[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?

Comments

[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".

[stefanged]

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the screaming hides their inability to sing.

[delincuente]

[She actually laughs at that.]

Hey, you're probably right. But I don't listen to Ugh for their music. I listen to them because they wear Viking costumes and throw meat, and that's hilarious.

[stefanged]

You knew a band that threw meat at their audience.

[There's a longer than usual pause for him, before--] Seriously, how did they not get sued?

[delincuente]

It was New York City. You can't just sue everyone who throws weird stuff.

[stefanged]

["It's New York City" kind of answers every sad question he had about this band.]

Sometimes, that place might as well have inhabited a different planet.

[delincuente]

Maybe it did. Maybe I've always been an alien, and I didn't know it.

[stefanged]

Nah. If you were an alien, trust me - I would've known by now.

[delincuente]

Maybe part of my alien powers is to be undetectable to your vamp senses.

[stefanged]

If I had them, which I don't, then maybe.

[Careful: he's not out to the rest of the crew yet.]

[delincuente]

Oh, yeah. If you, a normal human, had some kind of alien-sensing abilities, et cetera.
