The Music Tables
 
http://i66.tinypic.com/hwbrpv.jpg

The most important area of the shop is also the largest and usually most jam-packed. Wide metal tables take up the majority of the shop, each one laden with albums both old and new in various forms. There are so many tables that they are very carefully set up to just barely allow enough space for customers to walk past each other in the makeshift aisles. The tables, while regularly fixed to the floor, have the added benefit of being able to be banished to the back room by the shopkeeper to open up the floor space for shows and events. Unfortunately, this means that with each visit, you may find yourself searching for the table you wish to find, as it could turn up in a different area each day.

All types of recording media can be found on these tables - some are full of records, their jackets carefully arranged to be flipped through without damaging the vinyl within. Others are stacked with cassette tapes, the spines of their plastic casings turned upward to display the names of bands and albums. More still bear old compact discs in their jewel cases, in mint condition unless labeled otherwise. While not as plentiful, 8-track tapes and shellac records can also be found as well; the appropriate devices to play all of these things, paired with large over-ear headphones, can also be found at each table.

While a great many of the tables are dedicated to well-known Muggle recording formats, a fair amount of them are also dedicated to "item albums" as well. Small boxes bearing a band and album name litter these tables, stacked together haphazardly; inside are items the size of a knut, varying in colour and shape dependent on the box's label. A single tap with a wand will cause the album to begin to play aloud; should one choose to, the album can also be stuck behind the ear to be played privately, so as to not disturb others.

Feel free to browse and sample music from bands both new & old, Muggle & Wizard. Just remember - you break it, you bought it, and some of the items could turn out to be fairly pricey.

Eden was in London for the day to buy some potions supplies for Uni and had heard there was this cool new place in Diagon; a music shop! ABOUT DAMN TIME. She was pleased as soon as she slipped inside, letting the door close behind her.

Ahhh.

It smelled like a new store, and the enormous amounts of new music...old music...and ANCIENT music was astounding. She needed to take Phe here. He would LOVE it. Now where to start...where to start....

The tables! LOOK AT ALL OF IT. GAH.

Atticus was rather distracted today, though he tried to keep himself as busy with work as possible. There was still no news on his missing cousin and sales here were a little less than he had hoped for a grand opening. Perhaps he should have rushed things to have it open during summer. But he told himself that this was for the best and it would work out, and he wasn't about to outwardly show his concern. Just his cool and casual usual self.

He had heard the door open as he was re-shelving some of the merchandise and he watched as a very attractive woman came in to look around. Atticus turned his attention away to finish his work, then he sauntered her way to see if she needed any assistance, or just to chat up another music lover.

"Anything I can help you with, Miss?"

The brunette looked up and smiled, giving him a little chuckle as she gestured at the shop. "This is brilliant! When did you open?" she asked, shoving her hands in her pockets and walking over to him. "You sell both muggle and magical stuff? Old and new?" she had spotted an Agro album a second ago, and it made her heart skip a beat, especially since she knew they were splitting up.

Ugh.

Broke her heart, ugh.

"Is business going okay?" she asked curiously. "I live all the way in Cairo--else I'd probably be around here all the time." Since Eden loved music. BLED MUSIC. MUSIC ALL THE TIME.

Atticus gave the woman a smile noting that she seemed rather excited to be in his store and he leaned against one of the tables as she made her way a little closer to him. "I'm glad you approve. I figured that there was a need that I could meet." And he was sure that people would agree soon enough. "Just opened last week, actually." Still technically his grand opening, he'd suppose. "That's exactly what I sell," he smiled a bit smugly. "Was there anything specific you were looking for, or just browsing?" Though he really wouldn't mind her taking her time to look around.

"Cairo?" He raised an eyebrow. "That's quite a distance... Well, I'm glad you stopped in today. You seem like something of a music lover... Do you sing or play? Or just listen?" There certainly was nothing wrong with that, because it would be the fans to keep him in business. But he was curious, and nothing wrong with chatting up a pretty lady.

