Rules of the Choir that all Angels are to follow:
1. No hitting, punching, attacking, or casting magic on each other.
2. No insulting each other.
3. Talk in a language everyone can understand. (That means you Rikku!)
4. Listen to the instructors. (Elza and Nuie)
5. Everyone participate. (This means you two, Rowan and Auron!)
--
"Rowan, get in here! Remember rule 5!" Elza yells at her young 13 year old angel son, pointing at the paper with the rules on it thats taped to the wall by the door to the room there in.
"Not like it matters," Rowan says coming into the big room, his arms crossed. "Aunt NuEvil isn't even here yet."
"That doesn't matter! You still need to be in here, Rikku is!" Elza says pointing at her Hyperactive 8 year old daughter bouncing around the room, yelling happily about 'singin' in the choir! Sing, sing, sing!'.
"Thats because she's an annoy..." Rowan starts before Elza interrupts him.
"Ah, Ah, Ah! Rule Number 2!" She says waving her finger at him.
Rowan sighs and leans up against the nearest wall, trying to pretend he wasn't there.
"Whens Auntie Nuie coming?!" Rikku asks Elza after bouncing up to her.
"Not sure sweetie, but it can't be much longer." Elza tells Rikku.

"I'm here," Althea says as she walks into the newly created choir room. "Auron, my boy, come on...get in here now."
Auron slowly enters the room, unsure of what to expect. "I am Mom," he tells her.
Seeing his "friends," Auron heads over to sit by Rowen, pausing to give Rikku a friendly punch on the arm.
"Auron, remember the rules," Althea says. "Do I need to go over them again?"
"No," Auron says. "Hey Rowen. See your mom's making you sing too."

"Yeah," Rowan says as Auron sits next to him, "I don't get why I have to though...I mean, Rikku is the one who's into all this stuff." He says with a shrug.
"Its because your the only Soprano, Hunny" Elza tells him before running over to Althea and hugging her.
"Auntie Nuie! Auntie Nuie!!" Rikku yells also running over and hugging Althea.
"We ready?" Elza asks everyone, "You have the songs right Althea?"
"READY!!!!!!" Rikku yells, running over to the boys and grabbing Auron's hand, dragging him over to the stage, Rowan following with a sigh.

Hugging Rikku back, Althea says, "Hi Rikku. Excited about choir are you?"
Turning to Elza, after Rikku has run over to the boys, she says, "Here's the music," as she shows Elza a stack of papers.
She hands a copy to Elza and then gives Rowen, Rikku and Auron each their own copies. She puts the rest of the stack on a nearby table in case anyone else wishes to join.
"Okay everyone. Tomorrow is Easter, and we need to be able to perform this for all our friends, so let's get started. This is an easy song, and you'll be able to learn it quickly."
With a combination of excitement and groaning, the kids look at the music.
"You've GOT to be kidding, right, MOM?" whines Auron.
Althea sits at the piano and starts to play the melody.
"Nope. Not kidding, kiddo. And remember the rules...no whining."

Story--Of--The--Soul Captain

Posted: Sun Mar 23, 2008 7:16 pm
Mossy was shoved in the general direction of the music room, Story following close in his footsteps. Story finally shoved him through the doorway, closing it behind her to trap Mossy inside.
"I thought you guys could use another deep voice in here," Story said, grinning.
"I will kill you in your sleep, Story!" Mossy shouted, trying to make a break for it.
Story pulled out a needle and put a mild sedative into Mossy's system. Mossy sat on the ground like a small, confused child. "Much better. Now then...?"

"Hi Story," Althea says as Story pushes Mossy into the choir room. She watches, rather surprised, as Story proceeds to sedate Mossy.
As Mossy sits on the floor, Althea gets up from the piano, and squats down in front of Mossy. "Welcome to Choir, Mossy. So glad you can join us."
Helping Mossy up from the floor, she leads him to where the other "kids" are standing. She goes over the stack of music, grabs one and brings it to Mossy.
"Here you go, Mossy," Althea says. "It's an easy song. Your should pick it up quickly. I know Rowen, Auron and Rikku has."
Going back over to the piano, Althea sits down and starts playing.
"Okay, let's take it from the top. Boys, help Mossy out."
"Yes Mom," sighs Auron.
"Ready? One, two, breathe, and..."
And choir starts the song. They go through the song a few more times.
"Mossy, you're doing so good," Althea praises the "mellow" Mossy. "Kids, you can take a break and we'll perform for everyone in a little while. Just remember, when you sing...smile."

