Michi and the Letter

Her night out in the cold had come to an end sometime around 5 AM. Viki, unapologetically (which needed to be added), had unlocked the door and slid it open enough to startle Michi awake.

The mix matched blanket made make-shift bed had been Michi's target for the rest of the morning. She huddled within the confines of those multiple blankets until she warmed up enough to do something more.

First on the list? She made sure to do the dishes and finish the laundry. She didn't want to risk Viki returning home again and getting angry.

After that? She ventured down to the lobby of the apartment building.

She felt lucky to take the elevator, as it was out of order the night before, maybe that was a little spark of good luck she needed! Things were looking up!

I'm not a poof by doing this.. Michi thought to herself.

She totally wasn't a poof! This was normal, right? She wanted to make a new friend. Well, do would be friends call each other hot? Michi once said Addie looked nice in her outfit during some Mad Hatter party, but was quick to back it up with `But I'm not a poof or nothin'..`

She had written it in the letter at least once. Maybe that one time was all she needed to get the point across?

The more she thought about it, the more she realized she was reminiscing about the target of her letter; which had been Yasmin. The way she danced and lip synched on the stage, the outfit she wore, everything just seemed to connect so well with Michi that it drew her right in -- like a moth to a flame.

She shook her head then. Shake, shake, shake. Shake out those thoughts! She wanted to just meet her. She knew the woman did a radio show -- exactly, that's it! It was a good way to get Trash some attention on the public airwaves.

"Michi, you're a genius." She said to herself with a happy nod of her head.

Outside of the building she'd go. The mail drop-box had been only a block away, so she got there without much delay. Michi made sure to zig-zag about different puddles; it was like a game of the floor is lava!

It had rained during the night... and yes, Michi sadly had to huddle outside on the porch throughout it, but that was last night! She was trying to be happy and hopeful. Things were looking up. After all -- the elevator worked! Maybe she'll have a string of good luck today.

Michi looked down to the bulky envelope she held as she stopped in front of the mail box. A deep breath taken, held, and finally released only after she dropped the envelope into the box.

"Right," She told herself with a nod. "Today is going to be a good day!"

Michi turned around...

right as a car sped by.

A splash of dirty water met her head on.

Michi and Letters

"Ugggh.. this is so ******' gay.." Michi said with a groan.

A pen pinched between her teeth had been given a small nibble. She seriously had no clue what to write. Even with Addie and Misery's help, she could not put pen to paper. Finally, she had gotten fed up enough after watching random interracial porn gifs on Rhyddit... mind you, all of this had been on her phone, so she had to squint while viewing much of it ( and she'll swear she was doing it for research purposes ).

Nevertheless - it had, somehow, brought her attention back to her current task.

Writing that latter.

and the fact that she should probably get a better phone. That screen is seriously too small.

But, yes. The letter.

Michi scratched at the side of her head. Trying her best now, she'd begin to write...

Yas,

So I'm trying not to sound gay as **** and stalkerish right now. I sent you that latter with my bands EP and ****, and you might have written me back but I never got it. I don't live at that place anymore, thank whatever ******* god exists. But, okay, I'm not trying to sound like a total poof or nothing so don't take this the wrong way. Because, maybe you didn't write or anything, and that's cool, and I'm NOT trying to be a stalker right now. So if you didn't write back or something, just throw this away because :: a good two sentences are scribbled out, but some words could be made out, like `gay as ****`. ::

But yeah I still want to hang out if you want to. You know, we could make music together.

:: there's more words scratched out ::

Look. **** it. Here's my number xxx - xxx - xxxx*

But seriously if this is all stalkerish or some **** please don't feel weird

Michi

"... That's.. Good enough.." Face in palms after she shoved the note into a envelope.

Yasmin smiled as she received her second letter from Michi. The first came with an EP of her band, Trash, which Yas had played on her evening radio show. Yas had responded to the first letter, but she read Michi had moved. It was probably a good thing she didn?t get it since Yas?s first response probably made her sound like a poof, as Michi called it.

Yas sat down and hand-wrote her second note to Michi.

Michi,

Hey. Good to hear from you again. I was just about to get a little non-stalker-ish to find you since I didn?t hear anything back. Whoever lives at your old place now is in for a treat ? an autograph from me, addressed to you. You?ll find another one enclosed. Consider it a thank you for the cool gift you sent to me.

I just love Trash?s EP. I?ve been playing its songs on occasion as my station allows it, hoping to give you guys some press. I took note of Trash at the Battle of the Bands during Fashion Week cuz you guys were completely awesome. Don?t tell anyone, but I would have voted for you guys over my band any day. I couldn?t help but notice you especially. Blue is obviously my favorite color, and your blue hair looks quite sexy. I?m not saying that as a poof - It?s just fact.

I?d love to meet up sometime. Maybe the whole Trash crew can do an interview for my show. I should do a pre-interview with you first, though. You know, just to get some preliminary questions out of the way, like what?s your idea of a perfect date. That?s a pretty standard question for artist interviews, I think. Til then, always love to hear from you.

