Content Warnings: Faces being rocked off

All right. Here it is. Their big debut, the two of them, right on stage at Anna's bar. She opens the show the way she normally does—with a rousing chorus of "Fuck the Shit" by Sons of Butcher that she hopes she never stops thinking is funny. And when the crowd dies down, she grabs the microphone and plants her feet firmly with her bass swinging around her neck.

"What's up, Trench? How we feeling tonight?" She drinks in the reaction the same way she always does, and right now, she does feel a little bit like a rockstar. Even if it's the same as every night so far, she knows that something incredibly important is coming.

"So you guys might not know it, but you're about to see something pretty fucking cool. See, it gets lonely up here on stage sometimes. I know, I know—but don't feel too bad for me, 'cause tonight I'm gonna have someone else here helping me out. You're gonna hear her play guitar, you're gonna hear her sing, and so help me if you guys don't clap I'm gonna get Steve to throw you all out."

She flashes a thumbs up towards the bartender on staff tonight and grins in his direction; he gives it back.

"See, he's on board. Okay, everyone, please give it up for local guest musician and the absolute love of my fucking life, Kainé!"

Kainé shuffles onto the stage with a guitar slung around her neck. The only thing giving her stage presence is her revealing outfit, practically just a miniskirt and a bustier, with stiletto heeled boots, but she's nearly expressionless as she approaches the mic, her eyes quickly darting away from the audience to look meaningfully at Anna.

She clears her throat her once, and growls, "Anybody who doesn’t cheer at her music, I'll fucking kill you." Yeah, that works. She'll let Anna handle the rest.

"She'll do it, gang," Anna says seriously with her head bowed low. "So here's what we've been working on together."

The setlist they play together has a bunch of songs that people who are regulars to Anna's shows haven't heard before. Nothing too complex, but things that lend themselves to an additional live guitar, to the angelic arias and guttural growls that Kainé is capable of producing—and a lot of the time during the show, Anna finds herself getting distracted. She's staring at her girlfriend and she knows it, not because of how hot she is but because of how proud Anna is of her.

The two of them get through the set, say their thank-yous, and then it's time to meet the adoring fans. Or the people who wandered in not expecting to see a miniature Lilith Fair's worth of lesbians on stage. Either way.

[ oh, just as the beer comes . . . ! kaine seems to be leaving her center of attention, but that hardly stops makima's gaze on her at all. in fact, if she were to look back—

the red-haired woman is waving her over. ]

[ The prospect of having "fans" is downright terrifying, but it isn't as though she wants to scare off Anna's audience either. So after a moment's consideration, she comes over. ]

Like the show?

Quite so. You have chemistry.

[ and a way with voices! even though makima’s expression hardly changes from when they first met . . . ]

I didn’t know you two were a couple, either— congratulations.

That long?

[ she doesn’t know the amount of time. it’s a small thing to rip a silent joke at. ]

[personal profile] foulhussy 2023-01-03 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep.

[ She doesn't get it or care. ]

[ makima: secretly jealous. she raises her brows, keeps her smile, and holds her mug up. ]

A toast to that.

Yeah. It's pretty cool.

[ Who is she? Well, she doesn't have a drink in hand, so she can't toast. ]

Do you know her?

We've had tea together. [ don't mind if makima pours her an extra mug once the servers come along! ] And some conversations worth the shots.

Sneaking around with my girl, huh? [ That was sarcasm, at least. ] Anything I oughtta know about?

Just how she feels about herself compared to the past and today, [ she also jests, but with truth to it, ] but you probably know more about that than I do.

Yeah. She talks about stuff like that a lot. She's... always amazing. Fuck, I sound so whipped. Guess I am.
