Next Time on Labcoat · 4:18am May 22nd, 2016
Work progresses on getting more writing and editing done. I'm about halfway done with the next chapter before I can get it posted. I thought I'd share a few snippets from the upcoming piece.
Sugarcoat looked desperately pretty and Twilight felt underdressed in comparison. “Um, speaking of stereo, do you think we could listen to some music on the way?”
“What did you have in mind? I think my phone is paired, or if you’re familiar with the satellite radio channels and know what you want.”
“Classical.” Twilight smiled brightly.
Sugarcoat sighed. “Why am I not surprised?”
Twilight frowned and wrung her hands. “What’s wrong with classical?”
“Nothing!” Sugarcoat said quickly. “Nothing, I’m just.... I figured.” She offered Twilight a small smile.
“Wh-what do you like to listen to?”
“Oh, you know. The usual teenage stuff.” Sugarcoat waved her hand flippantly. “Death metal.”
Twilight froze with her jaw hanging open. “D-de-death m-metal?”
Sugarcoat snorted with laughter. “No, just regular, plain-old heavy metal. I tend to shy away from the violent stuff. This stuff, the classical that’s playing? Reminds me of symphonic metal. Not my first choice, but I can appreciate talent.”
Twilight chuckled nervously and wrapped her arms around her waist, as if to hug herself.
“You’re a little freaked out by the death metal comment.”
Twilight nodded mutely.
“I’m sorry. I was trying to be funny. I guess you’re not used to my sense of humor yet.”
Judging from this excerpt, I'm expecting some music links in the next chapter.
this is going to be one fun chapter!
