<table class="bbc_table"><tbody><tr><td>Meisa listened to the verbal diarrhea the big guy at her side was producing with a smile. Stretching out a hand she answered: <strong>"Hello James. I am Meisa. Yes, I do play the guitar."</strong> She shrugged her shoulders, shaking the two cases. <strong>"Rush you say? Great band. <em>La Vila Stangiato</em> is one of my favorites."</strong> She was speaking with a slight Japanese accent, but it was barely there.<br/><br/><strong>"As guitarists I like John Petrucci of Dream Theater, but also Eddie Van Halen, Richie Blackmore and Jimmy Page."</strong> Then there was a call for lead guitarists to audition together with rhythm guitarists, and she added the question: <strong>"Would you like to audition together?"</strong><br/><br/><em>(OOC: Assuming James agrees.)</em><br/><br/>Meisa walked into the audition room, looking cute as a button in her outfit and with the propped up hair. She nodded and smiled at the female drummer who was still sitting behind the kit before she went to the guy who must be Desmond, the one who put up the add. <strong>"Hi, I am Meisa. Auditioning for lead guitar."</strong> She shook his hand and gave him a dazzling smile, one that can turn knees into jelly. Looking around, she found an amp and put the bigger of the two cases in a corner. She opened the smaller one, taking out a black Gibson Les Paul Custom. She almost lovingly tuned it by ear, then she put it on and stood up. She plugged it in and started playing a few licks in clean mode, showing precision and speed. A careful observer could see that the nails on her left hand were short but the ones on her right hand were long. It became clear why that was the case when she started picking, playing a short piece of Johann Sebastian Bach's Air.<br/><br/>Before she hit the distortion, she said: <strong>"I apologize if the sound is a bit flaky, this is not my equipment obviously."</strong> She pointed at the amp. Stroking the neck of her guitar, she continued: <strong>"This baby has more sustain than the great canyon, but I'll try to make her behave."</strong> <br/><br/>She then hit the distortion and played a rhythm riff, waiting for James to join in. When he did, she went into a melodic solo, that included quite a few incredibly quick finger moves while still staying true to the melody. While she played, at one point she reached up with her right hand, letting her hair down while her left was still tapping the solo. Not pausing the solo for a second, she moved to the rhythm, smiling through her hair at James, the combination of the hard guitar sounds with her natural grace in her movement and feel for melodies producing a very tantalizing effect. <br/><br/>Then she went into a hard rhythmic riff, nodding at James to take over the lead. When he did, she moved around him, her hair flying, listening to what he did and answering with a short burst of quick licks of her own from time to time, but still keeping the rhythm going.<br/> </td><td>(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/5c/Meisa1.jpg)</td></tr></tbody></table><br/>
