MARCH UPDATE

BARNABY FINCH and annalise henderson like this

Class comes and goes as expected. The professor was late by 15 minutes, only a quarter of the class actually showed, and the lecture portion could've easily been record and posted online, but "what is learning without effort," as their professor loved to say.

Reflexes slide the beaten laptop back into his back, and habit throws the sack over his shoulder. It was 2:00 already, which meant two things: his classes were done for the day and work was right around the corner.

Which meant BARNABY FINCH was right around the corner - that bastard.

If only he could delay the dread a bit longer...

"Hey Anna," he catches her driving right by him, already set for the door, so he eases into a short jog behind her. "Wait up."

Matching pace with her is easy - girl is a child compared him.

"Where you off to?"

annalise was supposed to graduate last semester. extenuating circumstances return her to slateport university, to a sense of normalcy and routine that feels unsettling, now. she used to be a social butterfly in these classes, quick to complain and find comradery in her classmates over how terrible the professor is — but now she simply gathers her belongings at the end of the class and spirits herself out. [break][break]"hm?" [break][break] she looks back and sees Steven Campbell quickly catching up. her pace slows a little, yielding to the old art of walking-and-talking.[break][break] "oh, i was just headed to the library." [break][break]she reaches up to adjust the backpack strap over her shoulder, scrounging up her social skills. [break][break]"what about you?"

Library? He never pegged her as the studious type. Maybe going on tiktok 24/7 or going out with her friends, but definitely not the 'going-straight-to-the-library-after-class' type.

Go figure.

"I got work in a few, so i'm about to head out."

For a second, his face darkened, only to be instantly swallowed by another smile. It was easier to play the easygoing guy without a care in the world. It allowed him to forget about the realities awaiting for him and focus more on the now.

"So anyways," His smile widened, "I heard from aaron faust that you're a bit of a singer."

More like he heard from someone who heard from someone who heard from aaron faust that she had a nice voice. But those details were irrelevant. What mattered most was that she could sing, and Humble needed a new lead singer. A match made in heaven.

"My band's lead vocalist transferred out of the region. Recent events caught up to her, I guess."

Who could blame her? Even Steven was itching for a reason to escape. Though, thanks to Rocket, his wouldn't be as simple as a quick transfer across the ocean.

"I was hoping maybe you could tryout to replace her? We have a show coming up next weekend, so you would be a real life saver."

"oh."[break][break]it comes out as a breathy acknowledgement of his afterschool plans. there's a sense of finality to it, like a conversation purposefully led down to a dead-end. with her gaze settled on the hall ahead of them, she doesn't notice his change of expression. [break][break]the mention of aaron faust lures her attention back towards him, guarded curiosity clouding the look in her eyes. within a few words, the curiosity turns to incredulousness. [break][break]she's a good singer?[break][break]and aaron faust knows about it? [break][break]and aaron faust and Steven Campbell know each other?[break][break]her mind overflows with questions. [break][break]"i didn't know you were in a band," she starts with a blink, looking away from him again. [break][break]"aren't there better people to ask about this? i've never, like, performed before."

"Maybe, but time is of the essence."

Between rehearsals and preparations, they could all use all the available. Especially with this absence turning perminate.

"you'll do great - probably," he tried adjusting his smile, fixing it into the one that typically earns a 'i love your smile' or similar shit to that. It was a pain playing pretend, but this was important. This was Humble's future on the line.

"Please? Just this one time"

annalise doesn't know how or why she's being roped into Steven Campbell 's last-minute issue. she feels like he could find someone more equipped to handle his problem in theatre club or something. she's an amateur, better suited for belting songs in the driver's seat of a car than in front of a crowd of people. [break][break]but he's smiling and saying please. she has always been weak to helping others. [break][break]"okaaay," she yields, dragging out the word in faux exasperation. "fine. i'll do it."[break][break]she looks up at him through the corner of her eye. [break][break]"but you owe me big time for this."

Thank arceus.

Steven wasn't one to beg, but when it came to his band - aka his one and only passion outside of surviving - nothing was off the table. Smiling wide, his arm took on instincts of its own, curling around her neck with speeds befitting a rambunctious pup bumbling out into the open world for the first time.

"You're the best," The side hug was short live - just long enough to punctuate his appreciation. "Really, anna, the best."

Retracting his warmth, Steven shuffled through the papers from his open bag and pull at one stained with yellow printer ink. On it, bold letters wrote out an address, all of it written by sharpie.

"Here's where we practice. We start at 6, but no worries if you're a few minutes late. Carter always is anyways."