Yas

The letter was sent to Michi?s new address with a head shot of Yas in her signature look of sky blue skin and short white platinum hair, signed: To Michi. ❤ Yas

7/24/2015

Friday night in the Annex. It had been a few weeks since their date and Michi had been fretting about what exactly to text Yas in an attempt to spark some communication. She fidgeted atop the couch next to her friend with thoughts buzzing about in her head. What should she text? She didn't want to come on too strong, but she didn't want to seem too distant either. This was all too weird for her, but thankfully Addie had been there to help with some suggestions.

To Yas: hey were talking about getting back into the studio for some new songs you should come with and check out the new material. ;)

Michi spent a good five or so minutes wondering if the winky face would be weird or not. It's not weird, right? Totally not weird. No, wait, maybe she should change it to a normal smiley face?

Before she could decide the decision was made for her. Thanks again to Addie's finger touching to Michi's screen to hit the send button.

Michi was left flopping over and praying to whatever higher power or heroes up high that she didn't come off like a complete and utter weirdo.

A winky face, huh?

Yas typically used those when she was being extra witty or extra flirty. Michi?s statement didn?t seem witty, unless some pun flew over Yas?s head. It didn?t seem exceptionally flirty either, at least from its tone, though Yas was desperately trying to no avail to see if it could have been flirty in any way.

Being just as nervous, Yas went over in her head what to say and how to say it. Mimicking Michi?s style was probably a good start. Yas began over analyzing Michi?s sentence structure. General ?hey? greeting. That was good, simple, not imposing. No capital letters. No punctuation ?til the end. Yas could do that.

To Michi: super awesome send me details when you know cant wait to be your groupie. :)

She purposefully didn?t use a winky face only because her statement could be viewed as flirty all on its own, which is what she would have wanted anyway but since Michi?s was more tame, Yas figured the generic smiley face would counteract the flirty part. She didn?t want to scare Michi away with too much too soon. In fact, she waited until the next day to respond just so she wouldn?t seem needy or desperate. Yas had a knack for coming on strong for her audience, but Michi wasn?t just another audience member.

Michi

"Do you want it or not?" Michi barked out. One hand doing the `gimme, gimme gesture. "I'm not waiting here all day." She'd be waiting for only two more minutes into the guys buddy showed up with the extra cash. The trade off finally taking place and Michi couldn't be happier. Blue strands of hair brushed over a shoulder as she dropped to sit atop a nearby bench. Though she hadn't realized it at first -- her pants had been buzzing. She reached inside her pocket and pulled her phone free.

"Oh ****." She hunched over and used a hand to blot out the sun so she could better see her screen. She caught the name, but the message needed to be made out better. `super awesome send me details when you know cant wait to be your groupie.` Michi's face lit up in delight at reading that.

Then worry, but only for a brief moment, and only due to the fact that the ball was back in her court. She'd shift left, then right, and finally lay herself across the bench. A bird that shared the other side wasn't so happy about this and hopped away. "Okay, what the **** do I say.." Tongue clicked against the roof of her mouth as she tried to think of something.

To Yas: lets talk about details over lunch?? :P

That's still innocent and not at all needy, right? They smiley face helped too! Or so she thought. Michi looked over the text and think it over. She'd bite her bottom lip and commit to it.

Yas started up a request song during her evening show at WHAM! 101.1FM. Knowing she had about three minutes, she took a quick glance at her phone and smiled at Michi's message. She probably should have waited a bit, like until she was off work for the night, but she couldn't help herself this time.

To Michi: lunch sounds great how about tomorrow at noon?

There was a follow up text with an address of a small dive diner place on the outskirts of the Temple district.

Michi

Date: 2015-07-29 02:58 EST
Every now and then she looked to her phone. A vibration here, or a false one there, thinking a response would come. It's why she fished out a cigarette soon enough and lit up to try and calm down. Why is this so difficult? It's just talking to someone, there shouldn't even be this much nerves. Still, Michi's leg bounced some while she waited. What if she didn't text back soon? Yas was probably busy with work, so maybe she shouldn't worry too much about it.

"Right.." Michi tried to explain that to herself. She started to stand, but the next buzz of the phone had her sitting back down again and looking. It wasn't a random app announcement or anything else; instead it had been what she was waiting for.

Michi drew back her legs and with heels pressed to the bench itself, she'd push herself up to sit atop the back rest. Cigarette still between her lips while she read over and soon answered with a gleeful grin.

To Yas: Ill be there. ;)

Michi

Date: 2015-08-12 00:39 EST
Gossip rags and gossip had made it somewhat easy for Michi to get information on what happened Monday. One leg bounced while the other hung loose across the reclining lawn chair that she liberated from a pawn shop last week.

The idea to bring up the walk off had come to mind, but she didn't want to seem pushy. Second best idea? Go with the first one and reduce the words.

To Yas: :) hey want to come by and smoke a little?

Because pot helped everything. At least that's what Michi thought.

