im sorry this took a while to push out ive been pretty busy (pushes art under the bed with my foot) 😭 butttt this is a long one so please enjoy! hcs under the cut!!!
The Seating Chart
The Living Room
Beverly: Trombone
• she started when she was younger because she thought the sliding valve was funny
• struggles a bit with keeping the instrument up parallel to the ground (i dont blame her, I've held that shit and it can be tiring)
• Likes to hang with Hector, Rainey and Abel after rehearsals
• Sometimes practices outside of rehearsals with Rainey, Kopi and Abel
• Sometimes plays at the bars that Eddie and Volt work at on days where she's feeling it
• Has shown up to rehearsals hungover before and gotten sick (only once though, mutual secrecy with Hector)
• Has been trying to get Hector into the jazz ensemble for a while now
• Her first piece in the jazz ensemble was Fracas by Randall Stanbridge. She loves it
• Tea before more demanding pieces always calms her tremors down
• Always giggling whenever shes next to Jean Lou, hand on mouth trying to be quiet
• One of the worst people to make eye contact with whenever Sassy Chap or anyone is crashing out
Cabrizzio: Mandolin, Clarinet
• Don't look at him whenever his clarinet squeaks. Just dont
• He waits for the day there is a Mandolin part in his music
• Adores ballets
• Has serenaded someone with the mandolin before
• Vanilla flavored reed..
• Gives flowers to his section alongside Prissy, and receives just as much from the audience
• The type of guy to go 'no, like this!' when showing you how to do something. Most of the time its genuinely helpful
• pronounces the FUCK out of dynamics. Hank 5 and Hank 2 share a sound board that includes these instances and my god when its quiet and you just hear 'MEZZFORRTE' and make eye contact with someone it's actual hell to stay quiet (of course, a bit exaggerated but like... come on)
• Can seriously get down with the mandolin, and will attempt to write his own part into music for fun
• Loved On An Evening In Roma by Dean Martin. He personally picked that piece for the jazz ensemble
Cam: Percussion
• Couldnt give less of a fuck about this but hey it pays
• Is best on the drumset, like Justin Bieber levels of good.
• doesn't shut up on snare even after the conductor stops for a moment
• got dragged into marching band somehow
• Chronic half time truther
• You can see a brief smile on his face after concerts
• If he had to pick a concert piece that he liked doing drums for, its Everything Beautiful by Samuel R. Hazo (surprisingly enough, but dont comment abt that)
• Did the drum solo for Cruising? For a Bluessin? by Maynard Ferguson
• Can clean up really nice for performances, even though he's in the back and he doesn't really as much as others
• that isn't to say that he doesn't truly care, he does care. He's just more laid back, but cares enough where he does get stress on some pieces
• Had his own 'What about bob' moment with a raccoon showing up continously at the worst moments possible, mainly at rehearsals. How the raccoon gets in? No one knows.
• The raccoon is named Asphalt Roach Spicylicious
Daisuke Dishware: Viola
• Probably one of the most quietest in the entire orchestra
• its okay to lighten up sometimes my guy
• Is one of the few people in the orchestra who needs to be convinced to decorate their instrument during holiday cycles
• Makes it a point to take the best care of his viola, but honestly as everyone should
• the most unsuspecting member of the 'Instrument Closet club' (who he got that title with? No one but Maggie knows)
• A strong believer in the 'Macbeth' superstition as he was a victim of it at one point. The result? He got mono the day before he had a solo
• Don't know where he is? Break a bit of your instrument and listen closely for a small gasp
• Hes the one to tell Hank 4 to lower his volume when speaking.
• he and Amir are neck at neck for best hair for performances when it comes to the male performers. its more a fun inside joke between some of the other performers on who will eat the other up more
• he isnt an absolute stick in the mud to be fair, he just is very dedicated and takes this shit seriously. He only really winds down a bit right after concerts where he is open to getting some drinks and small celebrations with Cabrizzio, Monique, Timothy and Mitchell Linn
Dishy: Sarrusophone
• of course he'd play the one obscure instrument
• Secretly gets peeved whenever he has the same part as another section yet the director always forgets to mention his instrument when going over that part during rehearsals (my personal experience playing the oboe)
• He gets annoyed when there isn't a part for sarrusophone in the music, so he usually writes it himself
• Say what you want about Realized Dishy, when he pulls up to the concert looking nice, he looks NICE
• Hair is done, formal dress...and a stupidly dumb yet earnest tie
• His instrument always smells disturbingly clean..like, to the point you question how he cleans it
• He and I Ronaldini sometimes go out for coffee before rehearsals
• He may be a bit unnerving, but he does care a lot for the orchestra and everyone in it.
• He always has water bottles on him if needed
Freddy Yeti: Bari Saxophone
• There is an ongoing bet on if he's an angry or more emotional crash out. He's aware and doesn't know how to feel about it
• Jolly asf whenever they play a jazz pieces
• His teeth make him almost unable to play the flute, much to his disappointment
• Silent fist pump whenever the orchestra does a more energetic piece by John Mackey or Randall Stanbridge
• Dancing in his seat during Moanin' by Mingus Big Band like no one was watching
• a fan of Count Basie..like, he got maybe 2 vinyls at home
• As humble as he may be, he does admit that he likes to show off sometimes
• Sometimes goes for gelato with Penelope and/or Mitchell Linn after rougher rehearsals
• You ever seen someone easily carry a loaded Bari sax case easily? Now you have

