“ oh , at least buy me a drink first , ” there it is , a little giggle . she laughs softly at her own joke , before picking at nachos and sloppily fitting it into her mouth . she crunches , licks the neon orange cheese off her fingers , and swallows quickly . “ i mean , i’m not a huge valentine person , it’s just another capitalist way to exploit the masses and rake in money , but ... ” roxie totally is a valentine person but is way too cool to admit it . it’s gross , so she thinks , but something about the cheesiness and novelty of it all appeals to her . oh , and the colors . she shrugs . “ you have to get me chocolates and roses and a stupid teddy bear and take me to dinner and everything . let’s go big or go home . ”

“ listen , kid , you can just tell me things like a normal person , i won’t bite , ”       roxie’s tone stays flat , hot pink nails being chewed on very delicately between pearly white teeth . roxie lets out a soft chuckle , a sly smirk appearing on her tired face .     “ and here’s the thing , yeah ? i barely understood a word you just told me . you talk so low . what am i possibly going to do to you ? what are you scared of ? that i’ll break your legs ? beat you with a crowbar ? ” very possibly , yes , actually . “ you’re like ‘ i’m just saying ’ this , that , but you’re barely saying anything at all . so we’ll speak at normal volumes like normal people and maybe we can get along in this dumb fucking project , yeah ? i already failed this class once , and i don’t want to do it again . ”

“ yeah , that makes sense . unfortunately , my hometown doesn’t really have a lot of good bands . the punk scene was alright , we had Useless Pieces of Shit before i moved , ” roxie tears open a bag of chips , popping one in her mouth and crunching . she continues to talk with a full mouth .       “ good big bands barely come through here either , but when they do , they usually come through the store and hang with fans or whatever . it’s pretty cool . i’ve met a lot of cool people since i started here . it might be grimey and on the low - end , but it sure has it’s perks . ”
