- >“I think you bit off more then you can chew here, Anon” Shots says as you look over paperwork
- >You take a small drag from your cigarette, then a drink before speaking
- “I've done this before, don't worry so much” you say cockily
- >“I know, but that was for bands, its harder to get a job for a DJ know pony knows” shots explains
- “All I need to do is get a good in a good word from her”
- > “And who has she played for?” shots ask
- >You look at him with a smile, it takes but a second for Shots to realize you mean him.
- >“Sorry Anon, I don't think a word from a bartender will be much good, or a old pony like myself”
- > You sigh, it was worth a shot. This just got harder
- >You continue to sort out the paperwork. You could do some favorites for people, but they might ask for something undo-able.
- >Like what happened with twilight... never again will you attend an 'experiment' of hers
- >You shiver before taking another drag from your smoke
- >“That's a very bad habit anonymous, I though I told you to quit” you hear a familiar voice call
- >You turn around to see the gray pony and smile
- “Hey Octavia” you say with a smile
- >She nods, then sits at the stool beside you
- >“What will you have young lady?” shots ask
- >“whiskey please” she replies. Shots is surprised by her answer, then he turn to you and you shrug
- “That's why we are friends, she's the only person that can keep up with me drinking” you smile
- >“Only Pony, Anonymous” she corrects
- >You smirk and go back to your work
- >“What are you working on?” she asks
- “I'm trying to get a friend of mine a job for her DJing” you explain
- >“May I ask who?”
- “Her name is vinyl scratch she like to do-”
- >“Dub step right?” she cuts you off
- “Yah... how did you know?”
- >“She use to play that junk all the time in collage, it kept everyone up all night” she explains
- “No way... you where her room mate? You two barely have anything in common”
- >“Well, we both like to drink”she shrugs, you crack a smile
- “well, where could I get her a job at?”
- >“Well you could try sugar”
- >Dose she mean an actual place or a pony? You really don't know the differences yet
- “Uhhh...”
- >She sighs “its a small dance club down mane street, they are always looking for entertainment, I can put in a good word for her if you want”
- “please”
- >Well that's a load off your mind
- “So, why are you back here anyway? Didn't you have to move to manehatten?”
- >“Well yes , but I'm in town meeting a friend and though I would get a quick drink first” she finishes off her glass of whiskey. When the hell did she have time to drink that so quickly
- “Wow... that was quick”
- >“i could have done it quicker if I wasn't talking” she say's
- >This Mare...
- >Octavia starts to get up from her stool “By the way...”
- >She grabs your smoke and puts it into your drink.
- >There go's your smoke... and drink
- >You shoot her a friendly glare and she smiles back
- >“Quit smoking, Anonymous” she says as she leaves the bar
- >Your smile continues as you turn your head to face shots
- >He places another glass and takes the ruined one.
- >“Well then, you got a break” he says
- “Yah, she's a good friend”
- >“How do you know each other” He asks
- “Octavia? We go way back, to the first day I showed up here actually”
- >Shots nods and leans over the bar to hear better
- “Yah... she helped me when no one did, brought me to her house and took care of me until I could get a job and pay for my own place”
- >Shots smiles at the irony “So where is this 'job'?”
- >You give a nervous smile
- “uh... well”
- >“I'm pulling your leg, Anon, You know your always welcome here” shots gives a warm smile
- >You lift your drink up in the air
- “Ill drink to that” you say
- >You down your whole drink then get up from your stool
- “Well I have a date with sugar to get too” you say as you walk out of the bar
- >“Its a name of a club Anon!” shots yells after you
- “Yah yah” you call back
- >You walk up to sugar and... wow you didn't think this place would be that big. Hopefully Octavia's work is good enough to get vinyl a spot, at least for one night...
- >You take a big breath and walk into the club
- >Meeting you on the other side, is a big muscular Pegasus.
- >Holy crap is he big... He comes up to your chest when most ponies only come up to your waist
- >“Can I help you?” he says in a deep voice
- “Oh, uh could I see the manager, please?” you say nervously
- >He look's you up and down then nods “Yes, follow me”
- >He leads you through the club and up a set of stairs to a hallway with one door at the end of it. He then lets you pass
- “uh, thanks...”
- >He nods again then go's back to his original spot
- >You are now standing in front of the manager's door. You stare at the door for a minute before taking a deep breath and...
