Damian couldn't help but grin at the energy in the room and, as he watched the guild start to talk amongst themselves about the resurrection of the old festival, the ever faint sound of a guitar started to build in the back ground, drawing the attention of several members who knew the song, though it was drawn out for his part. [color=FireBrick]"So while I've been training avidly over the course of the last two years as well as doing jobs, many of you are also familiar with a masked band that's come into heavy popularity over the last year and a half."[/color] He chuckled into the mic as the curtains behind him opened up revealing the members of the rising band Wild Ones, except without their masks. On guitar was none other than the guild's Jane Addeson with James Avelane, who'd disappeared form his table earlier, on bass. Guitar was handled by another well-known mage and nearby was a pianist who was simply enjoying the build up. However, their singer was apparently no where to be seen.

Until Damian stepped back and [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JGkJ6bezDQ]started[/url] in on the song lyrics.

[color=FireBrick][i]Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder
I was caught
In the middle of a railroad track
I looked round
And I knew there was no turning back
My mind raced
And I thought what could I do
And I knew
There was no help, no help from you
Sound of the drums
Beating in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart
You've been
Thunderstruck

Rode down the highway
Broke the limit, we hit the town
Went through to Texas, yeah Texas, and we had some fun
We met some girls
Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules
Played all the fools
Yeah yeah they, they, they blew our minds
And I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please
Yeah them ladies were too kind
You've been
Thunderstruck

I was shaking at the knees
Could I come again please

Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
It's alright, we're doin' fine
It's alright, we're doin' fine, fine, fine
Thunderstruck, yeah, yeah, yeah
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, baby, baby
Thunderstruck, you've been Thunderstruck
Thunderstruck, Thunderstruck
You've been Thunderstruck[/i][/color]

The reveal was clearly unexpected but welcome and the guild only got more energized by the sudden appearance of the well known band. Damian smiled wildly as it came to a close. [color=FireBrick]"We're slotted to do a couple of performances for the festival, but right now, we're taking requests. Felt it only fair to come home and introduce you all to the band proper."[/color] His mood almost fell when he spotted a certain Exceed coming into the guild hall during the song, but he managed to avoid it and, when the winged menace came flying his way to try and steal the mic from him and likely praise herself again, he caught her in his free hand and punted her back out the front door over everyone's heads.
