You're Kazuki, right? From the data app... You can call me Vash since I'm not working at McDonald's anymore. [ But of bands. ] It's likely you've never heard of them, but Sundown Bandits and Grand Summit. When I still had my Walkman, I played their cassettes all the time.
There's also this kind of folk-ish country song I'm fond of, but I don't know where it's from.
You used cassettes? They must be pretty old, then... [ bro what ] I don't know them, but I'll look them up if we get access to a music store. They should have CDs or something, too, right? Or at least a record.
[ he will dive into the music archives to give them a shot ]
Folk songs just kind of happen, don't they? There's probably not any one origin for something like that.
A buddy of mine was being a hardass about me not getting paid.
[ So, yeah, he quit to avoid getting nagged. ]
That's what No Man's Land tech is like, even though our ancestors crashed onto the planet in spaceships. Not everything survives. [ A shrug. ] Maybe they'd have a vinyl...?
I did hear that the folk song came from the old world, before the space travel. [ Thoughtful. ] Hey! Since I shared some bands with you, you should name some for me.
No Man's Land? Spaceships...? [ ARE NONE OF YOU NORMAL. god, okay, what if we just. talk about music. that's easier than all this sci-fi stuff. ] It... won't hurt to check, if we can find a place. I bet you'd like to hear them again, too, right?
[ crosses his arms to think about this. hm. he would definitely name isshiki's band if i could remember what it is but anyway ]
Flumpool and Alexandros aren't bad. Bloodthirsty Butchers are good if you're into older stuff, too.
I kind of lost my Walkman in an accident and I didn't always have access to a satellite, so yeah. I'd love to hear them and these bands you're mentioning!
[ It's fine. Vash will listen to all of the recommendations. The rave dies down. ]
... But on a serious note, it seems like you're doing all right? With all of this.
[ mouthing "satellite?" because bro? spaceships and satellites? when do the aliens make an appearance? ]
I'll pick them out for you if we find a music store... maybe some others, too.
Not well enough to want to work at McDonald's for "fulfillment." [ but anyway. ] What are you expecting? We can't exactly do anything right now. Might as well go about our lives as well as we can.
[ he's probably just decided this is a bad dream or something tbh ]
It is crazy. Different worlds, death and revival - it's like a show that can't pick a plot line.
[ his tone shifts from sardonic to sullen with a soft sigh. ]
But if we're dead, we're dead. It's not going to do any good to freak out about it now, is it? Might as well just hang out at a bowling alley with weird taste in music and try to enjoy it while we can.
I'm with you on that. I've been just enjoying whatever amenities here, though the game is on my mind. [ He takes a bite of bowling alley pizza. ] You're not revved up for a second chance?
Yeah. Our concert got interrupted right before I woke up here, so we'll have to reschedule it and try again. [ ... ] And I guess I might be joining a band, if it goes well next time.
[ he doesn't seem as enthused about that as he maybe should be. but anyway. ]
My friends are counting on me for that, so I don't want to let them down. But I know I'm not the only one who feels that way, either.

[ shoves that aside though bc he said something way more important ]
So you like rock music, Val-san? Do you have a favorite band, or song?

Mostly a little more... I don't know. Worry? Concerns? This is crazy, if you asked me! McDonald's was partly a way of coping.
[ Pretending this is all a bad dream is valid. ]

no subject
They could stand to give us more amenities than this. It's pretty weird to be stuck in such a small district in the middle of the city.
[ shrugs! ]
It's not that I don't want it. I'm just not going to get my hopes up, either.

[ His drifting from saloon to saloon... ]
Wow, the laidback nonchalant aura is very cool.
no subject
[ those are not the same reasons ]
...I wouldn't say I'm that laidback. I'm just trying to be realistic.
no subject
[ Somehow, this outs him as not being one of them.,/small> ]
You're still going to give it your all, right?
no subject
I don't see why not. I still want to go home, even if the chances are low. I've got things to do, same as everyone else.
no subject
Those things got to do with music?
[ He just shoots an easy shot since he did glaze at profiles, plus they had a rather decent babble about bands! ]

no subject
Yeah, I think the important part going into this is to remember everyone is returning to something. It won't make it any less messy, though.
no subject
[ he's not convinced. ]
no subject
[ Vash seems to brighten a bit more at that. It seems he is one to hope, too. ]
no subject
I guess everyone needs a reason to keep going. Otherwise, it's all pointless.
