Groovy Tunes, Friday

Second shift. Still too freaking early; Dante had rolled out of bed, thrown on some clothes, and blearily marched over here with a cup of something that was more sugar than anything else. Whatever weirdness was happening on the island hadn't become obvious to him yet - he hadn't talked to anyone.

Well, he hadn't noticed the weirdness happening to

After her class had finished, Isabela found herself in the doorway of the shop. "Dante, it's been far too long since we've had sex!" Beat. "Huh, usually I'm not that blunt."

Working up to things with innuendo was fun.

"Sorry, my brain's been kinda busy. I don't like it," Dante said.

Pause.

"Huh."

[goodforsix]

"I have been worried about you, but I'm not good with that kind of thing even if you did want to talk about it, so focusing on the sex seemed better."

Well, shit.

"Fuck, the island's being weird and uncomfortable again."

Dante liked to keep his response more concise.

Which was to say...

"What the fuck?"

Rule 53 in Roscoe's rules of flirting: when you got invited to bug a guy at work and listen to his music, you said yes. That was just how it went.

He strolled in around early afternoon, took note of the music, and announced, "This song is fucking depressing."

Well. That was more blunt than he had meant to be. Normally he'd just make a joke.

[[SP?]]

[rebelseekspizza]

"It's all the stupid stereo wants to play. I think this place is haunted," Dante said.

And then pulled a face. Not because he'd said anything weird, mind you, but because talking to anyone was a terrible idea today.

[[ SP is good! ]]

"Oh, it better not be. I hate being scared," Roscoe said at once.

He frowned. That was weird.

[rebelseekspizza]

"I don't think most people love that," Dante said. He eyed the stereo again. "Don't think I'm going to be playing any samples for you today, which sucks. I coulda used the distraction."

Ezra had no idea anything weird was happening or that he should've been here in a ping days ago. He was merely bored as he traipsed in.

"Hello there."

[rebelseekspizza]

After the past two conversations, Dante was absolutely fucking sure something weird was going on, but stubbornness compelled him not to make a run for it.

He'd just tugged the stereo's power cord out when Ezra came in. Looked over his shoulder.

"Hey, Ez. What's up?"

If Ezra was here for a hook-up, too, Dante was giving up.

[smilestopscars]

"Just thought I'd drop by to see how weird things are now."

That was not what he'd meant to say. He paused, and looked quizzical, ever so briefly.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Really weird," Dante said, "But at least half just because the island's being a fucking asshole right now."

At least that was true?
