Groovy Tunes, Friday

[rebelseekspizza]

It was a less restless Dante hanging out at the shop today, a giant bowl of nachos and guacamole sitting on his desk. (He didn't pay much attention to the news, but some things permeated even his bubble. The important stuff.) He'd grabbed the red guitar again, and was messing around with the strings as he leaned back in his seat.

The music in the store was set to 'pounding', of course. It'd been a while since he'd played some good, old-fashioned Combichrist in the store.

Stark Industries, Friday

[era_two_triangle]

Okay, Peridot had her rock-solid loaf of bread. She had the robot duck that she'd built last week. And she had--

"AMAZING!"

She had a sewing machine to repair, as though fate itself was embracing serendipity after her learning about darning and repairing hems in Home Ec class this week.

The duck and the bread were being totally set aside and forgotten today while she dissected the sewing machine, and then reassembled it from bottom to top. Faithfully, even. Whoever had brought this thing in to be fixed today would be relieved to find that it didn't also fly and pick up am/fm radio.

She was learning so much about clothesmaking this way!

"Nyeheheheheh..."

And once it was fixed and working, she was spending the rest of the day just stitching rags together to get a feel for how it worked. She'd totally say it was quality testing if anybody asked, though.

In town, Friday afternoon

Ringo had heard that Raven was back on the island, but had sort of kind of been avoiding running into her. Yes, Raven was a friend, and she really was glad that the other girl was back, but she wasn't sure what she'd say, and Ringo was (probably rightly) convinced that she'd demand information about Kathy and not really pay enough attention to the fact that Raven had to have had a terrible time herself.

But this whole thing with Nanika wasn't resolving itself (obviously), and she didn't have a better source of information on where Kathy's body might be or how to get there than Raven.

Which meant that now, thanks to putting things off so long, she was basically guaranteed to start of asking about Kathy and ignore Raven herself.

So, yeah, Ringo was feeling more than a little guilty. However, it wasn't stopping her from heading out on her ATs to find Raven.

( And lo, plot begins )
