[TOD] 2-D(are): Sing a song

His hands were shaking and the cold sweat had already started on the back of his neck, creeping down his body and soaking through his clothes. That’s what it felt like, at least, like his shirt weighed ten pounds with bodily fluids and fabric. It was all in his head, he knew, but the way his hands were shaking was a good solid mirror of the weakness in his knees, which threatened to give out on him at any minute.

The small club was full. This was a test…he couldn’t fail.

Locking his knees into place, he reached up with one trembling hand to grab the mic, closing his eyes. Maybe if he couldn’t see…

“Eyes open, Tommy.”

Swallowing hard, he forced himself to open his eyes. Wide, straight ahead, boring into the first face he saw. It wasn’t as shapeless or dark as the one on the Bringer that had shot him that first night, but through the haze of raw fear gripping him it could have been Satan himself come to claim his soul.

He was going to pass out.

Behind him, the first guitar riffs rang out.

[JSI] Never study under your best friends, seriously...

Okay, so my boys like to fuck around with me. I'm an easy mark, I got it coming. I know this.

But seriously, since when do you saw a guy in half and leave him there to go to lunch? For an hour and a fucking half. And what do they bring me back? A Happy Meal. They're razzing the new kid, I know, but honestly? Sometimes I think my boys are nothing but a bunch of pricks.

Well...Benji, anyway. The Kellar boys can redeem themselves by helping me lock Ben in the goddamn Metamorphosis trunk.
