How much does a bird normally go for?
It’s alright. Because it needs a new home. It’s, uh, the kind that some people keep as pets. I’m not really an expert on birds.
Couldn't keep up with the little guy? So like a parakeet or something? I don't really know much about them either but the neighbors back home had like two of those and I could hear them all the time just chirping away.
How much does a bird normally go for?
I already have a bird.
I’m looking to sell it.
Oh.. well then I have no clue. Sorry.
Why are you getting rid of it? What kind of bird do you have?
My class asked me to teach them how to make something explode
I thought about telling them, but the odds are it will happen anyway if they followed the instructions wrong.
Isn't that what science classes are usually about though?... unless you don't teach science and some kids are randomly asking you to make book explode in your English class.
How much does a bird normally go for?
You can probably try and get one free... you know, just try and catch it.
My hotel room is missing a lock...
When I was younger my mom was in the band but she didn’t want to be in it anymore. It’s usually other people, sometimes friends of my dad. Really? I don’t think it’s too hard but I grew up around instruments. I’m really only good at playing the drum though. My dad’s best with the guitar.
Where’d you grow up? Yes, it does. It can feel like you’ve been hit with a ton of bricks once the exhaustion catches up with you.
Late last night. We got our hotel key this morning. I’m not really sure we’ll be needing it though. How long have you been living here?
Oh okay, wow so you've been doing this for a long time huh? That's so amazing. Yeah, I mean I'm not the best when it comes to reading music so that probably doesn't help. But I do like to make up songs. Drums are cool, I like drums... well watching people play them.
I grew up in Colorado with my family. Oh wow, yeah I can believe it. Well, I commend you then for being able to put up with that constant moving around.
Ah, okay I see. Oh really? Not planning on staying in your rooms very often? Oh, I moved here lets see... about two weeks into the new year.
My hotel room is missing a lock...
I think so? Except it’s kind of just me and my dad. We used to have more members though. I play the drums but sometimes I help with vocals. I’m sure my dad will book some shows for us but we’re just taking a break.
It’s tiring always being out on the road.
Yes, it’s nice meeting you too.
Oh wow, that's really cool. I love music! Was it more of your family or just other people? I wish I knew how to play an instrument but I'm really bad when it comes to stuff like that. Oh, I can imagine, I mean I've never really traveled much before moving here but I can bet it gets tiring being on the road so often.
So did you just arrive in town today or something?
My hotel room is missing a lock...
I’ll see what my dad has to say when he comes around. Oh, that seems nice then. I like quiet towns. Yes, sometimes. I’m in a traveling band. We don’t always stay in hotels but we’re going to be here for awhile.
I’m Soshana but most people just call me Shana. Well, my dad calls me that and I like it. What’s your name?
Wow, a traveling band? Like the Partridge family? That's really cool. What do you do? What brings you here? Like a performance or something?
That's a pretty name, well they both are. Nice to meet you Shana, I'm Keira... just Keira.
My hotel room is missing a lock...
Yes, a little bit. I’ve been in worse hotels though. I’m just wondering if there’s another room or if this town is safe. I might just sleep in my van.
Yeah, I would maybe ask for another room if there is one available. Umm, from what I hear this town is pretty quiet, it has seemed that way since I've been here at least. Do you stay in hotels often?
My hotel room is missing a lock...
Well that sounds a little sketchy.
Ah, see! It’s never easy navigating through a new town. Colorado? I’m from Chicago, originally, but I haven’t been back home for a few years. Aside from family visits, of course. At least you wandered into the more populated part of town, there’s still some streets I haven’t even gone down.
Let’s see if we can get you turned around. Oh, yeah, I’ve been there before. My sister’s friend has done art shows there. It’s just down the street so I’ll walk you. Then maybe you’ll recognize the rest of your way from there.
No, not at all. Especially when you come from a much smaller one as well. Oh Chicago, wow! What brought you way out here if you don't mind me asking? Oh yes, I got lucky then, I suppose.
Oh fantastic! You are a life saver, I really appreciate it! I haven't actually been inside the place before but I always pass it by and it always catches my attention. But maybe I should be spending more time getting to know the street signs then staring at buildings.
Are you alright?
Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine.. fine, totally okay. Just seem to be a bit lost.
Oh, Jeez. Okay, I’m going to take a wild guess here and assume that you’re probably new around town? Because that would explain a lot.
Sometimes things just happened. If I had a dime for every time I forgot something then… well, let’s just say rent wouldn’t be a problem. Do you remember the name of your street? Or maybe a landmark it’s near? I’ve been living here for almost two years now so I have a pretty good idea of where most things are.
I’m Rose, it’s nice to meet you.
I am, yeah. I just moved here a few days ago from Colorado. I'm staying with my uncle who's been helping me navigate around town but he's been gone for the past day so I've been sort of wandering around on my own.. and getting lost apparently.
Yeah, I guess I just get so distracted easily that I tend to forget where I am and things like that. I'm like a bad squirrel or something. Umm, I don't remember the name but it's near this community theater? Like around the corner from it. I'm hoping you know that area well.
Nice to meet you, too.
Where were you headed?
I think you need to take a deep breath and just relax. I’m sure that everything will be alright. Everyone gets lost sometimes, it’s nothing to be ashamed about. I’ll try to help you. What’s your name?
Uh, this is probably going to sound bad but, my house?
Yeah, I just feel a little ridiculous that I can't even find my way back to the place I'm living. I feel like I need to leave breadcrumbs or something next time. Thank you, though for the offer, I would really appreciate that. I'm Keira. And yourself?
Right, it looks like I'm already lost.
Well, this is going just great. Not embarrassing at all.
