017 ⇨ shake it off

[brobeforehos]

Right, so - I can't use video on this, because it feels like every third word coming out of my mouth is either tick or tock. Like some vaguely terrifying horror scene from one of those movies guys think they can get some groping done if they take their girlfriends to see.

Anyway. Music seems to help? Not by a lot, and I don't think it'll get you in good graces with your neighbours if you do, but since we're all going barking mad here with the incessant ticking - louder than before, I'm sure - music, at least, sounds nicer.

Crowds sound nicer, too. So, let's try to see if we can build one?

What kinda horror films?

[Some rat bastard dates.]

[brobeforehos]

The gorey ones.

Maybe one of the music groups should host a concert of some sort.

[brobeforehos]

We have music groups in the City? Actually formed bands?

[signatures]

Yes. Time Tick. Time Clock. Time Bomb? Something of the sort.

[brobeforehos]

Keeping the theme going.

[signatures]

More or less. I'm sure they could use the distraction just as well.

[brobeforehos]

I'm sure there must be a way or a place to pump up the volume. If human company doesn't work, then maybe electronic.

[signatures]

Plenty of people are about, in any case. Likely looking for the same thing.

[brobeforehos]

It makes for a good meeting of minds to find a bandaid sort of solution.

[errandry]

S'it moving up towards us or something?

[brobeforehos]

Might as well be. Take a little City in your life, enjoy. New marketting strategy.

[errandry]

Think I'll take a giant pass. This's happened before, huh.

[brobeforehos]

Not a fan of the City's publicity? You'll hurt its feelings.

[errandry]

Its clockwork's way too loud to hear me, I'm safe!

[brobeforehos]

Everyone's a critic.

[errandry]

What, you switching sides?

[brobeforehos]

How could I resist the gentle lull of tick-tocking, thudding in my ear to the point of exhaustion?

[mightbeconcussed]

Why, Mae! That sounds like you're suggesting a party.

[brobeforehos]

Oh, there's a possibility that you're right. Except this time Muhammad would go to the mountain.

[mightbeconcussed]

In any case, a party can't hurt. We'll either all be having fun together or we'll be going insane together. Solidarity. Yo!

[brobeforehos]

United we stand, together we dance?

[mightbeconcussed]

My thoughts exactly and we look smoking doing it.

[brobeforehos]

I don't know any other way.

[mightbeconcussed]

We need to liberate a bar to do it in. Jilly's working at the Blue Light tonight.
