And now for something completely different

[failgoyle]

Okay, so I've been spending a lot of time in Liminal since every time I go out, I get harassed by wind spirits...

...but I think I just lit upon something really awesome while hiding in the Workshop!

[What follows next is a musical interlude played on computer parts.]

Comments

[tailforbrains]

So like. Demons or minor gods or something.

[She's trying to understand, okay. It just isn't part of her particular worldview.]

[failgoyle]

...that's probably a better comparison, yeah.

[There's a shudder.]

[tailforbrains]

Okay, demons suck. I mean, my great-granddad or somebody was one, and that's been nothing but trouble for me.

I met a few once. They were pretty awful. So if demons kidnapped you, I guess, um, I'm sorry?

[She's not great at sympathy, but comparing them to demons makes it more personal.]

[failgoyle]

Thanks. It was pretty awful...

[Change of topic! Need to have a change of topic! He grabs a keyboard.]

But, anyway, here's Wonderwall.

[The hard drives start cranking out a cover of that song, just as he says.]

[tailforbrains]

[She looks at them blankly.]

What's a wonder wall?

[failgoyle]

It's, uh, the name of the song that's playing now. Wonderwall.

[tailforbrains]

Is it about a wall?

[Enjoy having someone completely unaware of modern pop music, Jules.]

[failgoyle]

I...uh...

[There's a little muttered singing under his breath as he goes through the lyrics, and...]

...I'm not actually sure what it's about.

[tailforbrains]

Then why did you decide to make the little disk things play it?

[She doesn't really care all that much, but Jules is fun to needle at a bit.]

[failgoyle]

I don't know, I just did!

It's just a song!

[And needling him is so easy, too.]

[tailforbrains]

[It really is. It's a fun pass-time.]

Oh, calm down. Gods, you over-react to everything, even me asking you a question about a song.

[She looks amused rather than annoyed, though.]

[failgoyle]

I'm not overreacting!

[There he goes overreacting to being told he's overreacting.]

[tailforbrains]

[Which she is totally going to point out.]

Says the guy over-reacting to being told he's over-reacting.

[failgoyle]

I'm not overreacting!

[He totally is.]
