"I guess that would be nice, but where is it, mate?" Violet asked.

'Uh...'

Ari dropped the phone and jogged to the balcony, looking around the surrounding street. Trying to see if there was a sign or something -- only then did he realize that he remembered the name of the hotel, so there was actually no need for that. Ari sighs and walks back to the phone, picking it back up and exhaling --

'St. Regis, um, New York... I think it's on 55th Street, a-and.. Fourth or Fifth Avenue, I think...'

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit. Love you." Violet hung up the phone and got ready, putting on her usual get-up: the shredded sleeveless crop top of a skull, a leather jacket, a black thigh-high skirt, fishnet stockings and a pair of Doc Martens, and then she headed out in search of Ari's hotel.

It took Violet a half hour to walk from her shack to Ari's hotel. The day was cool, there was a breeze, and it was overcast. It could easily be mid-October, if it weren't the middle of July.

She probably got recognized and perhaps catcalled by several men. Some people would probably complement her playing at last night's concert. Typical, likely.

About a block away, she can already tell that she's at the hotel because there's easily hundreds of people gathering around the hotel talking about Ari and the concert that happened last night and various other things. There was a baracade and some police surrounding it to make sure there weren't any trespassers into the hotel or anything. Ari's hotel looked like a typical 1920s-styled apartment building, blending in with the surrounding architecture. If Violet looked up, she could see a figure, ostensibly Ari, leaning on a balcony.

Violet entered the hotel and asked the bored receptionist for Ari's room. The receptionist handed her a key card without question but just a quirked eyebrow. Violet went up the elevator and then, she reached Ari's room, and she knocked on the door.

Violet could hear Ari yell from the inside of the room. As she stood she heard several crashing noises coming from the room, followed by silence, followed by more crashing, following by a string of several slurs in English and Spanish, before the door is opened, revealing Ari in the doorway.

The bathroom is to the right and the shower curtain has fallen. The cause of the noise, possibly.

'Hi! -- Um... if you were wondering about the noise I just slipped and fell in the bathroom, um... that seems to happen a lot...' Ari scratched his hair, internally cringing at the several times that he had fell on stage before.

"Oh, that's fine, mate, happens to the best of us. For me, I only fall when I'm drunk!" Violet chuckled as she went through the door, she sat on the couch and stretched languidly.

'Right...'

Ari shut the door and sat next to her. 'Well I'm clumsy as hell, uh. I think I've broken like... fucking -- ten thousand dollars worth of equipment and shit just from fucking... dropping, or tripping, or slipping... they had to send out a whole notice to not let me carry things by myself because I kept breaking things. I accidently dropped like two whole guitars -- I don't even play guitars much and my dumbass still dropped them -- and a couple of keyboards, a tenor saxophone... fuck, I think that's the ADHD part of me.'

Ari sighed. 'But I guess I get even more clumbsy when I'm drunk, but still. "Who isn't", I guess.'

Violet shrugged her shoulders with an amused chuckle. She tapped her foot to no particular rhythm. "So... you wanna do anything?"

Ari thought for a while.

Ari then begins to ramble for a minute. 'Uh, maybe? Wherever we go we're probably going to get fucking swarmed by the paparazzi and fans and the like. Also, I have no idea what's in New York at all, uh... what is there to do that's not, like, cliche or whatever? Actually wait that's a lie, I went to New York with my dad in... 1971 to see a Louis Armstrong performance, so I was like, four. I barely remember any of it... um, maybe we went here at some point, um...'

'..Oh, sorry. Anyways. You tell me!...' Ari nervously chuckled.

"Well, I guess we could... kiss? Again?" Violet looked at Ari expectantly.

'Um...'

'That's what you meant..?' Ari blushed lightly and looked away. 'Uh, maybe... I-- but we just met, and I-- I don't know what to feel or even--even how I feel and...'

Ari's voice trailed off and he sighed. A lot of feelings going on right now. He feels twelve again.

Violet just puts her hand in his and rests her head on his shoulder. "That's fine."

'Mmm...' Ari stirs mildly uncomfortably as Violet rested her head on him. He still felt a little.. uneasy about physical contact. He exhaled and continued to think.

'I really should be resting and recooperating... maybe even recording if I had all of the proper equipment and stuff. Um... no really, what is there to do here?... fuck, it's like the city, how the hell can't I think of anything to do here, fuck my life...'

"Actually, can I spend the night? My bed in my shack is broken and my mates there are acting like toddlers again over the shower." Violet said unamusedly.

'Um...'

Ari looks at the prescence of a single bed in the hotel room.

'Sure? I don't mind... and while I think of it maybe we shouldn't leave ... atleast out of the front, um, together? I dunno...' Ari shrugged. 'I couldn't imagine living... um...' Ari pauses to think about the wording -- '..with people who act like toddlers..' How whimsical Ari phrases things.

"Yeah, especially everyday with no rent and no electricity." Violet rolled her eyes and chuckled.

'...No rent and electricity? You... oh right the shack...' Ari nodded to himself.

'I'm hungry. Let's get breakfast. So much for not leaving...'

"Eh, can I stay? I'm not really hungry right now." Violet did let go of Ari slowly.

'Uh. Sure. Then, um... I'll be back whenever!'

Ari stood and literally just left without a word. How anticlimactic. Ari leaves the hotel door open, that forgetful guy!... in addition to the balcony doors and the bathroom door. And the bathroom lights.

A couple of minutes later, Violet can hear screaming coming from below. Ostensibly him stepping foot outside.
