Snippet #2518742

Kodie found it a little unnerving how she was starting to get used to the drummer's antics as she watched him dislodge his foot from a very unhappy person's lap. She followed the skeptical little drummer around as he fucked around with his phone for a while which had gradually made her more and more impatient. "Maybe we should let the technology whiz handle it." She said, after a few minutes, nodding toward Craig who was probably the most well versed in how to handle technology such as that. Kodie wasn't a big fan of fancy phones for the exact reason same reason Cormac was having trouble.

After a while though, he finally seemed to be able to get the demonic little piece of technology working and then after taking a picture of himself with that nifty little camera thing he got some help from Izzie astonishingly enough. Maybe Craig was right and Izzie did care about Cormy in her own special way.

Once he got the GPS working he ended up taking them on quite the adventure, through an art art museum and LGBT+ festival where they saw...Izzie? Craig leaned way over into Kodie's personal space trying to see around her apparently, wearing an expression that implied he wasn't entirely sure what he was seeing.

After that, their journey was surprisingly short, all the while their guide was muttering to himself until they actually stepped foot inside. He then inquired as to what they were going to be doing.

"Don't know about you, but I for one am going to go check out the new death metal releases. Kodie, I take it you're going to revel in your ultra dark, kvltness?" Craig asked.

"Nah, I think I'll join you." Kodie said, shrugging. She wanted to see what was new and figured they probably wouldn't have that much black metal anyway. As they made their way over to the metal section, they quickly realized they weren't the only metalheads present.



There was a couple guys in the same aisle that Craig could've sworn he'd seen last night during one of the performances but he didn't say anything as he started to look through the most recent albums, Kodie picking up a Hypocrisy album and flipping it over to look over the tracks.

"Kodie...Toivonen?" Craig looked up in surprise to see the drummer of one of the headlining bands standing before them. He couldn't remember his name, but he recognized him easily enough. He was tall, taller than Craig was and asian with hair down past the middle of his back. His features were what would be considered strong and he had the toned arms of a guy who worked out although he was still slender and probably around their age. He guessed he was what most girl's would consider attractive. Craig slowly turned to look back at Kodie whose face was completely wiped clean of expression and if she thought he was attractive or was surprised by him knowing her name, she certainly didn't let on that she felt that way. For a minute he didn't think she was going to respond.

"Ah, yes. Daisuke." Kodie said and for a minute Craig thought he was going to freeze to death from the cold that radiated from her voice. Damn. He guessed the two were previously acquainted.

Daisuke was unruffled by this, so it seemed. He approached a little more cautiously than he had before, however.

"Right..." Criag heard a little awkwardness creep into the drummer's voice. "It's good to see you again. What has it been...Three years?" He asked, turning the heads of a few of his bandmates and Craig got the uncomfortable feeling of being in the center of a show and took a step back, looking around for Cormac.

"Thereabouts." Kodie replied as she set down her CD and crossed her arms, the tension between them still solid.

Daisuke was quiet for a moment before nodding slowly. "Anyway, I see you're playing for Psychosis now. That's good." He said, looking back at Craig and Cormac.

"Temporarily. I see you've done well for yourself." Kodie's tone was neutral enough.

"Yes, I've been rather lucky. I'm glad you seem to be doing well. Perhaps we could catch up sometime?" He asked, his voice betraying a hint of hopefulness.

Kodie didn't look like she wanted to catch up, but she merely nodded. "Sure." She said and then quickly turned back to her bandmates. "We had things we wanted to look at in here, didn't we?" She asked, clearly not wanting to continue this conversation with Daisuke.





Chris stared at Alex blankly as she damn near choked on some gum, managing to get something about 'no' and 'Lestari'. He wasn't sure what exactly that meant, lucky for her he was too tired to be able read too much into that although he was definitely suspicious. What on earth could have made the usually so stoic guitarist that uncomfortable? In his current state his mind wasn't functioning well enough to pull together a scenario that was all that plausible. Then she started giving him a little too much information and he quickly backed away from the subject matter. "Okayy, I don't need to know that much." He said, holding up his hands as though he could physically hold back anything else she could say on the matter. Maybe he should leave the topic alone, although part of him wondered if maybe she'd gone back out with Lestari after they left and had a little too much fun, although he didn't think he'd ever seen Alex really drink. Although she didn't appear to be hungover...Chris' brow furrowed as though he were trying to solve a difficult math equation in his mind.

"Well, you look like the corpse of Lenin on display in the Red Square, so how 'bout we go grab something to eat? I'm pretty sure Liam's already down there, and Lestari..." Ah, that sounded more like the Alex he knew.

"Right." He was too tired to comment on the less than pleasant comparison. "that's probably a good idea." Chris said, nodding slowly as he studied the guitarist's face. Why was she acting all weird at the mention of Lestari? Did something happen? He didn't have much time to ponder this as they arrived rather quickly into the dining area where the young drummer was engaged in conversation with Liam.

Rather than giving the guitarist her usual, excited greeting, Chris watched as Lestari gave a little jerk of surprise when she saw Alex. There seemed to be an awkward sort of tension between the two. Chris squinted at the two, wondering what possibly could have happened. The two usually got along great, did they have a fight or something?

"Good morning." Said Liam, who broke the silence.

"Ah...So, you two aren't going to team up to mock me this morning?" Chris asked, looking from Lestari to Alex and then back again. Normally by now the drummer would have said something none too kind about his face and then Alex would chime in with an equal or less kind remark.
