Theme Song
Yes, I understand that every life must end, uh-huh
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh
Oh I'm a lucky man, to count on both hands the ones I love
Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they've got none

Stay with me...
Let's just breathe...

Appearance:
Tansy is a small girl with an average size body, she stands at five foot three and weighs 125 pounds. She’s not stick thin, she has a curvy body, that tends to make her look heavy then she is, but she isn’t exactly obsessed with looking like a runway model. She has long, chestnut hair, with random blonde streaks throughout; she normally wears her hair naturally in loose curls. She has fair skin, that she absolutely adores. Her eyes are a very unique greenish yellow, that people tend to stare at longer then they mean to. She has her nose pierced and often wears a nose ring. She also has a very large, detailed rose tattoo on her shoulder. She is almost always wearing loose dresses, fishnets/nylons, and her favorite pair of lace up black boots that are usually never laced up. She loves hoods and beanies.

Phobias:
- She’s terrified of flying.

Personality:
If their is one thing anyone knows about Tansy, it's that she doesn't take life for granted, she points out things that other tend to miss and she lives for the little moments, she's convinced they make for the best memories.. She tends to keep to herself, rather than involve herself in things that she feels aren’t important. She is very loyal to those who she considers her friends and she will have your back till the end. She’s the type of girl everyone comes to for advice, because she is far wiser than she should be. She is probably the most mature member of the band and sometimes can come across to others as bitchy or stuck up, but that’s not at all the case and she hates when people judge her before they know her. She is completely satisfied with who she is, she loves her body and is very confident. She doesn’t care what people think or say about her. Music is her life and she’s not sure she could fully exist without it. Tansy doesn’t trust people easily, in fact it’s safe to say it may take a long time before she fully trusts you. She can read people very well, whether or not their being genuine or fake. She’s not afraid to state her option and stand up for what she thinks is right. She's never had much luck with love, guys always seem to take advantage of her kindness and end up using her and leaving her feeling like it was something she did. She's the type of person that gives and expects nothing in return, she would die for those she loves.

Favorite music:
Tansy adores piano pieces more than anything, which doesn’t exactly match her outward appearance. She also loves Post-Hardcore, emo, and scremo music. She loves ballades. She tends to listen to rap sometimes but she has to be in the mood. She also enjoys Progressive house, electro house, drum and bass, dubstep, synthpop. Mostly because it's what she does.

Least Favorite music:
She will literally listen to anything EXCEPT Pop or Country, she hates these genres with a passion. NO Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, KeSha, Taylor Swift, or Hunter Hayes. She’d much rather kill herself.

Background:
Born and raised in San Diego, California. Tansy was living every girls dream, her parents were rich and growing up she had everything she wanted, except for her parents. She spend most of her younger years being raised by her nanny, whom became like a mother to her, until she was old enough to stay home alone. She spend most of her days after school on the beach playing volley ball with friends and going to parties, being the normal rebellious teenager. Then one day everything crashed and burned. Her life went from okay to tragic. At fifteen she was diagnosed with cancer, she was told she would have to undergo extensive chemo therapy. She needed something to keep her from all her suicidal thoughts, she became interested in piano’s and from their opened a whole new world of sounds and creations. She became obsessed with synthesizing and she was pretty damn good at it. After a year of endless doctor visits and completely losing all her hair, she was dubbed cancer free, but she wasn’t completely home safe, she was told the cancer could come back at any time. She found herself playing with friends and eventually they had formed a band.

So begins...

Tansy long hair whipped in the salty early morning San Diego air as she glided down the wharf on her long board. Her neon yellow beats resting around her neck as they blared her favorite Krewella song. She moved her long board to the beat of the music, enjoying the morning. She’d gotten up before the sun, like most mornings to watch the sunrise. For once she wasn’t in a dress, instead she wore torn black shorts, a purple tank top, floral fishnet, her black high-top converse, complete with a purple beanie she had designed herself with the band’s name on it.

“Hey Lux? Today the big day?” a familiar voice asked causing her slow down and come to a stop in front of an older man.

“Yes sir.” She smiled happily, music still blaring from her head phones. After three years straight of her daily watch the sunrise, ride her long board down the wharf, stop for Ice cream at Granny’s Goddies, and head home she had gotten to know a lot of the older locals.

“Well, just don’t forget me when you get all famous. Don’t let those shiny bright lights change you, you hear.” He teased a bit.

“Wouldn’t dream of it Andy.” She said and with that she was off again.

