7TH BEAT: AUDIO FOREVER

[audiens]

That much closer to the big three-oh.

Does anyone else get a little philosophical? Not all the time. Life keeps us busy enough, I think most don't pay attention to how time is moving. Then it's the new year, or a birthday. And ... uh...

...

Well, I'm not too good at philosophy.

I bought myself a record. And cupcakes. With sprinkles. On sticks

On sticks?

[audiens]

On sticks. A real mystery.

...The City has the weirdest things.

[guardianed]

I do apologize for picking out the weirdest part of your network entry; I hope your birthday celebration goes well.

[audiens]

They were good. Bite-sized, actually.

[audiens]

There's no need to apologize for something like that. Cupcakes on sticks are pretty stand-out. Thanks, though,

[guardianed]

Any bigger than bite size and the stick would serve no purpose whatsoever, I would imagine. They do stand out, in any case.

I didn't mean to intrude, that's all. But you're welcome.

[audiens]

I'm pretty sure there have been bigger things on sticks... but, with a cupcake that would get messy fast.

If I was worried about that, I'd have warded it. Did you want a drink on me?

[guardianed]

Food on sticks is an odd concept to start with.

Fair enough. ...Ah, no thank you, I'm fine.

[audiens]

There must be a convenience factor. .. Or an aversion to utensils factor.

If you're sure. Most of the "attendees" are just kids, so tea's an option.

[guardianed]

It must be the latter, I can't imagine they're that much more convenient.

...I would imagine most of the attendees are also good friends of yours.

[audiens]

Well, you can walk and eat!

... Good point.

[guardianed]

I could count on one hand the number of times I've wished I could walk while eating my food.

Another time, perhaps.

[audiens]

But you can count them.

Sounds like a plan.

[guardianed]

...I may have to rescind that comment.

Very well.

[audiens]

I'll allow it, but only this once.
