[Idly, Kerra leaned back a bit, stretching languidly back against the couch. It's her way, really. And you know, friends are pretty cool, Maki. Getting a few might be beneficial to your career. Not necessarily Kerra, but someone. Everyone needed friends, after all.]

[Legitimate advice. Kerra's Virgo career got started at a party like this. She'd just picked up a guitar and strode on stage when the lead singer got sick and covered. That story had definitely made the rounds online, and when a recording hit a label's email inbox the rest was history.]

That's how you get ahead, you know? Seize the opportunity, and a place where there's a buncha musicians and execs around is the best place for it.
