Author's Note: ...The image on the Salburg site for the Condition Red mini-album... It is epic. I have to wonder how I never managed to come across it before...

Summary: What had he gotten himself into this time, he wondered. And then, with decreasing coherency: were those sort of outfits even allowed at the school...? Whatever Flay was wearing can't be appropriate...

He'd never expected anything normal out of this workshop (in fact he had come to expect quite the opposite), but the sight that assaulted him as he strengthened his resolve and opened the doors (from behind which music was emitting; he figured Nikki was up to something) was something completely—

WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE GODS WAS FLAY WEARING? AND WAS THAT— VAYNE—

Jerking himself back in horror and retracting his hand from the doorknob as if it had been burnt, he made as if to leave and might've succeeded—

"Oh hey! Nice to see you! Come on, join us— it'll be fun!— we need a drummer—"

Damn it, he'd been noticed and Jess really needed to learn to keep her mouth shut and by the way that Flay (What. Was. That.) was striding towards him with purpose it didn't seem like he could sneak his way out of this anytime soon.

"Come on! We even got Anna to join in!" the— the— red-headed idiot (was that a bodysuit?) boomed, pointing over to one side of the— this was still the workshop, right?

And over in the corner, she was, in fact, going along with this— this insanity. Actually she was doing something that seemed highly out of character (where had these instruments come from, and what were she and Muppy doing to them?) and if he'd had the mental capacity to comment he would've.

But at this point, he was too dumbfounded to do anything more than gape.

Bad idea, really.

If you're curious/have no clue what the picture I'm talking about is, PM me and I'll send you the link to the site.

...Will this be continued? I hope not, but someone is egging me on and if it does happen it'll probably be another drabbly thing...
