It'd taken some hunting and, well, some moping, before the pup had even deigned it necessary to leave her room. She'd spent the majority of her first day unpacking, laying everything out on her desk and making room for the table mixer her brother'd be bringing her when it was safe. For now, though, she was stuck with her PC. It suited her purposes, but it wasn't the best for what she wanted to do.

Frustrated both with life in general, the school, and her brother taking his sweet old time to bring her her present, Emery had struck out to look around the campus.

Of course she gravitated towards the student union, where flyers were strewn about for all sorts of clubs. She eyeballed some of them, arms crossed over her chest, before spotting a flyer that looked promising. She reached out, snatching it off the board, and her tail started wagging.

Radio Amity.

A real radio station?! Right on campus?!!

The pup practically bounced as she bolted back to her room, doublechecking where to go before she dropped the flyer in her room. Rummaging around for a few things, Emery then made a beeline for the AV room. She knocked on the door lightly before cracking it open, peering in curiously.

"Um, hello?" She called, voice low in case they were on air. She stepped inside, closing the door behind her, and looked around. "Anyone here? I'm here about the, uh, Radio Amity thing?"

The room was dim this time in the evening, and the air a bit hazy toward the ceiling, drawing the red light from the ON AIR sign. Something scurried across the shelves of equipment that looked like the school hadn't updated it in half a century, but Enzo liked it like that. There were a couple things generations before him had insisted on, but since settling in his operation, he had carefully phased out what Poke and the other members had insisted he keep. A rat sat on one of the switchboards, cleaning it's whiskers while it waited for the queue to flip the switch, and a voice around the corner of a row of fat, black-screened computer stations was speaking, finishing as he heard the door shut smoothly, "...from the Jazz archives of New Hallow Sicily."

As he spoke, another rat's head bobbed as the oily-haired little Reaper wove a finger, bringing a needle arm down onto a well cared for LP. The intro to the song stretched on for a bit, but by the time the singing had begun, the rat on the switchboard jumped at it's queue, and the On Air sign blinked off, leaving them in a much friendlier white light that sent several roaches scurrying under the tables.

"You're in the right place, Doll." The smoke, apparently, came from the cigar he was more than likely not supposed to be smoking as he swiveled on his chair and rose to meet her, bouncing a bit to the music that played softly behind them. "What can I do y'for?"

Her eyes drew up to the bright On Air sign, so Emery hung back near the door, looking around as she listened to the Reaper at the microphone. She smiled a little at the jazz music, pushing her headphones around her neck to hear it better. She stepped forward a bit when the chair swiveled around, biting her cheek hard.

This was jacking awesome. It wasn't like the places her brother played in, but it was nice. Homey. Definitely homey. "I saw your flyer, I was wondering if you're still doing auditions or anything. I can't, y'know, play like that..." She jutted her chin toward the LP playing now, grinning a bit. "But I'm pretty good at mixin' things together."

Of course she thought she was excellent at that, but it was hard to keep that ego in place when her inner AV geek was dying to play with the gadgets in the room. "I'm Emery." She added as an afterthought, sheepish.

"Mixin' huh?" An ashtray seemed to scuttle toward where his hand hovered over one of the desktops and as he popped the plump stogie down, several roaches scuttled away. "We got a few boards and some of them computers." He eyed her up and down approvingly for a moment before clapping his hands together and offering her one to shake, "Names Enzo. Enzo Valentino. The Rat Man on the airwaves, aheheh. You seem like a hep cat, and honestly, you know what any of these things are or how t'push a button, you're welcome! What's your bag? Whats your handle?"

Em watched the ashtray scuttle over, nose twitching, and lit up. "Boards? Seriously?" She'd been working off the PC since Jackson's fit. Getting to play with a board got the pup's tail wagging. "Wicked." She looked to the side, grinning, before shaking his hand. "Thanks, Enzo. It's nice to meet ya." And here she'd been thinking Amityville had nothing to offer.

She perked at the question, snorting a bit, and grinned. "Uh, bag?" She looked confused, but handle, pfft. She could figure that out. "Handful of times I've done anything, it's always been DJ MRA on the waves or to the crowd." It was a simple thing, and she liked calling back to her roots without being obnoxious. Although she'd played to a crowd more than over the radio. It was hard to sneak out a radio signal from the pack house... "More to the crowd than airwaves, though." Ahem.

"A performer, then!" He lit up. "DJ MRA, huh? Whats it stand for? And bag, you know, your experteeeese, what are you keen on. I'm tryin' to expand our repratwar, but I aint lettin' just any ol' Palooka behind the microphone here. Fish gotta' work their way up."

