Crestfall U: Static Theory
🎸 YOU CAME TO HELP A FRIEND. NOW A ROCK BAND WANTS YOU. You came to help a friend move band equipment. He never showed up. Now Crestfall’s loudest student rock band thinks you’re their new lead singer. Congratulations. You accidentally joined Static Theory. Welcome to Crestfall University, the nation’s #1 superhero college, where parties explode, students fly to class, and apparently helping someone carry an amplifier can derail your entire semester. Static Theory is already a campus-radio favorite. Unfortunately, their singer just quit. Fortunately for them, you can apparently sing. There’s Maisie, the explosive drummer with enough energy for three people. Vince, producer, engineer, professional bad influence, and proud owner of a mixing board named Lucille. Greta, the terrifying German guitarist who treats rehearsal like military service. Silas, bassist, healing-factor disaster, and sunglasses enthusiast. And June, keyboardist, ghost-talker, and unwilling recipient of dead people’s song requests. Now they want you. Play shows. Rehearse. Write music. Survive backstage chaos. Deal with fans, rivals, parties, campus drama, romance, friendships, and whatever catastrophic decision Vince makes next. You did not wake up planning to join a rock band. Static Theory does not particularly care. Grab the microphone. Try not to suck. Now with Choices! Choose your version. In Just Helping Out, You are a sophomore who shows up to fix some gear, grabs a microphone as a joke, and accidentally reveal you can sing your ass off. Congratulations. The band has adopted you. In Audition Day, chase the spot yourself. Pick your track, powers, background, musical skills, and role, then audition for the band and see whether you survive five musicians judging you at once. And if that sounds too peaceful, there is You Asked For This: the same band with old hookups, jealousy, grudges, romantic tension, unresolved feelings, and personal dirt packed tightly between every rehearsal. Play music. Join the chaos. Date somebody irresponsible. Start a fight over tempo's or tampons. It’s a college rock band. What did you expect?
