BUMPSSSS <3

OOC:
Bumps :D

((Sorry D;  I was busy at my dad's house.  And sorry if my post is cruddy, I'm really tired and not feeling too well.))

It was no later than midnight when the bus came to a rushed halt in an oversized parking lot.  Storm- a rather light sleeper- awoke in a daze, glancing curiously outside the window.  He couldn't believe what he saw, a perplexed stare in his eyes.  The manager had actually brought the crew to a hotel, though it was clearly a bit delayed for that.

Moments after, the thirty- year old man approached the living quarters of the bus.  Noticing the singer awake, he glared to him with deep brown eyes and a slight curve of a smirk.  "Can you wake the others up?"  He yawned lazily.  "I think we could all use a night of comfort."  He didn't even wait for a response before starting off towards the hotel, ready to book a few rooms.

Sidney easily woke Skunk and Flare, next coming to Dodger.  The bassist looked so peaceful in his slumber, though the echo of his snoring kinda ruined the tranquility.  He shook the blondie gently, but he seemed to resist.  Skunk joined in more briskly, while Flare called his name from the side.  It took great effort to finally pull him from his trance, and the trio of members sighed of relief when the task was over with.

The hotel interior was absolutely stunning, everything modern and with the times.  And this time of the year it was a ghost town- everyone with their family for Christmas- so the band didn't have to worry about satisfying any fans.

They ended up occupying two suites, the group seperating.  Naturally, Sidney and Skunk stuck together, the manager staying with the other two band members.  They got the larger of the areas, which were adjacent to eachother and located on the floor third from top.

The guitarist and the singer settled into their suite, enjoying the luxury of it all.  Sid had found his way to the private balcony, while Skunk had already drifted away on the king- sized bed in the small back room.

The view from the balcony was astonding, with the city lights and the tall buildings.  Only the brightest stars could be seen through all the light pollution, though the moon made a bold entrance in the dusky sky.  He took in the view for a good ten minutes before disappearing inside and taking his rightful place on the bed, opposite side of his band mate.

---

The hotel offered a free continental breakfast, and the band took advantage of this.  They had the whole day to enjoy their time here, the concert not taking place until the following day.  They were already close to their concert destination, which was about ten minutes from the hotel.  

Each of them had different plans and activities in mind.  Storm thought about taking a stroll about the city, though that idea had been rained on.  Literally.  Instead, he found himself relaxing on the balcony, watching the charges of lightning that accompanied the rain.

The remainder of the band was busy inside the hotel, behaving as usual.  Skunk was glued to the weather channel, looking for estimates on when the rain would pass.  Flare was warming himself by the fireplace in the opposite suite, ocassionally poking at a log to shift it into the perfect position.  The manager was getting some much needed rest, and Dodger was doing the same. 

[Lol, its fine <3 I just hate putting 'bump' again and again, so I put other crap -.-
And, are they in the hotel that Nikki will be going too? xD]

((Yeah, 'bump' does get a bit boring.  Ya gotta mix it up ;D

And, they can be ;P))

[Yayyyyyyy ~

Give me a second to reply~~]

[Sorry. D: All these other rp's covered the forum and I never saw this thread again, until it slowed down D:
Sorry this sounds so rushed also. I didn't really know how this all worked xD!]

After dancing around in her room, she finally heard knocking on her door from her parents, asking her if everything was alright and to 'keep it down'. Realizing that she'd have to ask them to take her to the plane for the concerts location, she opened the door, and said,
"Guess what! I won a contest! I can see Relapse again in concert!"
And, I can see Sidney again...
She thought to herself, excitedly. Her father smiled and said,
"Great!" after she told them details about it. But her mother kept frowning.
"Your grounded, Nikki. I don't think you should go..."
Nikki's excitement sank as she heard her mothers words. She looked at her dad, pleading. And, thankfully, her father and her had such a special bond to where she knew he'd talk her mother into it.

After grabbing a couple more clothes for the nights stay and for tomarrow at the concert, everything was packed. It wasn't easy, but her father finally coaxed her mother just enough to let her go. As long as her father could drive her, her mother said.
When everything was packed, she grabbed all her bags, and went downstairs, to see her dad waiting.
"Ready?" He asked. Nikki nodded excitedly as she replied,
"Of course!" And with that, she hugged her mom, said her 'thank you' and left with her dad to the air port.

