You could probably pull off southern belle if you really tried. [He nods though.] What kind of something? I mean yes, duh, but that sounds like you have something in mind already.

[parodeity]

Mm. This friday, Yosuke's throwin' some music jam thing. There will apparently be pizza. I thought you might want to go?

[windeity]

Sure. Could be fun. [He's trying to think if he's met Yosuke and he hasn't looked at the network so no he knows nothing.] I could use the time to freestyle a little anyway and it's nice to hang out with other people, you know?

[A pause.] Elliot texted me the other day, too. Asked if I wanted to play for someone's wedding.

[parodeity]

That could be fun for you. [ confused, and with a shrug. he's never done weddings so much as bars and clubs, um. ]

But about the thing. There will be performances? If you wanted to do one together?

[windeity]

It's relevant to you, too, dude. He might need a DJ. [But that's all on Elliot and he'll let Elliot make that call later since there's the whole Rean thing, too.]

...that's something we never quite managed to pull off in that life either, did we?

[parodeity]

You can send him my stuff if you want. [ whoever "him" is; john has dave's music and mixes and shit, and he can send him examples of dj tracklists if need be. ]

I'm not sayin' we like, do an original thing in...four days. But we could play a duet or something for a song we know? If you want.

[windeity]

I don't think I need to, I think Elliot knows what your stuff sounds like maybe probably. It's not for a while, whatever. [But ANYWAY.]

That is definitely a thing we could do though, yeah. Both on piano then?

[parodeity]

It's what you're best at and what I can follow along with.

[windeity]

Then yeah. That sounds cool. [He's pretty much back in his comfort zone seeing how he's eating his dinner and leaning back against Dave's legs and eyeballing the glow in the dark stars on their ceiling.] We can probably agree on a song in four days. Or I can teach you something.

[parodeity]

Teach me somethin' like what? I figure we may as well do one of the ones we've played with already. [ john he's like crosslegged here how much in his lap is john... ]

[windeity]

[I like that you don't tell me these things and then they end up being even more gay than they started. So! I guess John's half-sprawled in Dave's lap and careful not to squish their kitten. Cool.]

One of the remixes stripped down? We have a couple of things we can use.

[parodeity]

[ I THOUGHT I DID BUT I GUESS I DIDN'T. when he sits on the bed with cat it is usually cross legged now u know ]

Clarify on whether you mean the shit we've sent back and forth that ain't original or that is.

[windeity]

How easy could you follow along with the original stuff that I've already sent you? Because unless you are implying we duet a Carly Rae Jepsen song I'm not sure what you'd like to do.

[parodeity]

Easily. [ but hm. he thinks about it for a second. ] We've sent back and forth stuff besides that, you know. Owl City might be less ridiculous.

[windeity]

[He's also fishing some fries out of the bag and offering them to Dave since they're there.] Yeah I know. That was just the first I thought of. I think I've sent you a few Owl City songs haven't I?

[parodeity]

I'd want more time to work on a duet for original stuff. [ explaining, since like, he'd like to...spend time on that. ] But yeah, you did. You can pick whatever from their playlist, I don't actually mind anythin' they have.

[ ...he will take one fry. ]

[windeity]

[Cool. One fry and some hot chocolate. At least it's something. Still, he's also wriggling his phone out of his pocket to pull up a playlist, flicking through it.]

...there is a song I really like that I think you could probably pick up easily? It's not one I sent you but I've been playing around with it myself.

[parodeity]

Ok, share.

[ he will take a second fry? there, we're cooking with fire now??? ]

[windeity]

[What if he just holds the container/bag of fries here and lets Dave take them as he feels like, will that work? Lord. But he grins and he doesn't say anything while he selects a song to play on the speakers through his phone.]

[parodeity]

[ "yo what the fuck" is a thought that definitely comes up, but dave just laughs, because that's kind of what he does when he has no idea what else to do. ]

Sure, why not? I'll even provide the vocals if you want.

[windeity]

[Look. It doesn't hurt that John actually liked the song prior to.../gestures. But he settles for a grin as he lets the song finish and it rolls into a different one. Apparently John just has a playlist for this shit.]

Yeah? I haven't really heard you sing much besides the once.

[parodeity]

This one. [ dave smirks, then shrugs. ] And that would be because I do not frequently sing for people.

[windeity]

What? I like this one. [He skips over Fireflies when it comes up since he knows Dave's aware of his feelings about that song, rolling into another.] You could probably pick anything you liked and I could either find sheet music or create something simple myself. It's easier for me to arrange stuff that already has a melody to follow.

[Hm.] But you'd be okay singing for the people at this thing?

[parodeity]

[ well dave likes "fireflies" even if the music inspired by dYING made him go "yo". ]

Yes. It's not a thing I mind doin', it's just not a thing I happen to do all that often. The first one's a little faster, might be more fun for a jam session.

[ also THIS ONE IS WAY MORE BLATANTLY...something. ]

[windeity]

[LOOK. And also double-look, John's also becoming Aware that a lot of his favorites are really weirdly romantic so. HAHA. LET'S BACKTRACK!]

Then we can do the first one. Like I said I have been playing around with it on and off between other stuff, I could probably teach you enough to follow along with me by Friday.
