What's your favorite kind of music? I ask because I'm still catching up on what I missed back home, but I like discovering new things.


Action

[ During the first week or so of drift, thanks to mostly palling around on his own in the last system, Steve Grant seems slightly more at ease in his own skin now. He's still not the most talkative guy around, but he's working on that. A little. Mostly he can be found on board his own ship or at work, but sometimes he'll go to the gym at odd hours or settle down in the art room with some paints or a pencil and blank sheets of paper.

Less often, but when he's most restless and can't sleep, he'll just walk around and make maps in his head of where his fellow passengers are allowed. And where they aren't. ]

Comments

Sure. There's a popular band that tours everywhere back where I'm from.

[He makes a gesture with his hand, a sort of side to side movement.]

Not death metal like Blightboar. A little too dark for me. But a good stadium anthem, I'll take that.

[There are many kinds of axes in Azeroth.]

[unspangled]

[ He files that away, wondering if it's all elves or just this one. Into bands. ]

Two questions. What is death metal? And are you talking about the national anthem?

[hymnals]

[Ah, right. Almost everyone here was plucked from different worlds; different time periods. He doesn't know how that applies to this stranger, or why their knowledge is a mismatch, but he's always happy to educate. Insofar as his own perspective allows, anyway.]

Basically a bunch of people screaming about the apocalypse and flayed corpses. Gutters churning with filth. Maggots. Just think of the most disgusting images you can manage and that's a death metal lyric, somewhere.

And ...

[He shakes his head.]

No, not necessarily in the patriotic sense. More like a song that's designed to get everybody on their feet and yelling along.
