[The video pops to life on a very good-looking young lady with purple eyes. She seems a bit befuddled.]I'm not quite sure what this network is or how it got on my phone. I was looking for Craigslist, but all I can find is the cached stuff, which really isn't all that useful. Maybe it would be more useful if I knew where I was right now, but, see

You particularly fond of cellars, then?

[diana_abel]

Not sure how I feel about a place without a good lock, but I suppose that squatting will do in a pinch.

Next question, and this one is hugely important: What kind of music scene do they have around here?

[idolstolemylook]

Fair. I mean, it's not New York in 1977 or anything, but can probably find what you're lookin' for.

[diana_abel]

Please tell me you don't like disco. It would put an extreme damper on our relationship.

[idolstolemylook]

[Have some aghast silence.]

Right. Turnin' this thing off now.

[diana_abel]

[Diana giggles.]

I'd be surprised.

[idolstolemylook]

Do I look like a sodding disco fan?

[diana_abel]

Always the first thing I think of when you mention music in the 1970s.

[Diana pauses, giving him an appraising look with her lovely, lavender eyes.]

I read you as more of an Ozzy fan. Before he sold out to make the reality TV show. Maybe some Santana, although you'd never admit to liking that Woodstock, hippie crap. And, of course, Idol.

[Spike's eyes narrow.]

I'll admit to Black Sabbath. But don't give me Idol--could've sued him for... well I don't know what for but he's the imitator. An' for your information, I was at Woodstock. Liked CBGB's better, though.

[diana_abel]

[Diana looks delighted.]

I was at Woodstock too! Janis did one of my songs!

[idolstolemylook]

On of... what?

[Spike just looks disbelieving.]

[diana_abel]

Janis? Joplin. She sang one of my songs at Woodstock.

[idolstolemylook]

You wrote a Joplin tune.

[diana_abel]

Several, actually. That's my day job. Well...night job, I guess. Songwriter. Since the early twentieth century, actually. Before that, I mostly just lived off family money.

[idolstolemylook]

Huh. [Totally deadpan.] You know, most can't make that leap.

[diana_abel]

[She waggles her eyebrows.]

Secretly impressed?
