Someday maybe we can play it together?

[ there's piano, and there's violin, and there's bass notes. there's the flow of the turntables around and between them.

the suggestion is hesitant but it's not like he hadn't written it thinking of his friends, and of doing something they all loved together in person someday, instead of in pieces and parts over the internet, tracks sent back and forth and changed between them. ]

Yeah dude, definitely! [It's not as enthusiastic as a non-ill Egbert but he's doing his best. The idea is beyond exciting.] It would sound even better live. Do you think we will even find instruments in this universe though? Everything else I've seen has been hit and miss.

If worst comes to worst I can maybe try to draw some.

I believe you could draw a violin and maybe a bass, but I have doubts about a piano. But I guess I could settle for a keyboard.

I will take that as a challenge? Before our time here is up, Egbert, I will draw you a goddamn piano.

Is that before or after you win the embarrassment bet?

Bro, you got sick on crabs which you previously tried to rescue from the bathhouse.

I thought they'd be fine. I ate some of them with Jake earlier and he was fine.

Jade might have been, too. I think they both probably ate weird meats and maybe are a little more used to that kind of thing?

[ his best guess, but. shrug. ]

It is hardly my fault I did not grow up in the jungle like they did. And Jade probably fed weird stuff to her dog, too. So maybe you are right. But...it's only the first day. That means it can only get better now.

Yeah but it still means I won our bet and you owe me a favor?

I already made the brain-lamp. [It's grumbled, but.] Fine. Did you even think of what kind of favor you would want?

...I absolutely did not, but I'll come up with the best one ever and let you know?

Seriously? [WHY.] How could you come up with the dumb bet in the first place and not have a favor in mind already? [He's not that annoyed but Dave come on.]

I was just talkin' bullshit! What, like you had a favor in mind already?

Well no! But I thought you did since you are the one who brought up favors first? [A beat.] Then again I should have figured that out, I think.

[...] You can get back to me on that. Whenever we figure out stuff for my birthday. That should be enough time?

Dependin' on how long it takes you to figure out bday stuff. But I feel I should not ask a favor of you on your belated bday celebrations, so maybe like...the day after that?

I think I will think of something once we see what is really out there on the island. It's hard to make plans without knowing what's out there. But the day after would be okay. We have a lot of days, I think, so no rush.

I'd give a more exact timeframe, but for once I don't feel it.

Me either. [The responses are slower now since he's mostly nodding off but he's doing his best to stay up.]

Would you really figure out how to draw a piano? Because that sounds hilarious. [And also. Like. He'd be happy with that just for fun.]

I know how to draw one. I mean...I'm familiar enough with pianos to draw one. It's just a matter of drawin' one well.

[ dave's voice stays quiet and calm. he'll let john drift off whenever but will keep responding while john's responding? ]

[John Egbert doesn't always have the willpower to stay awake like Dave does, but at least he's not being put to sleep by outside forces this time.]

If you do I'll play you something awesome. And we can have a real jam session and everything. But I have no idea where we would put it.

Yeah, we might need a liiiiiiiittle more cabin space before we have room for a full on piano, admittedly.

Time. We have it. Maybe we can build like we did in the game.

You wanna make our cabins tall enough to breach the atmosphere?
