JOHN: oh jeez... um. im sorry that happened to you?
JOHN: i'm no good at this consoling stuff...
ROSE: No need. The damage is done.
ROXY: ...
JOHN: is she doing okay at least?
ROSE: Kanaya is faring well, from what I can see.
ROSE: She's been quieter than usual, but... I can't say I wouldn't be the same way.
ROSE: It's times like these that make you wish for a return to determinism.
ROSE: To simply see where it is, to know if it would be okay at the end...
JOHN: how about you, robin?
ROBIN: huh i was fuckin chilling
ROBIN: we had been cooking something
ROBIN: by which i mean aradia and i were on fire in the recording room
JOHN: oh? share it!
ROBIN: no dude it is like absolutely not your jam at all
ROBIN: on purpose
JOHN: what, you made it specifically for me to not like it??
ROBIN: no not what i mean dumbass
ROBIN: its like not the kind of thing you put in the mixtape
ROBIN: maybe a sound test menu buried deep in some old game
ROBIN: but its not meant to be listened to
ROBIN: like industrial-trance-harsh noise.......... rap
ROSE: You sound like Liz Phair.
ROBIN: youre damn right i was recording funstyle
ROBIN: with a sloppy groove and a relaxed manner goddamn
ROBIN: i would put some bars onto a cassette and they would put the tape through the heat death of the universe via TIME MAJJYKS until the tape was falling apart
ROBIN: and id record it again mimicking whatever the hell non-words i could make out
ROBIN: until i was speaking in complete gibberish that just sounded like english
ROBIN: on that prisencolinensinainciusol shit in the booth
ROBIN: downright unlistenable
ROBIN: that was before the winds picked up and wrecked our audio set up
ROBIN: but then you put a classic soul jam sample on underneath and it all lights up like a kids face getting the perfect gift on christmas
ROBIN: and i am like arnie schwarz
JOHN: in what movie.
ROBIN: jingle all the way dude cmon
JOHN: no, i know you were alluding to jingle all the way, dude.
JOHN: but we have a wide variety of arnolds to pick from.
JOHN: i'm being a good friend and playing in the space!
ROSE: Do you think she was terminating those beats?
ROXY: going last action hero at the mic? lmao
ROXY: ice cold mr freeze ass beats
ROSE: Perhaps she wasn't even "Arnie Schwarz" in any role.
ROSE: Enacting shockingly conservative policies upon the track.
ROSE: Was the beat as "hip and sexy" as he demanded environmentalism become if it were to succeed?
SOLLUX: karkat and i heard them making it thr0ugh the fl00r. its pr0bably juni0r.
ROBIN: oh my god dude shut up
SOLLUX: id say make me but y0u hate it s0 much when i d0nt play in y0ur gay little spaces
