*Brandi swallowed hard and squeezed Cry-Baby's hand for a moment. Then she silently prayed for his patience with her in the conversation to come.*

*In a professional manner, Raziel went to the drums and, after a few tests to see if he'd summoned up the right set, launched into a series of what can only be described as awesome beats.*

*Jeremy stretches his head to the side, popping his neck as he quietly makes sure Peter Petrelli and War have a reason to be somewhere near by. He didn't want to use them, especially War, in front of Cry Baby but it looked like the new guy was going to press the issue.*
"Hey Raziel, what happened to working in mysterious ways?"

*Damn. He'd wanted Raziel to suck beyond the telling, to have an excuse to kick his greasy angel butt out of here. And away from Brandi, whom he clearly made uncomfortable.
And besides, Cry-baby just didn't like him all that much.
But he had to admit the guy kind of rocked.
When he stopped, Cry-baby couldn't help but acknowledge the other man's prowess.*
"With hands like that, you could play anywhere. What makes you wanna be in this band?"

*Raziel raised a brow at Jeremy's question*
"Mysterious has never really been my strong point."
*To CryBaby, he said:*
"Because I figured that hands like these would only get appreciated around these parts. True bands like this don't really exist anywhere else in this bizarre world."

Not around this insert's parts, you better believe.
*Brandi's lips tightened as she swallowed. She wasn't sure how best to get them out of this situation in one piece. If Cry-Baby decided that Raziel was worth the risk, she'd accept it, but if Raziel thought that was an open door for other kinds of sharing, he had another thing comin'. She hazarded a glance to Cry-Baby, awaiting the verdict.*

*Cry-baby didn't take his eyes off Raziel.*
"T'hear tell of it, you've got no cause to stick around this 'bizarre' world if you don't want to."

*The eye contact never wavered*
"Actually, I'm stuck here. Can't leave, for an indefinite amount of time, for things beyond my control."
*He glanced meaningfully upwards before meeting CryBaby's eyes again.*

"Great. A fallen angel for a drummer; can't say it wouldn't help the reputation."
But I wish I did have a way to send you back myself.
"All right."
*He walked up to Raziel and stuck a finger in his chest.*
"You can stay; for now. But this is my band, an' I'm in charge. You even think about upstagin', an' you're out. Don't think I can't make good on that, neither."

Jess stood up and walked over to the drum set "Well it'd be nice to have you here, but we all ready have a drummer" she had been watching his hands carefully as he played, taking in everything that he did, from his foot movements to the way he threw his hands. She ushered him out of the drum set and sat down All right kid, let's see if those pretty little powers of observation can get him out of here.She started tapping the symbols and then gave the bass drum a kick, before playing almost exactly what Raziel had just played. It wasn't as amazing as him, but she didn't like the guy, even if he made Brandi nervous. Jess looked up at Cry Baby and for a moment to Brandi "See?" Holy Crap! You did it! Ahahaha!((SORRY!!! ))

*Brandi smiled at Jess, but she wasn't sure what to think. All she could do was nod in approval and shrug at Raziel.*

*Cry-baby kept his face neutral, but his one raised eyebrow seemed to say, 'and you kept this from us why?' He turned to Raziel.*
"Seems you've got some competition. And I'm afraid ladies always come first."

*Raziel stood to one side, arms crossed, as he watched Jess do an excellent imitation of him. It was impressive, to say the least, and it showed on his face. He eyed Jess for a moment before nodding*
"I gotta admit, honey, you rock. Call me 'served', as it were. "
*He let his gaze travel the room before going back to Jess*
"I'll bow out if it leaves all the friends together, hmmm? And I'll let you keep the drums, even."
And maybe later, you can tell me where you picked up that talent.

*Brandi was starting to ache from the stress and the weight of the horn strapped to her chest. She unclasped it and turned to set it down. She walked over to the bar and poured some glasses of water from a pitcher there. She drank one down and refilled it, not looking back to the three of them, but slid an extra in Jeremy's direction.*
Just tell me when they're done.

*Cry-baby walked over and grabbed a glass of water, grimacing slightly at its lack of beer-like properties.*
"Don't do us no favors," *he muttered.*
