 [07:12] GA: | Hey. |

 [07:12] AT: ∴ Oh, it's you; ∴

 [07:12] AT: ∴ Hello again. ∴

 [07:12] GA: | Sorry about earlier. Or yesterday, or last week, or however long it's been. |

 [07:12] GA: | I was a bit stressed, and no offence, but you seemed like a bit of a nerd. |

 [07:13] AT: ∴ Time's such a lose concept we all agree on more or less ∴

 [07:13] AT: ∴ ;and I dont' want to alarm you, but I am a nerd I suppose. ∴

 [07:13] GA: | I have tons of nerd friends, though. Like Guitars. And that yellow guy. |

 [07:13] AT: ∴ The aphorism stands: Know thy self. ∴

 [07:13] AT: ∴ ...Yellow guy? ∴

 [07:14] GA: | Another troll. You should know Guitars, though. He's pink. |

 [07:14] GA: | Well, probably not pink. His text is pink. |

 [07:14] AT: ∴ Oh yes, Eddy; ∴

 [07:14] GA: | If he were pink that'd be a bit silly. |

 [07:14] AT: ∴ He's excitable sort, isn't he? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:14] GA: | Yeah. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:15] AT: ∴ It would be odd looking if his skin were pink; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:15] GA: | He invited me to a band. Or mentioned a band and I said I could join. Anyway, I'm in your band now. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:15] AT: ∴ Are you? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:15] AT: ∴ What do you think of our band's concept? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:15] GA: | Drums and vocals. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:15] GA: | Concept? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:16] AT: ∴ Hmmm. I'm guessing he didn't explain my vision of my band or our musical genre. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:16] GA: | I think he said something about rock. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:16] AT: ∴ He likes to boil it down to simply "rock"; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:16] GA: | I dunno, I'm not that knowledgeable about music. My lore's not even +1. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:17] GA: | ...How would you describe it? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:18] AT: ∴ Well, it's certainly rock, but think Experimental Post-Prog Rock, conceptual lyrics and multimedia clips. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:18] AT: ∴ That sort of thing. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:18] GA: | No idea what any of that means. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:19] GA: | Just give me some sheet music and lyrics that aren't too nerdy and I'm good to go. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:19] GA: | If we sing about videogames I'm out. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:19] AT: ∴ Hmmm, well I've recorded some percussion sounds already by allowing my ceiling fan and chandelier to crash to the ground; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:20] GA: | That sounds like a mess to clean up. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:20] AT: ∴ it was: However a steady 4/4 rhythm with accents on the ands of 3 and 4 would work for the guitar riff Eddy sent me. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:21] AT: ∴ Also, you wouldnt' be offended if your vocal tracks were altered a bit and mixed with harmony sung by myself, would you? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:21] GA: | Are they going to be autotuned? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:21] AT: ∴ No. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:21] GA: | I don't know. How altered are we talkin'? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:21] AT: ∴ Not Autotuned; think more vocoded and looped, ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:22] GA: | Not sure what vocoded is, but looped is just when you reuse some of the lines, right? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:22] AT: ∴ Think pitched down a step, to create harmony, but unnatural sounding harmony. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:22] AT: ∴ Though I intend to use natural harmony as well. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:22] GA: | You've lost me. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:22] GA: | So we won't be doing any live gigs? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:23] AT: ∴ Well, not in the immediate future, I'm not entirely sure where on the planets my band mates are; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:24] GA: | Yeah, I'm living in the palace on Alternia, so. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:24] AT: ∴ Of course you are; you and your angel friends? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:24] GA: | Huh? Oh, no, my angel friend lives... somewhere else on Alternia? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:25] AT: ∴ Oh indeed? Even the Heavenly Host is not allowed to see the high bloods? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:25] GA: | Yeah, I heard about you as a trolling target from her, and then heard about you as a band mate from Eddy. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:25] GA: | I don't know, this convoluted lie is getting out of hand. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:25] AT: ∴ Indeed; at any rate, you seem quite interested in me, should I be flattered or threatened? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:25] GA: | A little of column A, a little of column B. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:26] AT: ∴ Perhaps that's the best outcome. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:26] GA: | I think associating with you and Eddy might be treason. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:26] GA: | Or something. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:27] GA: | Whatever. So how old are you, Red? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:27] AT: ∴ Well, Draconian Law rules with an ever purest of irons fists. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:28] AT: ∴ and I'm 18 years. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:28] AT: ∴ or 6.8 or so sweeps, if you prefer. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:28] GA: | Good, we're all around the same age. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:28] GA: | 6.8? I think you might mean 8.6. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:28] GA: | Though that might be 19. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:29] AT: ∴ Perhaps, The conversion was never something they bothered teaching he "special kids" at my school. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:29] GA: | You were a 'special' kid? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:29] GA: | Hard to tell. