socialcapital | [ JACKSON HEART ]

[ok]

This setup makes it easy to scurry through the hallways and get up to like, some maintenance roof access area between floors. There aren't a lot of places in an arena that are outdoors and NOT highly visible by everyone all the time so they simply must make do.

[Doesn't mind a maintenance hatch or weird perch somewhere. More importantly Totality is buffer than Jackson--]

Totality's blessing has set his body to peak physical condition, which means he is buffer than the accountant.

He places Loren down on the ground carefully.

"How's that?"

Great, thanks--

I mean I just thought it seemed kinda stifling in there so wherever woulda been fine.

"Haha. It's a little stifling."

He kicks a vent that's sticking out to see if it's like, too hot to touch or something, and finding it acceptable he hops up and sits down on it.

"That's just kinda how it is, though."

Ya think...? I guess if it's gotta be miserable whenever you're not on stage it might as well be a hassle for everybody else now 'n then too.

"It's not..."

He trails off in the middle of trying to say 'it's not miserable' and shrugs.

"Being on stage is worth anything, though. But honestly, you're right. I have sort of developed a reputation for running away."

Dunno, there's never been news of ya missin' a performance so they should just relax.

"You'd think, right? Like, I'm going to sing, obviously. But I guess they think I'm going to snap under the pressure or something?"

Did they ever try like.... spacin' your schedule out more?

He BARKS a laugh.

"The schedule's the schedule! I'm supposed to figure out ways to manage my own stress level to keep up with it."

Mmmmmmmm... I sounds like there are at least a few levers available they could be usin' if they're worried about pressure buildin' up...

"Honestly, I really want a vacation, because I've been on fuckin' tour for like, two and a half years nonstop I think. But they have NOT added vacation time into the schedule."

[did this man not get a vacation until he got stabbed]

Oughta fire the agent.

This man did not get a vacation until he got stabbed.

"I caaaaaan't, it's my mooooom."

moms can be fired

"The whole thing is so fucked up opaque and I dunno where I'd even start with like, legal shit, and anyone I can ask is involved in it, and I don't have enough downtime to go looking for someone else to ask, so... I dunno. I'm not here to be smart I'm here to be pretty and sound nice."
