We're gonna rock out with our--

WHO: Everyone!
TONE: Light
RATING: PG13
WHEN: July 12th - 15th
WHERE: The Music Festival in Aberdeenshire
WHAT: Muuusic!
STATUS: Ongoing!
-
Ah, the sound of music. It's not always a pretty sound- definitely not. While there are plenty of good bands at the festival, there are also plenty of pretty awful ones trying to make it big. But that's okay, because it's still a good time! Look at all of those stages, look at all that festival food. Four days of music, fun and awesomeness! So walk around, enjoy the music, maybe enter the singing competition they have each day.

But wait! Even if you aren't musically inclined, guess what? Shortly after arriving, you begin to feel the sudden urge to sing, too, even if you might sound like a dying whale. Eventually the urge is going to get so great that you just have to break out into song. Or you might just sing randomly throughout the day, if you give into the feelings. It really depends on your willpower! Either way, you will sing. It looks like all the spells used to make this happen have had unintended side-effects.

That won't stop you from having fun though, right?

[Music festivals aren't really Murdoc's place of worship. Really, a festival is the last place the man wants to be. He's the opposite of festive, but there's some sort of to-do about the whole thing and he's managed to find his way there anyway.

It's funny, all of these degenerate hippies with filthy hair remind him of a simpler time. A time when he thought greasing his hair and strumming a guitar would surely win him the hearts of any attractive bypassers. So young. So stupid. So devilishly handsome. Some things never change.

In any case, he finds himself immersed enough in the festival to hum to himself as he wanders about the sidelines. If you bump into him, you may be greeted with a song. For now? He's just muttering sea shanties to himself.]

[Honestly, Bro is pretty damn surprised that Murdoc is here at all. It just doesn't seem like his particular cup of tea- not that he isn't thrilled. It's nice that they can share something that Bro enjoys so much. Unfortunately though, they got separated pretty early on. It's Bro's fault though- shiny things are distracting. BUT thankfully he's pulled himself out of it and has went off in search of his Murman.

His arms are full of shitty festival souvenirs and tshirts when he does find Murdoc, and he casually bumps into him from behind to get his attention.]


Don't think I didn't hear that.
wwistful: (Hwuh!)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-07-14 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Don't think he's here for you, Bro. He has other perfectly sound reasons to be here, he just can't think of any presently. The experience is considerably more dull without Dirk, so the rage he feels when he's bumped into subsides almost instantly after he hears that it's Bro.

Don't think he isn't giving the shirts a suspicious look- but greeting Bro takes precedence currently. He turns with a surprised sort of look, fumbling for something to say before stuttering out a response.]


I got chills.... [Wow...that is not what he meant to say, let him just correct himself. In a more powerful singing voice.] ...They're multiplying. [He looks sort of perplexed with himself.]
plushaeusrumpified: (pic#6288088)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-07-14 01:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's totally here for Bro! He does a lot of stupid shit for Bro. It's because he lahvs him.

And stop giving his shirts suspicious looks. At least they're not dresses with faces on them! They might just be shirts with faces on them. Or cheesy song lyrics, or something. Mostly they're just dumb band tshirts bought for irony.

Bro was... not expecting that in response though. His first thought is 'here, wear one of these awesome shirts if you're cold', but then he continues. He... is not currently getting this right now. He's giving him the most confused stare, before it finally hits him.]


Oh my god, are you serenading me? Fucking swoon.
wwistful: (troll1)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-07-17 12:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[And in turn, Bro does a lot of stupid shit in general that he makes up for in loving gestures. He's not sure if he regrets leaving Napoleon at home, but he's become rather attached to their symbolic dog.

No matter what's printed on them, Murdoc is positive the shirts are hideous but they're probably much more comfortable than his stuffy outfits. He certainly doesn't have chills, but that doesn't mean he doesn't feel incredibly odd as he proceeds with the words.]


