Welcome friends, to the first non-competitive jam session of the Illusion Stadium! First here are somethings you need to know: - There is no restriction to number of entries, so long as you wait your turn!
- A song may only be submitted once, so before you preform, okay the song with me or Mechanical-Menace via PM.
- Don't be afraid to ask for back up from another character, even one from another realm!
- Before the next person preforms, there will be a 45 minute wait period to give listeners a chance to provide opinions or comments.
- Have fun showing off!
Remember, try to pick the best song for their ability and personality, as listeners may give you karma for excellent performance! Also, I will provide an introduction of each character before the performance, so include that in your PM too  First up: Alex Faith, performing Perfect by Flyleaf Alex has had along past in singing, as most of her childhood was filled with music and singing lessons. She has a wider range than most girls, being able to hit the higher end of a low tenor and the highest end of the soprano range. However, she is rather cocky and if she trys to get fancy on stange, she will almost always hurt herself. Please welcome, Alex Faith! |

Alex walked up on stange and took a rather flashy bow, nearly falling on her face. "I really need to stop that." She said with a laugh, detatching the microphone from it's stand. After clearing her throat, she cued for the wordless music to start, and she began. Sick of circling the same road
Sick of bearing the guilt
So open the windows to cool off
And heat pours in instead
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
All my efforts to clean me
Leave me putrid and filthy
And how can you look at me
When I can't stand myself
I'm tired to be honest
I'm nobody
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone
I tried to kill you
You tried to save me
You save me
You save me
You save me
You save me
Perfect in weakness
I'm only perfect in just your strength alone
Perfect in weakness
I'm only running in just your strength alone After the last note, She replaced the microphone and bowed again, less flashy. |

"Don't trip, sweetheart!" heckled Stark from the rafters, hanging upside down as always.
-------
"Good job, Alex!" cheered Ray.

Up next we have Stark and Remej preforming Gematria (The Killing Name) by Slipknot!
Remej and Stark are both sevens in their own right. One from the Organization and the other from the Eternal Black. Their Somebody, Jeremy, used to be the singer and electric guitarist for a death metal band. They both retain half of the original's abilities each. Stark has the voice and lungs, and Remej the guitar skills. Please welcome, Stark and Remej!

The two halves took the stage. Stark instantly stood by the mic and Remej hooked up his guitar. Dusks and Shadows took over the leftover positions. Stark removed his signature smile and Remej closed his eyes as he flipped the pick in his fingers, a trait retained from their Somebody. 12/08/73, that was all I got and now you got me
All I ever really wanted was to take the blame
I will go down in history and not down in flames
Meningitis, I will survive this
Dry sockets and a schizophrenic crisis
The time of the nine has begun
Get out of the way or you will suffer as one
This is so typical, apocalyptical
Hanging on abysmal release, Jesus
I don't need this, don't wanna be this
Icon in the making, my hands are fucking shaking
What if God doesn't care?
What if God doesn't care?
Remember, surrender, the time is now
Continue, we're in you
And we will burn your cities down
America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down
What if God doesn't care?
What if God doesn't care?
America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down
Down, we will burn your cities down
We will burn your cities down
We will burn your cities down
Feed the hungry, feed them shit
Feed them bones and politics
You wanna revolutionize?
Be specific and believe your eyes
Start a war in another backyard
And we'll destroy your house of cards
Give me a minute and I'll change your mind
Give me a bullet and I'll change your life
Remember, surrender, the time is now
Continue, we're in you
And we will burn your cities down
America is a killing name
It doesn't feel or discriminate
Life is just a killing field
It's all that's left, nothing's real
Throw away your disposable past
And fall apart like a cigarette ash
We are the fatal and vital ones of the world
And we will burn your cities down
Down, down, we will burn your cities down
Down, down, down, we will burn your cities down
America, what if God doesn't care? Although the lesser Nobodies and Heartless helped, they paled in comparison to the two sevens. After the song was over, Stark regained his smile and Remej flipped the pick around some more and the two bowed. |

"Hell yeah! Go Stark!" Void shouted at the top of her lungs. "Damn, I had no idea he could sing like that..."
~~~~
The normally timid Zalsolin jummped up, cheering for Remej louder than anyone there.
~~~~
"Huh, who knew, Heartless that can sing and Nobodies that can play." Laughed Alex.

