He had finished cleaning and was just about ready to lock up, he looked at his phone for a moment as if it were gonna tell him something he didn't know, he had promised to help remodel her home, get a music room or something put in for her so she can listen to records. He would of course design something and help put in something nice for her, them. He had been thiinking about it, and had already several things put aside for her, some generic stuff that could work with whatever, but also some records. He made sure to have a mix ready for her, including Queen and The Monkey's and other bands she had mentioned she enjoyed, he was looking at a catalogue of items for sound proofing and making rooms more acoustic. He would make sure she had something that could make others jealous of. He was also thinking of things she said, mainly meeting Freddy. He's sure she wasn't lying, but she's...so young looking, and well he just had questions, mainly one based on things he's seen reported in newspapers. No not afraid, she was nice, but it didn't mean it wasn't what he was thinking it could be (06/29/24 05:06:11 pm) || Lancashire Keystone ||

..:Needle and Groove:.. .:Find Your Groove With Our Vintage Vinyl Records:. ..Chicago Downtown District.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to :: - Castle of Glass - :: A black range rover pulled up in front of the shoppe, the door opening to reveal her as she stepped out of the back seat. The front passenger side door opened allowing her a moment to speak with the driver and front seat passenger. A few moments later she gave a gesture of her hand behind her as if indicating the shop. Then she shook her head, glancing down the street before pointing to the west. Another moment passed and she stepped back allowing the door to close. After it moved off, she stood and watched after them for several seconds before turning her steps to the store.
She eyed the hours listed on the door then glanced inside through the door before opening it and stepping inside. The smell assailed her, paper and vinyl, plastics and coffee. It brought a smile to her face as she moved down one aisle and down another, pausing at the 'classical section'. She frowned, then flipped through some of the albums before moving to an adjacent row, to remove an album she'd not heard it...far too long.

It was then he looked up and saw the familiar blonde locks that he knew belonged to Colette a smile came to hi slips, happy to see who is slowly becoming his favorite customer Well, if I knew you were coming I may have put on something different He joked,. the song on right now was Black Whole Sun from the band Soundgarden, he enjoyed Chris Cornell's voice, it was something inique to him, a lot like Freddy, in some ways, a voice that was unmistakable and not one that can be duplicated How can I help you today (06/29/24 05:46:24 pm) || Lancashire Keystone ||

She tucked the album beneath her arm, turning towards the counter as she heard him speak. "Did you know there is an old song that says something simiiar. If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake.." she chuckled at that as she rounded the aisle, bypassed another and made her way to the counter to pace the album on the counter. "I want to buy this," she said in a purely professional tone as if she were simply only a customer.
She turned the album towards him so he could read the title. "Madama Butterfly", . "By Puccini," she said as if he had not read the name on the sleeve. "One of my favorites, it's a beautiful story and like all Italian operas....so tragic." she smiled at her words, as if tragedy was something to smile about. It wasn't but it was a beautiful opera inspite of that. (06/29/24 06:05:23 pm) :: - Castle of Glass - ::

..:Needle and Groove:.. .:Find Your Groove With Our Vintage Vinyl Records:. ..Chicago Downtown District.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to || Lancashire Keystone : He watched you as you were walking through and heard you say that as he would chuckle I may have heard that, but not familiar with it He said, a smile on his lips. He watched you move along and then to him at the counter, hearing you wanting to buy this, now he wasn't bout to keep giving you albums for free, but he also was willing to work deals for those he liked and knew. He took a look at it and saw the title as he heard you It's a beautiful opera, tragic but beautiful He may surprise you with what he knows, not that he knows a lot of Opera, but Madame Butterfly was one of the more well known, he liked Musicals, so Opera wasn't...much different but it wasn't his taste in the end, he did like some though. He would nod So I can do this one of two ways since I am going to put together this room for you, I can give this to you and include it in the price of the overall job I am doing, same with any album that you wish to purchase.... He said. He would be getting paid, but you would get the album whenever you wanted. He would hand it back to you with a smile. His eyes on yours, she'd be able to see he was happy to see her return.

