He didn't even know why he tried booking a gig at the place. He knew how to do acoustic. It wasn't foreign to him. Hell, how else was he gonna practice inside a small apartment? But nah, that didn't matter. He wasn't allowed it for whatever reason so the next best thing was to just drink up their alcohol while he was there.
Lance sat at the bar, sipping from his glass as he looked around the place. As he did he noticed a girl. She looked familiar, but he couldn't quite make the connection.
Using that as an excuse, he stood and walked over to her. "You look familiar," he stated plainly. He didn't look too enthused to be speaking with her, but he didn't look enthused ever, anyway. Not really. Not unless he was performing.

her posture is almost childlike, bent over her table, bobbing her head slightly. violetta's scribbling in a notebook that's falling apart at the seams, taking up one half of a high two-seater table, legs swinging sightly. her pencil pauses above the page, and her eyes flicker up to the man for a moment, before she looks back down, finishes her thought, and then meets his eyes proper. she squints a little, trying to decide if he's familiar. no. he's not. he smells boozy, but violetta isn't intimidated. she kills roaches with her bare hands. "sorry," she says flatly, with a smile. "you don't"shutting her notebook as if to trap the secrets before they leap into his sight, she tucks her hair behind her ear. "violetta." LANCE DAVIDSON |

"No, I know I'm not familiar," he replies as he raises his eyebrows. He's not trying to be impressive or make himself seem awesome. He's feeling neither of those things at the moment.
Her name rings in his head. Even more familiar than before, but he still can't figure it out. Damn his memory. Always failing him unless it's absolutely important. He doesn't find too many things important apparently.
"Lance," he goes on to say as he takes a seat at her table. The chair creaks as he gets comfortable, hooking the heel of a boot against the foot bar towards the bottom. The other foot rests on the floor as he taps it lightly. "What's in the notebook?"

she didn't mean it that way, but he was understandably defensive. she's a little distracted, but violetta knows better than to apologize - it gives people the wrong impression of a meek girl. he sits down anyways, uninvited, so she doesn't think he's too put off. she nods, and his name is not any more familiar. "songs." it's strange, probably, that she's sitting alone and scribbling at a place like this - but music, violetta knows, is what is most important about her. and she can take a moment apart from convention and conversation for its sake, to take down inspiration in its prime. she's signed again, working on music again, liberated.

Lance isn't offended or put off. He also doesn't expect an apology, mainly because she hasn't done anything that warrants one.
He takes a sip of his drink, washing warm over his tongue as he swallows it down.
Music? "You perform? He asks her with honest curiosity. And if she replies with a yes, he follows up his question with "What genre?" If she doesn't, he merely nods and shifts a little in his seat, letting his fingers lightly graze along the edges of his glass.

she looks at his strong drink, and as if reminded reaches for her own - vodka and cranberry juice. the ice is nearly all melted, the napkin beneath is soaked, and it's untouched. "i do," violetta takes a sip. "indie, electronic, nu-jazz." she recites. he doesn't seem like the kind to listen to her music, but she could be surprised - she doesn't look like she makes it.

Vodka and cranberry juice. Lance knows how to appreciate a simple drink. He'd probably drink it himself if he wanted a drink that tasted more refreshing.
As for what types of music he likes, he's not too big into electronic plainly, but mixed with other things he can enjoy those. And he does! He especially likes jazz, but "I've never really heard nu-jazz before," he informs after he places his drink down on the table.

"oh, it's pretty varied stuff." most genres are, violetta supposes it's hard to describe a sound, and far easier to just hear it. "i guess i just like to put a modern spin on my old favourites." she had started out that way, singing covers, adding a sprinkle of synth, a mechanical beat. "do you like classic jazz?"LANCE DAVIDSON |

He nods as she speaks and when asked the question, he nods some more. "I do," he replies honestly as he glances over at her and takes another sip of his drink.
It probably doesn't seem like he enjoys the sounds jazz has to offer, but with enjoying modern music comes the responsibility for knowing its roots. Even classical has a role to play, to which he informs her that he likes classical music itself as well.

everyone learns the classics first, of course. violetta remembers marked up sheet music, breezy waltzes, endless etudes, rolling nocturnes. "me too, but jazz more is fun.""so what do you do?" LANCE DAVIDSON |
