[ This is truly a tragedy if Rapture ever did see one. Who thinks army tours before musical tours? But, Kaoru's role is that of someone from the 1860s... ]

My bandmate. We're musicians, we go on concert tours and play in different countries.

[souredsweet]

[and Kaoru's expression just kind of lights up in a look of surprise. HOW COOL...]

Is that... common, where you come from? Traveling musicians are not unusual, but this sounds to be better organized. How far from California have you traveled?

[throe]

It's been common for awhile. Sometimes people tour the states only or they'll tour the entire globe. The Stingers started touring in Europe first. We started out in Germany and went all over when we finally gained our deserved attention.

Then we got a gig in the Los Angeles and now have our own recording company.

[souredsweet]

So making music is your profession, then? [which is about the only thing gleaned from that. Kaoru can only assume that getting a gig is a good thing.]

I am glad that it becomes a more profitable job in the future. I have always found it quite a shame that it is not so where I come from. Musicians seem to me an under=appreciated group...

[throe]

The one thing my card got right is that I'm a guitar player. Bass, to be exact. I do back up vocals too.

You'd be surprised, the music scene is huge! I've never seen anything like it. It's nothing like the underground coventry... which are unknown for different reasons, but the music business is probably one of the biggest businesses now.

[souredsweet]

The underground coventry? [question marks flying all over the place here, but Kaoru is definitely intrigued.]

My, it certainly has come a long way, if that is truly the case. ...Ah, and if I may say, your singing earlier was very good if a little misplaced. [considering they were in a trial and all...]

[throe]

Gathering of witches. [ She says it so casually. ]

I don't think it was misplaced at all. I was asking if they were alright, it's not my fault if people got the wrong message.

[souredsweet]

[oh... WELL THEN.]

What varied interests. [said politely! and then quickly moving on because witchcraft and the 1860s] Oh! I had not realized that was... the intent. In that case, it was kind of you and a lovely display of your talent.

[throe]

Please don't take offense, baby. You're not makin' sense. [ She sings the line from the song as if to say 'It's right in the lyrics', but not toward Kaoru. More toward everyone else's reaction (or lack thereof) to her performance. ]

Anyway, I'm a performer. A few bad apples aren't going to stop me from doing what I do best. If that offended me, then I never would have made it as a musician.

[souredsweet]

I suppose that art and criticism do go hand in hand... One would think it a difficult thing to make into a life-long focus. It would seem that Miss Rapture is quite talented even outside of singing, if that is the case. [a small smile!]

It would be nice to see further performances in the future.

[throe]

Oh, don't worry. The Stingers will always be on top, so there's always bound to be a performance. How else will I stay in the popularity ranks?

[souredsweet]

Your personality seems to stand out enough on its own, Miss Rapture. I do not think that you will have to concern yourself with the rankings one way or another.
