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?
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.
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? ]
[ 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. ]
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. ]
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.
[ bless her. predictably, easily, he takes the bait and follows the line of conversation. ]
Let me guess, you were the kid who begged your mom to sign you up for swim lessons, and then ballet lessons, and then soccer, and then art, and then science camp, and then girl scouts and you only stuck with each of them for a couple of weeks. A month, at most.
[ he doesn't really think she did all of those specifically but...it's alex. alex is a person that seems like she used to be more well-rounded and wanted to get her hands into things before growing up into the alex who hyperfocuses sometimes and...still wants to get her hands into things. ]

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

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

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 ]

I'm sure you'll have plenty of downtime to practice your stage presence between missions.
no subject
... So you can't play any instrument? I bet you'd be a good drummer. They're always in the back getting less attention!

I lost interest after a while anyway.
no subject
... So you had interest for a while?
no subject
[ 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. ]
no subject
Yeah, I think I went through like a hundred hobbies as a kid that I don't touch anymore.
