Vince takes a seat on one of the couches and crosses his legs. With his designer boots, bug eyed sunglasses and his hair the way it is, he could be easily mistaken for a woman. He's used to it by now though

"I had a boyfriend like that once," Phoenix chimes in, laughing a bit. "I thought we were cool and everything, but this other girl kept on trying to come onto him, right? Bothering him and telling him stupid things about me that weren't true..." She sighs, curling up in her armchair to get more comfortable before speaking again. "Long story short? The idiot left me for her and something tells me he's been regretting that decision ever since he made it. Serves him right, though." She grins, leaning back in her seat. "What's the matter with your friend, then? Is someone telling him crap that he's stupid enough to fall for?"

[noirrockstar]

"I think so," says Vince sadly. "I mean, I don't know who it is or what they told him, but I think someone is putting thoughts in his head."

[thephoenixsings]

"Are you sure you don't know who it is? For all you know, he could be with her right now."

[noirrockstar]

"Well, no," says Vince, starting to think. "There was one woman he was trying to impress a few days ago though. I didn't get her name, but she was a red head in red. Her eyes may have been red as well, I couldn't really tell. But she didn't seem interested in Howard..."

[thephoenixsings]

"Then maybe you should start with her," Phoenix replies, smiling softly. "I could keep an eye out for her, too, if you want. I'm still pretty new here, but... I could try."

[noirrockstar]

Vince's eyes light up. "Could you? Aw, thank you so much. You're a lifesaver...um...what's your name?"

[thephoenixsings]

"Phoenix," she replies with a sheepish smile. Then she extends her hand for a polite shake. "It's my pleasure, really. You seem like a really nice guy, uh... and your name?"

[noirrockstar]

"Vince," he says as he takes her hand. "It's very nice to meet you, Phoenix."

[thephoenixsings]

"So... from what I've heard, people from all over are here. Where are you from? Or... when. Whichever. This is taking time to get used to..."

[noirrockstar]

"London, 2007. I work in a second hand boutique that's under a flat I share with my mates. What about you?"

[thephoenixsings]

"Oh wow! That far in the future? 2007 seems pretty far-out, if everyone from there has your sense of style." She grinned. "America, 1974, here. I'm trying to be a professional singer."

[noirrockstar]

Vince blushes a little. "Well, not everyone has my style." His smile grows when she mentions being a singer. "Oh right on. I'm trying to be a rockstar myself."

[thephoenixsings]

"Are you?" she asks. "I would've never guessed it. Any success so far? Or... are you just working in a shop due to lack of any?"

[noirrockstar]

"The last option," replies Vince sadly. "I mean, I've had a few bands I've been in, but we have had very bad luck."

[thephoenixsings]

"That's too bad, Vince," she replies. "We're in the same boat then."

[noirrockstar]

Vince leans back on the couch, but still looks at Phoenix. "So you have bad luck too?"
