R1 DEADLAND

[lockdownmods]

[it’s strange, for the people who were already dead, the shift in scenery is sudden and complete. For those who have just arrived? It’s like you’re back where you left?

How strange.

But if you ever need her, you can always reach out to the guardian of this place.]

[ Hank snorts. He's definitely feeling pretty good after belting it out on stage, and he has to admit it's nice to see 2D crack a smile too. ]

Told ya. Singing ain't my thing.

[ Somehow the praise embarrasses him more than the criticism though, and Hank finds himself blushing and shoving 2D right back. ]

Don't gotta sugarcoat it for me. I'll stick to rhythm guitar and backup vocals from here on in.

[The shove knocks 2-D back a little bit, being a twig and all and he stumbles a little with a laugh. He straightens himself back up, with a very excited look in his eyes.]

You can play?

[youve done it now hank youve shown your hand]

[donotlick]

[ Aw, fuck, he's stepped in it now. ]

Eh, a little I guess. I know a couple of chords, that's about it.

[ He'll be sure to knock you down next time, 2D, don't try him!! No one must find out that Hank is actually a nice, sensitive dad!! ]

[12d3]

Some of the best songs are made with just a couple of chords! It's all 'bout how you use 'em.

[He's not about to throw a guitar at Hank though if he doesn't want to play, but he still definitely looks very excited.]

[donotlick]

I mean I can play old shit. The Beatles and stuff, I was always into the classic stuff, growing up.

[ He keeps talking mostly because it's helping 2D and mostly because when he's embarrassed he can't seem to shut up. And ohhh, this is definitely embarrassing, he was probably in a band in high school, don't ask, 2D. ]

[At the mention of The Beatles, 2-D's mind immediately goes to Blackbird. That execution.. the strangling feeling around his throat... he ends up clearing his throat on instinct at the image of it, and his smile looks a little awkward but it's fine this is Fine.]

I was really into the more "oldies" kinda music, too. The Human League, The Specials, The Clash... lots of bands have "the" in the name of 'em, don't they?

[donotlick]

[ Sorry 2D........ Hank's more of a Hey Jude kinda guy, he'll never listen to that one quite the same way. Let's just move on from that particular memory, eh? ]

Yeah, they all thought it was pretty cool, huh? Weren't you guys The Gorillaz?

[12d3]

[That gets an amused looking grin spread on 2-D's face, and he shakes his head.]

Nah, man. We're just "Gorillaz". But it sounds nicer with the... the "The", doesn't it?

[donotlick]

[ That's a lot of "the"s Hank snickers. ]

Makes you sound all important. Guess that's probably why all those other bands went for it.
