[he's in the jungle, playing along And singing, too.]

1, 2 3, take my hand and come with me
Because you look so fine I really wanna make you mine...
I said are you gonna rock my world?

[give him a moment as he gets really into the outro, the song magically loud and maybe even some birds in the background bobbing along. Just another parrot in the forest.

When the song is done, he takes a breath and grins. It's obvious he's been doing this for a while and is slap happy about it]

As curses go, this is fun. One of the better ones. If you have to be cursed. It might as well be with music.

Oh wait--! [a new song begins to play and makes him laugh. He flips his shades on]

Let's rock and roll.

That I haven't heard. Catchy, though. Not surprising that it comes from Sylvando. [he tries to play along, but the song clashes with the one that's currently going on in his background and he gives up]

I was never much for Broadway. Maybe we can enable something else to come our way.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Yeah me, neither. I mean seriously, can you see me at one of those fancy plays?

[She snorts, shaking her head at the very idea.]

Enable? Like try to get another song?

[guitar_hero]

Is it because it's Broadway or because it's fancy?

[he grins]

Yep. That's what I mean. If we start singing something we like loud and obnoxiously, maybe the magic will change just to get us to shut up.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Yes? [She grins right back] C'mon, I don't fit in with the fancy crowds. I never have.

[She mulls over his suggestion]

That might work. Got any suggestions?

[guitar_hero]

Ah well don't let that stop you from doing what you want to do. What you choose to wear isn't anywhere near as important as what exists in here. [he tapped the center of his chest.

As for suggestions...]

I don't know. What sort of thing do you generally like?

[az_shrimp_horny]

I never do. [She grins.] That's how I ended up with a no trespass order to the country club. But I'll tell you, that girl will never forget her quinceanera.

[Good times. Good times.

Aaaaaaaanyway. She shrugs.]

I'd say Rihanna but you don't have the pipes for that.

[guitar_hero]

[he laughs shortly at that] I don't doubt.

[and as for Rihanna.]

I can get the pipes for them. Do you really want that? [there might be a trick there. Might. Possibly not. But possibly.]

[az_shrimp_horny]

[She laughs] Ohhh better not. I don't want you to ruin her for me forever. I have some amazing memories of going to see her in concert when I was still alive. How 'bout you? What kinda music do you like?

[guitar_hero]

[Another day maybe. He is determined]

Really? I never got the chance. Funny thing, you travel through time and space, but there is always something you miss. It's what makes it exciting. [he grins] It's what makes moments precious.

[aside from that]

Anything. Everything. Mostly. There was one band on Yagyu Orbit 47 that made your eyeballs burst-- and even then the sound wasn't bad but it's something you can really only enjoy once. Fortunately I was in the middle of regeneration at the time.

[and became a gremlin, but that's what happens]

[az_shrimp_horny]

I saw her in Vegas. She was really late and a little drunk but the show was hot as hell!

[... wait what? She stares at him for a long moment.]

I... don't even know what to do with that. Eyeball bursting music? I mean, after a while it just becomes music for blind people, right?

[guitar_hero]

Sounds like it. [a shrug and a little riff on the guitar]

It's like anything new and avant garde. You're only a true fan if you've had seventeen eye replacements and one corneal implant.

[az_shrimp_horny]

[That gets a laugh from her]

That's fucking hardcore. Sounds like something the juggalos would do, though. I can think of a few metal heads who'd go fucking nuts and do shit like that for their favorite band. Count me out, though. Nuh-uh.

[guitar_hero]

Somewhere better then. Somewhere fantastic you've never been before. Where have you never been that you never knew you wanted to go.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Somewhere I've never been.... that I never knew I wanted to go...

[Once upon a time she would have called him a nutcase for even asking that question. But she had an answer, now. It brought a small smile to her face as she thought about the person who made her want this.]

Greece. I never wanted to go 'til Chidi started teaching us ethics and I started hearing about Aristotle and Plato and the rest of them. I'd love to see it for myself.
