A ring of the phone caught Dawn's attention as she looked at the paperwork for one of her artists. The group was very up and coming, and it seemed quite popular on all the streaming stations. This particular paperwork was meant to cover both them an Dawn. Give them both everything – within reason – that they could wish for. Most importantly, they were about to embark on their first world tour.
The second ring, finally had Dawn reaching over to pick the phone off the receiver. "Kindred Moon Records, this is Ms. Chekov speaking." she stopped to listen to the person on the other end of the line then quietly held her breath for a moment before replying, "Mr. Markison! Lovely to hear back from you, everything alright with the paperwork?"
At that moment, the white double doors of her office opened and Celeste, her trusty second in command at Kindred Moon Records, walked towards her with something that was never far from her. The tablet they did a good portion of their business from. Celeste set the tablet down, facing Dawn as she listened to the man on the line. "Mhmm, I have it all right here in front of me." Dawn then looked up and mouthed 'Thank you' to Celeste. Celeste smiled and nodded before returning to her desk out in the lobby. "Mmm, Yes, everything looks to be in order. Hold on one moment..." she turned to her own computer and glanced at the email in front of her. Her nearly white-blue eyes gleamed with joy as she turned her attention back to the man on the phone. "Mr. Markison! Everything is, indeed, in order and I am signing the document now. It's been a pleasure working with you on this gig and I hope to see you at the grand opening." she said in a bubbly tone. "Yes! Of course, please pass on the invite to some of your friends and family as well! The more the merrier!"
She picked the stylus from the side of the tablet up and signed the forms, all had been cleared by her attorney and now she was ready to make the biggest purchase of her life. And what's more? She was doing it as a gift. She just needed to get in contact with two more people. Or rather, two more. Possibly three. It all depended on how well she could get those old business men to listen. Something that was often easier said than done.
As Dawn pressed 'send' she turned her attention back to the phone. "Thank you again, Mr. Markison. Have a great night!" The moment she hung up, she began dialing another number, she glanced at the clock and sighed. Eight PM, that would probably mean it was far too late to be reaching who it was that she needed to reach. The seller. An old fart that no longer wanted what he was selling despite all those that he had to look after. Though, she wasn't going to complain, she was getting it at far below market price. The phone continued to ring about four more times before she admitted that it was just too late and that she would have to wake up at the normal working hours of business people. That meant one thing. Going home and going to sleep as soon as possible.
Dawn started to pack up her stuff then grabbed the tablet and headed out, she stopped at Celeste's desk, handing her the tablet back. "Tomorrow I'm going through with the buy, Markison agreed to everything and the bid is set. We just need our main gift."
"That's great Dawn! Have you thought of a name or are you keeping the old one?"
"Oh, that is getting a change, thankfully all the players save for like three or four free agents are coming with the package. Thankfully they are all used to this weather, I know we'd have so much work on our hands if we had to acclimate them to the colder temps."
Celeste nodded and smiled "I hope that this works Dawn, so many are leaving the city. With the zombies and those horrible monsters..." she shivered, Dawn nodded sagely.
"I hope so too, Celeste. This is my home now. I don't want to see it fall just so we could live in the open."
