The Piano page 4
The door opened and in stepped Bohiddly Dinseevir, drummer for the Starstruck Disco Rip-Offs. She glided across the room like a ghost.
"My name is inconsequential," she said, "but I heard you needed a songwriter."
Todd Delzinko sniffed and said, "I'm so broken inside. Where is the secret leprechaun magic that allowed me to control the weather in days past?"
Waddell wondered what to do. Delzinko had name power but no talent and Bohiddly hadn't ever proven herself. It was quite a dilemma.
"If you know anyone who can play the piano, I can sing along," Bohiddly offered. "I don't have to lip-sync like Todd here does."
"I don't lip-sync!" screamed Delzinko. "I am channeling other voices through my spiritual energy and giving them the power to conquer the radio waves!"
Silence settled over the room after the outburst. Everyone tried not to look at the others. Finally, Delzinko stood.
"I'm not takingt his crap, Waddell! Pick me or pick her!"
Waddell thought for a moment and picked her.
"You fool!" Todd shouted. He pounded on the piano. "You will regret this for the rest of your life! I curse you with my leprechaun magic! You will die! You will die like no man has died before!"
Then Delzinko turned and stormed out of the room.
