2019-09-15 - Settling in the New Home

Too early for work, too late for the beach since she'd have to shower. Lyric was flopped on her bed, on her stomach, wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top. Knees are bent, ankles crossed in the air above her and she looks through her phone that rests on one of the many vibrant pillows on her bed.

Ico has been out on a run to clear his head Just having taken a shower after returning and have shorts and a black tanktop as well. Giving a wave to Lyric, checking to see the top bunks, before flopping onto his own bed. "How goes?" He asks and smiles, tilting his head back on his pillow to watch her upside down.

Cole sits on the floor next to Lyric's bunk, leaning back against it, legs stretched out in front of him. Unlike the others, he's dressed in a pair of jeans and a long-sleeved t-shirt despite the warm weather. He has his phone in front of him and taps away at it every so often. He tips his head back to look at Lyric and lifts the phone for her to see the screen. There is a picture of a very fat racoon attempting to leap from a trash can onto a wall and missing on it. "Heya," he says to Ico when he comes in.

Lyric looks down at the phone when it's held up and giggles as the raccoon misses his target. "Cute." Her own has Coin Master on it and she's at least got it on mute. Ruffling Cole's hair she shows him the 1356 spins she's gained somehow. Probably he doesn't really care, but she's happy with it. When Ico comes out she waves in return. "Good, just have a lot of spins on my Coin Master. I'm thinking on going on a Pokemon walk later. Maybe fight some gyms."

Ico does smile and wave to Cole as well, probably at least met when moving in. "Hey, how goes?" Is asked to him as well. Making himself comfortable on his bed. Grinning at Lyric as well. "Well then, just keep spinning." He suggests. Probably having tried it per her recommendation. "Oh? I'd be happy to join. Haven't done might figting, but amusing to wander about and hatch eggs." He says and grin wide. Taking out his phone as well to play about some with it. Not quite able to see what Cole shows Lyric, be he does look in his direction. "What have you both been up to today?"

Cole is beruffled and doesn't seem to mind. He cranes his neck a little bit to see the number of spins and nods his head, giving her a thumbs up. Doesn't matter if he cares or not -- it's important to her, and thus worthy of acknowledgement. "I got that new Harry Potter pokemon thing," Cole says, poking it on his phone and bringing it up. "I keep running out of energy though." He glances back toward Ico and says, "Running, work, unpacking a little bit. You?"

"I can download it and send you some if that would help?" Lyric starts typing some things into her phone, the App store. "You know, Cole, if you get bored in there all alone you can bring your bed in here too and we'll put all the dressers in your room. It's far more fun having people to talk to. I know you like your privacy though." A smile over to Ico, "I hope Park gets to start moving in today. If her folks let her."

Ico ahs, "I should check that out. Have tried the others. Dinos and also the one before pokemon thingie. Was also interesting." He offers. Moving to sit up some. "Running, writing, so on. Work later." A smile to Lyric, "Up to you." He offers but now sitting properly to talk to them, but on his bed. Nodding agreeingly with Lyric. "Indeed, you're free to join if you want." As for Park, he sighs. "They probably don't. But she is staying alone at the moment, near school. They might think she is still there?" He suggests, shrugging some though. "Hope things go well though. And then we can get around to playing some." Itchy fingers, it seems.

"Nah," Cole says to Lyric. "I'd feel weird encroaching on your band space. Besides, it'd throw off the whole feng shui balance of the two guys, two girls, thing you've got going on in here." He grins a bit, "Though if you want to store anything in my room, you can. I feel kind of weird having one to myself with all of you guys tucked away in here." He does pay a proportional amount of rent, though, for that room, to make up for it. He grins, "I still have to meet Park."

"I am ready too. I was playing Cake by the Ocean the other day at the beach. It was fun." Lyric gives a hesitant nod about Park but says little more about the absent band member. Smiling to Cole she shrugs. "It might be more fun but I bet you're used to not having to share. Don't feel weird about it, I'm happy sharing a room. Don't know why we didn't think of it before back at the trailer. It's less lonely."

Ico grins, "You could be our chef if you prefer." He teases. Clearly a joke. "But honestly, you are fine." He assures him. Grinning towards Lyric about the music. Though a bit curious as she seem hesitant. "Well, hindsight is 20-20. Got some roommates now." He suggests to Lyric. "Oh, right. I missed out on amateur night. How did that go? I had to help my folks." He admits, looking a bit sad that he missed it.

