Groovy Tunes, Thursday

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie had Metallica blasting away, alternating with Pink. The kittens were happily rolling over each other in a window display for the newest CD's. And she was working on a new story. Well, maybe she can work it into the old one.

The Nomadic Celtic Chef, looked out over the deserted plain, and set off toward the mountains in search of the secret ingredients for the fajita sushi rolls ragout that would be the centerpiece to the diplomatic banquet, bringing two worlds together in peace and harmony.

Little did he know he was being followed....

Groovy Tunes was open.

Talk to Charlie

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

She's trying to figure out who's following the chef, and doing a little head-banging as Metallica ramps up.

"Hey, Charlie!" Turtle took a break from candy bar towers and had Apu take the reins for a little bit so she could hop over to Groovy Tunes. Bearing two Red Squishies.

"Turtle, hey!" Charlie quit headbanging long enough to turn the sound down a bit, and grinned when she saw the Squishies. "Yum. How's business?"

"Kinda slow today," Turtle admitted with a sigh before handing one of the Squishies over toward Charlie and leaning her back on the counter. She sipped at hers as she gave a good look around the store. "How about here?"

"Only one guy so far," Charlie said, nodding over to Gabriel. "And he doesn't seem to want help. Thanks!" She took a sip of the Squishy, leaning on her side of the counter. "Although, I'm making my way through Dean's recommended music list. I should be through most of it by Saturday. That's something accomplished." She grinned down at her notebook. "Along with other things."

"Is this what...?" Turtle started to ask, turning to look over her shoulder, and that's when she saw the notebook and her brain sharply shifted gears. "Oooh." She turned around, sipping as she leaned forward. "What's this?" She noticed the letters, only allowed herself to read a few words, because any more would go beyond the bounds of simple curiousity and into basic rudeness. "A looooooove letter?" Straw still in mouth, she waggled her eyebrows at Charlie. Didn't look at all like a love letter, but it was fun to tease.

Charlie started giggling. "Nooo! It's, well, it's a story. Oh, here, you can read this bit. I'm not sure what's going to happen next anyway. Maybe a sandstorm." She handed over the notebook and looked thoughtful. "Maybe spice raiders or traders or something."

Re: Talk to Charlie

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle smirked. "I was gonna suggest something like that the moment I heard 'sandstorm," she said, and then went to take a closer look at what Charlie had written. "Like those little guys in the cloaks in that one movie, with the big sand-ship that sold the robots?" She nodded, and her grin grew as she read. Nomadic Celtic Chef! Whoo!

"Y'know," she added idly, "I took a writing class last semester. Was a lot of fun."

Made a crap-load of money, too...

Re: Talk to Charlie

Charlie looked thoughtful. "Maybe put in the next bit? Since I'm stuck? And then I can go from there. But the Nomadic Celtic Chef eventually reaches the mountains and the mystical plants, I know that much. So no killing him off." She handed over a pen. "Who taught the class?"

Dean grinned as he walked into the shop and heard what was playing.. "That's my girl," he said with a grin.

Re: Talk to Charlie

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie turned pink, but grinned big. "Hey, Dean. I had to try it. It really is more hard-core than modern stuff, hunh?"

Re: Talk to Charlie

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"From what I've seen of modern stuff, yeah. So you're enjoying it huh?"

Re: Talk to Charlie

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah! It's got a great beat. I don't know that I could live on a steady diet of it," she admitted. "But I do like it. It makes me want to go out and kick something. Maybe a big trash can. How's your day going?"

Re: Talk to Charlie

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good. Don't have any classes so I can just laze around. How 'bout you? How's life treating ya? Had any more dates with Johnny? Or any other guy I need to interrogate about his intentions?"

Re: Talk to Charlie

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie snickered, and said, "Does hanging out at the Renaissance Faire count? Mmmm. Because that's been about it. Although I met some more guys since then, Marco and Zuko. Zuko's the one that keeps making out with Mel during classes."

Re: Talk to Charlie

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Whatever cranks your boat I guess, but class isn't the first place I'd be making out." He paused. "Well maybe last year's sex ed class..."

Play with the kittens, listen to the CD's

For anyone just looking for stuff who can't resist fuzzy adorableness.

Gabriel was bored, and so he'd left the church to wander about the town. Some kind of very modern music was heard from the shop, and it contrasted interestingly with the kittens on display together with some kind of thin boxes. Musical recordnings, he assumed. He'd never managed to keep up with the technology.

Gabriel entered the shop and stared at the kittens. "Odd combination," he muttered.

Charlie waved from across the shop. "Let me know if you need help, sir!"

Gabriel picked up one of the kittens by its neck. "You sell these?" he asked. He wondered if it would chase away the squirrels.

"Um, they're not mine, they belong to the store owner," Charlie said nervously, watching Cottontail swish her tail as she was held up. "You'd have to ask Miss Valentine. Um. Careful? Please?"

At that moment the kitten decided it had had enough and dug its teeth into Gabriel's finger. He cried out in surprise and dropped the creature back among its siblings, muttering.

Charlie hurried over to check on the kittens, then said, "Sorry about that. Do you need a band-aid?" Because telling someone not to pick up the cats when they're there to be played with would be, well. Stupid.

Gabriel looked at his bleeding finger, waiting for the wound to heal and disappear. It didn't happen, and he muttered something to himself again. "Yes."
