Spencer was waiting for his boss, sitting at one of the poker tables, because he had to admit that these chairs were particularly comfy. Made to make people sink into them and relax, wanting to sit longer and gamble their money away. It seemed like ever aspect of this casino was created to trick nice cats out of what little money they owned. Denali must have been rolling in the profits. The young Himalayan curled his tail around so that it laid in his lap and began to stroke it gently. A little habit he must have picked up from Brendon. Even Holli was doing it now. Damn that contagious Javanese, Brendon. Speaking of Brendon, where was he? He shouldn't be this late to a meeting with a boss. It was very risky. What if Ruki wasn't going to take it? Well, he'd have to see how the man in authority would go about it.

Ruki was in the back, betting ready for his meeting with his new..employees of sorts. Of course, he was pretty patient with people. he'd never get angry on the first day--or, at least, he wouldn't show that he was angry on the first day.
That and he couldn't fire them without permission from his own boss, anyway.
Humming as he stepped out from the back room, adorned in what he had pretty much worn to meet up with Denali, he stared at the man at the table and smirked. His attire consisted of a short-cut kimono robe of sorts, a thick sash that fell down to the backs of his thighs, stockings that covered most of his thighs, and knee-high boots.
"Hello there," he cooed, a slight swagger in his steps, "My name is Ruki. I'm in charge of the music department--I assume you're here for me, I hope i'm correct," he murmured, hopping up to sit on the table near the other man, "And your name is...?"

When the male came and jumped up on the poker table, staring down at Spencer, the blue eyed male turned his eyes up to stare right back. "Hi. Um, I don't think Denali would respect us jumping all over her poker tables..." He didn't want to get on his bad side, but he had heard from another employ that Denali snapped at him a good amount for sitting on them. He cleared his voice and apologized for the snobbish first words. That was a terrible first impression. "Sorry, I'm Spencer. Ya, I'm here to see you. Um, I'm not to sure where Brendon might be though..." He reached up and scratched the back of his neck nervously.

Brendon was late, Of course, He was rarely on time. The slim male jogged threw the door and towards the poker table where Spencer and another male were sitting, s**t that must have been his boss, He was in deep hit. " Man... I am so sorry. I got busy with something back in the park" Brendon had been sitting in the park playing with his tail, He had a nasty habit of picking at the split ends in his tail and sometimes he would get caught up in it for hours, In the time he'd spent with Holli he noticed the habit rubbing off on the girl, They would spend hours together not saying a word picking at they're tails. " I"m like never late, time just got away from me today." He dug the toe of his shoe into the carpet as he watched the male he'd never meet, He knew Spencer would probably chew him out if he knew what he was really doing.

Arching a brow at the man when he was told what to do, he eyed the table and pointed down to it, "I'm sitting on the wood, not the felt," he murmured, reaching down to brush his fingers over the velvety surface that he just barely managed to dodge.
Ruki was quite tiny--a good 5'1''[in human terms] and a little over 100 pounds[again in human terms]. But despite this he still had a bit of a baby face and didn't seem to be overly skinny, which was nice..for others to look at, at least, he himself found himself to be chubby, but that didn't matter right now, now did it?
"Spencer," that's what he figured...this would be an interesting little group now wouldn't it. "Well Spencer if your friend is going to be late--" And he paused. Speak of the devil. Looking up, he eyed Brendon and waited for him to get his chatting out with Spencer before silencing. "Hello, Brendon," he murmured, straightening up to tuck his hands into his lap. "I'm Ruki--your boss," he wouldn't go through the details with the second one, might as well let his friend explain later.
"I called you two here because we need to figure out a schedule in which we'll be playing--" He reached under his kimono, he was wearing shorts underneath so it wasn't a huge deal, and pulled out a small planner that he'd whipped up the other day for just this reason. Flipping it open, he looked over it curiously for a few moments, "I'm booked to play weekly wednesday through saturday. Of course we'll have other bands play, but you two and I are the mains. We need someone to play more often wednesdays and thursdays, because I have other things to do and I cant always be on stage..." Ruki was all business today, wasn't he? Probably not in the best mood ever. Oh well, these two seemed like they weren't quite taking things completely seriously anyway.

When the male laid down a few serious words on Brendon Spencer could feel himself cringing a little, ears flattening back. Great, now Ruki probably thought that since they were friends that Spencer was probably just as late as Brendon was or some strange irrational relation like that. He cleared his throat, and straightened up in his seat to shake off the nerves that had gathered. Once he finished addressing Brendon, not that it took long, he turned back to the 'group' of them. What seemed to catch Spencer's attention the most was that they would all be playing on stage. He knew what he could do, and what Brendon could do, but what on Earth did Ruki play?
Spencer listened to Ruki explain the situation with the schedule and when they could and couldn't play. "I'm here whenever you need me to be. Any type of schedule is fine really." He shrugged and looked over at Brendon. "Right, Brendon?" He knew that making time for the gigs they would be playing showed that they were passionate about their job and that they would want to do it. If Brendon started blabbing his mouth about not being about to do certain days then that would be all bad. Then he turned his mind back to the instrument thing. "Say, Ruki... what do you play exactly?"

"Good," he replied, smiling a bit. He wasn't angry, just a bit irritated--it had been rough already, but that wasn't their fault at all. So he shouldn't take it out on them.
Scribbling something down in his planner, he closed it and set it against his lap, looking down to Spencer--ha, it felt nice. Looking down at someone for once. Not that he could when he was actually standing.
"Play?" He asked, a smirk crossing his lips, "Uhm...I've been trained in drums...but I self-taught myself guitar, bass and piano. I've also picked up on vocals recently, before I left the shelter that the humans kept me in. I'm sure I could possibly pick up on a few other things..." He shrugged, knowing he was talented when it came to music. he'd dedicated himself to it ever since his father told him he no longer wanted anything to do with him. "Oh...what do you two play--or, rather, what are your specialties?"

