V raised his eyebrow as she reentered, "Oh yeah, just make yourself at home." he said sarcastically as she sat down. "The look on your face when you walked in seemed to say it all." He teased, taking in a sharp breath as she offered coffee. The tall man looked a little too excited for a nice cup of coffee as he grabbed a cup. This simple gesture may have made her his hero for the day. He laughed a little. "You snooze you lose." V took a large drink of his, closing his eyes for a second and savoring the taste that unlike the coffee on the bus, did not taste like it was brewed out of garbage and broken dreams. As she spoke again he opened his eyes, and looked back at her. "We're talking about plans for the show, I'm sure you're not interested in it." V answered, not exactly wanting to tell her right out how nervous Cypher was and how it had effected his sleep.

Logan smiled at her, "That pinks a nice color for you." He commented, referring to her blushing. He shifted a bit in his seat, taking another drink of his coffee while she answered. "Oh, definitely." He had to quickly set his coffee down as he realized who she was, and everything clicked at once. He knew that band had been in town, but he hadn't been expecting to meet one of the members just out and about. Not to mention he was expecting her usual long blue hair. Logan bit his lip, nodding a bit.
"Yeah, I.. I hadn't recognized you with the short hair. I like it, it looks good on you." He hoped he wasn't suddenly sounding creepy.
His confidence had dropped a bit momentarily, but quickly recovered. She's just like every other person right?

Riley narrowed her eyes at V and his sarcastic tone, flickering them over to Cypher for a second. V seemed so intimidating to most people, but he was probably one of the friendliest on the tour right now. Everyone else seemed to be sulking and too focused on the fact they had to headline with another band instead of just being psyched to be on tour. It was a nice change to just have a lighthearted conversation- especially with the other band.

She raised her eyebrows at how quick V was to grab the coffee. "You're welcome." His excitement was all of the thanks she needed. Riley set the last coffee in front of Cypher. He looked like he needed it the most out of the three of them. "You must have drank a few last night, huh?" She asked the groggy boy. V stole her attention back. "Why would I not be interested? I am apart of it, right?" She found it kind of odd how quickly he had tried avoiding that topic. "Talk to me," Riley removed her sunglasses once more and sat them unfolded on the table. "I'm all ears, my dear." She leaned forward and placed her elbows on the table and rested her chin on her hands, waiting for one of them to speak.

He'd been nodding in and out of sleep but when Riley handed him coffee, he snapped back to life. Cypher basically lived on coffee and energy drinks. He guessed Riley and V had been talking. "Thank y.." He didn't finish his sentence. Cypher grabbed the coffee and started to drink it as fast as he could despite it being piping hot. He set the drink down for a minuet and rubbed his eyes with his knuckles. He resumed drinking his coffee.

Haley smiled at him laughing softly at his flirting, she was flirted by guys before but none that she found really attractive like him. She tried to keep herself calmed, she needed to remember flirting was allowed but feelings were a no go. People hurt her and she couldn't trust her feelings to another except her band mates. She was taking a sip of her drink when he commented on her blue hair, she stopped drinking looking up. He must be a fan, no one could see her hair right now with the beanie. A small part of her wanted to bolt for some reason, she was nervous. Not only was he hot but he also was a fan, meaning he was going to be at the concert. Meaning she could see him again after. She shook her head trying to get rride of those thoughts as she looked at him smiling as she said finally, "Thanks, I decided to make a change for the new tour. I hope everyone else likes it."

V laughed a little as Cypher chugged his coffee, but still looked at him with worry. Poor guy looked like he was pass out any second. "Don't burn your tongue off, you need that." V commented, not completely sure if he even had taste buds left after gulping down the hot drink. V scoffed a little as she mentioned she's apart of the tour too. "Unfortunately." he muttered quietly, but took in a breath and turned back towards her. "You're a part of your band, love, not sure why ours would interest you." he smirked a bit, taking his shades off and tucking them in his vest pocket. "Well, if you must know, we were making plans of what to do if we mess up. First gig of the tour, nerves are high. So, if one of us messes up I'll do something stupid to make them laugh at me instead of the mistake." At this point V didn't care if she knew. If she made his band look bad on stage, he had another eight months to make her regret messing with his band. He looked her over for a second, his green eyes studying her body language and her reaction. She seemed a lot more comfortable around them than others, which was odd. Was she actually being friendly or was it some trick?

Logan glanced away as she paused, hoping he hadn't said the wrong thing. He looked back at her as she spoke, smiling again. "Oh I'm sure they will." He thought back to his plan earlier, coming here to get a date to the concert. He couldn't exactly ask her to go with him, so that plan was out. Maybe they would get to know each other over the tour since he'd be going to every concert. He stopped his thoughts there before he got carried away. "I'm Logan by the way." He introduced himself, "So have you ever got the chance to actually visit here? Explore the city or anything?" He asked, he knew sometimes the tours were cramped, and he honestly didn't think they just wandered on their own but here she was.

