[The feed crackles on, and out comes Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" at full volume. Someone found the Marsiva's music collection.]

Oh my god, why did no one tell me Taylor Swift gets good in the future?

[Once the song ends, she'll be playing the rest of the 1989 album. Sorry, Floots.]

[Filtered to the SS Paisley crew, and any other close friends.]

Hey, sound off. You guys all still in one piece?

[stefanged]

That would be because she never did.

[He's so rolling his eyes at her, and not even out of love this time.]

I always thought you'd like Halsey better.

[delincuente]

Bite your tongue, Alesci!

[She doesn't answer the second part right away. Instead, she sorts through the music collection until she finds Halsey's Badlands album. Because right now, she is eating up this future-media thing.]

Ugh, everything got better after I left. I'm so stealing these CDs.

[stefanged]

[He makes a clicking sound with his tongue - nope, he's not gonna back down from this one.]

You don't have to. I was gonna ask Kirito to help me charge my phone - there's some stuff from it I've been meaning to look at. Which might also include a ton of music.

[delincuente]

Oh man, not you too. Max is already trying to get me to convert to her music.

[timelapsed]

You know I can see all of this, right?

And I'm sure we've both got excellent tastes. [ i.e. not Taylor Swift ]

[delincuente]

I'm sure you do. Meanwhile, I'll be over here getting my lost teenage years back.

[timelapsed]

Hey, Alex, how old are you?

[delincuente]

Twenty. I've looked sixteen for awhile, though.

[timelapsed]

[ Okay. That's not. Too bad. ]

We're still pretty close, then.

[delincuente]

Yeah? How old did you think I was?

[timelapsed]

Like, my age? Eighteen-ish.

[delincuente]

Oh. That's not bad. From your reaction I was expecting worse.

[timelapsed]

It's just been really weird finding out that everybody I thought was my age was actually older.

[delincuente]

If it helps, I don't feel older than you. I mean, half the time I forget that I'm not still sixteen.

[stefanged]

I'll take anything over what we just listened to.

[He'll admit, it's catchy, but he also has a teenage sister who listened to that album long after it was welcomed in the Alesci household.]

Hey, you said you had your phone here? Do you have the charger too?

[delincuente]

Nope, no charger. I was just using magic to charge it for awhile. It could probably work on yours if Kirito can't work it out.

[stefanged]

Thanks, but... I'm already asking you for too much. It's not with me, anyways, so it'd have to wait until we got back.

[delincuente]

Hey, it's alright. It would take me, like, two minutes.

[And I'd do anything for you, she doesn't say.]

[stefanged]

Nah. I really shouldn't. [He sounds happier than before, though.]

But if you actually liked that garbage - there's another album of hers you should look up. Think it's called "Speak Now?"

[delincuente]

I'll do it for you anyway, you weirdo.

[The smile is audible.]

But thanks. You're a real pal.

[stefanged]

No problem. It's not my fault you have a surprising lack of taste when it comes to Earth music.

[It's a good thing this isn't a video feed, because he'd find it way too hard to hide the smile that's on his face.]

[delincuente]

I have a taste. It's called "whatever's loud and not boring".