Brendon smiled before he pulled out a chair and plopped down in it. He loved talking about music, The male loved music. It was his life, Since he really hadn't found something worth his life. " I Sing, I sing really well and I love doing it. I also play piano..." He trailed off letting his content smile cross his lips, He played a slew of instruments but he wouldn't go into detail since Riku didn't ask him about those things. The male bounced in his seat as he waited for Spencer to explain what he was good at. The male kept bouncing as his ADHD kicked in.

Spencer bit his lip as he stares at Brendon and his enthusiasm. The Himalayan wasn't entirely sure whether it was good that Brendon was so keen on explaining his talents, or boasting far to much. Spence figured it wasn't out of a bragging need. Brenny just wanted to share with the man. "Mhm, and I play drums, and uh... other percussion instruments. Well, except piano. People think it's a stringed instrument but it's really percussion becau- um... ya..." he was starting to go on. He also loved to talk about music and stuff but he didn't want to blab and run his mouth. It seemed Brendon had a better hold on his words than Spencer did right now and that was strange, cause usually it was the other way around.
He tilted his head and crossed his arms over his chest, leaning back in his chair a little more, trying to relax more that Ruki didn't seem like that strict, pushy, potentially stressful boss that he had expected him to be. "So, when exactly do you think we'll get to see the schedule for the band to be playing? Hm?" He tilted his head curiously, feeling excited about the fact that they were finally going to have a band and play regularly for a killer Casino.

Wow. Hyper kid, this one was.
"..okay then," he nodded and made a few more notes in his notebook before tucking it back into his kimono of sorts.
"I can get it out pretty soon--what's your experience in all this, huh? How long have you been playing?" He looked up to the others and cocked his head, ears perked as he slid off of the card table and made his way over to the bar. "Do you want a drink?" He questioned them both, taking out a few different liquids to make up his own drink.
Ruki was pretty easy-going as long as he wasn't ticked off. Which...by the looks of one of the cats bouncing, and the other one thinking he didn't know what a piano was...it might become problematic.

The more serious Himalayan meerly up his hand up and gave a small, "No thanks," just to be polite to his new boss. He glanced over at Brendon, hoping the other tom wouldn't be to picky about his drink, if he ordered one that is. Spencer turned his focus on Ruki's most interesting question. Well, to Spencer it was the most intriguing anyway. "Well, you see... I haven't really played a show before in my life, but I can play the drums. I played for Denali and she seemed happy enough. Most of my life I've just been banging my sticks against whatever I could. It sort of just came naturally." He gave a positive nod, but he didn't seem cocky. He was actually really grateful that he could play drums decently and didn't boast about it. He didn't like to brag about anything really. His eyes narrowed back on Brendon, wanting the boy to say or do something. Anything to take the spotlight off him for a split second.

Brendon nodded at the male, " I'll take anything." he told the other male nodding again, " I really haven't played anywhere either." he muttered scratching the back of his head nervously as he watched his boss behind the bar, the male teacing his eyes over to his friend spencer nervously hoping that Ruki wouldn't flip out on the both of them for they're lack of experince, " I wish I had... It'd be great" he muttered with a small sigh

"Well, I've been doing shows for a while. When I was in the shelter we used to hold shows, so I've been playing a bit of everything for my whole life. i prefer to sing, actually--makes life easier without having to find instruments," he mixed up a few drinks, sliding one over to Brendon with a cocky grin, "Tell me what you think, might be a bit strong."
Making his way back to his spot, he sipped his drink and looked over to the instruments on stage. Hm.
"Do you want me to show you how to do the drums? I played for a long time before I picked up guitar and bass. You sound like you just need to learn where everything is, not so much how to play."

Brendon sipped on the drink making a face but he nodded, " It's good." He muttered nodding at Ruki before taking another sip his face finding the same expressing, This drink was very strong. Brendon had only drank a tiny bit in his life and this drink had to be the strongest, He knew he should only sip it because when he had gotten drunk before he found himself almost dead, He was going to be cautions. His eyes widened as he listened to Ruki ask about teaching the drums, He knew that Spencer was a very good drummer and he didn't need lessons. He was not only a natural but he'd practiced drumming on things so much that he was almost a pro. " We really only need to know where the things are, I'll play guitar untill we find a bassist and a guitarist, I have the perfect person in mind I just have to find them." There were two other cats he knew from his show days, He'd have to go on a pretty long journey to find them but they were worth it. He knew that they were good and together they could be great. The dark eyed male let a wide grin cross his face as he thought about what things could happen.

Spencer felt his tail bristle ever so slightly at Ruki's first words. Show him how to do the drums? Was he trying to imply that he didn't believe he could drum. If he couldn't drum then Denali wouldn't have hired him. As the male went on about how he thought Spencer just needed to know where everything was his fur calmed and his expression went from potential glare to understanding and calmness. He glanced over at Brendon and nodded quickly, "Yeah, I'm just not familiar with... the set up. I wouldn't mind learning a lesson or two about that." He walked over to the stage and hopped up easily, walking his way over to the drum set.
As Brendon brought up who else would be in the band he widened his eyes and glanced over his shoulder quickly at the boy and his drink. "Them? Who's them?" Brendon hadn't even talked to Spencer about this. How could the boy go ahead and make decisions without even discussing them first. It must be his impulsiveness.
