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.

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 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.

[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.

[luciole]

Understandable. I like sweets with the caveat that it needs to be well-balanced. I'm not exactly young anymore so there's only so much sugar the body can take.

Well! I wouldn't mind.
I usually associate that song with being a teenager or singing it at wedding receptions with especially drunken company.
So singing it to someone from another world will be a first.

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.

[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.

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?

[limbical]

Fair enough. is that why you like durians?

Rest assured i can be drunken company for the song

[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!

[luciole]

Not necessarily.
I just like it c:

Glad I can depend on you for that then!
Try not to overdo it before then alright?
Have you been able to rest up from the bank?

[luciole]

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

[inlovewithmycar]

You, young person, are a menace. Maybe even a terror.

And sorry, no vacancies in this charred and shriveled raisin of a heart for them. All rooms presently occupied.

[luciole]

Oh have I made it that obvious?
In person, I've been told I'm rather mild-mannered.
A terror is for other circumstances but I'm hardly that at the moment.

[inlovewithmycar]

Yeah, it's always the quiet, mild-mannered ones.

Probably all that repressed urge to unleash their inner Bastard.

[ 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.

[luciole]

I don't know if I have an inner bastard but I have been called a Bitch.
So take that as you will c:
I guess there's been valid reasons to call me one but it's a rather strong name.

You know




It's worth a shot ⭐

[fanstheflames]

Then yeah!
Take as much as you want from me!

[luciole]

Thank you Tsuruno c:
I'll just take a few.
Have you been to the ice cream shop yet?

[fanstheflames]

Yeah!
It's the site of secrets!!

[ What. ]
