Behind the Scenes - All RADA Performers

[Milla Rogers]

It wasn't often that someone got to interview not one celebrity, or even one band, but several bands in a rather well-known organization. While this was the first concert for Rockstars Against Domestic Abuse, their entire tour which was only a few locations across America, was already sold out. From here, they would go to Housten, Texas. An intimidation all its own beyond Los Angeles or Death Valley. Hooking up the cameras and the microphones, Milla was set up to be feeding back live feed to the screen on stage for the fans present and to the television station for all the fans who couldn't be there.

Milla was seated when the bands started coming in to the small room, she shook hands with each of them eagerly. "Great! Why don't we all sit down then?" she instructed, sitting where she could see all of them and handing out four microphones, one for each band. She smiled slightly as her sound technitian began to count. "Alright, make yourselves beautiful!" she exclaimed before looking at the camera as it came on. "Hello again, and welcome to another edition of Behind the Scenes. I'm Milla Rogers and I am sitting backstage with a few very well known bands!"

She smiled looking around. "Joining me for this very important tour are the members of Scent of Fear, Keys Of Destruction, Waking Never, and Schrei!" She looked towards the members of Schrei. "Did I say that right?" She laughed, looking back at the camera. "This is a tour that is being used to raise awareness for a new charity known as Rockstars Against Domestic Abuse. It was started by Kristofer Sole, lead singer of Waking Never, and Sylar Bryght, bass player for Schrei." She looked towards the two of them.

"Tell me, boys... why was this such an important cause for you two to begin your own charity?" She smiled, watching the two of them. "Is it some personal connection, were either of you a victim of domestic abuse?" she asked, a frown on her face at the time. She watched the interaction between the two and wondered what was going on there. She looked around at the other members. "What made all of you decide to support this cause? For surely those in Scent of Fear or Keys of Destruction have really no connection to either Sylar or Kristofer correct?"

She smiled as if she had just realized a grevious mistake. "Oh, but I forget. Kyrian White... you have a connection both to Schrei and to Waking Never, do you not? Rumor has it that you even dated Kristofer over there for a little while, and that you've been friends with those members of Schrei since high school? Why aren't you in Schrei? And your fans want to know why you and Kris broke up." This time, she looked between Kristofer and Kyrian as if expecting one, or both of them, to answer her. "But I see we have many new relationships in the world of music, don't we?" she asked, looking around, smiling slightly.

Pulling out a paper from a clipboard on her lap, she read a note. "We took some questions from fans over the internet, and some of them are quite interesting. This question is for Reese Parker of Scent of Fear." She looked towards the dark haired male. "Tell me something, Reese. It says here that your younger sister has been getting in to drugs recently? Is this true? How do you feel about that?" she asked in a sympathetic tone. Oh yes, what an interesting night.

((I understand that all the questions is overwealming, but in order to keep this relatively quick and not exceptionally slow and hard for people to respond to, I'm giving more people more chances for responses while allowing us not to have to wait to long for certain people. Thanks! If you get confused, just PM me and let me know! I'll try to fill you in!))

[[To prevent confusion, starting at Milla, and going around in a circle, this is the seating order.

To Milla's left will sit Aria; to her left, Reese; to his left, Dae-Ho; to his left, Keith; to his left, Kyrian; to his left, Riley; and to his left, Bastien.

To Milla's right will sit Kuro; to his right, Abbey; to her right, Kris' to his right, Sylar; to his right, Jack; to his right, Phoenix; to his right, Alex; to his right, Emrys.

So the order is from left to right: Bastien - Riley - Kyrian - Keith - Dae Ho - Reese - Aria - Milla - Kuro - Abbey - Kris - Sylar - Jack - Phoenix - Alex - Emrys.]]

[Kyrian White]

We shout so loud so
that everyone can hear it.
Coming on hard like a head-on collision.

Machine like something, won't stop won't care.
Keep it all down with a
Hundred Mile Stare.

[/color]ll he could say was that he was glad that Bastien had calmed down. He'd hate to have had to draw out his damn gun in front of everyone there, but there hadn't really been time to go back for Vinny or Damien. While everyone else had been gathering in the red room, Kyrian had gone to look for his Brother, catching sight of him off to the side. "Hey, I might need your help later on with Bastien... the larger male that came in with me?" he stated softly. "He's got a bit of a temper, and we just barely got him back off of Emrys. If we hadn't, I have no doubt Alex would have tried to go to war with him and I personally don't want to know the outcome of that fight."

