[ASHLEY MARIONETTE!]

Ashley shouldn’t have even thought about going to the mall. Even if it wasn’t that busy, she should have just stayed at the venue and played video games all day. Instead she was in public, where everyone could see the closed of girl who played in the headlining band in the local tour. She’d mumble a few words to the store clerk or whoever was behind the register but she never stuck around for too long. Honestly a girl could only stay inside for so long before she would get restless. Not even her guitar could keep her inside as much as she hated it say it Ashley needed to get out. She needed to live, breathe, make friends, do something with herself instead of playing video games and reading comics and playing guitar in her spare time.

Ash sighed as she fiddled with the edge of her batman t-shirt. Today she was pretty much batman themed. Her shirt was batman, her necklaces was batman, heck even her shoes were batman. Sometimes Ash liked to just dork out and not care what people thought of her. She was window shopping when a bag caught her eye. It was a music bag and she knew she had to have it. She walked into the store, some greeted her but she just blew them off as she searched to where she saw the bag. It was a black bag that said Music = Life on the front of it. She could use it as a tote for school or as a bag for when she would, rarely, go out.

The music in the store was coming from the radio and the song that was playing was one Ash really liked. She didn’t smile but it almost seemed like she did. All of a sudden Ash had to sneeze and she brought her arm up to cover her nose and mouth just in time. Luckily she didn’t get snot everywhere, unluckily her bull piercing fell out and dropped to the ground. If she couldn’t find this one that would have been the third one she lost this month. She dropped to her knees to look for it and she knew she was getting funny looks. Nose piercings like that hurt, and considering she just sneezed out her nose ring she was in a significant amount of pain. As long as she got the nose ring back she’d clean it off in the bathroom and put it back in. Her hands searched the ground for it and eventually she found it. Right in front of someone’s foot.

”Oh, Sorry.”

[/color] Ash said grabbing the piercing and getting up quickly. She wasn’t sure if her nose was bleeding and she really hoped it wasn’t. If it was bleeding then she’d need to stop the bleeding and see how bad it was before she could get her piercing back in.

[TIFFANY KIRK]

Tiffany had her headphones in her ears with music blasting out. She walked in a way that was almost dancing, aware that she was being watched by the people she passed. A smirk curved over her lips as she went on her way. Let them stare, she thought. Surely if you looked up 'extrovert' in the dictionary you might just see a picture of Tiffany Kirk after it. She paused in her travels as she caught sight of a pretty bag in the middle of a shop; a white one with a grafiti image on it. Deciding that such an item had to be hers she wandered into the shop without paying attention to anything else.

As she stood looking at it for a moment she was aware of movement by her feet. She looked down to see a girl kneeling there, picking something up. Tiff pulled the headphones out and pushed them into the pocket of her snug black jeans. "Hey sweetheart, somethin' wrong?" she inquired then frowned when the girl stood up. She seemed to be bleeding which was never a good sign. "Um.. babe.. you seem to be bleedin'."

The blonde girl knew that she herself might startle the other girl infront of her. You see, Tiff dressed in a manner that reflected her personality. As well as the black jeans she wore a pair of flourescent pink heeled shoes and a neon yellow tshirt with a slit down the front almost to the middle of stomach. A bright pink bikini showed beneath this as did a fair amount of chest. Ok so she was kind of weird but at least she stood out from the crowd.

There was something about the other girl that Tiffany recognised. It took her a few moment but then it clicked, "You're Ashley, right?" She had seen her around a couple of times though had never spoke to her. Ashley seemed kind of shy which was something you could never accuse the platinum blonde girl of being.

[ASHLEY MARIONETTE!]

"Hey sweetheart, somethin' wrong?" Ash heard someone say and she felt her face heat. She’d probably let out a long strain of stuttering nonsense if she didn’t quickly collect her head. The girl in front of her Ash recognized from another band on the tour. Tiffany, She was a drummer for a Tasteful Death. She recognized them as a headliner and she knew of them from her band mates complaining about Kaine. Apparently he had a thing for pranks and he had just done something with Ice to a scary looking guy. Ash was really glad Kaine didn’t prank girls or else she knew she’d be subjected to a lot of them.

"Um.. babe.. you seem to be bleedin'." Tiff said and Ash almost cursed. She brought a swift hand up to her nose just to check and when she removed it, sure enough the red liquid was covering her fingers. ”Oh geeze, Sorry.” Ash said wiping the blood off on her pants before bringing her hand back up to her nose to stop anymore blood from dripping down her face. She didn’t know why she was apologizing for bleeding, she didn’t know how to handle people without some member of her band standing there talking for her. Ashley was just plain old Socially awkward.

"You're Ashley, right?" Tiffany asked and Ash nodded as she slipped her nose ring into her pocket with her free hand. ”Yeah, yes. Sorry, you’re tiffany right? The drummer in A Tasteful Death with Kaine?

[/color] Ash said feeling her face heat just from the fact that she didn’t know what to do next. There was nobody in her band to bail her out, her dad wasn’t there to drag her off to the nurse, Ash was pretty much on her own out in public. So much for not drawing any attention to herself. She could feel the blood dripping onto her lip and she cursed silently in her head. ”You don’t happen to have a tissue, do you?” Ash asked hopefully as she switched hands to block the blood.

