Violet has been trying her best to acclimate to Canadian and American music after her transition out of Sweden. She's found an affinity for jazz/soul inspired pop music with a fast beat and positive vibes before a game, although totally gets the appeal of listening to heavy metal that a lot of her teammates have chosen as part of their pre-game rituals.

1) Sour Candy by Melt. This is an absolute bop but not really fast-paced enough to hear right before the game, so this primarily serves as a way to get Violet in her happy place so she's more receptive to other songs.

2) Don't Lose Sight by Lawrence. It's a pretty upbeat song with a clear message about not getting disillusioned with the tough parts of your job or the frustrating systemic aspects of work (mostly a boatload of bureaucracy) while keeping your eyes on the prize.

3) Denim Jacket by Sammy Rae and the Friends. Sometimes your identity is tied to what you wear and how you've chosen to express yourself, and sometimes what you've got to wear can function as a costume that changes your mindset. For games where Violet's feeling nervous or challenged, sometimes you've just gotta put on your denim jacket and let it rock.

4) Valerie by Amy Winehouse. Yep, I think the prompt-specific stuff stopped about a song or two ago, this is just a nostalgic, great song. Might not be great as a pump-up but Violet loves to listen to it anyways.

5) Hemingway Lemonade by Careless Cub. Honestly, this is just a plug for one of my friends' bands who I met through sim leagues heh.