Just last week, huh. Eden nodded and.......she really got a look at the guy. Like REALLY looking at him...and she thought she--

"I RECOGNIZE YOU!" she cried suddenly. "You sang uh--that song--what the heck was it called--FOE GLASS REFLECTIONS!" she was positively BOUNCING. "Wow--SILVER STREELER! Right? Am I right?!" She was right she KNEW SHE WAS RIGHT.

She was excited now. And he was cute. Like. SO cute. Those tattoos...her blue eyes glazed over his arms briefly before meeting his gaze again. "Weeelllllll I'm mostly...looking for some old wizard rock...any chance you have some vinyls of like, Wiggenweld or...oooh any Cast Iron Magick?" She hadn't listened to Cast Iron in FOREVER. Ugh. "I just listen..." she explained, shoving her hands in her pockets and slipping off her engagement ring into her pocket. "I know people in the music world." Phoenix, mostly.

As the woman seemed to be checking him out, he looked her over as well, his arm still leaned casually against one of the tables. She was rather easy on the eyes after all and he currently didn't have any other customers in the store who needed his attention.

Though he was somewhat used to the occasional random fan recognizing him, the woman's sudden exclamation took him by surprise. "Yes, that's right," he grinned. "I was in Silver Streeler. I was their guitarist actually. Atticus Zeller." Foe Glass Reflections was easily their biggest hit, but being several years ago, it sometimes got lost in the more current music. "You must be a fan," he added, giving her a charming smile. He was always happy to meet his fans. Especially very attractive ones.

Old wizard rock on vinyl. Sure. "Ah, wrock using muggle means. Those are slightly more rare but I do carry that in stock." Many of the magical bands preferred the magical forms of delivering their music, but there were quite a few that also liked to put their music on vinyl just for the vintage experience. "That's right this way, Miss." He put his hand on her back to lead her that way. "Well," he smiled, "We do need fans. Musicians are nothing without them." Even if he played music for himself and didn't get into it for anyone else, it was important for people to listen and relate. And also buy.

Jaxson needed more music and who better to help him was his wife and child. He wanted more smoother music to help soothe their little one while he was trying to get him to sleep. and plus for him to travel to work, Jaxson loved to take the train and having music helped the travels.

"babe, if you like anything let me know" he valued her opinion because she had amazing taste in music and well pretty much anything

Zeller. Eden smiled her broad, wide smile and nodded. "Nice to officially meet you, Atticus. My name's Eden.." she said and held out her hand for him to shake. "I'm just...really into music...and all kinds, too...anything that can take me places," she said with a giggle. "Guitar. Wicked cool," she commented. "And I listened to some of your band's other stuff...I actually don't think Foe Glass Reflections was the best one...but I can't remember the others because it's been a few years." And she hadn't ever bought their album either :O

Of course, Eden knew it was rare. So she didn't expect him to carry it in the store so when he SAID HE HAD THEM SHE BEAMED. "Oh MERLIN! You have them?!?!?!?! WOW!" she bounced a little on the balls of her feet and followed beside him, noting his hand on her back...

Ahem.

"OH wow...WOW...um...can you reach them? I..." height challenged, yeah?

Family time!! She didn't know if this was the best place for family time but she would take what was thrown at her at them moment. She was having such a busy schedule lately. She just couldn't deal with everything at work but at the same time she really loved her job.

Wilhelmina followed her very handsome husband into the the new music shop. As the woman walked into the shop she held Harrison's hand. She knew it was new because she had never seen it before...unless it had been here for a long time then she just wasn't paying much attention to her. She looked at her husband and smile. "Will do."

Smiling back at his wife he flipped through a bunch of music and stopped a few tracks and took them out and placed them in his basket. Turning back he stared at Willa and Harrison and he wouldn't mind letting her have some free time to maybe relax. "Hey Harrison, come see daddy" he bent down and saw his little man run and he held him up in his arms. He loved his little man.

"want to help daddy pick out some music" flipping through more he took out one to show him. While his son was looking at the track Jaxson looked over again at Willa "maybe he'll be a rock star" he smiled at her.

