the world has no music and it's fucking sad;

I don't have to imagine it, you know. Demons hiding in the airwaves, possessing people through music — it's like, total utter bullshit, you know?

Except it happened. I'm living through it.

It's still bullshit.

How you managed to keep it to just saying bullshit twice is magical to me.

It's the shittiest fucking bullshit. It's not any less true.

[ You know I'm right. ]

Wasn't arguing with you, y'know.

[ is this the part where i'm supposed to just shut up and agree? wait, i'm agreeing anyway. ]

Shittiest fucking bullshit sounds better though.

[ Be honest, you couldn't shut up about music if you tried. (Neither could I.) ]

Now if only I could sing it. [ Get the joke? ] The day this is over, I'm going to blast the most annoying pop song to ever come in existence. I'll fucking play Bieber. Remember him?

[ why would i want to shut up about music. (haha, ironic.) ]

You know what I remember the most about Bieber? When someone turned the speed all the way down with one of his songs, it ended up sounding like a religious experience.

[ it's true. ]

You think somethin' like that is gonna be effective against demons?

Man, I don't fucking know you, are you kidding me? You'd probably just get repossessed faster than a bank closes in on a million-dollar property with that thing.

Put the thought away, you're creeping me out.

So what's this, you're not a Belieber?

[ he's joking. ]

I don't know, Blondie, are you?

[ Your face isn't funny. ]

[ blondie. am i in trouble? ]

I know the lyrics to Boyfriend, that's it.

[ Good boys don't listen to Bieber. So yeah, maybe. ]

He's got more songs than Baby? Jesus.

[ music is music, man. regardless of how many tweenie fans they have. ]

You'd be surprised how many songs he actually has. Remember Mr Fijiwiji? He did a remix of a Bieber track, once.

[ Music is like opinion, wholly subjective. Demons missed the memo on that for some reason.

Also? Wincing. ]

My heart broke with MSTRKRFT as it is, goddamn. He sounds like a small girl, though.

[ i don't really think they get memos. ]

Yeah, I guess. Even when his balls dropped, he didn't exactly change his tone much.

Why are we still talking about Bieber?

[ my bad. ]

[ Well fuck them in the ear. ]

No idea. What else is there to talk about? The news is shit. The pop culture landscape is shit. Work is shit too while we're off-tour.

—Hockey. Let's talk hockey.

Do you even know anything about hockey?

[ 'cause i sure don't. ]

...I thought you were from Canada.

You're not?

Did I say I was from Canada?

Yeah, that sure sounds like bullshit.

It is. It doesn't look any different than an old man's diaper wipe, I'm telling you. Who wants to live in a world without any sound, anyway?

How do you talk?

[ Okay, slight exaggerations aside. ]

Talking's fine, I guess. There's rules for possessing people, I don't know. [ But she does - she was going to be an audio engineer, she'd thrown all her proverbial eggs in that basket from the beginning, and then fucking demons happened. ] But music? Like, anything ranging from Chopin to Buckethead to brainless pop stuff, they're no good anymore.

Anything with chord progression, even just basic harmony, and you're screwed. That's it. That's all they need to get in.

[ dude you said no sound and this guy hangs out with a mermaid anything is possible ]

So no singing in the shower, huh?

Nope. Humming's pushing your luck, too, so nix on that.

It's total shit, man.

Demons are bad enough without airwave possession.

You're telling me.

[ It was horrible the first time, and it never stops being horrible even now. ]

One minute you're rocking out to your favorite album, next thing you know you're like, totally possessed and bleeding tar out the ears. How is that fair?

What would you listen to on long drives? [ Long drives spent in silence sounds like torture. ]

Is it just music?

Nothing. [ And yes, it is. It's torture, especially for the musically inclined. ]

Far as we know, it's just music. Anything perceived as music kills, so of course the logical reaction was to ban it wholesale, like everywhere, and then gag anyone who enjoys singing "just to be safe", because why not.

Short of everybody in the world going deaf, there's not much anyone can even do about it.

...How in the world could demons possess people in such a manner?

[ Excuse this very nosy elf. He's honestly a tad curious about your story. ]

Frequencies. I mean, come on — people only hear within a certain range, and how are you gonna defend yourself from sound? Unless you were born deaf or you've got an extreme case of tinnitus, you're completely boned.

You could be hearing a certain sound and not realize you're hearing it until it's already sunk itself into your ears.

[ That's how it had spread so fast; no one took the "demons possessing people through songs" part until it was endemic, and by then, there was very little they could do. ]

Demons can possess people through music now?

… Man, that has got to suck.

Edited (i'm indecisive ) 2014-02-19 07:26 (UTC)

Like donkey piss, yeah.

We're gonna fucking beat them back, though. [ Conviction can go a long way, right. ]

Yeah? Well good luck kicking their asses. I don’t even wanna imagine a world where music is like forbidden, or something, just because a bunch of asshole demons found a way to get to the masses.

So like, is it all music contaminated, and not just the top picks hit list music of KIIS FM?

Anything with natural-occurring sounds, seems like. I mean, that's the only fucking reason I can think of why EDM exorcises and not infects, yeah?

I haven't heard a real rock song in years. [ And she's bitter about it, too. ]

Yeah. [ So much for being hopeful in thinking he was wrong. ] Damn.

I wonder if you can listen to, like, a song or something around here. Here being the multiverse I mean. Have you tried doing that yet? Cause unless those demons followed you, I think it's safe to use Spotify and turn up the volume to those speakers.