No- [Yes- a word he meant to say.] And- No. I'm- NO. Loooosing control. [He gives Bro a bit of a desperate look.] 'Cause the power you're supplyin'... S'electrifyin'.
plushaeusrumpified: (we like to dance but the dead go faster)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-07-31 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Let's be real, anything Bro wears is more comfortable than the stuffy outfits Murdoc wears. Really, Bro thinks Murdoc could do to wear more of his clothes- but that's neither here nor there right now, as he should definitely be focusing on what's happening in front of him. He's confused, and yet somehow oddly aroused- then again, when isn't he oddly aroused?]

I dunno what's come over you, but I ain't complaining. [He gives Murdoc a bit of a grin.] Is there more where that came from?
wwistful: (Good soup)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-08-02 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Murdoc does look pretty stuffy right now, to be honest. He tried to dress down, but he's not really good at it. He's not sure he wants one of those shirts, but if Bro offers he'll consider it.

Murdoc fidgets, stifling anymore of the lyrics from coming out. Though Bro's grin has him sputtering a little as he struggles not to sing at him.]


The show's over. [FROWN.]
plushaeusrumpified: (I say it's up to fate)

[personal profile] plushaeusrumpified 2013-08-03 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
[If it looks like Murdoc is suffering too much, he'll definitely offer one of the shirts. But until then, he'll just focus on the fact that he's being serenaded- or rather, the he WAS being serenaded.

His face kind of falls and he frowns too, pouting slightly.]


Already? Come on, how about a little incentive? [Come on, come on... Lyrics...C'mon, he knows this.]

Somethin' something, uh...shape up, 'cuz you're the only one, and my heart's set on you...?
wwistful: (C'mere)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-08-15 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
[If Bro were paying any attention he'd know that Murdoc is already suffering from severe embarrassment. The pout only flusters him further, but the offer for incentive is intriguing...

Until it makes him madder. He frowns, giving Bro a soft, indignant shove with one hand.]


No, no, no. You've got it all wrong!

[This place is really too loud for him, but he's managing to have fun regardless. Though his father and brother are around somewhere, he's wandered off by himself, and who should he run into (quite literally, as he crashes into his side while he's not looking where he's going) but Murdoc.

He springs back as if burned and loses his balance completely as his heel catches on a tuft of grass. Mituna hits the ground with a muffled grunt and winces, hissing out a string of vitriolic curses before looking up.
]

... Hi profethor.
wwistful: (troll23)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-07-17 12:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Murdoc isn't silly enough to assume he won't bump into at least one of his students at the festival, but he hasn't at all expected it to be quite so literal. Nor had he really ever expected to see Mituna of all people here.

He turns quite quickly, giving him a bewildered look before holding out a hand on the offchance he actually wants to take it.]


Hello. [He finds it strange that he needs to force himself to say that without singing it- oh hell he can feel more of it welling up.] I-is it... Me you're looking for? [Why the fuck is this happening.]
helmetdoesnothing: (45 - Human ♊ Feeling all the bumpers)

[personal profile] helmetdoesnothing 2013-07-20 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[It wouldn't normally be Mituna's kind of scene, but his brother wanted to come, so his father had to, and Mituna couldn't be left home by himself. He hadn't been having too much trouble so far, with a spell to help lower the noise levels, and he'd been keeping himself away from large crowds.

Bumping into a teacher had been the last thing he'd expected, but especially this one. He hesitates, but takes the offered hand and pulls himself up.
]

Um. [Why does that line sound so familiar...] N.. no, thir. Have you theen my dad?
wwistful: (troll9)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-07-21 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[So that makes two people who are clearly out of place amongst the crowd. Fantastic. Solidarity in not fitting in with hip music lovers. Admittedly, Murdoc has no complaints about the fact that he hasn't seen Mituna's father, but it is worrying.

He gives his shoulder a friendly pat, as if to discreetly brush him off before he attempts the next sentence.]


I've...not seen him. No. [He flinches a bit before hissing out:] I can see it in your eyes. I can. See it in your- HONESTLY, what on earth is going on here?
helmetdoesnothing: (48 - Human ♊ The digit counters fall)

[personal profile] helmetdoesnothing 2013-07-23 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's around somewhere - Mituna's father, that is - and Mituna is certainly old enough to manage being by himself for a short amount of time. If he couldn't, he would have never been allowed to wander off at all.