Nodding to the other male, he cast a wave towards Damien before heading back to the stupid interview room. Why were they doing this again? Man, why did he have to give Emrys what he wanted? Why did he want to make Kris happy? It was why he had spoken to Bastien about doing all this... stuff. He took his seat with the rest of Scent of Fear, noticing that everyone was pretty much separated into their perspective bands, save for Waking Never and Scent of fear that was side-by-side so that Kris and Sylar could be sitting together.

Sitting between Riley and Keith himself, he was pretty much the middle of the group, but he didn't think anything of it. He liked Riley, had even had a few flings with him in the past... pre-Kris, of course. But that was hardly the point. He watched as the reporter began he questions with Kris and Sylar, which made sense when both of them were the co-founders of the charity that they were all there playing for. Domestic Abuse, he himself wanted to know the answer to that question, why domestic abuse? An environmental or animal rights group would probably have suited Kris better. Hell, even an anti-war group against the war in the middle east. But domestic abuse?

When, however, then the reporter was looking towards himself and asked if he had a connection to Schrei and Waking Never. He frowned slightly, taking the microphone from Bastien. "That's true. I did date Kristofer for... a couple of weeks I think, wasn't it, Kris?" he asked, looking towards the red-head before looking back towards the reporter. "As for the other, yeah. I went to High School with some of the members of Schrei, Alex, Phoenix, and I were on the football team together. I was a year ahead of Emrys and Alex. Same year as Jack over there," he stated, smiling at the blonde. "I have to admit, I never met Sylar or Abbey until I came back from being overseas, though."

Entering the mind frame for interviews wasn't to hard. He tilted his head, thinking about the other questions. "I actually was in Schrei before I joined the military. I used to play Bass..." he stated easily. "And Kris and I broke up because... something else came up that I had to take care of. Nothing more, nothing less. I care very much about Kris, and he's part of the reason why I asked Bastien to sign up Scent of Fear for this tour. I like to think that he and I are still very much friends." Simple as that. If it hadn't been for Moxy... Kyrian had no doubt he'd still probably be with Kris.

Reese was the next victim in their band it would seem, however. He frowned at the question before offering the microphone to Reese. Picking on Reese's sister? Did the reporter have nothing better? Damn, the girl was only like... 15 if he remembered correctly. Drugs? Honestly? That would be like... asking Jack if he was in to drugs. He knew a couple of people present who did do drugs, himself included, but Reese, or anyone related to him? Doubtful. [/size][/blockquote]

[Kris Sole]

Alright, so maybe he was a little excited to do this interview shit... if not for any reason but the fact that he would get to be wacky and just have fun with it. Well, at least he hoped. Maybe this interviewer would piss him off like others had in the past...well, that would be annoying. Moving into the room and walking happily along side of Sylar, Kris plastered on a smile. Even though he was a little put off by all the cameras... and lights... ew, and microphones. Right, interviewers needed those things. Moving to grip Sylar's hand gently as the woman was moving to shake each of their hands, Kris nodded to her slightly before looking toward the seats and shrugging slightly. There was no way in hell that Sylar was going to be too far away from him...meaning that if they were going to be paired off in band groups, Schrei would have to be next to him and Jake or Aria or Max would have to be on his opposite side.

Frowning slightly as he looked around the group of people, trying to find Jake and Max, Kris shook his head slightly before sighing loudly. They would skip out on this interview and leave him with Aria for the questions. Great. Though as he was moving with Sylar toward the seats, Kris found himself sitting happily next to Sylar before dragging Abbey down on the other side of him. Her spitfire attitude could keep him a little alive...right? And after all, she'd pounce on any of the harsher questions. Like about his love life... at least, he hoped she'd pounce and Sylar wouldn't be the one getting flustered. God, he didn't need another fight tonight. Make themselves beautiful? Kris could have rolled his eyes, but instead, tugged on his hat slightly before teasingly leaning over and pulling his hand from Sylar's to ruffle the others hair affectionately before pulling back and crossing his legs lazily.

Kris couldn't help but freeze a little as the cameras came on, trying to brush it off easily by lean ing back in his chair and probably squeezing the dear life out of Sylar's hand. Stupid cameras. Though as Milla was asking if she'd pronounced Schrei correctly, Kris couldn't help but smirk slightly. Though as his name was mentioned as a founder of the charity RADA, Kris couldn't help but frown slightly. No, it wasn't because he was drawn out with the charity or even because it was mashed with Sylar's name, which he loved by the way...now, it was because his name was thrown out with his band's name at all. Whenever Kris was lumped with the title of Waking Never, he couldn't help but wince. Maybe it was just his hate for the public name. It was all about record sales and money any more...never about the music...and that really just bummed him the fuck out.

