Rock Band Party, Tuesday Evening, First Floor Rec Room

Karla and Warren had celebrated their return to their proper forms in the way that many teenagers would find appropriate: they'd headed back to the modern mainland, found a toy store, and bought a gaming system (or three). Along with the games they bought to go along with said system, they also picked up a few guitars, a keyboard, a drum set, and two microphones.

Once back in the rec room, the rest of the afternoon had been spent setting up the systems and buying every single song available for the game. Waiting for them to finish downloading actually took longer than the initial setting up, even taking in Karla's attempts to 'help'.

But now the system was set up, the songs were ready, and the instruments prepared.

Fandom High? Get ready to rock.

"Rock? Like, garage rock kinda stuff, I guess. Only there was no actual garage in sight."

He paused. "Uh, garage rock is... So there's this whole thing where lots of kids start up bands in high school, and usually they end up practicing in their parents' garage? So it gets called garage rock. And it's not like they all play the same kind of music, but a lot of it tends to fall into this, like, one major rock subgenre?"

Usually because the kids teach themselves, like, two chords and think they're going to make it big, Marshall. At least you've got them beat there!

Yeah. Admittedly, what Marshall thought garage rock was is not entirely accurate. What with missing the whole 'precursor to punk' aspect. Shh, don't tell him, he'll be embarrassed.

"Sounds good!" Marshall agreed.

Marshall scrolled through the song selection. "... I don't know this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auzfTPp4moA)," he admitted, "so it must be newer, but the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are garage-rock-ish." He listened to the preview for a moment. "And it sounds kinda cool."

"Okay!" Marshall said, grinning. He hit the select button and settled at the keyboard. "Then let's rock!"
