[Scribblegroove 565]

Scribblegrooves jaw dropped again. He voice was so de deep and yet so clear. It was like the perfect combination between opera and pop. Then he got an idea. Her voice was near hypnotising. The soundwaves on the monitor where even beautiful for bucks sake! He stomped his hooves on the floor as an applause.

 

"Bravo, bravo, your voice is truly amazing! My humble tenor voice can't possibly match it!" He said as she finished her song. He turned down the gate and replayed it immediately for her. "Just hear that! It's amazing... The mic is really good! And as I said so is your voice!" He wondered how she could've thaught her to sing like that herself.

"Awesome!" Amber was attempting to keep some sense of composure, but her inner music freak was ecstatic at the opportunity to share and listen to new material. She levitated the punch over from Rhythm and was quickly reminded of the headache. Magic didn't exactly do it any favors. After giving her horn a couple of rubs she was good to go again.

 

"Alright Flash," She threw a foreleg around him, pulling him a bit closer. "You've kept us waiting long enough. Let's hear what ya got."

Flash's face turned red and he looked away, smiling. "O-Okay..." he said quietly as he levitated his stuff over to himself. He placed his laptop, well... in his lap, and plugged in his headphones before opening up a song. He figured he'd play his second entry in he didn't make it on. "Okay... umm..... I guess I should just... play it..." Flash let out a nervous chuckle before he pressed the space bar on his keyboard and the song began to play. As he did this his horn lit up and the room filled with the music despite him having his headphones plugged in. Flash now seemed to be much calmer sense the music was drowning out his thoughts as he tweaked the mixing ever so slightly. (Link: https://soundcloud.com/bubblyplanet/nebula-garden-full ) Once the song had finished Flash took off his headphones and looked at the two. "So........"

Diamond smiled, blushing a bit at his many compliments. "Thank you, Scribblegroove. You're very kind." She said, stepping out of the mic room, her ears flicking a bit at the recording. "Oooh I hit a flat there..." She mumbled, almost wincing at the sound. "Not my best of recording but...well there it is..." She said, chuckling.

Rhythm sipped her drink and listened quietly as Flash played his song. When it finished, she clapped her hooves together, using her magic to place her drink on the coffee table. "That was awesome, Flash." She said, smiling. "What inspired you to make that? Or did it just sorda come to you?" She asked.

Quite some time later, a mare had trotted nearby, over towards the host of the meet and greet, a small rhythm within her trots. Normally, this mare's ravishing forest green mane would be wild, uncouth, and for sure, messy. Though, this time it was amazingly in shape, not a single hair out of place. It almost resembled the mane that was trademarked by the classical gray mare, Octavia. Turth be told, she wasn't exactly wanting to emulate the same fashion, but it was in the sense of-- Okay, you get it, it's close.

 

"I'm sorry about that, Core... It's somewhat of a Pontera tradition for the band members to see who would have the most drinks of the night, and I had to down about three..." Accent Tap replied, shaking her head. "You know I would have left immediately, but they're having too much fun with a bunch of 12 packs on the balcony. How are the rest of the guests coming along?"

At that moment, another guest had came inside of the front room, a flashy pink pair of Trots by Dr. Bray accompanying her head. Though these were meant to cancel out noise, it seemed to bring in more noise than it intends, having her music blasted horribly loudly. It seemed to be some sort of loud DnB coming out from her phones, as she looked to the two hosts near her.

 

"HEY! I'M YOUR STAGE MANAGER, FLASHDANCE! FREAKIN' SWEET TO MEET BOTH OF YA! MAINLY YOU, DARK TAPS! YOU'RE BUCKIN' AWESOME OUT THERE!" She unintentionally yelled out to the two of them, a quick grin of pearly white teeth shot to them as she went towards the stairs, only a flash of the pink highlights in her blackened mane complimenting her purple coat.

“Aw yeah, that was awesome!” Amber exclaimed louder than she first intended while also pumping her hoof at the air. She couldn’t help but laugh at her own enthusiasm. “Man, you have some real talent there. Not that I expected any less obviously.” She rubbed the back of her head and looked off in some other direction. "So yeah, inspiration and all that stuff."

Flash winced at Amber's over enthusiasm and flattened his ears a bit so they wouldn't hurt too much. His face even turned a bright red from the compliments. He took a quick sip from the punch, which he had yet to touch, before he answered Rhythm's question. "No... it usually just comes to me. I'm not very good when I try to draw inspiration." he said before sipping his drink again and found himself longing for Amber to hold him tighter, which scared him a bit, but kept an even composition not wanting to make it seem like he was coming on to her.

Amber wasn’t completely oblivious to Flash’s discomfort. She took her hoof off him and made sure to keep some small distance. “Sorry, I’ll try and tone it down. I’m like this with most ponies.” Then again most ponies aren’t this sensitive. While the whole shy thing was adorable it did cause some difficulties. “Alright, moving onto our next competitor. Let’s see what you got, Rhythm.”

