New clothes were bliss. Music outside her own head was bliss. Waking up in a warm bed that didn't have bugs and being able to take a hot shower was absolute bliss. And the best part was that most of them time, they were completely alone here while everyone else worked things out. When she'd woken up, she'd gone through the notes the others had left, put away the mess Andy had left and aired the room out from smoke, then went down into the common room to crank the music.

She danced cheerily as she sang, a hairbrush held up like a microphone as she belted out the lyrics to a favorite pop song, her voice soaring with the music, letting it override the noise inside her mind. Loud as it was, she didn't hear when the door opened, and someone else came in.

"Let's take our passion into the night... Since our love shines brighter than the sun-un-un..." Ganesh picked up the tune, singing quietly. He wasn't actually sure those were the lyrics but they were close enough. He could rarely pick out one tune from another. He glanced at the woman, eyeballing her for a moment before leaning back against the wall with a grin. "Who is that by?"

	Char turned, laughing to see... oh hell, she couldn't remember his name or find it in notes. "Lyra Faith," she said. "Latest song off of her third album. It's catchy, isn't it? I like the runs at the end of it; good vocal practice for me. Am I playing it too loud for you? I didn't realize anyone else was around." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Vocal practice?" He quirked an eyebrow at her. "Are you a singer?"

Ganesh walked into the room, his step light in tune with the music. "Am I close on the words? It's bloody difficult to get them all--she sings so fast. That's not the one they play on KNDD all the time, is it?" Chatter was easy for him. He often overloaded on it, if asked, due to the solitary nature of his work.

"I would be if I weren't stuck here," she said with a faint, brief scowl. "It's what I was going to school for."

She swayed a bit to the music, catching a phrase and singing along before grinning. "You're close enough. I could look up the lyrics and tell you for sure, but I don't usually bother. And I don't know about it coming over the air. This," she pointed at the stereo, "is bliss, having it outside my head. I don't have this one in here," she tapped her temple, "and it's nice to hear different things. But usually I just use what's stuck here, or I could go out and stream it, but then people get cranky if I interrupt the news feeds."

	He blinked. "What do you mean, outside of your head?" Then Ganesh shook his own. "I've bloody well forgotten my manners." He offered her his hand. "Ganesh. A pleasure to meet you. That is, if I haven't done. I can be terrible with names." He honestly didn't remember this woman, however. For that matter, there hadn't been many women in the room at all.

	He paused. Something wasn't quite right here. "I had thought, from what you said, that you were Mickey's girlfriend." The tone clearly added But I was wrong without saying as much. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Char laughed. "That would be incredibly difficult, considering we share living space. As in, tomorrow, if I'm unlucky, I might wake up as him. Somedays it's a complete crap shoot who gets the body." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Friends," he agreed. "And I'll promise not to sing." Ganesh swung a little harder, pushing himself off the table. "How often are you around?" He wondered what that was like, particularly if you thought one part of yourself was suicidal. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	She made a face. "It depends. I could be here for a few days, or I could wake up someone else tomorrow. It's complicated how it works out, and sometimes fairly random. I'm trying to organize things, but it's hard... it's a total mess in here," she tapped the side of her head. "And not everyone is sane, coherent, or reasonable." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