Atticus returned the woman's smile. "Eden.. Such a beautiful name, it suits you well," he said, taking her offered hand to shake. "You are certainly in the right place then. I'm sure you can find exactly what you're looking for." He was always happy to meet a fan and she sure seemed like one. "Oh, have you? Yes, it has been a few years.." He didn't care to elaborate on that though. "Our album is here too, if you needed it." No pressure though.

He had to chuckle at her enthusiasm though. And of course it was always his goal to make his customers happy. "Oh, yes, sure I can do that for you." The merchandise wasn't that high up, but he supposed she was a tad on the short side Reaching up, he looked through his collection of vinyls, pulling out a few from the bands she had mentioned. "You didn't specify which albums, but maybe some of these are of interest?"

Was he flirting back? Eden almost couldn't tell because well..she didn't want to feel TOO confident, eh? "Well, thanks," she smiled. "And sure! I'll take an album," she nodded. If not to only impress this man.

Ahem.

No confessions from her, though.

Eden took the albums he had gotten and looked through them. How much was she willing to spend on music right now? And records, too. Hmm. "One of each band..." she mumbled to herself. She just had to decide which one..."Not too many of their albums are in vinyl," she spoke of Wiggenwold. "So I think I'll take this one--" she picked one of their earlier ones and smiled. "As for Cast Iron Magick..." she didn't know what to do. "Have you heard their bass player is doing a solo album? Do you think that's true?" Rocco Marsden, a solo album. Wow.

TakemetotheBurrow 06-20-2016 10:38 PM

What better place to hear a bit of juicy gossip than a crowded music store? She could hardly take three steps without bumping into someone by accident and almost all conversations were loud enough for her to hear so really, she was bound to find a story or at the very least-some inspiration for creative writing.

You had to love Diagon Alley.

Ameh 06-20-2016 11:07 PM

Really, was there anything better than music? Harker was sure there wasn't, and thus he found himself ducking into the music shop, out of the cold that had Diagon Alley in what seemed like a permafrost. Once inside he immediately stripped off his coat and stuffed it under one of the tables, hopefully out of sight enough that it wouldn't disappear on him; it was warm enough inside that he knew he wouldn't want it in a good minute. The tall man bypassed the counter, eyes lingering on the giant wall of shirts along the back of the shop before he made his way directly to the table littered with boxes and boxes of the item albums.

These things were so great for work. One little tap, and he could tune out an entire bar's worth of boring stories and needy patrons. They were honestly the best, and he wasn't sure how he had lived without them. As he passed by a girl (Tess) who was just sorta... standing in his road, he bumped into her, unable to fully get by with how close-quarters everything was.

"Sorry," he tossed over his shoulder, before leaning over the table and rummaging about to search for something good.

"Of course you are," Was the girl's reply from her place on the floor, having dropped a record because of the mishap. Hopefully it wasn't broken. Seemed a shame to have ruined a-oh, ew. Yeah, if it was broken, it'd be doing that band a favor.

"Excuse me, pardon me, trying to get up here." Like, getting down to retrieve the record had seemed like a good idea at the time but she was definitely stuck down there now.

What on earth was that woman doing on the floor. Hark glanced up from what he was doing, one hand having snapped up an album called Cerberus that he hadn't seen here before. It looked interesting, and he was intent on trying it, but... he stepped back another step or two, giving her room and holding out his hand. Because even if he hadn't knocked her down, it was polite to help a woman up, especially if they were... standing... like, under your feet.

"Mind your head," he said pointedly, eyes flickering to the table's edge.

"So sweet of you to be concerned," Tess replied as she took hold of the record and the man's hand with her free one. Once she was on her feet, she gave him a once over. Not the most tragic looking guy on the planet, so there was that.

"Thanks for the help, really." She did appreciate it, even if she blamed him for the whole being on the floor ordeal in the first place. "I'm Tess Song." Gossip columnist extraordinaire. "And you are?"

The look didn't go unnoticed, and Hark was having a difficult time figuring out if she was being sarcastic or if she was being genuine. It was easier to assume the latter, and once she was up off the floor he gave her a grin and glanced at the record she had been holding.

"Not their best work, that one," he said helpfully, gesturing toward it as she offered her name. He offered his hand again in return, for shaking instead of helping up. "Harker James. Hark."

