“Never ever.” You wink at the gal holding your hand, she smiles back with her fears dispelled.
“<span class="mu-s">I’M SORRY!</span> I didn’t mean to!” Debbie immediately bursts into an apology.
“P-Please, d-don’t t-take it as a s-slight!” Ajna feels terrible about this now.
“D’aww, you two care for each other.” You find their interaction adorable. You chose well. “Wait for me here, I’ll talk to my friend who will drive us there.”
“All right!” Debbie claps enthusiastically.
“G-Good, m-more time to p-prepare.” Ajna feels a little more relaxed despite the fact she’s going to meet a stranger.
You call Agent Goatee and ask for his services! Obviously informing him about what is going down. He doesn’t mind lending them, but lets you know that Rooke and the Hostage are still living in his apartment, in fact, the latter is giving all the money he’s getting from work. It’s not like he wants to kick them out, he’s just saying. What a weird dynamic, you might need to sort this out, but it does feel like it did on its own.
Anyway, you meet down in the building’s parking lot, both you and Debbie ended up holding Ajna’s hand and it looks as awkward as one would expect. Ajna decided this is the best way to reassure the big popstar that she didn’t mean anything by what she said before. Xavi doesn’t comment since he’s trying to make this experience go as smoothly as possible for the ladies. Despite that, you all get to talk and have a fun time getting to know each other.
You’re left in front of the music studio.
“Call me when you guys are done, I’ll be buying ice cream.” Xavi and Naiad wave goodbye. It was great to see them, even if briefly! He didn’t offer to buy you some though...
“See ya. Thanks for this again.” You wave at your great chauffeur. With a slight nod, the little man is off.
“What a nice lad! You’re surrounded by great people, Johnny.” Debbie was happy to meet him. They had no awkward interaction between each other! That’s a plus!
“Xavi is pretty cool, yeah.” You nod.
“H-He’s also our n-neighbor, I’ve s-seen him a-a-around.” Ajna adds.
“Woah, I wonder why that didn’t come up in the conversation.” Debbie has no idea. None of you do. You’re a bunch of weirdos who could probably hang out for months without knowing each other's names. “Anyway! On my mark!” Debbie leads the line, reminding you of the time you escaped with all the Pleasureville girls while invisible. You’re not in front this time though.
You’re inside the Music Studio! It’s a nice place, it has a nice carpet and a magenta tint on the lights, the walls are plastered with album covers of famous bands old and new. Despite your lack of knowledge on the subject, you recognize a couple, mainly Debbie’s because, you know, it has Debbie on it. Surprisingly, no Carol. She doesn’t record here.