Up next: Lucidus and Kaz with Welcome to the Family by Avenged Sevenfold
Lucidus' had always admired the heavy metal and screamo bands, even as a somebody, because of their abilities to manipulate their voices is ways some thought impossible. He was been imitating those voices since his somebody was 8 years old.
Kaz is another story. He came by drumming naturally. He never took lessons and just beat on whatever he could find that made a nice sound and created his own beats.
Please welcome Luz and Kaz!

Lucidus walked onto the stage wearing his hair in black spikes that are tinged at the tips with a dark reddish color. "This goes out to everyone with a troubled past or anyone who likes to just plain rock." Kaz walked on after him. No shirt, tattered jeans, his hair pulled back in a tight ponytail, to keep his hair out of his face. He performed a quick beat before nodding to Luz and the other musicians. Hey kids! (hey kids)
Do I have your attention?
I know the way you've been living
Life's so reckless, tragedy endless
Welcome to the family
Hey!
There's something missing
Only time will alter your vision
Never in question, lethal injection
Welcome to the family
Not long ago you'd find the answers were so crystal clear
Within a day you found yourself living in constant fear
Can you look at yourself now?
Can you look at yourself?
You can't win this fight
And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb and
Our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside,
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight!
Hey kids!
I have to question
What's with the violent aggression?
Details blurry, lost him too early
Welcome to the family
Hey!
Why won't you listen?
Can't help the people you're missing
It's been done, a casualty re-run
Welcome to the family
I try and help you with the things that can't be justified
I need to warn you that there is no way to rationalize
So have you figured it out now?
So have you figured it out?
You can't win this fight
And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb and
Our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside,
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight!
Gunning for you and all mankind,
I've lost my mind
Psychotic rabid dementia
I won't be fine
I see, you're a king who's been dethroned
Cast out, in a world you've never known
Stand down, place your weapons by your side
It's our war, in the end we'll surely lose but that's alright!
So have you figured it out now?
So have you figured it out?
And in a way it seems there's no one to call
When our thoughts are so numb and
Our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside,
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight
Deep inside,
where nothing's fine
I lost my mind
You're not invited,
so step aside
I've lost my,
Deep inside,
where nothing's fine
I lost my mind
You're not invited,
so step aside
I've lost my... The stage lights go black at the last word and they all leave the stage, leaving silence behind them. |

"No offense, No. Two, but I've heard better." called Stark from his place in the rafters.

Mirage jumped up on stage and grabbed the mic, his Heartless starting the music as soon as he was up there. Kill your enemies,
My brothers dead around me!
Wounds are hurting
Death is creeping for me!
Smoke is blinding!
Hearts are pounding!
Chaos soon ignites
The call is made, it's one for all!
Will I meet thy maker?
[Pre-chorus (x3):]
Over the top, over the top!
Right now, it's killing time!
Over the top, over the top!
The only way out is to die!
[Chorus (x2):]
God has spoken through his conscience!
As I scream, aim and fire!
The death toll grows higher!
(Jump!)
Fuck this battlefield!
The bullets shatter 'round me!
Bodies falling,
Voices calling for me!
Limbs are flying!
Men are crying!
Such a hurtful sight!
The call is made, it's one for all!
Take no prisoners!
[Pre-chorus x3]
[Chorus x2]
[Breakdown (x2):]
SCREAM!!
AIM!!
FIRE!!!
[Solo - Padget]
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
[Shotgun Cocks]
SCREAM!!
AIM!!
FIRE!!! Mirage replaced the microphone and took a bow. |

"I don't know," Yani said to Stark, "I thought it was pretty good, considering the song choice."

Next, Ray Cozart singing an acoustic version of So Far Away by Staind!
Ray, a red-head native of Radiant Garden who's trying to remember what's happened to him. In his free time as a youth, he practiced acoustic guitar almost religiously, now, it's time to see if that practice amounted to anything.
Please welcome, Ray Cozart!