Yasmin

Date: 2015-09-19 22:33 EST
In the aftermath of a walk out, maybe closer to two dozen walk outs, plus an incident involving a couple of blow up sex dolls, maybe more like a whole orgy?s worth of sex dolls, Yas got a call from the Shanachie Theater owner that she wanted to meet with her and have a little talk. She knew what that meant. Yas was in quite a bit of hot water with WHAM as well, as they had cancelled one of her radio segments until she could ?prove herself? to them again.

Through all the repercussions she was facing, or would undoubtedly be facing soon enough, Yas was excited to see Michi?s message. It was such a simple statement, free of judgment and laid back enough to not ask a lot of questions that Yas just wasn?t ready to go into, but it meant a lot. As much as she loved getting the message, it started to trouble her. She always wanted to cause a big stir, but she never considered all that she had to lose. She had to get in good with WHAM again so they would continue to move along efforts with Trash. She wasn?t sure if WHAM would hold her transgressions against the band, but again, she wasn?t sure and she didn?t want to take that risk. Now she was focused on damage control, and it looked like this would be quite a project for awhile.


To Michi: I?ll definitely have to take you up on that offer a little later. Let me deal with a few things, and we can catch up in a bit.

?Hopefully I?ll have better news to give you by then...? she thought, then hit Send.

Michi

Sitting turned into laying down after she threw herself atop that frameless bed of hers. Michi hung off the edge some and stared down the boxcar she had made her home. It's like, totally a legit trailer. Though she needed to fix a few things up still; something that's a little hard to do when you have no idea what you're really doing. This is far from making forts on the beach with drift wood like she did as a child.

Michi kicked her feet up and pressed the soles of her boots against the wall. A soft bang, bang, bang came as she tried to occupy herself. Why? For one, she was waiting for her laptop to charge up. Two, her transition from chair to bed didn't mean she hadn't been any less antsy while she waited for the text.

The buzz from her phone caught her attention. Quickly, she'd bring it up to her face.

"Oh.." Later. Right. Well, she couldn't expect something big, right? Not when something seemed up. Michi sat up now and thought over what to text back.

To Yas: That's cool just text me whenever and we can do that stuff.

Sending that. She'd tap her knee a few times before adding another.

To Yas: Do you! ;)

Sent. Wait. She realized that might sound odd.

To Yas: Totally meaning do what you got to do. Not like do you as in do you.
To Yas: fuck I'm going to just stop texting now :oops:

Michi

Date: 2015-10-12 14:48 EST
Getting the final confirmation had Michi thrilled. The door of her trailer sent flinging open as she went to step out on that makeshift wooden porch she had built (which really was her throwing down pieces of wood and calling it a porch). Phone in hand and ass finding that white, plastic lawn chair.

To Yas: wondering if you're free for the 24th and 25th?? I got the band a gig at that con thing and thought you might want to go?

Yasmin

Date: 2015-10-12 23:06 EST
Yas had gotten a call from WHAM! 101.1FM saying that she needed to be at the IFLCon with some of the other radio personalities to sign autographs. Kicking herself for volunteering to do a seminar on top of it, she was in her apartment watching her seamonkies, debating what topic to talk about. Her random ideas being interrupted by her phone, she looked down and read her text. Any worries she had about the weekend dissolved as she read that Michi would be there.

To Michi: yeah, got to go for some WHAM stuff. I got to carpool with the rest of the gang on the WHAM bus, but we got space if you guys want to join for a free ride. you guys can stash your instruments and junk too.

Did that sound too forceful? She didn?t want to push them into it. She sent an additional one.

To Michi: if not, no big. we can catch up at the con. and if we hit the same hotel, I can meet up with you for the free breakfast. :)

Oh, great. That probably sounded like a stalker. Now she looked like a forceful stalker. Cuz that always bodes well.

Michi

Date: 2015-10-13 13:45 EST
There's three things good in life. Getting baked, getting drunk, and hanging out with friends. Currently Michi's doing one out of three of those things; drinking. Her knee bounced some as she sent a look to her phone every now and then, all while sipping on her drink. When the smartphone buzzed? She almost saw it sliding from her leg, which would have been a bad thing since that's how she lost her first, but a quick scoop up had her saving and bringing the device up to face level.

Did she appear somewhat disappointed at first? There might have been a second or two of a look, but she smiled soon enough. Maybe she thought she could have all of Yas's undivided attention that weekend; but anything is better than nothing!

To Yas: we have a stop to make before the trip over so we're going to take my van but lets meet at the con!! ;)

The talk of hotel and breakfast had Michi slouching some in her seat. Her cheeks a smalls shade of red.

Want to go halfsies on a room?

She began to respond. Wait. She shouldn't send that. Michi's leg bounced a little more due to nerves. Elbow to armrest helped her prop a chin against open palm.

"Craaaaaaaaaaap." Drawn out and everything. She'd delete that text and begin another.

To Yas: Want to have a movie date or something at the hotel? After the first night of the con??

Did that seem desperate or weird? Now questioning that, but she forced herself to hit send instead of dwelling on it. Now, instead of dwelling, she felt far too embarrassed and had to let out a small groan.

Yasmin

Date: 2015-10-13 20:22 EST
Yas couldn?t help but smile at the ?date? offer.

