[OOC: Fangirls Lucas like whoa for the musical selection.]

Clark had spent some time listening to the radio and decided to try to update his music collection some more. For one thing, most of the music he had was on cassette.

[not_entirely]

Lucas nodded to Clark as he came in. "How's Antigone Rising treating you?"

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"Very nice." Clark said. "I like them."

[not_entirely]

Lucas smiled. He always liked being able to match up people and music. "I'm glad. How can I help you today?"

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"I thought I'd try to catch up with some artists that I do know." he said. "Willie Nelson, Jimmy Buffet handwavey easy listening classic rocky people from the late 70's, mun's mind is blank..."

[not_entirely]

"Okay," Lucas lead Clark over to the section of old standards that just keep going. "Buffett is quite good, he's actually written some books with his daughter."

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"Has he really?" Clark said, surprised. "Wow, are they any good?" Another trip to the bookstore? Why not.

[not_entirely]

"They're childrens' books. I haven't actually read them."

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"Ah." Or maybe not. Maybe if he had kids. or a young clone

[not_entirely]

Lucas was wracking his brain for some more modern artists to recommend, because that's what he did. "How are you liking Fandom so far?" He asked absently.

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"Oh it's nice." he said. "I was looking for a middle ground between Smallville and Metropolis, and this is doing quite well."

[not_entirely]

"That's good. Did I hear you took over the hotel?" That didn't fit in Lucas's de-The-Man-ify Clark plan, but he could work around it.

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"I was sort of tricked into it, but yes." Clark said. "I was trying to check out of the hotel and it, didn't work out that way."

[not_entirely]

"You managed to take over the hotel while checking out?"

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"Mr. Crowly slipped the paperwork into the checking out forms." Clark said. "I probably should have checked more carefully."

[not_entirely]

"The devil is in the details, yes." Lucas raised an eyebrow. "You could just pass it on to someone else, of course. . . ."

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

Clark shrugged. "Honestly I think I'd like to give it a shot. I'd been looking for a job here that wasn't buying or selling anything processed, and had just about decided to pack it in and go back to Smallville."

[not_entirely]

"Well, I'm glad you stuck around then." Lucas quirked his eyebrow higher. "Processed?"

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

Again Clark shrugged. "Basically I didn't want to work retail." he explained. "Not, that there's anything wrong with that, just, not for me."

[not_entirely]

Lucas nodded, not taking offense. "It's not for everyone. What did you do before you came here?"

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"I was a reporter for the Daily Planet." Clark said. "In my world that's a major publication."

[not_entirely]

"Wow. As far as I know we don't really have a newspaper around here, just the nightly radio broadcasts."

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"Oh believe me I checked. I'd definately have tried for that if there was a newspaper here."

[not_entirely]

"I'd say you should start one, but I'm not sure if there'd be anything to report that the radio doesn't cover. Unless you did an investigative report on how the radio gets its information . . . that'd be interesting."

[mildly-super.livejournal.com]

"I am curious about that." Clark admitted.

[not_entirely]

"So am I."
