Ever since Claudia had discovered the laptop on her porch, she'd been listening non stop to the music that was on it. She'd been so excited to actually have her own music AND she was even excited over the dumb games that came with it. Minesweeper, Solitaire and FreeCell (which she actually hated, but hey! She so wasn't going to be complaining about ( Read more... )

I grinned as I saw Claudia very clearly enjoying the music. "You look happy," I said.

groovytechchick January 17 2011, 13:42:01 UTC

Opening her eyes, Claudia grinned at Polly. "Hey, it's Bowie! What's not to be happy about that?"

polly_okeefe January 17 2011, 21:44:54 UTC

I'd heard of David Bowie, and the music sounded good. I wasn't as enthusiastic as Claudia, but I wondered if anybody could be. Still, it made me happy to see her happy. I nodded at her laptop. "Something from home, or did that just materialize in the, oh, last couple of weeks?"

groovytechchick January 17 2011, 22:01:32 UTC

Looking back at her laptop, Claudia shrugged. "I wish it was from home, but it's not. It just showed up on my porch one day. Which from what I understand happens sometimes?" She grinned again. "But it's totally kick ass. It's got all sorts of music on it. Zeppelin, and The Killers and Nirvana to just name a few.

It had taken some work, but by that afternoon (it would've been earlier had it not been for ITF training) Sonya was proud to think that she'd finally had this 'Ipod' thing down. Not that it was that hard, the symbols were still the same, it just took awhile for her to get used to how it worked. She was still from a time when CD players were just becoming common and a lot of the music she listened to was still on casette, but now she was given a device that had all of her collection on one device.

Said device was strapped to a band around her arm while she was headed to the compound and listening to Aerosmith before coming across a young woman singing to whatever she was listening to. Stopping the music on her own device, Sonya paused to listen to the lyrics, frowning a little as she tried to recognize them. It turned to a grin when she finally remembered.

"Bowie fan, eh?"

groovytechchick January 17 2011, 21:59:24 UTC

Looking up at her laptop with a grin, Claudia suddenly froze, her response quickly fading away before she'd even begun to say it. Holy Crap!!!!!!!! Sonya Blade was standing right in front of her... TALKING to her.

She had to force herself to breath and to smile. And talk. Sonya had totally just asked her a question. "Oh... Oh yeah," Claudia said with a cheesy grin (she couldn't help it! Sonya Blade!). "Bowie's friggin awesome and then some!"

lt_blade January 17 2011, 23:10:20 UTC

Okay..Sonya wasn't sure if she should start exchanging music titles or start performing CPR-because for a moment it looked like she was struggling not to hyperventilate.

"I think he was the only reason I let my bunkmate talk me into watching Labyrinth with her." Mika was more into things like faeries and other such tales, a secret she only let out to her friends. When she managed to sneak in a VHS of the movie-it was only by that detail that Sonya agreed to keep it a secret: because 'hello' it was David Bowie in tights.

ooc: *shakes fist at LJ* damn you and your late notifs*

groovytechchick January 18 2011, 08:39:42 UTC

Claudia couldn't stop her eyes from widening as Sonya shared information with her. Sonya Blade was talking to her about David Bowie! It was totally beyond AWESOME! She drew in a deep breath and nodded her head. "Oh Labyrinth is totally one of my favorite movies. That and The Goonies, but any movie with Bowie in it is instantly epic."

Rachel was sticking close to the center of the Island today, Mondays being one of the days where she had three classes and she didn't want to risk being late to any of them, so she was hanging around the compound when she heard a familiar voice. A very familiar voice. Like, familiar in that creepy way your own voice is when you hear it played back to you.

And it was singing David Bowie. No that she had anything against the guy, it just added to the strangeness. Because she was certain she'd never sang aloud to Bowie in her life. And even more certain that she'd never been recorded. Pushing the book she was reading into her bag, she followed the sound around a corner...

