Empire Records and Bidet [2/8]

[not_entirely]

Lucas couldn't sleep and was bored and shared a brain with a student from the shop class so he decided to open up shop early while he puttered around on his computer playing yahoo!pool looking up whatever he could find on excommunicated Italian architects .

Today's music mix, all German, all the time: Rammstein, Die Toten Hosen, Die Frisore, Blumchen, Nena, and what sounds suspiciously like an old cartoon's theme song are all included.

Sam walked into the store and headed straight for the bargain record bin.

[not_entirely]

Lucas looked up with his customary raised eyebrow. "Can I help you find anything?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I'm looking for an easily breakable record. One that makes good shards. Can you recommend something?"

Realizing this may sound a little crazy, Sam also said, "Oh, and something kind of fun and funky with a good bass line. You know, that can be turned up during a dance break from schoolwork."

[not_entirely]

"I've found that most records break the same way. Are you looking for vinyl, or a CD? I imagine a CD's shards would be somewhat sharper edged." Lucas glanced down at the bargain bin. "As far as dance breaks, perhaps ABBA or something similar?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Hmm." She picked an album out of the bin at random, saw "Sonny and Cher's Greatest Hits" and automatically put it back. "You've got a point about that, but do you think a vinyl shard would be sturdier in the long run?"

"ABBA?" Sam looked horrified. "No, and no disco. Sorry, I should have specified. I'll actually be listening to this one."

[not_entirely]

Lucas raised both eyebrows, and then shrugged. "Perhaps. It would be harder to break into shards, however. As far as the one you'll be listening to, what type of music do you normally enjoy?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Also a good point," Sam said, "do you have any CDs you're trying to offload at a really low price? It's for a class assignment."

"As for my music?" She cocked her head and tried to describe it. "I like just about anything but rap and country and western. Especially stuff from the 70s and 80s. Nothing depressing this time."

Once she's finished at All and Sundries, Nadia heads for Empire, figuring if anyone had an alternative to duct tape, it would be Lucas.

No, she's not certain how she came to this conclusion, either, but there you go.

"Hey, Lucas," she calls as soon as she enters. "Can you help me with something?"

[not_entirely]

Lucas tilts his head. "Sure, Nadia, what's up?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged slightly, shifting her now rather full backpack on her shoulder. "Do you know of an alternative to duct tape?"

[not_entirely]

Lucas stared at her for a long moment before answering. "Actually, I just might." He lead the way to the back room. "Marc's technician left some of his things here."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia followed, both excited by the prospect of duct tape alternative, and confused as to why it would come from a surprisingly successful Gwar tribute band's technician. "It's for a school assignment," she said, just so her new boss wouldn't think her completely insane.

[not_entirely]

"Shop class?" Lucas raised an eyebrow. "I have some old cds, if you want,"

He dug through the pile of stuff left by Gwar and pulled out a roll of black tape. "Here we go,"

Thanks! and we hope to see y'all there!
There will be boozeness provided and hoped he could hang one in the store.

"Hey Lucas," He called as he walked towards the counter, "Can I hang one of these in your window?"

[not_entirely]

Lucas looked up from his laptop and raised an eyebrow. "Is the poster going to offend me?"

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"Not unless you don't like parties that involve people, music, and alcohol." Orlin grinned, "You want to come?"

[not_entirely]

"Hmm. People. I can enjoy the company of people," Lucas ticked things off on his fingers. "Booze I am a fan of. Music? No." He shook his head with a smirk. "I simply can't abide the music part of that offer." He looked back at his laptop. "Go ahead and hang it up, and I'm sure I'll probably attend."

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

"Wonderful. And would you mind terribly if I asked you to bring some of your CD's? I don't have a wide selection yet." He grinned.

[not_entirely]

Lucas cast a glance around the store. "I think I can assist. I'm afraid I don't have any salsa-Enya, though."

Morning

For the record? Tonks loves eighties music. The sound of Nena's 99 Red Balloons was enough to put her in a good mood as she entered the store.

Lucas glanced up as someone entered the store. "Can I help you find anything?"

Re: Morning

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." Tonks rubbed the back of her neck. "I'm looking for music for a friend of mine. Do you have, like, really intense classical?"

Re: Morning

[not_entirely]

Lucas frowned, thinking. After a moment he looked up again. "Define 'intense'?"

Re: Morning

[luridpinkspikes.livejournal.com]

"Like "pissed off Beethoven" intense?" She suggested with a nervous smile.

Re: Morning

[not_entirely]

Lucas thought a little more. "Trans-Siberian Orchestra, perhaps?"
