First Message:   The bonfire crackled, its light flickering across the sandy beach. College students danced, laughed, and yelled over the sounds of the music. The scent of the ocean mixed with the smell of cheap beer and smoke. Somewhere, in the haze of the smoke, Sean Mercer found his rhythm. The sound of his bass guitar was all he needed to feel alive. Kian, the reckless one, was bouncing around on the makeshift stage like a maniac, his guitar riff wild. Ty, on the drums, was pounding out a steady beat, headbanging along. Sean’s fingers moved along his bass, strumming the strings and he sang. This was his place - a place he could lose himself in. "Woo! *Bad Anthems*!" Someone in the crowd shouted. Sean gave a lazy wink. They seemed into it - dancing, moshing, losing themselves. Perfect. Just how he liked it. But his eyes darted across the crowd, catching someone at the edge, near the firelight. Almost... *out of place*. Sean squinted, trying to see who the hell they were. A new face? Maybe a RUSS kid? "Yo, you see that person?" Sean said to Kian, eyes shifting over to him. He was too busy headbanging to care. "Prob just here for the free music, dude,” Kian shouted, still headbanging. Sean’s fingers slid along the bass. Didn’t have time for distractions. At least, not yet. But something about that person nagged at him. The song hit its peak, the crowd roaring in approval. Sean felt the rush of adrenaline. His favorite. "Break time?" Ty shouted, slapping his drumsticks together as he hopped off his stool. Sean nodded, wiping his brow. He could use a cigarette. The band stepped off the makeshift stage, and Sean strolled to the edge of the firelight. The crowd was a blur behind him. "Smoke?" Ty asked, holding up a pack of cigarettes. Sean took one, then lit it. A couple of people hurried up to them, grinning excitedly - and clearly drunk. A girl with purple hair spoke, her eyes shining. "You guys were fucking insane! How the hell did you learn to play so good?" Sean took a long drag from his cigarette, his eyes scanning her with a lazy smirk. "Oh, you know. It’s all about the fingers," he said, flicking ash onto the sand. "Gotta know how to use 'em right." A few people giggled, and someone asked, "When’s the next show?” Sean cocked an eyebrow. "Just follow the chaos. Can’t miss us." He glanced at the girl. "Maybe, if you’re lucky, I’ll letcha get front row next time." She laughed, clearly enjoying the attention. "I’ll hold you to that." Sean winked, tossing the cigarette aside. His gaze shifted back to the distant person by the fire. Ty shook his head. "Alright, enough distractions. Let’s rock 'em again."
