♫ 14 - that is what I listen to...

[tossing his guitar on the bed, Lindsey grins as he finally got a song to sing figured out and a slot with Lorne at Caritas. He stops and grabs his journal to plan on letting a few people know]

[Jilly]

I'm performing tonight at Caritas around sevenish. I know it's last minute, but I'd really love it if you'd show up.

[/Jilly]


[and for everyone else...]

If anyone's interested, I'm going to be playing at Caritas tonight 'round seven. Anyone who wants to come down is welcome. I'll even buy a round. I'm sure someone will have an open journal if ya can't make it. Hope to see you there.

[he leaves to shower, then heads back to the club. When he gets up around seven, he just has one song to sing...]

[ooc: feel free to chat with him before or after the performance. I just didn't want to have two separate threads to confuse people]

Every place needs music.

[he will let her slide away after another moment so he could order a drink for himself]

I forgot how much I missed it. It's like a little rush. Get all nervous, and then once you start, it's like you wonder why you were worried in the first place.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

I've always found it amazing to see people actually perform.

Galleries can be like that, a bit, but people really think much about what the artist actually looks like and there's not exactly a spotlight on you. You can duck out if it's not going well. [though that never really worked as well as one might hope]

[taking her seat again, hands automatically wrapping around her coke]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm sure you never had to duck out on your shows.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

You'd be surprised. [a grin] I've had my fair share of bad shows.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Oh really? [grins] Any spectacular escapes? Like climbing out the bathroom window?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

No bathroom windows, but I knocked down an entire pyramid of balanced pop cans trying to avoid a particularly ruthless professor at a school show.

It was supposed to be a statement on consumerism, I think. It caused quite a mess.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[laughs gently]

So it went from recycling to the city dump? That it?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

That and the lecture of a lifetime for disrespecting other people's art. It was more of a smashing disaster than success.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

At least his art got a lot of attention that night.

[sips his drink]

So you going to do another show around here?

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure. I haven't really had much of a chance to build up enough pieces for a show.

I was hoping to do something with other artists here. I think there's more than a few around. But it's been hard to really find others and a space for a showing.

[a quick grin] Though I might have come up with an idea for where to hold the class.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Really? Do tell.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[wry smile] Remember the castle's decision to renew my faith?

...I'm pretty sure no one is using the church for anything, anymore.

[since she doesn't realize that Larfleeze is still living there]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[nods, and has no idea who Larfleeze is]

Could be a great place. Most churches have rec rooms for those kinds of activities. You just won't be able to have any little demon kids.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

Oh...[brow furrowing. She hadn't thought of that]

I wonder if it actually counts as hallowed ground when it's not being used for anything...

[she happens to like a number of the demons here... and she's not sure how many of them would be affected]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

It does. To build a church on it, it would have to be made so. Only an act of pure desecration would turn the ground sour. And that ain't something I wish to see again anytime soon, darlin'.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

No... if it becomes an issue, I think I'll just find another spot.

...funny. I know you hear about that... sacred ground and all. But it's just a building. It's not like sacred ground makes the people inside act any more holy.

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

Actually, it's not the building that makes it sacred either. The land is blessed before the building even goes up. Graveyards have the same blessing, as do some other places. In fact, some jails even have sacred ground because the religions at the town deemed that it was needed to keep the devil away from the souls inside.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[a smile] Well, I'll try to keep from holding my art class in any of the local prisons, then.

[a beat]...do we actually even have one of those?

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

I think in the basement. Wherever they stashed the Joker.

[ok, need a change of topic]

So... Lorne said I'm supposed to treat you to at least one dance tonight...

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[probably for the best]

[a grin.] Lorne has good ideas.

You know how?

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[shrugs, playful smiling]

I can fake it pretty well, and can at least not step on your feet.

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

That's plenty good enough. [releasing her coke, she'll take his hand, slipping off her chair again]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[yeah, there's something to be said about Lindsey when he's with a woman he cares about. He's more likely to do things that he normally wouldn't do, if it means that it makes her happy. Like dancing. So she has no problem dragging him onto the floor]

[tehoniongirl.livejournal.com]

[Jilly is passionate about the things she loves. Art, reading... and music. It's one of the few times when she can be completely happy and not even the tiniest bit self-conscious about being in someone's arms.

Light on her feet, she doesn't exactly drag him out, but her enthusiasm would be hard to refuse even if he was reluctant.]

[evilhandissue.livejournal.com]

[he's keeping the evil hand off her, so only one arm is holding her waist, trying to imitate her movements. He felt a bit awkward, but seeing her smile and how much she was enjoying it took away any inclination to stop.]
