It'll be fun. [ she laughs. ] He really takes music seriously.

[westedge]

Yeah. When we were talking about the kind of people we met here he was mentioning who could sing or perform. Guess it's good he's passionate about something?

[camena]

It's cool! Too bad I can't play anything or we could start a band.

[ she says, with no idea if jonas or setsu can play an instrument or sing whatsoever. ]

[westedge]

More like you two could start a band and Setsu and I could do crowd control. [ haha. ] Maybe if you ask he'll teach you.

[camena]

Pfft. Two people isn't a band. [ yes it? is? ]

And unless it's for a task, Iiii don't know if I've got time to try and learn an instrument.

[westedge]

Someone clearly has never heard of Simon and Garfunkel. [ why is this the reference you reach for. ]

We don't know what the tasks are yet, but I could see one of them being "learn a new skill from your teammates" or something like that. More "bonding" to see how well a team works together.

[camena]

I have too. [ okay good argument. ]

Maybe, but that's just more reason not to learn yet. What if I do learn guitar, and then, like, next week that's the task? I can't learn guitar twice! [ as if this is the only thing she could learn from a teammate? ]

[westedge]

You could, too. Learn a different song and that'd probably count for something.

[ this is such a stupid hypothetical. ]

[camena]

... Good point! I could learn two songs.

[ she's just giving up immediately because it's funnier ]

[westedge]

[ alex help. ]

Hold onto that. Big dreams and all. [ both of you shut up. ]

[camena]

Ren would be impressed.

[westedge]

Why do I get the feeling Ren is just as easily swayed as you are? [ be nice to ren. ]

[camena]

[ be nice to ren? be nice to ALEX!!!!! ]

You're just jealous that I'm going to learn guitar and join Ren's band and get rich and famous. [ she doesn't want any of those things ]

[westedge]

[ i don't want to talk about how nice he's been to alex in so many other people's threads. ]

Oh yeah, that's exactly what I want is a bunch of people staring at me and waiting for me to do something. [ no thanks!! ] Have fun being a part of the--what was it?

[ he remembers the band name, he is just making alex say it out loud to acknowledge how dumb it is. ]

[camena]

[ hehe




except less hehe that she has to say it. ]

The. Redheaded Bed-Wetters.

[westedge]

[




yeah he's just snickering like an asshole. ]

[camena]

Onnnn second thought, I've decided to break into the industry as a solo act.

[westedge]

[ hah. ]

I'm sure you'll have plenty of downtime to practice your stage presence between missions.

[camena]

[ she laughs ]

... So you can't play any instrument? I bet you'd be a good drummer. They're always in the back getting less attention!

[westedge]

You know they're also the loudest, right? [ popping a hole in her logic. ] But no, never played anything. Thought about it maybe once or twice but...it's not really a thing people do there.

[ "there" of course being westedge but he doesn't think he has to specify with her. ]

[camena]

I still think you could do it. [ it's the instrument being loud, not him? sure. something like that. ] And—what, really?

[westedge]

[ rolling his eyes. yeah, okay, fair. ]

Well okay, yeah, there were probably some people who played instruments in their garage or whatever but it wasn't like a big thing. People didn't have bands that actually practiced or got together or recorded songs.

I lost interest after a while anyway.

[camena]

Huh.

... So you had interest for a while?

[westedge]

Sure. I had interest in a lot of things for a while.

[ which is kind of vague, but it's also kind of telling at the same time. he doesn't seem to mind admitting it at least. ]

[camena]

[ that sounds a little depressing, so she's just trying to keep this light and breezy. ]

Yeah, I think I went through like a hundred hobbies as a kid that I don't touch anymore.
