FANDOM EXPOSITION, The Park, All Day Saturday (8:00 - 23:00)

Aug 06, 2016 11:04

Where had the staff come from? Nobody knew. But sometime at six in the morning, a group of people arrived in the park and immediately spread out over the premises, constructing a bunch of nondescript stands at a rapid pace. They set out cheap soft drinks on the picnic tables, put up some large banners, cleaned the place up and scared off a few ( Read more... )

Anyone who watched the tall, rigidly postured alien standing at her stall while only her eyes followed the crowd might observe that she seemed, well, not wary of the number of people present, exactly, but certainly unused to such being around so much company.

Of course, anyone who watched her would also find her eventually watching them right back.

On her table was a selection of old music (old to her time, anyway). James Tee had introduced her to a library full of it, and Jaylah had greedily but reverently combed through and selected her favorites. In the end, she had created mixes, using songs that went well together to set a particular mood. Most of the time, that mood was 'righteous anger.' There was an especially large concentration of rap songs in the mixes.

She had stored some of the mixes on the old-fashioned discs Montgomery Scotty had called 'records,' and others on old fashioned 'flash drives.' The track lists, she had written herself in painstaking English Federation Standard, and though there were a handful of ( ... )

At some point during the day, Hondo decided it might be profitable neighbourly to see what his fellow stall holders were selling (and if they were paying close enough attention to notice if their stock went walkabout). "Hello, my dear, I must ask, have we met before?"

Sorry, Jaylah.

Re: Beats by Jaylah itsa_sabotage August 6 2016, 13:00:29 UTC

Jaylah eyed him closely.

The total number of faces she had seen over the course of her life was few enough that she could remember most of them.

"No," she said flatly. "I do not think so. Who are you?"

Re: Beats by Jaylah hondo_yes August 6 2016, 13:05:25 UTC

Someone who was not Hondo might have been discouraged by that tone.

"Who am I? Why, I am Hondo Ohnaka, infamous leader of the reowned and feared Ohnaka Gang." Now much reduced, no thanks to the Empire. "That is who I am."

Re: Beats by Jaylah itsa_sabotage August 6 2016, 13:15:20 UTC

"Hello, Hondo Ohnaka," Jaylah said, evidently not impressed. "I am Jaylah."

Infamous leader of nothing and no one.

"Would you care to review my music?"

Re: Beats by Jaylah hondo_yes August 6 2016, 13:20:14 UTC

That's what the on Imperial wit near the top of Hondo's revenge list had said too. But onto more pleasant pursuits. "Oh, my dear, I'm all ears."

Hondo, no.

Re: Beats by Jaylah itsa_sabotage August 6 2016, 13:35:18 UTC

Jaylah tilted her head to the side. "A being made of only ears would surely find it difficult to communicate as you have done," she pointed out. "I will assume this is another..." What was that phrase again? "Figure of speech."

Re: Beats by Jaylah hondo_yes August 6 2016, 13:54:18 UTC

"Yes, I do appreciate a woman who knows her figures of speech."

Oh, this was going to be a challenge.

Re: Beats by Jaylah itsa_sabotage August 6 2016, 14:07:41 UTC

It was not going well so far, no.

Jaylah arched an eyebrow and gave Hondo a very stern, almost menacing look.

Re: Beats by Jaylah hondo_yes August 6 2016, 14:11:27 UTC

Hondo did not necessarily consider a desire to murder him a deal-breaker.

Hondo had terrible taste in women.

Re: Beats by Jaylah itsa_sabotage August 6 2016, 14:25:12 UTC

Probably.

"Are you going to buy my music, Hondo Ohnaka?" Jaylah asked, not letting up on that hard stare.

Re: Beats by Jaylah hondo_yes August 6 2016, 14:39:54 UTC

"How could I say not to such a charming woman?"

Re: Beats by Jaylah itsa_sabotage August 6 2016, 16:42:44 UTC

Jaylah made a disgusted noise.

She tapped one of the mixes. "This one is loud and angry. I find it enjoyable."

Re: Beats by Jaylah hondo_yes August 7 2016, 01:14:11 UTC

"Then I shall trust in your good taste, which hopefully extends to other areas."

Well, she wasn't interested in you, so it probably did, Hondo.

Re: Beats by Jaylah solarhippie August 6 2016, 13:23:57 UTC

Okay, there were two things that intrigued Karolina here. One, music, duh. Because she liked that a lot (in particular if it was something to dance to).

Two... Look, you couldn't stop the Majesdanian from being drawn to people who looked like maybe they were from somewhere else in space. Even ones that looked kind of intimidating. (And pretty, but shhhhh.)

So she was wandering over with a friendly little smile. "Hi!"
