musical joys

[tothedirt]

Now lookit you go. Three years is a long time to hang onto that slingshot, kid, I'll tell you what. Hey, tell you what else: damn. I'm gonna need, like, three bodyguards. [ AhAHAHAhaha bad joke. ] -- Dude, hey, I'm kidding. I ain't a dick, I'm just real lucky -- and real loud, I guess, but that's my bad. Pay's pretty good, though. Only gotta eat dog food like, twice a week, I ain't complaining.

Yo, so what now? I got a read on half the shit out here with a brain, but you, I don't fuckin' know. Just don't trash me, girl; I only just got your attention. Shit's finally starting to look up. Let's -- ha, lessee what the future holds. No charge.

PLAY ONE, PLAY THEM ALL!

There's no future for us, Sky Wire. We're all just living in the past. Only one moving forward is our Girl.

But there are plenty of stories that haven't been told yet.

ONCE U POP U CANT STOP

[tothedirt]

Could be one out there for some of us, though. Like alternate universes or whatever. All kinds of leftover futures and shit just hanging around.

[jetblacksocool]

Some of us? [Just let him move those shades so he can raise an eyebrow.] You planning on travelling light?

[tothedirt]

I don't plan. I just say shit, so don't take it personally. But this storytelling line, man, it sounds good.

[jetblacksocool]

It's a good thing you choose your crew more carefully than your words. I got too many pages with you in them to just cut you out of the book. You'll see.

[tothedirt]

Aw. Thanks, Jet, that's real sweet of you.

[jetblacksocool]

Still can't tell if you're being genuine and I'm just that soft, or you're being a sarcastic little shit and I got some head smacking to do.

[tothedirt]

Uh. Little of both?

[jetblacksocool]

[Jet nods, sniffing and staring down at his feet with his hands on his hips.] Good to know.

[SMACK!]

[tothedirt]

[ OOOOOOOW. ] Hey, hey, shit's sensitive! Ow!

[jetblacksocool]

[Heheheh.] Guess I was wrong. It's you that's soft, Ghoulie! We should work on that. Soon.

[tothedirt]

[ >8C ] Yo, what's that mean?

[jetblacksocool]

Means I need you at my back sooner than later. Means we need to be getting started before she has a chance to let you fade back to where you came from.

[Smirk.] Means watch your mouth, Psywave.

[tothedirt]

Hey, wow, I see you already got your plans all made. What happened to asking nicely?

[jetblacksocool]

You really wanna dig your heels in the ground on this one? Family shouldn't have to ask.

[tothedirt]

I'm still pretty fucked, dude, I still don't know where I stand with like, nobody, yet. Plus I was, yanno, being a shit, so.

[jetblacksocool]

You stand with us. [Steady shoulder grasp! And a smirk.] You're our shit. No going back.

How about you just tell me when you're ready, Sunshine. I'll be there.

[tothedirt]

Yeah, man, I'll do that. Lemme unscramble my eggs. [ Wait, that sounds gross. Pffffft. ]

[getupandgo]

Y'ain't going nowhere, baby, y'just got here. Ain't gonna let ya.
[Yaaaay more 'Joys. Fuck yeah]

[tothedirt]

Yeah, you fuckers are like quicksand, I got your number.

[getupandgo]

And you love it, c'mon.
Follow the soothing sounds of my voice and never go home.
[ Wiggly fingers and all. ]

[tothedirt]

You hiding a van back there? Cuz that's fuckin' creepy. You're creepy.

[getupandgo]

Just playin' out my ghostly skills. Gotta learn that shit from now on.

[tothedirt]

You know you're not really all that ghosty right now, right? Don't exactly look like it, anyway.

[getupandgo]

Shit works in mysterious ways and all that. Relax, man, ain't here to haunt ya. Eh.

You gotta have fun with the shit you're given.

[gloryisbullshit]

Can't trash what's already trash, even she can see the shit you're slingin. And I mean shit like caked.

[tothedirt]

Keep talking, friend, only gonna make it so much sweeter when you wind up wrong. Sure you don't wanna reconsider?

[gloryisbullshit]

Sweeter? Who exactly's sweetening the deal?

[tothedirt]

You with your foot in your mouth, mostly.

[gloryisbullshit]

Well I'm callin yer bluff now, I can't even get my foot to my mouth!

[tothedirt]

Yeah? You wanna let me fix that for you? Name a time or place, man, I give like, not even half a shit.

[gloryisbullshit]

Oh, babe, is that, uh. Is that a strut? Like are you trying to swing anything right now, cuz huh-huh-honey.

Please.

[tothedirt]

You sound scared I'm gonna be right. Pick up something maybe you don't want me to pick up.

[gloryisbullshit]

I ain't scareda bein picked up, cuz it's bullshit, G. It's straight bullshit, what you say you do, we both know it. So stop, already.

[tothedirt]

No. Cuz it' ain't. You listened to anybody who's come to me and gotten something real, or are you just a fuckin' donkey about it cuz you feel like it?

[gloryisbullshit]

Oh sorry, sorry for not swallowing straight through the sinker, my bad, my gag reflex needs work.

[tothedirt]

I bet it does.

[gloryisbullshit]

Mmm, don't look at me like that. I couldn't find that th-thing with mi-croscope.

[tothedirt]

Ow. You're a mean guy, Party Poison.

[bluebot]

Are you sure it's just luck?

[tothedirt]

I got a lotta words for it, so nah, not really. Start counting near-death shit and the terminology gets kinda weird.

[bluebot]

I bet that gets really boring after a while, huh? N-not... that I would know. I mean, no that I could comment-- Not that I mean your life is meaningless and near-death doesn't matter! Oh ...

[This is not what what she meant to say at all.]

[tothedirt]

Hey, wow, relax, it's cool. Name's Blue, right?

[bluebot]

Right! You're different than the other ones...

I'd still charge. No one survives on freebies. [PAY THE MAN, ACE!]

[tothedirt]

Naaaaah, it's cool. Different how?

[bluebot]

You're brighter--... Th-than the ones I've seen. There's less weighing you down... so far. You're shiny.

[tothedirt]

[ :D ] Well that's a hell of a compliment. I'll take it.
