[She's smoking, holed up in some kind of sad looking apartment, the only light appears to be coming from her screen and she's got the top two buttons open on her white collar shirt. And she seems a little irate.]

I feel like when you don't ask to get dragged into a place, being told you have to work for a living is just an extra slap in the face. But I'll bite. Mostly because while I, and a good portion of the world, wish we could subsist on cigarettes, my metabolism hasn't evolved that way just yet.

So while science catches up, rec me your favorite bands so I can write about how boring they are. Bonus points if there are flying birds on the album cover or massive font-based design failure. Don't send me links, I can use a search engine just fine. Part of the fun, seeing how much garbage I have to sift through before I actually find your best friend's roommate's sister's 'totally hip' sound.

You again?

[...ah. Right. Persephone said something about a prior run, which she of course has no memory of, but Luci can only assume she left a whole host of messes. She'd be disappointed if she hadn't.]

Me again. Bet you're thrilled, it's all over your face.

[ Hard to tell if it's a bluff, her memories buggered from the machines or if she's being flippant. He gives her a few cue cards, just in case. Who would he be without a decent antagonist, after all. ]

Mm, well, you wouldn't be the first First of the Fallen I've had to deal with, in this world or otherwise.

[ Though technically, his world's Lucifer hadn't been either. The Big Bloke had made another that came before, His first created man and the first banished. The pretty one had followed soon after and usurped the fiery basement apartment of Creation, until he abdicated the brimstone throne and went off on some daft attempt to find himself, leaving Hell in the charge of his big brother. Too much drama in that family, clearly. But at least his Lucifer had the decency to not want to be worshipped, unlike the brat before him. But he remembers the scar along his jawbone the previous version of her had left. And also the fact that exacting any wrath would still mean doing it to a child, and he does have rules. ]

Anyway, they didn't seem to have Bowie here before about a year ago. I fixed that.

God forbid you do something worthwhile.

I can see how it would be... Difficult for you.

[Boy what a night this is turning out to be. She grins though.]

It's like I'm turning over a new leaf. You should try it.

And deprive you all of a villain? No, I'm not that cruel.

You'll get bored.

Music critic.


Seriously?

Seriously.

[Wow it's like she's turned the assholic behavior off for her.]

I'll have to do something or I'll die. Literally. Nobody even fucking reads by lines.

You don't have to keep the job they give you, if it seems like it's gonna be that bad. There's people hiring around here all the time.

Mmmm... I think I should be offended. This is the first time in a long time that somebody's said I have a Customer Service Face.

I like that I can have a job here. I like the independence that comes with having my own money.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Bully for you. I had that before, doing a completely different thing that I was good at, and now I'm here not doing that thing. So it's a little annoying, you see?

[have a scruffy, Kurt Cobain lookin kid. instead of recommending "Nevermind," though, he says]

This is the internet. Someone's just going to tell you to look up Rick Astley. You'd be better off flipping through a Highlights magazine waiting for dangerous scientific epiphanies.

[nightmarist]

You had to go and fucking ruin it.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

I have great respect for the internet. It gives me things like this delightful conversation I'm watching right now.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Now you. You've got a sense of humor.

[So I can write about how boring they are got a laugh from him, Chilton can't even deny it.]

[stylistic_disloyalty]

And you sound like a pretty smart guy.

[Inanna, meanwhile, is lounging in a disgustingly opulent hotel suite, surrounded by satin and silk and crisp, rich purple and gold tones.]

Are you really sticking with the menial job they gave you? I'm surprised at you.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[Gdit Inanna. You turned that video feed on on purpose, tease.]

Look, you know an agent I can blow? Because I'll do it. You know I will. Shady Granny isn't returning my calls.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Out of curiousity, what kind of music do you like? I mean, wouldn't it be more fun to write about something you enjoy?

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[Huh. First time somebody's asked her that, she's happy to oblige though.]

What most people would call "the classics". The Beatles, David Bowie, Aerosmith, Queen... [Her parents' collection, if she's being honest.]

I don't know sweetie, I don't want my music taste to be judged. I'm from the mid-nineties.

But yeah, I hate my job too. But it's this or bein broke and that shit I do not tolerate.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

...Your circumstances are noted and mourned. Though that is definitely no excuse for not educating yourself on the finer things.

What unfortunate slog are you trapped in?

Asking ImPorts their favorite bands isn't going to do a lot of good when most of the media from our home universes doesn't exist on this Earth. I doubt this world has ever heard of the Aquabats or TMBG.

First-- how do you listen to that tripe, second one just barely redeems you for number one.

Second. Does everyone here just bury their head in the sand upon landing, or is it just you who doesn't attempt to have any sort of life? Did you just stop enjoying things, or...?
