Love Ain't For Keepin', 5

Page 5 sallyface90-- "Y-you wha--" If it wasn't enough having Keith in his arms, fingers interlocked, those last five words slipping through the man's lips sent him soaring higher than any human being should be. His heart fluttered fast, strong, and he felt so much more real and whole than he had in his entire short lifetime. Bringing their entwined hands to his lips, Pete kissed the drummer's fingers, holding them against his cheek. "I guess that would be a good enough reason. But..." Every word that Keith said danced about his memory as a smile slipped across Pete's face, one that hadn't been evident in a long time; he could practically he

Page Four RiverMist - In the moments that passed, Keith stood slowly, jaw set as the anger that had been merely a tickle before now began overflowing into a raging boil, watching Sean's hand roughly grab Pete to his feet in an attempt to... scold him. As if he were some mindless dog that needed to be told every action he could or could not make... otherwise beaten with a newspaper or kicked if the poor creature disagreed. The drummer's eyes widened, jigsaw pieces that had seemed so vague finally falling into place, Keith understood... Moving with quick, deliberate steps, a mere 5 foot 8 in height to this 6'6" lumbering giant that was still

Page Three RiverMist- Keith blinked in confusion, as the command finally penetrated into the farthest reaches of his innermost hopes and fears for the situation. One part of him, the sane, responsible one perhaps was telling him to think of the fact that this man was in a relationship, to try and talk Pete out of... the delusion? The certainly unaware high that he might have been coming down from? Magical highs with no needles? To gently lay him down and leave as if he had never came. But.. as he stared into those eyes... the eyes that encaptured the world for him, that mirrored the man he wanted to be in all aspects of life, his will left h

Page Two sallyface90--Pete listened to what Keith was saying intently. Despite what others may think, not making complete eye contact and sometimes turning his back while someone was speaking, the guitarist hears every single word that is spoken, whether to him or not. He fed off of that feedback; it let him know just how screwed up he was getting. He knowing this at least kept off insanity for a bit longer. He listened to Keith in particular, though, because it seemed that this man's words meant so much more than others. They were the words that he fell asleep and awoke the next morning to. Just the plain memory of those words. That and th

Page One RiverMist--Keith stood at the apartment doorway, wringing his palms in slight nervousness as the sounds of car alarms and blaring radios filled the abandoned halls of the building. He had never been to Pete and Sean's place before and in all honesty, wasn't too sure why he had felt such the urge to come at all. Dingy neighborhood... with people he usually wouldn't be caught dead in public with, besides the guitarist. John had warned him but, he, of course, hadn't listened. "You liar..." he whispered softly to himself. He knew exactly why he was there. Pete had not been.. "Pete" for several weeks now. He slowly had shrunk away from t

"Scoot over, Roger, you're taking up the whole booth!" "You have plenty of room, you sod. Quit complaining." "No, your ass is getting too big. Now scoot!" The two friends laughed together as they settled into their seats, Kittie Moon sitting opposite of the two and scanning her menu in hopes to drown out the sound of the two boys. She loved the two very much, but as with every child, they became annoying very quickly. "Mummy, can I have some juice, please?" "Yes, Lucy, love. Tell the waitress when she gets here, okay?" "Okay!" the youngest of the Moon family giggled, settling into the seat beside her mother, her dark eyes barely seeing

Q-and-S: Chapter 6, Part 1

A typical Friday night at the R&R meant a full evening's work for John Entwistle. He huffed lightly as he swept yet another table clean of half-consumed foods and beverages, pocketed the tip, and headed off to do the job all over again elsewhere. He hadn't reason to complain, though. The R&R was a tough job, but it was still a job. A small bit of income came in weekly; just enough for him to get by. Gino, owner of the R&R and surrogate father in John's life, ensured John needed for nothing. "Oy, Johnny, me boy, come-ah over here-ah!" Gino called, his thick Italian accent muffled in a slight lisp behind his heavy gray mustache. "I need-ah t

He had been dancing for what seemed like hours and John Entwistle’s eyes never left him once. Every move the man made seemed exaggerated, graceful, perfect, and his body seemed to glow as brightly as his golden curls underneath the strobe lights. Several cigarettes had slipped through John’s fingers and several cokes had been swallowed without being tasted as he watched this ethereal figure skip through man and woman alike, gifting each person with a dance and a kiss if they were lucky. “I see you’ve been starin’ at ‘im for quite a while now.” a burly, middle aged woman with a wet rag giving the glass bottl

