Hey man. You said you'd help me out with songwriting sometime, right? I think I'm gonna take you up on that.

[Text - Filtered to Demyx.]
Is it cool if I stop by the store soon? Also, do you guys do layaway plans?

[Video - Open.]

[Neil is tapping a pen against a leaf of stationery on which he has jotted a few messy lines of what might be poetry. He's wearing a pair of bulky black headphones, and he slides them to rest behind his ears, nudges a carton of cigarettes out of the way with his elbow, and clears his throat.]
So uh, I dunno if this is the right way to go about this, but if I sit around trying to figure out what the best way is, I'd probably just never do it. So I'm... just gonna go for it. I guess.

I'm starting a music project, basically. I don't... actually play any instruments. Yet. But I actually have it on pretty good authority that I can sing. And I... [He glances down at the paper.] ...might be able to write lyrics. I'll get back to you on that.

I'm pretty sure it'd be good if I could find someone who can play acoustic guitar. And maybe keyboard. But I'm not really picky.

Dunno if the City really needs a new band, but it probably won't hurt.

Let me know if you're interested, basically. [A pause.] That's it.

Check this shit out! If you be all needing some divine motherfucking inspiration for them wicked words, I think I be all slightly fuckin' blessed in that department, my brother.

I'm also good at the motherfucking horn. It's be like my specialty.

Aye, alright. [He's just kind of...normal level. Not even close to as excited as he is normally.] Dunno why you'd go for me when there's real deal rock stars in the City but I did offer.

Horns, eh? That might be cool. Do you have anything I can listen to?

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't want to work with them.

If you don't want to do it, it's cool.

That was fast.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-14 06:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Figured it'd be good to get started as soon as possible.

[identity profile] loonyandproud.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
Nah, I will, okay. I'm just no sure if you'll learn anythin'.

video!

[She's giggling. Which is probably bad news.]

You can sing, Neil?

[identity profile] 7thborn.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
How's it going so far?

[ T E X T ]

If your band sucks, just know that I'm gonna fucking burn you.

[ He's kidding. Mostly. ]

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Come on, man. You know music pretty frakkin' well. You can tell me if I suck or not, and how to fix it if I do.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 04:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[The laughing is unnerving. He thought he could, but now just because of that, he's kind of doubting himself. So when he answers he sounds uncertain.]

'S what I've been told? By a couple people, anyway.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm pretty sure you can save your fire for a more worthy cause. It's not gonna suck.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Right now? Kinda slow. But I gotta start somewhere.

[identity profile] 4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I want to hear. Serenade me!

[identity profile] mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Neil! That's amazing. I get groupie dibs.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
What, right now?

[identity profile] 4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, of course!

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome. I'll let you know as soon as I actually get something put together.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-15 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhmm, okay, I guess I could do that?

[She's kind of putting him on the spot. He's quiet just long enough to make it awkward, trying to decide what to sing.

Finally, he clears his throat.]


Uhmm. Okay.

[He sings the first few lines of Man-Revolutionary! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R85MIoHyVfU) by Rogue Wave. His voice sounds basically like Ben Kweller (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aC4Ew-vd_w), if Ben Kweller sounded Canadian instead of Southern American.]

I wish you luck in this endeavor.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks.

[identity profile] mghtbconcussed.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
Good. And you still totally owe me a serenade.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-16 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
Sure, any time.

[identity profile] 4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Terezi is surprisingly quiet, and listens without interruption. When he finishes, she claps and grins.]

Amazing! I like it!