..:Needle and Groove:.. .:Find Your Groove With Our Vintage Vinyl Records:. ..Chicago Downtown District.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to :: - Castle of Glass - :: "It's been in a few movies," she replied though she doubted he would have seen them. His mentioning of tragic made her smile grow even more. "oh, yes. but...life is tragic why should opera not be?" a bit of a thoughtful question that emerged at times. "I always felt so sorry for her. ....such...a...it was so beautiful, the pathos in her voice as she sang, the look of her body as she killed herself. " Another thoughtful look entered her eyes, as if she were reviewing a memory. For indeed she was having been there for the first showing of the opera at La Scala.
Breathing in she gave a sight shudder and closed her eyes as she pace a hand on her breast. Breathing in again as if hearing the music before opening her eyes. "hmmm...so wonderful," before smiling up at him and kipping he head slightly to the side as she heard his 'offer'.
"Might you need some cash to ensure you make your....." with a look around the shop and a recognition of the music playing. "ovehead..." she questioned lightly. She certainly could just put it on her tab but she didnt' want him to loose electricity or the shop because he needed the money. (06/29/24 06:38:58 pm) :: - Castle of Glass - ::

..:Needle and Groove:.. .:Find Your Groove With Our Vintage Vinyl Records:. ..Chicago Downtown District.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to || Lancashire Keystone : He listened to her as he saw her smile more as she responded and he would allow a brow to rise some, he didn't always see life as tragic. He would listen to you as he shrugged They say art imitates life, or is it reverse? He chuckled, he didn't always see that either but he understood. He listened as you spoke of Madame Butterfly and the story. He would nodded some. He was watching you, as if you were reviewing a memory. He would see the shudder, his head tilting before as you listened to her responder to him. He watched you as you reacted. He would tilt his own head and he spoke I will not turn down money if you are offering to pay up front, I however am not suffering, at the moment and can afford to wait for payment on one more record.... It was completely honest I was just about to lock up for the evening anyways so He shrugged, truthfully he counted the drawer, not that another few bucks would be a problem, he also woudln't care for now if he waited for one more record. Did you have a ride? He didn't see the car drop you off and wasn't sure if you had a set ride back home, he was offering of course, but all the same, he would wait. He wouldn't mind spending some time with you besides, he had nothing going ontonight, no shows to attend and well a quiet night, he probably would of ended up at a club anyways (06/29/24 06:45:14 pm) || Lancashire Keystone ||

No sense making extra work when it's not ..necessary."
She couldn't help but let her smile grow a bit more. "Besides, if I pay for it tomorrow, I have a reason to pop on by, don't you think?" with a light laugh but his question had her looking back at the front of the window and out to the street. "Oh,I took a ride. We have errands to do and I reallly didn't feel like driving." she admitted
It was on thing to drive in Chicago, it was another to drive along a long country lane. Oh, how she missed home. "Driving here is a bit of a hassle," she frowned slightly at her own words. (06/29/24 06:59:57 pm) :: - Castle of Glass - ::

..:Needle and Groove:.. .:Find Your Groove With Our Vintage Vinyl Records:. ..Chicago Downtown District.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to || Lancashire Keystone : He would listen to you shaking his head Already counted, so paying tomorrow would be better, course, that is if you want to come all the way down here just to pay for the record It was a tease, of course he knew there was more reason to have you come down here, he was growing accustomed to seeing you around and any excuse for more well....time to see you he would be happy to come up with. He did enjoy the laugh seeing you look back and he would nod I can understand He did as he would shrug If you give me, a minute, do you want to take a walk or...something? He asked, not sure what to offer, he wasn't hungry but if you were he'd be happy to accompany you to get food. He would watch you as he would move to finish packing up the stufff at the register and soon he was ready grabbing his coat, only cause it was well windy out, though warm he liked a jacket to help out. He would move to the door though not opening yet Unless you need to get back home or something His voice soft, almost a hint of hopefulness that you'd want to spend more time with him. His lips kept up in a nice smile (06/29/24 07:08:06 pm) || Lancashire Keystone ||

..:Needle and Groove:.. .:Find Your Groove With Our Vintage Vinyl Records:. ..Chicago Downtown District.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to :: - Castle of Glass - :: "oh I'm not needed until they get the errands done," she answered a bit blithely. "A walk sounds wonderful, " she readily agreed. Stepping back, she watched as he retrieved a coat then kept pace with him as he led the way to the door. It was dark, the night life having reached a pause in the night. with less traffic than might be expected. "Which way to you wish to go?" she aske as she looked to the left and right. "Is there anything to do in this part of town at night?"
She had plenty to do at the house, indeed she had her schedule planned out from about midnight onward. She was determined, however, to enjoy these hours as she could. A walk was just the beginning.

