rise of the kitsune, chapter two - unto the world a band is born [1]
My OC Nina! Art by @marniemallow
(ooc)
just finished the phase 2 designs but i probably wont post them for a while bc story. you get a sneak peak of One
WHOM
noodle
murdoc
stuart
russel
as promised, heres your phase 2 noodle sneak peak 🫡
Pocket: sooo since the whole band kinda exploded there were some photos that we never really posted here.... heres some of them
russel, does noodle give the mods a hard time? mods, who's the hardest to work with?
Russel: No, not really. I think she's a lot more comfortable with them since they're all girls around her age (aside from Nina, but the cat photos won her over, I think). She did get pretty shouty with them a couple times over them having different ideas, but that was only when she was already having a hard time.
Pocket: ...probably murdoc. hes part of most of the fights, and he doesnt respect my work at all. ill spend all day figuring out a budget or a schedule for the band then he'll just piss away all the money!! and now i have to do maths!!! again!!!!!!
Nina: Murdoc. Murdoc is THE hardest to work with. Not so much that we rub wrong but that he's just a toddler in an adult man's body. Every city they've been in I've been called on because the papparazzi caught Murdoc day drinking or pissing in the street. It's like he's on a vendetta to make my life a living hell. I will say though that their last bought of Noodle taking Murdoc to court was a hard one to spin. Sure everybody LOVES in-band drama but nobody loves physical abuse, especial when the victim is a woman, but I've got my ways and also many more on keeping their name in everybody's minds during this hiatus ^_~
Aya: Stu.
Pocket: i think bobos sleeping (its nearly midnight!!) but ill let her know she can reblog with her answer when shes up!!
Bobo: Hardest to work with? Stuart. You can dress him up yourself before the show begins and he'll show up on stage with a completely different getup. It's like trying to dress an animal. Chances are, he's just going to end up naked by the end of the night anyways.
Nina~ What kitties do you have and what are they're names~?
Nina: This is my baby sushi! she's the sweetest of the bunch as she loves to lay with me and be in my lap.
Nina: This is my other baby Avocado! A shy boy but gets along with the other two. He always gets the zoomies around 8 pm.
Nina: Last but not least baby Butters. I named her that because of her color and one time I had a piece of toast on the table and when I turned around she was licking it!
russel, does noodle give the mods a hard time? mods, who's the hardest to work with?
Russel: No, not really. I think she's a lot more comfortable with them since they're all girls around her age (aside from Nina, but the cat photos won her over, I think). She did get pretty shouty with them a couple times over them having different ideas, but that was only when she was already having a hard time.

Aya: Stu.

i cannot imagine the things that nina has had to cover up for you all x.x poor her. i don't even know if i should ask what she all has done because it seems like she's doing the saint's work.
instead i'll ask what's a perk she experiences/gets while alongside strayz.
Nina: My perk is that I get to be Stu's plus 1 to events ^_~ Nah, but seriously I have a pretty good contract. I get holidays off, I have a retirement plan, dental and health insurance, AND if Strayz travel outside the country my trip is all expenses paid. They know how to treat a woman. Either that or they know a certain bassist will act up and my expertise will be called on.
dear aya, i'm a BIG fan of strayz. I've been following them since they first performed in a small hall. i LOVE what you've done with the music videos. how did you come up with the idea to use a HUGE cat in 19-2000
thank you for all you do!
aya: It was initially Murdoc's idea to use the cat as a road block, but once I told him we wouldn't actually be running them over he lost interest- By that point we were far enough along with the script we didn't have time to get another giant animal, plus we'd already paid for expedited shipping.
pocket is such a cute name. almost as cute as noodle. what's the best and worst part about managing strayz?
pocket: thank u i picked it myself 😌
best thing about managing strayz is the like. community. interacting with fans and working together with the rest of the team is so so fun and rewarding!! i dont talk to the band much (i handle business stuff with noodle) but they're all nice!! and me n bobo n aya n nina are all really good friends. its changed my life definitely!!
worst thing is uh. the violence? the noise? a lot of the time i went to the shelter some sort of fight would start. i think it was friendly sometimes, but it was very very overwhelming. it got so bad i started staying home and handling finance and stuff from my laptop at home :( russel says hell keep stuff in line better with the new album and i really hope he can bc i wanna stay!!
Meet the new Strayz Staff
Pocket is the Strayz manager, has been for a while. She honestly didn't do much, but I respect the kid. They've got a vision that I think could do a lot for us. Took a bit of work for them to agree to come back, but I promised things would be less violent. Hopefully I can actually keep that promise.
ooc: hi hi im pocket the main person behind alla this... i run the blog, write the stuff, do a lot of the art, and do a good deal of the storymakin. hell ueaj
Bobo's our stylist. She did some really great work with self titled, and I think we can credit her for a lot of our public image. She's already got a lot of ideas about the looks for this new album. I keep walking in on her giggling under her breath and looking through fashion magazines. I'm... a little worried for what she has planned.
ooc: bobo's my epic bestie and co-strayzer who does a lot of art and is my best ideas guy. shes the stylist because i am bad with male fashion and she gives me most of my ideas for stu/murdoc/russel outfits. also kinda their writing in general
Aya's our main artist. They storyboard music videos and make a lot of graphics for us. She's got this wicked style, and a real creative brain. Sometimes I just sit down to talk with her about those ideas they have. I'm telling you, she's behind a good damn chunk of the stuff people like about us.
ooc: aya irl also does a lot of art for strayz woah!! epic things shes done include making a strudel keychain and spritifying the strayz members. theyre also the number one person for me to bounce serious ideas off of and has sent many a long insightful message about the characters that has almost made me cry
(picrew by astrolavas)
Nina's the newest staff member we've got. Think she was one of Stuart's flings, back when we were still touring. But she kept hanging around, and got along with all of us (besides Murdoc). She's got a great sense of business, and her people-smarts has gotten us out of a lot of trouble. We were in some hot water with the press around when we met her, and needed a PR manager. Noodle liked her and her cats, so we offered her the job.
ooc: nina (aka sherri!) is the only new member of the strayz team since phase 1. if you've been checking the gorillaz ao3 tag, you've almost definitely seen sherri's impressive amount of strayz fanfiction. she is very awesome and provides me with endless domestic strayz ideas
hihi pocket here!!
asks are now open for the strayz staff!!
either in or out of character, as us whatever B) preferably with the name of who you're asking in the message bc ill probably answer it myself if you dont

Mornin, everyone. Glad to see we haven't been forgotten yet.
Working on seeing if we can get some of our old staff back today. Don't know why. Guess I just feel like it'll be easier to convince them.
Hope you all liked the first chapter of the book. We only got a few of em done, but I'll be posting everything we got.
While I work on that, feel free to keep asking questions. I don't know all too much about what's going on, but I'll tell you what I know.
