Going Out of A Limb For You (OTA, Tag Peter)

[st_hotflashes]

Liz was about to do something she never thought she would do - this was something that Maria would do. It was definitely a Maria thing, not a Liz thing, but she had been thinking about a lot of things lately and coming back to this as an idea.

Ever since Miguel had made her a homemade guitar and give her a few lessons, Liz had been practicing the chords for this one song. She had been practicing it so much that her fingers had a few bandages on it, as she felt like she could only go to Pike so many times for them to be healed.

She stood there off to the side of the restaurant, trying not to talk herself out of the whole thing. This was going to be entirely embarrassing and she'd never live it down and she was sure she was going to make a fool of herself. In part, that was why she wanted to do it. She knew Peter would know how incredibly hard it was for her to go up on stage and sing in front of people. It was the closest thing to demonstrating how much she cared for him. It was one thing to say it, it was another to show.

When the time came, when it was close to the time she asked Peter to join her 'for dinner', Liz took a deep breath and forced herself onto the little stage. Thankfully there wasn't the entire Inn. She was also thankful that Pike's friend Scanlan gave her a little pep-talk beforehand about how it doesn't matter about your voice or your playing if it's about something else.

This was about something else.

Liz sat down on a chair - no way she could hold a guitar and sing. She was no where near that part. And then, when she saw Peter arrive, she began to sing Your Song, by Elton John. It was barely mediocre. Her voice could carry a tune alright, but she wasn't going to win any awards for it. It was too soft and full of doubt and lacked any natural talent. As for her guitar playing... it was passable. She relied a lot on the plucking of strings rather than strumming, alternating. Switching between chords was a little choppy if the chords were ones where the fingers had to do big shifts, and she dropped a note here or there, but the melody stayed enough intact that the song was there for her to sing to. Compared to all the other actual musicians in the Inn, Liz would need to keep her day job for sure.

When she was done, she was beat red. She stumbled out a 'thank you' and got off that stage as fast as she could without running.


(ooc: OTA to before she sings and then closed to Peter after because Liz will need to hide lol)

Restless (OTA)

Bo was feeling restless. Or rather, it seemed more than that, but that was the best way to describe it. It wasn't like Sam wasn't fulfilling her needs or that her other partners weren't either. It wasn't that at all, it just seemed as if something inside of her wanted more. Like when you just seemed to always be hungry no matter how much you have already eaten.

She was at the gym, trying to burn off the endless steam she had - Sam, poor thing, was tapped out and resting. Bo had a sword in her hand and was going through some basic moves, trying to get faster and more familiar with the weapon. If she was going to be honest, she knew how to use a lot of weapons, but she wasn't an 'expert' in any of them. She wanted that to change.

She also wanted to stop thinking about tearing off people's clothes as they walked through the door and kissing their bodies all over.
