[ here, exsilium, have a french accent. he also sounds perturbed, but it's better than his awful text messaging capabilities so you're welcome. ]

I have been told to update my musical tastes. I was also told that music by the orchestral group–[ this seems like he's having difficulty with the pronunciation ]–Evanescence–was befitting what was assumed to be my taste.

I cannot find this music on the Internet.

Curiously there are no albums on the Internet that do not pre-date 1999. [ his voice gets smaller, like a mutter to the side. ] I have not yet run out of Depeche Mode albums, so this entire feat seems irrelevant. My music is satisfactory, however–

I require your recommendations, for the sake of curiosity. [ he mumbles something again, though it is in French and off-record. ]–but apparently it must be from the nineties.

[ EVERYTHING IS DUMB!! azrael just huffs and hangs up, then. ]

[ You are hurting his little music soul here. ]

Depeche Mode? Evanescence? Where is the real music?

[vampirique]

Depeche Mode is fine music.

What is your definition of "real music"?

[onemoredeath]

Most are in Japanese.

You do know Japanese, don't you?

This needs to be fixed. [ A TONE OF UTMOST SERIOUSNESS!!! ]

Maybe we can find something in the library.

[vampirique]

I had rather thought everything fine on its own.

[ huff. ]

Certainly, you're welcome to browse the library. [ what is this we ]

[sithiche]

I thought you wanted me to help you dig your way out of Anachronism Theatre.

Well, the 90s haven't happened for me yet.

I'm pretty into Elvis Presley and the Beach Boys, though.

[Speaking of people whose musical tastes might need an update...]

[ Azrael will regard her curiously, before he seems to smile a little bit. ]

American music. I was not there for it, but I had listened to it frequently.

Haven't happened for you?

[studieswaitressing]

Yep, straight out of the 1960s. I think it's a real disadvantage sometimes.

[She shrugs her shoulders. Just try not to make a big deal out of it, right?]

There are music shops around the city. They have a lot of music there.

[vampirique]

I had not thought to look. Have you seen many of them?

[ a startled headtilt, the little silver charms he has decorating his antlers chiming faintly with the movement. ]

I'm not certain I know what.. ah, what the problem is with having musical tastes that.. that tend toward older things. [ he offers a slight, bashful smile. ] Though perhaps I'm not the best person to ask. [ being a half-breed. ] One of my favourite artists, though, is Edith Piaf. I think she just gets better over the years.

[ yes, he heard that french accent. ]

[ color him impressed. his eyes widen and he looks thoroughly surprised, then absolutely pleased. ]

Your taste is--appreciated.

Do you speak French?

Those are fighting words right there I'll have you know!

[vampirique]

What?

What is "billy" supposed to mean? I think that I agree.

69 Eyes if they have it.

I am going to a store with CDs to attempt to search further. I will look for them.

I assume you mean 1990s? If not, I know that there's some John Phillips Sousa around here somewhere.

I did not listen to much music in the late 19th century.

An American? [ intrigued. ]

[needednomore]

1999?

[Said in the tone of this being real ancient history to her. She had to consider what she's read historically about that period of time.]

I think Evanescence was some sort of rock band, right? Gothic rock maybe but not hard.

video;

[vampirique]

Is it?

[ THE PLOT THICKENS... ]

I have not heard them before. What does it mean, not hard?

[whatsupcroc]

Which is just about the best decade for music ever. What kind of music are you looking for? I mean, there's stuff like Blink 182, then there's the Hansens, or the Barenaked Ladies. I like some of Oasis's stuff... though I guess there's also the Backstreet Boys. You hear a lot of them on the radio!

[onemoredeath]

I am going to have to expand your mind, young lady.

[vampirique]

--That is a lot of information at once. I do not know what I am looking for specifically.

[ quietly. ]

I like the Talking Heads. If that assists.

[ so embarrassing ]
