Groovy Tunes, Tuesday

[tigerundercover]

Raven was totally going to look up some of the classic early hip hop and 90s R&B that Hardison had told her about, she was. But just now she'd gotten completely stuck on one particular song the stereo had picked to play at her at the top of her shift. Specifically, she as stuck on attempting to learn the woman's verse. The irony of a shapeshifting zombie killer rapping "first thing's first I'll eat your brains" was just too entertaining to her right now to pass up.

But holy crap rap was hard. She was beginning to think that the people she saw and heard trashing on it since she got to the future were just jealous because they couldn't get their lips to move that precisely and fast. It was like trying to do a really long, constantly shifting, dirty tongue twister.

Someone should possibly put an explicit lyrics warning on Groovy Tunes, today.

"Hey is it your lunchbreak yet?" Kathy asked, a little desperately. Look, she wanted out of here before the stereo decided to go for broke and start playing Living Dead Girl or something.

"Yes," Raven decided without even looking at the clock. "It totally is."

Jono would forgive her, if she explained the circumstances. He had warned her about the stereo.

"Let's go to the diner," Kathy said. "Because Eliot won't mind that I can't really pay for lunch yet."

Or much of anything right now. She really needed to get on with replacing stuff, like her IDs and debit cards and phone and the like.

"Sounds like a plan." Raven had some money and wouldn't mind covering Kathy, but arguing would mean spending longer with this stereo. "And if he's not there, we'll dine and dash!"

Adventure!

"You know that only works when the waitstaff doesn't know who you are, right?" Kathy asked with a small laugh. Because, obviously, Raven couldn't be serious! "I'm pretty sure we're both a little bit recognizable."

Raven raised an eyebrow, then shifted.

"So I'll just have to be recognizable as someone else."

Eliot's face worked really well for scheming.

That had Kathy's hands coming up over her mouth as she gasped and giggled at the same time. "Oh my god," she said. "I can't even--How many times have you done that?"

[tigerundercover]

"To get free food? This'll be the first time." Raven grinned. "To help Hardison get incriminating pictures. . . ?"

[spin_kick_snap]

"I need to see these," Kathy decided immediately. "It's unfair that I haven't. My own best friend, holding out on me?"

[tigerundercover]

"Hey, I'd totally show them off if I had them. We'll have to steal Hardison's phone."

Or, you know, ask him. One of those.

[spin_kick_snap]

"You should ask him to share," Kathy said with a nod. "You're his TA. He likes you better."

She and Hardison didn't chat much, oddly enough.

[tigerundercover]

Almost like how Raven and Eliot barely spoke to each other.

Of course, when they did, it was mostly snark.

"I'll get right on that," Raven promised. "In the meantime, wanna see if I can make the Luke's staff pee their pants?"

[spin_kick_snap]

So weird!

"...You know, it's terrible? But I kind of do," Kathy said. "Let's go cause trouble."