She felt her bright yellow sidekick vibrate in her pocket, pulling it out she read a text from Milo: "leaving! leaving! ill pick you guys up one at a time, who's first?" this made her smile, she loved her band mates and the thought of their first actual tour was completely surreal to her. She began typing a response:

Wow, you’re up early :P I’m ready whenever, I’ve been packed since last weekend.
See you soon, Love ya
Lux


She sent the message, coming to a stop outside her favorite local creamery. She placed her board against the wall outside before heading inside to get her usual, cookie dough ice cream with extra cookie dough.

Skylar walked down stairs and set her heavy suitcase down by the kitchen door. She lit up a 'ciggie' as she called them even though she wasn't allowed to smoke in the house. She only smoked because every one told her not to her whole life. She sat down at the kitchen table with a sigh, sunlight was tearing through the curtains. Skylar hated sun rises and morning, and she wasn't quiet sure why, they just bugged her.

She poured herself some corn flakes and milk and over breakfast worked on the journal she'd been keeping since she joined this band. She wanted to remember all this when she finally settled down. The band was pretty hip and in the grove she thought, as it took a lot to impress her. They needed a drummer so she volunteered herself, usually she acted like it was no bug deal, but to her it was huge deal. It was one of the best things that had happened to her ever. But what Skylar thought and how she actually acted were two different things. She was a confusing person, but wasn't everyone?

She went to her phone and decided to text her friend Lux, who was always up early. Lux was one of her good friends, and like all of the other band members she trusted her dearly. "Exciting eh? Getting ready to go on tour finally. We're going to the toppermost of the poppermost, I know it! Are you ready yet?"

Skylar put down her phone, she never did enjoy texting, she refused to use text slang as she thought it looked sloppy and so it took her forever to get her point across. She finished her simple breakfast and walked outside on her porch, sitting on the porch swing and swinging it softly.

Tansy was walking from the ice cream shop, double scoop ice cream cone in hand as she hopped back onto her board again. Taking continuous licks of the ice cream like a little kid as she made her way towards her house. Finally reaching the gated community, punching in the code and allowing the gates to open. No one in her lame ass rich gated community like her. They all thought of her as a hoodlum, riding her long board, her grungy style, mixed with her tattoo and piercing apparently she just screamed I’m going to break into your house and spray paint every sign I see. she let out a small giggle at the thought of the complaints her parents had gotten in the past.

She kicked up her long board at the edge of her drive way carrying it the rest of the way. Inside she was greeted by her three very large great danes she spent a few minutes with them petting and kissing them as a way of telling them goodbye. Her phone vibrated again taking her attention away from the over grown dogs.

"Exciting eh? Getting ready to go on tour finally. We're going to the toppermost of the poppermost, I know it! Are you ready yet?"

She smiled seeing a message from one of her close friends. She was convinced they became close due to being the only two girl in the band, they always had each other’s backs when the boys decided to pick on them or tease them.

My love, I’ve been ready since last weekend, I’m dying to get out of this house. This tour is going to be life changing!

She sent back, she was a lot like Skylar in the sense that she hated text lingo. She’d much rather take her time spelling everything out, in her mind it seemed more personal to type See you later then C U L8tr. she shoved her phone into her pocket once again and ran up the stairs towards her room followed by the three dogs as they thundered behind like a heard of horses.

She meant it when she said everything had been packed since last weekend, she had managed to fit all of her clothes, shoes, and accessories into one large suite case and her make-up, toiletries, and shoes in another smaller backpack. She had one case that fit all of her Synthesizer excitement, the bag honestly looked like a maze of wires, knobs, and lights, but she knew exactly how everything worked. She’d even been asked on occasion how the hell she knew how any of that shit worked. Last but not least there was her keyboard . Which by now I’m sure you could guess it was yellow, her favorite color. The very front of the Key board read Lady Lux-Machines For Kids. After two trips back and forth she finally found herself sitting in the drive way waiting on Milo, her beats still around her neck now blaring an upbeat Swedish House Mafia song. She had gotten use to her ordinary life, but it was time for a change and she just hand an overwhelming feeling that this trip was going to change their life. When she had told her parents, they simply said be careful and that was it. Her parents didn’t care much about her or what she was doing for that matter.

Skylar's phone buzzed and her little ring tone went off again, this time to a different Beatles song, she looked at her phone:

My love, I’ve been ready since last weekend, I’m dying to get out of this house. This tour is going to be life changing!

