Voice Testing is a GO

[long_live_disco]

We've known each other for how long and you're just now picking me up? AND you want to send me to a place where I can actually do my own thing and get paid for it?

...Solid.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

[long_live_disco]

Doesn't it? I may have the opportunity to teach a new generation about the ins and outs of music. Gives me an excuse to dust off my vinyl collection.

[justdickingaround]

You need an excuse?

But I'm totally with you. Teaching new kids what they'll need to know, especially from personal experience, is rewarding in and of itself, I'd say.

[long_live_disco]

And from what I've heard, these kids need a good cultural shakeup.

[justdickingaround]

Cultural, huh? You don't mess around when it comes to music, do you?

[long_live_disco]

You bet your butt I don't. They'll be exposed to everything, especially what inspired me to go into music.

[justdickingaround]

The more the better.

Even if it is disco.

[long_live_disco]

Hey, there's nothing wrong with spinning the likes of Donna Summer, the Bee Gees, or THIS.

[justdickingaround]

Hey, can't argue with what works.

[hipsterbane]

[She doesn't mean to, really. She's not normally a rude person. But it just slips out.] ...What are you wearing?

[long_live_disco]

A little number from my disco club days.

[concentricduditude]

I know exactly where you're coming from, Ali.

[long_live_disco]

Hey Alex! You've been in the bullpen for a while too, I take it?

[concentricduditude]

Not too long, but yeah. Kind of the same situation, too; been lurking for too long and only just got picked up.

[long_live_disco]

I thought you'd be the last guy I'd see at a place like this. So tell me, is your big brother around too?

[She has no idea...]

[procedencia]

That's the sorta good luck that comes with a catch.

-- Congrats, I mean.

[long_live_disco]

Thanks. There doesn't seem to be a catch, but mun is being mum about it.

[rubyquartz]

Could've just asked if you wanted a raise.

[long_live_disco]

Aw, Scott. I didn't know you had it in you.

[rubyquartz]

I didn't say I'd say yes.

[long_live_disco]

Drag...

Of course, what was I thinking?

[rubyquartz]

[With one hand he giveth...]

"What's the catch," presumably.

[wade_wilson]

Oh my GERD I love your shows! I mean you're no Grace Jones, but still this is going to be awesome!

Not that I'm in the game or anything, but I can be happy for you, right? You can sign me autographs? Like 50 or so?

Because you're cool. Can I call you Al?

[long_live_disco]

[HOLY-]

Wow I wasn't expecting you to show up here, either.

And fifty autographs? For you and your "friends"?

[ngl she's a bit creeped out, but she can't turn him away.]

I am so sorry.

[wade_wilson]

[She should totally turn him away. Right now. ASAP.]

Here? In the DM? You know how many things I have to say to my M?

[Too much. ]

Too much! Yep.

Friends? Uhh...yeah, friends. I have absolutely nothing insidious planned like selling them on ebay or to very lonely boys. Honest.

Do you give away your shades? You know like that wrestler guy did in the 90's? That'd be cool. Do you have red and black shades? With a matching suit? I recommend the suit. You'll be a hit!

Well, you're already a hit. You'd be hittier! Hit girl! Wait. No. I don't think that'll work. Besides, your name's so well established anyway.

So you get paid? Like a lot? A lot a lot, or just a lot, meh a lot?

It's all good o/

[long_live_disco]

Whoa whoa, slow down!

[What do with hardcore fanboys?!]

Let me worry about my finances, okay? And the shades, yeah don't worry about those, either.

I warned you.

[wade_wilson]

What can I say, I worry because I care. [Liar.] And finances are what I’m all about. Merc work and all that jazz.

Merc work. I like that. I should turn that into a song.

…No. Nonono. YOU should turn that into a song! I can see it now. Dazzler and her all new hit album “Merc Work and ALL That Jazz”!

You do jazz right? No, then it’d be Jazzler. That’s why you do disco. Where is my head today?

Okay, okay. I know what you’re thinking. “Where is he going with this?” Right? Right.

I’m not. Not a single direction.

Single direction! We could do that! A duet and we could call ourselves Single Direction!

…Nope, nope. That won’t work. What is it with me coming up with brilliant ideas after the fact.

You should hire me. From the future. Then I could give you all the good ideas before they happen. I’ll just borrow one of Cable’s spare time gizmos.

What’s my starting pay?

...

[long_live_disco]

It's official. I'm dead from laughter.

[long_live_disco]

[...What just happened? Ali's brain hurts right now.]

I'll take the suggestions into consideration.

[She's totally not.]

But Jazzler? That sounds really lame.

I tried to warn you.

[wade_wilson]

It does, doesn't it? I know a guy, so I'll have him get all the paperwork together and have it mailed to your agent. You have an agent right? I'll smooth that over with them over milk and cookies. Agents love milk and cookies.

So give me a call once it's all signed and we can totally do this. It won't interfere with this game, right? Theinstitute will understand. They'll know. I'll send them assorted chewy candies. I think I have some forever stamps somewhere. I bought a whole book of those when they came out I think.

Or I stole them. Not sure. Maybe "found" is a better word.

So have fun at your game, looking forward to working with you on this whole shindig, we're going to be so rich. I can finally buy everything out of that Skymall catalogue. Should I get a tiger? Tyson had a tiger. Maybe I should get one. Do you want one? I can get you one! You could use it for photoshoots.

I'm getting ahead of myself, aren't I? All right, tigers can wait. And so can lions and bears.

Wait, I have it! You could make a designer kind of thing that turns any clothing into a kind of pseudo copy of yours. Make it like knife shaped. No, no gun shaped! Yes, gun shaped BeDazzler! It-

...Damn it. I did it again. [facepalm]

Call me. I can get the rights to that. We can do this if we put our minds to it. And our guns and grenades.

[sonoflongshot]

And if there's one thing you've taught me, Mom, it's to always get paid for a gig. I can't survive on stale peanuts and ketchup packets.

[crawler_kid]

[Here, Ali. Have a kid who looks kinda like Kurt, but talks more like a certain Southern Belle.]

Sounds like a good gig, ma'am.
