doubted it, if there were any they are probably in a museum by now.
However the halls were empty, he then pulled out a old key from his pocket and unlocked large double doors. Opening the doors he found the place to be surprisingly empty he heard it was an old storage place full of unwanted and useless stuff, but apparently that was highly exaggerated the only stuff in there were a bunch of fancy tables, candle holders and chairs. It was not a forbidden place, it’s just it never had a use before. The far end he could see where the throne use to be, well, where he figured it was as it was nothing but what he would call a stage, where the duke and his council use to be in ancient times… well not that it was ancient times when this place was built but it was classical well it was what Enzair thought.
Pushing the doors open wide and pocketing the key he walked further into the room where he then looked around for a light switch eventually he did and flipped the switched sadly he only herd a fizzle as the old lights burnt out right away along with a single light bulb exploding. Frowning he turned the switch back off and turned around and looked about.
“This place needs a little renovation,” Enzair said aloud. Enzair walked over to one of the tabled and attempted to move it but it did not budge. Grunting he grabed the table with both of his hand and pulled as ahrd as he could, the damn thing was heavy but he did get it to the center of the room.
“God damn… what do they make those things out of,” complained Enzair his back sore and a bit tired, it took everything he got to move the damn table it was a large table. Streatching for a moment he headed back over the stuff and grabbed a couple cushioned chairs in each hand, at least these were light. He put all the chairs on one side, the side closest to the entrance. Grabbing a fifth he put it on the other side of the table.
Enzair walked back outside into the hall where he grabbed his guitar case which was lying down near the wall next to the doorway of the court room. Walking back in he set it on the table where walked around sat down in his chair so he can face the entrance and opened his guitar case, this was his prized guitar, his baby.
Enzair leaned back in his chair then noticed a box with candles sticking out. Getting up right away he grabbed the box and the candle holders and spread them about in the room on the already existing shelves on the walls. Walking back to his chair and sitting down in it, he looked around the room the clapped his hands and they all lit up.
“Nice…” said enzair with a smile. Right now he had his back to the entrance and was leaning in his chair up against the solid and heavy table.

Karlee and Enzair had started a little band a while back called the Fire Ferretts. She had always been into music, so it was no surprise. However, she usually never sang in front of people. She always had a good singing voice, she just never showed it to people. Why would she when she felt she wasn't good enough at it? However, for a rock band, it was good enough. Most bands like this didn't have female singers but hey - she was it and she didn't really care. It was fun and she hoped that someday soon they would actually be able to perform for some of the student body. They had done some practicing - but needed a lot more. Mainly just to get syncronized.
But now that Enz found them a practice room, it would be a lot easier. He had told her where they where going to meet up. In the old court room. She was pretty sure that they where not supposed to be in there, but she wouldn't dwell on the fact. Neither of them where exactly rule followers. She occasionally played the base or back up guitar for the band as well, but singing was what she did mostly. She was better at singing than at playing bass, so she just accepted it. It wasn't like she didn't enjoy it, she was just starting to come out of her shell a bit and learn that singing in front of people wasn't that bad.
She found the meeting spot where the band was supposed to be meeting up, and checked the door. It was already unlocked, so she imagined that Enzair was already here. She slowly opened the heavy door and stepped inside. There where already candles lit around - making the dark room seem a bit brighter. And she saw Enzair. "Hey," She said, while looking around and taking in the surroundings. "You picked a nice spot." She said, continuing to take in the surroundings. She wondered what this place was like years and years ago. When the place was actually ran by royality. "So what's going on today, captain?" She said, as she stepped in front of him and folded her arms over her chest.

OOC: you can pick who the other two members are. Name and gender XD
IC: “Thanks, I’ll get some light bulbs for this place next time, I was thinking something simple for us to play I am a fan of Evanescence, but I don’t know if you know of any, I was thinking of ‘Erase this’ or ‘end of the dream’ By Evanescence, they have the guitar, Piano, and drums. But if there is anything else you want to play then chose, so long as we know it too,” Said Enzair as the others rolled their stuff in on trolley’s, first the drummer with his entire kit, then the pianist, and finally the third guy carrying two cases one guitar one bass, he played back up guitar or the bass whatever he feels like and he does not Mind sharing his bass with Karlee, in fact this guy by the name of Andrew Jay Kane had a crush on Karlee, but he did not even have the guts to ask her fearing she has already been taken by someone else.
Enzair wondered if the other elementals had their own band like the Enzair, Karlee and the others. If there was Enzair was determined to have his Fire Ferrets to be the best, to crush the others. The others began to set their equipment up on the ‘stage’ where the duke’s or lord’s chair use to be. There were definentally power outlets so it was used for something before, but not anymore, well until now.
Enzair pulled his key from his pocket and set it on the table then dug in his other pocket and pulled out a few more keys. Putting his master key back in his pocket he handed the other keys to Karlee and the others. “Don’t lose these keys, they are the old master keys, they will open any lock that has not been replaced. So far that is those double doors and where ever that double door leads, and I am sure that is all they work for now considering everything else has been replaced, so wil these locks as soon as I can get it aprooved to change them to the X locks… which I doubt will happen,” Enzair said finishing with point at the closed double doors on the right side of the room. Usually that would lead to the ‘war room’ and ‘treasury’ they are probably storage now, probably so full there is hardly any room to move around which would explain why so few things were in the court room. If there is nothing then their empty and waiting for use.
There were probably other places the keys could unlock, but so far all the classrooms and offices that are or were in use all used modern keys that these skeleton keys won’t work on, let alone fit. They might open up some of the cells in the dungeon that still had their doors, but considering their rusted it is highly unlikely now. Given time soon these keys will be obsolete as old locks are easy to pick and Enzair had plans on replacing the locks to this room with modern advanced X locks, the impossible to pick locks is what they are.
it did not take long for everyone to set up, "here, wait Karlee i wan't you to hear this prehaps you could come up with the Lyrics for it," Grabbing his guitar and heading over to plug it in to the speakers and whatnot, "Lets play Unique for her guys," said Enzair the Pianist guy had set up two piano's he was good at playing duel, might as well call him the god of duel piano playing.

