[I'm so sorry to do this to you Barge, but there is a clatter and then suddenly video. Yeah, it's an accident. But at least it comes with a show!

There is music blaring, and yeah, it's Call Me Maybe. Even better, Scott is totally belting it at the top of his lungs.]

-was blowing, where you think you're going baby?

[He's off screen, or he was, because suddenly he's leaping onto his bed with a dramatic point.]

Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy! But here's my number, so call me maybe!

[This is that all out kind of singing, where you kind of suck and you might be a little tone def, but you don't care because you're alone in your room.

(He's definitely a little tone def.)]

It's hard to look right at you baaaaaaaaaby!

[He's jump-dancing on the bed now. The monkey may be involved. It's pretty embarrassing, and a touch adorable, because it's really hard for Scott not to look slightly adorable at all times.]

So here's my number, McCall me maybe!

[Adorableness retracted, he's completely dorksih.]

[Private to the Admiral]

[Added later, after the impromptu serenade.] I don't...know what's going on right now. But, I didn't hear about the clinic, and I just, wanted to know, I guess. Assuming everything's okay, anyway.





Is everything okay?

I dunno, it's - it's upbeat? It's fun, and it - it tells a story?

[forsaken_queen]

And what poignant, useful story does it entail? [Clearly, as indicated by her heavy sarcasm, she doesn't think it tells a very useful story at all.]

[semifreakingnormal]

It's about this girl who likes this guy. [And, because he used to be a totally normal teen who went on youtube a lot:] And she keeps trying to impress him, and he keeps not noticing him, and she finally catches his attention, only it turns out he's gay and likes her friend.

[forsaken_queen]

[You're getting a very unfriendly stare for a good long moment, Scott.]

Would you like a chance to rephrase that so it doesn't sound like mindless drivel?

[semifreakingnormal]

[He is deflating so fast.] That's a story! What, what kind of music do you like?

[forsaken_queen]

That is little more than adolescent gossip, hardly worth preserving for the ages.

I like music. Real music.

[semifreakingnormal]

So what's real music?

[forsaken_queen]

Has that dreck rendered you deaf? I've already explained this, at length. Or is your simple mind incapable of retaining anything of actual value, for more than twelve seconds?

[semifreakingnormal]

You're not giving any examples here! This is what music's like where I'm from! It's just - it's like, top 40s and all that.