Cole laughs a little at that and says, "Did Lyric tell you what happened at the one cooking class we went to together? You may not want me to be your chef." He glances over at her to see if she'd told her bandmates about the little cooking class accident. "You also do not want me to be your knife juggler." He then grins and says, "I am kind of used to not having to share, but that doesn't mean that I can't share."

Lyric blushes at the mention of the cooking class. "He cut himself so bad. I don't think he should touch knives at all. We did manage a pretty good chicken marinara." She nods to Cole. "You don't have to share it'll be good." Her phone is placed down on her pillow. "I danced for the first time on amateur night, but I kept my clothes on mostly."

Ico chuckles and shakes his head, "She did not, but perhaps butler is more fitting then." He suggests and nods. Listening to Lyric explaning. "Careful, dude." He offers to Cole then. Nodding some to Lyric. "Damn, sucks to miss that." He offers with a wink.

"Parmasean," Cole says to Lyric with a grin, clearly having long recovered from the kitchen chicken trauma. He looks over to Ico and says "She only lets me use plasticware now," clearly teasing. He then looks over to Lyric and says "Oh yeah? I didn't know there was an amateur night. I met one of the other dancers from the club, actually. Zoiya? I'm going to be giving her some ballet lessons." He smirks and says, "Yeah, not so much the butler type. I do not.. buttle."

"Oh oops. Yeah that's what it was. I didn't remember." Lyric doesn't mind being wrong, it amuses her and she grins at Cole. "It was still good." She brightens at the mention of the dancer. "You met Mae? Isn't she so graceful and so beautiful? If you teach her how do ballet then she'll be even better. I really like watching her dance, it's art. Like when you dance." Peering over at Ico. "There will be another amateur night. You can dance that night."

Ico ahs about Cole meeting Zoiya. "Ah, right. Think Lyric mentioned you dancing. That's awesome." Enjoying dancing himself as well. "Always welcome to be in a music video if you want." He offers and smiles. "Indeed, Mae is quite amazing." Nodding agreeingly. As for another amateur night, he nods. "I might. Should be fun. Either of you going to dance then as well?"

Cole nods and says, "Yeah, she's really nice. We chatted for a while." He then nods to Ico and says, "I'm a ballet dancer, well, a teacher more now." But he was a professional dancer before. Though when asked if either of them is going to dance, he laughs and shakes his head, suddenly seeming a little self-conscious, "No, not me."

"The only reason I danced before is because Antonio needed someone to break the ice. But by the time I was going up someone else volunteered. I think she's a dancer there now. I'm still a DJ. That tells you how much better she did than me." Lyric grins. "You both should dance up there. It would be interesting. Not at the same time though." A look to Cole. "Why not?"

Ico ahs and nods. "Awesome." He offers and seems quite interested in the dancing. Though he does turn towards Lyric as well. "Still, I am sure you were quite good." He offers and smiles, nodding some about them dancing. "I might. I do need to get used to it anyhow." Need to get used to being on scene that is. As for Cole, he does look between them, letting Cole answer.

Cole is usually confident, and calm, and easygoing, but now he looks a bit uncomfortable, tugging idly at the sleeves of his long-sleeved t-shirt slightly. In all the time that they've lived together at the trailer, she's never seen him without a shirt on, or long pants for that matter. He even sleeps in pajama pants and a long-sleeved t-shirt most of the time. Very rarely he will wear short sleeves. "I.. have a lot of scars," he admits, "From the accident." The one that quickly ended his ballet career.

Lyric reaches for her phone and goes to videos. Once it's playing she hands it over. (You can read it in the log if you like). "There it is. I wouldn't say I was good, but I had fun." Leaving it to him to watch. While Ico does that she focuses on Cole. "Do you? I.. guess I never thought about it. I'm sure it bothers you more than it would bother anyone else. People always say chicks dig scars."

Ico ahs and nods, "I see. Well, some could be hot." He offers along with Lyric, but will let it be if Cole seem too uncomfortable. Taking the phone and checking it out. Letting the two talk some, as they know one another better than he knows Cole. Grinning a bit before sending the phone back to her after the video. "See? You looked good up there. Especially as a first time." He offers to her. "And I do think you'll end up being the face of the band. I mean, you will be in the front with your guitar." He suggests at the tease. Then turning some attention to Cole. "And I am sure it will be fine." He offers again. Not sure what to add at the moment.

