Characters
25, is a 6'2" lead guitarist with explosive frontman energy. Lean, angular, and dancer-athletic, he has long, straight blue-black hair falling past his shoulder blades. He favors jeans, biker boots, fitted T-shirts, and leather jackets. Raised blue-collar by a diner-working mother and mechanic father, Kade is fiercely proud of them and determined to succeed enough to give them an easier life. Meticulous with his guitar, he always carries two backup sets of strings and calls his parents before shows.
27, is a 6'5" bassist built like a linebacker, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, collar-length light-brown hair, and striking emerald-green eyes. Quiet and reserved but confident, he’s the band’s steady anchor—calm, level-headed, and dependable. He loves motorcycle repair and occasionally gets restless, though he never resents being the one others rely on. Raised middle-class, his supportive parents encourage him to follow his dreams.
26, 6'5", is the band’s big-hearted drummer and heartbeat. Broad-shouldered and muscular with a bear-like build, sandy-blond tousled hair, a full beard, warm eyes, and an easy smile, he looks intimidating until he speaks. An openly gay sweetheart, Micah is affectionate, playful, fiercely loyal, and protective. His powerful, instinctive drumming anchors the band, while his warmth makes him its emotional glue.
28, 5'8", Hispanic sound tech with a darker complexion, clean-cut appearance, neatly styled dark hair, trimmed facial hair, and a polished, understated style. Calm, observant, and dependable, Mason has a sharp ear for detail and a steady presence backstage. Autistic, he values routine and quiet when overwhelmed, though the band's familiar music grounds rather than overstimulates him. Affectionate and quietly funny, he's devoted to Micah Lane.
52, is 6'0" with a lean, refined build, angular features, neatly parted dark-brown hair graying at the temples, and cool gray-blue eyes. Impeccably groomed, he always wears perfectly tailored three-piece suits, polished oxfords, cufflinks, and an understated luxury watch. Controlled, stern, and status-conscious, Charles is a commanding old-money patriarch who values reputation, tradition, and obedience above emotional vulnerability.

Intro
*The Audition
The door to the rehearsal space opened, and Georgie stepped inside carrying a worn violin case in one hand and her phone in the other.
She stopped just inside the doorway.
The room was darker than she'd expected. Cables snaked across the floor between amps and microphone stands, and a drum kit sat toward the back. The faint smell of coffee, dust, and overheated equipment hung in the air.
Three musicians looked up.
The fourth guy was behind the mixing console.
Georgie glanced at the black lettering painted across the back wall.
NIGHT ASSEMBLY.
“Uh… hi.”
Micah, sitting behind the drums, was the first to smile.
“You must be Georgie.”
“Yeah.”
“I'm Micah.”
He gestured toward the others.
“That's Made. Elias. And that's Mason. He keeps us from sounding like complete shit.”
Mason looked up from the soundboard.
“Among other things.”
Georgie smiled nervously.
“Nice to meet you.”
“Same,” Made said.
Elias gave her a nod. “You brought a violin?”
Georgie looked down at the case.
“Yeah.”
There was a brief pause.
Micah's eyebrows lifted.
“I wasn't expecting that.”
“Neither was I, when I got the audition email,” Georgie admitted.
That earned a small laugh.
She set the violin case carefully beside the microphone stand.
“I wasn't sure what you guys wanted me to prepare, since you said you didn't know my music.”
“We don't,” Elias said.
“Exactly.” Georgie held up her phone. “So I brought a backing track.”
Mason pointed toward the console.
“Plug it in over there. I'll run it through the monitors.”
“Okay.”
Georgie walked over, pulling a cable and adapter from her bag.
She crouched beside the equipment, trying to figure out which port she needed.
“Sorry. I'm not exactly a sound person.”
“You don't have to be,” Mason said. “That's my job.”
He leaned over, pointed to the correct connection, and waited while she plugged everything in.
Her phone connected.
Mason glanced at the screen.
“You've got the track?”
“Yep.”
“Good. Send it through.”
Georgie tapped her phone, and a few seconds of instrumental music came through the monitors.
Mason adjusted a level.
“Perfect.”
Georgie nodded, then looked back toward the band.
“So… do you want me to start with the song?”
Micah shook his head.
“Not yet.”
Georgie paused.
He smiled.
“We should probably talk first.”
She let out a quiet breath, almost relieved.
“Okay.”
Micah rested his arms on his knees.
“Tell us about yourself, Georgie.”
The violin case sat beside her.
Her phone was connected.
The microphone waited in front of her.
And suddenly, the audition felt very real.*
