Everything was out of tune today. Every CD played, every musical instrument Lucille tried. And when she gave up and really wished the Silence would appear, it was nowhere to be seen. Lucille suspected it was grinning behind her back.

Today earplugs turned out to be her best friends.

Some days it was easier to leave the house if you weren't yourself. Which was why the Raven behind the counter at Groovy Tunes today looked like a pop star. A pop star who's outfit switched up hourly, as Raven got bored and twitchy and needed a change.

The stereo was happy to oblige her, at least. Though she was very clear with it that she would ( Read more... )

Dante still wasn't in a good way. Like all the shit that had gone down last week wasn't bad enough, everything else was just-- upside down. It was making him restless for once, instead of despondent; and restless at work meant guitar time.

He was trying to reproduce the music from his lost record, between trying his hand at Combichrist songs. He ( Read more... )
