Don't Kill the Music [ME1, Wonderland Studio]

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Well, I would personally prefer if you took a few days to do so." He replied with a chuckle. "I just wanted to be prepared for it, as you've likely left more then a few in your wake already."

"Thanks." He replied easily, taking a few minutes to listen to the pair of songs. "Honestly I like the first one more, but I think it might be more interesting to do together. So that leaves the second, give me a few minutes to prepare and we can start."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"It's far too early for me to either confirm or deny that." She chuckled softly, twiddling with her lekku even though he could not see that. "Of course. Take your time." She hummed it as he was preparing, while making next radio selections for the audience at Zane's place.

[Zanebry Varliss]

He repressed another chuckle, shaking his head. "I'm sure I'll know for certain should we meet for that drink... When do you think would be a good time fort that by the way?"

Adjusting his hat he began looking over the songs, listening to her hum along as he set the verses he need to sing to memory. "Ready when you are." Came his voice a few minutes later, hopefully the second time would go as well as the first.

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Maybe tomorrow after the program? You could pick me up from the Studio." A pause was caused by a thoughtfully bitten lip. "But now, let's do some music." She cleared her throat as she actually reached for the acoustic modulator for the holo-guitar. "Let's get on air. 3... 2... 1..."

"This morn I woke in my
Hat and my coat and I
Picked up the comm to call you
But I hung up soon
Before you even knew
Thinking someone else could be beside you
You can run, you can hide
You can save it all inside
Sooner than later it'll find you
Yes and maybe it has
Somewhere in the past
But somehow it still slipped by you
Oh it slipped by you
Oh it slipped by you
Well it's not your fault
I pushed you to walk
Straight into the forest of disaster
With a blindfold on
Singing you a song of
Innocence and happy ever after
Well I run and I hide
And I save it all inside
But I know that soon it'll find me
Yes and maybe it has
Somewhere in the past
But somehow it still slipped by me
Oh it slipped by me
Oh it slipped by me"

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I think I'll be bust then, though I could certainly see you later that night, or the day after." As she moved to music he nodded even if she couldn't see it. "Ready when you are."

As the song ended he let out a long breath. He missed playing and to a lesser degree singing, it was too bad it didn't pay the bills. "I didn't know you played as well Darwi, it seems I'm chatting with a lady of many talents."

[Moyr Ahaya]

She provided a soft denouement with strumming. "A girl has to take care of herself in this difficult world. Developing many talents helps." She chuckled to the mic. "I am sure we'll come across each other eventually then. Fate works its way even through populous places like the Smuggler's Moon."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Quite true." He replied with a soft chuckle. "Though I might just try to take things into my own hands and drop by the day after tomorrow instead."

"Whether it be fate or our own intentions that let us meet though, I'll be looking forward to it."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Looks like you are intent on making it interesting for me, Zane. I am not opposed. Until that happens, then. I am happy you called."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I always try to keep things interesting Darwi." There was a smile in his tone. "Until then though." He smirked though she couldn't see it. "And I'm happy you answered."

[Moyr Ahaya]

"Have a good evening, musical gentleman from Solmilo's. Pass my gratitude to the band and the audience."

After his reply, she would disconnect and rise. This life she had escaped into throughout the comm-call, it held melancholic charm. The man from Solmilo's... he reminded her of someone. But there had been other men who had, and they had proven to be anything but. And yet, the illusion had a taste she liked, how things could have been if she had chosen differently. Another life that held something she had to forsake to become who she now was. A starkly different one. Why she was even engaging it it? Not for the money, the pay was subpar. As a contingency, a way to sow confusion? Maybe. But in the end she had to admit before herself she role-played the Moyr from before in this. For how long she would be able to justify this before herself? Time would tell.

She checked the audience rates and opinions. Not too favourable. 'Where is the jizz?', someone holochirped. Moldo was not going to pay for this... too much.

"Tomorrow will be better." She promised, then collected her things and left. It was time to change skins and name tags.

"I will my dear." He replied before signing off. The tables called he had to get back to his actual job.
