Alison took a sip of her drink, nodding her thanks to Pink. "Thanks." The young woman said, downing the rest of her drink with a soft sigh.

Rylind stopped as she slid in the back of Lusus Naturae, letting the heavy door close slowly behind her. She looked around the crowded room as she grabbed a can of coke from behind the counter, then sat in the last seat at the bar. Looking around, Ry recognized most faces but also noticed several unfamiliar ones. With the nature of the bar, clientele changed daily, and Ry was never surprised to see people she didn't know. Catching Pink's eye when the older women turned for a second, Rylind raised the can of pop, smiling gently. She knew the bartender well enough that she wasn't worried about the annoyed looks or rolled eyes that would follow her grabbing the pop on her own. Her position as lead singer of Nature Laughs Last provided her with a steady gig and acquantices she wouldn't have had otherwise, but it also allowed her plenty of time to sit at the bar and observe the people that came in and out. Pink had become familiar with most of Ry's habits over the last year, and the younger girl's appearances outside of her band performances actually allowed the two to form a passable realtionship.

Pink watched with a jaded eye and a suppressed smile as Rylind swiped the Coke. The kind of music played by Nature Laughs Last was not her style, but Rylind was a nice kid.
Stuffing her dishtowel into her apron pocket, Pink sidled down the bar toward her.
"'S purdy full up," Pink drawled, speaking clearly enough to be heard over the background music and chatter, as with a jerk of her head she indicated the crowded state of the bar. "Y'all got a gig tanight?"

When Alison heard the word 'gig', her ears perked up, but then she realized she wasn't being spoken to, and went back to mock pouting. That's why she was having such a bad month. She hadn't been hired to sing anywhere, for ages.

"Not tonight. Tomorrow though," Rylind smiled gently at Pink, slightly distracted by the slender woman sitting close to her. The woman had glanced up shortly at hearing Pink's question, and Rylind's interest was peaked, especially since she didn't look like a regular. "You new here?" Ry asked, leaning over the stools between the two of them, her head tilted in soft inquisition.

"Quite." Alison replied, smiling gently at the woman who spoke to her. "Just taking in the sights." This wasn't the entire truth, however, she wouldn't let Rylind know what was bothering her. Not yet, anyway.
"I'm Alison, and you are?"

"Rylind," she answered, holding out a slender hand to shake with the other woman. "So what brings you to Lusus Naturae?" Rylind asked, nodding towards the packed room. "Maybe not the finest New York has to offer, but it's homely, especially if one is a mutant."

"I'm not sure. I was just in the area." Another lie, but who cares. She offered a hand, shaking Rylind's with a smile. "I'm a singer, too." She said, out of the blue.

"Ah." Rylind played the answer off, knowing that Lusus Naturae was a hard place to find just simply 'being in the area' but knew that if the woman didn't want to tell her, then it was none of Ry's business. She perked up at the woman's other comment. "Really?" she asked, smiling again at Alison. "Are you with a group or anything?"

"Purely solo." Alison replied, smiling. The truth of the matter was, Alison could never find anyone who she believed was up to her par, to form a group with. Mind you, she also hadn't auditioned anyone.
"And you?"

"Used to just sing anywhere someone would let me," Rylind said, giving a nonchalant shrug. "Actually, though, I sing with Nature Laughs Last now. We're the house band I guess you would say."

Alison nodded, smiling gently. "Need another singer, perhaps?" She asked, hoping.

Rylind smiled at Alison, quickly looking her over once more before replying. "We could be, I suppose, if anyone felt so inclined as to be. We're playing tomorrow night. Come early, meet the other guys, maybe show 'em a thing or two." She giggled lighty then took a swig of her pop. "Given that they're a bunch of younger guys, and you're a pretty lady, you show any talent, and it's not too likely that anyone's going to object to you joining in." She looked off into the crowd before turning her attention back to the other girl. "You can handle grunge then, right?"

Grunge? She'd never done grunge before, but hell, why not. "Sure, I can try." She replied, offering Rylind a smile. "I'll be here."

Rylind returned Alison smile and nodded at nothing in particular. "Cool," she said, returning the vast majority of her attention to the crowd behind them. She took another drink from her pop, then set the empty can on the bar, playing with the tab.

Alison closed her eyes, sighing lightly as she looked around. "I should go." She mumbled, barely audible.
