[Riza's professional enough not to roll her eyes at both him or the women; instead, there's a look that someone might find familiar under the general heading you are an idiot, I can't believe I'm having to deal with this and you.

Of course, one good boob deserves another, and fan number two demands the exact same for her autograph. Luckily they were the last ones so Riza kicks them both out. She returns not long afterward, but only to make sure the star doesn't need any help out himself.]

Interesting fans.

[sharktrash]

[ He can never quite figure out why fans ask for body autographs anyway. Granted, at least they can get a bunch of selfies from it before it inevitably washes off (he hopes they don't stop bathing...), but still. Maybe they just wanted him to touch them, who knows. Either way, before he can offer anything more permanent in addition, they're kicked out, and that's that today. ]

[ He leans back in his seat and smirks at her. ]

About the same as usual, I'd say. [ He eyes her up and down for a second. ] Do you want anything signed?

[ u kno like your body with his dick ]

[intohell]

[Someone should be happy there's a 'don't harm the performers' clause in her employment contract because that and the fact that she doesn't want to hurt anyone who might be close to Roy are the only things keeping her from doing so.]

Sorry, not a fan. Shame your bandmates aren't around, though.

[sharktrash]

[ They would be if they were self-aware enough to realize someone might want to do that... maybe. As is, he actually looks surprise. ]

Seriously? How can you see all this [ he waves a hand over himself ] and not fall madly in love?

[ It's probably a joke. Probably. He grins again. ]

Ooh, got the eyes for someone else, huh? Who is it? Genos? Jecht?

[ Haha whoops yeah apparently he doesn't consider Roy that attractive. ]

[intohell]

My eyes must be defective.

[Of course, anyone who thinks so needs their eyes or head, checked. Then again, she doesn't have a gun aimed at him and thankfully so after that song earlier.]

I thought there were five of you. Or are those two the only ones you consider competition?

[sharktrash]

I know a good remedy.

[ Guess what it is. Hint: it probably includes dick, too. Friggin' Italians. Anyway -- ]

Nah, but they seem to get the most attention. What with that whole huge shirtless older guy thing and the frontman thing. Especially the frontman thing, actually. It's fine though, it's just how things work in this industry. Plus he's a great guy -- oh wait. [ A conspicuous grin. ] Lead guitarists tend to get lots of tail, too. Or are you into chicks? [ His expression fades into something a bit pained for a moment. Right, Ryuko. She's gone. ] I've got bad news for you in that case.

[intohell]

[Somehow that seems less Italians and more just him. Especially that grin. Good try, although it'll take more to rattle her.]

You almost sound jealous. [Except for that last bit.] I'm not, but thanks.

[sharktrash]

[ Look has she met Xanxus? Or heard any of the typical profanities? If there's a dick-centric culture -- okay, nevermind. ]

Pssht nah, that ain't my thing. I'm more vanity kind of guy. [ He's not even sure where that comes from. Something about the Seven Sins in relation to that bunch of people he (probably) imagined earlier that week. Whatever. He breaks out laughing. It's sharp and loud. ] Seriously? Oh my god, "Stick in the mud" Roy has scored a chick!

[intohell]

[She's military. If there was ever a dick-centric culture...

Okay, she has to hold back a laugh at the whole "stick in the mud" description of Roy. What a difference his public face was here compared to home. Then again, that was just an act at home. No one paid attention to you when they didn't think you were up to anything.]

Weren't you just going on about lead guitarists and all that?

[That's not a denial. Not a confirmation, but it's not a denial.]

[sharktrash]

[ Okay point she wins this one. ]

Well, yeah, but it usually goes with the appropriate personality. You know, kinda more like me. [ helpfully points at himself with his thumb. It's true, though, loud personality can mean a lot. He's surprisingly popular for a cellist in a metal band, in other words someone not really necessary, though admittedly a significant part of the band's signature sound. ] Guess it's a matter of taste, huh? Okay, real talk.

[ Leans in a bit with a conspicuous grin. ]

I don't think I can sneak you into his room, security and all, but... Got his number yet?

[ Operation: get Roy laid has begun. ]

[intohell]

[Why would she want to... cue a lot of internal groaning as she follows along. Then again, this could work to her advantage.]

Not yet. But if someone were to help me, I'm sure I could find a way to pay them back. Nonsexually.

[It's almost sad that she has to specify, but she isn't taking any chances.]

[sharktrash]

[ ...lbr it's probably good that she's specified. ]

[ His grin grows wider. He grabs the nearest paper-equivalent (possibly a napkin, or someone's card), and generously writes down Roy's number on it before holding it out. ]

You're welcome.

[intohell]

[There's a very good chance it's actually his number and not Roy's, she wouldn't put it past anyone to do that. She'll reach out to take it in any case.]

Thank you.

[sharktrash]

[ Guess there's only one way to find out, huh? ;D But shh, that's fine, he gets plenty of tail anyway. He can give one up for a bro, etc etc. ]

I'll be expecting that payment, then.

[ Because being nice isn't in his PR. Still, apparently there's no rush with that as he'll give her something of a wave before strolling off to deal with the instruments and whatever else. ]
