“ okay, control yourself. i want to see if you’ve got compulsion under your belt.. --- ” she glanced over the area and searched for the perfect candidate. “ him !! waltz up to him and compel him to do something ridiculous, first. then, once i see you can handle yourself, i’ll motion you to bring him over. ” she took meera’s arms and gave a gentle but stern squeeze. “ go on. ”

WHERE: Recording studio somewhere in Europe I'm guessing?

WHEN: Afternoon

A world tour didn't mean the next track or single sat on the backburner. In between shows, press, and whatever else the label managed to pile high on their plate, it was still very much your duty to work on new content. With Abernathy Hall, Akina felt an immense pressure to not only deliver well, but deliver early. And while art couldn't exactly be rushed, it could be worked on. Which was why she had booked a room at one of the studios the label worked closely with. It was supposed to be her day-off but she figured she could come in to do some songwriting, maybe even flesh out a demo.

When she entered the room she booked, she was surprised to find someone was still there. Maybe the previous session was delayed in clearing out. Not that she minded terribly, but she did only have an hour before having to head back to her hotel and get ready for a dinner she had scheduled with a friend in town.

"Oh. Excuse me, I have the 3PM slot for this room."
