Despite the crowd packing the Kitten tonight, this was turning out to be one of the easiest nights Angelo could ever remember having. With the music festival's pinnacle guests being hosted here, Angelo and the other boys in the house band were just filler tonight. They'd fill the bandshells for twenty minutes at a time, either occupying the dancing couples in the club between proper acts or backing up the singers, but none of it was hard. Luckily for Angelo.

Ava had gone through quite the bit of trouble to find a driver she liked, specifically one that was named James. Wasn’t that always the name of one’s driver? She didn’t know, but it wouldn’t suit her if his name was anything else. So as soon as James had shown at the garage, she informed him that she had a dinner date tonight and that he would be escorting her home first, then to a friend’s home before bringing them to one of the nicer restaurants near the Drake.

He woke up groggy - always a sign that he'd gone to sleep far too tired and fallen into a deep, deep sleep. The fact that the bed was cool beside him let him know that she'd gotten up some time ago, even if she'd come to bed with him at dawn. He glanced at the window, where the evening sun showed pale through a gap in the curtains. Apparently, he'd slept all day.

It was beautiful out, though Eris really didn't notice. The black storm clouds in her own mind prevented that, even if to see her walking that didn't show in her features. All she was doing was walking alongside the water, looking out at it as the breeze lightly tossed her hair. It was a slow sort of stroll, distracted in nature. She wasn't paying attention to her surroundings nearly so much as she should have been.

When she'd left she and Brett's place, she'd been paranoid, trying to look everywhere at once, but now that had dropped away in favor of her mind being far too preoccupied with everything else. She just couldn't do both at the same time. So either she was going to be paranoid and suspecting danger at every turn or she was going to be trying to get her mind straight on things. The latter won out.

Unfortunately, it also didn't work. Between everything kicked up by the flowers appearing that morning to everything happening between she and Brett, everything felt like it was a mess. Everything felt like it was falling apart. Or was still falling apart, since technically, for a while the other night there hadn't even been a she and Brett anymore. Maybe they were just going through the death theroes, it was over and they were just going through the final spasms. She really hated that she even thought about that in any capacity.

Stopping near a bench, she stood towards the posts, with the chains that ran between them, a half-assed little barrier to keep people from wandering over the edge to drop into the river below. Looking down into the water from there, leaning on the post, she watched the water go by. The dark, ominous water. Where she was meant to have been dropped.

Reaching up, she unclasped the ruby necklace, and reclasped it on the post, so it hung there, catching the light. Then she turned to walk away from it, in the hopes of leaving it and her emotions behind with it.

Eris was awake, debating leaving for the day, to go for a walk. Really, she was still wondering what the hell was going on between she and Brett, but that wasn't something that was going to leap to the forefront of her mind, not something that had some perfect answer that she would suddenly land upon. So, she was very heavily considering going out, leaving, not coming back until late evening. Mostly she was just trying to figure out if she left a note or not.

Light shouldn't be able to shine into closed eyes. That was Brett's first thought for the day as he grumbled and rolled over in bed, away from the shaft of light that was cruelly torturing him out of sleep and biting straight into the pounding in his head. He grabbed a pillow from underneath him and pulled it over his face, but it was too late. He was awake. He really, really didn't want to be awake.

Brett had watched from the back of the bar for the whole of her act. And once Dutch had moved away, nobody else had bothered him. Apparently there was some real benefit in being seen talking to one of the regulars. He'd remember that one for the future. But, for now, he'd stood alone, always with a drink in hand, but not actually drinking a whole lot for all of that. It was simply for appearances until she took her leave and the band took over properly.

He'd given her five minutes, and then he'd made his way to the door backstage. He wasn't surprised when he got stopped, but he'd done this job in another place, he knew how this one went, and a few greens and the right words had got him through easily enough, despite the fact that the 'act' was meant to be being kept anonymous. If he ran this place, security would be rather tighter than it was.

Nobody else stopped him once he was backstage and walking like he was meant to be there, and it wasn't like it was a big place, especially not compared to the backstage area of the Kitten Club. It didn't take him long to find her dressing room and he leaned against the wall, by the side of the door, before reaching over to knock.

The throbbing in the side of Brett's head had subsided slowly over the course of the day, but the bruising remained. He wasn't a pretty sight, one eye swollen almost shut, surrounded by a vivid display of multi-coloured skin. There really was no avoiding the fact that he'd been hit, and by something hard. Unsurprising, really, since his business partner, his lover, had pistol whipped him last night in the midst of another one of their set-tos.

They'd made a final circuit around the room. That part, admittedly, was a blur for her. Just empty social niceties that she did just fine with, but she wasn't even trying to commit to memory. During that time she was just so very aware of Andrei's presence. And then, Brett had asked her just how long they had to stay, and she'd given the okay to go home.

She needed to be calmer than this. She was very, very aware of that. And she'd never been a woman who was given to bouts of nerves, but right now, that was what it felt like. Like her stomach was in knots, and she'd not eaten earlier because of it. She still didn't feel like she could eat anything. She'd tried to get as much sleep as possible, but she wasn't entirely sure she'd gotten much. It felt a lot like she was still tired, even if she didn't feel sleepy.

There was a slight trembling in her hand as she again glanced down at the piece of paper. The address was only half a block up this street, but Ronnie was walking slow, because she had no real idea in hell just what she would be walking into. Only that it was some kind of job opportunity. And even though she needed a job, that didn't make her feel any better; because the kind of job opportunities that fell into her lap weren't really the kind that helped her sleep at night. But the very real possibility of unknown Bad lay ahead almost never stopped her from continuing on. And that fact was that, for this one, the only thing she had to go on was an address written on the back a convenience store receipt, the instructions to 'look classy', and that it was 'someone we trust'. All told to her by a girl she had worked with once, at Babylon? It didn't bode well.
