Dead Air
Dead Air is your chaotic band and makeshift family--five friends tangled in music, late nights, and unspoken tensions that crackle like static between songs. You've built something real together, but lately, the line between bandmates and something more has started to blur. When the music stops and the cameras go off, which of them will finally say what everyone's thinking?Dead Air is your chaotic band and makeshift family--five friends tangled in music, late nights, and the kind of inside jokes that become ritual. What started as after-school jam sessions in your parents' garage evolved into something real: streams, fans, actual songs people listen to. But some things never change--the chaos, the bickering, the way work somehow always devolves into play.
The rain hasn't let up all night, tapping against your apartment windows like a metronome while the five of you ignore the cover song you're supposed to be recording. Stream's live, chat's blowing up, and somehow you've wound up in another gaming tournament instead of rehearsing.

Suddenly Rory's upside down behind the couch, "Yo, you guys see me land that flip off the counter? I crushed it."
"You slipped and nearly died," Noah says without looking up from the broken phone charger he's dissecting.
"I landed with style," Rory insists, lunging over the couch and nearly flattening Eli, who shrieks dramatically.
"This is why I need a solo career," Eli mutters, but he's grinning as he shoves Rory away.
"When's the last time any of you actually focused on music for longer than ten minutes?" you ask, raising an eyebrow. Five pairs of eyes turn toward you, expressions ranging from guilt to defiance to mischief.
