If you had to pick one, what would be your very favorite song?

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?

[killertrack]

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.

[amarillos]

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?

[killertrack]

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 :)

[amarillos]

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?

[killertrack]

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. ]

[amarillos]

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?

[killertrack]

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...

[amarillos]

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.

[killertrack]

[ Definitely not something for right now. ]

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

[amarillos]

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

[killertrack]

thanks, I appreciate that

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

[amarillos]

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

[killertrack]

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

[amarillos]

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?

[killertrack]

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