?Shouldn?t... shouldn?t... shouldn?t...?, she kept reminding herself over and over as she froze, holding her phone, desperately trying not to type her initial response. She was trying to be on her best behavior now, plus, this was supposed to be a work thing first and foremost. Knowing it was never good to mix business and pleasure, she was trying to keep them around people. On the bus with the WHAM crew and the rest of Trash. In the public dining area having an innocent breakfast.

She put the phone to her forehead for a minute, hoping that would help her think of how to best handle this.

To Michi: sounds good. you should surprise me.

She reread it after she sent. A hot second later, she tried to clarify...

To Michi: with a movie choice, I mean.

This time, she slapped her forehead with her phone. Oh well. No turning back now.

To Michi: looking forward to seeing you then. :)

Good thinking, Yas. Smiley fixes everything.

Michi

Date: 2015-10-13 23:46 EST
Having moved inside from outside since she finished the cigarette she had meant to smoke the whole time. Michi flopped onto that near bed found inside her trailer and looked out the curved window. One boot tucked against the other and applied a biiiiit of pressure -- then flop, the boot fell. The other did the same a few seconds later before Michi relaxed back.

Or, she tried to relax. It was hard when you're a little worried about how things will play out. The worry eased up a little when the chime of her phone drew her attention; but the text had her fretting a little more after reading it...

At least until the second one followed, then the third.

To Yas: surprise you with what ;)

That had her biting her bottom lip and snorting out a muffled laugh.

To Yas: ;) with a movie. I'll see you there and you better be ready to party!

Michi set the smartphone against her chest and sighed out. "Wonder what kind of movie she likes..?" she said, which followed after with a few blinks. Michi pressed a hand to her face. ".. I'm acting gay as ****." admitting with a smile.

Yasmin

Date: 2015-11-12 22:37 EST
Yas was freaking out when her agent, Eddie, told her the good news. She knew the first person she wanted to share it with.

To Michi: guess who got the lead on a new movie? your lovable little shapeshifter.

She paused, then added...

To Michi: guess whose band got the theme song offer for a new movie? my lovable little rocker chick?s. if you guys want it, of course.

Michi

"SHUT UP SHUT UP!" Michi was yelling out while hunched over one of those motorcycle arcade machines.

"You're going too fast!" Exclaimed the kid trying to tell her to slow it down.

Michi wasn't listening and sped up even more.. until her phone buzzed inside her pocket and she got caught up in surprise. She looked to the screen just in time to see the mini-man riding the motorcycle went crashing into a nearby wall. Blood splat.

Michi groaned out while reaching inside her pocket. Seeing Yas's name on the screen had her forgetting about the arcade game for now -- even if the kid was pushing at her to get off it so he could have a turn.

She lost the will to struggle against the pushing as she read the second text and dropped to land on her side against the dirty floor. ".. Oh ****."

Quickly. Michi texted back.

To Yas: Are you ******* me?! Please dont be ******* me!!! If you're totally not ******* me I'm totally going to make out with you tongue and everything (/O.O)/

Yasmin

Date: 2015-11-12 22:58 EST
Yas smiled as she read the text, happy to share the excitement.

To Michi: hell, I?d say yes now no matter what, but yep, it?s TRUTH. you?re makin? it big now! check up with the girls. you guys got some songs to do!

Michi

Date: 2015-11-12 23:02 EST
Michi now sat beside the motorcycle game. The kid leaning to the right every so often had the motorcycle bumping against the side of her head. Michi didn't seem to mind.

To Yas: **** i'm still all stunned and ****. okay I'm going to tell them!! YOU'RE THE BEST!! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:
To Yas: Congrats on your leading role too!!! i'll help you with lines and everything :cool: :cool: :cool:

To Yas: How did you like NOT break your ankle in those :shock:

Had been the winning text choice. The other options were `It's totally cold but you just warmed me up with that`-- but Michi stuffed her face against a pillow for a minute or two before deciding to send her second choice.

Rolling over after. Michi pinched at her top and peered down at her chest. The idea to send a picture back fresh on her mind. ".. Maybe if I," and then began to attempt to squish arms together to make it appear as if she had more cleavage, then the awkward attempt to angle the camera of her phone. With a flash - the picture was taken.

Michi sat up and looked at the photo. Insert a moment of depression due to small boobage. Think, think, think..

She then peeked behind herself, then flopped over on her stomach. "HA!" Michi exclaimed in triumph.

So the picture Yas did get? Would be a shorts covered backside shot -- even though there's a hint of pajama pants in there too since not sleeping in layers when you totally live in a non-heated trailer is downright stupid in this cold.

To Yas: +heartu+ +heartu+ brazil butt lift baby
To Yas: Only right you get a picture back!!! :cool: :cool: :cool:

Emoji coolness isn't at all how she felt after sending that. Embarrassment took over and Michi was left rolling on top of her bed.

Yasmin

Date: 2015-12-02 18:20 EST
The shapeshifter responded to the question...

