"rope" Snow White was emptying his big bag "matches, paint, candles, chains" droping on the floor these ones made a frightful noise, same went for the knives.
"pieces of a broken mirror, fake blood- hope no one's allergic 'cause I am, dust, broken rocks, a bucket".
It went on and on with another bag then it was the cameras.
The last one had flash lights and clothes.
The group that was excited were now reluctant, standing still on the ground of the garage belonging to Lia's grandmother that had transformed in a battle field.
3 days ago they had decided on who would do what.
"I think the 2, 8 and the 12 fit me" Lia had affirmed hand raised.
"okay" he noted "just to be clear, we talked about the group scenes and individual ones but it would be more interesting to have a main trope, a main person that would be the Ariande's thread if you know what I mean, like I was imagining someone who would be in the scene 4 since in china it sounds like 'death', in the 9th too because 9 in japanese culture remind of the word 'torture', then there would be the scene 13 obviously for its supposed unluckyness, I would have like to also use the number 666 but we won't make something long enough" he laughed "at last there would be the scene 17, actually I think we should end on this one 'cause if you writte it in roman numbers and rearrange it, it will be something similar to 'I lived' and that was usualy wrotte on tombstones so I think it match for a kind of 'end' y'know"
Chriss said dumbfounded "you sound like a dictionnary- fuck"
"Ahah I studied well- Anyway, In the scene 17 we should use something to represent an ouroboros to represent the eternal cycle of destruction and rebirth"
The band had a hard time viewing the thing in their head except Mika who was quiet satisfied of what the man was doing with his song.
"I thought of asking a aquaintance to paint it......"
....
Jake kept bablering for a while on everything he was planning but it was hard to follow and Lia said it ou loud
"I only remember half of what you said, sorry, could you send us a resume by message when you have time ?"
"Ah- yes"
Afterwards started a competion of speed on who wouldn't have to have this important role.
Julia and Chriss were faster.
Eliot and Mika looked at each other, the younger opened his mouth in an unthrusty upside down grimace facing the older "I just don't wanna do the 'main character' thing"
Mika responded wiht a smile " then I'll do it"
He was caring less about it than the others. Moreover, shouldn't he be the one to do it in the first place ?
After all it was his song.
Then today happened.
The material was installed, instruments, mic, decoration, lights, tripods. However as Jake said "action" the members were awkward.
Julia and Mika were frozen. Only Lia was giving her all as if life had no tomorow.
Jake asked if they would be more at ease to rehaersing on they own and he received positive nods therefore he said there was no rush and that they could pospone to another day.
Mika cut off "I think I could do my indiv scenes"
"Well if you think so then lets try it out"
The 4 others were assigned homework "Lia, teach them how to let go".
"I'll make them do it in front of my grandma" she snickered "good luck Mika".
Both smiled to her then the door shut.
"ok so we will attached you to the instruments" Jake was prudent not to make Mika uncomfortable.
The subject was in the middle of blody roses, broken mirrors and glasses, fake dry blood at the corner of his lips, as wearing white clothes that were stinking dust.
"Why choosing these flowers ?" Mika asked because he had to show interest.
"I guess it seems generic but it's why I choose them, nowadays, I think people tend to hate them more than anything else, they are something we learnt to be a symbol of love, but the thing is, love is probably the most messed up thing in the world so it can represent the paradox of human emotions.
"...."
"But this is only my point of view"
'What a complicated response' Mika thought.
Noneless what Jake had said was making too much sense to him.
Be honest with me if the pace is not good, I'm not too sure of how it feels reading this,
I would like to know if the coversation are too long or too flat (>人<;)
Jake meets Mika, Mika meets Jake, and then bit by bit all shatters. A messed up barman/video maker with an invading hobby and a complicated guitarist can engender a puzzling futur, even more when one of them cannot run away from his unhinged mind.