Friar Errol: Viola
• previous history of beating Hank 4 with his bow and shoulder rest
• silent beef with Abel
• more beef with Stefan
• The most excited about playing hymns
• That guy who doesn't think that any orchestra versions of more modern songs/music is actual orchestra music
• The actual prissy snob you think of when you think of someone who's in an orchestra
• Wrinkles his nose at the idea of the instrument closet club..how unprofessional!..Secretly he understands the appeal, but he'll never admit that
• Genuinely the most PERFECT person to sing Frollos part of Hellfire from The Hunchback of Notre Dame if the orchestra performs it.
• If a chorus is involved in a performance, most of the time Friar helps out with organization (say what you want, my boy can run a choir like its Sister Act if needed and my god, does he get jiggy with it on his best days..in his own way)
Gaia: Trumpet
• if Dunk isn't playing, then you're probably hearing Gaia
• lovessss playing more cultural pieces, like she'll look up the composer and the inspiration and story behind each piece. It's really fun
• Has some Randall Stanbridge pieces on her Playlist
• She played the FUCK out of Brooklyn by Youngblood Brass Band with Hank 1
• Although shes open to a lot of music genres, she cant bring herself to like experimental music
• Has the cutest selfies with her section (and best tired ones from when they're traveling by bus or plane somewhere)
• Chronic waver to the audience
• Always asking about other instruments and how they work
• Gets some terms and names for dynamics and instruments wrong sometimes
• Before rehearsals, she likes to hang out in the Percussion section for a bit to check out more cultural instruments, such as the Gankogui, Djembe, Guiro and other instruments
• Either over-prepares or under-prepares for conerts (ESPECIALLY if its one that involves a trip somewhere far)
I Ronaldini: Viola
• most uncomfortable eye contact with the conductor
• Stand partners with Friar.. Ronaldini can never keep the music in one place
• Listening to just him and Lady Memoria play makes you feel as though you're apart of upper class society
• Keeps whatever smaller things he needs in his hat
• Always gets sick after concerts for some reason
• For some reason I think he'd really like the Nutcracker
• take the hat OFFFFFFF people can't see the conductor omfg
• Plaid tie. Always a hit or miss
• On days where he cant find a sitter for his bunny, Sassy Chap allows him to bring the bunny to rehearsals (with the proper equipment and enclosement for the few hours)

• Unless she is on her death bed, writing her will, vomiting into next week and boiling alive from a fever, 80% of the time, she takes the piano solos
• Enjoys a nice tea break with Textbox Chan after rehearsals
• Can be spotted chirping away with Volt or Textbox chan when the conductor is focusing on a different section
• One of the last people to leave the rehearsal room when practicing
• A lot of people dont know that she always has gum on her. You wouldnt expect it from her tbh if youre not that close with her

• She isnt aware that she is already in the gc tho 😭

• Every once in a while, she accidentally forgets her water and brings coffee.

• When the coquette trend was more popular, she had little brown, white and pink ribbons on her clarinet. Sometimes she puts them on her instrument if the concert shes in will def have a lot of kids in the audience
• Funnily enough, Sassy Chap is one of her most frequent customers on days where she isnt at rehearsal and is around her barista job
• She and Beverly sometimes pregame together before a concert
• She records for Beverly during jazz ensemble performances
Luke Nukem: Trombone
• One of the more dedicated members

• Never catch them looking dead tired while traveling for away-concerts
• Gaia has done so once
• Live streams during the concert..somehow got a camera recording JUST them while they have their phone on their stand
• Shares a blog with Phoneicia
• Because of their leg brace, they sometimes need to use a chair during rehearsals (which is one of the things they like most about the orchestra let's be real)
• Say what you want about them being..them, their area in their section is ALWAYS super clean. Maybe messy with their bag? Sure, but will you get sick from being near them? Absolutely not
• "Oh that's..." if someone messes up during a song
Maggie Glassbury: French horn
• one time her glasses broke during rehearsal when Nightmare was playing. Luckily she had an extra pair in her bag
• The type to look at you if you made an obvious wrong note or came in at the wrong time. She cant help herself, she just TURNS to whoever did it on instinct
• Has written a few mystery novels while listening to the jazz ensemble play at the Breaker Box (bar that Eddie and Volt do part time at in this au)
• Doesn't like having fingerprints all over her instrument. That thing will ALWAYS be shiny no matter what
• She would have joined the jazz ensemble if it weren't for the fact that she prefers to listen to them play
• Her french horn is probably rose gold or a more silver shade
• If youre sitting next to her, you can hear her foot tapping to the time signature over the more quiet parts of the music
• She's usually the one who knows who hooked up with who in the instrument closet.. some people arent exactly good at hiding the fact that they made a mess and cleaned sloppily, or at hiding any tension the next day

