Ryva had dumped all the change and dollar bills into the tip jar at the Mochavine before heading home to confer with her friend and bandmate [color=7bcdc8]Rixon[color] on which songs they should play at the club. Thankfully, she didn't have to leave Moose at home again-she had finally broken his habit of wandering around sniffing people's buts when she wasn't watching him. She had never laid a hand on Moose in anger when he misbehaved-she didn't believe in physically punishing her animals-her disappointed, angry tone always shamed him worse than any beating she could have given him.
When they met up at her apartment, they had a few drinks of apple cider while they discussed songs. Three hours later, it was growing dark, and they had quite a long list of songs. There was seven songs in all, three of which were duets. They texted the other members-
Jem and
Salem-then loaded their guitars into the van.
"You plan on bringing Lucca?" Ryva asked as she loaded Moose into the back of the van where he had a soft bed.
"Yeah, actually," he replied.
"He actually quite worships ye, lass." Ryva groaned as she shut the van door.
"Bloody hell," she whined, getting into the driver's side.
"I really do no' need tae be hero-worshipped. I have enough crazy fans as it is." Rixon laughed as they went and picked Lucca, Jem and Salem up all at once-they had been hanging out. Rixon passed the song list to Jem.
"Ye lads down with this?" he asked, twisting in the passenger seat.
"Yeah, man," Jem agreed.
"It's a good lineup.""I think this is the best list you two have come up with," Salem commented. Ryva laughed and before they knew it, they were pulling up in front of Club LUSH. Ryva killed the engine, took the list back from Jem, and went to get some of the stage crew to help with the equipment.
"Keep yer filthy paws off me guitar!"ten minutes later, Ryva was onstage doing a soundcheck, then motioned for the stage crew to open the curtains and she stepped up to the mic.
"Evenin' ladies an' gents," she greeted the crowd.
"We-Fourbidden City-have a special lineup for tonight. An' guess what? Me boy Rix is opening the first song."