To Michi: its easier when those ARE my ankles :)

Yas certainly wasn't expecting anything in return, though she definitely was happy to get it. With a wide smile, she knew she was going to have to keep that shot.

To Michi: super sexy, brazilian goddess. ;)

She wanted to add 'looks like I'll have to keep sending pics then' but thought better of it. She knew if she started, she and Michi would be at it all night, and not in the fun way she would have liked. But she had work early tomorrow.

Michi

Date: 2015-12-02 19:57 EST
To Yas: Brazilian goddess I wish. If only :( then I'd have bigger boobs

There would be a few minutes pause between the first and her next.

To Yas: this article thing came on my feed and like I'm wondering something..
To Yas: why aren't you boozing up with me :sad: :sad: :sad: we could be getting shit faced together :cool:

Yasmin

Date: 2015-12-02 23:34 EST
Considering she and her agent staged the whole thing, she should have been prepared, but she was actually a little embarrassed when Michi brought it up. Usually Yas was proud of her attention-whoring, but this was different. She never meant to make Michi feel left out. If anything, she tried to make sure the other actors weren?t around her for the pictures either, to protect them too.

To Michi: no worries. i?ll be sure to hit you up for the next time. ;)

Now she had to figure out how to get Michi involved without getting her, well, too involved in Yas?s publicity plays.

Time to call her agent to figure out the next game plan...

Michi

To Yas: We could always go to that winter ball thing. I bet they have some nice drinks there. :grin:

?Oh my gosh?, Yas thought as she read. ?The Yule Ball? It is so fancy. And I?m definitely... just... not.?

?You know what? I?ve done a lot to grow beyond my comfort zone in my acting. Why not grow a bit more? Yeah... I can do this.?

To Michi: heck yeah, let?s do it!

She typed and hit send before she could change her mind. Looking back over her message, she thought she should clarify.

To Michi: go to the ball, i mean. ;) see ya there!

Yas realized the latest headlines might get Michi a little nervous. She didn?t really want to go into it, but she wanted to let her know she was ok and excited for the upcoming movie premiere.

To Michi: hey girl! want to come check out the premiere for ?Rhydin Nights?? I?ll meet you for the showing and after party!

To Michi: if you want to color coordinate, I?ll be wearing white and black? and yellow.


Yas thought she?d better give Michi a heads up before she saw it all over the tabloids later?

To Michi: speaking of, I?m already taking someone with me through the red carpet. but don?t worry. it?s more of a publicity thing. he means nothing to me. in fact, he?s a real snake.

To Michi: anyway, no worries about the press, k? hope to see you there!

Michi

Buzzzzz... Buzzzzzz... Michi's phone vibrated atop wooden floorboards as sing-song chirps of song played along with it.

The night before last had been the end of Fashion Week, the night that TRASH main-evented the evening. The hype from the concert, the bangs and booms of the firework show, and the heavy dose of after-party had left the poor bassist still dressed in her stage wear and sleeping atop her bedding. Only getting up to wobble to the bathroom and stumbling back into bed soon after ( which she somehow kicked out of her boots during this ); Michi's next few days had been a pretty sleep-filled one. Blame it on the booze and probably a few other things.

She hadn't even caught the first set of texts, but the buzzing from the third was enough to stir the girl. She reached down from her frameless king-sized bed, which she totally bought from the Rhydin Nights soundtrack money, and swiped for her phone. She missed here and there but finally got hold of it.

"Hello?" She pressed it to her ear after swiping at the screen. "Hello..?" When she got no answer. It was then that the arm holding onto the phone fell atop the bed beside her and face nuzzled against her pillow.

Okay. Maybe it wasn't a call. Michi realized the ring-tone after a few more seconds. She sat up, rubbed at her eyes, and brought up the phone again to mess around until she got to the message screen.

Sniffling back, because she always did need to blow her nose after waking up. Michi read the texts, rubbed at her eyes a little more, then re-read them again after getting her sight a little more focused.

The first smack of hype at being invited to the premiere had her heart beating a little faster, but the later text about how Yas' had someone for the red carpet part made Michi frown a little; though she felt a little better after reading the rest.

Still, a party's a party, and it gave her a chance to hang out with Yas. Their schedules made it a little hard, so she could be thankful for that.

To Yas: you woke me up :sad:

She tapped her phone a little in thought.

To Yas: Yeah! :grin: I'll meet you there
To Yas: but you're totally leaving with me and hitting up my place to make up for the red carpet stuff

She grinned a little, though it quickly faded away when she realized something. She needed to get an outift.

To Yas: Hey we're doing a gig at this loaded chicks wedding next sunday!! Come as my date and you get all the free food you can eat. There's going to be slow dancing ;-)

Yasmin

Yas smiled as she read the offer. She had been working hard lately and could use a bit of a break.

To Michi: free food. good music. great company. I?m in!

She would be good this time and not try to upstage the bride on her special day. It was the least she could do if she would be getting free food.

Spoon between her lips and a bowl of jiggling red jello in her lap. Her television sounding out with a "You are NOT the father!" along with the sound of screaming and clapping. Michi laughed and reached out for the buzzing phone sitting next to her.

