[network] @PetertheGreat; The Day The Music Died Part 2; Video; Morning 399 [open]

[zunesareawesome]

[Now that everything seems to be working again...sorta, it seems like the tablets are on the fritz which is...terrifying considering that's the only thing that's got any music left.]

Hey uh...

...look I'm not really big on apologies but I just wanna let you all know that I'm back to normal now and...and-- [This is hard.]

--I'm sorry for acting like a complete butthead.

So if you didn't see, the idiot evil version of me broke my Zune. And that means no more music, except what we got on the tablets. And now the tablets are freaking out so that's just great.

The Zune was...important to not only me, but to all of us. It's been there for me, us, during the worst times ever. And even if it's gone, it won't be forgotten. [Is this a eulogy? Maybe.]

Anyway, if you got links to any music, maybe we can put 'em all together here in one big thing. Cause that's all we got left.

[He's not about to cry, no.]

@hexappeal, video

[sleight_of_fate]

[Oh, Peter.]

I'm sorry, man. I would have stopped you, but I wasn't there.

[Yes, he totally could take Peter in a fistfight, shut up. Rhys is a mean little fucker.]

I've got some music on my tablet that you sent out, and sent directly to me. I'll get them to you if I can.

And...the a capella stuff, too. "Highwayman", "Ain't No Grave", and "Have You Ever Seen The Rain".

[zunesareawesome]

I know you would've tried.

[A wan smile--he appreciates the sentiment, dude, but he's pretty sure he could take you.

Maybe.

Sorta.]

Thanks, man. And...the song, the song you did? That was really awesome of you, I didn't get a chance--well, I was too evil to appreciate it, but I do now and...and thanks.

[sleight_of_fate]

{Well, okay, actually Rhys would probably not win that fight, but he'd make a mess of it. He's a nasty little shit who bites, scratches, and knows nerve points.

It would have been worth a beating anyway, if he could have saved Peter's Zune.]

Thanks. My not-human side is pretty mean, too. So...I get it.

I uh, you know. It's quiet out here, so I sing a lot. I've managed to remember quite a few songs, I've got a good brain for remembering words.

So...I might have some others for you in the future. Just...at least it's something. Makes the time pass.

I have Smoke on the Water, which I know you played just for me. That's in my files too.

Sorry-not-sorry for saying I'd be willin' to fight you. You were bein' an ass, and I'm definitely still up to do it, but if you stay in your goddamn corner, it'll be fine. Don't think I have any music, though. At all.

[zunesareawesome]

I mean, I was kinda sorta super evil, so no hard feelings about it, bro.

Seriously? Don't you like music?

[himalayanyeti]

Seems to happen to you a lot. You sick or somethin'? Does it just kinda turn up sometimes? But nah, I'm not too big on music. It's alright, I reckon, but whatever.

@Enoch, voice

[warriorscribe]

[Oh no, he finally makes his way outside and braves locking himself out of the bunker again and this is what he finds...]

I have the songs you sent from karaoke night. I could also try singing some, if you remember the lyrics. It won't be the same as the original performance, of course, but...if that offer is appealing, I wouldn't mind doing it for you.

[zunesareawesome]

[Aw man, Enoch. That's just...so nice of you Peter might cry right here and now.]

You'd do seriously do that for me?

[A pause and a sniff.]

Also uh...thanks for tryin' to talk me down. I was kinda horrible and you were a trooper so...thanks.

[warriorscribe]

Of course. All of your other self's threats hinged on you thinking there was nothing here for you, but...well, I suppose we both know for certain it isn't true.

I'm sure I can get others to help me with the melodies. We'll restore your music collection somehow.

[It feels good to be of some use to someone for once. And maybe the singing will lift the spirits of the people inside the bunker!]

@Spoiler; audio

[spoileralert]

I've saved every music link I've ever gotten.

[ However Alex has not, so in place of individual links all she can offer is this, which is probably roughly the same. ]

[zunesareawesome]

[Peter is the most grateful.]

Hey, thanks, that's...really nice. [He's not tearing up or anything he's f i n e.]

Uh, and sorry for being a total jerk back there.

[spoileralert]

[ Please don't cry, she can't deal with a grown man crying. ]

Don't worry about it. I was goading you on purpose. Thought it might distract you for a little while.

@guardian, audio

[headjacked]

Did Asshole-You keep his end of the bargain and save the pieces?

[ Using Angel's tablet to keep his clean, hence no cheesy dicks. ]

I know I'm assuming I won the bet, but. It's a very fair assumption.

[zunesareawesome]

[Who are you, mystery familiar voice who should be Angel but is not.]

Yeah, surprisingly, he did?

[He shows him the pieces on the screen in his hands. He's holding them like they're precious, which they are, even if right now it's just cracked plastic and metal chunks.]

You think you can do something with it? It's pretty smashed up.

[headjacked]

Woof.

[ That looks supremely ungood, my dude. And Rhys is glad he isn't mirroring Peter with video, because his expression is pretty doubtful.

But he is the guy who fixed a broken screambot. For some reason. Crazier things have happened, and he needs something to work on. ]

I'm not gonna lie and say no problem, but as long as it isn't dust, there's a chance. If anyone here can get it back together, it's me.

@LELRIC; audio

[armoured]

I'm really sorry about your music, uh, Zune.

[He'd never been one of the people that had been too fussed about music on the network, but he's seen enough to know how much it meant to other people. Especially Peter.]

I could look back through my archive and find the music other people have played publicly, if that helps?

[zunesareawesome]

Thanks, man. That would actually be super helpful and nice of you.

[Also because Peter often couldn't sit still long enough to dig too far through the network.]

[rubikscomplex]

pretty sure strange has most of it
if stiffi's list doesn't cover it

find me a guitar
i can probably recreate a lot of what you lost
acoustic style

[zunesareawesome]

Seriously?

[Stop, stop making him warm up to you, dude. He wants to hate you, please, even though he's pretty sure this is 100% self-serving to House, somehow.]

I am literally putting 'guitar' on my number one list of things to find like, right now.

[...an awkward pause.]

And thanks for trying to defeat my evil twin with music. That was...pretty awesome.

Good job

[zunesareawesome]

I hate you.

@clowncutie92; voice

[clowngirl]

I only got a coupla songs. Evil-You is a massive jerkface for killin' the tunes.

[zunesareawesome]

That's all right. And seriously? Like, of all the mean things to do. Complete jerkface.

@Mnemosyne; voice

[bookofnope]

Clarity is odd, isn't it?

[Just a bit of musing from one immortal with a track record of lost humanity to another. Noooo snark here.

Maybe a teeny bit of snark.

Teeny.]

[zunesareawesome]

[Dude. He can hear your snark from space. Or at least like, the very top of the atmosphere where sound is still possible. Nearest space-equivalent.]

You come here to gloat? Cause I ain't in the mood to hear it.

[Jerk.]
