Getting a New Bandmate
Who: Chloe and Jack
Where: Jolt! Coffee Shop
When: Monday Afternoon
Chloe Van Warren was worried. Luckily, when she was worried, she handled it the same way she handled every other mood: she ingested lots of sugary sweets. She'd gotten a call from Jack Delaney earlier in the day, asking if they could meet and talk about something... all Chloe could think was that something had happened to Meredith. So, in order to be around as much sugar as humanly possibly, she told him to meet her at Jolt! when she got out of school. So there she sat, at one of the outdoor tables, decked out in a short red Gucci skirt, black Manolo heels, and a black Prada blouse. her long blonde hair slightly curled and tied behind her in a loose pony. She was already on her second latte, and her feet were tapping a mile a minute.
Luckily for Mere and all the sugar in the western hemisphere, the little vampire was doing just fine. Jack actually had something on his mind that had very little to do with his daughter. He walked into Jolt! and, after giving Chloe a quick look down (and who couldn't, when she dressed like that?), he sat down at the table with her. "Got a date after this?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Oh! No, I just love to dress up. I consider it my responsibility to show the other students what good fashion sense is." The way she said it, it was hard to tell if she was being playful or vapidly sincere. Her brow furrowed cutely. "Is everything ok? Is Mere alright?"
"Well, you're certainly showing them just how it's done," Jack said with a grin. "Nah, Mere's doing alright. Hanging on Ben's arm a lot these days, it seems." Kind of fitting, though, to be honest. "I'm here about something else."
She pulled a lollipop from her purse, that sweet, infectious smile popping back onto her face, and then pulled out a second one, holding it out to him. "Then talk away!"
He took the sucker, but didn't open it quite yet. "Well, as I'm sure you've heard, Daylight Dies kind of had a implosion recently. Band members leaving and stuff. Well, one thing we're looking for is a drummer." He waited to see if she filled in the blanks for herself.
She sort-of caught on. "Oh! Did you need me to fill in for a few shows or something? I'd be completely honored!"
"I wasn't thinking just a short time replacement, Chloe," Jack told her. "If you're up for it, Pat and I were both thinking of making it a little more in the long term."
"Y-You want me to join your band?" She blinked at him, and her next words came out before she could really control herself. "And this isn't just some line to try to get me in bed?"
He cracked up, couldn't help it really. "Now, would I really have to use a line like that to bed a woman?" he asked with an arched eyebrow. "I'm for real here, Chloe. You're one of the best drummers in LA, age be damned."
"Ohmygod." She just blinked a few times, before grinning again, literally pouncing out of her seat and hugging him. "I gotta talk to the girls first, make sure they don't mind me being in two bands, but as long as they don't mind I'd be totally honored and completely excited and oh my god I don't know what to say but this is such an awesome thing for you to do for me and..." blah blah blah, the girl could ramble like a champ.
A little surprised, he hugged her back. "I'm sure that they won't mind too much. It's not like we don't tour together a lot or anything." The girls did open up for them a lot, so it wasn't like the schedules would conflict too badly.
"So I'm like... totallyseriouslyforreal a member of the band now?" Not that she didn't love being in Suicide Messiah, they'd always be her heart and soul... but this was a chance to be in a signed, money-making, video-having band!
"Yeah, you're totally seriously for real a member of the band," Jack told her. "That means practices and music videos and everything. Sure you're up for it?"
"I'm TOTALLY sure." She had that ear-to-ear grin in full effect, and was as fidgety and hyper as ever. "Does Meredith know you were gonna ask me?"
"Yeah, I already ran it by her," Jack told her. "She knew that you'd be thrilled. I'm sure the rest of the girls will be just as happy for you."
"So is this gonna be a brand-new band? Like, is this Daylight Dies 2.0 or a brand new thing?" She thought about it and then grinned again. "And who else is in the band?"
"Well, there's Pat, me, and you, and hopefully one more person that I haven't approached yet," Jack said, not wanting to mention Dakota's name until he was sure. Not that he had any serious doubt that she wouldn't say anything but hell yeah and what took him so long to ask. "I'm not sure if it's going to be V2 or what yet. Probably figure that out along the way."
"This is gonna be kick-ass..." Chloe beamed, crossing her arms confidently. "Better make room for some killer drums in your songs, dude."
"I'm glad to hear that. We've been needing some good drumming in our songs." Their last drummer was...OK, but nothing spectacular. Hopefully, that will now change.
"Ok. I am totally going out, right now, and bragging to EVERY SINGLE PERSON I KNOW." She grinned, giving him a big, comical smooch on the lips before running off like The Flash. On Red Bull.
Jack blinked as she kissed him and ran off like The Flash himself. "Damn, hope that girl is only on sugar," he muttered to himself with a grin. He'd fear the day if she got into anything worse.
