Love Springs Eternal (??)

[bright_and_blue]

Who: ERRYBODY
What: It's Valentine's Day, and there are matchmaking notices everywhere. Here's an open log for one and all to post their shenanigans, meet ups, freak outs, and whatever else they're going to do about this.
When: forward dated to Feb. 14
Where: All over Aqures Ixen
Warnings: Ridiculousness.

[Plastering the city are notices matching up all of the Heroes of Light with one another, both the best and the worst. Moogles are having a grand old time handing them out and hanging them up, and are encouraging Heroes to speak with their top matches.

Naturally, reactions to this are mixed. Some Heroes are intrigued, some annoyed, some offended. Despite their feelings or misgivings, the rest of the city is still celebrating Valentine's Day as well, and now the thoughts of love are everywhere.

OOC: This is an open log for everyone to use for Valentine's Day stuff! Feel free to make your own prompts.]

[Music is usually one of the only things Johnny has confidence in, but he really does get punches here. It's a little trying.]

Ya'd think that, until ya introduce people who never even heard rock music to some Megadeath songs.

[C'est le vie. Johnny can't sing like Dave Mustane anyway. He's got the idea that Duster must be a musician too, from this sort of talk.]

Guitar. Sing, too. D'you play anything?

[mindofathief]

Megadeath? [He knows what rock music is, but that's an unfamiliar band name.]

I used to play for DCMC. It was the only band on the Nowhere Islands, but were were pretty popular while we lasted. I was the bassist. [He smiles and straightens his back. A skiiny why with too much facial hair doesn't exactly scream "hottest musicians around".] If only I had enough money to buy a bass, I could give you a demonstration.

Maybe we ain't from the same place, then. [As he's heard of neither.] Pretty nice that ya had a band, though. Closest I got was high school band. [He rolls his eyes heavily. He barely had friends, let alone people to play in a band with.]

You should save up for one. I don't make a ton of money, but I ain't just stuck playin' on street corners. There're some bars I play at, and I even play for some theaters sometimes when they need a guitarist. But considerin' they give us free housing here, I don't exactly have to worry about makin' rent with it.

[mindofathief]

That's what I'm thinking. If I keep on fighting those monsters, I'll eventually save enough for an instrument and a new outfit. [He's also considering asking Cid for his wig, but that will wait some other time.]

You know, I can't play at a club without someone else who needs backup. What do you think about teaming up sometime and drawing in a bigger crowd? It'll be easier to get a gig that way.

[charming_jerk]

What, ya really think so? [He has a genuine moment of surprise, but goes back to his usual defensiveness.] I mean, ya haven't even heard me play yet. Y'sure you wanna ask a guy that when ya don't know how good he is or isn't yet?

[mindofathief]

Hey, when I first showed up at Club Titboo with no memories and no idea how to play any instrument, the guys gave me a chance. All it takes is practice, right?

[charming_jerk]

Let's get you an instrument first, then we'll do some practice sessions and see how things go from there. Show what we can do. How's that? Deal?

[He offers his hand, sealing the deal with a handshake.]

[mindofathief]

[He grabs Johnny's hand.] Deal.

[Duster returns the hand to his pocket.]

I'll send you a letter once I have enough money, okay?

[charming_jerk]

Sure, man. Ya can stop by the any of the pubs most nights, I'm usually playin' somewhere. Though if ya wanna hear some real rock 'n roll music sometime, I can play outside of a gig sometime, too.
