Finding that there was a little time to wait, Mina pulled her ipod out of her purse and leaned back against the entrance to the elevator with her ear buds in, playing instrumentals softly.<br/><br/>It was a people watching trick, she switched from instrumental to instrumental and sang along--very softly--depending on who he she was looking at.  The security gaurdswoman was the first to get her own song, but when she laid eyes on the dangerous beauty who'd followed her.<br/><br/>All Along the Crooked Way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpeyuD1THBI#)<br/><br/>As all but subvoclaized the song, she almost seduced herself to the beauty.<br/><br/>A Japanese woman--just as beautiful but without the same dangerous irritability--snapped her out of the spell, and she flipped her Ipod to Shonen knife, singing softly in her textbook<em>nippongo</em>.<br/><br/>The girl in the red dress switched her music again.  When she reached the elevator and offered greeting, Mina popped her headphones out and switched the music off.  Stepping forwards in response to the introduction, she offered her hand, "Hi, Alee.  I'm Mina."  Her voice was musical, and her local accent sweetened with a memory of Paris.
