[ natasha sounds so transparently irritated. the tap tap tap of her fingers against the comm are in time to the song blaring in the background, despite her obvious disapproval. ]

Well, isn't this annoying.

[godofabs]

[he can't hear you, so to add onto her own problems, she has thor screaming above both their music.]

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY, NATASHA?

[duplicities]

[ oh dear god TURNING THE VOLUME SO FAR DOWN. ]

Stop yelling, Thor.

[godofabs]

WHAT? I CANNOT HEAR YOU.

[duplicities]

[ oh dear god SWITCHING TO TEXT. ]

I said stop yelling, please.

[godofabs]

[give him a second, okay.]

I AM VERY SORRY NATASHA I COULD NOT HEAR YOU OVER MY OWN MUSIC

[duplicities]

It is alright, Thor. It's not your fault.

(TEXT)

[godofabs]

THOUGH NOTHING HAS BEEN BEEN DISTURBING YOU APART FROM THIS

[duplicities]

Most of the people here have some sort of music playing.

[godofabs]

NOT QUITE AS LOUD AS MINE, I HOPE

[duplicities]

It isn;t at the moment. But it may be later on.

[godofabs]

[he kind of ragequit ):]

[child_radical]

It could always be worse, you could be stuck with Rick Astley for the duration of the day.

[duplicities]

Are you stuck with Rick Astley?

[child_radical]

No, I actually got something that sounds like it came from a fighting game. Fitting since I was actually involved in a fight.

[duplicities]

Perhaps I should see if this changes if I get into a fight. It's only gone through different classical pieces.

[child_radical]

Hang around the arcade, that's where I met the three morons that attacked me.

[duplicities]

I think I'm too old to be hanging around an arcade.

[skintoskin]

What the hell are you listening to?

[duplicities]

It's called The Swan.

[skintoskin]

It sounds like 'The Dying'...

[duplicities]

It is.

[ smart kid. ]

[skintoskin]

You said it was 'The Swan'. Which one is it?

[Lucky guess...]

[duplicities]

The Dying Swan. It's a popular ballet accompaniement.

[skintoskin]

Oh. Well, that explains it. I don't know anything about ballet. Why is it so loud?

[duplicities]

It's called the crescendo. Typically it tends to get a bit loud.

[skintoskin]

[He can't hear you over the 'croaking bird' music...]

What?

[duplicities]

[ oh for pete's sake. gently switches to text. ]

It's called a crescendo.

text; rl ate me, sorry...

[skintoskin]

[Text. Crap. He's not good with this tyext shit...]

a what?? dos thatmeanits loud?

[intheblanks]

I thought you were a fan of the ballet.

[duplicities]

I do.

But it does interfere somewhat with my ability to go about my business.

[ hard to be stealthy with a soundtrack, bro. ]

[intheblanks]

Half the city's operating their own soft rock stations. You'll barely be heard.

[duplicities]

Such an optimist, Dr. Chase.

[signatures]

I think it's quite nice.

[duplicities]

In small doses, yes, I suppose.

[signatures]

Less-so for the same one repeating, granted.

[duplicities]

It doesn't repeat. There'll be something different next, I imagine.

[signatures]

Lucky for you.

[ Less so for him... ]

[duplicities]

More of the same, if the morning is any indication of how the afternoon will play out.

[ all classical pieces sigh her life. ]

Voice>Text

[threeolives]

[ As soon as she sees Natasha's name, this starts playing. Realizing soon enough that both songs combined are going to be annoyingly headache-inducing, she switches to text. ]

Your subconscious at least seems to have better taste than mine.

[duplicities]

Small miracles, apparently.
