Mia: Fine. Until then.

Oliver: Until then.

Oliver: Here. On the house.

Mia: You can't always give me freebies, you know?

Oliver: Says who?

Mia: Uh, probably your boss.

Oliver: Tell you what. After my shift, you and I can go on a little adventure, and you can buy me ice cream.

#HL3

Mia: How so?

Oliver: How are you going to get new life experiences to write about if you stay home and look at your notepad all day?

Mia: It's not all day... I come here, too.

Oliver: That doesn't count, and you know it.

#HL3

Oliver: Well, what was the inspiration for the other songs? The ones you wrote before you moved here?

Mia: I don't know. Whatever I was feeling at the time? Experiences I was going through?

Oliver: Have you thought that maybe that's why it's not working now?

#HL3

Mia: I have already finished eight songs, but five of them were written in Windenburg. So, technically, I've only written three. That's nowhere near enough.

#HL3

Oliver: I was going to say good morning, ut judging by the look on your face, it doesn't seem like it.

Mia: And you'd be completely right about that.

Oliver: Still having writer's block?

Mia: Unfortunately.

#HL3

Mia: Okay, enough. I need some air.

#HL3

Mia: Ugh, it's pointless!

(sighs) How am I going to finish twenty songs by the end of the month?

Former Valve writer mocks report that Half-Life 3 devs are being redistributed, joking, "There's never a crunch at the end of a project" A Valve insider claims it's starting to move devs on from Half-Life 3, but former studio writer Chet Faliszek thinks it's unlikely.

Aaaand, that's it for today! I hope you enjoyed today's chapter 🥰

Jamar: Yes. You've already shown me some of your songs, so it's actually less than that. You're a good songwriter. I'm sure this will be easy for you.

Mia: (clears throat) Right. Of course. No pressure...

Jamar: We'll meet again in a few weeks, then. You're free to go. Oh and welcome to DSV!

#HL3

Jamar: Good. We're aiming for a release window by next quarter, so by the end of this month, we'll need around twenty songs from you. That will give us a good amount to select from the best ten or twelve songs, and save some for a deluxe edition if sales are good.

Mia: Twenty? In four weeks?!

#HL3

Jamar: There hasn't been any relevant music coming out lately, so people are eager for something new, something fresh. That's why we want to act quickly and take advantage of the moment. Does this make sense to you?

Mia: Of course!

#HL3

amar: All right, let's dive in. We're excited to have you sign with us. As I mentioned, when I heard you perform in Windenburg, I knew I couldn't let you get away. You have real talent!

#HL3

Jamar: Did you settle in all right? If you need anything, just let me know and we'll try our best to accommodate you.

Mia: Everything is fine, thank you! The house is great.

Jamar: Good, good. That's what we like to hear. Please, have a seat.

Valve randomly decides to announce HLA OST on CD and vinyl for April release…. I bet this won't be the year of Half-Life. #half-life #half-life-alyx #hla #valve #valve-games #hl3 #half-life-3

Oliver: Here you go, one cappuccino.

Mia: How much is it?

Oliver: Nothing. It's on the house. Think of it as a welcome gift.

Mia: Thanks... (clears throat) I should probably get out of the way. I'll see you another time?

Oliver: Yeah. See you...?

Mia: Mia. Mia Lehmann.

#HL3

Oliver: For work or a change of scenery?

Mia: Work. I got signed with a record label. So, yeah.

O: A musician, huh? Should I take your picture for the wall of fame now, or wait a few months?

M: You haven't even heard me sing

O: Don't need to. There's something that tells me you'll make it.

#HL3

Oliver: So, where are you from?

Mia: Is it that obvious that I'm not from here?

Oliver: Eh, a little bit. But honestly, I'm just good at reading Sims.

Mia: I actually just moved from Windenburg.

Oliver: (whistling) That's a long loading screen.

#HL3

?: Ah, a newbie. Welcome in!

Mia: Hi, uh...

Oliver: You can call me Oliver. What can I get you?

Mia: Let's see... What do you recommend?

Oliver: Not to brag, but our cappuccino is great.

Mia: (chuckling) Well, I guess I'll have one then.

After setting up her apartment and grabbing a quick lunch, Mia realized she still had a few hours to spare before her meeting with Jamal. So she decided to walk around the city, getting to know the place that was going to be her new home.