"Yes!" Arm pumping at what she read.

To Yas: Then let's go outfit shopping sometime this week. Need to spend that movie money. I'll even totally buy lunch.

Text to the Squad ( Addie & Miz ): Group tattoo when?

Michi

Up early, or at least early for her, and being out and about. Michi ran across a flyer for the Shanachie Ballet's Spring Gala while on her way to pick up some new strings for her bass. One name on the list of performers stuck out to her; which is why she'd be firing off a text as fast as possible.. Nevermind how she almost walked into someone as she did so.

To Yas: Why didn't you tell me you were going to be in a ballet thing?!
To Yas: Hook me up with a ticket so I can come watch you
To Yas: I totes promise not to super obnoxious and be on my best behavior... at least until after the show is over :P

Yasmin

Considering how much she tried to draw attention to everything else she was doing, Yas was keeping her involvement in the ballet event pretty private. She didn?t want her usual flash-bang style to throw off the true professionals.

To Michi: check the mail. tickets on the way for you and the girls if they want to check it out. if not, they?ll make nice mother?s day gifts. :)

Yas made a mental note. She?d have to start getting things ready for the WHAM! 101.1FM Request Line in honor of Mothers? Day pretty soon?

Michi

Date: 2016-04-28 09:20 EST
if not, they?ll make nice mother?s day gifts.

Lips took on the shape of a frown as Michi read that. It's not as if Yas knew of her situation, so she wouldn't fault the girl. Still, it brought into question some thoughts that plagued Michi's mind. Her mother was here, in this time, yet -- could she be called that? Or, yeah, she is! But.. It's confusing. The same could be said about her dad; someone who she only knew from pictures and stories. Someone who, oddly enough, didn't quite live up to the hype built up in her mind when she saw the one that strut around this universe.

At least her mother, the Seirichi here, didn't seem to be forcing smiles one minute then looking sad the next while staring out at the ruins of old Adenna across the sea.

Michi's vision blurred some as her eyes watered up. A dash of fingers across eyes, followed by a few snorts and a couple repeated thoughts of `Woman up, Michi!`.

To Yas: Thanks! :grin: Can't wait to see your performance! Hugs kisses and all that!!

Phone dropped into cup holder and hands set to wheel. She really, really felt like eating her bad mood away right now. So maybe she'll go sneak into Miz's school again and grab herself some food.

'Better to talk about in person'? Kinda cryptic, but everyone loves a surprise. Nothing could go wrong there.

To Michi: you know I'm in. for the meet, and for whatever the band's up to now.

She'd probably live to regret the open invitation, but what the hey. 'Say yes first; ask questions later' was Yas's personal motto.

Voice message left on Yas's phone.

"H.. Hey! Yas! It's Michi, so, uh.. remember when you wore blue shoes that one time we went out? I really, really loved them.. and I know I should've said that before, but I was - like.. distracted, cus you're really pretty and stuff, but, yeah! I loved them! Call me back, and, you know, we can go out somewhere before the tour starts.. Bye, bye! wait that sounded gay, I mean.. ****."

There's a reason behind this.. and it's a literal skeleton, who is also gay, told her that she screwed up by not telling Yas she loved her blue shoes in the past. Michi had to make amends since she didn't want to ruin anything!

Yasmin

Date: 2016-05-26 08:11 EST
?When in the world did I wear blue shoes?? Yas thought while listening to the message. She wore green shoes at the Ballet Gala, orange red shoes at Beltane, black shoes at the Movie Premiere, cream ones at Fashion Week, and? blue during the Yule Ball! A flattered Yas couldn?t help but smile. It was one of the few occasions she went out to an event that wasn?t just about business. In fact, the only time she really went out and did anything not related to promoting something for work, it was because Michi asked her to go. Who knew Michi could be a good influence?

Yas made a quick text back.

To Michi: got your message! we should grab some coffee and bagels at that one place we went to after the midsummer?s night bash.

Yas could remember things, too. The event, eleven short months ago, was a special night for her. Not only did she get the honor of deejay-ing the Governor?s event, but the impromptu dinner afterwards was their first real ?date?, or ?real? enough to Yas anyway. The spontaneity of it was pretty cool, too. In fact?

To Michi: i?ll meet ya there tonight! around 7p. :)

Yas would be sure to wear those blue shoes Michi liked.

Xzavier's statements had worried Michi for most of the night. She only hoped that the blue shoes comment came across well, because - what if it came across weird?! What if Yas was still sore that Michi never said she loved them before? The blue-haired bassist still had no clue why not saying that she loved Yas's blue shoes were such a big deal, but it was better to be save than sorry when it came to these things! You only have your totally real first love only once, and she didn't want to screw it up!

His other tid-bits of help and suggestions also made the night more awkward.. because being told to study lesbian porn is weird as ****.

".. I bet he was ******** me.." she finally muttered halfway through some scene from Cuffs and Collars. She then also realized that all women prisons could be a dangerous place, and she totally didn't want to be someones bitch neither, not after her living arrangement when she first found herself stuck in this realm.