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:29] AT: ∴ I have horns on Earth, and I'm not a troll. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:30] AT: ∴ Despite the fact "Daddy's a famous wizard" He felt it would be better if I was "Privately tutored with other children like me" ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:30] GA: | Oh? You a troll? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:30] GA: | Your name is 4 letters, though. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:30] GA: | That's like, breaking the most important rule. The naming scheme. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:30] AT: ∴ Well, I'm not a troll. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:30] AT: ∴ I'm different. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:31] GA: | You and Eddy are both hybrids? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:31] AT: ∴ Absolutely not; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:31] AT: ∴ Ha ha, I have fooled you. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:31] GA: | We might as well call this band 'One and two half trolls.' |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:31] AT: ∴ No no, that won't be the name, because I'm a foolish human who makes up stories. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:32] GA: | What, do you think I'm racist or something? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:32] GA: | Some of my best friends are hybrids. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:32] GA: | Like that one pink guy. Who I've known for a week or two. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:32] AT: ∴ Well, if talking to a human may be a crime, I figured talking to a hybrid, which who knows if you ever have, would be... ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:32] AT: ∴ worse? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:33] GA: | I don't think it's a crime any more. Anyway, I'm the Royal Bodyguard's daughter. Pretty high up there. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:33] AT: ∴ Besides, I have already named the band "A Boundless Eternity Returns" ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:33] GA: | Plus, I'm already talking to Eddy. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:33] GA: | Wow. You got any other band names from Hot Topic you want to share? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:34] AT: ∴ It's a reference to Nietzsche ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:35] AT: ∴ The easiest way to explain, simply and without sounding too much like a "nerd" would be to say this; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:35] AT: ∴ Think of everything that has ever happened, recurring on itself, forever. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:35] AT: ∴ And it keeps happening through out the universe. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:35] GA: | Still pretty nerdy. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:35] AT: ∴ I know, I'm trying. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:39] AT: ∴ At any rate, if you are truly interested in joining aBER, I could send you a stanza of lyrics, and you could send me a track of you singing them; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:40] AT: ∴ You can accompany yourself on drums while you sing or separately, that is up to you. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:40] GA: | Okay. I'll do them both at once. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[07:41] -- anaximandersTrepidation [AT] sends file: TruthEluded.doc --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:42] GA: | Truth Eluded? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:42] AT: ∴ tentative title, the lyrics are within. At least the first verse or so. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:42] GA: | I'm going to have to write a few songs for us. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:42] GA: | Otherwise we'll never get anywhere. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:43] AT: ∴ Well, we certainly could expand our musical horizon; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:43] GA: | So we're both on vocals, then? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:43] GA: | You said something about editing in your voice or whatever. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:43] GA: | We're never going to be able to do live gigs like that. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:44] AT: ∴ Well, I'm sure I will eventually be able to get affects microphones and distortion petals; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:44] AT: ∴ It would have to be a different experience on record than it is live. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:45] AT: ∴ Also, I plan on launching at least on recording of our music into space; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:45] AT: ∴ *one ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:45] GA: | You are literally the nerdiest person I have ever met. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:45] GA: | And I know a guy with computers +4. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:45] GA: | This is going to be quite the ride. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:45] AT: ∴ Well, I will have to look him up when I inevidably break my computer. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:46] AT: ∴ But I will endevour to wear that title with pride: ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:46] GA: | He's a troll, though. Trolls don't tend to be so nice. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:46] AT: ∴ I have noticed. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:46] GA: | People who wear their insults with pride aren't very cool people. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:47] AT: ∴ How else would I wear something I simply am without effort? ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:47] GA: | I need to get you some cool lessons. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:47] GA: | You'll never make in the world like this. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:48] AT: ∴ I was unaware, I can assure you, my role model is quite far from the generally accepted definition of "cool" ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:48] AT: ∴ Despite what Eddy thinks. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:52] AT: ∴ And by "role model" I am refering to my guardian and father, though admittedly I do not model myself after him. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:55] GA: | Alright, I've recorded it. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;">[07:55] -- gallionicAcrobat [GA] --file sent-- --

