Location: Alley behind The Hub Diner

Time: Mid afternoon

Status: Open to all!

Something that Jolene was still trying to work on was growing a back bone when it came to rude people. Most shifts at The Diner went fine, it was a job she didn’t totally mind. Good company, good food, and decent tips. Today though? Her patience was being tested and turning the other cheek wasn’t an option for her. A customer had gotten upset with her (over something that was totally out of her control, of course) and had erupted in anger. It felt the poor waitress in tears, having no choice but to flee to the restaurant’s outside smoking spot to calm down. 

Sighing heavily, she locks eyes with a familar face. Fuck, she hated people seeing her cry. it made her feel so pathetic. “Hey, do you have a smoke? A good joke? Anything?” she mutters out in a low voice.

DING ! goes the bell to the front door of 'GROOVES' , alerting the store that someone is entering — entering, and probably going 'what the hell?' at the fact that there's nobody there to attend them since the cashier is sitting on the floor, all huddled up next to the JUKEBOX. she's got a backstage pass around her neck from the previous night, DARK circles, and a glitter-covered face from her smeared makeup. she thought nobody would come in, not this early, and that she'd have time to compose herself before the first customer. she was wrong. she groans, holds her hands up in 'surrender', and then talks: “ okay, okay, you caught me — ” she stated, trying to keep her voice at a playful state, since she knew she'd messed up. “ y' gonna let me walk to the back of the desk, introduce myself, and pretend it didn't happen… or tattle to the manager about me? ball's on your court! ”

"come on, i promise it'll be awesome. even if you don't end up liking the band, the drinks will be flowing and the crowds will be rocking. we're called velvet groove, and we take the stage at eight." zehra was giving her best and most charming smile as they held forward the hand-drawn flyers they'd made to promote their band's upcoming gig. "think you'll be able to make it?"

Always one to try to get ahead where possible, Nakoma had head outside as soon as there was a whisper of snow to go sprinkle some salt along her drive and the pavement in front. She was close to done when the flurries started. " Couldn't have held off a few more minutes, could you ? " she huffed at the sky, before noticing the person nearby. " It's like the weather has something against me, " she said with a small laugh.
