two: voice

[fourcenturies]

[Adam clicks on the voice. He sighs slightly. When he speaks, you can tell he just really doesn't know what to think.]

I'm sorry in advance.

[You hear the tell-tale signs of a cd being inserted in a boombox. After a while, this song starts to play. All three minutes and nineteen seconds of it. When the song finishes, Adam speaks again, sounding slightly bemused as well as confused as all hell.]

So yes. Crystal, that's S Club 7. I'm fairly certain that listening to music like that is considered torture in some places.

Does anybody want this bloody cd? If not, I'm throwing it in the trash.

Oh, my-- _{( she just dissolves into laughter. )}

[fourcenturies]

You know, I listened to this thing for three minutes and they never told me just what an 'S Club Party' was.

[crystalia]

I think the music was supposed to be the clue. Maybe you should give it another listen, to be sure?

[fourcenturies]

You know, I think this would work better if I had a pair of fresh ears to listen. Maybe you'd be able to find something that I missed.

[crystalia]

I don't know... I'm hardly an expert.

[fourcenturies]

What a coincidence, neither am I.

[crystalia]

We'll be the blind leading the blind, then.

[fourcenturies]

I can think of worse things to be.

[crystalia]

Well, deaf, certainly. Since this is music we're discussing.

[fourcenturies]

Precisely. And, we at least know how to work a cd. Imagine if I was from the 1600s-we couldn't get anything done.

[crystalia]

Perish the thought.

When you put it like that, we have a bit to be grateful for.

[fourcenturies]

So, when do you want to meet up?

[crystalia]

Hard as it may be to believe, I've got a pretty clear schedule. Whenever's convenient for you.

[fourcenturies]

My schedule's just as clear as yours.

How about tonight?

[crystalia]

Sounds perfect. Where should I meet you?

[fourcenturies]

How about one of the bars? We can go back to my place from there.

[crystalia]

_{( she laughs a little, at that. )}

That's pretty bold. But I can work with that.

[fourcenturies]

I'm a bold man. There's a place nearby that I've grown to like. [and insert directions to a bar here]

[crystalia]

I'll see you there, then.

log/spam/assume?

[fourcenturies]

See you there.

log or spam? w/e works for you!

[crystalia]

_{( and she smiles to herself before shutting off the link. so not subtle, crystal. )}

[fourcenturies]

[Adam stood in front of the bar, leaning against the wall, as he waited for Crystal. He didn't know what she looked like, of course, but he knew what she sounded like. Besides, he was the only person outside of the bar. She would know it was him.]

[crystalia]

_{( And Crystal arrives in short order. She's wearing a knee-length yellow dress, black boots, black belt. Like most superheroes, she picks a color scheme and really commits to it. Anyway, she when she spots him she offers a regal nod of greeting. )}

Hello, Adam.
