A text sketch from the past of the band Rocks in Boots part 2 (Patreon)

A continuation of the events described in part one https://www.patreon.com/posts/text-sketch-from-132215559

The events are canon, but they won't be shown in such detail in the game. The conversation in the second text piece takes place a few days after part one

Evan: Alright, now let’s try the new song. Pedro, you’re on backing vocals, Tommy - no surprises with the improvisation, and Miya, liven it up at the end.
Tommy: Come on, I’m starving. My stomach’s about to start eating itself. How about we grab some pizza and then continue?
Pedro: I want cheese.
Tommy: Oh god, you’re so boring, PePe. Always going for plain cheese.
Pedro: Stop calling me that.
Evan: I’ll take meat. Rehearsal’s going to be long today, we need some real food.
Miya: I’m in the mood for shrimp. Or maybe mushrooms. Order half and half.
Tommy: As you wish, my rock queen. So, meat, boring cheese, and half shrimp, half mushroom. Should I add pineapple to all of them?
Pedro: Just try it and your guitar’s going straight out the window!
Evan: Tommy, stop teasing him. He’s not in the mood today.
Tommy: Wait, he ever gets in a good mood? I must’ve missed those days. Hey, Captain, want me to order you some pastries too?
Evan: I don’t eat sweets.
Tommy: Oh, here we go again. Then I guess I don’t know how to play bass anymore.
Evan: Fine, take some. But they’re for everyone.
Pedro: Better get two packs. Mr. “I don’t eat sweets” will scarf down a whole one by himself.
Tommy: Miya, want anything?
Miya: Chocolate milk for me. And get some soda for everyone.
Tommy: Got it. Alright, I’m off.
Pedro: Wait, I’m coming with you. I feel like walking, and someone’s gotta keep your pineapple obsession in check.

Evan: Tommy’s been talking more than usual lately. What’s going on with him?
Miya: He’s worried. Just like all of us. He talks more, Pedro gets irritated, and you nitpick everyone.
Evan: And what about you? You’re shutting down again. Don’t stay quiet if something’s wrong.
Miya: I’m just thinking about what all this means for the band. You all pretend everything’s fine, but it only makes you more frustrated. I’m scared you’ll end up fighting again.
Evan: Don’t worry. We’ll be fine, we’ve gotten through worse.