Shifting slightly as Milla asked Sylar and himself about why they'd started the charity, Kris looked toward Sylar for a second and shrugged, kind of happy that Aria and himself were the only ones having to fight over the microphone unlike Alex and Emrys who was sure to have sharing problems when it came to answering questions. Just like always. Poor Abbey, Jack and Nix... though, Kris would be more than happy to share his microphone with Sylar. Abbey even. "Well, it had a lot to do with a personal connection.." he started out seriously before squeezing Sylar's hand softly. "I mean, Domestic Abuse isn't something that people look at first unless you live it. Uh, I think that Sylar and I have both had...a kind of personal experience with it. It happens and I think that it doesn't hurt to be aware of it, even if you aren't personally involved with it, you know?" he answered easily, shrugging innocently and trying not to let anything really vital slip about either his own or Sylar's personal experiences with abuse.

Instantly stiffening slightly and biting his tongue as the woman was bringing up Kyrian's connection to Waking Never, Kris allowed the microphone to rest in his lap absently as he listened as Ky was asking if it had been a couple of weeks that they'd dated. A few long weeks....even if it had felt like a hell of a lot longer. "Yeah, I'd say a few days shy of a month." he commented softly before shrugging slightly. As if he was trying to pull it off that he didn't care too much....even though it was kind of a stab in the gut to mention it live on camera. Though as Kyrian was going on to say that 'something' had to be taken care of, Kris couldn't help but close his eyes slightly. Yeah, something being two daughters and an ex-girlfriend from high school that he knocked up because of something that the two of them had taken care of. Okay, maybe he was a little bitter... but he had a good reason to be, right? Probably not. He was happy now, that was all that really mattered anyway.

Kris couldn't help but look toward Kyrian for a second though, as he was going on to say that he still cared very much about him...and that was simply why he'd gotten involved with the tour. That they were friends. Well, one of them was bitter as hell about the inevitable, but sure, they were still friends. Bitter friends with a harsh past and some really heated memories...but friends. "I don't think that it really had to do with anything that I've heard... it didn't have to do with a fight and it sure as hell didn't have to do with abuse..." he listed off the rumors he'd heard around the rag mags lately before shrugging and keeping his eyes steady on Ky for a second before shaking his head slightly. "It was just... a complication that... well, it was better off." he concluded slowly before leaning back again and moving to take both of Sylar's hands to keep him from scratching himself. He'd scratch himself until he bled if Kris didn't stop him.

He couldn't help but wince slightly though, as Reese was questioned about drugs involving his sister though. No, Kris didn't really know Reese all that well... but any talk of drugs wasn't really a good thing. Now if Kris or Sylar or even Jake or Ky was asked about drugs, they wouldn't have anything to say...but Reese's sister? Damn, how was it that his family had been dragged into this? Poor Reese.

Hey EVERYONE, this one's for you. Kris is wearing this and the thread template was made by GREEN EGGS AND SAM! of caution 2.0 and the lyrics in the text are from nevershoutnever.

Reese couldn't help but feel a little awkward going into the interviews. Anyone who met him would know he was the quiet kid who sat in the corner and just watched everything. Sure, he could be really outgoing and loud at certain times, but mostly he just was the chill kid in the group. He was the one everyone came to to talk to about anything bugging them, because he'd just listen and offer advice where it was needed. He didn't like confrontation at all, which made the idea of the interview a bit challenging. He hoped he was enough under the radar to not get any intense questions. He doubted there'd be a ton for him, but some reporters would think of anything in order to mess up the person being interviewed. And somehow, he had a feeling he'd end up just feeling so neurotic about the whole thing, that he'd psych himself out for absolutely no reason. Which, in all honesty, was really stupid, and he shouldn't be worried.

He followed the rest of his band, as well as the other bands, into the interview area. He took a seat next to Aria, leaning back in the seat and crossing his arms over his chest. He wanted to look uninterested, and perhaps invisible. At least that's what he was hoping. He listened as the interviews started. Sylar and Kris were first, which made sense. They had come up with the idea first, so it was only natural that they'd get the first question. He wasn't immune to the knowledge of what the benefit was actually for, but he hadn't tried to know any more than necessary. And so far that seemed like a good thing. All in all, it seemed like the questions being asked were serious, and not at all invasive. He listened as Kris answered the questions being asked. He knew Kris was really happy with the turn out for the concert, and even though the boy probably wouldn't say it out loud, he knew that somewhere inside, Kris was incredibly proud and in debt to everyone who wanted to offer their support.