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:56] AT: ∴ Hmmm. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:56] AT: ∴ You have a nice voice, and your rhythm is steady. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:56] GA: | Thanks. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:57] GA: | I don't think I got too into the words. With soul and stuff. But with a bit of practice, I should be able to pretend I'm all for these lyrics. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:57] AT: ∴ In truth, The lyrics don't need to have particular "passion" to them" ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:58] AT: ∴ The easy, breathy, lazy tone you gave them is similar to how I envisioned them. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:58] GA: | Lazy? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:58] AT: ∴ I can leave the "soulful" lyrics up to you. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:58] GA: | That wasn't laziness. That was apathetic. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:59] GA: | Big difference. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:59] AT: ∴ apathy is either having the ability to care or being incapable of caring and simply not putting forth the effort. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:59] AT: ∴ Laziness is the same only phyically, I believe. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [07:59] AT: ∴ I assure you, it was not meant in a derogatory sense ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:00] GA: | I'm not lazy physically. My +4 is strife, and +3 is acrobatics. Plus, like, all of my stunts have to do with combat or movement. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:00] AT: ∴ I was not asserting that you were lazy physically, only in voice you chose to sing with. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:01] AT: ∴ Rest assured, it was a good choice. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:01] GA: | So, we have 3 members? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:01] GA: | Eddy's telling me about some fourth member he might have. Or a fifth member. Something about a harmonica, and a piano. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:02] AT: ∴ This is the first I'm hearing of this; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:02] GA: | No bass yet, though, and I get the impression that the bass is important. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:02] AT: ∴ I was unaware Eddy wanted to be my recruiting manager. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:02] GA: | Yeah, I think I told Eddy something about how he sounds like a leader and now he's organizing more stuff. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:02] GA: | It's probably good for him, though. Leadership isn't nerdy. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:03] AT: ∴ It is my project, though. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:03] AT: ∴ If anything I could do everything myself without help from a band. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:03] GA: | Don't be too humble, now. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:05] AT: ∴ Well, he doesn't have the mind for a concept and the ideals behind the band; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:05] AT: ∴ He's simply the guitarist. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:06] GA: | Simply? He seems to be doing all of the recruiting. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:06] GA: | You aren't even playing an instrument. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:07] GA: | Maybe I should make my own band. With blackjack. And hookers. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:07] AT: ∴ However you want to form your own side project is fine with me; ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:07] AT: ∴ And just because I was not taught music doesn't mean I don't have an incredible idea for a project. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:09] GA: | Yeah, whatever. Just send me the things you want me to sing and play and I'll send them back. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:11] AT: ∴ I will write up the rest of the Truth Eluded, embelish on the rhythm as you want. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:12] GA: | Sure. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:12] AT: ∴ For now I will get to work on that, I will contact you at a later time. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:12] GA: | No hard feelings about last time, or calling you a nerd so many times, right? |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:12] AT: ∴ I assure you, my feelings are not "hard" on account of what I've been called. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:13] GA: | Okay, good. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:13] GA: | Inter-band drama is just too cliche for me. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:13] AT: ∴ Agreed. ∴

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:14] GA: | See you later, then. |

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [08:14] AT: ∴ Talk to you later. ∴
