R1 DEADLAND PT2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

[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.]

[ Ah... you know what? Why not. Maybe Hank didn't actually intend to sign up, but he can't say no now. Sucks to be nice, Hank. ]

Yeah. Music is good like that.

[ Hank smiles. As an (maybe recovering) alcoholic he actually totally appreciates that. ]

Guess it wouldn't hurt to learn more than just a few chords.

[12d3]

[Somehow, the musician looks even brighter than he already did hearing that and he leans over the table towards Hank a little, super excited.]

I could teach you how to sing, too!

[He's making a jab at Hank, his smile turning a little bit teasing.]

[donotlick]

[ Gosh, who could be a grump when 2D is so excited???

Oh, yeah. Hank. ]

Wha-- hey! I can sing!

[ Gotta get fake mad when you're being fake-teased, yeah. ]

[12d3]

[That gets a laugh from 2-D and he settles back down again.]

I know, I know. I'm just joshin'.

[He picks up his cup of hot tea, taking a sip before excitedly continuing.]

I think you'd look great on a guitar, though. And-- oh! We could start a duo! Like Sonny and Cher!

[donotlick]

[ Hank laughs with a snort, nearly spilling his coffee. ]

Shit. Which one of us is supposed to be Cher?

[ Please note he is smiling at this. This is a ridiculous mental image.

[12d3]

Hmmm...

[That's a good question. Obviously the answer would be him, because he'd go off and do a solo act but Also:]

I'd say you. You've got those hips.

[donotlick]

[ Hank has to put his coffee down now. He's laughing too hard. ]

Aw, shucks. Thanks, buddy. I'll have Connor start making me a wig.

[12d3]

You'd look lovely with Cher's hair.

[He means that genuinely, and he drinks a little more of his tea.]

Though that gets me to wonder.. what would the band be if we did start one? I've always thought about what I'd name a band if I could, but Murdoc said my names were rubbish so we went with Noodle's idea.

[donotlick]

Might bet getting a little ahead of yourself there.

[ Hank snickers again. Yeah, good luck getting him into a dress, 2D. ]

What kinda names did you have in mind?

[12d3]

Oh, loads.

[It's been 20 years since he thought of them, but he starts listing them off as if it was yesterday.]

"Human People", "Band of the Dead", "Zombiez Eat Brainz", "Blue Blue Blue", "Conspiracy is a Theory", "The Bloody Band from Nottingham" though... that wouldn't have been allowed because of the curse word in it. Plus, I'm from Crawley.

[Still... he continues.]

"Cold Luck", "Organs Are People Food", "Walt Disney's Frozen Head", "Meat Patrol", "2-D and the Three Dimensions".... get it? 'Cos there's three other band members? Not that my name stands for "Two Dimensional" or anythin', it just sounds nice.

[donotlick]

[ Hank nods along to the list. ]

Shit, you've been holding onto these, haven't you? Which one's your favorite?

[12d3]

[2-D offers a cheeky little grin, with a dumb little proud chuckle.]

I dunno, really. I like all of them, but the ones that Murdoc hated the most are the ones I end up liking more. Mostly 'cos they piss him off.

[He's capable of being a little shit sometimes.]

tfw I thought I'd tagged this

[donotlick]

Fuck that guy in particular, if you ask me.

[ Yeah, he strangled him right? Not cool. Hank hates him on your behalf, 2D. ]

I think I like Human People the best. If only because the joke is we're fucking digital now.

oh worm

[12d3]

Ha! Yeah, fuck 'im. That bloody goth is probably chuffed as a kid on Christmas now that I'm dead.

[The simulation version of Murdoc looks in their direction, an annoyed expression on his face but he's not nearly as lively as he should be so that's about all they get from him.]

I do like that too, quite a lot actually.

[donotlick]

[ Deal with it, fake-Murdoc. Hank gives him the finger for good measure. ]

So, wanna go for it, then? I mean, I can't fucking play so we're seriously gettin' ahead of ourselves here, but. Y'know. It's the thought that counts or some shit.

[12d3]

[you know what i just realized


this is the wrong thread


there is no murdoc here


im extremely dumb]

I'd love to! Human People are gonna top the charts! Which.. well, it helps there aren't any charts to top in the first place.

[donotlick]

[ shhhhh time is liminal, we don't care about continuity in this deadland ]

Hey, best by default's still a win if you ask me.
