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.]

Hm, we're a little early for ska, but maybe we can make it work. It's not too late for big band. We can scoop half of Tony Bennett's discography.

And so long as I don't have to build it? Shed it up, paps.

[spaghettimonster]

Sigh. I should have guessed, home improvement just won't be one of our bonding activities...

[Given that he's saying the word sigh, it is a very faked tone of disappointment. There's plenty for them to get to know each other over that's still Classic Father & Son enough to placate any neighbors who might be checking their conformity.

But still. Enjoying the fruits of labor without doing the labor itself... Just like his very-real and longterm uncle.]

But, what's ska like?

[ourworldnow]

I am more than happy to supervise and add my own flair to the effort! Just you got the hammering and sweaty stuff, yeah?

And...loud? I guess is the word?

[spaghettimonster]

Loud, huh...?

[If Papyrus is an expert in anything, it's being loud. Obtrusive is his middle name.]

I can already see the 'family resemblance' between you and Sans... So, with a life time of gotting it, I've got it.

[ourworldnow]

Besides our amazing good looks, you mean?

[spaghettimonster]

Pshhhh. I happen to be the s-- superbly good-looking brother in the family, thank you!

[ourworldnow]

Can we just I agree I got all the next gen good looks? Sorry fake cousin, I'm claiming it.

[spaghettimonster]

All of them?? No, that's way too many! You have to share some.

[But nobody's saying it has to be a 50/50 split. Sorry Sayori.]

[ourworldnow]

She'll have to win them back fair and square. I'm always down for cards.

[spaghettimonster]

Putting your good looks on the line, as the bet for a card game... I don't know how that would work.

[Is this some sort of Ice Cap thing, seriously changing their looks around in the right circumstances? Or is Louis just screwing around. Given the previously mentioned Sans resemblance, he's betting (but not betting his own good looks) on the latter.]
