(( T’Ama’s Quarters, Deck 2, USS Valkyrie-A ))
Ada: ::Shouting over the drums:: I've got one. You're so used to being seen / in the right place / at the right time / like a model out of a magazine / every single hair in place
T'Ama: That one was a very specific vibe that I think is not my vibe. Background music.
oO Background music?? Oo
Ada: Hm, well, what're you thinking?
T’Ama: What about this?
She banged out an intro riff on the drums before settling into a fast paced beat.
T’Ama: You / You’ve been knocked down and got up again / In the corner, you’re surrounded, no defenders / Woah you / You’ve hid your fury and kept it in / But it’s time now you ignore and turn to embers
T'Ama danced on the throne as she played, her enthusiasm was infectious and delightful. Azura listened a moment longer before joining in with a fill into a punctuated bassline.
T’Ama: Maybe we can change the lyrics if we pronounce Valkyrie with two syllables… Valkree.
Ada: Classic! Do it!
T'Ama: ?
She couldn't help it--it was inevitable. Bassface. But it meant she was feeling it, and in the moment. Nothing could beat the feeling of locking in with another musician.
T'Ama: ?
Ada: No it's great. I love that you have a vision and direction. Keep going!
T'Ama: ?
