"Take a seat, take a seat!"

He waves at a little couch and scurries over to the piano.

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

[Awkwardly going and finding a seat!]

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[socialcapital]

It's a comfy seat. Totality stars going through a rough draft of a song; some of the elements in it are recognizable as motifs that would later show up in Solar Circle hits, but some elements never made it into the modern discography. It's not super polished but it's full of enthusiasm and passion and Totality is still really talented.

Afterwards he turns to look at you.

"What do you think?"

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

[He listens attentively, though eventually, his gaze drifts generally grounds-ward.]

Yeah... that's what musical genius'll do for you...

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[socialcapital]

"Eh? Genius? No, no, I just really like music..."

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

We're about the same age and you know multiple instruments and you're composing-?!

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[socialcapital]

"Um- well, I spend basically all my free time on it! Other people are good at sports and stuff but I have music. I bet there's things you're better than me at!"

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

I mean maybe but I don't think just anyone can get that good so quickly even if you really like it!

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[socialcapital]

"Well... it helps though!"

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

It's still amazing though!!

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[socialcapital]

He flusters a bit.

"Well-- well thanks! I really hope people like it when they hear it."

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

People are gonna love it.

Soooooooo many people are gonna love it.

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[socialcapital]

"Haha, only if I keep working hard though, I think..."

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

Do you want to keep working hard and stuff?

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[socialcapital]

"Of course! That's the only way to make dreams into reality!"

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

What's your dream?

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[socialcapital]

"Um... well, I want a lot of people to hear my music and like it. It's really personal to me so... um, yeah!"

He looks a bit embarrassed like. He knows it's basic. He can't help it.

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

That's a real artist mindset if I've ever heard one!

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[socialcapital]

"Ehehe. Maybe one day I can call myself a real artist!"

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

I'm pretty sure you already are??

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[socialcapital]

"Right but like. Officially!"

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

So you're the type who only believes people are artists if they get famous.......

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[socialcapital]

"Um- no! I mean, in general, anyone who does art is an artist, I just feel weird calling MYSELF that unless I've actually like. Released something that people can listen to."

Re: [ PAVEMENT ]

[justonezero]

Whhhhhhy?