Authors' Insert

Wow, this is some sad stuff, huh? It would be very superfluous and time consuming to make out whole chapters about what happens in the eight years that we are spacing the first 4 chapters into chapter 5. So, we’ve thought just a basic run-through will clear up some things and make the start of this next chapter make sense. Here goes! Keith and Roger were removed from their school and sent to different ones after the awful talk with Mr. Finch. They eventually lost contact, both Kittie and Evelyn not really sure what to do about their sons’ homosexual tendencies showing up so early. At the age of 14 for Keith, 16 for Roger, the two

What a haven the playground can be when seen through the eyes of a child, and it was none more so with Keith Moon, fresh into his first day of third grade, dark brown eyes shining in excitement of his first eight year old recess, not a side-combed hair out of place with thick rimmed glasses framing his thin face, bridge held together by ratted, dirt crusted tape. He scanned the rather large area, fenced in fifty feet long and fifty feet wide: a box encasing no more than twenty kids at a time. To his left sat a rusted, barren swing set, the dry and cracked seats swinging ominously back and forth with no wind. Not a promising prospect of fun fo

Pot steaming away on the oven, Kittie Moon skirted about the kitchen with her pink stock and pepper stained apron in a frantic search for spices when she heard the phone ringing. The soup needed stirring and a tiny bit of parsley, and it was most stressful and difficult to grab the ringing demon before that evening's dinner scorched to the bottom of the pot. "Hello?" she said hurriedly, phone tucked secure between her ear and her shoulder, one free hand stirring while the other tipped the spice into the soup. "Mrs. Moon?" "Yes, this is she." "I'm the headmaster of your son's school, Mr. Finch. I...think you should come up here." Dinner i

The Kids Are Alright pt.1

Keith sighed as he sat in the sound room. Today they were working on vocals. Roger had lead vocals and John and Pete had back-up. He let out a bigger sigh, because he really wanted to sing a song. He knew he couldn't hold a note very well but even back up vocals would please him. He was about to get up and walk into the studio to ask Pete if he could have a go, but for some reason he hesitated. Fear began to fill his mind. What if Pete laughed? Or said he couldn't sing even if he tried? Moonie shuttered it was just better again, he decided he was going to go to the diner, or maybe the pub. He'd just decide once he got there.

John put his palm to his face and gave a deep sigh, "...Yes Keith, she is." Keith slapped him on the back, "Hey! At least you've been busy. Eh, Eh!" Keith nudged John a few times, then slumped back in the lumpy couch. John chuckled, no matter what they talked about, Keith always had something funny to say. "So- uh..." John paused, thinking of what to talk about next. He looked around to see if something would spark any ideas. The only things he saw were some comics, a few records here and there, and then he noticed the bathroom door was closed. John looked around for a few more minutes realizing that Haka was the only one who wasn't in the

Keith tapped his fingers on the glass as he looked at the extremely shiny rings. They were all nice rings indeed, but he didn't see one Haka would like. He kept looking...and looking...and looking. And he still couldn't find a ring. Keith cursed under his breath and walked over towards John, "I couldn't find one." He paused as he gave a fustrated sigh, "C'mon let's go..." "Uh- How bout this one Keith?" John pointed on the glass. Keith's big brown eyes lite up. The ring was perfect. It wasn't too small, but it wasn't too big. It had a blue stone in the middle and a silver band outlined it, "That's perfect!" Keith said with excitement in his

Alison cocked an eyebrows and crossed her arms, "Excuse me?" John gulped. Cass tried not to giggle, Alison always seemed to intimidate John in some odd way, "I-" John struggled to speak. Cass took a deep breath and opened the door wider, "Alison, you need to leave." She glared at Cass like she was about to pounce on her like a wild animal, "I KNOW what he said." Cass chuckled, Alison was such a drama queen, "That means you go," Cass paused, Alison just stood there, "NOW!" Now Cass was angry too. She didn't mind putting up with Alison's shit when she was still with John, but now since they were getting a divorce it was just annoying. Befo

Cass got up rather suddenly, because she knew if they were late to the tour bus, either Kit would leave them behind, scold them all the way to Michigan, or quite possibly castrate them. As she got up, she just grabbed the first shirt that looked like hers in sight and pulled on a pair of blue jeans. She noticed that John was still contemplating on what he should wear and giggled. She walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder, "I think you should wear that one." She said pointed towards a buttoned-up black shirt. John turned around and kissed her nose, "Alright, dove." He pulled his shirt on over his bare body. He then turned to C