The 'kids' quickly split up, Rikku following Auron, babbling in Al'Bhed as she does.
"Rikku, Rule 3!" Elza calls out, causing said Al'Bhed Angel to sigh, before going back to what she was doing, but babbling in English this time.
Rowan, walks back over to the now closed doors and leans against the wall again, trying to pretend he wasn't here...and the only soprano...
After a few minutes of Elza and Althea going over the plans for the choir, and bathroom, snack and water trips for the 'kids' Elza turns back to the angels with a grin.
"Alright Children...And Mossy...Back on stage, its time to sing!" She calls Rikku jumping and yelling for joy, and dragging Auron to the stage again.
Once everyone was assembled, Elza looks to Althea, who is once again at the Piano, and nods at Althea to start playing.
"Ok everyone, Big Smiles, and sing loud!" She says, and all the 'kids' start singing.
"Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Hippity, hoppity,
Easter's on its way.
Bringing' every girl and boy
Baskets full of Easter joy,
Things to make your Easter bright and gay."
Rikku steps up as everyone else quiets down, and she starts singing her Solo, the worlds biggest grin on her face,
"He's got jellybeans for Rowan,
Colored eggs for Auron too,
There's an orchid for my Mommy
And an Easter bonnet, too. FOR ME!!!"
Elza starts giggling at Rikku's 'improvments' on the song, looking over a Althea with a look that said, 'She never did that in the practice!'
all the 'kids' start singing again as Rikku steps back into place.
"Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppity,
Happy Easter day.
Here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Look at him stop, and listen to him say:
"Try to do the things you should."
Maybe if you're extra good,
He'll roll lots of Easter eggs your way.
You'll wake up on Easter morning
And you'll know that he was there
When you find those chocolate bunnies
That he's hiding everywhere.
Oh! here comes Peter Cottontail,
Hopping' down the bunny trail,
Hippity hoppity,
Happy Easter day."

The sedatives had effectively worn off after the end of the song. Mossy walked to the back of the stage and started banging his head on the back wall. He was soooo much older than everyone else here... This was absolutely humiliating. If he wasn't sure someone would notice and start calling him a bad influence, he would've started swearing.
Mossy shouted something along the lines of 'Stop being so excited' in Al Bhed as he crossed the room to the piano. "Why do I have to be involved in all of this merriment?" he groaned at Althea.

Giving Mossy a big smile, Althea replies, "Because Story drugged you and Elza said so. Sorry."
Standing up from the piano, Althea places a hand on his arm (at least I think he has an arm since I've NEVER seen a picture of him and I'm winging it here), "However, I do appreciate that you did join in and help the others."
She cocks her head to the right, "You know, you really DO have a wonderful singing voice."
She then hands him a piece of paper, "Here," Athea tells him, "this will get you a free (non-alcoholic) drink of your choice at the nearest diner."

"You stop being a boring meanie!" Rikku responds to Mossy, sticking her tongue out at him.
Elza grins and walks over to her little daughter, "You know," She whispers to her "Hugging works MUCH better with him." She tells her.
"Kinda like Rowan?" Rikku asks Elza, Rowan scowling at the two.
"Better!" Elza says and both her and Rikku run over and hugs the humiliated older Angel.

Mossy cringed violently. "Must it be non-alcoholic?" he whined. Story walked by, hitting him lightly on the head.
"Yes, especially since you get to be around loving, huggy children," she said, grinning darkly. She had been taking pictures the whole time, and had every intention of using them as blackmail if he didn't behave.
[Yeah, yeah, I know he doesn't have a picture. He has arms, he has wings, and he actually used to be a Soprano. He's wearing a cut-off shirt over a mesh shirt, and his pants are half-tucked into armored boots. Good enough for now?]

Thanks for the description of Mossy...it helps to know he has arms...however, just so you know, I do soooooo much better with a visual aid. smile
Oh...and I'd like to order a copy of those photos please. Must put them in the Symphonic Wings Choir Photo Album (which is available for all parents to buy, whether their kid is in the choir or not, for the low, low cost of 19.99 plus shipping and handling. But wait! If you order in the next 10 minutes, we'll double your order...that's 2 photos albums for the same low price, plus shipping and handling. But wait (again)! If you order NOW, we'll throw in a video of the last concert, "Easter in the Guild," for absolutely FREE!! Allyou pay is shipping and handling!)
"And Mossy," Althea says, "yes, it must be non-alcoholic. This is a children's choir you know."

Yeah, yeah, I'm working on it. ....Wait, did Elza just give me more work?! Or is this a hypothetical photo album?!
Mossy groaned loudly. "Fine, then I'm leaving now," he grumbled, heading for the door. Unfortunately for him, Story was blocking it, holding a bat in her hands. Mossy turned around, putting on an extremely fake smile. "it looks like I'm not leaving!" he exclaimed bitterly.
