No, her attention was pulled away by the fact that she had indeed been the 'leftover'. It honestly stung a little that no guy had shown any interest in talking to her. 'That's alright,' She tried to mentally tell herself, though her feelings said otherwise, 'It's still early days and one of them<i>is </i>your perfect match.' Luckily, the girl who was playing the music didn't leave Ember to sulk by herself for too long.<br/><br/>Ember smiled at the rockstar with the guitar, or at least that's what the girl looked like, anyways. Unfortunately, when the girl started playing the first song, Ember didn't know it. Still, this was the first person who had really tried to interact with her. Rather than just listening to the guitar play, Ember leaned over to the purple and pink-haired girl.<br/><br/>"Do you know<i>Take Me Or Leave Me</i>?" She asked a little quietly, almost a bit reserved. Still, she offered the beautiful young woman a smile. The song may have been less well-known to those outside of the acting community but Ember had played this character before. She knew the words and the story that went along with it, and hoped that somewhere among all of these people, there was someone who wouldn't let her go it alone.<br/><br/>"Every single day/I walk down the street/I hear people say/Baby, so sweet..." The dark-haired woman began quietly, her eyes closed as the song began. She had been in front of the camera so many times but she had to admit that singing this song with no clue if she was going to find a partner in front of a camera and a group of guys, one of which was supposed to be her perfect match was one of the most nerve-wracking things she had done in a long time.<br/><br/><br/>"Ever since puberty/Everybody stares at me/Boys, girls, I can't help it/Baby" Her voice, well-trained from years of studying with the best vocal coaches in New York started to get louder. She was getting more into the song rather than worrying about the cameras or the people around them. Acting was her entire life. Whether someone joined in to be her Joanne or not, she would not let fear stand in her way.<br/><br/>By the time she got to the first line of the chorus, Ember was dancing as Maureen and her voice held no reservations. "Take me for what I am/Who I was meant to be/And if you give a damn/Take me, baby, or leave me." That's when she noticed the girl in the red dress had joined the musical party of two and was getting into the music. Did she have a Joanne?<br/><br/>Ember continued in Maureen's character, climbing up on the nearest table without holding anything back. In that song, she wasn't just<i>pretending </i>to be Maureen, she<i>was </i>the character. Her words, her actions, her facial expressions, they were all exactly what one might expect if they were watching the musical.<br/><br/>"Baby, let's have fun." She sang, stripping off her leather jacket in a teasing manner to reveal the sleeveless dress and her pale arms underneath. Before the next line, she tossed the jacket over to the side, not paying too much attention where it landed. She could get it later but right now, she was too in character to care.<br/><br/>"You are the one I choose/Folks would kill to fill your shoes." When she finally had the opportunity, Maureen pointed at the girl in the red dress, hoping it would be a good invitation for her to either step into the role or not.<br/><br/>Then it was the moment of truth. Ember climbed down off the table and moved closer to the girl in the red dress. "So be mine/And don't waste my/Time." She sang teasingly as she played with the bottom of her dress. She lifted one side of the short dress up, teasing a possible "wardrobe malfunction" as her eyes stayed immediately focused on the girl she had picked out as her partner. If the girl actually knew the song and was willing to join her, Ember would know in 3...2...1...