I-I don't really mind you being close... I actually.. liked it. you were just a little loud was all." Flash whispered to Amber as he hesitantly closed the small distance between them, pressing himself lightly against her side and enjoying the warmth.

It was comforting to see Flash come out of his shell, it had to be something in the punch. Throwing her arm back around Flash she let him have his way. How could she say no? "Daaw. Fine, have it your way. But leave the ears; they're sensitive." She laughed. By this stage she'd gotten used to this kind of thing; she'd done far worse after all. "Oh, is this quiet enough for you?" She mocked playfully, sticking out her tongue before turning back to Rhythm. "Ready when you are."

Above the outskirts of Neighssau...

 

"Come on, Crossfade, we're gonna be late!" The gray pegasus grinned behind his black shades, glancing back through locks of his silver and blue-streaked mane at the younger white pegasus filly behind him. She wasn't really paying attention to her brother, to be honest. In fact, she probably couldn't hear him over the sound of her music. The sight of her bobbing her head as she listened to her black and gold studio headphones was enough to make the colt roll his eyes. "Whatever, I'm not stopping you if you're flying into a tree!"

 

The filly blinked, noticing her brother's glare, grinning sheepishly as she shook the headphones off and let them fall around her neck. "Sorry Frosty, it's just that I've got some SICK ideas for the Bash!" The siblings were approaching the city at a fairly stable pace, regardless. Arctic Frost had nothing to fear regardless; he was always fashionably late. Was it truly 'fashionable?' Probably not, but at least it was to HIM. "I can take care of myself, shouldn't you be more concerned about the other two stooges being on time with our equipment?"

 

The colt shook his head and pointed at the black and ice blue guitar on his back, the smirk growing. "Nah, trust me, even if they run into some trouble, we've got it covered."

 

"What, just you playing and me singing? I don't think so." Crossfade couldn't help but laugh.

 

"Yeah, well..." The gray pegasus scratched his small silver beard in thought. "Maybe we could...dance?"

 

The filly gave a heavy sigh, rolling her eyes in unamusement and replacing her headphones. Her brother's ideas, despite being silly, were sometimes a bit out of place. The two arrived at the apartment base a few minutes later, working their way up to the penthouse. There was still no sign of the band's bassist and drummer, but they would likely be there shortly. Frost greeted Encore with a grin, nodding his sister inside. "Yeah, Spikes and Blaze are on their way here with our equipment. I'm not worried, they're always late." He chuckled to himself, glancing at his sister. "Why don't you go make some friends? Sounds like they've already started upstairs, maybe you'll meet some other DJs."

 

The filly's eyes lit up, squeeing and waving her hooves in the air as she bolted off upstairs. Frost trotted towards the center of the room, breathing in deeply and exhaling in relief. The aura of music here was...wonderful. He hoped that everypony was ready for their doctor's recommended dose of heavy metal.

Rhythm watched the too slowly, seeming to almost fall into a trance as they shuffled closer together...something about that...it...made her...angry? No no...upset...but a moment later she quickly snapped out of it and looked at Amber. "Wha? Oh...yeah...music..." She mumbled, pulling out her Ipony and scrolling through, still feeling...off.

After a moment she plugged her Ipod into her tiny headphones, which were surrounded in her magic, boosting the sound so it was a little louder. "This is one of my more famous songs..." She said, playing the song. As it played, Rhythm mouthed the words, though she still seemed rather distracted...her eyes brushing over Amber and Flash every now and then...but most of the time, she kept her eyes on the ground.

Scribblegroove was rather dissapointed that Diamond hadn't hasked him to play something, as he had predicted the contrary. He turned around and started to say, as he was walking to the door "Well, this place looks cool, I'm going to be here most of the time for s..." But then he was interrupted by the filly who was suddendly in front of him.

Diamond frowned as he moved towards the door. "Aren't you gonna pla-" She was cut off also as a mare trotted up the stairs to the recording studios.
She trotted out fully from the recording room, closing the door and approaching the mare and Scribblegroove. "Hi..." She said, standing next to Scribblegroove. She would have said more but her mind was a little frazzled...she didn't want Scribblegroove to leave and not play something as well...she had so...he should.

"Aww yeah, now this is what I'm talking about." Amber began to lean forward from the couch, moving out of Flash's hold, her hoof tapping along with every hit of the base. It was so easy to get into this kinda stuff, it was addicting. When it ended Amber wasn't afraid to share her thoughts. "That...  was...  awesome! I could kiss you it was so good!The crowds must love you, you'd have them eating out of your hooves!" You may have noticed she liked the song.

 

Flopping back in the couch she turned back to Flash, nudging him a bit to get his attention. "What do you think? Pretty kicking, aye? What I'd give to be in the club and hear that." Amber was actually still relatively new to the DJ'ing business, only a couple of years of small gigs. She knew the effort that went into a track like that. "You're one hard act to follow, Rhythm. I'll give you that."

