chapter 1 - morals and such

there was no denying the uneasiness that settled when you finally tucked in for the night. you had gotten so used to having roommates to accompany you, always hearing some sort of noise coming from the living room. it was eerie.

you tossed and turned, waiting for the uncomfortable silence to stop. you hoped that the city noises could provide you some comfort.

just as you began to contemplate putting on some rain noise, white noise, — anything, you heard the quiet picking of a guitar. it was muffled by the drywall separating the noise from your bedroom, but it was loud enough to make out the sounds of different chords.

you remembered the guy from the hallway, the one you called performative at first glance, with the large guitar case on his back. you gave him some credit for not being as phony as you thought. who would play guitar for nobody but himself at nearly midnight?

the picking stopped for a moment. presumably, he had finished tuning the instrument.

the silence ended as fast as it started, the picking turning into strumming. slow, meticulous notes playing one by one, occasionally accompanied by a curse under the breath of the eclectic neighbor.

as he mastered more and more of the song you began to recognize the tune. you were quickly reminded of middle school and cringed at the thought. you wondered why he chose such a cliché song to learn.

maybe he was in a band? some cover band that plays at the local bars for recognition. or maybe he was a music major who needed to learn a certain song for his class. maybe you two would get along better than you thought you would.

before you could make another assumption of his personal life, the strumming had sung you right to sleep.

The Scene is the campus' local bar. its the bands short short short term goal to play there.

yn acts very independent but we will learn that is not exactly true.

idk if anyone elses uni does the slipping flyers under the door thing but mine does so.

coughing baby vs nitrogen bombs hate frats so much they agreed to only go out if it was to a bar or club.

station 12 also hates frats but for the cash they must prevail.

i love a little bit of misunderstandings if you couldnt tell.

semi is very insecure about showing people their music. he doesnt think its bad by any means but hes scared of peoples judgement.

hinata has been blasting "music baby" for days now. he has never gotten over that highschool situationship with kags...

whoever catches the beabadoobee ref gets a kiss.

i just realized there’s a continuity error AAUUGGHHHHH

yn and mastukawa are NOT dating. matsukawa being the only person helping her makes it look like it tho.

kuroo made a bet with semi that he could learn more stereotypical band songs before they graduate

i just realized i misspelled "alone" idec idec

yachi's gf is kiyoko obvi

the chapters will be much long going forward but that also means they will probably take longer.

introductions - station 12

extras

semi: vocalist and lead guitarist. tendou: bassist. bokuto: drums. kuroo: second guitarist.

the band was all semi's idea. he first got tendou to join him (it didnt take much convincing), then he met kuroo and bokuto.

kuroo and bokuto were dorming together freshmen year (as were tendou and semi). kuroo was the "pulls guitar out at the function" guy and semi literally turned into the batman gif.

he begged and begged kuroo to join him. semi had to bribe bokuto for a place in the band if he would help get kuroo in. eventually kuroo came around to the idea.

they had 0 band name ideas at first. they literally came up with it in the most cartoonish way possible. while at the subway they were brainstorming and tendou was looking around and went "station...12!" cuz he saw the train station sign and the train number. it ended up being the train they took often so they settled with it.

bokuto, semi, and tendou live together. kuroo lived with bokuto once and he swore to never make that mistake again so hes been living in the same apartment by himself since sophmore year.

currently station 12 is stuck at playing for fraternities which they hate but they must start somewhere

introductions - coughing baby (yn) vs hydrogen bomb

extras

yachi and yn were in the same design class freshmen year.

yachi introduced her to hinata and yn introduced her to oikawa.

they all got super close and moved in together sophmore year.

matsukawa transferred to their uni that year and oikawa offered him a spot in their apt.

they are all now inseparable.

yachi and yn shared a room and the guys all got their own. (they call it misogyny but yn and yachi couldnt be happier to live together)

however, after second semester finals week yn knew that she needed a place of her own. she is the coughing baby to everyone else's hydrogen bomb. aka they were a rambunctious group and she needed her quiet to focus on her projects.

he is lowkey very performative

henley warrior. 90% of his closet is the same old navy henley in different colors. he also thinks funny graphic tees are the pinnacle of comedy and wears them to shows hoping to attract people in his same level of humor.

originally kuroo wore adidas sambas to shows until one day his gripless shoes slipped on someone spilled beer. he now wears docs out of embarrassment. he started collecting funky socks after his sweet old neighbor gave him a pair that used to belong to her grandson. he always makes sure to roll up his jeans when he wears them.

her outfits are usually very flowy and breathable. she loves loose tops and skirts that let her move around with 0 tightness. she hates sacrificing her comfortability for her appearance. the only exception are her shoes, but she walks around a lot so she breaks into them very quickly.

on a day that she knows she’s gonna be in the studio or painting in her apartment she goes full comfy mode. she loves a pair of wide leg sweats and low top converse. it reminds her of her high school art class. her beabadoobee tee is her holy grail item.
