[PRP] Moving Mountains (Liri & 13) - Fin

[Yayoi]

13 had been spending most of his day fixing s**t. It was his every day. At this particular time he was in the back fighting with an am that wouldn’t stop screeching every time music got play through it. He’d had a hammer in his hand and was about to give it a few good walks when he heard his name, or at least the name he was given when he started working here, calling out front. 13 death flared at the arm before he tossed the hammer back into a tool box that was full of tools for random situations. One could never be too prepared.

He poked his head out from out back, a lit cigarette hanging from his mouth as he looked around. It had been Lori that called apparently. Passing through the curtain he walked across the stage and jumped down on one fluid motion. “What’s up, Liri?” His head turned to regard the grand piano that was sitting at an awkward angle. Glancing over the rim of his aviators. “The ******** are you soon’ moving that piano by yourself?”

“Well cut it out before you get yourself hurt.” But 13 knew no matter what he said there would always be something to keep him on his toes. Today was no exception. Running flaws through his dark hair he wandered over to the piano. It had come off some of it’s rollers so first he had to fix that but that also meant lifting the damn thing. Which was fine, whatever. “Alright I’m going to need your help. I’m going to lift it and you are going to slide the rollers back where they need to be.”

13 walked over to one side of the piano, rolled his neck and shoulders before he tripped the piano. “Ready?” ******** he better be cause pianos were not light but to be honest it wasn’t that much of a pain to lift. He was a rather muscular guy, not overly but toned enough that you know he worked out. You had to be to deal with all the equipment and have the stamina to deal with groupies that got a little too handsy.

When Liri was ready he bent his knees slight and lifted the piano up off the ground a few inchesZ giving the other male enough time to slip the roller underneath so that he could set it back down.

Thank God that was done. He was going to feel that one in the morning. 13 settled the piano back down and dusted off his hands. Turning slightly to look at the ramp. Moving closer to it he crouched, gave it a few knocks with his fist. “Oh t might. Couldn’t hurt to try.”

Standing once more he lifted up one end of the ramp and dragged it, scraping across the floor to where it made a horrible squealing noise. Once he reached the stairs he laid it down so that it was flush with the ground and the stage. It was a pretty steep Incline for sure so this was not going to be easy. “Alright, we’ll give it a shot. I’m gonna push it up the ramp you just stay out of the way.”

Moving back to the piano he rolled it over to the ramp, eyeballing that incline again. ******** this was going to be a b***h. Not only did he has to make sure it got up the ramp he has to make sure it didn’t fall off the ramp too. 13 just decided to bite the bullet and go for is. He pushed the piano about halfway up the ramp when what he knew might happen happen.

The incline was too steep to just casually push it up it. This was going to take some quick power behind it. The vampire pressed his shoulder up against the piano and shoved it up the ramp again. “When I say move I mean move…!” His voice was a deep growl at the piano slowly but surely started inching up the ramp again until the first set of wheels reached the stage. At that point it was only a little bit more of a push to get it all the way ip the stage.

With one last heave he shoved the piano onto the stage. Thankful that it had rollers otherwise it would have been very tricky to pull this off. 13 preferred if people just stayed out of his way and let him do his thing. It was just easier that way and less likely for him to want to strangle someone because they can’t follow directions.

“Movin’ heavy s**t is what I do. Be it pianos or people. Where do you want it exactly?” He pulled the cigarette out of his mouth, looked at it then stuck it back between his teeth and relit it. The fire reflecting in his sunglasses. Snapping his Zippo shut he place it back in his back pocket. “A drink is fine.” He’d be stupid to pass up free drinks.

Yea it was probably best if Liri just left it alone.

Now that the piano was back on a flat surface it was easier to move. 13 pushed it almost effortlessly across the stage to behind the curtain like the other male said. Straightening it out so it wasn’t all cocked to the side. “Man, ******** trying to get this thing back down again.” 13 just knew eventually it was going to have to be moved again and he did not look forward to that. That would definitely call for more crew needed. They could take it back down the ramp but then they’d have to catch it before it rolled away.

“Three Wiseman.” He replied to Liri. If he was going to get drink it might as well be worth his while. Anyone else might just go run or vodka but not 13, no. No, he needed something stronger. Three whiskeys in one that was the way to go.

“Neat. One glass.” 13 twisted his body at the waist a couple times. A crackling noise came from his back and he let out a small sigh. Yea, that was better. Dark green hair hung in his face for a minute before he pushed it out of his face. The cigarette still hanging out of the corner of his mouth.

“Yea, no orob.” It was hard to determine what the expression on his face was due to his sunglasses. 13 took his job pretty seriously. The band wasn’t too bad with their antics. It was the fans that were nutzo. He has to check closets and underneath things before and after every show and inevitably he’s find a girl hiding somewhere. At least a piano wouldn’t try to bite and scratch him.

13 took the offered glass and downed it in one. It burned the whole way down but that was how he liked it. Nice and burny to where it could almost strip paint. He made an appreciative noise before handing the glass back to Liri.

The male vampire had no clue what else to say oh wait. “Thanks for the drink.” Right. Manners. He severely lacked them sometimes but he really didn’t give two shits about it. With the piano moves her was about to return to his fight with the amp when there was a noise in the pit. 13 glanced at Liri. “You uh….aren’t hiding someone in here are you?” Both his eyebrows raised then fell. Who knew who they would sneak in from time to time. s**t why sneak it’s not like anyone was going to care.

He moved over towards the edge of the stage to peer down into the pit. At first he didn’t see anything/
