[It doesn't take Vin long to realize that the people she is seeing who look like Elend aren't really Elend. It wouldn't make sense for him to be here, after all. They are illusions - she understands later, a wish gone wrong. And anyway, most of them are walking around without a book in hand. Not him. The thought almost makes her smile.]

[But the first expression she gives the people who wear Elend's image is a dual flash of sorrow and joy, an incomprehensible twist of emotion that she'd much rather conceal. This, though, she can't control, and turns away as quickly as possible when she feels it creeping across her face.]

[She is in her cabin now, a large stone room expensively furnished, and looking annoyed. There is a pile of records in front of her, and in the background, Lunatic of God's Creation Is playing.]

This is ridiculous. I can't figure out how to make it stop.

Yes. Very.

But also no.

Do you want to see what I can do?

[adelphoktonos]

[Well, really, what other answer is there?]

Yes.

I think your upstairs neighbor might have something to say against that.

Do you see any speakers?

What did you see?

[this_corrosion]

Not my scene, really.

[megamind]

Well, me personally? No. I prefer my rock with a different weight to it. Less Cookie Monster growling and more rhythm and big hair. [ Megamind stop using references Vin has zero ability to understand ] Dance-- is usually don by thrashing about violently. Mosh pits -- which is more like dance-based combat than anything else -- are the name of the game for death metal concerts. Headbanging, throwing up the horns, all that good stuff you get at an AC/DC concert gets turned up to eleven at a death metal concert.

Why . . . big hair? Like a helmet?

My upstairs neighbor can ask the Admiral to fix it. He started this.

Speakers . . . no, there's nothing. Maybe it's coming from everywhere. [She hates this possibility.]

[indispensible]

Well, what is?

[She narrows her eyes. Nothing hurts worse than the truth.]

I thought I saw my husband.

[indispensible]

Will you come up on deck?

[megamind]

...with enough hair spray, maybe. Either way it really wouldn't be your scene.

[this_corrosion]

Goth rock. It's sort of a subset of afterpunk, I'll show you sometime.

[Arthas huffs and looks away, unable to keep eye contact.]

Don't let the ship mess with you.

[indispensible]

Show me now.

[Casual footstomp.]

[indispensible]

What's my 'scene'?

Spam

[indispensible]

Too late.

I wouldn't have brought it up if you hadn't asked, you know.

[adelphoktonos]

Yes. Now?

[indispensible]

Now. Right now.

[She likes showing off, so sue her.]

spam!

[adelphoktonos]

I'll go there.

[And lo, Helena makes her way up to the deck. Call her intrigued. She lives on the first floor, so she's there quickly.]

[megamind]

Uhm, the things you like. That's your 'scene'.

[this_corrosion]

I like your style.

One moment, where did I put- ?

[Gary digs a cassette out of a box that must contain dozens of them and peers at it.]

Yeah! Alright, this is the Sisters. I think I've rewound it. You're gonna like this.

[He presses play. Click.]

[He does look back, then, if only to glare.]

Yes, I do know. But you were looking at me.

[neverfeltbetter]

Go ahead then, just don't say I didn't warn you.

[If she wants to break the ceiling, he's not going to stop her.]

But, have you tried leaving the room and shutting the door to see if it will stop?

Hey, I'm not going to judge. Spiders weren't really my first choice of thing to get awesome superpowers from, I sympathize with your radioactive record player problem.
