She was almost ashamed to admit it, but the performance had blown her away. Maria came to the cafe fully expecting her friend to be good... but she couldn't have imagined her to be this good. It was almost baffling to think that the shy, reserved girl had this sort of presence and talent on the stage. A smile made itself apparent on Maria's face, one which was bound to last the whole night. The crowd around her seemed to enjoy it just as much. Maria was particularly glad to notice a couple people close to Rin's age in the audience as well. She couldn't be completely sure, but she had the feeling that many of them were in fact U.A. students just like Rin. It was comforting to see that Rin had a circle of friends that came to support her. Maria had no doubt in her mind that as good as Rin's performance was, the girl was probably dealing with some amount of stage fright as well. A positive first experience like this should go a long way to help with that. In fact, the reception was positive enough that Maria herself was a bit anxious to get onto the stage after Rin. Given her lack of practice recently and the quality of the opening performance, the best Maria could hope to achieve was a lukewarm follow-up.
For a moment Maria just stopped thinking and relaxed. She enjoyed the music and the atmosphere without paying much attention to the world around her. And that's when it all crumbled. Things happened so fast with so many actors involved that Maria could barely follow the events as they unfolded. It didn't help that she had almost no context to go on... so many of the people involved were little more than strangers to her. At first glance it all had the feel of simple teenage drama to it. But the intensity, the feelings that were being stirred, it didn't feel right. It was worrying. The mood and atmosphere declined rapidly, with all of it culminating in Rin running off.
Right then and there, the brief shock and sheer surprise paralyzed Maria. This was all wrong. This isn't how the evening was supposed to go. It was all beyond Maria's control, she might as well have been watching a movie with how little influence she had over the events that took place. But it still all frustrated her oh so much. She almost felt responsible somehow. So many thoughts were racing trough Maria's mind. What could she do? What should she do? She had come to the cafe event with a purpose in mind as well. Besides just supporting Rin and enjoying the music, she had planned to talk with the girl about some of the things she had mentioned in the past. The idea of Maria looking into the possibility of joining Rin at U.A. Academy. She had given it some consideration and although it still sounded far-fetched to her, Rin's conviction was genuine and sincere enough that Maria couldn't help but want to hear her out and listen to what she had to say on the matter. Alas, much like the rest of the evening that intention had been soured.
As the crowd booed and stirred Maria finally moved. Although she struggled to formulate anything resembling a plan of action, her instincts compelled her to follow after Rin. Squeezing her way past the amassed audience Maria made her way out of the cafe and into the night.
She didn't feel optimistic about this.

Ah bollocks, of course he missed and of course he was getting ignored by not only Jaz, but seemingly everybody. Just as he was about to let out another shout of anger and try to attack again, the main people he was focused on were leaving and he was, if only for a few seconds, left with his own thoughts. He had just used a special technique of his quirk, attempted to attack a classmate and threatened to kill her, even if he knew he probably couldn't do it. That could give him a pretty bad punishment usually, though this time, he had one boon for himself.
Maximillian wasn't alone in this commotion. In fact, a lot of parties were involved and all were leaving for the quiet of night. If he didn't leave now, amidst all the confusion, he could come to face some harsh penalties at the hours of the night, when the authorities were tired and not really up to dealing with him. Looking at the backstage exit from which Rin had left from, he decided to go right into it, not following them, though really looking like so: he just wanted to get out.
Once outside, looking everywhere that he could escape to that didn't have that many people, due to his quirk making him almost a beacon for everyone within his quirk's area, he quickly ran off to the right, soon escaping into the quiet of night, using his phone's gps to guide him to the nearest bus which would take him straight back to U.A. There, the punishment he'd face would easily be much preferable than what the police would have for him. Detention, scrubbing more floors. He was ready to suffer through it, since he knew what he had done was punishable: he just wanted to get the less of either evil. Essentially, he was trying to go for the less severe poison.

