[Lisa looks a little frustrated today... but she's holding her bright red bass today rather than her acoustic guitar, which is a fairly substantial change. As she talks she's idly plucking the strings, but that sure sounds kinda like LOUDER at some percentage of its normal speed...]

Man, I just feel so restless here lately. Not that I don't enjoy talking to everyone! I do, a lot! But... I didn't think I'd feel so unfulfilled on my summer break. I kinda wanna play a show, actually. Not just at a bar or something, wherever I can sneak in, but... a real show. Find an open spot at a music house or something and play a real live show, like the other me did. Sure, there's only the one of me, and I don't know how many fans I'd pull in, but- [She takes a breath, and lets it out slowly.] I want more than being the entertainment when someone wants to go do something else, y'know? I want to be the show. The main event, the attraction, the headline act! I'm a real musician and I wanna play like it!

[She flushes moderately; some on the network may recognize that she's been building up to this for a bit, and it's been on advice from people here.]

A-anyway! That's... yeah. Maybe for my birthday or something? Two weeks might be a little tight to arrange a space, practice a set, and do tickets or whatever, but if it doesn't work out, I'll find a way. One way or another I'm gonna play a set for my birthday, though. Count on it!

Oh. When is your brithday?

[traceofeffort]

On the 25th! So yeah, two weeks to learn a song, find a place, fill a place, and rock a house. No pressure.

[ashenscipher]

I would like come. Let me know the time and place.

[traceofeffort]

Mm, I will! I need to figure all that stuff out first, but once I do, definitely. I'll have a ticket with your name on it~♪

[ashenscipher]

You are wonderful.

Do you need help with anything?

[traceofeffort]

I'm... not sure yet. I think my biggest problem is that I need to find a venue still. The idea for this kind of snuck up on me and I'm not sure I can pull it off in time.

[ashenscipher]

I can help wit that.

[traceofeffort]

Really? Hmm... Part of me wants to say I should do it myself or it loses something, but I think I need to admit I need help.

[ashenscipher]

Why would it lose something? Musicians often have agents, event planners, and crew to help them set up their stage.

[traceofeffort]

You're not wrong... I'm probably just being weird again. Or maybe it's something from the other me. Gotta do everything ourselves. Myself, now. That, and I think my brain still says I'm too small-time for that.

Basically I'm being an idiot again. Shouldn't surprise anyone.

[ashenscipher]

Then let me help you and enjoy my services.

[traceofeffort]

I'll trust you, then. Thanks, Bitterblue. I owe you one.