@, @@The-Master,

Flash smiled as the song started and he slowly got into the rhythm of it, lightly nodding his head along with the beats. At first it had sounded off to him before it grew and became something he was actually enjoying. Once the song had finished did he notice that Amber had leaned forward. "Yeah, I liked that one a lot. Perhaps you could play it again some time?" he said as he got comfortable against Amber again.

Crossfade came to a screeching halt at the top of the stairs; less to avoid impacting the two ponies greeting her and more to gape in awe at the upper floor. This place was going to be PERFECT for practicing and recording new material while they were here! It took her a few moments to notice the brown stallion and purple mare, shaking off her...slightly offputting schoolfilly stare. "Oh uh...heya. Sorry, just a bit psyched about the new digs." She grinned, scratching her mane. "The name's Crossfade, I'm...well, I WAS looking for the other DJs but my brother clearly sent me on a wild goose chase..." The white pegasus wasn't exactly mad at Frost, however. She couldn't blame him for his habit to go scoping out random mares whenever he was raring and ready to perform.

 

There was something about the purple mare in front of her that she couldn't place, as if she had seen her somewhere before. She could faintly recall her brother mentioning something about meeting a pony with 'a glorious lavender coat and a flowing purple mane' in Canterlot, and this mare certainly fit the description, but it just HAD to be a coincidence. Crossfade mentally pushed these thoughts aside. "But yeah, I'm a DJ myself, thought I'd explore a bit. I'm here with my brother Arctic Frost, waiting for the rest of Razorwing to arrive."

[Scribblegroove 565]

Scribblegroove laughed at the little filly. "Well you are right about the goose chase. Both of us are definately not DJ's. But it can't harm to broaden your view right?" Then he remembered that he had entirely rejected someone who was listening dubstep, but now he was preaching about broadening view! "Well, dubstep isn't exactly broadening..." he thought to himself.

 

"My name is Scribblegroove. I make jazzy stuff. Most people aren't very interested im jazz, but I believe it's the complexity of my music that pushes most ponies away. The real jazz enthusiasts stay though. Even though my audience is rather small compared to most 'metal' bands or 'dubstep' authors, you could say that I am one of the most succesful jazz musicians out there... Even though you probably never heard of me..."

 

Scribblegroove's tone of voice grew a littlebit dark throughout that little lecture, but then it brightened up again. "You however, I have heard of! Or more your brother actually. Frost, wasn't that his name? Anyway, we were just finished with the studio, but if you want we can stay for a while longer and see what you can do Crossfade! They are quite the gems you know. Best of the best!" He pointed at the still unclosed door.

 

He then turned to Diamond. "Excuse me, what were you saying just then?" He said.

"You got it." Amber levitated out her IPony and removed the earphones. Her horn glowed as she amplified the speakers so the others could at least hear it. She was used to having it much louder but there were other guests of another calibre present. that could wait. "Hmm, how about this one, a little collab between me and Mako.

The white pegasus giggled. "Jazz, huh? I'm...probably a bit too hyperactive for jazz myself, to be honest. It's just...not really my style. It's really fun to experiment with unpopular genres though, so I feel ya there. Myself..." Crossfade grinned widely, clearly happy to spread the influence of her musical style. "I experiment with a wide variety of dance and party music, not just dubstep. My personal favorite is Nightcore, and it's also a bit unknown compared to more well-known genres. I like it because...well, it's experimental. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, it depends on the track you're mixing. Think party music, with a higher-paced, higher-pitched feel. Something that you can DANCE to, with all the bass and ferocity of hardstyle."

 

She scratched her mane, offering a nervous chuckle at the stallion's proposal to perform. "Not...entirely sure that's a good idea right now. My equipment's mixed with the rest of the band's and they aren't here yet, though when they do arrive, I'll gladly kick up the party switch!"

On her way upstairs, Flashdance was completely getting lost within her music, going up the spiraling stairway and obnoxiously yelling out the song lyrics. Sadly, this was her form of her singing.

 

"WILL YOU KILL WHAT'S LEFT OF ME AND STOP THE FEEDING? SHOOT IT, SHOOT IT OUT 'CAUSE THEY WANT IT, WANT IT, NOW NOW! SHOOT IT, SHOOT IT OUT 'CAUSE THEY WANT IT, WANT IT NOW NOW!"

 

Of course, she was paying no heed to the other two mares that were conversing right nearby. Though, reaching the next floor, she caught sight, and immediately called out to them. "HEY! YOU TWO PART OF THE BASH?!" She 'asked' out to them.

Amber had long forgotten the music and was now far more concerned with hiding her growing blush. Flash had become sorta...  affectionate. In her mind it didn't even make sense but here he was. No, he was far too sensitive and she couldn't take advantage of that. She straightened herself out on the couch, clearing her throat before speaking again. "Thanks, I had fun making it. Means allot to me."

 

Amber's focus shifted back to Rhythm, and to be honest she seemed more uncomfortable than her. Was it something she'd said? It usually was. She had such a big mouth. Maybe she just didn't like the music. With these thoughts looming over her head, Amber slipped out away from Flash, giving a quick apology, and went to go sit next to Rhythm. "What's up?