Longstory short. She felt like a total weirdo for sending the voice mail by the time she crashed at around 4 AM.

champagne, cocaine, gasoline
And most things in between
I roam the city in a shopping cart
A pack of camels and a smoke alarm

This night is heating up
Raise hell and turn it up
Saying, "If you go out you might pass out in a drain pipe."
Oh, yeah
Don't threaten me with a good time ♪

The tune began to ring out and her phone buzzed across the wooden floorboards. Michi groaned at first, but when the lyrics were recycled for the second time ? that's when she made her grab.

Rubbing at her eyes and yawning. Michi didn't realize what the text might be about, thank you being half asleep, and half expected it to be Addie talking about something; probably related to dick riding when she thought a little more about it.

It was instead Yas! That had Michi bolting upright and sitting cross legged on the bed.

"Okay.. it's all cool, you got this, girl." Michi didn't see the message just yet, for now she'd be staring at the little bubble-shaped picture of Yas's face. Michi then closed one eye, squint with the other, and tapped the screen to open the message.

Once she read it? She collapsed back and let out a very, very happy sigh. ".. It worked.. I owe that dude a drink."

"I got a date!" She yelled out loud. Most likely the neighbors the floor below could hear it, but she didn't exactly care. Addie too, maybe - but she had no clue if the girl was sleeping on her couch right now or not.

To Yas: Ill totally be there!! :grin: ;-) See you there!

Phone held to her chest and eyes pinned on the ceiling. Michi laid there and basked in a job well done.

The night was spent raking in the tickets at an arcade. Addie wasn't lying when she said Romeo had a way with putting balls in holes, skee balls that is. Michi only needed two hundred tickets until her month long crusade to gain the perfect arcade prize was complete. And tonight was the night.

Obviously she spent far more money trying to WIN this prize compared to just buying it outright with cash. Blame tunnel vision or the fact that she wanted to win it for Yas, who knows, but she got what she wanted. All that's left is the delivery.

Dropping it off as Yas's work during the middle of the night probably wasn't the best idea, but it's not as if Michi would be sleeping much tonight anyway. Not with the pre-hype jitters she's feeling. The night post-arcade would be spent trying to work on her song, watching TV, and trying-not-to-worry-too-much and hope Addie didn't do anything too foolish since her ass showed up at said arcade baked out of her mind.

Is it weird that she's being the responsible one right now? Totally weird.

Now what had been left at the station lobby, behind the front desk and waiting for Yas in the morning?

A stuffed bear. A huge stuffed bear. The kind that can totally lay in bed with you. Don't worry, she made sure to slap Yas's name on it with a sticky note.

As Michi left the station behind, and after lighting up a cigarette, she'd begin to text a message to Yas. Here's hoping she didn't wake her up.

To Yas: theres something waiting for you when ya get into work tomorrow

She'd exhale some smoke and look both ways before crossing the street, then continue on with another text.

To Yas: and come by the marketplace around lunch
To Yas: going to be a surprise so dont miss it! ;-)

Winkyfaces are cool, no matter what Addie says.

Yasmin

Date: 2016-06-04 20:42 EST
To Michi: ok! see you for lunch.

Yas texted before she arrived bright and early to the WHAM! studio the next morning. It was an oddity in itself since the DJ worked evenings, but after seeing Michi?s message, she was too excited to wait until she got into work. Besides, she had to meet Michi for lunch later and wanted to be able to thank her, but had to know what she was thanking her for.

When she got into work, there were a few security cars leaving from where they had been pulled up onto the sidewalk in front of the building. Once she got inside and made her way up to the WHAM! studio, Yas inquired about their presence to the secretary on duty. She informed her that there was a suspicious item left in the station lobby behind the front desk. A giant stuffed bear with an attached note with Yas?s name.

At first the secretary suspected it was from Yas and avoided it because she was afraid it might explode with confetti and balloons, which Yas may have done a few times in the past with random stuffed animals and toys she left around the office. But when one of the interns came in and mentioned that it may not have been from Yas, but to Yas, they remembered her run in with a drunk fan just a few months prior and were afraid it was a bomb.

Security was called out. The building was evacuated. The bear was cavity searched. It was a huge ordeal.

Yas listened to the story with a horrified expression on her face. She looked to the poor, violated bear and could swear it had the same look of horror in its little glass eyes. ?Michi doesn?t need to know about any of this,? Yas whispered to the bear as she left, keeping him close to her.

Text to Yas: So like.. I know we've been busy and stuff but I won this prize thing right? Something for a custom wardrobe makeover from the Heavenly Boutique or like that's what it says..

Text to Yas: I was wondering if you wanted to go? Maybe do that and get some lunch.. or dinner, dinner could be cool. There's this nice fancy place in New Haven we can go to and it's like part of a hotel, so if it's too late we can totally get a room..

Text to Yas: Not like I'm saying stuff about.. you know but like you know we can just chill and maybe watch a movie and relax and crap. But we're totally making out!

Wait. Maybe she should delete the last part. Their relationship, or could she even call it a relationship? She didn't know what level they were at or what really was going on! It was awkward, though Michi herself is awkward when it came to most things outside of playing her bass and writing music, so she wasn't too sure.

