A stern look of her own, she was... not easily amused. Yet she also respects this man, he kept rock alive so she cant be too mean... probably.
"Yeah well choom i got digging to do, a lot of info here i can use for what I need, you got an issue?"
Her new yorker accent slipping.
Looking up from his thoughts, Johnny glanced back to @FlySongBirds and scoffed.
“Been having fucked up dreams, even tried not going to bed high. Something told me it’d be you who showed.”
He turned back to the shoddy table, putting out the cigarette. “You diggin in there, huh?”
"Hmm. Well, what's on the menu tonight? And what drinks do i got for choice?"
A small head tilt, curiosity towards him. If he remembers her favorite she will definitely be impressed
(+) you want me here today? Its not like you, hell even anyone to call me over. Normally its a business thing"
Her NUSA mind in full effect right now.
"Unless its simply just a day to relax"
"Cheers choom, i thought I'd at least want to look like I'm trying to match the whole... aesthetic. Either way im here now as ya asked"
Chuckling and leaning back, taking a look at pickles. No words said but definitely taken into account, she simply sits back
"So... why did (+)
@86FOODSTUFFS
7pm. Quiet in embers, not many customers but enough to warrant the cooks working hard. Yet a vehicle pulls up, a quadra. Bright yellow with hints of pink and gold, parking up now a woman steps out. Songbird, shes looking around to make sure no eyes are on her
She understood, but as the call ended she would finish up her data gathering and would begin to make her way down. She was... very far away and with traffic being as bad as it was? Shed get there on time
So off she got into her Quadra Turbo R and she began the drive.
"Wow... the rest of them are incompetent aren't they?"
Yes, that also tells him shes watching through the cameras. She isn't even trying to hide it.
"Youd think we'd have fire suppression systems by now"
⠀
⠀⠀⠀the CCTV footage shows pickles extinguishing a fire in the kitchen ; the stovetop catches fire , and he smothers it by generously sprinkling coarse salt on it . he seems upset to be the only one to be able to put it out .
⠀
"Hmm... count me interested!"
As she hears the commotion curiosity catches her. So using the call she hacks into the cameras to check out what's going on
"Absolutely!"
⠀
⠀⠀⠀〝 i actually saved one in advance. it's near the window; get a really nice view of heywood. 〞
there's clattering and arguing in the background , amongst the embers kitchen. never a dull moment.
〝 can i put you down for tonight ? 〞
⠀
⠀
⠀⠀⠀( pickles weary face perks up over the holo . he regains his smile . )
a jazz band . they'll be playing in the dining room , providing... ambiance . there's not too many covers tonight , so I'll be sure to come out , say hello , and bring you some
⠀
Hearing him say that he was her friend made her pause, she was going to say something but she paused.
After he finished she spoke quickly
"What live music is it?"
⠀
⠀⠀⠀〝 i'm saying *YOU'RE my friend , so mi . and as your friend , it would mean a lot to me if you showed up . it's not an emergency, but . . . 〞
silence . he's not gonna convince her .
〝 listen , i'm sorry for bothering you . 〞he sounds dejected.
⠀
"Choom... family and friends is not a privilege i have anymore"
A blank expression from her for a minute, clearly a nerve has been hit.
"Either way, you can see me now over this call. Or is it urgent?"
⠀
⠀⠀⠀because ! i just want to see you , is that so weird ? i work all the time . you work all the time.
but you can help it . so get your butt over here , and i'll feed you , i'll give you a friends and family discount , it'll be a wonderful night .
⠀
She was trying to scan her, yet nothing was working.
"Just scanning ya choom, you're one of David's crew yeah? The edgerunners?"
She wasn't being hostile, just checking stuff out!
Rebecca looked back at the other , curiousity began to permeate via expression.
"You need somethin?" She asked , a feeling of unease creeping up on her.
Without saying much Rebecca had already speculated being scanned
