Vinyl is quite happy with her life. A minor secretary, she lives her life one day at a time, thoroughly determined to not let a good memory pass her by.
Octavia hates her life. She's the conductor of the orchestra she's played in for years, and suddenly realizes she hates everything about it. She just wants some freedom, some joy, something to smile about.
Fate brings these two together, and you get the auspicious opportunity to read their story.

I like it, but think Vinyl as a DJ is burned into my brain. I'm not used to office worker Vinyl. Looking forward to more.
You got my curiosity at the title and the pic, you got my attention at the synopsis and now you got my love with the first chapter... I, sure as hell, want to see the rest of it now.
I really loved the foreshadowing by the way!
so wait, vinyl is depicted as a clean cut self respecting woman and Octavia is the one who smokes and gets smashed every night?
this new twist on a fav ship of mine is,...is,....to put it plainly
"Metal as f**k"
-HWB.
I don't think leaking is the word you meant here.
This was a great start and I like your versions of Vinyl and Octavia.
Very interesting sofar, worth tracking
Interesting! I am so tracking this!
I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by this - it's a lot better than a lot of OctaScratch, that's for sure. Lets see where you take this.
I love how their personalities are switched around from their usual canon! A refreshing twist that inclines me to track this story and ask for more
While I'm all for making characters your own, Vinyl seems so distant from the little we've seen on the show, she might as well be an oc. I obviously have no issue with ocs as evidenced by my own writing, so that isn't an issue for me. Why didn't you make this interpretation of Vinyl an oc?
Other than that, I enjoyed. Nice start and some lovely atmospheric moments.
Skyrim reference! Beautiful work, keep it up. I'd love to know more about what's going to happen.

d'awww you guys make me blush
5295780 EGADS! My thanks.
5296766 Nah, she's still Vinyl, through and through.
5297578 ALL THE SKYRIM REFERENCE
5296766
Literally the only things we know about Vinyl "in canon" is that she's friendly and likes music. That's it. On the show she has a screen time of like a minute at most, and she didn't actually speak in the movie. To say that she has a personality to mess up is being rather generous to a background character.
Almost favorited before reading. My bad.
i loved this chapter! it made me laugh out loud in freaking public! scared the bajesus out of the guy next to me, though.
5304685 Hehe, i had just as much fun writing it!
Oh my stars, this is a kinky one!
This chapter was pretty good I can't wait for the next chapter
You have earned a fave
the word of the day shall be legs they should help each other spread the word
Contentwise this was great, but there were a couple of grammar mistakes.
Couple of uncapitalized 'I's and a spice in the middle of 'the' in the last sentence.
Presumably it should be 'woody'.
I can't believe I've been underestimating the power of nipples for so long!
5305765 *blinks in confusion*
. . .
Oh!
They really should spread that word far and wide.
It feels like a young adult stories like John Green's books when I read this, which mean this is so good and gonna be good later on.
Keep up the good work.
5308167 5306676 5305043 5305027 Glad you guys enjoyed!
5306541 oh my, thanks! I tend to write and edit inebriated, so people like you are a godsend.
5306676 do not underestimate nipples.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-
Y'all gotta stop screamin', 'afore ah buck you again!
*THUNK*
Ah heh...... Sorry.
Anyways, this was good, escalated quickly.
Bring more.
I wonder what happens when they're sober(er) the next morning...
That was great! I love the pacing, and the quick update schedule doesn't hurt, either.
'smiled'
'Vinyl's'
There are a few places where Vinyl is thinking that should be put in italics, and pretty much every single one of those massive paragraph chunks throughout should be split into two or three.
5308435 You know, I literally updated right after I replied to your other comment. Damn, you'd think I'd learn.
I really should create another account just to thumb up this fic again but I'm too lazy...
Keep the awesome work!
5308385 5308501 <3
5308401 huehuehuehuehue
5308289 I can tell you tend to write and edit inebriated!
5308552 Hey, it's worked so far!
Elder Scrolls reference, I see what you did there. Keep up the good work, it's almost so awkward it's actually awkward. But it's not.
YOU TEASING BASTARD!!
In all seriousness, I'm loving this story
Ha! Elder Scrolls very nice.
Omg that was epic. Can't wait for the next one
Great story, I really enjoy your writing style and story structure. You're being a little mean leaving us with a cliff hanger like that; I guess that it is your job as an author though. Keep up the awesome work, can't wait for the next chapter.
...I want a really good Elder Scrolls movie series now.
Why must you tease me with things I can't have? 
Anyway, I'm really liking this so far! Keep it up.
Starting the shipping early, I see. And with nipple tweaking at that. This is gonna be good.
You have my attention. However, I feel I should point out that you missed a few mistakes.
This is past tense, so it should be "were", not "are".
That's "plan of attack".
Missing the "e" in "towel".
Missing the "y" in Vinyl's name.
It should be "to" with only one "o".
Sublime, from the start to the current ending.
I do enjoy these characterizations of Vinyl and Octavia. Regarding Vinyl, you managed to keep her as a free-spirited girl without making her too random and spontaneous to the point of annoyance, as some authors can make the mistake of doing. This also may be a personal bias, as I like TaviScratch stories where Vinyl is a bit more reserved and demure than others. Octavia's misanthropy seems to be well placed, and you mix it with her overall attitude well without her seeming too terribly cynical. I look forward to seeing future chapters. Have a moustache.
What the hell.
Have a happy Twilight too.

5309255 Yupp! Been playing skyrim pretty much every night for the past two weeks, so it's in my head.
5311424 i love you
5311424 However, if I may debate your first point. Octavia is thinking in past, but it's indicating that the orchestra is still unruly, hence the present tense 'are.' I think you may be technically right, arguing tenses and all that, but I like it the way it is. :3
5312858 Fair point. However, I do think you may need to look into getting a proofreader/editor. I've already found a few minor errors in the first paragraph of the second chapter, such as:
I believe you meant "constraints", as constanants is not a word.
5312925 Consonants. lel. as in, not a vowel. My bad again.
A proofreader would be nice. You available? ;]
Aww over already? Damnit wish i knew anything about cars... oh well guess ill just sit here and wait untill someone comes to the rescue for that bonus chapter!
5312947 LISTS YAY
Guess! :P Worst that can happen is nothing.
Aww. The only thing this story has against it is that it's so short. A wonderful OctaScratch and a hearty congratulations on me not finding any typos in the last chapter.