Karlee hadn't ever thought she was that great of a singer - but everybody was their own worst critic right? In her case that was totally true. "I know some." She said, nodding. "Not going to say I know every one of their songs. But with a little practice I think we'll all be able to play pretty much whatever." She said, nodding her head a little bit. Being the only female in the band, she figured it was going to be hard to get her word in - but of course, she was sort of a stubborn wench so she wasn't going to get pushed around either. As the bands singer and back up bass player, she had a pretty important role. Well, they all did. It was called a band for a reason. It wasn't just one or two people, it was all of them.
She had always sort of known about the bass guitarists crush on her. He made it pretty obvious, but Karlee never acted on it.The reason was mostly because she thought of the band kind of like a job, and she wasn't really interested in a relationship. Not a lasting one, anyways. The thought scared her, and she didn't really want to admit it. So instead she was jsut content on messing around. Karlee nodded as he handed her a key, and as he talked. "Yes sir." She said, almost sarcastically. He was kind of the band leader, but she thought they all had a pretty even part in it. Although he was the one that had really brought them all together, and planned mostly everything. So he should get the credit.
Karlee was the newest member of the band, so she figured the guys had been practicing a while before she came into the picture. Cody Johnson, the Pianist, had been around here for a while. She happened to be the youngest, too. She was in eleventh grade - although eighteen and supposed to be a senior, and the others where all in college already. Mark - the drummer, was also one of the original "Fire Ferrets". They where all practicing the day that she came out and saw them - and was sort of brought into it because she knew how to play the bass. "Alrighty." She replied, as they started to play. She hadn't heard this one yet - and he wanted her to write lyrics? "I'll need some time to come up with some good lyrics..." She said, as they where still playing.
Her gaze shifted in thought as they played, and no real good lyrics where crossing her mind. Though she figured it would probably come to her in the middle of the night when she was trying to sleep. That was when all of her best thoughts came to her. Probably because her dorm mates where fairly loud, and the people on the other side of the wall, so even when she tried to sleep they usually kept her up. She didn't get along with them, so she didn't try too hard to get along with them. More like just sleep and ignore them, or find a way to sneak into the boys dorms to hang out with people she actually got along with. "I will think of something." She said, nodding briefly. "It sounds good though. I like it."
OOC : Sorry, this is kind of a bad post. It will get better ha.

“thanks,” said Enzair when they finished, “only some super computer AI thingy could come uop with something right away, but music comes from the heart, mostly the lyrics then the song with it, so the lyrics might be something that happened in your past that reflect your life experience. It is how all the greatest bands and musicians came about, that includes Evanescence, you never know though, it might just remain as music without word,” He explained.
“Well anyway, let’s play something we all know, we know evanescence, so…” asked Enzair there Is bound to be something she wants to play but if not it’s all fine if she does not want to sing she could play the bass. While waiting for her response Enzair began to play a quiet yet amazing song, he came up with this song through his life experience, mark the drummer knew it well and had came up with a drum to play along with it and he did, he loved the drums and would find any reason and take any chance to play them. It was a very long song at that too, almost 18 minutes long, and the song almost never repeated a cord or series of cords more than a few times.
“Karlee, I will let you on a secret,” Said Enzair as he was still playing, “it is something I have told very few everyone in our band knows this secret… and so does Joshua Dale, you have probably heard the tale or rumor that I am the last of my family, it is very much true, my death would spell the end of the phoenix family, a family full of rich history and legend… they died when I was very young, and I was there… I watched them gunned down right before my youth eyes… I was only five then, I was traumatized, it is hard to talk about it and not think of the memory, the mere thought about it causes me to have a flash back, a very vivid flash back as though it were just happening… the music helps to subdue the paralyzing effect as the images and emotions overwhelm me, it is my greatest weakness, we all have them,” Said Enzair as the song began to pick of pace and become a little more epic and emotional.
“If anything reminds me or anyone reminds me, they have the perfect chance to take me out, one thing about it though, is I will never forget their faces, the faces of those thugs who killed my family just for the money in their pocket, my father, mother and older sister died that day, they left me alive, I don’t know why, it was their mistake, that man, and his scar face who held his gun to my head before one of them told him to stand down, if I ever see him again I will show him hell,” said Enzair.
“I hope my trust in you will prove to last, it is easy to gain but if you break it I will never forgive you as I will never forgive Joshua as he betrayed my trust for an Earth woman, Nell Shepherd.” He explained.
Enzair paused playing for a moment when he pulled a bad cord ruining the song and the other three immediately stopped doing what they are doing looked at Enzair in concern.
Looking at his guitar “Sorry… I almost forgot how my song went, which is why were merely armatures in the musical world” joked Enzair. Instead of continuing again he set his guitar down, continuing again in the middle of the epic would just not sound good.