"Well there's my problem," Cole says with a little wry smile over at Lyric, "Clearly, I picked the wrong sexual preference." He's kidding, maintaining his good humor despite his discomfort. "They're ugly, and at least with ballet, I'm covered up when I dance, so it's not obvious. I'm still recovering from it. The idea of taking off my clothes in front of people?" He shakes his head. Nope. "Nobody wants to see that." He then grins as Ico watches Lyric's video. He hasn't seen it, but he says to her, "I'm sure you did great."

"Thanks." Taking her phone back, Lyric smiles at Ico. "Or maybe Park will? Or you. Maybe we all will, no one is better than anyone else." Sitting up, she looks at Cole with a tilted head. "You prefer guys?" She remembers suspecting that before but not being one hundred percent on it. Offering Cole her phone now she shrugs. "You can watch too if you want to." A smile given between the two.

Ico grins at Cole. "Well, I am pretty sure dudes do as well. Some at least." He offers and grins at him. Even offering a teasing wink. Gesturing for Lyric to let Cole check out the video as well. Since his reply did imply that he hadn't seen it. "Well, start small, show us some leg." He offers lightheartedly. "Well, I am in the back." He points out to Lyric. "It might be you or Park. Could be Scott, but not sure if he enjoy that." He offers and shrugs. Starting to rummage under his pillow then, to produce a notepad. Starting to write in it.

Cole takes the phone from Lyric and clicks on the video to watch it, "Yeah. I thought we kind of talked about that when I first moved in -- about me not having a boyfriend at the time." He watches her performance and grins, "Hey, not bad. I mean, from my limited experience. I don't really go to strip clubs. But you look like you were at least having fun?" He then hands the phone back over to her. He chuckles at Ico's teasing wink and shakes his head. He reaches down and tugs on his jeans and flashes Ico a bit of ankle. There's no scars there, however. "There you go. Very scandalously Victorian."

"Well yeah to be fair I said girlfriend or boyfriend and you said no boyfriend. Which left girlfriend, so I wasn't sure." Lyric grins, taking it all in stride. "I did have fun that's true. But taking my clothes off in a club isn't my thing really. Here? Maybe. But I feel like I know everyone well enough no one would even care." Grinning at the two guys, she nods her approval. "What song are you working on Ice?"

Ico chuckles as Cole flashes some ankle. Before starting to focus on the bad some. Glancing to Lyric. "Well, that is admittedly way more comfortable." He agrees. As she looks over she would probably recognize the look by now, as he is trying to find inspiration or guiding. Shaking his head some. "You got me wanting to figure out a song we could play at Platinum." Trying to think of something. Sighing though. "Not quite able to figure it out. Heavier bass and stronger but slower drum." Seems to be as far as he has gotten. Looking to her again.

"Yeah, I suppose that makes sense," Cole says, not having thought about it that way at the time, and conceding the point to Lyric. He slowly pulls himself up to his feet then and says, "I'll let you guys figure out the song stuff. I'm going to go finish up a bit more unpacking and then crash, I think." He grins at both of them, then, and says, "Have a good one. If you can't be good, at least be good at it." And with that, he slips back out the door toward his own room.

Lyric waves goodnight to Cole then lays her head down on her pillow with her phone beside her on the bed. She feels his gaze on her and smiles a little. "You heard the boss. Has to have something with ass in it if you want him to accept it."

Ico does look a bit guilty as Cole leaves. "Ah, oki. See you later. Goodnight." Turning to Lyric. "Sorry, I didn't send him off did I?" Pulling out the notepad isn't always appreciated, he just forget himself sometimes. Nodding. "Well, that should be fine. I hope. Just want something even the dancer's could use." He says, sighing. Laying down as well. Though still looking her way. "Help me?" He asks her. Though he might be staring a little as well.

"I don't think so? He's a grown up, you're a grown up, we can all be ourselves. Everything is good." Lacing her fingers together under her chin, she looks over at him and smiles. "I can help you. You know I always will. What is it you need?"

Ico smiles at her and leans to kiss the top of her head. "Thanks." He offers. "Got this for the melody so far." Starting to hum to give her an idea, while drumming some on the edge of the bed. Coming to the bridge and chorus, which seem to be what he has written lyric for. "Feel the heat. Take a look and let your mind go. Sway. Move. Let me feel your beat." He offers, with the drum hits trying to fit in with the words. Smiling over at her. "My muse." He adds to her. A bright smile. Sighing though. "But something still doesn't quite feel right." Letting her offer input.