Tiffany smiled as she heard Ashley appologise yet again for absolutely nothing. It was kind of cute really. Tiff didn't ever appologise. You kind of got the feeling that she was sorry but she never actually said as much. It was one of those things she really could not managed to do. Weird huh? She drifted back to reality from her thoughts when she heard her name. She nodded and replied, "Yup, that's me. Kaine's an oddity, just ignore him." A grin slipped over her face as she spoke. She adored her bandmate really even if she would never admit as much to him. She liked provoking him too much for that.

Tiff dug in her pockets when Ashley asked if she had a tissue. Did she? The blonde girl usually came prepared for anything. She pulled out a plaster, her credit card, her I.D., her cell phone and beneath all this she found a tissue packet with a few inside. Grinning at her own 'boy scout' level of preparedness she stuffed everything else back into her pockets and handed the tissues over. At least now you know why she seems to have so much random crap in her pockets. Call it force of habit if you like.

She had seen Ashley put the nose ring in her pocket so she knew it was the piercing that was bleeding. "You're pretty brave having that done," Tiff commented with a smile. "I'm scared shitless of needles." Ooh this was new. She rarely admitted her flaws or weaknesses infront of new people. Aw she was starting to mature just a little bit. Don't go expecting too much though. She's still a jackass when she wants to be. Today was a happy day for her though, her mood feeling rather light. "You ok?"

[ASHLEY MARIONETTE!]

[i"Yup, that's me. Kaine's an oddity, just ignore him." Tiff said and Ash felt herself smile a little. Kaine was an oddity, and oddity who played really funny pranks. Ash could never pull a prank, she could barely function like a human being offstage. Being shy wasn’t a good trait for someone who played in a band but that Was Ash. She was the quiet one who people thought was snobby because she didn’t talk. Ash was really thankful that Tiffany had a tissue. She took it and tried not to get any blood on Tiff while she did. She shoved the thing up her nose and wiped her hands off on her jeans again. She licked her lips and even if it was a disgusting way to get rid of the blood, it was more effective than wiping several times with her hands. ”Thanks, you’re a life saver.”

[/color] Ash said a timid smile playing on her lips.

"You're pretty brave having that done," Tiff said and that made Ash blush. She wasn’t brave, she just thought it was a good idea at the time. It hurt like hell to get and it was more of a “Finally making Headliner” gift to herself. It was probably the only time she was sure of something. "I'm scared shitless of needles." Tiff said and Ash nodded. She didn’t like the size of the needle when she went either and she had closed her eyes and held someone’s hand while it was done. "You ok?" Tiff asked and Ash nodded.

”Yeah, sorry again. I’m fine. I’m not used to being social I guess.”[/color] ash said feeling her face heat even more. She really hoped the blood had stopped and she was sure the workers were glaring at her. Ash was just happy she only got blood on herself and not on anyone or any of of the merchandise. ”Sorry about all the blood” Ash said apologizing again and she wanted to smack herself in the forehead. Ash was to antisocial for her own good.

Tiff smiled warmly, wondering how best to put the other girl at ease. All this appologising could not be good for her really. Once was fine but too many times and you must start to run out of stuff to say sorry for. "You really don't need to say sorry you know," she said in a friendly manner. Unlike Ashley, Tiffany was a very social being. She met new people all the time which was pretty obvious judging by how relaxed her posture had become and how she had dropped into her 'we're friends' attitude.

Another thing you really should know is that the enchanting Miss Kirk has no concept of personal space. She stepped forward and cupped Ashley's chin in one hand, gently tilting so she could see if there was any real damage to her nose. "I don't think it's too bad," she commented with a shrug, moving her hand away once more. "But having said this I'm a drummer not a doctor." Tiff added with a wry smile. She too was aware of people staring. Let them stare. It made little difference to her.

But she could tell they did not share the same idea about being stared at. "Want to go get a coffee or something?" Tiffany asked, cocking her head ever so slightly to one side as was a habit of hers. See, she can be nice when she gets in the mood to be that way. It just doesn't happen all the time, that's all.

Ash was going to apologize for apologizing so much when Tiff told her not to and she bit her tongue. If she wasn’t apologizing she was stuttering her way through conversations, it’s why she didn’t talk much during interviews. She might have seemed snobby to some people, but she was really just shy. ”If it’s not apologizing I stutter.” she said pulling the tissues out of her nose, she was pretty sure it was done bleeding by now. When Tiffany cupped her face she could almost feel her face go bright red but she just pushed it to the side of friendliness and concern. If you saw someone bleeding in front of you, you’d be concerned right?

Well now Ash knew it wasn’t bad, she could probably have her piercing back in by the end of the day. Even if Tiffany wasn’t a Doctor, like she said, Ash would take her word for it. Usually if it didn’t look bad, it wasn’t. ”Um, Thanks Tiffany. So-“ Ash started to say and she was about to apologize again for almost bleeding on Tiff. Ash knew she had to stop apologizing, especially for things that weren’t her fault. Ash apologized a lot, sometimes not even for her own stuff.

Ash give another timid Smile and nodded when Tiffany asked if she wanted to go get coffee. ”Sure, but I’ll pay.” Ash said and she did realize that buying Tiffany coffee was a form of apologizing. ”What brought you into this store anyways?” Ash asked trying to strike up some conversation that didn’t end with her apologizing for every little thing. Ash almost wished her dad was here, he was scary enough to keep everyone away, not just the boys. He usually came around when Ash went shopping so he didn’t have to worry about being a social disaster. Ash had to grow up some time though, she couldn’t be daddies little girl forever.
