Snippet #2423896

Edei simply continued to stare in wide-eyed awe at the interaction between the brightly colored gal and the rest of the room. A quick grin flashed over her lips as Cormy responded and she had to laugh at his words. “Izzie hasn’t killed her yet either, which is weird. I don’t know how to take that. The only reason I haven’t been murdered yet is because I am pretty sure that my unpredictability keeps Izzie on edge. But fuck if I can beat that kind of unpredictability.” She lifted a hand, motioning for Raisa once more. “Shit. If Izzie gets used to that kind of crazy I should start looking for a new band. I won’t be half as scary to her anymore.”

The long-haired dude that had been introduced as Liam made his way over to their little corner of the lobby and Edei gave a wave upon his approach. “You get used to that?! Grawr.” Edei clutched her heart and dramatically went tumbling back into a laying position upon the couch once more. “You poor thing. You can come hang out with the few of us that aren’t bat shit crazy anytime you wish.”

Raisa cast Izzie a look as the Psychosis singer bemoaned her keylessness. “They’re keycards. You’ve never used one before?! Haven’t you ever stayed in a hotel before? Shit, Iz.” The drummer snickered and took her own pile of key cards, flipping through them as she circled Izzie to stare at the map of the hotel that was posted by the front desk so she could choose the room closest to the end of the group. One time she had been stuck in a room in the middle of Alex and Liam and her constant chattering on Skype with friends had driven them to the breaking point. They had almost exiled her to another floor before she had promised to use her inside voice.

“It’s to prevent theft. Though I assume you have as much shit worthy of stealing as you did back when I first met you.” Flashing another grin at Izzie, Raisa shifted the cards in her hand once more like she was shuffling a deck for poker and that inevitably brought a new topic to mind.

“Hey! When we all get settled in, we should play a game of cards! Poker, blackjack, what have you. Fuck if I know what everyone knows how to play but I am a goddamn poker champion. Just not that Texas Hold ‘Em crap. Takes too long. Five card stud now that’s where it’s at.” She tugged Izzie’s wrist again, dashing away from her just in case the singer had another convulsive fit of violence and tried to slam her head into the nearest wall and she wandered back towards the two bands. Situating herself between Jack and Alex she plucked a keycard from her pile and handed one to each of them before wandering off to Liam and presenting him with the last.

“I am going to check out my room! Maybe we got balconies this time! We could parkour that shit and jump from room to room. They put us all together again! 708 through 711!”

“Sooo….” Edei tried her best not to hide behind Cormy as Raisa approached them and instead she turned her questions towards Liam. “Not your first tour, I take it?”

Just as quickly as she appeared Raisa traipsed away, heading in the general direction of the elevators and Edei momentarily pondered staying in the lobby for a bit.
