If I had a guitar, I would second you in a heartbeat, Tsuzuki. You're pretty darn good.

[amethystsregret]

[AUDIO]

[albinoidiot]

You're good at that. I didn't know you had a talent for music.

[amethystsregret]

You didn't hear... that did you?

[AUDIO]

[albinoidiot]

Oh, well. In that case, I'm sorry.

[albinoidiot]

[amethystsregret]

[AUDIO]

[albinoidiot]

[AUDIO]

[albinoidiot]

[AUDIO]

[amethystsregret]

I'm sure one could be made...
