might be easier if you start with something a little more specific and then work your way out.

like... what's your favorite song to wake up to?

[trini's always on the lookout for new music to add to her workout routine and this definitely qualifies as a contender. she adds it to her list after listening through.]

that's pretty good. it's not every day that i bump into someone who's a big music fan.

maybe i'll start sending weekly music questions to the city at large. Get a feel for people's tastes.

no? i'm the other way around, i guess - it surprises me when people don't listen to music.

that wouldn't be terrible, but what are you gonna do with that info?

yeah. but then again, i don't talk to too many people so...

It's just to get to know people. Why should I want to 'do' anything with it? It's just a question about music taste, not social security numbers.

why don't you?

uh... i've moved around a lot. it gets a little old being the new kid everywhere.

sometimes it's just easier to avoid it altogether. but i guess i don't get that luxury here, huh?

at least, we're all the new kids here. It's not like you're on your own and different from everybody else. Right?

Like, hi. I'm Baby. I'm fairly new here, too. Just got a job at the record store.

yeah. it's kind of funny how many people they've just gathered up.

[she's sure he gets it a lot but baby? really? rather than ask something that he no doubt has to deal with all the time, she just moves on with the intros.]

hi. i'm trini. i'm glad meeting you was less stressful than the last time i was introduced to a bunch of strangers.

and where's this record store?

what happened the last time you were introduced to a bunch of strangers? was it a bad party?

it's on the main street. called b-sides, can't miss it. you'll find me and Otis in there.
Visit anytime :)

we kind of got ourselves into a lot of trouble and ended up wrecking a minivan.
cool. i'll definitely stop by. otis? like otis redding?

oh. that sounds pretty similar to every time i've met strangers, myself. hazard of the job.

yeah, like otis redding. that's him

[ picture attached. ]

i didn't think working in a record store was supposed to be dangerous, but damn.

[trini's not one for extreme emotions but even she can't help but chinhands at the adorable pup that stares right back at her. thankfully her reply is a little less enthusiastic.]

he looks really happy. would it be okay to bring him a treat when i swing by?

i didn't used to work at a record store, back home

[ Baby, for himself, reaches out to pet Otis' head gently as he types with one hand. The dog is never very far from him these days. ]

if you do, make it something meaty. No sweets or chocolate or anything like that. But he'll love you forever for it. Hope you don't mind some drool...

that makes a lot more sense

[trini's curious about just what baby does back home, but maybe that's something for another day.]

maybe a bone or some pupperoni. i can't say i'm a drool fan but that's what soap's for.

[ Definitely not something for right now. ]

you'll definitely be his new best friend. he might try and go home with you

no matter how cute he is, i promise not to steal your dog.

thanks, I appreciate that

also there's a lot more looking to be adopted if you want one

yeah. i saw the info about the animal shelter the other day.
i'll probably check it out too.

so you're more of a dog person, or a cat person?

i'm honestly okay with either.
i've never actually had a pet though. so, what do you think is going to be the safer bet?

honestly I don't know, I've never had a cat. I think dogs require more effort, but the payoff is bigger. You should ask Clary and Kimberly, they have a cat
