"...so, over here?" said Jenny, collecting a tray of food and looking for an open table.  Anywhere was fine, but a corner was better.

"Over here!" said Diwa, pointing to a table in the center of everything.

You were able to find a corner without much trouble.

Huyen took a seat.

"So can you believe how much homework we have already?" said Diwa.  This was a common complaint for her.

Jenny sat down with the air of a queen surveying her land, and began to eat heartily, letting the others start the conversation.

"You sound more like Susan's sister when you talk like that," Huyen said.

"What song do you think we should go with?" Hanako asked.

"Lamb of the Pit, definitely," said Jenny.  "It showcases who we are really well."

"Hey, I put the work in," said Diwa.  Which was only true sometimes.

"Good choice!" Hanako said.

"Sometimes," Huyen said.

Diwa sighed dramatically.

"You see what she subjects your poor sister to, Maria?" she said.  "How can you watch this?"

Maria, in turn, just stuck her tongue out at her sister.

"Thanks.  Any other ones we should hit, if we get a chance?" Jenny asked.

"Maybe Rain of Sparkles and Blood?" Reina suggested.

Huyen mirrored her girlfriend.

"Payback."

"Sure, that works," said Jenny.  "Any thoughts, Hanako?"

Susan broke down laughing as Diwa posed dramatically in a classic figure of despair.

"It's a good one, what about 'Too Much Cake'?" Hanako asked.

"Such a shame," Huyen said with a sigh.

"Eh, sure," said Jenny.  "Works as a wrap-up.  Do we know how many songs we'll actually get to play?"

"Oh, man," said Susan.  "You guys are crazy... so are we doing the Battle of the Bands thing?"

"It's twenty minutes per band," Reina said. "From what I heard."

"Might as well, I think our biggest competition would be the Daisies," Huyen said.

Susan winced.

"They're creepy," she said.  "I think they eat people or something when nobody's looking."
