@silverhand; misfire

How am I supposed to write anything without an axe?

Look, I’m just saying, need to get my start somehow, and can’t get a start without the right tools to rake in the not-cash. You seen the shop I showed you? Think they’d miss it if one goes missing?

[foulplayed]

( Well, here's an opportunity for a little fun ... )

Nah, I'd say go for it. What's the worst that could happen?

I've gotta ask, though. Why exactly do you need an axe?

[engrams]

You just been pretending to be paying attention or what?

Need something to perform with, unless you think people are gonna be impressed with my air guitar.

[foulplayed]

Hey, maybe you're just not as interesting as you think you are.

Anyway, something to perform with. Got it. Because a stolen axe will make you more desirable. I'm not sure I follow the logic, but is it at least an impressive axe?

[engrams]

Yeah? Maybe you don’t know me well enough.

[Johnny is a lot of things, and not all of them great — but he isn’t stupid. The conversation’s gone off the rails as though it’s had the context sucked dry from it, and a quick check of the username reveals just why that is.]

First thing: only the best axe for a rockerboy like me and second thing: who the hell is this.

[foulplayed]

I think you should go first, rockerboy, since you're the one who ended up messaging me.

[engrams]

Johnny Silverhand. Might mean fuck-all to you.

Your turn.

[foulplayed]

Well, how about that for a coincidence.

Yuri Leclerc. We had drinks, and you put your boots all over the furniture. Good times.

[engrams]

Right. I remember you. Guess the alien alcohol didn’t keel us over dead, after all.

Too bad the tech’s not nearly as reliable. If my conversation’s gonna be flung into someone else’s notifications, it could at least have chosen a better time.

[Hmmmmm ignore that part about implied theft, Yuri]

[foulplayed]

( No 8) )

Hey, what's a little casual discussion of theft between two almost-strangers? If anything I'd say it's brought us closer together.

Seriously, though. Why do you need an axe to perform? Are you starring in an opera?

[engrams]

Who said anything about theft?

An opera? [lmao] Not my style. I was in a rock band back home, and a frontman isn’t a frontman without an axe — an electric guitar.

[foulplayed]

... You've named your instrument after a weapon?

( He is confusion )

[engrams]

Guitar’s referred to as an axe. ‘Cause of the shape?

Tell me you know what I’m talking about.

[foulplayed]

Alright. I know what you're talking about.

( He very obviously doesn't know what you're talking about, JOhnny. )

[engrams]

[doubt]

If only I could believe it.

You’re really missing out, you know.