..:Needle and Groove:.. .:Find Your Groove With Our Vintage Vinyl Records:. ..Chicago Downtown District.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to || Lancashire Keystone : He would hear you as you spoke of not being needed, and wondered a moment he nodded some as he would move to the door, the night life reached a slight pause, but he enjoyed this time of night, having hung out at night clubs and he shrugged some looking left and right as he murmured It doesn't matter to me He laughed he actually moved and would just go left, habit perhaps, not that either way was gonna lead anywheres more exciting, just downtow passed the closing store fronts or restaurants that had people sitting in them, or the occasional bar. He would shrug softly Usually I spend my time in the store, or a night club, I am pretty...one dimensional He said with a slight laugh as he said that. He would have somethings on his mind, but for now he kept the conversation light What do you enjoy to do? Besides hang around music stores He was teasing of course, he of course was glad you stop by and he'd never complain once that you were there. He was liking you being around and it showed wi th how his face kept that smile on his lips. Even if he thought you were what he thought, you didn't seem to want to hurt him, or perhaps this was part of your charm, but either way he felt safe to be open around you and a walk in this night air was a nice way to keep occupied for now (06/29/24 07:41:17 pm) || Lancashire Keystone ||

..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to :: - Castle of Glass - :: The traffic being lighter than just a hour before provided a half clear view of the street. "I guess we're going left," she chucked as she tucked her arm with his and modifying her stride to keep step to step pacing with him. "I hardly think you're one dimensional," she gently chided him. "Anyone with such a music store is not one dimensional. " She could hardly think it possible. What did she like to do? That question reverberated in her mind for several long moments. "Arts, music, fighting." she shrugged a bit, she couldn't remember a time when she was actually asked what she liked. Years ago? Well, it wasn't worth trying to remember. She laughed softly, "stopping into music stores," she chuckled again, smiling as he did before watching forward as they walked. "I spend so much time working with house and property that I really don't think of spare time. It's rare enough," she chuckled again. (06/29/24 07:59:18 pm) :: - Castle of Glass - ::

He didn't really care. He would hear you chide him about his comment and he laughed as he murmured I Feel it sometimes He shrgged. He would enjoy the feel of you close as you spoke on it. He was laughing with you at your comment of going to music stores. Fighting? Like Boxing or MMA? h was curious. He would move along listening to you unsure what to do for the night, perhaps seeing whre it would take us. for now. e would gaze down at you as they walked, enjoyiing ithe night air. He would murmur Do yopu mind if I ask a bit of a personal question?

Grappling, Greco Roman...swordfighting, a little bit of everything." she shrugged slightly. "Sometimes it's just to blow off steam, so w don't really have anything particular." she wasnt' sure what MMA was, but upon checking it out later would discover they did so a bit of that.
"A personal question.?" she pause enough to look up at him. "Of course, what is it?" an innocent manner about her and upon her expression.

..:Street:.. ..Chicago's Alleys and Streets.. .City of Chicago, IL. says to || Lancashire Keystone : He listened to her feeling the pat to his hand with her own as he would ponder for a moment listening t you speak of wrestling, sword fighting, he would listen to you speak on it. He wouldn't know she'd not know of MMA of course, though figuring out what she was, well perhaps he'd of guess the older styles she was accustomed to. Hearing the pause almost and seeing the look, it almost caused him to not want to ask, but he would take a moment to best get to this he murmured for a moment Last time we talked, you mentioned meeting and knowing Freddy Mercury, and Mary and well He would for the moment, turn to face you for a moment, almost walking backwards, unless you stopped You look awfully good for someone who would be old enough to have met and remembered conversations with him He said softly his thought process playing out for her, his voice was more curious than anythying, no fear in it at the moment, the pause that was in the air for his question almost asked ou without asking you simply Are you a vampire, like ones that I've read about in the papers? He was wtaching, no hing of fear or even trepidation from him now (06/29/24 08:26:10 pm) || Lancashire Keystone ||

"I...see...so, it's come to that then," the words spoken more for herself than it was for him. She searched his eyes with her own gaze for several long moments though but for the movement of her eyes, she remained quietly still
"Am I like what you've read in the papers? for that I don't know. I'm not sure what you've read or what you believe. But....for what it is worth, am I a vampire? Yes."
