Like a Rolling Stone

rvyifan​:

“isn’t that what they employ maintenance for in the first place? i don’t think i could work with something constantly dripping.” music, the general background noise of other people shuffling around, even outside noise was fine, but a leak would drive yifan out of their mind. “guess you never know what’ll be useful until it’s too late.”

“Yeah, but I guess there’s only so many maintenance guys, I guess. Or like... job security or whatever? I dunno,” Seulgi said with a shrug of the shoulder. “Hindsight is 20-20.”

jangbyulrv​:

“hey– i hear that. some of my favorite choreographies i’ve ever made have been inspired by nature or things i’ve seen out in the world.”

“Good, so we’re on the same page, then,” Seulgi snorted. “I don’t know anything about dancing, but I think the modern stuff is pretty cool. To watch, anyway.”

[srvlgi]

rvnate​:

“i resent that,” nathan laughed, handing her the notebook. “i’ve written a part of almost every juno song since debut. if i were that bad, they wouldn’t let me do that.”

“Maybe so, but keep in mind I come from a company where writing your own music is pretty much expected of you. Standards are a bit different,” Seulgi pointed out, taking the notebook handed to her.

[srvlgi]

rvyoungmi​:

youngmi laughed, shaking her head. “i’m not much for mobile games, to be honest.” she occasionally did a crossword or even a game of sudoku, but most of the time she spent on her phone involved scrolling social media, texting her friends, or reading. “i had a lot of schedules that day, so my lesson was at like 5am.” she rarely missed a day of vocal training – liberty had her with a trainer 5 days a week.

“Yikes, I’m glad I didn’t catch that deal. Morning’s are already a no-go for me, but having to process things that early? Can’t be me,” Seulgi laughed. Being a bit of an insomniac herself, she valued the sleep that came to her, however sparse it could be sometimes. “Honestly, the only game I have on my phone is this color sorting game, as dumb as that sounds.”

[srvlgi]

rvnate​:

“you don’t need to be a lyricist to have an opinion. or to read something and think it’s stupid,” nathan pointed out. “i don’t need you to write a verse or something. i just need to know i’m going in the right direction before i sink three months into i.”

“Fair enough, I’m pretty good at calling out stupid shit,” Seulgi said, sitting down. “Let’s see it, then. Maybe it’s not that bad. Maybe.”

[srvlgi]

rvsiwan​:

siwan rolled his shoulders and slumped back into the chair “that makes two of us, then.”

“I think you probably made a verbal contract as a main vocal, though,” Seulgi pointed out with a grin. “Gotta be careful of those.”

[rvsikyung]

“okay, be honest,” sikyung began with a grin. “when liberty sat you down and showed you love shake and told you that was the group you were going to be joining, what did you think?” // @srvlgi​ @rvbobby​

[srvlgi]

“Honestly--I got super bad vibes from it. Like... was I being scammed into running a crappy drum machine and being called a drummer for show?” Seulgi responded, then pausing. “Also, it was so cutesy I had to detox my ears listening to Sinawe for the rest of the day.”

[srvlgi]

rvahki​:

ahki was sure that if she was a musician, she probably wouldn’t care. she knew how to play instruments, but those had been learned while training with liberty– singing had always been her passion. had guitar been her passion, heart2heart probably would have been a dream gig. but she’d always wanted to be a singer, like lucille ahn or juliette. this was not what she signed up for. “thanks, seulgi,” ahki replied with a sigh. “like…i get that i do a lot for the group, technically, but……you could take me out of heart2heart and no one would notice. someone else could play the music, or they could play an instrumental track, and it would be lke i was never there,” she said. “did you know in my last vocal evaluation, i got top marks? my trainer said it was one of the best evaluations he’d seen in a long time. but for some reason, liberty thinks kwak minji invented the wheel or something, and i’m just here to be her sidekick…”

She sat back and let the girl say her piece, listening intently. She assumed that the younger’s feelings were built up over a considerable amount of time, so she wasn’t about to interrupt it, you know? Once she’d finally finished, she sat back up again. “For some reason I recall hearing it before,”  Seulgi mused with a nod. “But anyway... it’s pretty rotten. I know some kids are just lucky, but the gig Minji has really has me wondering if she saved the country in a past life or something. Because she really can’t be that talented, or she wouldn’t just be an indie style singer in a niche label, she’d be at Spotlight. Wouldn’t she?”

rvkisu​:

“well, yeah, that would definitely be cool, but i meant more the actual sound of the drops. the would be a super cool unconventional sound to put in a song, yeah?”