Riley watched Cypher switch between taking gulps of the coffee and dozing off. She stifled a laugh. "Why don't you go lay down, dude? We have time if you want to sleep a bit." Riley said with a nod towards the bunks. 'God, I would gladly take a nap with you.' She thought to herself, zoning out for a minute. V broke her train of thought, stealing her attention once again. She shot a glare at him and sat up straight again, knowing he had to of said something snarky. Maybe she misjudged him for being a decent person too quickly. She didn't understand why it was so hard for everyone to act like grown-ups and talk about the tour with each other.

Riley rolled her eyes and kept her thoughts to herself until V came back with another 'smart' comment. "I am apart of our tour, V. We share it, babe. Everyone is being pissy and hating the other band for being talented like we're back in high school. This isn't 'battle of the bands'. We both made it, we are both here, and we both need to stop acting like ungrateful children." She snapped. She was usually one to stay neutral and keep to herself, but she was beginning to get fed up with both of the bands at this point.

She looked away from V and Cypher, focusing anywhere else but them. Even when V began talking again, she closed her eyes and bit her tongue. There was a pause before she said anything back. "You really think you'll mess up?" She looked at the both of them, shaking her head. "It's a live show- so what if something goes wrong? Hell, especially on the first day when we're still figuring out everything." She couldn't help but laugh. Them? Worried about messing up? Good one. "You guys know you're good at what you do, we all know it. You shouldn't be 'prepared' to mess up. You should be prepared to go out there and put on an amazing first show for our fans." She settled her eyes on V now. "You'll be fine. If you mess up I promise I will make myself look even more stupid on stage with out even trying."

He downed his coffee and then realized that his mouth was on fire. Riley had suggested that he go lay down for a minuet. So he slowly walked over to his bunk and flopped down. Cypher didn't get a chance to pull the sheets up because he fell asleep right when his head hit the pillows.

V watched Cypher as he crawled into his bunk. Hopefully he'd be up and feeling better by the time they went on stage. He turned his attention back to Riley as she snapped at him. He laughed a bit as she spoke. "I'm not hating your band for being talented. You guys are talented, there's no denying that. You are a good band." He paused for a second. "I don't hate you as people either. I strongly dislike the god complex you as a group have together. One on one, you don't seem too bad." V turned his gaze to the floor for a moment, almost nervously before looking back at her. She did have a point, be prepared to do the best and it will happen. However, V liked to have back up plans in case things went wrong. You always have a back up plan. Not having one is like running into a burning house, expecting to be able to grab what you need and run out, the tour being the burning house. He shrugged it off. "Even the best make mistakes, especially when one member is nervous enough he can't sleep and the other is getting anxious from just looking at him." V said in his thick accent, half joking. He smirked a bit when he imagined her on stage somehow making herself look stupid. He had to admit, from what he's seen of them, they seemed to preform well. He highly doubted she'd make herself look stupid, how could you look like that and somehow mess up that bad? The man shook the thought from his head quickly. The other members would probably burn him alive for looking at her like that. V shifted in his seat, resting his arm against the back of the couch thing.

xxxxxxxOphelia's eyes were wide open as she simply sat in one of the chairs, obviously zoning out. She let her band-mates get all chatty, while she really wasn't paying that much attention. Through her mind, she was going through different beats and changing up the tempo within seconds attempting to find a good one. None of them were seeming right... However, she was pulled out of her odd daze as a shiver went down her spine- "Dang, it's as cold as V's soul..." She mumbled to herself, not really caring if he had heard. 'It was a simple joke, oh well.' At this point, she was really just staring at people around her, listening in on what they were saying.

Riley bit her lip to hold back the laughter as Cypher simply dismissed himself without a word and crawled into his bunk. He seemed as if he was sleepwalking at this point. She felt bad for how drained he seemed, but the coffee and a quick snooze should perk him back up enough for the show. Riley saw how V watched him. She could tell he was worried about Cypher, and not necessarily just about the show. "He'll be fine, I promise. I bet you after he plays this show it'll all be downhill. He'll realize how much fun it was and probably meet some chick afterwards. Don't let him freak you out." She said softly with a small smile. Riley sympathized with him, knowing how bad the anxiety could get. There was a lot of pressure to be perfect with eyes on you constantly.

"Oh?" she crossed her arms and leaned back into the seat. "So you're saying you like me? Because i'm pretty sure you're saying you like me- or, at least- you like talking to me and that's essentially the same thing in my opinion." Her smug smile widened when he turned his gaze to the floor. "Flattered. I don't mind your company either." She laughed. Riley was teasing him, but she wasn't lying. They were lucky no one in either band had been awake enough to call them out for having a decent conversation, sitting in the same bus, or let alone breathing the same air.

Riley laughed at V. His humor was dry and sarcastic yet had some truth to it, but it was something she understood. "That's the spirit." She glanced over to the bunks where she heard someone move, but guessed it was just Cypher. When she looked back to V he was deep in thought. She tilted her head propped herself up with her arms on the table again. Riley didn't know what he was thinking, but she could tell something distracted him. "You think too much, V." She said when he adjusted himself.

Just then, his drummer came and sat down with them. She could never remember the girls name. Riley raised her eyebrows when the girl seemed just as zoned out as the rest of them, staring back and forth between her and V. Just as she began to open her mouth to say something to her, she muttered something about V. Riley looked at him, not really knowing what she said or what to do. It obviously hadn't dawned on the girl who Riley was yet.