She smiled at the thought of her friend Lux. Sometimes she called her mellow yellow, for her love of life and the color yellow. It was nice to have another girl to back her up and even nicer to have a smart girl who knew a ton about music. Skylar figured Lux was among the smartest of them all considering what Lux played, basically all Skylar did was hit drum heads in different patterns and compared to all the talent involved in synth.

All this reminded Skylar of her drum set, which she had all nicely packed away in the garage. She walked down to her garage to go get and bring them up to the driveway which would be a daunting task. When we get famous we better hire a roadie. She decided. She'd do it all though, for her drums. Her record collection was one thing, her drums another. It was like comparing the Monkees to the Beatles and her drums where defiantly the Beatles.

She tapped in the garage code and when inside. The several cases were all nice and neat just as she left them. Skylar was very proud of her drums, they were a Ludwig drum set, like the one's the Beatle Ringo Starr had used and she used her life savings practically to buy a real nice set. On the drums face was the bands logo, Machines For Kids and she was very proud of that. As she started loading the cases(those had cost another small fortune) out to the driveway she decided to text Lux back.

Just about ready to go. I did last minute packing last night, you know me, my suit case is huge, it's the one my mother took to Europe back when she was a rich teenager. Also my drums, trust me you don't want to load drums by yourself, it's hard work. I wonder how we'll all fit, if worst comes to worst I guess I can take the roof, haha.

Skylar really was concerned, she knew she'd take up a lot of space so she texted Milo to warn him,

Hey Milo, um just wondering, how are we going to fit my drums and my huge suitcase in your Soka? Oh and by the way, when were all rich an successful I say we hire a roadie, then I won't have to lug my drums everywhere by myself. :)

Tansy sighed as she waited for her friends to pick her up. She thought it was taking them quite a bit longer than usual to get their but then again Milo was picking up everyone and they were all kind of scattered. She rested her key board on her lap, her legs crossed at the ankles, turning it on she began to mess around on it. She was always coming up with new beats and ways to make them sound more and more like they were falling down the rabbit hole or having a rave party in wonderland.

She loved their 70s inspired psychedelic sound, it was definitely different from today’s fluffy pop culture. But, she honestly could care less if they sound like Justin Beiber as long as she got to play her thing. She tapped on a few keys before deciding to text Halen.

“Hey Babe, they pick you up yet?” she asked

At first everyone had been kind of weirder out at the fact that Tansy called everyone Babe or Baby or Love, but that was just who she was and eventually they had gotten used to it.

Just as the song Halen was listening to had ended, a message came in to his phone from Tansy. It took him a minute to realize that he had listened to at least four songs since he started waiting, so that meant Milo was most likely running a little behind schedule.

"Nothing new about that," Halen mumbled to himself in a joking way, then unlocked his screen and looked down at the message.

“Hey Babe, they pick you up yet?”

He smiled, then began typing, shaking his head a little at Tansy's term of endearment. What would seem like flirting to anyone else, Halen knew that she referred to everyone as that, but nevertheless, he didn't pass up an opportunity to be a little flirtatious in return. His messages always ended up turning out like that, either way, whether he wanted them to or not.

'No, they didn't, but they'll be here soon...at least let us hope, hah. ;]'

With that, he took his ear buds out, then jumped when he realized that someone was pounding at the door. Finally they arrived, and Halen stood up, practically skipping to the door. He was excited to get out of here, to say the least.

"Milo," he smiled, then shoved his phone in his back pocket and looked around. "My bag's out here, I don't have a lot of shit, just this and my guitar--" he began saying, but was quickly interrupted by Skylar's sudden screaming. "Oh, God," he simply sighed, then grabbed his guitar case and his bag and made his way over to Milo's Skoda, then set them both down. "Yo Milo, help me put this stuff away in a way that won't take up too much space," he called over, then cracked his knuckles lazily.

Milo's usual smile of crooked teeth was spread over his face when Halen opened the door, but then disappeared when the yelling appeared. "Shit shit shit" he muttered, while Sky yelled at a passerby, "You okay?" asking Sky, he leaned over her, probably ignoring her personal space a bit. He really wasn't that much taller than her, especially in comparison to Cliff. "Maybe your arm's going to fall off and you'll never be able play drums again" he mumbled, his smile coming back. After his comment he felt slightly like a father making jokes at their child's expense, even though Milo was in no kind of way a fatherly figure. Most of the band was older than him, anyway. Sky looked fine, just in a bit of pain. "Uh, as long as you're not allergic you'll be fine" He said to sky as he walked away, patting her on the shoulder as he passed to follow Halen.

