Caritas; Wednesday [07/31].

Summer was squinting a little at the stage today when she came in to set up for her shift, as the zombies seemed to be milling around and testing out some more uncommon instruments. Their usual instruments were still on hand so no one had to be subjected to doing their favorite karaoke song to the bagpipes or an otamatone, but....

That would be pretty funny.

Until then, though, the patrons of the bar might be treated to some familiar background music, but as done by theramin or ocarina, and maybe a groaning debate or two amongst the band (no doubt sparked by zombie Yoko) about whether or not certain instruments really classified as 'uncommon.'

Summer was, of course, staying out of it, no matter how many times Tino tried to get her in on some kind of betting pool.

so i just got back from the doctor and apparently i fucked up my shoulder so hard i don't have the fine motor control for guitars, Atton texted, apropos of nothing. solves that mystery

wow that ended up going in a very different direction that i thought it was going to based on just the first part

in a good way!

That second part seemed pretty important to add, and then Summer snorted, and she hoped that, even though he couldn't really hear it, Atton still heard it. You know?

and what a convenient excuse. i can't wait to hear u explain to someone that no no u don't suck, really! it's just a bad shoulder!

Atton snorted, sinking back further in his seat. jokes on you i already said no on the rhythm guitar. now i just have an excuse to get a digital piano

u were looking for an excuse to get a digital piano?

There was a pause long enough for him to read that and probably start typing out his response before she added:

aren't u a grown ass adult who can just get a digital piano if he wants one?

im a grown ass adult with a bunch of band friends who've been whining about me picking up the guitar for like a bazillion years, Atton retorted.

You always thought grown-ass adults had more power until you became one and you realized everyone around you was still as much of a hassle as they had been when you were kids.

idk man all i hear is just more E X C U S E S 😘

oh like you haven't been peer-pressured before don't lie to me smith

i mean yeah but when i was like 17 bro

so like five minutes ago?

u know and here i was trying SO HARD not to make any old man jokes too. i see how it is

Atton rolled his eyes good-naturedly. please you just didn't see a good opening for one you have NEVER held back on the old man jokes, he texted. how's things over there anyway

u started this whole conversation with a shoulder injury. that was an opening wide enough to fit a whole goddamn star destroyer through but I'm BETTER THAN THAT

And things are good! Wedding was fun this weekend even if Stark was a koala and ruined Japan. How are things with you? Besides your bad excuse I mean bum shoulder

the shoulder injury's old, summer.

But Atton was going to grab on to anything other than that discussion (and his incredibly terrible track record of staying in medical care long enough to prevent permanent damage from taking root). bet the wedding was fun. He swallowed any 'especially because' cracks like a good boy, then pushed on with, dropping our video tomorrow probably. then the record. so that's exciting.

Or terrifying. One of the two.

Summer sighed and rolled her eyes a little, because, Atton. ATTON....

and so are YOU, atton

Like...if she didn't know any better, she'd think he was actually disappointed she wasn't busting his old, ancient balls more right now!

probably? And that IS exciting! Why didn't you open with THAT?

A beat, and then:

Not enough to complain about with that one?

Because one of the two made Atton nauseous with nerves, actually, and she knew how he felt about admitting to that kind of thing.

look I'm just excited about the complaint-free piano i can get now, space, he texted. give us a boost when we go live?
