[unforgivably]

despite all the you's, I do

thank you for the consideration. I want something in between. so, we're friends, right?

[bardish]

we are
I mean I hope we are
are we?

[unforgivably]

I asked you. You should work on being more decisive. I hear that's an attractive quality. Not that you're not already attached.

[bardish]

yeah well....
ok you're not wrong, but it takes two to do the friendship tango, buddy

But if you're just asking me then yes we're friends :)

[unforgivably]

Then we're friends.

The arrangement we have, Peter's couch, it stays between us. I'm an uncontracted sub.

[bardish]

don't worry about it, I won't tell anyone
I was in the same boat when I first got here
besides if the wrong people find out, it's Peter's ass on the line. And probably mine too

[unforgivably]

I think I already know you too well because the whole your ass comment, you'd probably like it. am I wrong?

[bardish]

i'd give you partial points for correctness. i don't know if i'd like the CITY'S version of putting my ass on the line
public humiliation. not my thing!

[ But hey, some silly 'punishment' play with Peter is TOTALLY up his alley. ]

[unforgivably]

so where do you work?

[bardish]

subversion
performing and bartending

I'm thinking about branching out though
like going full time with the music

[unforgivably]

Of course it's Subversion.

You should. Do your own thing. Perform full time. Is it your voice or your instrument or the whole deal

[bardish]

yeaaaah... i guess it's kind of an awkward subject, all things considered

the whole deal
but to be honest? i'd rather just play guitar, let somebody else sing
man if i could get a band together here... that would be the dream, dude!

[unforgivably]

It's not. It's straightforward. Subversion was mine. Now it's not. See. Not awkward.

here's to your dreams, dude

[bardish]

ok well when you put it like that
straightforward
got it

look it might be a silly dream. TOTALLY unambitious! but it's something more than just surviving

[unforgivably]

maybe it is, but it's a dream. don't you think only you can decide if it's silly?

[bardish]

yeah, i agree with you on that

so what do you say? want to join the band?? ;)

[unforgivably]

I only play piano

[bardish]

which means you can play the keyboard
WHICH MEANS YOU CAN PLAY THE SYNTH!!! we could start a new wave band!!

[unforgivably]

I can't express to you how much I don't want to start a new wave band.

Cure coverband, MAYBE

[bardish]

well.... you probably COULD rock a sexy Robert Smith look

[ It comes with the VAMPIRE TERRITORY, right? ]

me? not so much

[unforgivably]

Robert Smith, while a great musician, is not who I'd be modeling myself after. I take offense to that, Jeff.

[bardish]

i'm just saying you can't do a Cure cover band without SOMEONE jumping on the Robert Smith grenade!

[unforgivably]

Why can't it be in the spirit of the Cure, Edward Scissorhands hair not included.
