Snippet #2639740

Dai leaned back slightly and let the cymbals die down, still twirling a stick as he looked to the others. He knew he at least felt good about how today had gone. He had arrived somewhat nervous, his last project having been only a bit of piano work for a friend's group and he hadn't done too many albums prior to that. He felt significantly more relaxed now, getting an idea of how everyone worked in the studio, including Farah which was something else he had been a little concerned about - how they were going to work together. He was relieved that they seemed to work so well together, she seemed to fit into Azmodan really well so far and he was looking forward to continuing to work with them. He was also feeling better about his own capabilities since he hadn't done so many albums before. Oliver was grinning as he told them that they hadn't done half bad while Gavriel went about setting his new guitar down and laughed. "Not half bad." The vocalist repeated, nodding. "I think we're onto something with what we have. I say we head out for a couple of drinks, I think we deserve it." As usual he was out to have a good time.


Gavriel smiled and stretching out his long, lean legs as he took his seat again. He thought the day had gone well - Farah was definitely going to work out and he was liking some of the ideas they had going so far for the album. It would be nice to go out for the night too - they hadn't been out as a group in a little while and Gavriel thought it would be fun to hang out for a while and it would probably be a good way to get to know Farah too - that is, if she wanted to go.

"Are you trying to be a bad influence again, Gavriel?" Came a teasing voice from the door. Gavriel looked up, somewhat alarmed to find a young woman standing in the doorway. Her hair was cut short with little blue sections on each side of her face on the bottom layer of her hair and she had bright, almond shaped dark eyes. Her combat boots were splattered with various colors of paint though her dark skirt was clean as was the oversized sweater she wore and what looked to be a sketchbook peeked out from the flap of her satchel.

"Me? Never." The vocalist replied, feigning offense as he rose to his feet however that lasted mere seconds before a bright grin lit his face as he crossed the room and swiftly swept the intruder into a hug. "Kira, my angel, you have returned." He said, which made her laugh. She smiled and patted him on the shoulder as he released her and stepped back to face the others.

She offered a wave and a greeting to them before turning back to Gavriel, still smiling. "I take it today went well?" Kira asked, sounding hopeful as she glanced out at the group shortly before Daisuke came and embraced her as well and confirmed that he thought that the day had gone well.

"How are your monsters?" Gavriel inquired, looking faintly amused.

"Oh, quite well. Thank you." She replied, looking quite pleased that he had thought to ask. He smiled at the memory that had prompted the question - he had asked her if she might like to stay at the studio a while after she had brought him breakfast as he hadn't really thought that Oliver would mind. She had shaken her head and sighed, "I'd love to but I'm afraid I can't. My monsters need me." And with that she had stepped back outside and disappeared into the morning gloom of the parking lot. Gavriel had had to text her later to find out what exactly she had meant by that but he supposed that was just like Kira - she had always reminded him a little of a hummingbird always flitting to and fro. Apparently the theme of one of her projects was angels and demons - hence the monsters that she was drawing and painting. Gavriel had to thank the ever difficult lord of the stars for being such a massive piece - and pain in the ass - because Kira had run out one of her highlight colors and therefore had needed to leave her apartment anyway so bringing him something to eat hadn't been any trouble to her. He was glad that she had come back, he had been hoping she would since he hadn't seen her in quite some time.

When he looked back to his bandmates he suddenly realized that Kira and Farah had yet to be introduced. "Oh, right. You two haven't met. Farah, this is Akira. She's Daisuke's sister. Kira, this is Farah. She's playing bass for us now." Gavriel said, gesturing to each person in turn. Kira smiled up at the towering bassist. "Nice to meet you." She said, warmly.





Kai was closing the last of the snaps on his guitar case when Gabrielle said they should head out for a couple of drinks. He didn't especially care for the idea, if he wanted to drink he thought he would probably prefer to drink in the peace and quiet of his own home. It seemed that Vivi wasn't terribly excited about the idea either, saying that they needed to check their blogs however Gabrielle seemed to think they were in an episode of Star Wars and they needed to check on their borgs. Kai picked up their case and glanced at Evelyn who seemed to be trying to persuade them all to go. He really wasn't in the mood to be in a noisy bar surrounded by drunken fools. "I should probably just be heading back home." He told them, thinking of the last time he had gone to a bar. He had come back out with a split lip and several bruises because he had made the mistake of telling the man perhaps two inches away from him at the bar that what he was saying was both wrong and stupid. Which it had been and Kai hadn't been able to help himself because the fool man seemed to be shouting it for the whole bar - if not the whole world to hear. Kai didn't really want a potential repeat of last time, so he thought it would probably be best to try to avoid putting himself in a similar situation.
