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... )

Raven had spent her weekend in hiding. She didn't get any kids - or at least none of them had managed to find her - but Kathy had a small handful of them, so Raven had cleared out of the apartment and ended up on the preserve.

She liked the preserve. She'd made friends with an alot of space.

It'd been extremely tempting to just move in and ( Read more... )

So Raven had spent the weekend masquerading as a giant bunny. Why that had seemed the thing to do rather than, say, try to help wasn't something she was interested in looking too closely at ( Read more... )

After Saturday, Raven still wasn't much in the mood for music. But she was making an effort - a really enormous effort - not to turn into a literal couch potato, so she came into work anyway ( Read more... )

So after the world's hardest (and yet simultaneously most musical) conversation with Kathy earlier, Raven had decided that escape was the better part of valor and shifted into bird form to take to the skies ( Read more... )

The store got few enough customers that she figured it barely counted ( Read more... )

So the stereo today was playing a bunch of songs about snow.

Raven wouldn't mind so much if it would just at least pick a genre. . . .

[am working from home due to late season snow. Open!]

It took much longer than it should have for Raven to realize that today's music selection wasn't actually coming from the stereo. She figured it out, in fact, just in time to thicken her scales against the several sets of teeth that tried to sink into her calves.

She shook the gremlins off with a sigh. "I just survived most of a year in ( Read more... )

Raven never wore shirts anyway. Not real actual shirts ( Read more... )

Raven was in a much better mood at Groovy Tunes this week (not that that was hard), so she was perfectly happy to get into a long, drawn out argument with the stereo. It had decided not to play the entirety of any song, today. Some it skipped to the next track after only about 30 seconds. Some it would play all but the last few lines. Every single ( Read more... )
