Still, she kept her composure and replied in her most gentle, most melodic voice.<br/><br/>“I don’t think that will be an issue, honey. I can sing. And don’t worry… I’ll sing my whole set, as agreed.”<br/><br/>As they headed to the back room, Stella took a glance at the bar room proper. It was bigger than she had anticipated – she had expected maybe half a dozen tables in a tiny room, but the bar seemed to have more than double that, and an actual little stage too. It would definitely be an intimate atmosphere, though, at least if the place would be close to full. Quickly taking that in, as well as anything special that might catch her eye, Stella didn’t stick around in the doorway for more than a couple of seconds. She didn’t really fancy hanging around the few patrons present just yet. There’d be plenty of time for that soon enough.<br/><br/>Finding her way to the small dressing room, Stella changed her shoes to a fancier, mud-free pair; found a small blow-dryer to try and get the rain off her dress; and gave her make-up a check.<br/><br/>Deep breaths. It’s just another concert.<br/><br/><em>"You gonna be alright? Null static with ya dressed so flash?"</em><br/><br/>Stella jumped a bit at Junkcat’s sudden arrival, but gave her a reassuring smile. Stella would be lying if she said she wasn’t at all scared or worried… but she was determined not to show any of that to her new friends, so she actually<em>was</em>lying.<br/><br/>“Don’t worry, love, I’m quite alright. This is what I do, after all.”<br/><br/>She took an appraising look at the mirror, decently satisfied at what she saw. She looked good… perhaps too good for a place like this. But it was all about getting attention, wasn’t it? Just needed to hide her worry and nervousness with Kinetics…<br/><br/>“I wonder if those bikers will actually even show up?” she asked, trying not to sound too hopeful.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Visual Perception test, just to give the main bar room a quick one-over: 2 hits (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=151574)<br/><br/>I just kinda assumed there would be a blow-dryer in the dressing room; if there isn't, I guess her dress will just have to be slightly damp from the rain.</div></div>
