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?

[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.

video!

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

You can sing, Neil?

[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.

I want to hear. Serenade me!

[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.]

[Terezi is surprisingly quiet, and listens without interruption. When he finishes, she claps and grins.]

Amazing! I like it!

You are going to have to sing for me more often, now!

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah, sure, I could do that. 'Specially if this band thing works out.

[She giggles again, tilting her head slightly.]

What kind of silly human music do you play?

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... alternative rock, I guess. Mainly.

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, y'know, like... Arcade Fire, The Shins, Gorillaz, New Order... that sorta thing.

Who? Those are dumb names!

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
What? No they're not!

What do you listen to, then?

[identity profile] 4llth3just1c3.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome troll music, duh!

[identity profile] illgrowoutofit.livejournal.com 2011-07-17 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Never heard any. What's it like?
