When: Friday Night, 12/2
"She puffs her lips on cigarettes and paces in the lobby
Silhouettes of pure white skin
A super in post-party
She is the string that holds your fate
The one that gets it started
So if you’ve got the balls to fight then put your mouth around it
Oooh I know you're out of it
Oooh I know you want it
She fucks like a star
All way to the top
Mess with your head
Make you want it
Fucks like a star
So rated R
You'll do anything
'Cause she fucks like a star, fucks like a star."
Catherine continued to sing into the microphone, hoping that she was doing a good job and silently praying that she wasn't making a complete fool of herself.
Meanwhile, Ben just stood there in the mixing booth, listening, and wondering when the HELL the normally tone-deaf Slayer suddenly learned to sound this good. Was it wrong that while the idea had crossed his mind that something could be WRONG with her, he didn't particularly care as long as it made her sound like this?
Strangely, it actually didn't occur to her that something may be up with her. She honestly just that that she may have finally figured out how to sing after being around musical people so much. It wasn't like she was pulling an opera voice out of her ass, right?
When she finished the song, she cast a glance in Ben's direction, giving him a questioning look. "Good?" she asked.
"Yeah, very good." Ben smirked, shaking his head a little. "Still dunno where it came from. Or this sudden... attitude change. You're like a new person lately." And of course, because it's BEN... "I kinda like it."
"Really?" she asked, coming out of the sound booth and into the room where he was in. "What about me is different, other than the sudden ability to sing?"
"Well... I saw you at Avarice dancing and flirting with pretty much EVERYONE, and you're usually straighter than an arrow..." He offered, trying not to laugh now...
"And you find that interesting?" she asked playfully. "I didn't realize it would just take me flirting with a girl or two to actually make you see me as something other than a Slayer or just Brandon's girlfriend."
"Oh, believe me. Only the fact that I have at least a FEW morals left in me keeps me from seeing you as anything other than Brandon's girlfriend. You've always been quite the looker." Ben could feel that SOMETHING was going on... he just couldn't place WHAT.
"Then it's good you have a few morals," Catherine said to him with a smile. "I really do love your cousin." Now, would she possibly suggest bringing a girl home, which she'd have never done before? Totally, but her personality hadn't changed to such a DRASTIC point that she'd just flat out cheat on him.
"Well, good. And it's BECAUSE of that that you're one of possibly only ten or less gorgeous women I know that I WOULDN'T touch." And that? For Ben? Was actually sweet.
"That's actually kind of sweet," Catherine said with a laugh. "So...what do you think of the song we just did?" she asked him. She was actually really feeling the music that she was coming up with.
"I liked it a lot. We can find you a backup band pretty easily... there's a lot of decent bands that play at Avarice that are dying to have a good singer..." Aaaaaand he was also hoping Brandon wouldn't murder him for purposely overlooking the fact that something was obviously wrong.
She smiled brightly at him, showing that, whatever was wrong, she was still in there, at least. "Great! I'm not exactly sure where this came from, but now I'm really feeling it. I'd like to actually do something with this talent."
"Well... trust me. We're gonna do something with it." He smiled, knowing the answer to that was "such as, make me even MORE money".