He gave her a look over too, like she had done to him. Just because he could.

The look didn't go unnoticed and Tess simply smirked. She knew she looked good, thank you very much. "I can't say I've listened to it so I'll have to trust your word." She paused, eyes briefly flitting to a couple in the shop who appeared to be flirting. Hm.

"So Hark, what do you do when you're not offering music advice to pretty girls?" She was curious. Always curious.

He had listened to it. Once, ages ago. It could be a grower, possibly... but he wasn't willing to give it that chance. Because it had just been bad. Hark looked back at the table with the item albums on it and fished around through them absently with one hand, splitting his attention between her and the titles.

"Serving drinks to pretty girls. And old men. Who aren't nearly as interesting, hence..." he held up the album he'd already selected. "Good for drowning out people who think firewhiskey is a pass for telling their entire life story."

He found another one he rather liked, and held that one out to her. "Should give that a shot instead of the record. What do you do then?"

Oh, she'd take one of his old albums too? Atticus grinned as she said as much. "I'm sure you'll enjoy it immensely. And I might be persuaded to give you a special deal on it." Since she was already planning on buying several, he did sometimes give group discounts. "Did you want that on vinyl also?" He was sure he had a copy of it here.

He waited a moment as she looked through the albums, more to offer answers to any questions she might have rather than look over her shoulder. But she was taking kind of a while and he wasn't trying to pressure her too much, so he glanced at a few of the other customers as she decided. Didn't look like they needed any assistance right just then, so he turned back to Eden again when she made up her mind about one of the Wiggenweld albums. "Good choice," he nodded. "A solo album? There have been rumors circulating... I wouldn't be surprised if they were true." Sounded like something he would do, and the source that he heard that from was pretty reliable. And it was probably pretty close on the horizon if customers were asking him the same.

"You must hear some interesting things." Her eyes sparkled, intrigued. Who knew what person of interest might've stumbled into this man's place and shared something newsworthy. Smiling, she turned towards him completely, giving him all her attention. "You mean firewhiskey isn't a pass to do that? Hm. I'll have to inform most of the wizarding world."

Having set the other album down, Tess took the one being offered with both hands and considered it. "Thanks, I think I will." As for what she did, the brunette smirked. "I'm a journalist."

But she was taking kind of a while and he wasn't trying to pressure her too much, so he glanced at a few of the other customers as she decided. Didn't look like they needed any assistance right just then, so he turned back to Eden again when she made up her mind about one of the Wiggenweld albums. "Good choice," he nodded. "A solo album? There have been rumors circulating... I wouldn't be surprised if they were true." Sounded like something he would do, and the source that he heard that from was pretty reliable. And it was probably pretty close on the horizon if customers were asking him the same.

A special deal? Eden smiled reaaaaaal big at that. "I'd love that! And really? Cool, I'd love a vinyl of that, too," Eden nodded. So..three vinyls, then? Cool. Eden could slowly gain a small collection and feel COOL AS HECK and she was sure Phe would like it, too.

"Yeah...I'd be very interested to see if it's any good." She said with a shrug about the solo album. She looked around the store, spotting a few more people trickling in. That was cool, though. Eden wanted this place to do well and stay open because man, it was so rad! "So uh...when you close up?" she asked....curiously. Very curiously.

Ahem.

Cue smiling and tucking some of her hair behind her ear.

Atticus smiled back. He was quite enjoying this making his customers happy thing, especially the rather attractive ones. "Sounds perfect," he said with a slight bow of his head and he set aside the Wiggenweld album that she had selected, then reached for the Silver Streeler album from the shelf as well. "Did you decide on which Cast Iron Magick album you'd like also?" Of course, if she still needed some time to peruse, that was fine too. He was just curious so he could put back the ones she didn't want. No rush.

"Yeah, me too," he nodded, his thoughts not completely on the solo album. "I suppose time will tell anyway." It was still rumor as far as he was concerned, even if they might eventually come to fruition. Atticus smiled again as she did. "Well, I close up shop at 10.. if you're around then, I wouldn't mind buying you a drink." If she was interested, of course. Leaky Cauldron was close by. Though he frequented other places as well.