...and stared. And then stared some more. Aside from the lack of facial markings and a streak of color she was certain she didn't have, the girl sitting under the tree could be Rachel's sister. Twin sister. Or as was more common in her family, a clone.

Please don't be evil, was the closest to a coherent thought Rachel could manage.

groovytechchick January 17 2011, 22:03:55 UTC

Still singing along with the music, it took Claudia a few minutes to realize that someone was there staring at her. Lifting her gaze from the monitor, her mouth dropped open as she stared at someone who could have been her mirror image!!!!

Setting her laptop on the ground, Claudia slowly rose to her feet, still openly staring at the other girl. "Holy crap...."

starchilde_lost January 17 2011, 22:26:13 UTC

Rachel couldn't help it, she looked the other girl up and down. And then up and down again. There were slight differences, she looked like she might be a little younger, she obviously didn't have Ahab's tattoos across her face and probably not a deathmark on her back. But everything else...

"What's your name?" It was the easiest question. If she said Rachel, mystery solved, the island's time bending ways simple brought two of her here. If not, the checklist moved from there... parent's names for the long-lost twin thing, no parents or fake parents for the clone.

She still had the urge to ask her if she was evil.

groovytechchick January 18 2011, 08:42:13 UTC

Claudia leaned in a little, her gaze washing over her look-a-like's face. OK, so she had tattoos and a few other difference, but seriously? The chick totally could have been her twin! It was a little beyond freaky, and that was saying a lot since she was use to freaky.

"Claudia. What's yours?" She leaned back, still eyeing the girl.

Of course Claudia noticed the T-board and was in fact staring at it, wondering how it worked. Her gaze shot up to Zell though and she grinned, stretching her legs out infront of her. "Hey Zell! Not much, just listening to some Bowie." She glanced over at the T-board and then back to her friend. "Dude, that is seriously sweet."

groovytechchick January 18 2011, 16:46:01 UTC

"Awesome!" Claudia laughed, looking at the board again. "I got this laptop from the island. It's got some cheesy games on it. But otherwise? Dude, it's loaded with all sorts of music. Oh, man, it's so awesome."

Scrolling through her playlist, she double clicked on another Bowie song, well a Bowie and Mick Jagger one Dancing in the Street. "Yup, David Bowie. He's a rock God. When I die all the music for funeral is going to be Bowie music," she informed him seriously. Not that she had any plans on dying anytime soon, but she still had the plan.

"You're doin pretty good with learnin' about Earth stuff. What other music do you know?"

Seifer thought things were beginning to look up. The Island was warmer for a start and he had a place on the IPD ready and waiting for him, once he'd done some stupid 'training' anyway, which he could probably do in his sleep. Then he'd actually be able to get things done again.

Still, no matter how optimistic he felt, there were limits as to how good his mood ever was.

"Keep it down, will ya!" he shouted at the girl singing when he walked past her.

groovytechchick January 19 2011, 15:44:58 UTC

"HEY! I'M OUTSIDE!" She shouted back at the guy, barely looking up from her laptop. To make her point, she changed the song to Violet by Hole and made sure she was singing along with it as loudly as she possibly could without sounding like complete crap.

"And the sky was made of amethyst
And all the stars look just like little fish
You should learn when to go
You should learn how to say no"

noblerworld January 19 2011, 15:54:20 UTC

Life was too freaking short for this crap, Seifer thought. Once he was a full member of the IPD, this was exactly the sort of thing he'd crack down on.

He rolled his eyes once but he wasn't willing to walk away just yet. He always lent against the compound wall just here, it let him watch the passers by.

"What's the matter? Trying to scare off some crows?"

groovytechchick January 19 2011, 17:36:39 UTC

Rolling her eyes, Claudia glared over at the guy. "Dude, seriously! What crawled up your b-" she faltered for a moment, her eyes widening when she saw who she was looking at. Holy Crap. Seifer. This was just crazy awesome! "Butt," she finished, though now she was smiling and actually trying not to laugh.