Melody had arrived to honey honey because she had been invited by Darren to come see him and Rin perform and she wanted to support her two friends so it was only natural that she'd want to come. She didn't plan on performing tonight unless someone pushed her to but seeing as how the only person who's ever heard her play just waltzed out of the place in tears, so that was not gonna happen despite melody secretly hoping it would so she'd have an excuse to play. But tonight was not about Melody she was wearing a white dress with beige wedges and a small purse on the side. She sent a small text to the girl "I know you probably have a million people texting you to make sure you're ok but let me know if you need someone to talk to Rin." andddddd send. The Evian student hero had sat in the back watching all the chaos unfold in front of her, Rin got lumped into some girl drama, which came as a shock to melody because she had no idea Rin even swung any other way than being straight. Not that it really bothered her cause in this day and age it was considered normal and it really didn't bug her at all, it was more so the delivery and the bad timing but to be honest. Did this Jaz girl even know that she'd hurt everyone like this? It was kinda messed up if she did and everyone's reactions to Jaz's confession only made this situation an even bigger mess, meanwhile melody just kinda sat there in complete shock as Jaz high-jacked Ryuu's turn on stage...dick move.. she sent a text to Darren "What the hell just happen? Im kind of lost, is Rin ok?" She also sent a meme that she figured Darren might like since he had been putting them in the various U.A chats recently
She was brought back by Ryuusei suddenly playing the piano, it was very pretty...melody sat there and soaked in all the notes, enjoying the...'melody' that Ryuu was creating. Her own Piano skill helped her even appreciate the technicality of the song even further, adding a deeper layer of understanding of the music he was playing. After Ryuusei finished playing she stood up and began to clap for him, the boy seemed really upset after the shipping boat had shipped off of the stage so she hoped this would impact him. Next up was Darren's group, she really had like NO idea what kind of music he'd like...probably rock or some hardcore music...it would fit him entirely in her mental image of Darren, loud and unpredictable just like him. As she waited for Darren's turn she would sit in the crowd waiting...maid cafe were weriddddddd....coming from the USA this was COMPLETELY different from what she was used to, in fact melody got so nervous her japanese started to break down into japanglish when one of the maids referred to her as mistress, to keep them away from trying to harass her into buying drinks or food melody ordered a fancy virgin cocktail with a cute design on it with a small cake included with the price. She caught a glimpse of Darren and did a small wave to him and then did a small thumbs up to give him a small sign of good luck. She looked around and kicked her feet, there were a lot of U.A students here from what she could tell...Rin sure was popular, even if she didnt admit it. Look how many people she got to come, she saw Akio from her class here and several others she remembers from the halls because of their unique looks. Tldr of Melody's reaction to the drammaaa bomb and the meme she sent Darren:

Yumi had been pretty late to the music night. Honestly she'd been preparing a little dance routine till several people hinted to her this was far more serious than something akin to Karaoke, and she felt it best to let anyone who was taking it seriously have the stage. She did however know that it was all taking place at a maid cafe, which definitely still held her interest! She loved those places! The servers were always so cute and sweet, and for some reason all the boys eating there tended to be eager to talk to her or share her table! Some of them even tended to pay her bill for her! It was always a pleasant experience to go to one, and she'd even applied to work at one or two... Though a nyan-maid cafe had rejected her once because her...personality, as Darren would say, was a little too big for what they were looking for. That had stung in a way she didn't expect. All the same, it should be a fun night, and she'd even made a little effort to make herself enjoy it. While most people had likely dressed casually, Yumi decided she'd break out a cosplay given where things where being hosted, walking through the evening streets without much worry despite her attire, and making her way towards the cafe, catching the last bit of music halfway to closing. The tone was gentle, with a hint of sadness as far as she could tell, though she was far more knowledgeable about modern upbeat songs or those from anime soundtracks. All the same, she gave a nice round of applause when it was done, and began looking for anyone she knew once the next performer was moving on stage. "Pretty sure Maxi said he was here on the UA chat...though he didn't sound happy about it..." Scanning a little more, he spotted the blonde head-topping of her favorite classmate. Skipping over to him and jumping into his back, hugging her arms around his neck and nuzzling his cheek. "Darren-kuuuuun!~" She gave him a tight squeeze and let go, bouncing on her heels. Darren would maybe think she was working here on first glance from the fact she was wearing a maid outfit, but the rather...skimpier nature of it, from the fact it seemed to hug her chest a little too well, to the short cut of the skirt and VERY exposed midrift, it said she probably didn't work at a maid cafe at all...or at least not this one. "How's everything been!~ I heard there was some mess but I only just got here? What was happening?"

Post by Hayley Reid on Sept 1, 2018 19:52:52 GMT -4
And so, Hayley got up on stage with the rest of her band, OD Hazard or Vague BJ or whatever the hell they had settled on calling themselves, she honestly was not sure.
“Surprise motherfuckers!”
With a primal scream that sounded as though she were calling out the gods themselves, Hayley quite literally tore apart her frilly pink dress bare-handed to reveal the wonderfully ghastly Splinterfist shirt underneath – and the shorts, for obvious modesty. Seconds later she lobbed her wig with all her might in the general direction of the audience, or what remained of the audience anyway.
Something had definitely gone down here before she had arrived, she felt it in the air. Something not so pleasant. Still, it was not her business.
She launched into the classic nineties angry teenager anthem Smells Like Teen Spirit, hoping the rest of the band would diligently follow. She tried to remain undistracted, but for some reason she kept thinking about the way the big tiddy redhead had acted around Darren – why the hell did she even care? Of course they knew each other; they had been going to school together for a long-ass time. And why did it even matter to her? She did her best not to think about it and poured all her energy into rocking out.