Haka gave a light yawn as she laid in bed with Keith. It'd been a long day and for once it made Haka quite tired. Normally she could handle two or three days that were nonstop but it was just kind of different this time. But she didn't mind. Haka smiled as she poked Keith on the nose, "You know Moonie, I love you." Keith smiled back at her, "I love you too~" Haka still smiled. She laid her head against his chest and the two sat there in near silence for a couple minutes. Then Haka thought of something she was meaning to ask Keith but it kept slipping her mind, "Hey Keith?" "Yesss~?" Keith said, sounding tired as well. "What do you want

Haka looked up at Keith, "Do you really mean that?" Keith wiped the tears from her face, "Yes, I do." Haka gave a light smile, as did Keith. "You know..." Keith began chuckling, "You made me realize how much I dislike Kim. I mean, I'm no more nicer to her than she is to me...but you know." Haka was still smiling, "Yeah, I guess I do." Keith nudged her, "You know my birthday is in a couple days." "Oh yeah it is! Will the tour be over?" "Nah, we'll be in Michigan." Keith paused, "I'll be twenty-one!" Haka looked at Keith with her big green eyes, "It'll be fun, I know it will~" she paused, realizing the time, "Are we leaving tomorrow?"

Cass sighed as she made her way up to Keith's hotel room. It didn't make sense to her- the whole deal with Kim. She knew that Haka had cared about Moonie so much more than Kim probably ever will- and she still does and that was probably never going to change. She gave the door a hard knock and waited for someone to come out. There was no reply. She knocked again. She heard a few things drop inside and someone moaning. The door opened. There stood Keith half awake in nothing but his underwear. Keith was rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, "Cass...?" She sighed it really surprised her Keith was sleeping, "Can I talk to you?" "Uhh..."

My Bio

As you all know, we are major Who fans. (We, meaning

and

)
And, as Who fans, we have created an entire world based specifically around Pete Townshend, Keith Moon, John Entwistle and Roger Daltrey.
This is, by no means, factual and is our own fabrication of their everyday living.

Also, this is very much Americanized, as well. We aren't very familiar with the schooling system in England-since we're starting the roleplay from when the boys were young (we're trying to incorporate as much as we know), so if we offend anyone, we apologize!

Forewarning: The detail is tremendously graphic, and yes - we include the idea of homosexual relationships between the members and often with other people.
If you disprove, don't read. Don't flame. Don't do anything. This is for us and it does not take away from our complete respect for the members. (As formentioned, this is by no means factual or accurate.)

As for our loyal readers, we thank you for taking the time to see what a simple roleplay has started blossoming into - and feel free to comment with any ideas or input. We appreciate feedback.

Now... go! Embark into the zany (and often times, depressing) realm of our own imagination.. and don't forget your Magic Bus pass.

Current Residence: Acton High, London
Favourite genre of music: From Rock to the Blues
Shell of choice: "Lobster!" shouts Keith.
Skin of choice: "Human.." murmurs John.

Favourite Writers

".... is this not obvious?" snorts Pete.

Favourite Games

"Twister!" squeals Roger.

Tools of the Trade

Broken guitar, thundering bass, mutilated drums and twirly microphones!

Other Interests

Surfer music, Meher Baba, open-chested shirts, and Boris Karloff

Just wanted to let all the wonderful readers know that we are currently working on chapter 4 of Quads-and-Sods. It's going slower than expected, what with school and work and back surgeries and all. But, we're getting there. The drama will happen soon, we promise! Just hold on tight. And if you haven't read the previous 3 chapters, please do! We could really use the feedback and comments! We're always open to them, as long as they are no flames. We don't do flames. :p

Wow the writing is fabulous! Love the pairings and all! Ever thought of writing a humourus one? Or adding another band in or somthing? Like if the Experience and the Who had to share a studio or somthing, or the tours?

Personally I think that'd be cool.

That would be cool. We have thought about doing stuff like that before, but we haven't gotten around to it. This one that we posted was written a year ago, so it's kinna old. But, I'll keep that in my, and see what comes out. It'll probably be posted on the regular dA sites, because Quads is specifically for The Who role play.
