PEOPLE I’VE MET (SO FAR)

— —

AGORA IS FULL OF INTERESTING CHARACTERS TO SAY THE LEAST.

01 - RUDY STARFACE
THE FIRST PERSON I MET HERE WAS RUDY STARFACE, SUCH AN ECLECTIC FELLOW, I GUESS. I MET HIM AT A BAR CALLED SYNAPSIS. I GUESS IT’S WHERE ‘BUDDING TALENT’ GOES ACCORDING TO HIM, I HONESTLY JUST NEEDED A DRINK AFTER THE FLIGHT HERE. I COULD GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WHAT MR. STARFACE HAD TO SAY. I GATHERED FROM A DRUNKEN SPEECH THAT HE WAS A TALENT MANAGER FOR ATLANTIS RECORDS BACK IN THEIR HAYDAY, AND NOW THEY’RE TRYING TO FIND NEW ARTISTS TO BREATHE LIFE INTO THE LABEL. HE HAD SINCE BEEN FIRED, BUT STILL MAINTAINED ALL HIS CONNECTIONS.
HE OFFERED TO TAKE ME UNDER HIS WING THOUGH, WHICH, I CAN’T COMPLAIN. I WAS TOLD THIS CITY WOULD EAT YOU ALIVE IF YOU DIDN’T HAVE SOMEONE BY YOUR SIDE. I JUST CAN’T FIGURE HIM OUT — HEAVY TOBIAS BECKETT VIBES.

02 - NICOLE
WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN? NICOLE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I’VE EVER LAID EYES ON. SOMETHING ABOUT HER JUST SCREAMS TO RUN AFTER HER; A SCORCHING FEELING. BUT I HAVE TO REMEMBER WHY I CAME TO THIS CITY IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND IT WASN’T TO FIND TRUE LOVE. I GAZED UPON HER THE SAME NIGHT I MET RUDY IN THE BAR, I DIDN’T GET A CHANCE TO SPEAK TO HER THOUGH, HERE’S HOPING SHE NEVER FINDS THIS…

03 - 14PERKOCETS & YUNG PEGME
THE LOCAL RAPPERS HERE ARE QUITE SOMETHING. I CAN’T MAKE OUT IF THEIR MUSIC IS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY OR LITERALLY JUST THE ONLY EXISTENCE OF SOUND IN THIS GODFORSAKEN CITY. THE LOCALS LOVE THEM I SUPPOSE, BUT IT’S LIKE EATING OFF BRAND CEREAL FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY KNOW WHAT THE REAL SHIT TASTES LIKE IF YOU’VE ONLY EVER HAD THE STORE BRAND?
ONE OF THEM’S GOT A PROMISCUOUS WIFE WHO FLOCKS TO ANY NEW TALENT THAT THE CITY SPITS UP — GUESS I SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT. THE OTHER IS REALLY ABOUT THAT GANG SHIT BUT EVERYTHING HE SAYS JUST SOUNDS GAY AS FUCK. I GUESS THE CULTURE IN AGORA IS JUST DIFFERENT.
