I've been thinkin'.

[ Oh! It's not just a rare video feed from Courier Six, but he's out and about on his mail route. He's passing between some homes right now, the view quite nice, as he talks, looking relaxed and toasty in all the gifts he's gotten. His voice is calm and measured, a smile on his dragon mouth, calm as he delivers mostly food between houses. ] Now, I know th'joke about it bein' a bad thing to be thinking.

But some of us have been here for a while. And it's got me wonderin'. What sort of new behaviours have you gotten from the creatures you are? I've seen some of 'em first-hand, but it might be good to chat about 'em. Includin' th'ones we try and ignore. Like th'fucking torpor. Uh-- the fact that lizards try and sleep a lot in the cold. Not every bit of these bodies are fun.

I know there's some of you guys who also try and fight past some of 'em. That hard?

Chat among yourselves if you want, I'm on this route for a while - the daily grind doesn't end. That was a fun debate we had from Akechi, wasn't it? Nature and nurture and what we are, nowadays.

This place is so fuckin'-- uh. Well. It's weird not listenin' to music during my travels. Guess that's why I decided to chat over this.

Maybe I should try broadcastin' some tunes.

[notyourbloodymessiah]

Perhaps we can share some tunes.

[ just wait until they find out how much their soundtracks overlap. ]

I'd be eager to hear what some people like to listen to in their worlds.

[shotinhead]

I'll need t'make sure I haven't forgotten 'em, too. We didn't have much new music bein' made. Though I did know this chick who was gonna be a rock star... [ elvira mention! ] To be fair, there's already a lot of music.

[notyourbloodymessiah]

Music is music.

[ perrin can probably hear her starting to project a little bit of the ink spots for effect. ]

[shotinhead]

[ you know, that's the style of music he both misses and feels familiar. ]

...Say. Where are you from?

[notyourbloodymessiah]

A city beneath the sea called Rapture. You could say I'm a mermaid.

[ you know, bethesda have tried to do a bioshock inspired vault multiple times. so. ]

[shotinhead]

Under th'sea, huh. Well, I'm from under th'dirt, you could say.

...

Not a dwarf, though. Too big for that. And too not-hairy. Just a dragon.

[notyourbloodymessiah]

Smaug lived in a mountain, you know.

[ if anything perrin's doing a terrible job at being a dragon. but that's okay. ] Why do you ask?

[shotinhead]

True, but I also didn't live in a mountain.

It's just... th'music you know. It's sorta similar to th'shit I'd hear back home.

[notyourbloodymessiah]

Well, it's probably a little out of date. We only got so much in Rapture.

[ and the city had been cut off from the surface save for black market operations run by fontaine since she was a girl, civil war notwithstanding. ] Do you have any similar tunes? Perhaps we're from similar places.