She didn't watch what had happened before. She didn't know what was said or how anyone reacted, much less how disrought her boyfriend was. She wasn't here for him, she was here for herself, for music. As she followed behind the boy she less than enjoyed and a girl who she had grown very tolerable of, she wheeled the drum set behind them. Taking her place, she would kick the wheels, having them lock into place as she took her seat. Removing the drumsticks from her person she would prepare to play their song of choice, one they had practiced far too often. As she tore her clothing and tossed her wig, Leviathan was closing her eyes, trying to feel the colors of sound. She took her deep breaths, focusing. With a light tap of each drum, she would remember the distances of each. She exhaled, opening her eyes. The girl would begin to strum, Levi calmed herself, finding her body far more nervous than she could have imagined. "One... two... one two three four-"She counted her marks, the sticks would slam into the drums, calling upon the lords of darkness to lend her their aid for this moment. "Please don't make me look worse than Darren." she thought to herself. ~ 212 ~

Of course, Maxi walked out as well. Their public was dwindling. Thankfully, he spied Melody in the crowd, gave her a wave. He later felt his phone vibrate, but he ignored it, because Levi was finally coming in. “Alright!” he shouted. “Everyone’s here. Let’s sick some rock on these foo--”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted with a pleasant sensation on his back and in his neck, though with suddenly a lot more weight to carry. “Yo prez, what’s up?” he answered energetically, a spark in his eyes. “We’re about to play, so talk later!” And with that, he turned tail, slung his bass over his shoulder and hopped on the scene. He moved the mic stand to the left to let Hayley occupy the right side and connected his bass in the amp.
The crackle of the amp suddenly pulled him back to reality, and he froze up for a second. Holy shit, that was a lot of people, now that he thought of it, and he’d only learn to play a few months before. And he was going to sing too. Oh god. And he was going after Rin’s voice, with his mere two octaves. Fuck. Stage fright was beginning to take hold of the proud delinquent.
Thank fuck he had Hayley on his side. With a “Surprise, motherfuckers!” and a rip of her disguise, she showed her true colors to a gasping audience. He got up. God damn it, she was right. They were here with the power of rock n’ roll on their side. That’s right! He turned around energetically and shouted in the mic: “We are OD Hazard, previously Vague Blowjob, and this is our fucking music!” As if on cue, Levi shouted the classic one two three four, and they began playing.
Darren just banged his head when Hayley played the first clean riff, but as soon as she kicked in the distortion pedal he added his bassline along with Levi’s furious drumming. The music calmed down just as quick as it had angered. The first verse was calm in that odd threatening way that only Kurt Cobain had the secret off. Darren was a semi-convincing off-brand imitation.
“Load up on guns, bring your friends It's fun to lose and to pretend, She's over-bored and self-assured Oh no, I know a dirty word…”
His English and his articulation were good. He managed to keep the bassline going with few mistakes. “Hello, hello, hello, how low… Hello, hello, hello, how low…” He was doing his best to replicate the tortured timbre of the Seattle frontman of the classic 90’s band. Thankfully, the song was getting angry again.
“With the lights out, it's less dangerous! Here we are now, entertain us! I feel stupid, and contagious! Here we are now, entertain us! A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido! Yeah! Hey! Yay!”
He screamed into the mike with passion and energy, delighting himself in the shocked gazes in the audience when he caught his breath. Raging rock songs were really the register in which Darren shined the most. He was able to crunch his voice without destroying his throat, on the short term at least. The song calmed down again.
“I'm worse at what, I do best And for this gift I feel blessed. Our little group, has always been And always will until the end...”
More hello’s, more how low’s, and more rage, again.
“With the lights out, it's less dangerous! Here we are now, entertain us! I feel stupid, and contagious! Here we are now, entertain us! A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido! Yeah! Hey! Yay!”
That was Hayley’s cue to go into the guitar solo, which thankfully was simple enough. Their plucky band of misfits didn’t have great instrumentalists, but they had passion. The third verse flowed, and soon the rage was upon Darren again.
“With the lights out, it's less dangerous! Here we are now, entertain us! I feel stupid, and contagious! Here we are now, entertain us! A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido! A denial! A denial! A denial! A denial!”
The end of the song was approaching. Darren gave it his all.
“A DENIAL! A DENIAL! A DENIAL! A DENIAAAAAAAL!” The guitar and the drums died down with the last line. There was a second of two of awkward silence, and equally awkward applause. Well, it was to be expected. The manager looked at the trio of rockers not happy at all. He shouted one last thing in the mike: “We are OD Hazard and we brought you Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana tonight, in other words, some good fucking music! Y’all motherfuckers welcome for us saving the evening!”
He turned away from the mike and looked at his bandmates. “Come on, let’s go, I think that guy back there is the manager and he’s giving us one hell of a stink eye.” And then, more excitedly, as they started gathering their stuff and packing up: “Whoo-wee! That was fucking awesome! We HAVE to do this shit again!”