- >“Come in already” you hear a voice from the other side of the door
- >You quickly open the door and walk into the office.
- >The office is a small square shape with a desk in the middle and a blue stallion sitting behind it
- >He looks up to you and motions toward the chair
- >You take the seat as fast as you can and wait
- >And wait...
- >And wa-
- >“Well? Why are you disturbing me?” He says
- “I, uh, I'm hear to see if I could get a job”
- >“Name?” he asks
- “Uh Anonymous”
- >He looks up from his papers to look at you
- > “Are you vinyl scratches manager?” he asks
- “Uh I guess you could say that, wait how did you know vinyl?”
- >“Octavia call not too long ago to tell me about your coming by today” he explains
- “Octavia huh...”
- >You Give a sigh of relief then smile. You owe that mare a drink
- >“Your friend will be able to perform in three days if that is alright”
- “Yes, thank you!” you say as you get up and extend your hand for a shake
- >The manager looks at your hand
- >Oh, right...
- >You are about to lower your hand, but the manager grabs it with his hoof and shakes
- >“You humans have a weird way of thanking people...” he jokes
- >You give a smile
- >“Th-Three day?!” vinyl basically screams
- “Yah, in three day's you will be Djing at a club called sugar”
- >Vinyl squee's and wraps her hooves around you in a hug “I could kiss you right now!”
- “it want only me, Octavia helped as well” you say as you loose your breath from her hug
- >Vinyl doesn't notice and keeps the hug going
- >“Vinyl, humans need air as much as we do you know?” shots explains
- >Vinyl looks at your blue face and finally releases it. She has a strong grip for a pony her size
- “Thanks shots...” you say as you get your breath back
- >Shots nods as vinyl tries to apologies
- “Don't worry about it, your excised I can tell” you manage to say
- >vinyl nods, then gets up from her seat
- >“Sorry to leave so soon, but I need to get prepared” she says then leave the bar
- >You and Shots nod as she leaves through the door
- >You give a sigh of relief and spark up a cigaret
- >“Why where you so nervous Anon?” Shots asks
- >You take a quick drag of your smoke before answering
- “well, I was nervous it wasn't enough time for her to prepare, she seems like a person who would put it off time the last minute”
- >Shots laughs at your comment “Thats true, but give the mare some credit, she's preparing right now”
- “But for how long”
- >...
- >...
- “Yah...” you say as you take another drag of your smoke “i've worked with enough Dj's to know that, sooner or later, they will be unprepared for a show”
- >“And when that time comes?”
- “Like I said, I've dealt with Dj's, you just give them a few songs to play easily and it will be fine”
- >Both of you nod in agreement and you take a drag of your smoke, after drinking from your glass
- >“So why did you stop playing, Anon?” Shots asks
- >You pause for a minute, why did you stop?
- “Well... if you have a guitar to play ill gladly play a song for you”
- >Shots smile's before going under the bar to grab, your guess, a guitar
- >And you were right
- “Wow shots, I'd think you have this planed or something” you joke
- >Shots gives a nervous laugh then hands you the guitar
- >You strum it for a while before putting your cigarret on a ashtry
- >Looking around, you begin to play
- >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtMy5IBmX7E
- >You finish playing the song and take your smoke out of the ashtry
- >“You may be good anonymous, but im better” you hear the fimilliar voice say
- “Well hello, Octavia” you say with a smile
- >Octavia walks over to the bar and sits on the stool next to you
- >“What will you have, miss?” Shots ask's
- “Anything she gets is on me shots” you say
- >Octavia looks at you in confusion
- “Its for helping me get Vinyl a spot” you explain
- >Octavia nods with a smile thanking you in silence, then she takes the drink
- >while shes drinking you finish your smoke and go to light it
- >Octavia gives you the disappointment look while you light it
- >You shrug
- “Its been a long day”
- >Octavia shakes her head and finishes her drink
- >“So what is she planing to call herself on stage?”
- “Dose she really need a stage name for this? I know a lot of people who dont use one”
- >“In earth it may be different but here, you need a stage name and a costume”
- “What, like your bow tie?” you tease
- >She pauses and looks down at her bow tie “i though it was nice...” she mumbles
- “Its a joke don't worry about it” you pat her on the back
- >“Still you need to come up with a name for her on stage”
- >You think about it for a minute...
- >What the hell do you call a mare like vinyl?