• Reads reviews of performances after a concert as if he's announcing the royal decree

• Unironically loves the Ratatouille soundtrack and suggested it to Sassy Chap
Rainey: Alto saxophone, Violin

Scandalabra: Violin, Harpsichord

• moving all around in his seat when playing as if its for the royal court
• Is in a group chat with Rebel, Reggie and Tina where they all share bad photos of people mid-performance and just gossip
• I swear, Jon Wick levels of focus came out when he played Carmen's Habanera

• His favorite classical artist is Vivaldi
• People DO sign up for him to help with hair for the concert, but he isn't as popular as Barry
• Won't shut up about the fact that he did do some music for Bridgerton
• Can shred on the harpsichord if asked. That's not Scandalabra though, that's Jon Wick, surprisingly
• Has had his hair slicked back and was without his usual makeup or more stylish attire (Jon Wick style) when he was low on time for getting ready for a concert once. He secretly loves the photos that were taken even if he was ever so slightly embarrassed for being so.. real
Stefan: Viola, Guitar
• Was taught by Miranda how to play the guitar well enough to play it in the ensemble
• Former stand partners with Friar, now is partners with Harper

• The guitar helps with cooling off sometimes
• Everyone's always asking for some of his lunch during breaks because he brings food from home. Only Miranda and Luke have been successful so far due to bias
• Gets reallyyyy into the music, like, really into it and does not like it when the orchestra is stopped in the middle of a piece, even if its to fix something (he's do real for that though)
• ..because of this, he has a small grudge against Hank 4 as much as he does respect him for being a truly great violist.. and the epitome of 'lights are dimmed and someone might be home'
• He's in charge of the BBQ's and parties for celebrating a good concert cycle, especially in the summer
• He takes everything very seriously. He can appreciate a joke during rehearsal, but other than that, he's about always locked in during rehearsals

• You know the orchestra fucked up badly if he just walks out without a word
I really want to make a date everything roleplay account, but im not sure which character I should be? The characters that I love/I think I could roelplay easier already have lots of accounts dedicated to them, I know I still can make accounts even if they’re popular but idk. I wanna make a Beverly one but I’m not really sure how to like do her character idk, I might make a Mac one instead..
Still thinking about the homeowner’s birthday. This time specifically about how their first birthday after getting the dateviators would go (assuming their birthday happens before they realize anyone/all of them). Definitely a bit more chaotic (or at least a different type of chaotic) than they are used to.
I do have a few ideas for how I think somethings might play out. None of these are fully thought out, just simple/base thoughts. (Also, this is assuming they have at least a friend ending with the characters, or are on track for a good ending.) Gonna be sticking to canon characters for now, might do one with my OCs at a later date.
These are in no particular/specific order besides as they came to mind:
- As soon as they try to talk to the Hanks they are gonna be knocked over in a big hug/dogpile, accompanied by a chorus of the Hanks yelling happy birthday.
- In general I see a lot of hugs happening.
- Both Kopi and Beverly probably have special drinks they’d make for the homeowner. Maybe Kopi has a coffee that tastes like the homeowner’s favorite cake. Can’t think of anything specific for Beverly besides it definitely being a sweet drink be it an actual alcoholic beverage or a mocktail (I’m not that big on alcohol, so my lack of knowledge has my drawing blanks).
- Special birthday breakfast! Mainly taken care of by Stefan, but everyone else in the kitchen got to have some sort of input on it (and it did turn out great). And maybe it is served on a special set of dishes Daisuke has saved for special occasions (and yes, the homeowner’s birthday is considered a special occasion).
- Chance has a special oneshot planned for the homeowner’s birthday if they’d like to play.
- Someone (I’m thinking Teddy though not 100% sure) plans a small birthday party for the homeowner. The party is held in the Breaker Box (because I said so, but also that just seems like the best option atm).
- Speaking of the Breaker Box, I like to imagine Eddie has the homeowner’s absolute favorite drink ready almost as soon as they step inside (like with Beverly, it could be alcoholic or a mocktail).
And that is all the ideas I had for this one. Hope yall liked it! Feel free to give your input! I’d love to see what y’all think. (And please, feel free to include your OCs, everyone’s OCs are so freaking cool and I love learning about them!)
