You guys are frakkin' awesome, okay? All of you. Well, mostly all of you. But basically back home was really shit. Like, way more shit than the shit stuff that happens here. And I'm not saying it doesn't suck sometimes, because it does, but... y'know. I have a job, I have-- okay, here's the thing. This place? Half the time it's like living in a

[sempreadagio]

You're in a good mood.

[illgrowoutofit]

Jill. Thanks so much for helping me with... stuff with Lucy. And, y'know, for not thinking I'm weird and stuff.

[Not that he's doing a whole lot to help that case right now.]

[sempreadagio]

You're welcome, Neil. And you're not the definition of weird in my book.

[illgrowoutofit]

Thanks. What d'you call weird?

[sempreadagio]

Pretty much me.

[illgrowoutofit]

You're not weird. Er, if you are it's in a good way.

[sempreadagio]

Well... thank you... but I'm... okay, thanks.

When Lucy sees this on the network it'll make her smile.

[illgrowoutofit]

Y'think so? That'd be cool. Lucy's awesome. My life would suck a lot more without her.

Hey uh, I was gonna ask you something but it seems really weird after you've already done so much for me.

[sempreadagio]

She is awesome. My life would suck without her too.

Ask anything. I want to help.

[illgrowoutofit]

Okay uh, so you play the piano, right? I was kinda wondering if you'd ever done like, I dunno, more keyboard-y stuff.

[sempreadagio]

Yeah, I've worked with keyboards. And I even played some chords for a final project for this guy who was a guitar major. He tried to mix classical and rock and it really turned out well although I had my doubts to begin with. Have you ever played?

[illgrowoutofit]

Whoa, really? That's awesome!

Uh, nah, I don't play. I mean, piano. Bass, a little bit. Guitar in theory, 's long as it's only one note at a time and not, like, chords. And I kinda sing. And uh, write songs sorta, lately. Which is... thing is, I've been kinda wanting to start a music project, kind of an experimental sorta thing, and I kinda wondered if you'd be interested in helping with that.

[sempreadagio]

Oh. Yeah, yeah I could help with that. I love music. What kind of project is it?

[illgrowoutofit]

It'd be a set of like, fourish original songs, plus some covers, done all... kinda alternative-y with synth leads. You ever listen to New Order?

[sempreadagio]

I never have. Do you have some of their music here? We could probably find some so I can get an idea and then from there we could come up with the music we want.

[illgrowoutofit]

Hold on, I think I might have a few tracks.

[After a moment, he sends across this and this.]

First one's New Order, the other one's Rogue Wave. I'm thinking that kinda feel, only sorta less produced, little more of a singer-songwriter vibe.