Lyric sways a little to the music then the words as he sings them and then she hums along. Breathe it in. Deep inside and never let it go. Give. Me. Your body over and over again." It's not really good, she knows it, but it was off the cuff. Maybe a couple of words he could work with in there. She smiles at him when he calls her his muse but says nothing after the lyrics.

Ico does work with some of it. "Show me what is hiding inside." He offers in almost a whisper. "Thank you." Leaning over to kiss her cheek. The melody a bit better, having watched her movement, changing it to fit in with the timing of her moves.

"I like that better." Lyric confesses and smiles her approval. She offers her cheek when she sees him coming in for it. "You're such a good writer. I can't wait to read some Scott's too, see how you both do. Do you have any more on it?"

Ico does smile and nod in return. "Agreed." Maybe a hint of a blush at the compliment. "I am sure you tell everyone that." He offers playfully. "I am sure we will. He can be good as well." As for more of the song, he nods a little going over some of the verse. At least how he want it to flow. Perhaps the tempo a bit similar to 'Closer' by Nine inch nails, but with the sounds being more jazz, funk, rnb. "I feel my mind is racing. I feel my body aching." He offers. After which he does rise to give her a sneak peek of how one could dance and move to it.

Lyric watches him as he dances and gets into the song, enjoying the lyrics as he throws them out. While remaining seated, she sways a little, just getting into it as he contiues.

Ico is doing regular dance moves to stsrt. Before doing some more sensual. "Help me." Offered in an almost sultry whispered yell. "Let me get my release." Trying that last line out, which might be clonky. For now rolling with it, letting Lyric judge. Saying it while sliding down to his knees, rolling his hips before sliding forward in a b-boy move, to grab the top bunk of Lyric's bed. "This thoughts can be quite insane. Won't you be my little demon?" Offered as he almost straddles her, but not quite. Pushing off to jump back to the floor. "Release me." Hands on the floor as he landed on all four after the jump. Moving towards her again. Perhaps giving her a moment to offer input.

"Oh." Lyrics mouth makes a round O when his lyrics get all sultry and sexified and his dance moves match. Since she's sitting on the edge of the bed she watches his approach and when he almost straddles her. The words worked, but now she damn well wanted to hear the rest. "Keep on." she tells him, encouraging.

There is a grin as he hear her words. "I'll let in my darkness. Watch my silhuette move." Sang while moving on his knees until hands end up on each side of her. Leaning close as he sings of his silhuette. "I want a little danger." He continues as he lands on the edge with his knees. "Can you hear it in my voice?" Asked in a whisper right next to her ear, knees on each side of her, rolling his hips toward her to match his song.

This was as intimate as the lap dances the dancers gave at the club! Lyric really likes watching though, and the way he sings as he dances. As he moves in closer and she feels his breath by her ear she shivers, closing her eyes as she listens. The lyrics have captured her for certain, and his dance moves weren't ignored.

Ico slides off and brushes her legs. "Let me show you all I've got." Offered as he shows his abs before leting it fall back to cover himself. "Will you join me in my endeavors?" Asked as his hands land on her knees pushing them apart and winking to her. "Come into my world." If able to rising some to out his hands on the sides of her head, against the wall. Winking.

Lyric opens her eyes again when he's not whispering in her ear again and she watches his dance moves, eyes dropping to his abs when he exposes them. "Aww." When he covers them. Then he's pushing her legs apart and she looks at him with slightly wide eyes.

Shifting again, Ico isn't touching her but moving close. "Don't fight it. You know you like it." Comes the continuing song. Shirt tossed aside now aslean back. Standing on his knees on the floor. Hands behind himself to keep him up as he rock his hips some. Staying between her legs on the floor. "Oh!" He let out, stopping briefly, rising some but still on his knees. "Come and join the show." He offers as he ends it with him falling forward to drape his bare upper body on her legs and against her stomach. "How was that? I know, didn't get to pants and such. But figured it would work with the different sets " He says but does look up at her from where his body is. Trying to see her reaction.

There was a whole no touch rule when it came to the dancers. Lyric was well aware of that rule. But she watches him dance and allows herself to be somewhat seduced by the lyrics he sings while dancing. As soon as his shirt comes off, she breaks a rule and her hand splays over his abs as removes his shirt. "I think you already know how to dance. You're amazing at it. And those lyrics are so perfect."
