[little!Lucy is back on the Plane and it looks like she might have brought her study area with her. there's a desk with books and papers stacked neatly along the edges, a handful of pens and pencils resting in a groove along the top. one of the books -- it looks like a history text -- is open and has some random doodles and notations along the margins.

Lucy is nowhere to be seen for a minute, re-appearing eventually with -- could it be? -- why yes, it's an eight-track tape! she looks at her desk, then looks around the Plane a minute, like she's trying to make sure no one's watching, and then she turns on the tape.

I do so hope you all like Dexy's Midnight Runners, Plane-goers, because "Come On Eileen" is now blasting in at least one area of the Plane while Lucy has a great time dancing to August 1982's chart topper]

[randomly, no lie, yesterday or the day before, I can't even remember I was telling Farrah how much I love this song....but that is not the point of this SO! Have a Handy, watching her, and randomly looking back and forth between her and the doodles in her textbook and other items on her desk. He might be absently humming along without noticing, too.]

[bites her lip smiling at Lucy]

I know this one, mum loves it.

[and Mel is going for the hat-trick! have a Jeremiah Arkham, too. He studies the eight-track player]

I have not seen one of these for quite some time, I must say.

{:D!! Diva will now be dancing with you, Lucy. She doesn't know that song, but that's okay!}

[Lucy totally doesn't notice him at first, just dancing and bobbing to the music, singing along during the chorus]

C'mon, tu ra la tu ra le, c'mon, tu ra la tu ra le, c'mon, tu ra la tu ra l-- you!

[guess who just realised she isn't alone]

[gasp, someone is watching her!]

Oh, really? I didn't think mums liked this kind of music.

[oh god all these people, what are they doing here]

I got mine last year! Isn't it amazing?

[Lucy would be really embarrassed if it weren't Diva. as it is, she just keeps dancing, tapping her toes to the music and singing along]

Come on Eileen, I swear, well he means, Ah come on let's take off everything~ That pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes), Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen, please.

[oh, Lucy. if only you realised how dirty this song is]

{D:...oh...Diva realizes it, at least}

Ne, what kind of song is this, Lucy?

It's at the top of all the charts! Isn't it splendid?

{Nods}

It's very catchy! It's different from the usual music that I hear.

Me.

[smiles brightly]

See I could make a brilliant spy. Didn't even know I was there, did you, despite being able to cut people with my elbows?

[her powers of deduction - all right, um, just the room and 8 track and Lucy's clothing - wait that is powers of deduction and they are mighty! well anyway, she is figuring Lucy is from a few years behind her at the very least]

Depends how old your mum is and all that. What you got now, think it's all sorta before my time, but might be around my mum's when she was younger. Guessing from everything, you're what, in the seventies, eighties, something like that, yeah?

[hey, Lucy loves the attention, she can't deny it!]

Quite. A gift from your father?

You must have cheated! That's the only reason you caught me off-guard!

I'm from 1982.

How can that be before your time?

How did you guess?

What do you listen to?

...Well, classical music and opera, mostly. I haven't heard much of modern music.

That's terribly boring, Diva. If you want, you can listen to my collection.

I should be offended!

And anyway, I don't think there's such a thing as cheating when you're a spy, especially as the whole point of it is sneaking around and things.

Oh, it's not boring, though! It's what I sing to, and it's my work. It's absolutely beautiful. It's not that I don't like modern music, but...the classic music is my passion.

Got something to do with me being from the future, or you're from the past. I dunno.

Tell you what, I wasn't even born yet in 1982. Got another five years before I was born. This place is sorta weird. Like I got another me around here somewhere. She's from my future, I think, she looks all older than me anyway.

I am very clever. Also, it is part of my profession to have the ability to deduce certain facts with limited clues. My patients are not always the most forthcoming. A good challenge is in itself a reward one might say.

A good present it seems, you look to be enjoying it.

But I'm also a spy! You can't spy on a spy, that's one of the rules!