She grinned at that, shrugging. "Just my name. It's lame, but, the initials sound pretty cool if you don't know better." She explained, scratching at her cheek. "Emery Rosalie Algernon. Mouthful. MRA's way easier." Her eyes danced as she stepped closer, looking around. "And I mix a lot of stuff. Pop, modern music. Been experimenting with some older music mixed with new stuff, but clubs like good beats, so..." She shrugged, looking back at him. "I'm good at that."

"My brother got me into it. Even gave me my first board." Until it'd been smashed. "I brought some older stuff with me." She offered, nodding to her bag. "My brother's supposed to be replacing the one that got broke, so until then I'm sort of stuck." A few days. She was literally counting down the minutes. ._.

"Aaah, you're inna' that beep-boop robot music, eh? Well, we don't got anyone coverin' that currently- you handled these things before, then? Perfect! Damn, Doll like you with gams like that is wasted on the radio, but it's been a hellatime wrapping my brain around that phone computer of mine, let alone that broadcast equipment. I'll stick with the radio waves," He rubbed his nose, smiling as he seemed to think over his own babbling. "I don't think I seen you around. New?"

She grinned at that description, laughing a little, and rubbed her nose. "Yeah, my brother's a DJ, he's been showin' me when I can get away to his place." The visits were admittedly few and far between but he'd been a good mentor. She blinked at the... compliment? And blushed a little, ears twitching. It was just easier to move on, really!

"Yeah, I'm new. Just got here a few days ago." She snorted, shrugging a bit. "Still sort of waiting on some equipment to show up before I finish unpacking." There was a small shred of her waiting for Jackson to change his mind but she was mostly over that.

"I see, I see," Enzo wove a hand to one of the rats who helped another switch over the record currently spinning to launch a new song. "I been here a while. Still considered 'first year' though," He snorted with a shrug as he walked back over to his chair, "I aint so big on Exams."

"Yeah?" Emery cringed at the idea of exams, snorting a little. "What's it like here, then?" She asked, crossing her arms over her stomach. "I haven't met anyone but you since I got here, but I spent most of my time unpackin', so..." She snorted a little. It was hard to get into the spirit of meeting people when one is moping, you see.

"My Dad seems to think this place is the best school ever, but he's probably biased." She added, scratching her cheek. "And it's been decades since he's been in a school so I'm pretty sure his opinion is crap." For multiple reasons, but at least that reason was logical.

"Politics and near death experiences I think about covers it," Enzo laughed, thinking it through, "Could give ya' a tour if you want, these little bastards got me covered. Your Pop reminds me of my sister, aheheh."

Em's nose scrunched up at politics, and she snorted a bit. "Don't think you can get away from those without dyin'." And even then... She grinned a little at the comparison, though. For some reason Jackson in a dress made her snicker. "He's, uh, somethin' else." Shaking it off, she grinned. "A tour'd be cool. I mean, if you don't mind. I've been sorta wanderin', and I got a map somewhere in my bag, but it's not as helpful as you'd think." She shrugged, grinning crookedly. It'd been a gift from one of her siblings and she was fairly certain the map was just a piece of paper with scribbles on it.

"Then it's settled!" the greasy little Reaper swapped out hats, nabbing a grey cap from where it hung at his desk, murmured a few words to the upright Bass thrumming soulfully at the hypnotized rats all working the radio controls, swung his coat over his shoulder and gestured to the door, "Ladiez, first, of course!" A new set of gams with a functional head on her shoulders- always a plus. Grow the fold.

"Politics does mean lots of good interview opportunities. I've been wanting to cover certain things more, but get stretched too thin, if you catch me. Seems there's a crisis around these parts every week. How you at banter?"

OMG SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG trying to get back in the swing of things now!

Emery leaned back when the Reaper hopped up, opening the door to wait for him with a grin. "Thanks." She said, heading out of the cramped little AV room and looking around. Her nose twitched slightly at the sudden change of atmosphere. She glanced back at Enzo as they saunted out of the AV room, shrugging a shoulder.

"Banter's easy, innit?" She said, grinning a bit. "When you've got a personality for it, anyway. Could be interestin', though." Covering politics wasn't a particularly interesting area, but if things were as crazy as the Reaper was suggesting, it'd be stupid to try and cut them out. "To be honest, I've never talked on radio before." She smirked a bit. "But I'm sure I can handle that." Hell, it was just like talking. Easy peasy.