“Yeah, it would be kind of cool, honestly,” Seulgi said, then pausing and laughing. “I’m sure it’s not going to be the last time the building springs a leak, so there’s always next time, I guess. Or recreate it at home, but that seems like it’d be a good way to lose my security deposit.”

[srvlgi]

rvyifan​:

“you would think they’d have someone from maintenance check that out before it had gone on so long that you could memorize how it sounded….” they trailed off. “maybe you should’ve recorded it if it was something useful.”

“I even mentioned it to the building manager once, but I guess they thought it could wait because it wasn’t directly in the center of the room where everyone was,” Seulgi said with a nod. “I guess I’ll keep that in mind the next time we spring a leak.”

[srvlgi]

rvdaeseok​:

“a leak? it’s probably good it didn’t damage anything. or some poor trainee didn’t trip on it and get hurt,” daeseok commented

“It took us forever to figure out where the leak was even coming from, honestly, it was really inconspicuous.’

[srvlgi]

rvmengxia​:

“wouldn’t that be terrible, though?” meng wondered aloud. “like water torture. i feel like listening to that would drive me nuts.”

"I don't know, I was thinking it was more like... meditative than anything, but I guess that’s just me,” Seulgi said with a shrug.

[srvlgi]

rvbobby​:

chaesung rolled his eyes good-naturedly, lips pressed together so he wouldn’t laugh obnoxiously. he knew he wasn’t the smartest person in the world – honestly, that was probably sikyung – but he still had intelligent thoughts from time to time. okay, occasionally was probably a better descriptor. he pouted, exaggerating how offended he really was. “noodles don’t have muscles, though!” he protested, flexing to show off the guns he’d worked so hard to develop. 

She rolled her eyes at Chaesung’s flex. Alright, it was impressive, she’d grant him that. But she was still going to mess with him. "They do sometimes, though, haven’t you seen a ravioli? Those are tough,” Seulgi retorted with a laugh. “That’s so random, though, were they talking about that unprompted or what? I have to say I’m curious about the slander, because it can’t have been me.”

[srvlgi]

rvyooi​:

“thanks,” yue replied brightly. “you know, it’s totally something i could see you pulling off. very punk rock and alternative. perfect for a drummer.”

I think I did have something like that a long time ago, actually. I did it myself, though, so it didn’t look nearly as good.”

[srvlgi]

rvjakey​:

“that leaky ceiling has been why i haven’t been coming into work this week. that and no other reason,” jaekyung replied. really, though, why did they have to come in when reflexion wasn’t do anything? it wasn’t like they were going to forget how to drum or something.

“Personally, I wouldn’t come in if Ohkyung didn’t pick out the green gummy bears out of that candy jar. I’m not eating those candies anyway because they’re stale, but still, the green gummy bears are the worst ones,” Seulgi joked.

[srvlgi]

rvchunja​:

“it’s probably good they got it fixed though, yeah?” chunja pointed out. “i doubt it’d be good if someone slipped on it and got hurt. or if it somehow ruined some equipment or something.”

“It was kind of in a corner, it took a while for anyone to even realize it was there,” Seulgi said with a shrug. “But yeah. If it was in the middle of the practice room, those boy trainees would’ve bitten ass prepping for that one show. And they were bad enough as is.”

[srvlgi]

jangbyulrv​:

“come on, seulgi,” jangbyul said teasingly rolling her eyes. “here i thought you were a great drummer! do you really need a ceiling to make good beats for you?”

“Hey -- I am a great drummer. There’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from the universe, you know?”
