At least some people do. [ He smiles at her. ] We push others along, that's alright. It's worked pretty well for me so far.

Yeah? [ He cants his head a little. ] What is it you do?

[hasitsthorns]

Nothing as interesting as spaceship captain, I can assure you, but- I'm a roadie. Was a roadie? I guess was since can't really travel too far with bands here, but...

That's what I did back home. Set up stage and fetched coffee for musicians way better than me.

[winscenario]

A roadie. [ Jim frowns. Evidently it's not a word he's instantly familiar with. As she explains, though, he realizes he has seen movies and shows about it, and his face lights up in recognition. ]

Ah! Alright, yeah. I know what you mean now. [ He nods. ] Sounds exciting. Any musicians I'd have heard about?

[hasitsthorns]

Mm, maybe not. I only started working gigs in the-

[ Eighties, she almost says. But he knows her timeline now. Well, her fake timeline. She doesn't look at day over twenty-five (or so she's been told) so that wouldn't line up. ]

-early 2000s. So unless Pop and Rap starting to mix was your jam then nah, probably not.

[winscenario]

[ Yes, because people who live for an unusually long time for whatever reason is definitely totally weird and unheard of, especially in a place like this.

Jim probably wouldn't even blink at that, actually. He's seen a lot of weird so far. This would be nothing. (Maybe almost nothing.) ]

Well, I've got a very eclectic taste, so— you never know, actually. [ He pulls up a holoscreen between them. She'll find a playlist there. ] Okay, give me a name. Let's get some music going.

[hasitsthorns]

[ Perhaps not here but Rose comes from a world where most people would blink at that, then- They'd try to kill her for it. So, most here will have to forgive her white lies. She's still getting to the idea that people on this moon won't hate her just because of what she is, just because they hear the word 'demon.' ]

Woah, nifty, [ she says to that pop up holoscreen. ] Uh. How about... some Nirvana?

[winscenario]

[ He's seen a lot of weird stuff, honestly. But he also can't fault people for wanting to keep some secrets. Old habits (and old fears) die hard. ]

Computer, play some Nirvana. [ And promptly a playlist of shuffled Nirvana songs starts playing. See, it's kinda like having his own personal Siri. Except cooler because Siri can't take him to outer space. ]
