Tempest opened the door, and he was greeted by a "Boss is late. Coming outta his paycheck." someone joked. the worker that said that then asked him if everything was okay. Tempest waved it off saying he was, and went into a recording booth with a keyboard almost the same from his room in the booth. Now this wasn't a human run studio which made it hard enough but having vampires, demons, angels, anthros, and humans in the same building was sure interesting if anything else. Everyone there was like a close knit family. They cared for one another and enjoyed their work.

Jo had gathered the coffee and drove off to the studio with a chipper mood. She sipped her coffee slowly and pulled up to the addressed studio. She shut off her car after pulling into a parking spot and stepped of her Jeep carrying both coffees. She walked up to the door and pushed it open with her back and looked around for his room.

Felix, one of the anthros and Lexi, a vampire were the first to spot her.

Felix was a male bipedal feline with a sleek black and white coat, wearing a sweater vest and khaki pants. Lexi was deadly pale of the skin and had black shoulder length hair with a purple streak going down it. She wore a grey tank top and black jeans.

"Hello there miss, can we help you?" Felix said as they approached with a polite smile

Joanna looked at him and tried not to jump seeing people she didn't recognize. "Sorry- I was looking for Tempest? He told me to meet him at this address." She said holding the two coffees firmly.

"Cool come on back friend." He started down the hall to the recording booth Tempest was working in, in the middle of a session, a song leaking from the booth

(Cool, I can't check it out now but I will later ;))

Joanna heard his voice and smiled. When she entered the right room she stood next to the person at the sound booth. "He's really good." She mumbled.

"Yep no one else here can play the piano that well." Lexi told her with a slight smirk

Joanna laughed a bit and nodded her head to the tune. "I bet- it's super impressive."

Tempest finally slowed the tempo as the final notes started to fade off into silence.

Joanna set the cups down and did a soft clap as she grinned.

He lifted his head up from the keyboard and looked into the sound booth and waved happily to Jo before starting to head over there

She waved back and picked up the cups. "Here!" She chirped handing him a cup. "It's hot still."

"Thank you Joanna." He said to her "What do you think of the place?"

She nodded glancing around. "I like it- very unique." She hummed sipping her coffee.

"Yeah it's great giving everyone a chance to have a job they love…and nor focus on the species of someone…I mean you humans usually take most good paying jobs." He shrugs, talking like he wasn't one.

She gave him a funny look. "What do you mean- 'us humans'?" She asked clearly confused doing air quotes. She clearly hadn't picked up on all the hints this place wasn't human.

"Oh I guess Felix wasn't a big enough hint…well I have the people working here that society doesn't like because they're not normal…like anthros, vampires, demons, angels….and I think Gavin's a werewolf." I chuckled a bit.

"Wait- you really mean not human. Am I that dense?" She asked herself. "What about you? What makes you special?"

Tempest tilted his head a bit and half his face appeared to shift to a blue and white furred canine's face then right back to human "Lucky to pass off as human most times…"

She jumped a bit at this but let a smile break through. "That's like really cool!"

He blinked a couple of times "thanks, that's not usually the response I get." Tempest chuckled a bit at her positive response

"What do you usually get?" She asked a soft smile on her lips.

"Usually the typical 'you're not natural you hellspawn, you're going to get killed in the street…people just don't like things like me cause I think they're scared of all us here." He motions to Felix and Lexi as an example.

"which is downright silly I think." Felix purred

"I don't" Lexi grinned, fangs visible in her mouth
