[ It's early in the morning when Ariadne makes her network post and she's obviously still tired, nursing a cup of coffee. The reason she's awake might be obvious -- in the background, even though there are no speakers anywhere nearby, a song is playing. ]

You know, I've never heard this song before in my life.

[ There's a pause so she can yawn into her cup of coffee. ]

But I think I like it. I'd like it even more if it didn't wake me up, though.

That is some weird shit.

[boutant]

[ Just as Ariadne's opening her mouth to reply, the music changes. ]

... I think that's a little weirder.

[whitetwoguns]

[Electronic noise and then...country?]

You got a radio going haywire or something.

[Observation right there. Heh.]

[yourbestguysgun]

Any of your animals started tryin' to sing along yet? 'Cause from the way Crepe's growling I think she's about to start learnin' swing.

[boutant]

Not yet, but I think most of them are asleep. Biscuit just looked very confused and then hid under my bed.

[ More coffee. Urgh. Oh, and the song's changed. ]

Waffle will probably start picking up words, though.

[yourbestguysgun]

Hey, a singing bird, you two could join the circus.

[invisibilities]

I like that song.

[ simon's moved on from showtunes to this. ]

[boutant]

Have you heard it before?

[ His gets a smile from her, even if... she doesn't know why it's playing for him. For now, her song is staying the same -- maybe because Simon said he liked it. ]

I like yours, too.

[invisibilities]

Not that one. But I listened to things like it at home.

[ and simon's song peters out and changes after a few minutes. ]

[aperfectthird]

It is a somewhat ungodly time to be listening to music so loudly.

[Yep, he's awake, too - no music, though, just a cup of coffee as well.]

[boutant]

I'm not doing it on purpose.

[ There's a rub of her temples... and then a groan as the music switches. ]

[aperfectthird]

[The picture jiggles for a moment as he flies to turn it down, because it is ass o'clock in the morning (that's the scientific term) and that music is loud.]

You've no control over the volume, either, then?

[totallyinaband]

Sounds trippy, man.

[boutant]

It does, doesn't it? It's not the sort of thing I usually listen to, but it's catchy.

[totallyinaband]

Good background music, for if you were like, jogging or something.

[freedrinkplease]

.....There be music on you, foxy.

[ Pig is most observant person in the universe, apparently. ]

[boutant]

[ On the bright side, she can tell just by the way he's speaking that this is definitely not Fischer or Raymond. Still, 'foxy' takes her a bit off-guard, and she blinks at him for a moment. ]

Yeah, it's probably a curse.

[ As if to demonstrate... ]

[freedrinkplease]

The curse things.

[ Pig wrinkles his nose. ]

Always happen to you, foxy?

[skintoskin]

[He's trying to think of something to say, because he knows this person, but the music is too bizarre for him to form words.]

[boutant]

Hi Neil.

[ The music changes to say hello and everything. ]

[skintoskin]

Uh... Hi, Ari-idna? Shit, I got that wrong, didn't I?

[onlyholey]

It's not bad, actually. What do you lot call this?

[boutant]

I have no idea. Techno... electronica... trace... dance music. [ Handwave. ] I've never been great at telling the difference.

[ As if trying to be 'helpful', the music changes. Ariadne winces and proceeds to do a credibly imitation of someone attempting to drown in their coffee mug. ]

[godofabs]

WHAT IS GOING ON ARIADNE

[boutant]

[ As tempting as it is to switch to text, her music just switched to this and something tells her Thor might appreciate it. ]

I'm pretty sure it's a curse.
