Does anyone have spare quarters or dimes? Or something akin to American currency? I'd like to play with the ice cream shop's jukebox a little more and see if I can shuffle to some late 90s music.

(The ice cream looks good, but there's no durian flavor, so pass for now).

And just to see who knows this little track...

"You are my fire
The one desire..."

5 points to whoever finishes the verse! It'd be wonderful to know it exists in other worlds and timelines 😊

Not finishing that verse because I couldn't get that song out my head until 2005 and I've enjoyed my last fifteen years of blissful peace from the Backyard Boys.

Anyway, if you want coins, you may find one or two out and about the city. Consider it a scavenger hunt.

[luciole]

I guess a yard and street are pretty much the same thing 🤭 But I'm glad I can remind you of the masterpiece once again! Should I bring up another earworm instead?

I don't think I'll scavenge for coins though. That's a bit too much work for one thing.

[inlovewithmycar]

Already forcibly scabbing over that little reminder. Nothing but wweet, boy-band free silence for me, thank you.

Shame. You could get your hands on some real keepers. But avarice really isn't the card I can play in a city where money doesn't exist.

[luciole]

Not even "Bye, Bye, Bye?"
"What Makes You Beautiful?"
Make room in your heart for the boys.

In retrospect I don't even have a shilling to my name not that the little ice cream parlor is much interest to me

Don't know that song but that's probably not a surprise
real creative lyrics there
immaculate

[luciole]

I didn't have any money on me either when I woke up in the subway. Shame that of all times, this thing requires some coins.

Do you like ice cream Daan? I was born in a warm country so I do love cold treats.

As for the song, you may not know it but if you ever hear me sing the whole thing, you have my guarantee that it will be stuck in your head for days on end.

[limbical]

Don't have much of a sweet tooth to be honest
first time i had cake i thought it was too much
Might be because of how i was raised

Challenge accepted
Next time we meet you should try singing it to me.

have you tried the bank? [ actually, he's not sure if there's currency there at all. ]

[luciole]

I'd rather not return there if I can help it.
There weren't any coins in there when I checked anyway.

[metafictions]

I was in America for a few weeks before I woke up here. I think I still have some spare change, I can check for you. [Not like he needs it for anything else here.]

Believe when I say / I want it that way?
Did I get it?

[luciole]

That would be nice of you, thank you!

And you get your 5 points for finishing the verse 🥳
If a karaoke bar is ever found, you can be the first to sing that song with me!

[metafictions]

I'm not really big on karaoke, but... [But she was so nice about it...] I guess I could try?

Also, I just checked my wallet. I definitely have some quarters and dimes. Don't make me sing right away and you can have them.

[ Those lyrics have the unhappy distinction of being both way after and way before Peter's time on Earth, so no comment on that front.

Otherwise— ]

what's durian?

[luciole]

[She clearly needs to get him caught up with all the addictive pop songs during and after the 90s.]

Durian is an acquired taste!
But to be more specific, it's a unique fruit you can find throughout Southeast Asia, including Vietnam.
It has quite the aroma. Rather offputting even.

[nostalgiabomb]

[ show him the meaning, Lucinda!!! ]

offputting isn't really the most complimentary descriptor

like offputting in the way that someone who's drenched in perfume is offputting, or?

what's durian

[ —train... ]

[luciole]

A very misunderstood fruit.
It can also be an improvised weapon in a pinch!

[kampfgeist]

this has somehow both answered my question and not answered it at all

why would you use a fruit as a weapon?

@wrenched

[wrenchedup]

why do you do this to me, specifically, a person you've yet to meet but have tormented so deeply with fucking backstreet boys.

[luciole]

Because!
Believe when I say
That I want it that way