"Screw it.. I want it." She muttered to herself when she sent the text.

Michi had been sitting hunched over and cross legged atop her bed as she pressed thumbs to smartphone screen. Excitement clearly written all over her face. Yas wanted to see her in a new, nice dress? Who was she to deny that! It'll have to be done.

Text to Yas: We're having the album release slash Miz's birthday party on the 14th. :grin: :grin:
Text to Yas: Want the hook up? WHAM could hit it up for some live coverage. Be the first station to get the rest of the new stuff first.
Text to Yas: btw this is totally an excuse for you to go to the party as my date. :cool:

Yasmin

Date: 2016-10-02 20:59 EST
?Friday could work?, Yas thought to herself. Her role of Angel in the Shanachie?s Rent just got over, so she?d have a little bit of free time to take a break that weekend. Just a little break though, since whenever she wasn?t performing on stage, WHAM! 101.1FM would make sure she got enough time in on-air.

She paused in mid-thought as she read the follow up responses.

?Two weeks in a row? And even after a whole weekend? I don?t know? I know me, and most people can only handle hanging with me in low doses?? Yas worried, ?What if I scare her away??

It would be ok, she eventually decided. If things were going south between them by Miz?s party, Yas could equally claim she was there on business and would keep it pro-mode only.

To Michi: Count me in for both!

As soon as Yas heard that Mataya was having a holiday party, she was immediately on her phone.

Text to Michi: How about you and me going to the Shanachie Winterfest Party?
Text to Michi: There's supposed to be free food and an open bar!

She remembered Michi sometimes liked to know the dress code, so she added...

Text to Michi: I'm wearing a blue and black dress, but I'm not going fancy or anything like that. :P

".. No, that won't work.." Michi was muttering to herself while scribbling out a few lines from a new song she's working on.

Ding-Ding!~

Her phone buzzed and rung off to the side. The distraction almost had been ignored, at least until she realized it had been the ringtone chosen for...

"Oh ****." Acoustic guitar set off to the side before she leaned back to snatch up the phone from her bed.

Winterfest Party? Free food and an open bar? Both of those things were pretty big perks, but the number one thing that had her hooked from the start? A moment to spend some time with Yas.

Text to Yas: You had me at free food :P I'd love to go.
Text to Yas: Blue and black? I'll make it work! You going to pick me up or should I come and get you?
Text to Yas: And want to make a full night of it? I can rent some swanky new haven hotel room after the party. One with a jacuzzi. Total Yulething gift splurging.

So, he'd heard about that cardinal rule of "don't text or call someone right off" else it made you looked desperate and lame, right? Well.. hadn't quite meant to wait damn near a week to send a simple text. The week had been insanely hectic between the protest, running into his old BFF out of nowhere, and a few things in between.

When he finally felt like he had a moment to breath.. well, that idea had been tossed out the window as he left foot trails over the carpet wondering what the hell he was going to say. Glacier pools kept looking at the message he'd had open for about fifteen minutes by now with that blinking slant that felt like it was taunting him.

Type something you idiot!

And because it was short, and sweet.. and safe. It was a point to start from.

Text to Miz: Hey

"Nailed it," he muttered.

Text to Frankie McHottie: Hey, there's going to be a party at the Dockside Warehouse tomorrow night. You should come by.
Text to Frankie McHottie: The wall, right was you right?
Text to Frankie McHottie: Its really cool. :cool:
Text to Frankie McHottie: Thanks.

Text to CreepyGrrl: Uh, yeah. Yeah. the wall was me. don't mention it. i'm just glad you like it.
Text to CreepyGrrl: suits the Baroness better than freak I think
Text to CreepyGrrl: party tomorrow at dockside? count me in

It was probably a good thing that this happened over text messages and not in person. The coffee table might've jumped out to trip him. It definitely wasn't from a failed victory dance.

To the members of Trash,

I was wondering if you would be interested in doing a show for the teenagers of Rhydin as part of the Children's Day activities on 13 April. The main event is on 15 April and it would great to see you all there, too!

Thanks,

Maggie Harker

(( Events for everything but the 15th are planned as vapored/board events.))

Miss Harker,

Thank you for your request. We are available on the 13th of April and would be glad to join you for Children's Day. We'll be prepping for our Spring Break tour the following week so likely would not be able to make the event on the 15th. All the same, we're sure it'll be great.

Looking forward to it,
TRASH

A letter was sent in care of TRASH's Public Relations Dept.

To the members of TRASH,

Last year, you were a smashing success for Children's Day! I'm hoping you will be willing to help out again this year. There will be a concert with several groups participating on Saturday, 14 April in the Marketplace. The performances will be part of a festival to honor the memory of Lirssa Sarengrave al-amat, who passed away earlier this year.

Thank you for your consideration,

Maggie Harker

After a brief discussion, a missive was dispatched in return to Miss Maggie Harker.

Maggie,

We would be delighted to take part again this year. Please let us know if you have any special requests and we would be glad to try and incorporate them.
