[He would not pronounce galamwelelil right on the first try.]

Man-a-living, I hear you on that. I'm running a rescue mission myself.

[Flashes some records. King Crimson, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Runaways.]

I don't know if they'd care to go snapping LPs but my god, just the thought of it gives me the sweats.

[holyspirits]

[ they peer in interest at the record, though with no expression it's impossible to tell if there's recognition or not ]

They haven't yet, and it's not like we can't replace them eventually, but I hear you. Even with music streaming, people go nuts about records.

[gutterbound]

Streaming?

[Cants his head at the guy. Girl? Something in between?]

[holyspirits]

[ mysteries... ]

Oh, uh. Playing music using apps on a computer? [ in a tone like they are realizing they don't know if he knows. what a computer is. or apps. woops ]

[gutterbound]

[does the glow have big tatas]

...Oh, oh, like that "Spotify" thing? Laurence was talking about that.

[holyspirits]

[ im not answering that ]

Exactly like that. [ in a bit of a good job!! tone, which is maybe a tad condescending ] A lot of people used to argue it wasn't as good, but I think that movement died out as the world became more and more digitally focused.

[waits for trial eyes to activate

Also wow kind of squinting at this tone. He's not a dinosaur, come on man. ]

I guess I'll just die out then. Oh wait — I already have.

You're from a future Earth too then, I take it?

[holyspirits]

Ha.

[ it's a deadpan ha but it is a ha. ]

Future Earth works. There's a lot of different versions and timelines of it.

[gutterbound]

So I'm gathering.

[He clucks his tongue and shakes his head.]

It's a wonder my brains aren't leaking out of my ears. You all keep blowing my damn mind.

Whereabouts on this alternate Earth were you?

[holyspirits]

You've barely scratched the surface of that.

[ but it is teasing a bit. they stretch out ]

Hmm. Originally? California. You?

[gutterbound]

Oh, California now. Maine originally. Did a bit of time in the midwest as a teen too, but that wasn't my style. The West Coast called to me something fierce.

What'd you do out there? Before you ascended to holy camp counsellor.

[holyspirits]

I don't think I could've ever handled the midwest. Growing up, I could barely handle the other kids in California.

[ they tap their chin as they think ]

Mm... Robotics and engineering, then something of a spokesperson. What about you? What about the west coast called you so bad you moved there?