"Yeah" Milo said, mainly to himself, "yeah! help" he said, looking up and flashing his teeth at Halen. He set the guitars down next to his bass, all going upright. "Two guitars eh? We don't even have acoustic songs" he said, standing back for a second, then leaned on Halen. He was unbalanced leaning on his slightly taller friend, only their shoulders touched. He set up the back of the van where all the guitars would sit upright, and eventually Lux's synthesizer. Milo's bass was the longest of the cases, and the only one to touch both sides of the van. He pushed Halen's guitars more to the left, leaning space on the right for suitcases. In front of the guitars were Sky's drums, bass drum upright, toms sitting how they would normally sit, same with the snare, with the cymbals and stands laid over them. There was enough room left for Lux's synthesizer and her suitcase, but barely.

"God! you guys are like fucking rockstars or something with all this shit you're bringing" He said, thinking about the nearly empty duffel bag and backpack he brought. He always had the backpack on him anyways. It was filled with the random odds and ends he always had, a notebook for ideas (not always music related), pens, pencils, lighters, whatever book he'd been reading, a hat, and whatever else he felt like bringing. The duffel bag literally only had t-shirts (of the band variety, Tool, Sublime, the Pixies, Neutral Milk Hotel, and more, all of them in black or white), underwear and a beanie.

He hopped back into the driver side seat of his car "We're not even late!" he said, moving his rear view mirror slightly. Before pulling out of the driveway, he changed the song on his ipod. King Krule this time, the thing about Krule was that his discography was short, he was just a young-ish kind from London, and didn't have time to build it all up. The song playing however, was one of Milo's favorite of all time, and he was amazed someone only a bit older than him could write it.

"Someone text our lady Lux please. I think we'll pick her up, then we'll go somewhere for lunch then sit down somewhere for a few hours and plan out our entire fucking tour, then head over to metaphor" he said, back on the road. He drove to his friend's house quickly. He, like at all the houses before, jumped out of the car quickly and went to fetch his bandmate.

Cliff hummed a guitar riff softly under his breath, trying to distract himself from how awkward he felt on Halen's porch. He never was fond of waiting in front of people's homes. He always felt the neighbors were staring him down and watching each and every move he made. He adjusted his hat on his head and, as the sun began to rise further in the sky, he rolled up his hoodie's sleeves.

"Oh fuck!" he heard Skylar cry. Cliff looked over quickly at her, grinning crookedly.

"For a girl, you sure do swear like a sailor," he teased. It was always amusing teasing the other members of the band. They were like the little siblings he'd never had, thanks to his parents' lack of love for each other and divorce. Cliff gave her a subtle nudge, too. But, after a few moments of laughing lightly, he seemed to grow concerned. "You alright though, Sky? That was pretty loud, even for you."

At around that time, though, he looked away to see Halen just about skipping to the door. He smirked and rolled his eyes at Halen in a teasing manner. "You're obviously the most masculine one in the band," he jeered. "G'morning, Halen." Cliff had always been fond of the lead singer. Halen had one of the most similar personalities to his own and he was one of the first band members he felt he could speak freely to. Milo had the tendency to get distracted and he felt a bit awkward telling the girls about his personal life. Milo grabbed Halen's only bag and started toward the car with Halen and his guitar following close behind. Cliff followed, pulling his jacket off completely as he got back into shotgun in the Skoda.

He heard Milo speaking about the guitars in the back and he grinned to himself before yelling. "We should have acoustic songs!" he teased. Acoustic songs weren't even his forte, but he still did appreciate playing a nice medley on the acoustic guitar to ease his nerves. It did just about the same thing a cigarette did for him or a bottle of beer. "I have my standards, Milo!" he cried, responding to the "rockstar" comment. "It could be worse, in hindsight. Some of the requests of today's 'rockstars' are insane. Madonna has a set of furniture she takes with her on tour, I think. I'll text Lux," he offered. "Uno momento, por favor." He whipped out his phone and pulled up Lux's contact information to send her a message.

"Hey Lux," he began the message. "We just picked up Halen at his place. We're on our way to come kidnap you :) Milo wants to stop for lunch on the way (yay, food)." The smiley face was unusual for Cliff, but he felt it lightened the mood of his texts, which usually seems monotonous and a bit threatening from the habit he'd picked up of using proper grammar each time he texted." Milo jumped out of the car to run up to Tansy's house, but Cliff simply yawned and settled back in his seat. Lux knew he cared about her, he didn't need to run up to her door to prove it.