The interview was going pretty well until Reese heard the woman call out Kyrian on the fact he used to date Kris. There was the annoying sort of questions he was hoping to avoid. And he really hoped that the lady didn't tick Ky off too much. It wasn't usually a good thing to piss off an ex-marine. Good things never came of it.
He chewed on his lower lip lightly, pushing his glasses back up the bridge of his nose. He really wished he has re-ordered his contacts right about now. He knew he needed them. He literally could not see three feet in front of his face if he wasn't wearing his glasses or his contacts. He was surprised they hadn't classified him as legally blind yet. But nope. He just got really expensive bills from the eye doctor to get what he needed to see. But hopefully, his glasses wouldn't be mentioned. Almost every photo of him out there was when he was wearing contacts. So it wasn't often that he was out in public with his glasses on. But so far, no one really seemed to care.

He was off in his own world for a few minutes until he heard a shrill female voice speak his name. He sat a bit straighter in his seat as he listened to the question that came out of her mouth. And immediately he wanted to just get up and leave. His baby blue eyes got a bit darker as he took the microphone that Ky handed him. He didn't even know where to start with that. "Well, to be honest, I don't know who the hell started that rumor, but I'm well prepared to kick their ass. Andy knows that if she ever did anything drug related, she'd have hell to pay." He paused for a second before continuing. "Look, if you ask anyone, I'm not a violent person. And I know you're just doing your job and all that. But if you twist any of this against my sister, I'll fucking sue you for all you're worth." He pursed his lips together, and quickly passed the microphone on before he decided to squeeze the life out of it. He knew that he might be getting so amazed looks after that little outburst.

But he was extremely protective over Andy, and he was going to be damned if he let anyone make up rumors about her. Especially ridiculous ones like that. Who in their right mind would do that!? Well, anyone could. But it had to be someone who wanted him to get pissed off for whatever reason. Which confused him. He wasn't loud enough or rude enough to make a lot of enemies. Then again, it could also just be a big mistake and they thought they saw his sister with drugs, when it was really just something innocent. He sat back against his seat, not wanting to talk anymore. If that was only the first question being asked to him, he didn't want a part in any of the rest of it. If they wanted to ask him questions like that, they could go off and screw themselves for all he cared. He was okay answering things pertaining to him, and only him, but not if they dealt with his family. That was something he wouldn't stand for.

[Milla Rogers]

Milla was a bit anxious for some of the answers to the questions that she had. She had some of her own, naturally, and of course some more different questions on cards from different fans of each of the bands. How exciting! She leaned over Abbey to see Kris better, smiling slightly at the red-haired male as he was the first one to speak and stating that it had a lot to do with personal connection. Interesting. She looked between him and Sylar before looking towards Kris as he stated that both he and Sylar had a connection with domestic abuse and she gave them a sympathetic look.

"I think that sometimes its hard, especially for celebrities, to confess such things, and it helps for those who suffer from the same thing to better see what could be instead of what is. I think that you two are doing a very good service and I commend you for sharing with us." She smiled slightly before looking towards Kyrian as he answered next. She smiled at the blond. He was rather attractive. Ah yes, that's right, he had been in the armed forces, he wasn't just wearing that marine shirt for nothing. Interesting, she scribbled something down on her notepad at that point before looking towards him.

"That's really interesting. So when you got back from overseas... were you surprised to find that the members of Schrei had replaced you with someone else?" She looked towards the group. "Sylar, I believe, plays the bass, yes?" she asked before looking back at Kyrian. "How interesting. So they got Sylar to take your place in the band, is it awkward for you that this person who replaced you in Schrei is now also snuggled up to your ex-boyfriend?" She smiled brightly, looking at him before Reese was answering his question. Ooh, she'd struck a nerve. "I'm simply reading off the questions that were given to me, Mr. Parker, no reason for hostility, this is a peaceful gathering, after all."

