[network] @PetertheGreat, Audio; Night 259 [Open] *Actual audio

[zunesareawesome]

DJ Star-Lord here, bringing you the stylings of my awesome collection of music. Apparently you guys are super-deprived, and I need to record my songs in case I can't get power to my Zune, so I'll be doing this probably from time to time.

But these are my songs, and I'm not parting with all of them just cause I feel sorry for you guys. If you want more, it's gonna cost you. Favors, actual stuff, money. I need food, a weapon, and most of all--a battery or a power source or something to recharge my Zune with. If there's a way to message privately on this thing, I can give you a song exclusively if you want. Then you can do whatever with it.

I haven't finished typing up my list of songs because it's stupid cold and my fingers are like icicles...I have a text file I can send with what I do have, or if you got a mood or somethin' in mind, I'm your DJ.

Anyway. Time to sit down, shut up, and listen.

[He plays the following songs, cutting the 'broadcast' off for a couple seconds before and after so that each song becomes its own individual audio file. The quality could be better, it sounds exactly like something played at full volume through earbuds held right up to a tablet, but it's better than nothing.]

Come and Get Your Love, Redbone
Hooked on a Feeling, Blue Swede
Fooled Around and Fell in Love, Elvin Bishop
Hotel California, Eagles
Respect, Aretha Franklin

You just became my new favorite.

audio

[zunesareawesome]

I should be everybody's favorite.

audio

[fanboyascended]

Depends on what else you have on that zune.

[ He says 'zune' like it's a slightly foreign word. ]

Too bad my phone's out of juice or we could trade.

audio

[zunesareawesome]

Too bad. [He sounds disappointed, who knows what kind of new and interesting music was out there.]

Well, we could always trade other things. Information, vague but binding favors I can call in at any time of the day...

@hexappeal, audio

[sleight_of_fate]

[Rhys chuckles, though it definitely comes after a long, dedicated silence while listening.]

Well, that's pretty mercenary. But I approve.

Hotel California, man. [He sounds almost reverent.]

I don't have much to trade just yet, but I might look you up. Depending on what you've got. You're new here too, aren't you?

audio

[zunesareawesome]

Hey, a guy's gotta eat.

Hotel California. [A knowing nod even if the other person can't see him.] I'm willing to trade ambiguous but ironclad favors, too.

Yeah, I just got here. You too, right?

[sleight_of_fate]

Yeah, right about the same time you did, or close to it, I think, but I was sort of busy trying to figure things out. I'm a little more settled now.

Fan of the classics, huh?

[zunesareawesome]

Tell me about it. This place is insane. And not in the good way, like this is insane. This is insane as in, we're-all-going-to-freeze-to-death-because-we're-suddenly-and-randomly-in-a-post-apocalyptic-earth-for-no-reason.

Dude. I live for the classics. I played the same cassette for years, until I got a second one.

@user; audio

[cosmicwords]

Oh, it's been a long time since I've heard some of those.

...I think we could all use more music around here. It has a way of lifting the spirits, doesn't it?

audio

[zunesareawesome]

Totally. Everyone here seems to need it like water. But that's how it goes, I mean, if I was in their shoes I'd be going nuts without music.

[cosmicwords]

I haven't been here long and even I miss it.

Perhaps we should all log on to the network sometime and just play music. Like...make instruments, sing...

Like what you are doing here but all of us.

It's a poor likeness of an actual musical gathering but better than nothing and it might at least give us the chance to ease our minds and bodies, even if just for a short time.

[zunesareawesome]

Some of you guys have instruments? That'd be sweet, actually. I'd dig it.

@godsend, audio

[termineur]

[ Sylar is in a pretty good mood tonight, and he sounds almost gleeful as he speaks. ]

Wow, you're going to have a big business here. What sort of things do you need- other than favors, of course? And where are you? Generally, I mean. Getting physical items to you might be sort of tough for some of us.

audio

[zunesareawesome]

I know man, people are trippin' all over themselves trying to get to my music! If only they had like, actual units or money or something I could take with me when we finally get out of this place, I'd be set. [A sigh at all the lost riches.]

Favors or more music or I don't even know what else, I gotta think on it. I really do need physical stuff though. Food's gonna be a problem, there's only like enough for a week in this pack.And I really need a blaster or gun or even a knife, I don't like not being without something to fight with. I'm near this big museum thing, someone gave me a map. I'm gonna try to head east.

[termineur]

Don't let anyone trade you for food. I mean, unless you're feeling lazy. There's places that restock food all over the map. In the residential area, the school has it, and the convenience stores. There's vending machines out east, they're kind of all over, so just keep an eye out. The only food that's real fresh is in the grocery store downtown, or so I hear. Never been there myself.

Knives are- well, they're had to find, but I'll keep an eye out. Is a blaster, like, a laser gun or something?

[zunesareawesome]

That's...good to know, but weird. Why would they be restocked? How...? I mean how could they get supplies to this town to get fresh food? Unless they were growing stuff in a bunker somewhere....

Yeah, space gun. Super cool.

[thewarningafter]

[Stephen immediately copies the songs over to his own playlist, but he's greedy for more.]

Any chance you got Interstellar Overdrive on that thing? Or anything off The Piper at the Gates of Dawn. What've you got for the Rolling Stones? David Bowie? Michael Jackson.

[There's a moment's pause, but he's struggling to cut it off.]

Whitney Houston.

permaaudio

[zunesareawesome]

Whoa, slow down there, Strangeface, let's set some ground rules first.

One. If I give you anything, you have to make an announcement to the whole network about how I'm awesome and you're not, and two, prices have gone up. Just for you.

[Because Peter's a jerk like that.

And he totally has Whitney Houston.]

permaaudio

[thewarningafter]

I am literally incapable of sustaining that kind of lie long enough to make a network post right now. What do you even want, here? What do you mean, prices went up -- it's a barter system if we're being generous enough to call it a system; the value of everything we trade is transitory.

...I've got music. My playlist for more of yours. It's all acoustic or voice, but I bet I have things you don't.

@Ecks | text | private

[ecks]

I want a song for Doctr House
secretly

private, audio

[zunesareawesome]

Sure thing! What kind of music is he into?

private | permatext

[ecks]

[agravating]

[You've piqued the interest of the last of the British Invasion, Peter. At least, the last if the ones who will bother talking to you. Mycroft is far too stuffy for music like this.]

I see you've moved on from your earlier musical misadventures, DJ Star-Lord. [She isn't laughing.

Okay, maybe she's laughing a little.] I haven't heard The Eagles in years. What else have you got?

[zunesareawesome]

[A smirk.] I got a lot of the classics, any kind of genre you like? Any certain artists besides the Eagles? Elton John? Prince? Survivor?

[agravating]

I'm a fan of classic rock but honestly I'll listen to anything--we don't have much of anything here, you know.
