Voice

[ourworldnow]

[A young, cheerful voice comes over the airwaves, accompanied by the idle strumming (for now) of a guitar.]

Helllllo Santa Rosita. Louis here- just arrived and happy to be alive. Let’s skip the normal oh my god, what even bit for now. I’ve come, I’ve seen, I ate at the lunch party. Hey there, new mom and dad!

I have a much more important moral quandary for all you good people. It’s 1961, yeah? And, uh, I’m from not then. I don’t even know if my original flavor parents are alive yet. Meaning we are in prime Marty McFly problems zone.

[The idle strumming suddenly switches to (an acoustic version) of the opening notes of Smoke on the Water]

Would it be, like, totally wrong to record future hits and make a ridiculous amount of money?

[Now it’s the opening notes of Stairway to Heaven]

I’d have to stick to whatever rocks these old guys socks, I know, I know. So more like-

[He switches to Yesterday]

Oh, I believe in getting paid….

[The guitar playing stops suddenly as he laughs.]

Whadda ya think? Anyone ready to form a band? Yes? No? Get a lawyer? Give a guy some feedback.

Anyway, here’s Wonderwall.

[He’s going to play through that whole song (though not sing) if no one answers. Save the good people of the town and tell him to stop.]

I'm still recruiting! I need a drummer and bass guitarist. The lead singer is only extra sexy when there's those loser to compare him to.

[inpersonation]

[ noelle is quick enough to have her snicker come across as a giggle. ]

I hope you find someones for those roles! It's always important to have backup. [ quite literally, too, for a band always needs backup. ] If anyone expresses interest, I'll make sure to lead them to you, Louis!

And you don't even need to worry about a headhunting fee. AS your first official groupie, consider this on the house.

[ourworldnow]

Hey, hey. I'm not that cheap. You'll be paid in love, of course. And left over snacks.

[inpersonation]

Aw, you're being so generous! Thank you. I'll make extra sure to scream loud when you hold a show.

Are you planning to do this live anytime soon? Or is this a special thing just for us first fans?

[ourworldnow]

I've got to wait to get the band together and for a special occasion- some kinda school dance, maybe? Or a talent show where we win the respect of our rivals with our passion is pretty classic.

[inpersonation]

Ohhh, the talent show portion would be a lot more climatic!

[ cheesy as fuck, yeah, but noelle can dig the aesthetics this guy is going for. ] If a talent show is spoken about or mentioned, I'll make sure to alert you and the band! You guys are going to rock it, I just know it!