Perhaps a switch in subject? "Mr. Parker, do you have any current loves besides music? There have been a few rumors about you and some of the members of your band, are any of those true?" she asked, grinning slightly. Relationships, scandels, anything she could get her hands on was priceless gold to her. She moved away from Reese at this point, directing her attention to some of the other people that were present. "Riley Bruno," she stated, grinning at him. "So, I've recently heard that you're dating a Chase Collins who works for Aurora Records, is that true? You don't seem to have many relationships that last very long, why is that? Do you just not like commitment...?"

Oh yes, this was entirely to fun. Her attention turned then towards the members of Schrei. Looking down at her notepad she smiled. "Emrys Daelan," she stated, looking towards the male with the lion's mane. "I think the most obvious question at this point would be for me to ask you about that outrageous hair-do. How do you get your hair like that? And why do you choose that particular style?" she stated before looking towards Alex afterwards. "And a fan wants to know of Alexander Daelan," she looked down at the card and spoke in to her microphone. "Why do you appear to be Emrys's shadow all the time?" She looked back at Alex. "Are you afraid for your brother's safety?" she asked before noticing that the male actually had his arm around Emrys. "Even now you seem to be a bit protective of him. Why is that, Alex?"

"Also, Sylar, do you not think that perhaps starting your own charity could be difficult given your situation? Not many people like to support charities started by people who have drug problems, and I see here that you've not only been in trouble with the law for possession, but also have overdosed a couple of times on pills... would you like to comment on that?" She smiled brightly at him. She looked towards Kris who was currently holding on to Sylar's hands and she gave him a sympathetic look. "You have a nervous habit then? I suppose we all do, don't we? Why are you nervous, Sylar?"

[Sylar Bryght]

We climb the mountains
Walk the deserts
For our Love

Let's make a pact tonight
So we can feel
This pain of love forever

Here he was, heading back in to that stupid interview room with Kris. Why were they doing interviews again? He hadn't agreed to this! His hand was tight on Kris's as they walked in. He hated cameras and interviews. God, and it was so bright in here, he couldn't just stick to the back of the group like he usually did. He wanted to whine. Pressing himself a bit more against Kris as they entered, he avoided the gaze of the reporter and didn't bother to shake her hand. He damn sure wasn't there to make friends.

In a moment, though, he was seated between Kristofer... and Jack. He kept his grip on Kristofer's hand as Kris was handed a microphone before lowering his gaze slightly, taking great interest in their hands. He trailed his fingers over the other's skin before his free hand was absently scratching at his arm. The first question was asked, and Sylar was glad that Kris was answering for him. Personal connection to domestic abuse. Definately. And his poor Kristofer... Kristofer didn't deserve what he knew Kassie had done to him. Didn't deserve to be kicked out of his home.

Damn those bastards. He tried to ignore Kyrian's cocky voice as he was asked about his relationship, or lack thereof, with Kristofer. It didn't matter, Kris belonged to him. Kris would always belong to him, because Sylar wasn't going to be stupid enough to break up with him. He was there until Kris wanted him gone, and he seriously hoped that wasn't any time soon. Even if he was a bit clingy. He could hardly stand not touching Kris anymore, it was like... almost like his previous need for his pills. Now... it was Kristofer. If he wasn't around Kristofer for an extended period, he got fidgety. All he wanted to do was curl up and die and wait for Kris's kiss to awaken him.

Dragging his nails over his skin, he gave a soft whine as Kris took his free hand in to his own and wasn't allowing him to scratch himself. He finally picked his head up to look at the gorgeous male beside of him and stuck out his lower lip slightly in protest. He rested his head on the other's shoulder lightly, phasing out the voices of everyone else until that reporter was saying his name. He opened his eyes and noticed that the reporter was... taunting Kyrian. Sylar gave a small private smile. She said what he wanted to and couldn't for fear of upsetting his beautiful Kristofer.

Even her jabs towards the other members of Scent of Fear weren't as good. Though as she turned to Schrei, Sylar tried to pay attention to make sure she didn't insult one of his friends. Unacceptable. He tensed slightly at the question to Alex and sighed. He should have guessed... many fans had probably already guessed the answer to that question, but Sylar was concerned about how Alex would answer that question. When he was approached again, his attention moved to the reporter, frowning when he didn't really understand. His situation? Oh. His face fell blank.

"Next question," he stated softly, closing his eyes and averting his face, head still resting on Kris's shoulder. He frowned as she continued on. "Comment on what? The pharmacy fucked up on my perscription. Yeah, I have to take meds, what American doesn't these days? Get off my fucking back about it," he growled softly before looking down at the hands Kris still held. "Next question," he stated again, burying his face against Kristofer. God he hated interviews!
