Sooooooo. Fair ladies, good sirs, ghoulies, ghosties, dead and undead alike. Fellow whatever we think we are? [ eddie get to the point here? ] How many of you play instruments and would want to jam?

I'm in a band back home and missing shred sessions. I just found my guitar back -- [ a pause and then he might sound like he's devastated and talking about a lost love. ] Not my sweetheart but my acoustic.

[ and if you're thinking he's not gonna give you whiplash and then sound eager, excited as fuck at the drop of a hat then you're wrong. ] Anyway, I'm really jonesing to play. Anyone in?

If you're into metal or rock even better but all musicians welcome. The place I'm staying at isn't big but there's abandoned buildings near by and the acoustics are killer. [ and because there's some manners under there? ] And if you're in, I'm Eddie.

You shall have to demonstrate, then.

What is that title?

[guitarpicks]

Eddie the Freak.

[rumination]

What a ridiculous title. Things people call you behind your back are not titles.


[ he'd be "little napa cabbage" and "big mantou" if he listened to people gossiping behind his back. ]

[guitarpicks]

they say it to my face too and i say it back at this point. it's sorta a badge of honor, actually.

[rumination]

People dare to say such things to your face?

[ no one would say anything like that to chu wanning; but then, most people also don't talk to him. ]

[guitarpicks]

have you ever gone to high school? [ eddie was on round three of his last year so he's got extra experience. ]

[rumination]

No.

[guitarpicks]

it's a battleground out there. people aren't nice to anyone who's different but fuck 'em.

[rumination]

High school is a battleground? I have been on those, although not designated as such. Places where battles occur, usually against demons.

[ that seems... odd but from what he's gathered, it's logical. ]

People are rarely nice even to those who are like them. Do their opinions matter, if that holds true?

[guitarpicks]

more or less, yeah.

wait.

DEMONS????? [ HOLD UP. ]

that's why i own the title. it can't hurt me then.

[rumination]

Yes? Is that surprising? I'm a cultivator.

[ people keep getting hung up on demons. are they that unusual? ]

Do you intend to own everything they say about you? Just ignore it, why bother even acknowledging it?