Murdoc gets a puzzled look. Even he can tell there's something not quite right here.
]

I don't know... [But you're acting really weird, sir.] Are you ok?
wwistful: (Stahp)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-07-28 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Something is terribly wrong here, Murdoc looks both horribly uncomfortable and terribly concerned. He's worked himself up into quite a flustered state and it's made refraining from singing an even less likely outcome.

As such, he's going to continue to fumble along for the rest of the lyrics.]


You're all I ever wanted and my arms are. Open wide? [Nope, they're folded over his chest as he backs away.]
helmetdoesnothing: (45 - Human ♊ Feeling all the bumpers)

[personal profile] helmetdoesnothing 2013-07-29 03:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He's just going to... step back a little now, too. Murdoc's not the only one who's uncomfortable here, though Mituna's finding some amusement in the fact that it looks like someone's put a hex on the professor. He grins uncertainly.]

Didn't know you were a fan of Muggle muthic, thir, but thith might not be appropriate.
wwistful: (shut your whore mouth)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-08-02 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Murdoc is going to hold his arms over his chest as if to restrain himself from any further rambunctious dancing. His foot, however, is tapping erratically.]

I'm not. [His answer is cold and curt.] And I'm aware. There seems to be.. somethin' in the air.

[Dirk doesn't actually bump into Murdoc in the crowd, fortunately for them both. Actually, he sees Murdoc from behind, along the side of the crowd, and actually bothers to approach. He's not tired of the crowds quite yet, but he's getting there, and it'd be better seeing a familiar face for a little while.]

'Sup, Mr. Ampora.
wwistful: (Oh awkward)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-07-22 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[Murdoc has spent the past hour or so looking for his god damn stupid boyfriend, so his reaction to hearing Dirk's voice is near instantaneous.

On the plus side, Dirk can be proud that his voice has reached the same timbre as his father's. On the downside, he's being pulled into a tango-esque pose by the older man who really needs to look before he grabs.]

Summer lovin'. [He answers plainly....before realising who he has in his hands and dropping the boy instantly.] ..Happened so fast.
toocoolforthis: (FML)

[personal profile] toocoolforthis 2013-07-23 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[He thought the "Mister Ampora" part would make it obvious. Apparently not. He's too bewildered to protest at first, but as soon as Murdoc lets him go, he takes a few steps back. He's also losing his desperate fight not to blush.]

This a bad time?
wwistful: (I...what)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-07-28 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Murdoc is just going to take a few good steps backward. Dirk, really, as if any name for Murdoc hasn't been tainted by Bro in some manner! Nothing is sacred in this family, nothing.]

Y...essssss. [Which is probably indicated by the fact that he sang that.] Don't tell me I'm the only one who feels peculiar today.
toocoolforthis: (pic#5771903)

[personal profile] toocoolforthis 2013-07-29 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that's the reason he didn't go with Professor. Because he figured that would be the one more likely to be tainted outside of school. Or inside of it, really.

Things that Dirk doesn't want to notice, but has anyway: Professor Ampora's singing voice.]


Impromptu concerts seem all the rage today. So I guess the answer is no.
wwistful: (Hwuh!)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-08-02 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Murdoc fails to feel sorry for Dirk because he's too busy feeling sorry for himself. How will he ever command the respect of the brood now? Who knows.]

It seems fittin' enough for a music festival. [He manages to keep his voice flat.] You won't... tell your father about that? Will you? [He'll never live it down.]
toocoolforthis: (pic#5580142)

[personal profile] toocoolforthis 2013-08-02 03:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's a question to be pondered alongside "did he ever command them in the first place?" Although Dirk does certainly respect him as a wizard. Just... less and less as a potential father figure.]

If I run into Bro, I'll let him know you're looking for him. Like hell I'd tell him about that.

[Bro would probably laugh his ass off at their misfortune.]
wwistful: (snoots)

[personal profile] wwistful 2013-08-15 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
I can never be too sure with Striders. [There's as much bitterness as there is condescension in his tone. As if he's laying the blame for the situation on Dirk in the most subtle nuances.]

You've no obligation to linger, you know. [He shoos at him with his hands.] Go play. Or whatever it is you're meant to do at festivals, at the very least. [Murdoc looks like he knows that.]
