[Video]

[gregorydeegan]

[Greg has his camera set to face a stage in the music area. He has every instrument set up that he could think of set up on the stage, so that anyone else could join him, if they want.]

"I know a lot of people are sick, and I've been told my mutant power can't help. But... my father pointed out to me... there are more ways to help and to heal. So... I will be rocking out as long as I can keep it up. Anyone else who isn't sick is welcome to come help out. Tune in if you want, something to listen to, something to do, and a reminder that there are those of us out here still, wishing we could help."

[That said, he swung his guitar around to his front, and turned it on. It was his newest electronic axe, and now... now it was being put to a good cause. It was all Greg could think of to do.]

[He took a deep breath, then began to play. He started with a power ballad, but would go through every genre he could think of many times over before he would stop.]


((OOC: this post is open to reply by video, posts of people watching that don't need replies, or in person replies from people who want to play alongside him. If not aided or stopped, he literally will play until he has no more power - mutant or otherwise - to keep standing, keep moving.))

[Feliks watches the video feed for a little while, trying to decide what exactly to feel about it.]

[There are, he feels sure, other things to be doing -- fundraising, putting pressure on politicians to take action, helping Dr. McCoy...]

[He's always believed in the importance of judiciously applied soft power, though. And sometimes, what people need is a bit of light to get them through just a little longer.]

[So he digs out his pop-princess dress from three Halloweens ago and the sparkly lipstick to match it, and heads out of the teachers' quarters to go join Greg with a tambourine in hand.]

Greg grinned when he saw Feliks arrive. He kept singing even as he nodded to the stage, inviting his friend to join him. He had a feeling that Feliks would get it, would understand what he was trying to do. He was glad to be right.

Hey, Greg! Want some stage makeup, or is that, like, too glam for you?

[gregorydeegan]

"If I say it's too glam, are you going to stage an intervention?" He quipped in time with the music. He grinned brightly.

"Go for it, let's rock this!"

[niepokonany]

"I would totally have staged an intervention," he assured him, taking a small bag out of his purse. "Blue, green or silver lipstick? I hardly ever get an excuse to use these ones, so let me have my fun."

[gregorydeegan]

He laughed. "Silver, why not? I'm not feeling blue, not particularly green with envy, but I love to shine."

He grinned. "When you go shopping, you don't go for the gold?"

[niepokonany]

"Again with the puns?" Feliks laughed, taking out the silver lipstick. "Go easy on me -- second language, remember?"

As if he actually had any substantial problems with it anymore, but that didn't stop him from affecting a heavier accent when he wanted to get away with pretending he didn't know something. "Here, do your lips like this for a sec." He opened his mouth, to show how it would be easiest for him to apply the lipstick.

[gregorydeegan]

"You just want me to do that, so I can't pun any more," he teased, then mimicked the way he was told to hold his mouth.


Rachel had better NEVER find out about this...

[niepokonany]

"Shhh. No more words, only makeup now," he joked, applying a first coat to Greg's lips, then a second. "Rub your lips together like this?"

[gregorydeegan]

He did as he was told, rolling his eyes at his friend as he did so, waggling his fingers like he was going to tickle the other boy.

[niepokonany]

"If you tickle me, it's totally going right up your nose. Open again?"

[gregorydeegan]

He smirked at that. "The question would be if you'd ever use it again after that," he teased, before making the required face again.

[niepokonany]

"I'd just get Fai to buy me a new one."

He could buy it himself, easily, but where was the fun in that?

[gregorydeegan]

HE stuck out his tongue, which was amusing looking given how he ws holding his face for the makeup.