~

After the plane ride to the location, there was someone standing by a limo with a paper that had the words 'Smith' on them. Excitedly, she ran to the man and said,
"Hi. I'm Nikki Smith. That's my dad." The man let her inside after showing him the tickets to show that she wasn't lieing about being the winner.
~
The limo took her and her father to a hotel, and the butler opened her door.
"Thanks." Nikki said as she looked up at the hotel infront of her. All she could think about was soon seeing Sidney again. Her father helped her get her bags as they walked inside. As they did, her father said,
"Nikki, I love you. But, I don't think I'm going to be very excited about going to a concert that is filled with a bunch screaming girls."
Laughing at his comment, Nikki said,
"It's fine if you don't come."
Thank God...
She thought to herself as they walked into the lobby.

[[ Bumps :D ]]

[[ bump ;) ]]

"Wanna practice for tomorrow?  Out here, in the open air?  We're what, six stories up?"  Sidney nearly leapt off the side of the private balcony in suprise as the guitarist yanked the sliding door open to see him, instrument in hand.  The singer didn't take long to consider, nodding with approval.  "Yup, six stories."  It was a short structure- For a hotel, at least.  "I'll join you for a song, so long as you'll fetch my favorite microphone.  And get Dodger, too.  I'm afraid Flare's drums won't fit out here, but I think he's busy soaking up the heat from the fireplace, anyway."

And with that, Skunk set off to gather the necessary equipment.  He brought his amp onto the moderate- sized balcony, handing Storm a jet black microphone with dazzling silver etchings on it.  It was a struggle to wake Dodger from his heavy daze, but when it was finally accomplished the bassist was happy to join the group for a jam.

Eyes elegantly rimmed in black, the singer helped to assure everything was plugged in and turned down enough so that they wouldn't get complaints.  Of course, that wasn't likely, considering the city was already erupting with noises from many sources.

A crowd had already gathered on the street across from the hotel, eyes of all variations trained on the band.  Some looked confused, though the half who recognized the trio had expressions of entrancement.

And as that first strum of the guitar sounded the crowd began to grow in size, their mini audience enjoying the show despite the missing drum beat.  Several teenagers even went to the extent of recording the footage on their fancy phones to savor at a later time.  They were really drawing in a large bunch, having fun all the while.

[[OMG I'm sorry!
I'm just letting you know I saw this thread before I responded, let me do that~
But, I remembered I didn't reply when I saw your post, becuase I had writers block. -.-
Should she maybe... Get curious or something and follow the noise to their room? She would look kind of like one of thost annoying crazed fans though D: 
Or, wait to surprise Sidney at the concert? ]

[[Bumps for Kate xD ]]

Just as Nikki was about to step foot in the entrance lobby, a familiar song - and familiar voice - was heard. She stopped walking and turned around to see a ton of people crowding around the sidewalk. Mostly girls.
 Her father kept going inside to the front desk, not realizing his daughter wasn't with him. Oblivious man, he was.
"Dad, I'll be right back!"
Nikki exclaimed as she ran out the door and outside, suitcase and all. She heard her father say,
"Where are you going, Nikki?"
But, she chose not to respond. She didn't even look to see if he followed. Right now, she didn't really care.
 As she got closer, she knew the song that was playing. It was one of the ones that she danced around in her bedroom too, when she first met Sidney as the true Sidney. She was still walking on air.
When she finally could get a glimpse of who was singing - and she realized her father didn't follow -, she smiled so wide that her cheeks hurt. She didn't care about getting her camera or phone out. Or didn't have the mindset to scream like some were. All she could find herself doing was staring with wide ruby eyes while biting her lip, at 'Storm' to everyone else, on the balcony. Part of her hoped he saw her. The other part wanted to surprise him. And, a small part became worried that he wouldn't even care to see her. But, she tried to ignore those haunting thoughts as she stood motionless with the crowd.

[Sorry this took so long.
And that its so short.
I'm. Ashamed. D; ]]
