Rouge Remika was standing in a music store, looking around for some more of this gaian stuff. Tison music was odd so she needed to find some music from this world to figure out more about it. Her son Diyaka was standing next to her, holding her gorgon child Demetra. Demi was listening to some of the music as well. She seemed to like Rock a lot. Dia was more into pop. And Rouge was just trying to figure out what she liked and what she didn't.

Lately, the sidhe had the incredible urge to go back home (or what was previously her home) and play her precious harp. Two sides battled it out - why could she not be in touch with her Gaelic roots? Why did she have to reject all that she was?
Because she didn't want to go down that path again. The two sides warred until they met a compromise. Coailiann was quite pleased with her decision - a guitar. She would still play her folk music as well as other types. On a guitar. And while she still very much wanted her harp she wouldn't touch it.
Kay stepped into a local music store in Durem, ignoring everyone in the building and making a beeline for the guitars. She couldn't afford one yet but at least she could find one she liked and make a note of the price.
That chinese-style dress she bought had cost her all her money and then some. Sad thing was...she hadn't even worn it yet. There had been no occasion to wear such a fancy thing.

Demetra noticed Kay's wings nearby and pointed at them. "Gya!" the girl said. Pretty!
Rouge looked up and saw a young woman who resembled a little girl she had met at HQ long before. "Hallo there." she said cheerfully. Well it WAS possible the the girl had grown, but she'd changed a TON.
Diyaka poked his head out, looking to see what the three were looking at. "OOOH! Such pretty wings! They're like Sasha's!"

...Why were people trying to talk to her? She turned around, quite prepared to give them a withering look that would make them back off (mostly due to the fact there was a baby there and she'd grown quite annoyed with them) when she recognized the woman.
....Well, s**t.
"Hello." Maybe the woman didn't recognize her. She'd cropped her hair, dyed the tips pink, and was currently dressed in a pair of hip hugger blue jeans and a nicely fitting tube top of bright, electric green. She looked like a watermelon - but a very nice watermelon.
At the compliment to her wings though, she fluttered her wings, "They are pretty, aren't they?"

Diyaka nodded happily. "Can you fly with them."
Now getting a front view of the girl Rouge was posative that it was the same one. "You're Kay aren't you?" she asked. The girl had gone through a ton during that time and now she was a teenager, that had to be crazy. Her hair looked better though.
The baby giggled at the funny girl. She had a silly colored top on. Demi's curls bounced as she moved, looking more like snakes then ever. The funny rounded tips on the end of her curls looked like heads and they moved differently from normal curls when she moved her hair.

"No, not yet." She answered and was about to turn around and browse the precious guitars again when Rouge asked her that question. Ahh! To lie or not to lie was the question?
She scowled, "Yes." One word answer. Kay turned away from the space pirate and crouched down beside a pretty electric guitar, experimentally strumming it with her delicate fingers.

The woman nodded. "So I figured." she turned back to the CDs.
Diyaka meanwhile was interested in looking at the guitar too. It was pretty too and seemed to make that one sound he liked. "Do you know how to play?" he asked her, looking at the instrument.
The baby was poking it. She wanted one! Demetra would have started crying for it if Rouge hadn't walked over to pick her up and play some music for her.

"It should not be too hard." It had less strings than the harp but the concept had to be the same, didn't it? She picked the guitar up and held it as she'd seen in the movies, fingers placing themselves before she strummed out a little tune. She didn't know any chords but her fingers moved quickly and expertly along the six strings to make it sound more like rain dropping.
"Mm. Should be able to pick it up..."

Dia clapped his hands happily. He'd never seen someone play guitar before but it looked right so it had to be! "You're good! Are you getting it?"
Rouge smiled. At least Diyaka was behaving. Demetra was attempting to grab a tamborine off the wall.

She shrugged and looked down at the price tag. Her heart sank. It'd take her a year to save up that much money...
"No."
The sidhe set it down and stood up, brushing her hair from her eyes. Maybe she could coerce Callix into sleeping with a CEO's wife or something. She giggled at that - god, she was his pimp wasn't she? Even if she hated all that female company around him.....Hypocrite.

Dia looked at the number and tugged on Rouge's sleeve. "Mommy, Mommy can we get it? Please please please please please?" the little boy had such huge puppy dog eyes. He must have been practicing that since she told him what his position was among the Tison gods.
"Oi." the blonde said. "Yeah sure. just get your sister that tamborine too cause she's gonna cry if she doesn't get it." she mumbled with a shrug.
