Joanna fumes at the lack of a taxi! She knows one is going to fly by at the moment she drops her bag, but she can't take it anymore. She carefully walks over to a bench and sets down her bags, knocking another bag aside to let her own suitcase down. She shrugs off the straps holding her guitar case to her back, and when she sets it down, she notices papers stuck to the sides of the guitar case.
"Aww, damn!" she curses. "Some brat stuck something on my guitar!"
She rips it off the side of the case, and it comes off remarkably entirely intact. She gives it a glance, and stops in her tracks as she notices the Blue Sky Records logo emblazoned on the top. She glances through the contract, figuring out what it was... "Huh..." she muses, reading over it.
She skips to the end, where it has the usual dotted line for the signature. "Shit," she says, remembering that she hadn't bothered to pack a pen. She decides to check to see if she somehow accidentally packed one, and then notices the pen taped to her case. She gasps in shock, and looks wildly around, trying to see if anyone there was responsible for that bit of wizardry (not bothering to account for missing it on her first pass, Joanna thinks the pen was delivered just as she tried looking for one.)
Joanna sighs, then jots her signature on the line. She glances at it, and notices a clause that says something about pricking herself with the pen and pressing her thumb to the page.
Joanna looks around again, thinking that this must be some kind of joke. Still no taxi.
She hesitantly holds her left thumb out and presses the tip of the pen into it. "Urgh!" she says as the sharp point easily pricks through her calloused thumb, welling a drop of blood. "Ow, ow, ow, stupid #!%@#& contract!" she curses, pressing her thumb next to her signature.
